Actually, Seignthales, why don't you take over as Austria. I've already got my hands full, and I really shouldn't have signed up for this. I'll watch intently though! :yes:
AWWWW

Map will be edited soon
Canada's military is added onto Britain, so I removed Canada as a playable faction.
(As game moderator, I am more or less forced to remain neutral in the game at this point. So do not attack me, or you will have a plague.)
I'll go for Don Corleone's offer and take over as Austria, if I'm allowed.
Okay.
I might need sombody to do the map. I tried three times to update morocco, using paint (my computer sucks and cant run adobe photoshop, the only other editing program i have) and it keeps doing the thing where it makes a giant line through the whole thing. So, I have to start over...This is really pissing me off....
So i'm taking I can't send Airaids, send in tanks, send in warships?
Tanks were not used until the Somme offensive in 1916 so you'll probably have to wait a little while. Also, tanks in the First World War were slow, vulnerable to artillery fire and mechanically unreliable. Aircraft in WWI were mostly used for reconaisscance and destroying Deutch Zeppelins. They also were not large enough to carry serious payloads of explosives. As for warships, They actually played a large role in causing Britain's entrance into the war and if the naval battle of Jutland had swung in favor of Deutschland than the war could have turned out vastly differently. So feel free to unleash your Castles of Steel upon us.Quote:

Ill have to make something for naval and air actions...If any of you have a standing policy...
As for tanks, those deathtraps wont be involved untill 1916.
So am I in?
I forgot to update thet...But, yes. You are.Quote:

What's my situation right now. All I know is I'm in the center of the spotlight.
Ah, WWi IH, this brings back some good/bad memories.
I shall be watching eagerly.
No you won't be. Norway should be available if Motep sees my previous post.Quote:

By the way, here what I found in the good Shepherd maps:

Can I have a summary of what I'm taking over, and what I'm supposed to do for this first turn?
Thanks for the map. Ill make Norway seperate...(tomorrow, I dont have the time today)
IG gets Belgium, CA gets norway.
Yes, make your plans and diplomacy choices now, folks.
I am still awaiting what you wish me to do. Probably be best to send it by PM.Quote:

OOC:I think you should have started us out as it was in history, but that is my opinion. It would get the game moving faster.
We wish to uphold our neutrality in any conflicts between the major powers. Should our neutrality be violated, we shall have no hesitation in joining the enemies of our enemies.
Albert, King of the Belgians.
I formally declare war on Serbia and her allies. I shall mobilize 50% of my total military might.
Leaders of Austria-Hungary, The Serbians have repeatedly tried to make amends. It is now clear to us that you are nothing more than a petty and imperialistic country. Our alliance is based off of self defense so we wish to inform you that you will not have the aid of Italy in this war. Serbia's sovereignty should not be threatened because of the actions of a few of its citizens. I'm sure you too have some riff-raff in your country. Let the Black Hand be tried in an international court or else we will be forced by dignity, honor, and chivalry to protect the weaker Serbians from your expansionist ways.
In short, I switch to the Entente.
Edit: It seems that war has begun and Serbia's right to freedom has been violated. We officially declare war on Deutchland(Germany). I too will mobilize 50% of my total military might.
No matter cowards will always be cowards.
OOC: This shouldn't be allowed. The major powers should follow history, otherwise it is going to be a very short interactive.
How can Germany survive against France, Russia, and Austria? It can't. As a result, the Germans will stay neutral, and this game will grind to a halt.
I suggest that the Entente(Britain, France, and Russia) and the Central Powers(Germany and Austria-Hungary), should at least follow history until 1915.
Edit: And the Austrians hated the Serbs, they wouldn't merely accept the assasination of the heir to the throne by a Serbian as not being important.
What you say bears weight. Allow the Black Hand to be tried in an international court. I will formally acquit them of all charges in my country. Either way, if I release them or not, however, Serbia will bear the weight of the Black Hand's sin. The murder of my heir must be paid for in the blood of the culprits, and if the Black Hand is vindicated, their countrymen must take the fall for them.
-Franz Joseph, Emperor of Austria, Apostolic King of Hungary
That's Italy.Quote:

Handing over the Black Hand is impossible.

I hereby declare that, as the British, the Belgians, the Swiss, and the Dutch, although claiming neutrality, are all of the same root as the Austrian people, that root being Germanic, they will always be seen through respectful eyes in Austria-Hungary, even if relations will sour between us. No aggression will ever be declared by The Austro-Hungarian Empire upon any of the aforementioned peoples. But if aggression is made upon us, a reaction can not be avoided.
And to the Leader of Italy:
You are a traitor and a coward. You are motivated by ambition to turn against us. You had no place in this conflict to begin with, and now you seek to take our land. Your regime's demise will be swift and amusing.
-Franz Joseph, Emperor of Austria, Apostolic King of Hungary.
(I didn't really release the Black Hand, I just said they can do whatever they want, they're acquited, the enemy is now Serbia, as a whole.)
To the leader of Austria-Hungary
You are nothing more than a bully. We feel that it is the duty of the strong to protect the rights of the weak. This is not an act of cowardice but a showing of our strength and honour.
Spain will remain neutral, unless negociations are made.
I remind the Germans and the French to respect our neutrality in any any conflicts between them. I rule a nation, not a road, and will not permit access through my lands to any army.
Albert, King of the Belgians.
France will respect the rights of any and all neutral nations, and will not use them as a springboard with which to attack our enemies. We will not drag other nations unwillingly into war.
The Kaiser shall respect all countries rights to remain neutral in this conflict, but if they decide to declare war on the German people he will have no mercy.
You speak of strength and honor disgusts me. Where is your honor to your allies in this time of trouble? You abandon us for a country who harbors terrorists. Your honor was lost when you betrayed us, we shall not forget your cowardly acts. You are a man who only wishes for power and land, you should not be able to speak of honor and strength.Quote:

