There seems to be an explosion of Alternative/Interactive History threads lately, which is nice, since I like them.

You missed a major, "pioneering" Interactive History "Antiochus III" in which the main character was killed by a mutiny on the shores of Epirus in his struggles against Rome. I, sadly, wasn't there to remedy the wrongs in time (absent from the .org for months) and only came to witness my own death after the adventure was done. Pretty funny how the org's resident Antiochus would miss an Antiochus III thread.

So, yes, foolish decisions can kill in these kind of threads, the largest one yet, Manstein's Woes, was very hard-fought.

So, basically, the rules means this thread is for questions and posting developments, while "we" (if there are other players for one character) discuss things through PM and send you our strategies by PM, right?

Also, is this the start or will you give out "starting" narratives like the other threads? If this is the start in itself, is it possible for me to meddle the balances in the House this late? What political maneuvers must I pursue? And, if you can, please give us some details about the conditions in Belgium right now...how many social groups there are (like, French nobility, Catholic Clerics, etc) and what are their stances.
