Heart Of Darkness 1936 Alternative History
[NOTE: THIS IS ALTERNATIVE HISTORY, NATIONS DO NOT HAVE TO BE ABSOLUTELY ACCURATE]
After a Devastating War to end all wars, the world has ended an age of peace, but how long can it last? with Germany on the rise once more breaking rule, european leaders choose to follow a policy of appeasement, with much of the world still recovering from the great depression, the rise of Fascism, Capitalism, and Communism gives hope to the masses Revolutions, fanaticism, greed, and disunity has spread all thought human society and the drums of war is now once again beating With the age of empire’s ending and the old rule of kings and queens being re-wittien, it is up to you to prove yourself worthy, will you lead the world to democracy or to tyranny. Map Key: Green = Soviet Union = paul_French Empire = Red Gray = Nazi Germany = Taken by AhovkingBlue = United States of America = Taken by Joediplomat Pink = British Empire = Taken by Mouseman490Yellow = Spain = sparxLite Blue = Portugal Empire Oringe = Netherlands Empire. Pinkish-White = Italy Purple = Kingdom of Yugoslavia = Taken by VarspasianNote: You can play as a non-coloured nation thats not listed above, and ill assign you a unique colour.
Important note: In 1936 there are no more uncolonised land left, every piece of land now belongs to a nation state, however in this RP game, only the major players are coloured, this doesn't mean the uncoloured land is yours to take, for example Poland, Brazil and Sweden all still exist in the game, only not coloured, They are to be treated as if they were player controlled states, players can reach economic agreements and declare a state of war between these non colored state as you would with a player controlled state
So lets expand a little on what you guys can already guess. This would be a Alternative role play set at the dawn of World War 2. A world emerging a War to end all wars and a devastating global depression. A place of lots of possibilities. Our departure point from natural history is directly at the year of 1936, which would mean any events before hand, are as is. How the years beyond 1936 go, are entirely up to you.
Can you stop World War 2? The way in which the nations of the World interact with one another diplomatically, militarily, and economically are up to the discretion of the players. Technology can be developed earlier than expected, or later than expected, depending on the way the player leads their country. The same remains true with the socio-economic systems of their respective countries. Political developments are changed in the same way. Here is an example of the application that may be used to allocate the nations to players:
As far as game mechanics go, there are four-thread organisation.
- One thread would be the OOC (presumeably this one).
- The second would handle diplomacy, external events and any inter-nation messages, telegrams, letters or personal communiques directed in-game.
- The third would direct internal events affecting a players particular nation i.e (internal revolution, civil war, daily economic/technological progress, propoganda). - Lastly, the fourth would handle any war and battle developments between two or more players and parties. Rules & Regulations 1. All players must use proper grammar, spelling, and format 2. All players must respect the OP's word of law. This includes the OP's Deputies. 3. No Godmodding, etc 4. This is an Alternate History roleplay. Events can be modified, but remain factual and in reality. 5. Realism is key to this RP 6. Place posts in the correct thread 7. Wars must have clear meaning and purpose. Diplomacy should be considered before declaring. 8. One post a day is strongly recommended but not mandatory. If you are unable to continue to play the game or going away from the game for a few days to a few weeks but plan to come back Alert the OP a day before the fact. 9. There is no rating or limit to the graphicness and discription in posts. Simply be consciencious and adult to this fact. 10. Be fair, be adult, and most of all, have some fun! Edit: 1 month = 1 year

Are we creating our own threads for each Domestic, Diplomatic and COnflict? or are we all posting under one community thread, because I see under Domestic thread that there are threads for Japan and the Soviet Union. I am curious because in that case I will create one for the US.

joediplomatthat depends on your preference really. I urge all members to post a thread on their own in order not to clog up the general thread with traffic but you still can post in the general thread if you want to

Reminder for Everyone who is planning to implement the Blitzkrieg strategy into their armyI know that all of you (even me) wanted to implement the Blitzkrieg tactics and strategy into their military. I admit it is a highly tempting and highly adaptive and useful strategy. BUT i need to remind you that the first book to ever propose this strategy was published in 1937 and before that Blitzkrieg is highly theoretical at best and scoffed at at worst

Hey everyone, just note that since my posts skipped ahead to 1937 in my domestic news, and my diplomacy is still in 1936, I will not post new domestic news until all my diplomacy has stopped from 1936.
Instead I will be editing my old domestic news to match my diplomacy news.
For example my talks with Japan have me sending troops to aid in the civil war there in July 1936 so I am editing my domestic news to reflect that.
I will only post new domestic news when I see people are posting ahead of 1937 or my diplomacy catches up.
