"Don't Cry for me Argentina!"

Sweet, they uploaded the full episodes?

*They* didn't. I typed in Harvey Birdman to get the theme song and noticed some random account uploaded five random episodes. Not even from the same season.

I am also nostalgia tripping today.

You know that feeling when you kind of want to end a game you're running so you can host another that'd be less of a pain in the butt?

Yeah I've got that. :V

Overall, ATEN is something I dread updating, and with half the players MIA or otherwise inactive I just don't think the enthusiasm is there.

To be fair, it is near Christmas. Inactivity is always high near Christmas.

Folks were dropping long before Christmas, though, which leads me to think it's just too much for the average player to keep track of.

Yeah, TBH I would just can it if I were you.

Aww. I like it, personally :c

But I'm one player, so there's that.

inactivity was always high around Christmas

Why do you think I delayed the launch of Legacy of the Romans? heck, i got so bored, that I started re-improving the GangIOT 2 ruleset, and for some reason I see it all wrong now ..... you're bad influence for me, guys.

I'd be more active if I didn't have a friend over for the rest of the month.

I have mentioned this so many times.

I haven't been deeply moved to join any of the current games and I wouldn't want to host my own until I'm in at least one of someone else's.

I don't want to get peoples hopes up but I have been working on

The suspense. It kills me.

Alright then. I have gone all "Ja Kali Ma" and stuff on ATEN, so that's that.

Now for my January game.

Well, it wouldn't be in the IOT subforum likely, but as it will probably feature primarily IOT folks, I think discussing it here would be a good idea.

Alright, so what IS set in stone about it?

For starters, it will be an IAAR game based off of El Justo's Age of Imperialism mod for Civilization 3.

The actual forum game will basically consist of players vying for power and influence within the empire of choice, with the exact model likely varying depending on which civilization we choose to be. The game runs from 1895 to 1924, with each year being 13 turns.

Now which nation would we want to be, is the primary question. The colonial nations are as follows:

- Great Britain
- France
- Germany
- Lowlands
- Portugal
- Spain
- United States
- Italy
- Japan
- Scandinavia
- Balcan Nations
- Austria-Hungary
- Russia

While all the minor powers (the Latin American countries, Abyssinia, the Boers, Ottomans, Persians, Chinese, Siamese, Tibetans, etc.) are available, it goes without saying playing as them is invariably much more difficult.

I'd outline the specific ruleset as time went on, and that is why I'm here to ask: which nation would we be playing as? I myself would prefer Germany, due to being a medium-sized power with a good unit line and various opportunities for expansion. Of course I am open to suggestions.

It goes without saying not all positions are equal, and the players of the game most likely wouldn't be either; each player's starting stats would be based on the empire they'd cooperatively be managing.

My vote is either

Germany
USA
Japan
or
Italy

Forza italia! Forza italia! Forza italia! You get the point.

I wouldn't mind Japan either, I guess.

I wouldn't mind an IOT that lasts more than 5 turns.

China or Ottomans.

UK, USA or another democratic state so we can have a full on Realpolitik.

If you're not willing to do that then let's go with Germany.

EDIT: I will probably be inactive until mid-january, don't expect me to post orders or anything.
