[OOC] World in Revolution: 1861

[Heyitsjiwon]

Wait, so... China is allies with UK? The hell happened with the first Opium war then? I thought it literally just ended in 1860.

About time we started the Constantinople Conference me thinks ^^'I'll start a conversation (had no time to invite Italy in IC, but given the current situation, I think the issues between Italy and Austria can be dealt with later :P)

Yes yes. Please start it.

[Pasta Sentient]

Looking forward to the Conference. I'm available really for the next 24 hours if we want to do the IRC. Just let us know when or what would be preferred.

[Kho]

I'll let Outcast deal with the technical stuff as GM, I really don't know anything beyond the RPing part of WiR :P

[Outcast]

Will be travelling on-and-off the next couple of days. I'll still be on, but probably not to the extent that I have been so far. Update once I stop travelling, then after that, the mother of all mini-updates. Some of y'all are going to learn a harsh lesson in the costs of war.

Also, I have to remain completely balanced and unbiased, and therefore should be observing but not directly taking part in any conference done through PMs or on IRC. I can only deal with stuff in the IC.

That doesn't sound ominous at all....

Once more, this is relevant:



Also, IRC? We have an IRC channel?

To the French Emperor and the Queen of the United Kingdom, we urge you to withdrawal your declaration and find a peaceful solution to this sorrowful state of affairs.

But... but HE STARTED IT !

If not, we should.

[NarcolepticSailor]

Y'all went too crazy with the ACW stuff. Didn't even wait one full turn before declaring war and throwing up blockades.

[Outcast]

Working on it. TBH I didn't really expect this RP to be needing one before even the first update. Hell, the last WiR I was in we made it 15 updates before we got in a world war.

We did have at least three or four almost near world war events, though. One right out the gate.

[Pasta Sentient]

Just curious, but is there a rulebook for how WIR work? Or is that to the discretion of the GM? How are rolls and such determined?

[Ampharos]

I feel like I should find a smaller version of my coat of arms. Then I look at it and am reminded that even the eagle heads have crowns. A double-headed equal with a crown over its heads with both individual heads wearing smaller crowns. Idc, it can be as big and obnoxious as it wants. This thing is majestic. (Unless Outcast says otherwise. :P)

[NarcolepticSailor]

Orders sent.

Also, it is majestic indeed. Kind of brings a tear to the eye when you look upon it.

Wish it would be sooner but definitely not complaining. I'm excited I know fighting a defensive war is supposed to be advantageous, but I guess we'll see how it affects everything.

Well, you did start this WiR right at the start of OTL Civil War...

What are all the scenarios for a World in Revolution game?

Also wish it was sooner, but definitely excited....and scared as heck. Those ominous words by God have filled my mind with horrors of the British Empire bankrupt, no army or navy, and the Prussians doing a tap dance across London.

I can read the headline "A Queen in Exile"

But also, you're already in a lot of debt.

@Byrd Man, this war/armed rebellion (whichever you want to call it) is going to be fun, I think. Best of luck to you!

EDIT: @Outcast, for the democratic nations, will you tell us when we change rulers absolutely, do we have some say in, or do we decide it entirely?

The very first one is set in 1900 and can be found here. The same guy (the creator of the system) did a 1920 one as well, here. Most recently, he did a 1778 one, here. IIRC, there's a Cold War one around here somewhere as well, but I don't think I'd trust that game since we apparently can't go one turn without a World War. :P
