Y'all be beelining steam power but not for ironclads?
Frankly, disappointing.

Heh.

Sumeria tried that.

Just armored ships actually, but it was the cause of the second Unification Wars.

So super weird question, in the year 2975 BCE, current year per the OP. Where is everyone at? I can't find my reference sheet nearby right now, but I'm almost 90% sure my last post started on Nov. 11 and the second part was Nov. 14.

Just trying to get a feel for where everyone is in the year.

I am also at November already, when the Moskva River freezes over.

[Kafair]

Just had a crazy idea. What if I was to just throw some poor sod into Madagascar, and try to unite it. Madagascar eventually becomes real important to trade for both Europeans and Arabs, and establishing a position there would be crazy. probably really hard, but I think do-able. Now I want to try and decide if its worth it at all. Is there anyone else in africa or on madagascar?

Yes let us waste an eight of our countries yearly GDP on a giant, slow moving, lump of metal one could vaguely refer to as "buoyant"

As G said, Sumeria tried something of a similar dint... they sank

[Wysten]

How does the first Journal entry shape up? Anything else should I edit or remove?

[Ah-eh-ioh-uh]

FTFY

It seems Sumeria is also in need of exterminatus.

You're going to be so mad if Marcio decides to introduce the furry fandom to Japan... Hanafuridake probably will too XD

[Ah-eh-ioh-uh]

My fujoshi senses are tingling.

Why do you make me look this trash up?

Nah, he's fooling around with a married woman from Hibernia

Y'all's ain't seen nothin yet. Like, the main reason the Onomichi is having the gender debate centuries early is because I plan to get Marcio a husband or boyfriend XD get wrecked homophobia lol.

Rainbows and Unicorns projected to arrive in Marcio's Japan very soon.

They're all fools anyway, building poorly built ironclads.

Why is the Emperor gay

Reasons :

1. What's a kingdom without both a King and a Queen? Japan will have the advantage of having both of them rolled into one XD

2. FRF. Say it with me friends. It stands for Fabulous, Royal, Fashion. What kind of Emperor dresses in shoddy robes and can't tell a beautiful scepter from an ugly one?

3. When writing the second one I was not intending an innuendo when mentioning "scepters". But now that I notice the potential in it...

4. *all other reasons relating to innuendos having to do with swords, scepters and other objects of similar connotations have been put in one section and censored*

5. *this censorship is for any other kinds of innuendos one might make. All references to equestrian activities, dungeons, dragons, etc. have been deleted by the poster*

6. Emphasizing pointed number 2, closets are fine for Narnia but Japan needs a ruler that goes into a wardrobe for only a BRIEF time. Japan would prefer a ruler that emerges from the closet with at least some modicum of fashion sense as well.

7. If you want to have pride in your nation, you're going to need some PRIDE.

>rulers dressing in shoddy robes
I dunno about you but a huge ass fur robe definitely doesn't look shoddy.
Also don't make me turn myself into RNG and yeet your ruler out of the window and make you watch your empire collapse because you didn't have an heir. Sorry its just my CK2 seeping in.

I don't even know what some of those terms mean but it's cute that you think procreation is the only way to appoint an heir. *swat* what kind of fly was that?

Breaking news: the two Emperors of Japan adopt a child

[Guuj Xaat Kil]

Eh, I prefer procreation with primogeniture, Crusader Kings 2's bullshit tends to push you towards that.

[UniversalCommons]

Curious if any of the scholars are able to escape back to Oak after the battle with the help of black ops?

[Kelmet]

I wonder what it says about us as roleplayers and the culture in which we were raised that the most developed and elaborated-upon relationships of our IC authors are almost invariably their romantic partner. No friends, children, apprentices, coworkers, or comrades.

I should develop Clara’s other relationships a bit more...

Monroe is the outlier.

He has done all of that except a romantic partner.

Besides people like Victor or Luther who are either too caught up in an obsession(Victor) or so damn afraid of commitment because of his immortality, low self esteem, and because constant war has made him cope with opium instead of trying to come out of his shell(Luther).

I guess that's why I deep down want to meet all the authors, because the thought of being alone (save for the few who are lucky enough to have a romantic partner) Forever isn't just a little scary. Its down right terrifying.

Crusader Kings 2's bullshit also leads to numerous bastard dynasties and a half-dozen assassination attempts, but that's life right?

[Plzen]

Tsk. Monarchies and their successions. The only true legitimacy is that of the Parliament and the People. Patrician elective!

The people don't know what they want. That's why we have a group of hereditary titles that govern over various portions of the city's needs.

I mean, he can always just adopt his heir. They don't even have to be a child. Adult adoption has been a common means of family succession for thousands of years in Japan.
