1829: interactive history one step beyond

[Mr White]

I'll be the wealthy Belgians. Don't know anything about he emergence of Belgium, and am too lazy to look stuff up, but that only makes it more fun.

I want to put some background information since 1815 on the net if you like ( all from wikipedia) That will give you a feel of the situation back then.

The game can begin now (people can still join if they want: play as the Rotschilds or together with another player). I will post the prologue on the 2nd of january.

We still have to decide the timeframe in wich you have to send me your moves by personal message and of course my timeframe for posting a new chapter.

I really hope this will be fun

Mr White,

just another question: What about secret diplomacy? Can I contact the other monarchs directly to adjust our diplomacy?

I think I mentioned it before. You can use secret diplomacy and probably need to as this will most likly be a political one rather than a military one. To do this you can contact the other players directly. I only ask that you inform me before engaging and afterwards with the result. If you don't I will act as if the treaty doesn't exist.

[AntiochusIII]

Aye. So we have to inform you before cutting deals with other monarchs?

I suggest at least 24+ hours for each chapter "decision time" because we have players from different timeline and all the pm time involved might take some time.

Look at the list, I found 4 historical allies who actually did nothing to save my monarchy. We must change that people! Where are you Wellington?

I would say about 48 hours or so and an aditional 3 days for me to gather all the information and write a new chapter. I want to ad that when explaining your tactics to me you can elaborate as much as you think is necessary but at the end you sum up your tactics in short so I don't have to search what you mean and there are no misunderstandings.

Well most of your allies had some benefit from the Belgian uprising and others were to busy with internal matters to be able to react. This is what will make the game so interesting, no fun in a civil uprising being crushed by the combined forces of multiple major nations.

That being said, a revolution isn't necessary or inevitable. It just happened because Willem I and his entourage was to hesitant or made the wrong decisions.
