East vs. West: A Grand Conquest Role-Play (Signups)

Discussion thread is up!

I'll just use this fella called Harry A.*

See. It's A, not S. Totally different person. As for appearance, let's say our good friend Harry looks like Terrence Stamp◊, just a few years younger.

By the way, a suggestion: it would be a good idea to add a list of countries to the post that starts every turn, who is their leader (both the character and player) and what side are they in. As time progresses, you can put in "in war with X" or things like that.

Can do, will do on the next turn

Also, and I'm going to say this before we start, but I think it's best if we keep the whole request and number thing on the thread. Now, here's what I'm thinking.

A normal post would go with a description of current states in the country, the reaction to the results of the last requests (like if an Economic Reform did well) and the next requests.

Then the GM rolls a random number and posts this random number on the thread (like U.S Bill #423 for Agricultural Reform in the South got a 78) and from that, the players can describe what came out of it.

This keeps things much more open and gives more use to the thread. And the G Ms don't have to deal that much with P Ms and that.

Now, as for Wars and stuff that we don't want other leaders to find out, then we just make it so the country is doing that behind the curtain. I know that no one would use that knowledge to their advantage (which could be considered metagaming, as there is no in-game way of another country finding out about that, unless they're using a spy), so that won't be a problem.

What do you think, Paulie?

I like it. We could definitely use that idea.

You could implement it on East vs West, see if it works and then move it to Imperial Glory.

Most definitely, and indeed, we will.

The Great Leader of America looks like a British actor. I'd laugh, but I'm playing Britain, and our humour is so much more highbrow.

I'm actually going with Charlie J. Winstor as England's young and courageous leader. And for his appearance, he looks like, what else, England from Hetalia.◊

I like this plan.

The leader of Japan looks like, uh, Japan◊, and shall be named... Ishinomori Go. >.> <.< He is a young, progressive leader who favours scientific research so that Japan may have all the giant robots.

The acting heads of the Mafia are engaged and set to be married within the year assuming one doesn't die. The guy's name is Daniel Greene and he is the head of the American branch, operates out of New York, and while he's polite and even fatherly in some ways, he's also ruthless and willing to kill. Girl's name is Luticia Ariano and she's in charge of Italy's branch, is headquartered in Sicily, and she's a bit more subtle and political than her husband to be.

You know what... I'm running with the Facist Dictatorship angle and my leaders name will be Generalísimo Enrique Fuentes!

Accepted

Also accepted, should be interesting

Bang Chung, while a contemporary of Mao, is more deeply interested in securing the economic and social stability of the nation before pressing on towards the future. That being said, he prefers to deal more more in diplomacy and meeting mutual interests rather than grand displays of force. Whether that's a matter of idealism or pragmatism (or perhaps even both) is yet to be seen.
