AWRP: Building a better Roleplay (Interest check)

[Constaniana]

Sweet Jesus, everyone wants an English royal. I'm going to let one member of the Royal family escape. Uno. It'd be unlikely that the entire royal line could escape both the Parliamentarians and the Swedish army, and it'd damage my backstory.

So work it out, Old Tyrannia, Constaniana, and Benutanairan.

Well how about if I change Prince Rupert' story so he doesn't return to England, like the message telling him to come back is lost or he doesn't trust it, thinks it's a roundhead trap? But if I can't have Prince Rupert, I'll just settle for having a prominent Royalist nobleman lead the exodus to Nova Britannia. Does it have to be a real nobleman, or can I just make one up?

[Constaniana]

It seems the British nobility, and quite a few peasants, fled just about everywhere during the diaspora. Southeast Asia, Canada, Africa. All of which ended up founding nations.

This sounds oddly like the origins of the Holy Britannian Empire in Code Geass... I like it

[Mishmahig]

In the likely event of a World War, and assuming the Anglo-Scandinavian Union is on the losing side, perhaps Britain could end up this reality's Israel, a homeland for the British at the expense of the natives.

Yeah, I realize that a lot of people used England as a backstory, and my nation is giving them problems addressing that, but seriously, there have to be some limits. I can't have every royal/noble escape, nor every peasant, and it'd be unlikely that they could. -___-

Anyways. I'll let James II escape. Nova Britannia or w/e it is can have a royalist Duke, and OT can have the Scottish Jacobites. The one in Africa can have James II. All good?

[Lolzieristan]

Looks like this thread just exploded...anything big happen?
More importantly, has anyone claimed Russia other than me?

I think someone claimed far eastern Siberia, but they haven't posted at all besides their claim. I think you're fine. Would you mind reposting your claim?

Try and give some of them the descendants of the Irish or Welsh royalty. There are rumoured to be some descendants of Owain Glyndwr around even today, although Llywelyn ein Llyw Olaf didn't have any grandchildren that we know of (probably some illegitimate kids), because the King of ENgland at the time put his daughter in a convent.

Not sure why but a nobleman sounds more interesting to me. Could cause more tension and such in leadership in the beginning, and even continually, though you may not want that.

[Lolzieristan]

Hasnyone claimed Russia yet? I might take it and make it a shaky democratic nation. In this world, the assassination of Alexander II sparked a popular insurrection which caused the majority of the country to become democratic. The infighting would make my country extremely weak, leaving it open to invasion from Poland, China, etc etc...

Not a major backstory or anything. In fact, barely anything.
But I'm starting work on the actual history and everything now that it seems no one's contesting me.
Also, that fellow can have Eastern Siberia. He can be the remnants of the Empire.

I would very much prefer to see a constitutional monarchy, as that is far more likely and is actually what was intended with the various Russian revolts against the Tsar.

Yeah, I kinda like the idea too. I'm fine with having a Royalist duke lead his group of loyal Royalists to Canada, renaming it Nova Britannia and establishing an absolute Monarchy, doing away with the previous colonial government. So the escaping royalists won't populate all of Nova Britannia, they'll be more of a ruling class.

[Kamchatkalia]

It seems this thread explodes. Every. Fricking. Day.

Í was looking back, and I think, all of guys have convinced me, that I should play as the Italian Papal Union. It would be interesting, going to have to brush up on my Italian History though, but I'll live.

So basically, I'm already at a state of barely controlled war with three nations, a tense peace with a fourth, and a wary alliance with a fifth. That doesn't sound good. ;_;

[Madredia]

I could offer you guys a solution. How about if an English royal with multiple children had them sent out of Britain at a young age and they managed to reach different nations. Im jus taking a shot in the dark here, because until all these disputes are resolved, we'll never get anywhere.

Aww I'm sorry Well I don't think Nova Britannia would declare war on you for now, or at least up to this point, as they would have focused their efforts on conquering and subjugating as much territory as they could.

[Boriem]

Well, I personally intend for the current ruling dynasty to be the Stuarts, with the Hapsburgs never rising to power, and instead, the Stuarts rise due to a convenient marriage.

Of course, Scotland was lost to Scandinavia and the Stuarts become the rulers of Austria.

If this is fine with Scandinavia, of course.

As long as this happens outside of the English Civil Wars, it's fine.

I'm conflicted. On one hand, I don't like the way nations are pre-disposed now, but on the other hand, I'm barely restraining glee at the thought of so many nations falling into place like jigsaw pieces. I mean, the Anglo-Scanian Union can change a ton of things. Has changed a ton of things, providing a convenient way for other nations to exist and alter themselves.

A question for Anglo-Scania is who it will support during the inevitable Austro-Prussian War.

It would have been even better if you'd ended up having all the papal states in France as well like the places around Avignon.

Also, I think I have the most interesting monarch.

That's a question for the IC thread, whenever Garwall gets around to making an official OOC and IC thread.

I have a Scotsman reigning over a German nation...

He's also comparable to Vlad the Impaler.

I doubt he or she is more interesting than the Sinobriton monarch, or my Afghan monarch.

[Costa Fiero]

I beg to differ.

Is yours the illegitimate son of the brother of the war hero who created the state in the first place?

[Boriem]

Again. Scottish Impaler.

[Mishmahig]

I beg to differ.

Is yours the illegitimate son of the brother of the war hero who created the state in the first place?

No, but he's the descendant of two, and possibly three royal bloodlines. Nbd, though.

Swedish Empire, Kingdom of Norway, and claim to the English throne through an illegitimate son of Charles II.
