In Memory of the Balance of Power Universe

[Lumine]

I can't even name what was the best part of it, between the rise of Abdul Hamid, William McKinley going full tyrant, Russia falling apart like a house of cards and the utter clusterf___ the players created in Spain, Central Asia and the Balkans.

Even after all these years, I'm just now realizing it was Kal who instigated the terrorist attack in Mecca

I thought it was pretty much known.

It was probably the most infamous act of magnificent bastardy in the first game. Second place goes for Clarence having William Jennings Bryan killed in secret and then avoiding an impeachment trial.

Lumine, I'm curious, how were you perceiving Kalwejt, Kingpoleon, myself, Clarence and all the other players? (I mean their strength, their weaknesses, their level of bastardy). I'm curious considering you were having all the PMs

Lumine?

Tough to say. By memory Kalwejt was probably the most balanced player, particularly excelling at domestic affairs and keeping his country in order (the key to his success, I think). Clarence I also enjoyed a lot, he was always rather imaginative and wasn't afraid at all to think outside the box (you might as well say there was no "box" for him). Windjammer I think had the disadvantage of only responding to crisis rather than taking personal initiative in matters outside of war, but was still pretty skilled at intrigue and war.

I could go on further detail, but I fear I would spoil the playing style of a few former players, lol
