Recorded History [OOC]

[Alleniana]

There's waaay more to it. The Industrial Revolution isn't just a bunch of railroads and steel mills.

You need the Scientific Method, a commercial base, large amounts of capital within the people's hands, access to international trade, a free, non-mercantilistic economy, a centralized secular government and more.

That's why we call it the "Science and Technical Revolution" in Europe.

Why a secular government? Wouldn't it only matter if said religious institution prohibited science?

Also, abstain497, I'm fine with not curb-stomping Asia ;p

Also, All, mind if I simply do 0-100 in my next post? I was going to do a simple summary of what happened today, but Canadian schools have exams next week...

vote429 ?
Sure, that's fine. We're going very fast, I'll allow considerably leniency at this stage.

By the way, I can't be stuffed updating the date in the OP all that often; the IC's progression will rely mainly on RPer discretion, and the maximum progression limit.

You forgot the Scientific Method, Al.

Religion is created by tradition, and tradition is usually conservative.

I actually managed to get the basic premise of my post up.

G, if you wanna TG me what your ambassador wants to do and say in the Grand City, I'm ready!

[Alleniana]

Oh, yes. Not necessarily that exactly, but logged under "c. Societal understanding and accumulation of innovation and knowledge"

@Liec & G-Tech, if you're going to have dialogue, consider doing a collab post

Basically, my ambassador is going to be like: "word, men of Two Rivers. My masters are disturbed by the final fall of Borizu, and fear dark times ahead. As the only two enlightened people's from here to Timbuktu *glares at expansionist Boemili* we would seek assurances that your folk will work to contain barbarian migrations and defend trade routes as feasibly possible. Civilization must triumph, dawg."

Keep it historical is my opinion.

Speak for your own country, here in Ireland it's known as the Industrial Revolution basically everywhere.

Huh? Ireland, as in, in the British Isles? As in the British Isles about halfway between the USA and Europe?

I'll get the post up soon - but I mean, that's awfully demanding.

Nothing you can contribute?

Send me a TG about how my ambassador would enter political chamber Y and who he would meet with, and I can write up that whole first part the send it to you.

Sorry, but it's just the way history was. Ireland wasn't independent back when the UK decided to move away from the crazy continentals, and towards the crazy Americans. Just the way it was.

Anyway, I'm off for a tad of homework now.

I have to say though, their discovery of how to move continents really changed the world.

...that's a new saying.

Absolutely, and we're sticking to freedom loving miles, as opposed to that fascist system of metres.

Gonna work on my page a bit before posting in IC.

What, no. Melbourne, 'Straya, cunts.
I'm sorry, I don't swear that much, but it's unAustralian to mention the country and not append "cunts", cunts.

Hawaii would be like -11, nearly a whole day behind us. Proof that the USA is heathen, and Europe, at UTC, is centre of the world. And Australia leading all on.

I've watched Australian soap operas for many years, so I'm used to it. I expected more insults to crows though.

No doubt, European super race and all that stuff.

Cor, stone th- no idea what you're talking about.

But, honestly, nobody in Australia watches those. Just as nobody drinks Fosters, or has the Crocodile Dundee accent. (Fun fact: I had a teacher in year 8 who was an extra many years ago with a line of dialogue in Neighbours) We do all ride kangaroos instead of driving cars, though, and drop bears are real.

Nah, not quite super race, just conquerors and genociders of everything.

VCE Global Politics? Please tell me they're not still using that hideous binded textbook by Anna Louise Simpson.

I always wondered why ye apparently enjoy lighting birds on fire.

Well I'll be, it's super popular over here(Home and Away that is). My vision...ruined.

The one thing we haven't genocided is the one that's the most evil of all, mosquitoes(and Australian wildlife).
