Kings, Crowns, and Decorum (OOC OPEN)

CURRENT DATE: | JANUARY 1, 1400 - JANUARY 7, 1400 |

Welcome to Kings, Crowns, and Decorum. We're a PT2M roleplay centered around the 15th century, where you, the player, can navigate the complex and intense diplomatic and economic challenges of managing a feudal kingdom. Engage in battle, forge alliances, draft treaties, trade goods, all in Kings, Crowns, and Decorum.

Alright, now that you know what our topic is, it's time to get the plot straight. It's January 1400, and you're about to take control of the nation of your choice. It's the dawn of a new century, and the last year has been full of turmoil. Will you lead your nation to world dominance, battling anyone who dares cock an eye at you? Or will you engage in trade with far-off nations, becoming rich and wealthy? From this point on, you don't read history. You make it.

PLEASE READ

Heyo! Me here. If you're new to RP, here's a coupla tips that ought to help you through this adventure. This is required unless I say otherwise.

How to RP

Well, the title is pretty straightforward. Alright, let's see. Hmmmm.....

Perfect!

Okay. You're a young woman, taking a stroll along your neighborhood street when suddenly, a man pops up behind you! Oh no! He has a gun! Well, most newcomers to RP would usually get stuck on the first sentence. So let's get to the tips.

One of the most frustrating things about RP is how time-consuming it is. Usually, P2TM rps require at least a paragraph or two to properly Rp, and in the OP it usually says "no one-liners". A one-liner would be something like this:

"I hit the man in the face, take his gun, and shoot him dead and then I walk home."

No. Just no. You don't want to do this. In order to right a detailed, nicely-written RP post, it takes a while. Getting a cramp in your hand from typing? Good. Hard work does that. Sure, it might take an hour, but that's the beauty of RP. Learn some patience, and you'll be good to go.


Write out the details you usually wouldn't care about. Did your character accidentally bite their tongue while chewing gum? Write it! Do your shoes have red stripes on them? Awesome! When RPing, you have to incorporate details. Take this bit for example.

"I woke up and got out of bed. I walked into the kitchen and made some scrambled eggs. I ate them. Then I took a shower. Then I got dressed. Then I went outisde, got in my car, and went to work."

Not very much substance, right? Take this improved version.

"I woke up, a bit groggy from last night's party. But it was Monday, so I had to go to work. I didn't bother making my bed, and I strolled into the kitchen without a care in the world. What sounds good for breakfast? I thought. MmMmMmM. Scrambled eggs... I got a pan, and I cracked two eggs onto it. The sweet aroma of the sizzling eggs filled the small house. Ah, what a wonderful time to be alive. Once the eggs were finished, I sat down and ate them. Slowly. Ever so slowly. They were delicious! I quickly washed up the plate and fork, and then went into the bathroom. I undressed myself from my pajamas, and hopped into the shower. Baaah! Hot water! I warmed up to it after a while, and it was pretty relaxing. When I was done, I got out. I searched through my closet, and found a nice brown polo shirt to put on. I put on some khakis, and was ready to go! I went out in the hall and put on some Timberlands. Then, I went outside and got into my brand new, jet-black Land Rover. I drove to work, happy with my morning."

See? Much, much better. Would you rather have a plain, bland sentence, or a richly-detailed paragraph? I'd choose the latter, but I dunno about you.


Okay, now you should know the basics. This tab will be a list of links you could go to if you'd like to learn more! And remember, you can always contact me via TG.

Admins:
Serbia-Macebonia (OP)
Pilipinas and Malaya (Co-OP)
Two more Co-OP slots will be filled if RP gains enough traction.

If you read this, put "Crowns" in the "Other" section of your app.



Let's set some ground rules here, shall we?

Rules

1. No metagaming, godmodding, and the like. If you've participated in RPs before, you know what we're talking about. Newbies, go here or here

2. OP's and Co-OP's word is final. You can argue, and if determined an OP is overreaching I'll step in. Obey or you get the ban hammah!

