Question: I sent my responses to the three questions to Lumine and Windjammer via PM. Was I supposed to do this or was I supposed to post them openly in the thread?

Yes, from now on the answers will be sent via PM. Since I wrote the rules rather quickly I seem to have neglected that sending them via PM will really help backstabbing!

Do we really have to have my country's Archduke dying as the first picture in the gameplay thread?

I spent quite a long time looking for something appropiate, and I just didn't like the pictures of the Dreadnought, xD

I think the PM system should really only involve communique you wish to keep secret rather than for traditional cables, correct?

Indeed, but since a good part of the answers should be a secret (for some time), and since this is one aspect of the game that I did not plan very well, I chose to go with the answers being a secret. I apologize again for the constant changes, and while this system will remain in place for this turn, I will change this part at the start of the second turn.


Welcome, Sultan! I will post the issues you will face for this turn as soon as possible.

Very well!

We have nine players now, and I believe this is pretty much the ideal number unless the game becomes too complex. Because of that, China is not available anymore and Sign-Up is officially closed for now.

[China's] recognition of Japanese sovereignty over Taiwan.

Well one doesn't see this everyday!

It does look slightly implausible, but the British moves have forced Cixi's hand, and she can always retract that if circumstances change...

I must say I am surprised that three players already decided to gang up against the Ottomans and try and carve their Empire, xD

This is getting really amusing! (specially with the PM's I have received so far)

I'm a little bitter right now, considering I barely had time to scratch my nose.

It doesn't make much sense to me either... but I am not included in the alliance so I do not know what their plans are

I'm sorry Kal. If it makes you feel any better though, I could very well be knocked out of the game before you if I lose the election.

Just to clarify, has the game (and the war mode) been satisfactory for the players so far?

If it's any consolation, the plans were conceived prior to your entrance into the game.

I've liked it.

And yeah, before you even joined the game Britain and I were colluding to destroy Turkey. Tongue

--Part of the Canadian fleet is sent to the Mediterranean.
Canada has a fleet?  In real life there wasn't even a Canadian Navy until 1910.

It has been amusing to see the military moves made in this game.  Quite often their connection to reality has been quite tenuous.

While there was no official navy, I believe there were British vessels stationed in Canada, which is what I was referring to by the use of the word "fleet"

Well, looks like my defeat is inevitable. Playing well, guys Tongue

Anyway, I'm not sure whether we should post war orders in thread, so enemy can see everything beforehand. I mean, for plausibility sense, the opposing side doesn't know my orders and vice versa.