OOC: I'm disappointed; everyone's respecting my neutrality.
OOC::grin: Would be pretty stupid of me to try the same tactics that failed before.
OOC: That's what I am banking on. Let's see you try a WWII-esque invasion of Norway. Phear my Welfare Statiness!
I, too, shall respect those who currently wish to remain neutral. :laugh4:Quote:

Greece (This will be on the exam!!!
"In March 1821, the Greeks rebelled against the Ottoman Empire. Their struggle lasted until 1829, when the independence of the nascent Greek state was finally recognised under the London Protocol, although the Ottomans delayed recognition until the Treaty of Constantinople of 1832. In 1827, the Russian ex-minister of foreign affairs, Ioannis Kapodistrias (Ιωάννης Καποδίστριας), a noble Greek from the Ionian Islands, was chosen as the governor of the new Republic. However, the Great Powers soon dissolved that republic and installed a monarchy. The first king, Otto, was of the Bavarian House of Wittelsbach. The War of Independence also set in motion the establishment of major new cities and centres of trade such as Hermoupolis, Athens and Pireaus. In 1843 King Otto was forced, as a result of an uprising, to grant his subjects a constitution and a representative assembly. He was deposed in 1863 and replaced by Prince Vilhelm (William) of Denmark, of the Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg line of the House of Oldenburg, who took the name George I and brought with him the Ionian Islands as a coronation gift from Britain. On 29 March 1864, the Treaty of London pledged the transfer of sovereignty to Greece upon ratification. Thus, on May 28, by proclamation of the Lord High Commissioner, the Ionian Islands were united with Greece.
Greece was growing economically, whilst becoming politically more liberal. In 1877, Prime Minister Charilaos Trikoupis curbed the power of the monarchy to interfere in the Assembly. This period was punctuated by the undertaking of one of the largest construction initiatives on the European continent, one of significant commercial importance; the creation of the Corinth Canal, lasting from 1881 to 1893. In 1896 the Olympic Games were revived in Athens, and hailed as a success.
As a result of the Balkan Wars of 1912-13, Crete, Chios, Samos, most of Epirus and southern Macedonia, including Thessaloniki, were incorporated into Greece. King George, monarch for five decades, was assassinated in Thessaloniki in 1913; he was succeeded by his eldest son, King Constantine I." (That's me!!! :yes:)
"The Hellenic Army (Greek: Ελληνικός Στρατός) is the land force of Greece. The Army of the modern nation of Greece has a history of nearly 190 years and came to its present form, gradually through those years.
Motto of the Hellenic Army is "Freedom Stems from Valor" (Greek: "Ελεύθερον το Εύψυχον") and the Hellenic Army Emblem represents the two-headed eagle looking both left and right and the white cross in blue background placed in the middle."
The people and government of Serbia is delighted at the responses of our loyal allies and friends. Rock on Entente!!!

We are not trying to goat or flex our mitliart might since our army is small, or to cause touble, But we are just wanting to say that We will remain netrual, but if any country wishes to invade us, we will defend our nation to push the invading force out, so we could become netural and peacefull again :yes: .
The Netherlands will also stay neutral, as we have no idea where Serbia is.
Furthermore, all 10,000 regulars in our army, 2 of the 3 dogcarts towing machine guns and the 120 horses will be mobilized.
OOC: FEAR US!!!!! :whip:
The Swiss will moblize our army to, for Defense proposes.
(I AM Austria-Hungary... >.>)
So do we wait for a chapter before anything else happens?
Yes, but usually you can sit here throwing petty insults and propaganda at each other.Quote:

I, declare my alliance to Germany. All of those nations that want to destroy Germany with the purpose of gaining lands to make yourselves riches, you will have to fight us also. We can die, but not without fighting!

Representing the British, I would like to officially announce, that our army is mobilized and will be taking defensive positions in our lands, if a single unwanted man steps into our beloved lands, we take that as a means of war, and we are serious about it, it is immideate obliveration of your nation.
Get your turns in! You are running out of time!
What do I have to send?
The deployment of your soldiers.
My turns are in. France remember my roflpwned strategy because it will surely be your undoing.
I don't have to mobilize my whole army right?
I may need to resend my pm again. I don't what a reasanble amount of troops to deploy is good.
Deploy them all. It doesn't cost you anything to deploy them, only to move them for attacking purposes.
You could say: London, 8.6 million. And that would mean no one would seize London.
