The Great War Rises (1914 RP)

[TheSage]

The Great War Rises

The date is the 27th of June, 1914. Tensions between Austria-Hungary and Serbia are at an all time high and rumors have it that Serbian nationalist have plans to assassinate Archduke Franz-Ferdinand. The world seems to be on a path to war, a war to end all wars.

New Technology, New Tactics, More Death

Sorry for the short description but this should be obvious, this RP starts a day before Archduke Franz-Ferdinand is assassinated OTL (Our Timeline). This RP, like most rps that involve actual historical events, does not involve you creating an app, it just involves you claiming a nation.
Nation claiming works like this, you, the person who wants to play, just says the top 3 nations that they want to claim, and if your first choice has not been chosen yet then you get it. (Note, if you pick Serbia or Austria-Hungary you do not have to have an assassination of Franz-Ferdinand happen, World War 1 in some way still happens)
That is about it for now, you can start claiming nations. I claim the United States of America.

Nation Claims (So Far)

United States of America = TheSage (OP)
Austria-Hungary = NationalBank
Russia = Tracyarmav
Japan = Comrade Doge
German Empire = Lord Coake

[TheSage]

German Empire please.

@Lord Coake

Thank god, someone finally claimed it.
Also, accepted.

[Lord Coake]

@TheSage Imperial Germany is one of my favorite nations historically. When I saw it was unclaimed, I was both mildly offended and highly excited at the same time.

Exactly what sort of system - stat wise - will you be using for this RP?

I effing hate numbers, especially during RP's, but I'd still like to participate if possible.

Depending on your answer, I would like to claim:

Great Britain
New Zealand
Canada

Assuming that 'the Commonwealth' is not connected to GB in this RP; if it is, then replace the latter two with Belgium and China.

@Lord Coake

I almost did, but I've done it to many times before, I wanted to see someone else play it. Will you focus on the wolf packs, the crushing the west, gobbling up the east, will you manage to balance it all, etc?

In my experience Russia gets very little love, I wanted to see if I could do something different with it, while trying to keep things realistic.

[Nobodyman123]

Hey guys. I've done lots of Roleplays, but I've never done a Nation Roleplay. If you humor me, I'd be more than happy to fill in for one of the nations

UPDATE: Except I see they are all full now. Damn

OOOH England!
