OOC: That would work I suppose, thanks

**Frymonmon** · 12-02-2012 14:52

Alright people. Listen up. I need your input. I was thinking of doing things a bit differently. The "Updates" would be on a yearly basis, with Mini-Updates sprinkled in between, BUT, throughout the course of time it takes to get to another year, I release "War Updates" which covers the War for that period of time. So, let's say, it's 1870. The Next update is 1871. Over the course of the time between updates, a War, let's say the Chinese-Japanese War, takes place via War Updates. Thoughts?

Edit: A new set of orders would be made as well. War Orders. You would have a set amount of them, and you may give them right after a War-Update comes out.

Would these be daily, or what?

I rather like the 3 month updates, but if it'd be easier for you to just do 1 year updates with mini-updates throughout, then go ahead. It might alienate those of us with smaller or non-important nations however. There is only so much that can happen in South America or Africa.

**Frymonmon** · 12-02-2012 15:03

Boris: Maybe. Quite possible to keep the IC moving. Really I would like to do it when all the parties at war have their orders in.

King: True. But remember now, all nations do have the same amount of orders. South America could very well become a thriving place of economic activity, and generally a good place to RP as. Just to keep it interesting, I could chuck in a lot of stuff for our African and South American players to make it enjoyable.

**Spitfire5793** · 12-02-2012 15:05

OOC: I would give you my orders but I'm waiting on Austria...

**Frymonmon** · 12-02-2012 15:07

Actually, what would be better? 1 Year updates or 6 Month updates?

**Muskeato** · 12-02-2012 15:07

OOC: First of all, WHAT there's been like 15 pages in two days. Now I'm gonna go see what I've missed.

**Suirantes** · 12-02-2012 15:16

OOC: I would prefer 1 year updates, also do we re-send orders now?
@muskeato; You didin't miss much, beside the FrancoAustro-Prussian and the Austro-Italian war. And the war is about the unification of Germany.

**DoomBunny** · 12-02-2012 15:29

OOC: How about we use 3 month updates for when an important war (GP vs GP, e.g, our current war, USCW, Japan vs China, etc...) is going on. And yearly updates when no major wars are happening, even if some minor wars are still happening (e.g Germany curbstomping Luxembourg).

EDIT: Not much new Muskeato, just WW1.

**Frymonmon** · 12-02-2012 15:37

I think, after thinking it over, we shall go with the system I devised (1 year updates, with War Updates) and see how it works.

**DoomBunny** · 12-02-2012 15:39

OOC: Sounds good. I take it this means that fleets and recruitment now happen in a single turn?

**Muskeato** · 12-02-2012 15:44

OOC: Ha at least I'm no longer the centre of attention. I'll wait on sending orders in until the new system is clarified a bit.

**Frymonmon** · 12-02-2012 15:59

Muskeato, just send me orders for the USA's Civil War. If you give me that, I can write a War Update, then you can send me your orders for the year.

**Suirantes** · 12-02-2012 16:01

OOC: How many orders per war update, and are my orders still valid?

**Seek75** · 12-02-2012 16:04

OOC: I would've preferred the original system, but that's just me.

Also, does that mean I have to re-send my orders?

**DoomBunny** · 12-02-2012 16:05

OOC: I wouldnt think so. Unless of course the change in update style changes your warplans?

**123xyz8** · 12-02-2012 16:06

OOC: I assume this means our orders now count for 1 whole year than 3 months.

**Frymonmon** · 12-02-2012 16:06

This system makes it easier for me. You can either have less IC, less mini-updates and keep the old system, or have one big update, with a bunch of War and Mini Updates in between.

Anywho. Orders do NOT need to be resent. Nations at war may supplement their orders for war orders. There is NO limit to War Orders. Once I get the USA's orders I shall write an update for the American Civil War.

*War Orders are for Player vs Player only

**Muskeato** · 12-02-2012 16:08

OOC: "Along with their Mexican Expedition, the French Navy sends a massive amount of supplies to the Confederate States. Mistakenly, the French Navigators misunderstand Baltimore, Maryland for Norfolk, Virginia. After a show by the locals, the French are convinced that this port is in Virginia, and off load all of their supplies. As the French leave, they are horrified to see the American flag once again wave high over the Harbour Master's House, as well as the discovery that they were being led out of the Harbour by two large ships of the United States Navy." Operation:Troll Successful. Haha
