I have/am enjoying the interactive histories on this forum a lot. I only have one remark: It's actually the storyteller that has the biggest influence on the story. (nothing wrong with that but sometimes I get the feeling that the main character can't lose)
That is why I will try to set up a new interactive history where there are more roles to play. So different members can play against each other.
The place: Europe, with the focus on the Kingdom of the Netherlands
The time: 1829 and after
The situation:
Kingdom of the Netherlands founded after the Congress of Vienna as a buffer against France and its revolution BUT there are internal tensions:
- The nobility and the rich speak French while Willem I made Dutch the official language.
- The clerics in the south are catholic and fear the protestant influences from the north (Willem I is also a protestant)
- There is an economical crisis in the kingdom with social agitation as a consequence.
=> this is a potential timebomb
Possible characters: - Willem I and his court
- The Belgian nobility and rich
- France
- England
- Russia
- Prussia
- Rotschilds (Jewish bankers who allegedly financed the Belgian uprising)
- ...
Rules: - The forum will be used for the story, official messages of the characters and help by others than the players themselves who want to offer advice, historical facts, ...
- The first who askes me to play a specific character/faction will get it but it is possible to play in group as long as just one is responsible for reporting to me and the official messages on the forum.
- the player(s) will explain their strategy to me (by personal message) after each new chapter within a certain time. After I got all the strategies, I will make aa new chapter with everybodies moves.
- It is possible to make alliances between players/factions. These can be both public as secret. Before starting the negotiations you have to inform me about it. After the negotiations both players must inform me with the results.
- This is an interactive history so don't do thins that were impossible or make choices that are very unlikely.
If you have any questions or remarks just post them here and I will answer as soon as possible.
Hope you will enjoy this game.
