[BoP: 1910] Signups

[Catholic]

With so many spiders, who makes the web?

Welcome to Balance of Power: 1910. Never has the European continent been such a powder keg waiting for a match. With diverging interests over Germany, a French bitterness over Alsace-Lorraine, interfering powers playing the instability in the Balkans, and a global colonial game, war is almost a certainty. Add an intricate web of alliances, and what will result?

Spoiler: Map

In order to make sure this game lasts, I'm instituting an eight-player cap. If I get a dedicated co-host, I'll extend that to 12. This will be a Europe-focused game, although I do intend to have a world map (colonialism is, obviously, important). Previous successful and dedicated hosts will get priority, and then experienced players. I hate to effectively shut new players out, but I'm inspired by Pixel's success and want to create a game that lasts.

Oooooh!

OK, I'll do this properly now since I was dead tired on night shift last night and didn't catch the proper code.

Cool era. It would have been great to have at least some draft of game's mechanisms. Also, how close is this to the actual launch as far as preparations are concerned?

Lots of focus on culture, instability, policies, and diplomacy; far less focus on trade. Battle inter-turns will be a thing, including ****ty maps I will draw up a la 1700. Preparations are distant - I have finals next week and then i am taking a train trip across the USA. Since the train trip entails twenty-four hour periods on a train, I will have ample time to finish. I will return from train trip on June 20th, which means I'm looking at a start date of June 21st.

As I've never really participated in a BoP (not on Taleworlds at least) I'll have Bulgaria, if you wouldn't mind.

You have work till June 20th and plan to start on the 21st? Impressive. Most impressive.

Dibs on Austria-Hungary as long as the game does not start before the mid-September.

The Netherlands and Romania are not valid entries, please see OP for country list. Everyone is applying for the same three nations, so I need all three picks to be valid options, else you probably can't play.

Last game you said the same for Japan. But lo and behold, someone joined as Japan anyway. I wont let you trick me this time!

Leoven added as co-host. Belgium, Netherlands, Romania and Spain added as choose-able countries.

 

[Catholic]

I am putting Leoven mostly to work on reports, and we will be dividing up nations to write reports for. If you get a few solid paragraphs for your report, it was written by me. If you get your own personal novel, thank Leoven before publishing it.

Hey guys,

Just wanted to confirm that I did indeed offer to Co-Host this BoP. Keep in mind that I am a passenger and Eternal is the Driver. What I'll try to do add to the game is, firstly it seems, more players by virtue of just being here and secondly, I like writing fluff. As such I'll try to add a bit more colouring to the already richness of the reports you have come to expect from Eternal.

Thanks!

 

[Harkon Haakonson]

Holy ****, Leoven the legend co-hosting and handling his typical epic reports? That's reason alone to join any BoP! Great news. Miss your WH40k one.

I'd totally go for my main boy Nicholas II if Russia wasn't so hotly contested at the moment.
