Preview Thread: TNESII - Et In Arcadia Ego

[conehead234]

Make my backup Italy.

 

[Shadowbound]

As I'm competing against Justo, I'd like to confirm Bengal as my backup to Tver.

 

[North King]

The Uighurs and the Tibetans were vassals of the Tang, so that still counts.

Vassal =/= Chinese. Moreover, the Tibetans eventually fought against the Tang and were part of their downfall.

The Yue/Annam have been part of quite a few dynasties, including the Ming.

I know that. They still don't consider themselves Chinese.

Also, Yue =/= Annam, Annam is a subset of the larger group.

 

[alex994]

The Yue comment part is kind of iffy North King. There are significant populations of Yue in Guangdong and Guangxi provinces who do indeed consider themselves "Chinese"; while it can't be said that all Yue consider themselves Chinese, it would be reasonable to say that a majority of Yue in China consider themselves Chinese.

But please, leave the part about the Tibetans and Uighurs out of this thread.

 

[bombshoo]

Applying for Golden Horde with a back up of Ethiopia or Norway depending on stats.

 

[Adrogans]

Make my backup the Kingdom of Denmark. Thanks.

 

[Thlayli]

Adrogans, would you consider taking Denmark as your first choice? I consider it more important than Iraq in the broader scope of things.

As I'm competing against Justo, I'd like to confirm Bengal as my backup to Tver.

Unnecessary. You are confirmed as Tver.

Justo, confirmed as Poland. Alex, confirmed as Chernigov.

I'm not going to confirm any (more) Great Powers until I have a good (3+) crop of applicants for all of them.

Oh, and Azale? I remember those turns that you didn't send orders for Austria in TNESI. I was nice then. Do it again and there will be BLOOD.

 

[Azale]

I definitely remember sending for that last turn

 

[Adrogans]

Fine, switch me to Denmark primary and Iraq backup if you'd rather have players in Europe.

 

[Thlayli]

Pfft. If you were applying for Adana or the Jadfdids, I wouldn't be shuffling you.

 

[Thlayli]

I definitely remember sending for that last turn

Just wanted you to know 'cause I gave you a Great Power for freebies.

 

[Ninja Dude]

Trained by the Flanders. Hehehe. Okay that's fine, I'll cut it down.

Xin Ming and New Albion CONFIRM'D.

What's so funny about the Flanders? It was mentioned in the original thread.

Anyways, thank you for confirming my application.

 

[Shadowbound]

Rawr. Universal conscription. Grr.

 

[conehead234]

If you want more applicants, I'll apply for Egypt also.

It's not about who considers themselves Chinese, it's about who the Chinese consider part of their rightful domain

 

[Adrogans]

Okay well put me wherever you want in the middle east. I just want to play as the premise of this looks good. I'm easy, or so she said.

 

[North King]

It's not about who considers themselves Chinese, it's about who the Chinese consider part of their rightful domain

Tibet is not included in this field, sorry.

 

[Kraznaya]

The Ming practice of claiming sovereignty over Tibet (which they, admittedly, did not have) is well documented.

One dynasty, after the PoD. Thousands of years of history. You take your pick.
