(correct me if wrong)

Rules:

Absences:

-22:15 is the starting time, it means thats the time we start, not the time you arrive in the chat and game, if you arrived even 5 minutes later without noticing me first, we might not rehost for you, and even if we do youll have to deal with what the AI has done to your nation.

- Unannounced absences or leaves will result in immediate AI replacement or substitution. If you miss the first session, your chosen country will be open for someone else to take. If you miss any other session after the first, your country gets AIed or subbed (if you're lucky). If you fail to contact someone and justify your absence for any session, your country will be AIed.

- It is YOUR responsibility to find yourself a substitute for your country. We will try to find one for you, but if we fail, it's still your fault. Players who wish to be subs only are allowed to declare themselves as such in this thread.

- If a country is AIed and the player is gone, that country is "protected"; no other players can go to war with it, and if in some way you do get into war with said nation, you must force a white peace ASAP.

- If a player rage quits during a war any peace under 100 warscore can be applied. After that, either a new perm will be searched for or it will get partitioned.

Rehost:

- Each player has the right to 2 rehosts per session. If there are technical issues there won't be a rehost until these might be fixed. This means no consecutive rehosts for a single player.

General Rules:

- In the case that a nation does not have a leader and an heir with sufficient stats for westernization or forming a new country and that is the only requirment missing on the end of the session, the heir gets editted so that he would have the sufficient value, however, the value added would be decreased out of another value the heir has, according to the GMs judgment.

- War Taxes are permitted

- Agreements between players, private or public, will not be enforced. However, agreements that form part of a peace deal will be enforced.

- If you feel you have been severely mistreated by another player, contact the GM discreetly.

- Do not wreck your nation. No mass-releasing of vassals out of spite.

- Seizing colonies is not only allowed but encouraged.

- If your country has been severely damaged and is no longer able to function efficiently and you want to stay in the game, you are able to switch countries.

- War goals must be stated when declaring war. These aims can change and are not required to be the final peace terms straight up. If the defender chooses to surrender immediately, they cannot be changed, if he fights for a long enough period of time, they may be changed.

- No diplo-vassalization of states in the HRE as a non-member state unless they are in your culture group. There is no limit to vassalization due to war however.

- If you are forced to release a vassal via war demands, you may not re-diplo-vassalise a nation that you lost until 6 years have passed.

Peace Rules:

- When terms are asked for, they must be given. This does not require you to cease fighting. The losing side can accept these terms, or continue fighting. If they accept terms/invoke surrender, the war is over, and that is irrevocable. If you invoke surrender before asking for terms, that is your mistake, and you must accept whatever terms are given.

- A peace term can never be over 100% Warscore for the entire losing alliance, and the release of provinces counts as double the Warscore. This is to prevent games where one single nation or alliance can bully everybody.

- Annexing players is allowed.

- Alliance leaders may not sign peace without the explicit consent of all members of their alliance. Minor members of the war may peace out separately, but still the other alliance must agree on that. In case the warleader wants to surrender but a minor doesn't, a peace with the leader would be agreed upon and fighting and occupation would stop, in extreme cases we will edit the minor partner as the war leader so that the original leader could peace

- In PvP wars, A player may not peace through an AI warleader without the consent of the other human participants. The only exception is for "War for the Throne" type wars.

Forbiddens:

Generally all exploits are forbidden, here's a list of the common ones:

- Releasing and reconquering vassals on which you have a core in order to burn infamy, however it is possible to diplo-annex them 10 years later.

- Selling or donating manufactories, CoTs or missionaries to other players.

- Pausing for multi-dowing

- Destroying colonies for the purpose of changing a trade good.

- Adding provinces to the empire for the purpose of getting cores on them (for example using imperial ban).

- Bringing another Player to fight a war for them

Keep in mind that this is just a list of examples, it does NOT mean every other exploit is allowed.

Note: I reserve the right to edit the rules as necessary and make on-the-fly decisions during a game if there is a situation where a rule cannot be applied properly or without its initial intent.

in order to sign up for the game, post any nation you wish to play, i will try to give you a nation that you chose, but i will consider balance first.

also, post your skype name, skype will be the major out of game communication system, and its absolutely mandatory.

Can I get a little help here?

"Once More Unto the Breach, an MP Megacampaign" — Sundays, 16:00 CET

Fivoin — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 23:46:38 GMT

"Once more unto the breach" is the second phase of a mega-campaign spanning all the way from Crusader Kings to Hearts of Iron, 1066 to 1966. The CK phase of the campaign has ended and we are now entering into a new era.