3. Be realistic. No, you can't have a million men in your army. It's 1400. Come on, dumbass. But at the same time, don't underestimate anything.

4. Your posts may be as long as you'd like, as long as they're more than a paragraph or so.

5. No magic, no fairies, none of it. Remember what I said about being realistic? Keep that in mind. Always.

6. Respect your fellow players. If you have a problem with someone, keep it civil and don't let it spill over ICly.

7. NO IMAGINARY COUNTRIES. Do at least some research to find a nation to play. A good resource would be this

8. Well, I think that's about it for now. Adios from the Rules Department! If you read this, put "and Decorum" in the "Other" section of your app.

Since I assume you're looking for players to play monarchs and not as semi-independent dukes or other powerful nobles, I'd like to reserve the Crown of Castille/Kingdoms of Castille and Leon

Solid app, although I'm gonna ask you to reread the OP thoroughly. There's a bit in the "Other" section you missed. ;) Overall, great app! Accepted once you complete the above.

I'm gonna ask this here so anyone else with the same question I have can see the answer.

Can one play independent counties/duchies? Also, if wanted, can one play as the vassal of another player?

NS Nation Name: Polska-Lietuva (Poli-Kali, aka Poland-Kaliningrad)
Nation Name: Poland-Lithuania
King/Queen: (If you can't find anything online, contact me and we'll figure something out) King Władysław II Jagiełło
Map: (No map yet, but the territorial extent of Poland-Lithuania at 1400 would be as follows:)
Greater Poland, Pomeranian, Kuyavian-Pomeranian, Łódź, Silesian, Lesser Poland, Subcarpathian, Świętokrzyskie, Lublin, *[Warmian-Masurian, Kaliningrad, Marijampoles,] Podlaskie, Modern day Lithuania, Modern day Latvia, Modern Day Belarus, L'viv, Volyn, Ivano-Frankivs'k, Ternopil, Rivne, Khmel nyts kyy, Vinnytsya, Zhytomyr, Kiev, Cherkasy, Kirovhrad, Chernihiv, Mykolayiv, Dnipropetrovs'k, Poltava, Sumy, **[Åland, Gotland,] ***[Nordjylland, Midtjylland, Hovedstaden, Sjaælland, Eysturoyar]

*This area is Prussia, and while technically a part of Poland-Lithuania, is highly disputed over.

**Gained in war with Sweden to secure dominance over the Baltic Sea

***Gained in war with Denmark to allow access to Atlantic and beyond

Capital City: Kraków
Royal House: (Habsburg, Hohenzollern, etc. Again, if you can't find anything, contact me) Jagellonian
Primary Religion: (Catholic, Islam, Buddhism, etc) Roman Catholic
Military Status
Army: (ex. manpower, training quality, etc) *20,500 men, including Towarzysz Cavalry and Winged Hussars. Polish and Lithuanian armies are highly trained and disciplined, one of the strongest land armies. Cossack and Ruthenian forces (roughly 1/4 of total manpower) were much more disorganized and rowdy, far less competent and disciplined.
Navy: (Same as above) Total of 39 ships (number to grow during RP), 1,800 men. A small and not very developed Navy, as little priority has been placed on it. As Poland-Lithuania gains colonial acquisitions, it will bolster and train up its Navy. It will never become a rival of Britain or France's Navy, but it will be able to hold it's own and supply/defend the Empire.
Total Manpower: 22,300 men
*I'm very open to haggling with these numbers, since I really didn't know where to go with them :P
Trade Companies (If any): N/A (may make one later)
Colonial Ambitions (If any):
Trinidad and Tobago, Cameroon, Liberia, Sri Lanka, Southern tip of India, [Kerala and Tamil Nadu] *Maharashtra, Taiwan, Palau, **Gunangdong, Hong Kong, Macao, Hainan, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jaingxe, Shanghai, Anhui, Jiangsu.

