Greetings!
This is an idea I had some time ago. You know succession games, where one player plays a ruler until he dies, then saves and uploads it for someone else to play the heir? They're pretty popular, and fun.
Another type of game is the "Quantum Leap"-style game(at least that's how I call it), which is when, generally in singleplayer, you play someone until he dies, save, load and randomize a character and play as him instead of your heir. Rinse and repeat.
So, why not combine both? You get one chance to make an empire - to affect the game world of all players coming after you. It also slightly breaks some monotony from the game, in that you won't necessarily have to be weary of those powers who are always strong, but may actually have to deal with completely new, player-related threats. You want to expand and make something, but you also must make it in a way that when the AI takes over after you're dead, it doesn't all just fall apart!
Anyway, I posted a thread in the CK2 forums to see if enough people were interested and it turns out there's more than enough, so here it is!
Rules:
Start date: 867
Starting character: Roll 3 times(count rolls do not count), choose your favorite
Player order: Randomized list of all participants, sign-ups are still open, but if you join now your name will be added to the bottom of the list.
Transfer at: When these two conditions are met: 25 years of in-game time have passed and player's first character is dead.
SI: Disabled
Other DLC: Whichever you want(so if you have, say, SoI, you can play Muslims, wouldn't affect others). - Including the Ruler Designer.
Mods: None
AAR-content: At least a small post containing your character and your main objectives/achievements. It can be as detailed as you want, though
