Main countries would be Eurocentric, with mayeb some American influence but mostly focusing on the buildup to WWII but with an AH vibe and giving players a map that is real-time with what they conduct.

Posting would be done as frequently as they wanted, but movements of military units would take place on a cycle, so once everyone has conducted their business we rotate the cycle forward a week. Or 3 days, still deciding.

Military engine in progress, but individual ships would be involved, land units grouped in Division level formations to ensure the map doesn't get too saturated.

Would focus on group play and player-formulated strategies, as seen with the introduction on NSG I noted that groups of players help mitigate inactivity, etc.

Interested, anyone?


That actually sounds really interesting. Count me in.

So for the AH team RP here is the main tenets:

Every team must have the core positions filled:
  • Army Liaison
  • Navy Liaison
  • Air Force Liaison
  • Economic Liaison
  • Diplomatic Liaison
  • Political Liaison
  • Deputy Administrator
  • Head Administrator

Each of those are obviously responsible for running the nation`s affairs. The Head Administrator is considered the Head of State, the Political Liaison represents all facets and branches of government, and the diplomatic liaison is the chief negotiator and foreign affairs correspondent. Economic Liaison is responsible for ensuring trade ties and businesses are kept in hand, ensuring legislation is kept to an level where business can thrive. The military folks are pretty self-explanatory.

Going to move at a pace of every cycle representing 3 days. A cycle in real life, with 5 people dedicated to carrying out the daily operations, as well as the Deputy Administrator / Head Administrator able to make policies shifts will ensure that inactivity or ghosts can be mitigated by a larger group.

The military will be responsible for researching and presenting their numerical findings to justify their force, however at the completion of this they may organize it as they so wish. In addition to this, I want to know the popular opinion on including colonies, as this was mean to be Eurocentric, however with such large Empires this may not be able to be maintained, and with so many people it could b expanded.

Any input HRPG2?

Unless a single person can take multiple posts, there will be problems with this system.
We won't have that many players to fill up enough nations. One or two, maybe.

I think it might be better to have templates of positions to choose from. e.g. you can have:
- Head
- Internal
- Foregin
or
- Head
- Deputy
- Administrative
- Diplomatic
- Military
or
- Head
- Economic
- Political
- Foreign

etc.

I made team RP's before. It was for the cold war actually. I had it as:
- Head
- Internal
- External

Nah, son. Britain was all like "yo, why my colonies be all uppity an' shit?!" And Lord Durham laid it straight: "they be wantin' legislation with representation, dawg."

We were working on an RP where France won the Seven Years' War. It wonder if it would be possible to create a monarchist US in that. I mean, it's debatable whether France and Spain could hold onto their posessions in North America for too long, and I suppose it's possible that their breakaway colonies would create a monarchist confederation or something.

Eh, you're probably right.

I wonder if it would be possible to do an AH where the US doesn't break away violently, but rather peacefully and remains monarchist and allied with Britain (at least initially). That could be interesting.

As a Dominion? That's pretty much my ideal timeline. :P

That or an Imperial Federation, but that's not what would have happened ITTL. My idea was mostly that Washington accepts the Crown he was offered, after a change in some battle in the WoI, perhaps Yorktown or something I don't really know enough about Yankish history, whereby the American militia fails miserably and he loses hope in it, instead places his lot in with the European idea of what an army should be etc. Basically, George Washington becomes King George, first of his name, of the Kingdom (and later, Empire) of America (or Columbia or something archaic).

This is beginning to look like it could be something really awesome, you know. We really should go somewhere with this at some point.
