1. Can someone explain me what is the table which says X to 15.5...V to 0/Dice effect? 2. What are the graphs? The Risk vs Reward ratio? Darth Nihilus , I'd like to know how you arrived at that. 3. Considering that we have a max score of 15 if I am not wrong, I think fatigue values should be halved. If I fight even for 3 consecutive pages, I'd get -2.5, which is a bit high I think. For 5 consecutive pages I'd get -4.5!? Correct me if I am wrong, but 5 pages = 0.5 x 5 = 2.5 Consecutive pages - 1,2/2,3/3,4/4,5 = 0.5 x 4 = 2 Total = 4.5 1. V,W,X,Y, and Z are placeholder variables. I'm supposed to fill them in with numbers so you can know what score corresponds to what dice bonus, but we haven't concretely decided on that yet. Right now you can have a score bonus anywhere between 0 to 15.5 (and of course -15.5 if you're really unlucky) 2. We were experimenting with using equations to model damage calculations, but this still needs modifying. The graphs basically tell you the percentage of troops you'll kill (graph 1)/lose (graph 2) (y) depending on your dice win/loss (x). Red was high-risk, black was medium, and blue was low-risk. I do think the kill rates are a little too high, but we'll have to see as the RP goes on.
3. The fatigue values should cancel out with your opponent's fatigue in theory, but this was mainly to prevent people from launching a bunch of attacks in a row while other users were offline. You could fight for 2 pages, rest one page, and then fight two pages again which would reduce your penalty from 4.5 to 3. I could change the "consecutive" penalty to -0.5 per consecutive page, after x number of pages, or a consecutive amount of posts instead. |

It's alive! 😲 A month or two ago I'd still be in, but I've reached that stage in real life where you want to prioritize other things - little things like children 😁 So please consider Italy to be leaderless. Too bad, I was going to wreck Austria 😜 Warlord247 |

Only for John Marston Greetings, dear Spanish friend,
I am afraid the French are acting against you just because you deploy your troops on your borders to defend yourself. Isn't it ridiculous? You are just protecting your borders, which is only natural.
First, I would like to explain a few things to you, if you don't mind.
My relationship with the French is a bit complicated. We used to be actively allies, though after they started coming closer to the fascists Italians and protested my and Poland's cooperation with Austria-Hungary for dividing Romania amongst us, our relationsip got complicated. I am techinically still friendly with them, but we haven't spoken for a long time.
Therefore, I then decided that we, the communists, should no longer hold back and defend ourselves against the bourgeoisie, to unite the humanity under the flag of The International, to achieve the eternal peace of the humanity under a stateles fraternity of humanity.
This meant that, as Austria-Hungary is pro-communist unlike the French, our relationship with them got better and here we are now. France is agressive against you, and if they continue to do so, they shall find us against them. I don't want things to go hostile with them, but as long as they are anti-communist, our ultimate conflict is inevitable, which I am sad as there is no peaceful solution if they keep being anti-communist.
And, your ongoing long conversations with the French is concerning (and weird, as they objected to your deployment). I thought my Austrian friend had come to a friendly point with you? But you continue talking with both sides at the same time, which is concerning. We see that the French is trying to form an alliance against Austria-Hungary (and potentially, me, but I don't know) with you and Poland, if I am not wrong, due to their correspondences with the said countries. So, I find it disappointing that you participate in such an act, if my guess is really right, and there is no other explanation anyway.
I wish only friendship with you. We the Soviet Union, are the decisive force in Europe, being the biggest country and the strongest military of the world. My one action can change the future of your country for the better, if you are on my side.
I neither know what the future shall bring, nor who shall fight against who. But no matter what happens, I shall fight for communism. If you are on this with me, then no one can stand against us. Only for Eugene V. Debs"Therefore, I then decided that we, the communists, should no longer hold back and defend ourselves against the bourgeoisie, to unite the humanity under the flag of The International, to achieve the eternal peace of the humanity under a stateles fraternity of humanity."
Whatever you say, Comrade. I shall never forget the help you gave me against the Fascist during the Civil war.
"And, your ongoing long conversations with the French is concerning (and weird, as they objected to your deployment). I thought my Austrian friend had come to a friendly point with you?"
Conversations are necessary here sir, because we are neighbours and France has an aggressive stance against, which while is sad, I can't do anything about. The current negotiations are necessary to keep the Spanish alive. You people, comrade as you mentioned, are the great powers of Europe and I don't stand a chance against any of you.
"We see that the French is trying to form an alliance against Austria-Hungary (and potentially, me, but I don't know) with you and Poland, if I am not wrong, due to their correspondences with the said countries. So, I find it disappointing that you participate in such an act, if my guess is really right, and there is no other explanation anyway."
Sad to say comrade, but I can't fight against the French due to my apparent weakness. To show that I am truly against France, I will let you in on a thing - France will try to delay the conflict by at least 5 pages to build up their strength. |