Time: 16:00-20:00 CET, 10:00-14:00 EST Sundays.
Start date: Sunday, June 30
Version: 5.2 Checksum QMXZ (a small mod is applied to this version. This mod change no parts of the main gameplay but focuses on making the religions more equal in strength. Changelog for the mod will follow soon.)
Host: Fivoin
Chat: TS3
Game speed: 3x at peace, 2x or 1x in pvp wars, depending on the circumstances.

In weeks when US and Europe are out of synch due to differing summer-time start and end dates, we follow the time of the host.

House rules(still subject to change)

Most important rule: All players will remain at all times courteous and polite; this includes ingame chat, TeamSpeak chat, and forum posts. It is particularly important to remember this rule when someone is stabbing you in unmentionable places. If you are being crushed by overwhelming force, a little whining is one thing, but do not descend to personal insults. Conversely, if you are doing the crushing, mockery is not called for; you're likely to be next. Remember, just because you apologise for conquering someone doesn't mean you have to stop doing it. Bragging should take the form of AAR posts demonstrating your tactical cleverness; recall that this looks all the better if you don't call your enemy a noob - where is the glory in beating such? If someone makes a mistake, it is possible to say so calmly without personal disparagement.

No stacks larger than 150 ships.
No attacking AI'd players. If attacked, get a WP as soon as possible. If the war started while you were both present, you need not get a WP. (Unless, for example, you started the war five minutes before the end of a session, while aware that your opponent would be gone next week. In other words, don't be an exploiter; this rule has general application!)
No intentional destroying/ruining your nation.
No selling provinces to nations that cannot see both your capital and the province in question.
No releasing vassals that you have cores on, except as a result of peace resolutions, unless you have zero BB. (No fake wars for this purpose, please.)
No selling provinces to the AI for nonzero amounts of ducats.
Co-oping is allowed, except that in wartime, you may not use co-oping to give yourself more humans than your opponents have. Passive observation is still permitted.
No vassalization of player nations.

Those are rules, to be enforced by edits and if necessary bans; what follows is advice and request. This is a conversion game; we will continue into Victoria 2 and Hearts of Iron. We are in it, then, for the long haul. If you lose a war, give up a few provinces rather than run your nation into the ground. If you find yourself growing angry, take a deep breath and remember that it's a game, and that the countless armies of enemy pixels will not be able to burn down your house and rape your women. If you absolutely must ragequit, please have the good grace not to ruin your nation beforehand; someone else may want it.

There will be a reward for AARs of at least 500 words, or an equivalent amount of work in the judgment of the GM; choose one:
• One magistrate, or three spies/diplomats/colonists/merchants/missionaries (any combination).
• XX gold(to be determined).
• 20 legitimacy.
• 10 prestige or army/navy/culture tradition.
Amounts will be adjusted as we go along, since gold will become less valuable.

It is strongly recommended that you get an account at Ederon as a lot of discussion takes place there. It is also recommended that you are on TS during the game. You don't need to speak or have a microphone, what's important is being aware of rehosts and other details.

"The Master Race" — Saturdays, 20:00

marshon — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 19:15:21 GMT

Game time: Saturdays 20-24 CET
Start date: When enough signups
Version: 5.2 (QMXZ) (don�t worry I hate it as much as everyone else, iwanow forced me D: )
Game Chat: Skype
Gm:Iwanow Co-gm marshon

Game Settings:

Difficulty: Normal
AI Aggressiveness: Low
Lucky Nations: Off
Spread of Land Provinces: 75 Years
Spread of Sea Provinces: 75 Years

Rules

General:

Do not harass or insult players
Do not wreck your nation on purpose
Bargains and deals between players, that are not a part of a peace deal, will not be enforced by the GM.
Do abstain from gamey behaviour. (Like but not limited to giving away missionaries, removing cores or HRE membership by selling provinces, releasing vassals to reduce infamy, annexing other player's vassals when not at war with them). Ask when in doubt.
No sale of provinces to nations who can't see said provinces and can't see the sellers capital.

Absence, rehosting and editing:

If a player drops or arrives late rehosts will be granted generally within ~1 year of game time. If the nation is at risk from war or rebels or suchlike a rehost will usually be granted much sooner.
If a player drops repeatedly, rehosts may be postponed until other players have the need as well.
When you drop, your nation will be ghosted. Ghosted nations may not be attacked and adjacent players should do their best to clean out rebels if they appear.
Players absent from a session without notifying the GM or another player at least 2 hours in advance, may be removed from the game (At GM discretion). Depending on the situation, the chance of being removed from the game for missing one session is very small, but increases a lot if you miss two or more consecutive sessions.
It is a players responsibility to find a sub if he is not able to show.
Edits has to be requested by the players and will in general be given to compensate for AI mismanagement or to adapt a country to a new players gamestyle.

