Ah, well then, I look forward to seeing what you end up doing with her.
Are we ever going to actually set up a new for reals IAAR or are we going to never be able to roleplay as stuffy old white men again?
I've got something in the works once pledging ends; stuffy old men never die.
Interesting! What I liked about this one was that it was in NWO and offered a lot of choice.
I think that it took place in the Anglosphere made it a lot easier for players to connect to.
If you do start up a new one I'd very much like to try and play in it for longer than a few weeks before I get distracted by school and whatnot.
Is Portugal out of the picture? There's a whole lot of interesting possibilities there, I feel, and it's brought up almost everytime but never shown to light. I personally find smaller powers more interesting.
Also the modern setting meant that people could play as whatever ideology they wanted from the beginning, instead of having to wait months IRL time for socialism to be invented in Karl Marx's secret underground laboratory.
A dictatorship always slow down politics and limits the parties. The elections in this game was were the core of it laid.
Victorian Portugal was a time of political instability, so I think it would just cause politics to be very divisive from the get-go, with conflict abound. Even if one side claims initial victory, in Iberia, nothing is for certain. I think with the right system this could be accounted.
Don't you have any respect to those who wish to live out the absolute monarchy dream for a few short sweet years
Oh, I thought you meant in New World Order. Portugal in vanilla is a poor and challenging country.
Exactly, think of the fun! Besides the main goal would be obvious reunification with Brazil.
Yeah, a stable electoral system was one of the best parts of this game.
Honestly, ABE is a good argument for why we should just ban making absolutist governments possible in IAARs.
For the record, I'm of the mind that with the right system, an absolutist system could actually work wonderfully in IAAR terms. Like the system here, you just need to design the right functions.

Well yeah, if it was designed right it can work. But previous authoritarianism in IAARs haven't exactly been great examples of that.
