1900 : Alternative Divergence

OOC THREAD


CURRENT ANNOUNCEMENTS





Image

“Men make History, but not at the time he wishes.”

– Karl Marx__________________________________


But for the sake of argument, what if we could?

Be it a point of divergence or a whole new nation, what if we could make history EXACTLY at the point that we wish?





Hello and welcome to Another Alternative Divergence, an AH/AW RP where the world is your oyster to do whatever you wish. For the sake of continuity, the time now is 1900C.E., and nations are teetering on the edge of a world war. What would be your vision of a world shaped by the nation that you call your own?





Again, for the sake of continuity, we should set a few ground rules.

  • All apps need a point of start and build-up – Whether you start from the stone age and build it up to 1900 or simply change a few things here and there from the 1800’s is up to you, but I would like for all nations to have an interesting history behind it… to prove you are capable AH/AW Rper.
  • All nations MUST be somewhat original – Let’s try to be a bit more creative than having Great Britain at all its glory. You can keep the name and title, but you MUST have some degree of DIFFERENCE between your nation and the IRL ones.
  • Everything can be excused with reason – I am willing to let anything be possible as long as it is stated clearly in the app with full explanation as to why it has come to be for your nation. … Similarly, I will accept NOTHING without a proper explanation.

Great! Just wanted to make sure that it made sense with the Roman player's history.

Well, I'm the Roman player technically, but no one has ever changed ancient Roman history before.

If you are talking about the breakaway Roman state from the Crisis of the Third Century, that would be pretty difficult to achieve.

Hey, would it be possible to ask the Aztek player to redraw his borders a tad? Just because right now they're rather irking and problematic in North America in particular.

Oh, hey, this is back. As promised, I'm gonna try to join this - if that's alright? I'll make a map for my reservation later, but hopefully, it should be okay in description for now.

Reservation

Nation Name: The Kingdom of Prussia (Königreich Preußen) (“Greater Prussia”)
Territory: Prussia/Germany, some southern bits off of Denmark, Kaliningrad Oblast/Northern and Western Poland, Czechia/The Czech Republic and Austria. Reference Map.

Ooh! I'll have to see if I have enough time for this, but hopefully I will.
The United Settlements of Sitka - the land of friendly vampires, camaraderie, and cloudberry pie
A small corner of the world in 1872. Set in the world of the video game 80 Days, with supernatural beings mixed in. Several factbooks need to be redone.
I'm socially awkward sometimes, and bad at keeping up with things due to life's hecticness, so I might not always be the best at roleplays etc.
The Times: Englishman Phileas Fogg departs London, having bet £20,000 that he can circumnavigate the globe in 80 days.
Local News: Karl Marx visits Sitka, is "impressed".

It looks alright to me, so you can consider it partially accepted.

What I mean by that is that I'm not exactly familiar with the region, so one of my objectives here is to make sure that another nation can exist in the area, in the place you're leaving empty in the Eastern US.

So I'll have to ask another member of the board first, but until then, it will be reserved for you.

Added a map to my reservation post that should generally show what I desire for my borders. It's a bit messy, though - might be bigger/smaller than I intended cause I'm not really good at filling in borders? So, please, let me know if anything needs to be cut off or added or something.

Of course, it's alright for you to join, but I am little confused about the idea that you're trying to do here. A Prussia that has conquered Germany Austria and Bohemia without abandoning its Prussian identity in favor of Pan-Germanism?

But yeah, this is the general idea.