Warring:

You may not declare war on a player country controlled by an AI.
You may not declare war on a ghosted player country.
You may not declare war for ‘funsies’.
You may not declare war for the sole purpose of farming war-taxes or gaining the crusader bonus.
Players may ask for the attackers/defenders demands anytime during the war, and the demands will have to be stated publicly. If the player declines the demands, they can be changed to compensate for further war costs. If the player accepts (surrenders), no further demands can be made.
If you DoW a player's AI vassal, land can only be taken from that vassal in terms of the cb used. The only exception is the use of a cb that could have been used on the player if they had a border with you but they don't due to the vassal being in between your two nations. (such as holy war)

Peace Deals:

Peacing a player nation through an AI nation is forbidden.
An alliances demands may not exceed a warscore of 100% on any single player.
Releasing of nations counts as double the warscore.
Following a surrender further hostilities between the parties must be avoided and the war must be ended as soon as possible. Once a proposal has been accepted it can no longer be withdrawn from either side and the war is over.
If you are the war leader and you surrender while your allies have not done so, the war leader will/can be edited manually to enable you to peace out. (I would prefer if people could try to avoid situations where edits are needed, by declaring war seperatly).
Players cannot be annexed unless they have 5 european provinces or less left, no matter the Warscore.
You cannot demand more than 1/4 provinces from a player, unless he have less than 4 provinces. You can still annex him if it is possible.

All rules are subject to change before gamestart, rules in red are currently disputed and will probably be modified before gamestart.

If you want to sign up, reply with your top 5 country choices.

"Best of the B-Sides" — Fridays, 19:00 CET

vasziljevics — Sat, 15 Jun 2013 11:45:08 GMT

starts on 28. 06. 2013.
sessions will be 4 hours (19:00-23:00 CET)

This is gonna be a "non-majors campaign" so players may sign up to whatever nations they want excluding the majors (note: being a "major" is subject to my discretion) which are mostly (but not necessarily restricted to!) the following ones:

Austria
Bohemia
Burgundy
Castille
Denmark
England
France
Hansa
Holland
Mamluks
Milan
Ming
Muscowy
Ottomans
Poland
Portugal
Venice

Given enough sign-ups I will try to sort the player list out to make the campaign as balanced as possible depending on the skills of the players participating in it - I encourage experienced players to choose more challenging nations!

game version: ZZFZ

game settings:

lucky nations: off
diff: normal
spread: 100 years each

Common rules apply and in general you may and may not do whatever I (the GM) tell you!

Unique rules:

Players may not fake-war each other to change religion in a peace deal (stolen from Pewt) - this is to prevent extremely gamey behaviour of harvesting all the beneficial religious decisions without the downsides of converting. If you want to change religion you could still accept rebel demands, collapse to them or else.
Given the somewhat experimental aspect of the campaign I might be most receptive to edits so feel free to ask me for them - we are going to play for fun anyway!

All rules are subject to discussion before first session.

You may sign up with posting at least 5 nations in a reply.

EDIT: and post your skype also if you don't have me already!

The Final Eu3 Campaign of the last real Vets AAR:

Elcyion — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 23:39:28 GMT

Warning This aar will contain Amusing, Disturbing, Idiotic and foolish parts that will be offensive to most people and espacially the people in the Campaign.

Beginning

After the huge turnout the vets finally got to know wich Majors they got 10min Before the start by Pewt:

Mamluks:

With this line up i knew i had to do some fast Diplomacy as Silktrader is a highly skilled player and he might out diplo me if he has the time. France-Poland-Switzerland was all contacted and NAPs was signed. OE declined a NAP at first but with Silktrader moving to Mameluks and Clonefusion into Milan, Rayzee finally agreed to NAP. with this all done the setup was done for Glorious Austria to start the Road to HRE and to Glory. the youtube stuff sadly missed the first part of the session becuse i forgot to turn on Fraps as i was hosting and was busy with that.

Now onto the highly amusing parts the Glorious Austrian Emperor first started the diplomatic game by Contacting the Leader of incest aka Switzerland. Theyr leader was a tiny man, nearly a dwarf in size. But the oddest thing about him thought was that he had married his own Sister. It must be something in the Alps making them crasy the Austrian leader thought but he had to make the agreements he needed to secure the Austrian Hegemony. The meeting Went well even thought Lord Incest needed to stop the meeting evry 5min to take his sister. The deals was signed and the Austrian Leader had to make the walk to the land of Transvestites and tarts where Another important meeting had to take Place.