*Maharastra (and really the rest of the Indian claims) are a special case. In my lore, Britain and Poland-Lithuania were on very good terms, and split India between them. Maharashtra is technically governed by both, but Poland has priority.

**These were Chinese concessions gained after the Opium Wars, and are only mentioned in case we get that far in time.



Notes: I am open to haggling my mainland claims if it's too expansive, but I'd very much like to own the land I mentioned. Feel free to shoot me a telegram should you need clarification on anything.

Additionally, I'd suggest maybe having the RP as 1500 or 1600 rather than 1400? I only say this because 1492 was Mr Columbus's voyage, and we seem to be able to possess colonies.

Greater Poland, Pomeranian, Kuyavian-Pomeranian, Łódź, Silesian, Lesser Poland, Subcarpathian, Świętokrzyskie, Lublin, *[Warmian-Masurian, Kaliningrad, Marijampoles,] Podlaskie, Modern day Lithuania, Modern day Latvia, Modern Day Belarus, L'viv, Volyn, Ivano-Frankivs'k, Ternopil, Rivne, Khmel nyts kyy, Vinnytsya, Zhytomyr, Kiev, Cherkasy, Kirovhrad, Chernihiv, Mykolayiv, Dnipropetrovs'k, Poltava, Sumy, **[Åland, Gotland,] ***[Nordjylland, Midtjylland, Hovedstaden, Sjaælland, Eysturoyar]

*This area is Prussia, and while technically a part of Poland-Lithuania, is highly disputed over.

**Gained in war with Sweden to secure dominance over the Baltic Sea

***Gained in war with Denmark to allow access to Atlantic and beyond

Capital City: Kraków
Royal House: (Habsburg, Hohenzollern, etc. Again, if you can't find anything, contact me) Jagellonian
Primary Religion: (Catholic, Islam, Buddhism, etc) Roman Catholic
Military Status
Army: (ex. manpower, training quality, etc) *20,500 men, including Towarzysz Cavalry and Winged Hussars. Polish and Lithuanian armies are highly trained and disciplined, one of the strongest land armies. Cossack and Ruthenian forces (roughly 1/4 of total manpower) were much more disorganized and rowdy, far less competent and disciplined.
Navy: (Same as above) Total of 39 ships (number to grow during RP), 1,800 men. A small and not very developed Navy, as little priority has been placed on it. As Poland-Lithuania gains colonial acquisitions, it will bolster and train up its Navy. It will never become a rival of Britain or France's Navy, but it will be able to hold it's own and supply/defend the Empire.
Total Manpower: 22,300 men
*I'm very open to haggling with these numbers, since I really didn't know where to go with them :P
Trade Companies (If any): N/A (may make one later)
Colonial Ambitions (If any):
Trinidad and Tobago, Cameroon, Liberia, Sri Lanka, Southern tip of India, [Kerala and Tamil Nadu] *Maharashtra, Taiwan, Palau, **Gunangdong, Hong Kong, Macao, Hainan, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jaingxe, Shanghai, Anhui, Jiangsu.

*Maharastra (and really the rest of the Indian claims) are a special case. In my lore, Britain and Poland-Lithuania were on very good terms, and split India between them. Maharashtra is technically governed by both, but Poland has priority.

**These were Chinese concessions gained after the Opium Wars, and are only mentioned in case we get that far in time.



Notes: I am open to haggling my mainland claims if it's too expansive, but I'd very much like to own the land I mentioned. Feel free to shoot me a telegram should you need clarification on anything.

Additionally, I'd suggest maybe having the RP as 1500 or 1600 rather than 1400? I only say this because 1492 was Mr Columbus's voyage, and we seem to be able to possess colonies.

Well, the Poland-Lithuanian Commonwealth is free.

The PLC wasn't officially formed until the Union of Lublin in 1569. I believe in 1400 Poland and Lithuania were working together under a 'union,' but they were still separate kingdoms at the time.
