[quote=@Gaebrael] I'd like to be a bit more optimistic, but ya, starting date I am going to say 1836 + 1d100. The result will be posted soon, time-stamped. [/quote] I agree with Nexerus here. We should not randomly pick a date solely on a dice role. I think there has been several people who have stated that they would like to start in 1836 (a date that we have not done on this board yet). Furthermore, we should not even worry about an end date. The game ends whenever it ends. I think that 1836 would be a good date. There has been three 1836 games on the Paradox Boards and we can see if we can salvage anything from their stats (so things that they used in those games seemed totally unnecessary).
