ASOMAF (OOC/AH/Interwar/Dead/Signup)

[Arvenia]

What do you mean?

I mean, if you plan to reset ASOMAF perhaps reset the history for it too? Give a bit more leeway?

Could you give me some examples of such reset? I still like to preserve much of the history, yet wishes to edit it and change some parts. What parts of RP history do you want me to change?

Or should I instead reboot this into a new RP with history ranging from before the Great War?

[Arvenia]

If I would be making a reboot of this RP with a different name, a different premise and a changed/longer history, what things (ideas, events, etc) would you all want in that reboot? Or do you have your own ideas for the reboot regarding it's premise and history?

1) Make the map and playable area smaller. Restrict the world to one continent +. Say North America + Iceland. Or Europe + Asia Minor. A RP using the entire Earth is boring, which leads me to point two,

2) Big app for a boring world. Shorten the app or give more incentives for nations to actually use the information they put on the huge app.

3) "You either play as a US successor state or a non-US country" fundamental flaw of the RP itself. This is a big no from me. OP should pick one, and the applicants should play the other. If the premise of the RP is a broken United States, why the hell would we use a world map and wage wars in Syria? The heck?

1) I would say - that it isn't so much the issue of too large a map - but rather not enough players to occupy it. If we have less players - then it is likely, it be better to concentrate us all in a singular location.

I agree, that the idea of ASOMAF could work at that. Namely, what would have happened without Roosevelt. Granted - you have to think, what do you want. A political map centered on the US or on the entire world. That is the core feature that might need answering - then we can see, how it might be best to organize such a thing.

[Arvenia]

How about having numbered nations instead of custom nations? Or probably a RP set in a fictional Earth-like world?

If we were to have a RP set in North America (and even rest of the Americas), would such RP be set in the 20th century or the 21st century? If a 20th century RP, then where should the POD be set?

About that part without Roosevelt, that's very ideal. I find it very ideal, like if the US dissolved earlier. I find it really great.

Now about what RPs are next, there might be things to change and add:

• ASOMAF could be rebooted under a different title and a premise inspired by your post below. The Great Depression isn't central and WW2 is still non-existent. Also, the reboot could have numbered nations instead if we were to solve the issue regarding a split US.
• Anno 2054 might be the same, but I plan to give it a long backstory in the synopsis and also try to find a new nation to play as. It would also need a Game Moderator and an International Entity with possible assistance from Cobalt.
• A Fictional World RP would be in need of worldbuilding and lore, yet I wishes it to be PMT and take place in 2020.
• An RP set in the Americas would either take place in the 20th century or the 21st century.
• An Alternate History RP set in a world war with steampunk or dieselpunk, different nations and even a POD somewhere in the 19th century.
• Possibly a space RP, but that isn't so much to go into.

Anyway, let me know by tomorrow so that I can create a new RP. Tell me which one of the RPs above I should do (plus optionally tell me what you think about each of these RPs) and give me some advice on solving certain issues, creating premise and adding certain features.

[Arvenia]

I am briefly active here in the morning tomorrow, but after 12:30 (7:30 AM), I will check back and be more active. Then I am active on Saturday. On Sunday, I am inactive. From March 25th to March 31st, I could be active.

Eventually, at the beginning of April, I could be more active. See, I am busy IRL too. Got school work and limited WiFi at home. Godspeed, everyone.

I also hope this thread can finally rest in peace once a new RP is made.

On what planet will we ever get enough active and dedicated RP'ers to fill the Earth?

I vote on Anno 2054.

[Dragos Bee]

I would prefer a game I can play the Philippines in, so ASOMAF.

[Arvenia]

I would prefer a game I can play the Philippines in, so ASOMAF.

We will get a new RP in time, but I still lack ideas and need some of your ideas. I would like to reboot "Anno 2054", but to reboot ASOMAF, I need help with solving the issue regarding a split US without FDR. I wonder if anyone can tell me how the US would have split without Roosevelt and when. I need a POD for that reboot, as well as a way to solve issues with the old RP before making it.

But on "Anno 2054", you can still play as the Philippines. As the story goes, "Anno 2054" is where the world have briefly collapsed following a series of events from the 2010s up to the 2040s. The Philippines is among the nations affected by these events and then collapsed before completely recovering years later. As of 2054 (in that RP), the world has some new nations, with the Philippines likely to have been politically reorganized and territorially enlarged.

Hmm, that might work; I like it.

As for the US splitting without FDR, does the US have to split in the Great Depression?

It would be possible, but I wonder if there are other scenarios for such split.

[The Frozen Forest]

I vote ASOMAF, i never really got to get my great Deseret Republic going, sadly.

[Dragos Bee]

I mean, just do an earlier Alternate History where the Constitution wasn't adopted and the Articles of Confederation slowly lost their force?

[Arvenia]

That's good, but I still want the Great War (WW1) and the Soviet Union (USSR) to exist like IRL.

