The French Revolution (BOP)

Okay, I will be launching this. I'm apologising for the crappy quality of the map, but this game will be concentrated to Europe and North Africa anyway, so. It begins shortly before the French Revolution and will continue until the Revolutionary Wars have been won by France or the Bourbon Dynasty is restored.





RULES


Only French characters are playable. All other factions than factions within France or France itself are NPC. If you want to play as a historical character not on the list, that is possible, though all important players are needed for the game to commence. Turns are due every fourth day.



Try to roleplay!

[Raúl Duke]

I want to be one of the radicals... The one with the most radical ideas the better. I wish I could be Gracchus Babeuf (1st preference) or Jacques René Hébert.

[Saorsa]

I call Marat!

[ConcernedStudent]

I shall be Alexandre-Théodore-Victor, comte de Lameth

[Il Medico]

So, when are we gonna get this show on the road?

[Dimentio]

So, when are we gonna get this show on the road?

When we have enough players. I don't know, maybe revleft is fed up on BOP's :(

[bcbm]

i am totally the marquis de sade.

[Dimentio]

You are added

[Raúl Duke]

You are added

Did you already add me?

[bcbm]

You are added

where?

[Bilan]

I keep thinking this is the Situationist website, Bureau of Public Secrets, or BOP.

[Dimentio]

Everyone (who play) are added to the word document

[ChrisK]

How do you play? I'll be Robespierre if possible.

[Dimentio]

You send in your turn under PM's and each fourth day its stats updates. You are Robespierre.

[ChrisK]

How many more players do we need?

[Dimentio]

We basically need all the important political decision-makers, including LaFayette, Sieyés, Talleyrand, Louis XVI...

[Il Medico]

Peoples need to join this game. Emperor Titus demands it.

[Comrade Gwydion]

I would be Louis Philippe D'Orleans, but I suspect you need moderates and royalists more at this point, am I right?

[Dimentio]

Philippe d'Orleans was an important character.

[ChrisK]

Am I right in assuming that we disscus things on the forum and then pm you with our actions at the end of the turn?

[Revy]

I'll be Marie Antoinette.:cool:

[Dimentio]

You could PM me at any time of the turn. Just don't spam me. Then I cry.

[ChrisK]

Then I shall make thee cry!

[Dimentio]

I have written every assignant up on the sheet.

[Saorsa]

My name is Marat. I live in a sewer and have a terrible complexion.

[rum sodomy the lash]

I'll take Napoleon

[Dimentio]

You are in ^ ^

[ChrisK]

How many more characters till we start?

[Dimentio]

The king and maybe Talleyrand or Siéyes.

[Saorsa]

Come on guys, join up. It'll be fun!

[ChrisK]

I could also play the King. It would be contradictory playing. We'll call it role-playing dialectically.

[Dimentio]

Yes... but no. One player one character. :p

[ChrisK]

:D

[Saorsa]

What's happening with this?

[bcbm]

yeah seriously, i want to start whipping and sodomizing and desecrating.

[Dimentio]

We'll need three more players. Then we'll start.

[Livid]

Sieyes plox

[Revy]

A day in the life of Marie Antoinette:

Louis: Happy birthday, Marie my love. I have this cake baked special for you.
Marie: Cake? Who do you take me for? A common fool?
Louis: Do not talk to your King that way. Don't make me go Henry the VIII on you...
Marie: Oh shut up you would never want to be without me.
Louis: Are you going to eat the cake or not? Or should I set it out for the commoners to eat?
Marie: Let them eat cake! I am trying to watch my figure. I want bacon!
Louis: Bacon? Are you mad? But that has so much fat!
Marie: And cake has sugar, the worst kind of carbs.
Louis: But bacon is hardly better.
Marie: Jesus Christ, Louis, you really are behind on the times. Have you never heard of low-carb? Sugar is bad, fat is good. Bacon is healthy especially for my beautiful skin.
Louis: *facepalm* Fine. You don't have to eat your own cake, I'll order some bacon.
Marie: You know, Louis, sometimes I wonder if you are a vegetarian.
Louis: How would you dare accuse me of such a Jacobin trait?
Marie: You just seem so sullen lately. So sickly and worn out and tired. You should get checked for anemia. And you objected to my love of bacon.
Louis: Oh, look at Dr. Marie the Bacon Lover, giving me the diagnosis, I bet this kind of medical breakthrough would make for a great play. They can call it "Antoinette" and have you as the rude insufferable "expert" you are. It would be about all your efforts to diagnose medical problems using information you pulled out of your derriere. Maybe I am sullen and tired because my people are rising against me? Did you ever consider that?
Marie: That actually would be a great show. And I am a wonderful actress. Oh, Louis, you're just not charming enough. They see you and think "rigid old elitist". Maybe you should step aside and let me rule and see how a real professional does it?
Louis: In your dreams.
Marie: Is the bacon ready yet?
Louis: *sigh*

[Il Medico]

Someone be the king already.

[Dimentio]

Maybe we should ask someone in the OI?

[Dimentio]

For those who are too impatient to wait, I have three civilisations which are free in this game:

http://amauvala.freeforums.org

[bcbm]

i don't want to be a civilization, i want to be the marquis de sade. sheesh i might as well just start an irl roleplay at this rate.

now where did i put that whip

[Comrade Gwydion]

For those waiting, Philippe is hosting a High Tea party with british cookies in the palace!

He'll be arriving himself after recovering from the foodpoisoning he got from eating to old saussages for breakfast last week.

Oh, his friend the Prince of Wales is also coming

[Lyev]

I'll play as someone, but I don't really know how these things work.

[Dimentio]

You write what you do in PM to me ^^

So, who are you?

[Lyev]

You write what you do in PM to me ^^

So, who are you?I'm Lyev, nice to meet you.

Seriously, I don't know, pick someone nice for me.

Edit: what does "BOP" stand for?

[Lyev]

Ok, I'll be the King.

[Il Medico]

Edit: what does "BOP" stand for?
Balance of Power

[El Rojo]

id play, but im oft away from the internet. how often does one have to post?

who is left hmmm?

gimme like the 2nd estate or something, maybe

[Saorsa]

You'd need to sign in at least once every day or two.

[ChrisK]

How about NPC's controlled by Dimentio? Just have them act in a historically accurate manner.

[Dimentio]

I apologise for not doing anything as of yet, but I've got lots of work the following weeks.

[ChrisK]

It was not meant as a criticism, just a suggestion. And no problem, I completely understand.
