I have not seen one in the while.

As for the start of this I think that January 1915. I think will be good.

So how does this intially sound?

There shall be two thread with one for the west and one in the east. These fronts shall be cordinated between them and there shall be one supreme commander for each.

As for playable nations British Empire, German Empire, France and colonies, Austrian-Hungarian Empire, Italy, United States, Ottoman Empire, Serbia, Greece, maybe more later on.

The battlefields shall be ones of areas and we shall be using old pictures of the battlefields from them and if not aviable I shall use google to find one.

As well, the battles shall be rped and me or another mod will calculate causlties.

Added to the intial rping there shall be internal economics and they shall be determined on the rps for the intial.

Nation:
Allies:
British Empire:???
French and colonies: Corbournne
Greece
Italy: Bautzen
Serbia: Uldarious
Russian Empire: East Lithuania
Romania: Waldenburg 2

Central Powers:
Austria-Hungary: No Taxes
Bulgaria: Haneastic
German Empire: The Scandinvans
Ottoman Empire: Zhyolatska

Neutral:
United States: [NS]ICCD-Intracircumcordei
Brazil
China
Japan
Persia:
Italy: Bautzen

Warning due to my fears of random nations popping up I shall have delete any nation that appears on the forum and it not on the list from now, but if you ask it is an entirely different story if you want it added.

Looking at the mod ruling for E20 this shall be a thread for registiring we should put this on the invision board or something, but since I do not how to make an appealing one can someone do it for me?

Is it going to be WWI or like, a WWI world, so other nations could come in, India could rebel etc.
Is it a re telling or a ffa where the Germans could win, or the Russians could have, for example, the Revolution never happens and Russia defeats Germany becoming the dominant power in Europe.

As well, for now I do not want to go into a truly globe spanning war.

Italy only joined the allies late in the war, and it was originally leaning towards the central powers so I dont think its completely correct for you to insist on my being an ally, because in 1915 I was neutral.

So I will put you as neutral since you pointed out something not well known.:p

To point out if I am right they did not declare war until late spring and only did so after a long debate.
