The basic idea of the game is that it's the 11th of August 1913, after the Balkan Wars. Bulgaria is devastated after its attempt to invade its former allies. A peace treaty was signed. Southern Dobruja was ceded to the Kingdom of Romania. The London ambassadors conference, of Europe's six Great Powers, settled on the boundaries of the new Kingdom of Albania. Although the danger seems to have passed, pressure is still building up in Europe.
Rules
- Be Respectful
This game cannot keep going if a player is spamming, trolling, pointlessly arguing , insulting another player or god-modding. Any player who is accused with one of the above is warned the first time and kicked out of the thread if it happens again. - Be Realistic
For the most part, stay tied to the real numbers in history. Remember this role-play game provides the means (see Secret Orders) to get anything done, do not try to rush things - sudden changes of government or anything else will not be accepted. Russia will not turn Bolshevik without a revolution or a reason and your leader won't be assassinated all of a sudden. - Activity
Any nation which goes inactive for more than a week without announcing me will be removed from the role-play. If you do that you can rejoin later but it's not guaranteed that your former nation is available. - Time
Each turn will constitute six months. Two turns will complete a year of gameplay. I will conclude every turn with a new post informing all players of the progress done in matter of technology, industry, economy, land gains (if any), etc. Players may request me to end or continue a turn in case things are not progressing at the desired speed. Be aware that ship transport, moving your armies and sending telegrams is not very quick to do. - Secret Orders
Every nation gets to have a secret post (per turn) that only I know of and its results will be announced at the end of the turn. It will help to keep things interesting. To be considered, these must be well-written. I can also ask you a few extra questions if you haven't detailed your post. Spend your secret posts wisely! - Outcomes of Battles
During a war, after a battle is fought, I will post its outcome not to risk a fight over it. Other players can vote the winner of the battle by sending me a telegram along with a reason for that. I will say the final verdict but I would like to know all your decisions. For example, a vote from Japan and Argentina might help me to decide the winning side of a war that was fought in Europe. - Technological Advancement
Every nation has the right to research arms but whether it is capable or not of producing them is up to their industrial capacity and resources (material and human resources). So if you want to produce a new rifle model or want to produce tanks, or a ship, or a Zeppelin you should ask me first and be aware of the time it consumes. And if you want to develop something secretly, why not use a Secret Order? - Be Creative
No matter how happy you are fighting bloody wars against corrupted nations, remember to care about the other things: trade, the life of the Royal family, investments, maybe creating a secret society or alliance. Use valuable details in your post - during a war you may want to describe both the general strategy and the fighting going on in the trench.