Will be continued tommorow when i got more time

Spread of Sea Provinces: 75 Years

Rules

General:

Do not harass or insult players
Do not wreck your nation on purpose
Bargains and deals between players, that are not a part of a peace deal, will not be enforced by the GM.
Do abstain from gamey behaviour. (Like but not limited to giving away missionaries, removing cores or HRE membership by selling provinces, releasing vassals to reduce infamy, annexing other player's vassals when not at war with them). Ask when in doubt.
No sale of provinces to nations who can't see said provinces and can't see the sellers capital.

Absence, rehosting and editing:

If a player drops or arrives late rehosts will be granted generally within ~1 year of game time. If the nation is at risk from war or rebels or suchlike a rehost will usually be granted much sooner.
If a player drops repeatedly, rehosts may be postponed until other players have the need as well.
When you drop, your nation will be ghosted. Ghosted nations may not be attacked and adjacent players should do their best to clean out rebels if they appear.
Players absent from a session without notifying the GM or another player at least 2 hours in advance, may be removed from the game (At GM discretion). Depending on the situation, the chance of being removed from the game for missing one session is very small, but increases a lot if you miss two or more consecutive sessions.
It is a players responsibility to find a sub if he is not able to show.
Edits has to be requested by the players and will in general be given to compensate for AI mismanagement or to adapt a country to a new players gamestyle.

Warring:

You may not declare war on a player country controlled by an AI.
You may not declare war on a ghosted player country.
You may not declare war for ‘funsies’.
You may not declare war for the sole purpose of farming war-taxes or gaining the crusader bonus.
Players may ask for the attackers/defenders demands anytime during the war, and the demands will have to be stated publicly. If the player declines the demands, they can be changed to compensate for further war costs. If the player accepts (surrenders), no further demands can be made.
If you DoW a player's AI vassal, land can only be taken from that vassal in terms of the cb used. The only exception is the use of a cb that could have been used on the player if they had a border with you but they don't due to the vassal being in between your two nations. (such as holy war)

Peace Deals:

Peacing a player nation through an AI nation is forbidden.
An alliances demands may not exceed a warscore of 100% on any single player.
Releasing of nations counts as double the warscore.
Following a surrender further hostilities between the parties must be avoided and the war must be ended as soon as possible. Once a proposal has been accepted it can no longer be withdrawn from either side and the war is over.
If you are the war leader and you surrender while your allies have not done so, the war leader will/can be edited manually to enable you to peace out. (I would prefer if people could try to avoid situations where edits are needed, by declaring war seperatly).
Players cannot be annexed unless they have 2 provinces or less left, no matter the Warscore.

All rules are subject to change before gamestart, rules in red are currently disputed and will probably be modified before gamestart.

Rules

General:

Game will start in 1399 and up to 1425 we will have a player peace, so you can't fight other players till 1425. This is so as to avoid global conflicts when most players have small countries and some chose big ones from the beginning and would stand no chance in a global war.
Do not harass or insult players.
Do not wreck your nation on purpose. If you do, we will rehost from an earlier save, so you have nothing to gain from it.
Bargains and deals between players, that are not a part of a peace deal, will not be enforced by the GM.
No sale of provinces to nations who can't see said provinces and can't see the sellers capital.

Absence, rehosting and editing:

De-syncing

NoWarButColdWar — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 21:43:11 GMT

My friend and I have recently discovered the eu3 multiplayer and have been having a lot of fun with it. However with the release of the 5.2 patch we have been experiencing frequent crashes and de-syncs. Neither of us have had the problem on multiplayer before and still do no have either problem on our single player campaigns strangely enough. Does anyone have any suggestions how to help? ( not sure whether to use the bugs forum or this one because the problem of crashes seems t be uniquely multiplayer)

I need 32 players for a huge multiplayer game

Zevrow — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 07:42:37 GMT

Hello everyone, since the new 5.2 patch I have been getting used to it over time, anyway, I think it would be awesome with the new patch if we could have a 32 player game I will host, I can make it so it is direct IP which means just connecting to me directly, I have literly a perfect connection as barely anyone times out, though if you don't want to disconnect pretty much ever, then clear your cache by going to Maps > Cache, deleting the folder, loading the game, quitting the game, loading the game again and then joining my multiplayer game, if you don't clear the cache, this is the only issue I know of that will get you disconnected unless of course I shove it on 5 speed straight away lol, anyway, I am going to put it on 2 speed at the beginning until everyone has connected well and they 3 speed for the rest of the game. If you are up for it add me to Steam, my Steam ID is Zevrow, remember to tell me you want to play.

My clan may or may not enter this game, there is usually about 5 - 8 of us in one of these games and you can have people take your place if you can't come on time, the game will be from 15:00 GMT to 21:00 GMT Sunday.