So, with that, should I reboot ASOMAF with either custom (player-made) nations or numbered (OP-made) nations? I did come up with a scenario where Shays' Rebellion succeeded, turning the US into a confederacy and letting it exist for a brief time before collapsing following the War of 1812.

Both are good, but with numbered nations, you can run those without players or those whose players left as NPCs basically, numbered nations mean you have a ready-made but adaptable cast.

So numbered nations are good then?

So numbered nations are good then?

Yeah.

[Arvenia]

Yeah.

Okay. Also, regarding the split of the US, I did came up with other possible scenarios such as if Texas never joined the US upon independence from Texas and if the US split up following an alternate version of the American Civil War. I will set up a discussion thread regarding the reboot ASAP and so we can discuss the premise, the POD and the nations involved. Plus, the reboot will be subject to name change so it would be associated with the Great Depression.

Major Foreign Issues:

History: In 1929, the Depression hit Greece rather hard; exacerbating the previous instability of the 1920s. As the country spiralled into complete collapse, the Military stepped in in January of 1930, and Royalist General Ioannis Metaxas - a war hero from the Greco-Turkish War of 1897, the Balkan Wars and WWI, formed a new government. After declaring martial law, and purging the Republicans from the Government (1930 - 1932), he invited King George II (ruled: 1922 -1924) back from exile; and the Monarchy was reinstated. Metaxas encouraged self-sufficiency among the Greeks; while also clamping down on subversive elements: Liberals and Communists. In International Affairs, Metaxas kept a low profile; though he was certain to align Greece closely with the Germany (both Metaxas and the King were hardcore Germanophiles) - purchasing German military equipment, and signing a treaty of friendship with the Reich. The remainder of the 1930s and the 1940s was a time of relative peace and stability in Greece, as foreign investment (especially from Germany) helped the country a great deal; and Greece's Military was supplied by the Reich.

In 1947 AD, however, King George II died; and his younger brother Paul ascended to the throne. Due to personal rivalries with Metaxas, King Paul dismissed Metaxas in an incredibly rude manner, and replaced him with another Military Officer: Alexandros Papagos. This caused fissures within the Greek Government, between those who supported Metaxas and those who supported Paul and Papagos. This growing cleavage between Metaxists and Paulists would only grow in the coming years; and consumed with partisan power struggles; Greece's right-wing regime would allow the Communist and Liberal factions in Greece to slowly start cropping their heads up again. In 1949, Papagos arranged with Britain that they would hand Cyprus over to Greece; and in return, Greece would begin to pull back from the German Reich. Britain agreed to this, and come 1950, Cyprus was in Greek hands, and many of the arms treaties with Germany were torn up. Needless to say, the Reich did not take this well, and so the foreign cash dried up, and Greece began to fall on hard times. Communist terrorist cells and calls for democractic revolution from Liberals rang out throughout the country; as the economy fell back into hard times. Many on the Right, pined for "good old days" of Metaxas.

In 1952, Papagos would be assassinated by a Communist terrorist cell ; and it would come time for King Paul to select another Prime Minister. It is during this time, that the more Liberal factions began to organize massive demonstrations and street protests; demanding the King restore democratic elections and reopen the Parliament. The British and other Democratic forces abroad made similar demands. The country was paralyzed. However, just when it seemed the spineless King would give in; another Military Coup saved the day. This coup was led by the disgraced Metaxas, who quashed the protests ruthlessly and then surrounded the Palace (for the King's safety, of course). In 1953, after confirming Metaxas as Prime Minister, King Paul abdicated the Throne,leaving his young son Constantine II as King of Greece; and Metaxas as Regent.

Regent Metaxas proceeded to quickly patch things up with the Germans, and while some foreign investment did return, and military cooperation was restored; things were not quite what they used to be. The Red terrorism continued, and the shrieks for democracy were only growing louder. By 1956, feeling himself old (Metaxas was 85 by this time), the Regent appointed the Royal Committee for Public Safety and staffed it with capable Military Officers and loyal allies; so as to provide for the running of the State when he passed. This was rather fortuitous, as in 1958, the great General passed away; and the Regency was handed over to Georgios Papadopoulos, a young and capable officer who had shown his mettle in dealing with the Communists. In 1959, the 19 year old King assumed his full Monarchial Powers; as he was now in his majority; and the Regency was abolished. King Constantine II still kept Papadopoulos on as Prime Minister though, and the RCPS (Royal Committee of Public Safety) as well.

By 1964, the problems plaguing Greece since 1947 were only escalating; the terrorism, riots and general instability were only getting worse. Many wonder if it is only a matter of time before Greece should swing in a totally different direction.

Is it too late for me to be Greece? I'm still working on the app. I at least have my history done. Its half decent, I think.

I think so. A new RP can not be made by me until at least Monday, since I am very busy and probably inactive this week due to limited WiFi at home and no school during Easter.
