History of Man III (OOC, Always Open)

[The Orson Empire]

I am willing to restart so long as we do not start in prehistoric times.

[The Orson Empire]

I personally would like to start at the time that the Greeks were in their heyday of civilization if this restarts. If you go all the way back to Egypt there werent as many civilizations.

But going back to 2,000 BC would let us set out the basics for our civilizations while in 500 BC we could all care more about war/diplomacy/inventing shiz.

I like this idea.

I just need to copy it from old IC.

I guess, if it went by fast. (Setting basics is only fun for a little while.)
Maybe a time skip once we've all set up shop?

The poll is not restart now, it is restart in the nearish, foreseeable future. It's possible for us to, say, play until 2000 AD and then restart.

It seems like people are switching to no just because yes is winning >.> that's not really the point of the poll

I would prefer going to the sort of 1000-500 BC period. Inventing fire and agriculture is no fun, but nor is being thrown into a citystate with kings and architecture premade.

[The Orson Empire]

We're just counting current, past(?), or future members of HoM for the poll.

EDIT: If past members are still being counted, then restart is still winning, with 9 to 7.

Changed to No. Like on one hand, I wanna see this one continue, but at the same time I'd like to restart. Too bad we can't have two alliterations run at the same time.

I would really rather restart then continue with this iteration. This iteration is broken in my opinion. Their is very little activity and we rushed into WWI rather then planning it out ahead of time.

Yeah, 1000 BCE seems like a good compromise.

No. I would rather restart now then play until 2000 AD. I don't think this RP will last that long.

Yeah, that was too boring. I don't want to see a flood of posts about Mammoth hunting again... O-O

I was thinking 100 y/d for 2000 BC and then slow it down to 50 y/d once we reached 500 BC.

I'd be fine with that.

It's broken a bit, plus with the lack of activity, WW1 is going to drag on until 2000...

Agreed. Stuff can be backdated.

[The Orson Empire]

Anyway, I think it is safe to say that I do not plan to start in Russia ever again, unless I have no choice and literally everything else is taken. I made a terrible mistake by choosing to start in Russia.

This is fine with me.

I'm for a restart now, 2000 is a long way away at the current rate of progression.

[Alleniana]

I gave 2000 AD as an example; depending on what you all want, we could maybe do it until WWI ends, or until 1950 AD, or 2014 AD, etc.

End of WWI is ok, although I'd prefer now.

We may as well restart after WW1, as it is taking a while and god knows how long it will take for WW2 or even 3, if it happens, to end.

Though I like the sound of this.

Nothing is really coming of this war. Speaking of which, I should go invade turkmenistan (as Persia). Away!

To be quite honest, I think this war won't change anything, except for maybe a few provinces being exchanged between nations. It's disappointing, really.

This. Also, lots of butthurt.

Yeah. This was not the Great War that I expected... :/

Indeed. I'm still having Argentia call it "The Pathetic War."

@Aldelxane, I'm also Persia now, so I will invade Ukrainian turkmenistan because the new sultan wants to expand for the glory of Jallah!

Maybe the reason it didnt turn out well was that you guys had no real reason to go to war. You need a random event like the assassination of Franz-Joseph instead of pushing history towards world war on purpose.

Edit: And the event should have a valid reason, like the movement of Serbian independence

Go back about 40 pages of OOC and I made a long detailed analysis (not actually that long. It was quite lacking tbh) of why WWI started and why our great war would not be a great war. Turns out I was right.

I can't find it.
