(Open) OOC 1875 REAL-WORLD RP

[Lesser Tartary]

Cape to Cairo is too Afrocentric (that's a word? nope), the Great Game... eh, sounds like we're talking of Persia, Heart of Darkness is a novel (innit?) or at least a vicky 2 expansion, and the first, no idea dafuq it is, despite being a French student for a year.
I suggest we keep it as 1875, or whatever. Names only sound stupid when they are new, and any old, commonly used name becomes good sounding.

I definitely agree. I like our title. It is simple and lets everyone know what we are doing.

Have a nice day?

[The Grand Republic of Hannover]

Should this RP have a name? I suggest:

La Belle Epoque!
Cape to Cairo
The Great Game
Heart of Darkness

I agree. 1875 Real-World RP is a good title, we should keep it

I agree. 1875 Real-World RP is a good title, we should keep it

And in reference to the series as a whole, we'll say 1870.

Good point. I am not sure why is it called 1875, when the RP was supposed to be called 1870

Good point. I am not sure why is it called 1875, when the RP was supposed to be called 1870

Because the year is know 1875.

True, but I had understood that the title doesn't change with the advancement of time?
But well, 1875 or 1870, it still holds the idea either way

[Alleniana]

We'll call it a new year for each instalment, but series is 1870.

Era of Darkness; dafuq, we're golden aging, bra!
East Vs West; that's been a surprisingly underused theme so far in the RP; there has been rather little racial intolerance, and not a great deal of extra colonisation.
Imperial Ambitions; ehh, could work, but somewhat generic, and as we move into the age of revolutions, less appropriate
Ballad of Death; hmm... sorta, but just too dark for me, at least
Empire or Bust; see IA

Panic of '75?

We just have to make sure Garwall does not hear that.

Keep droning on about how Bosnia will only breed Serbian and Slavic contempt, and that Romania has ludicrously rich mineral deposits, namely gold.

Then again, Austria could see itself on top if it only asked for mining rights and the opening of factories, which was Brissia's modus operandi for most of 1870.

*Pokes head in*

Oh hey, what are we talking about guys?

How to keep Slavs allies and at the same time carve a slice from the Thanksgiving feast.

No comments on "Iron and Blood"?

No comments on "Iron and Blood"?

About a decade overdue.

It's a bit generic; since when has war not involved iron and blood?

[Seljuq Kyiv]

De Brazza's expedition in the Congo?

That's so obscure I can't find a Wikipedia page on it.


Soon, I will be the first Sovereign Nation to have a puppet-thingy under me; Republic of Bolivia

(well, actually, it might be the Republic of Gran Chaco and Mamoré, but still, iss cool!)

Look up Brazzaville, or Republic of Congo, or Congo (Brazzaville).

I saw info about it on various pages, but not a wikipedia dedicated specifically about the trip.

Thoughts on what to do with Bolivia; puppet Republic of Bolivia, or puppet Republic of Gran Chaco and Mamoré, or puppet Republic of Gran Chaco and puppet Republic of Mamoré, or no puppet, just reparations, or genocide and no puppet, or full-retard annex, or partition among nearbies?

And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall,
with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

Puppet and mining rights. Cheaper, and gives you the mines you need.

[Kiruri]

Hey guys, I don't think I'll be able to continue, schedule too full

[Dangelia]

Also guys, I'll be largely inactive for about a week.

And it looks like we need a knew Ottomans.

2 or 1 puppet, and retain Bolivian nationalism, or create a new nationalism?
Also, def. puppet would include mining rights; it'll be nationalized, except nationalized for Chile rather than themselves.