Eugene V. Debs only With France being forced to turn their troops away, now is the time to strike! As for my forces, I'll send 300,000 to Albania, 300,000 to Poland, and use the rest to rush France. I'd say with those numbers you'd need about a million or so to help with the attack, though the more the better.
Let's seize our moment Comrade!
Sincerely,
Sir Kent, King of Austria-Hungary

Only for Eugene V. Debs Comrade, you do realise that you are the strongest country in the world. Every decision you make will affect millions of people now and maybe even 10 decades later. We have just fought and won a devastating civil war, thanks to your help comrade. My people want peace. I am doomed no matter which side I pick. And war is inevitable. All I want to make sure is that my country and my people are safe. I hope you understand why I can't join your alliance comrade.
Wishing Luck, Fellow comrade
John Marston. |

Eugene V. Debs only Wait, something feels wrong. The way the Spanish talk to the French. Movements can only be done in public announcements right?

John Marston. Only for John MarstonI see, comrade. But then, what will your position in this conflict be? Surely you don't think that those capitalists shall allow you to freely exist, unless you make some type of compromise. I don't trust the French to make a fair deal with you, although I trust you.
Also, both Austria-Hungary and I have over 6 million soldiers in total. This is more than France. And most of the French troops will be away from your border, as they'll be fighting with us. And you have 600,000 soldiers, this isn't something to underestimate. You don't really have a weakness, plus it'd be even better when you have an ally (which would be me in this case, as well as Austria-Hungary). And on the contrary, you are quite powerful on your own right too. Therefore, I must ask you to reconsider one more time, if you don't mind.
But if it is indeed your final decision for now, then I will respect it, of course, comrade. |

Eugene V. Debs only Wait, something feels wrong. The way the Spanish talk to the French. Movements can only be done in public announcements right? Only for Warlord247That it does, comrade. I am currently talking with them to understand their actions, and convince them to join to us if possible, though the latter is unlikely.
Yes, only in public posts can movements be made. Therefore, I'm really starting to think that Spain is trying to play to both sides.
So far during my talks with them, they've said they don't want to fight again immediately after the civil war and that their army is too weak to be able to fight with France, and they only talk with French to keep themselves safe.
Don't you think that this explanation seems insufficient and that something feels off? They could join us it they truly wanted. Both of us combined, you and I, we are more powerful than the French army. And the French army would be busy fighting sith us, while still having to keep some forces in their colonies against a potential attack, so Spain can easily attack France's mostly undefended southern border while the latter is busy fighting us. They are just using excuses, in my opinion. |

They are just using excuses, in my opinion. only I agree, Spain's position is suspicious. However they are also desperate. They may not think logically. I say we still take the offensive.
I am going to begin the construction of a heavy fort at the Habsburg. This will allow me to attack French forces stationed their without losing entrenchment.
I'm also going to move 2 of my armies from the Italian border to my border with Albania. Once the heavy fort is built my first strike will be driving them to the see. I request a joint naval action to block all escape.
In France I'll use a mixture of Artillery, heavy fort, and bombardment to destroy the French defenses. They will break themselves on my line long before they could break the line itself. While that is happening begin to move your troops through Poland, as we original agreed upon. If they betray us we shall steamroll them.
Send a detachment of 300,000 to occupy Lithuania. Send no more than 500,000 to your Turkish border.
After the French line is defeated, we shall push through.
I shall wait for your response to make my movements.
(P.S. don't forget to count your new tanks and guns produced by your factories. I'm also fairly sure we've gone through 1 recruitment phase, so there's that too)
Sincerely,
Sir Kent, King of Austro-Hungaria |

I'd have to pass through yours even if I took the Polish route, as they have no border with France except their territory in Baltics. |

They said before they'd allow it and 2. Even with my advanced railway system it'd take you longer to travel from the balkans up than it would to travel straight through. However if you'd prefer that you can. I'll be weakening the French defense anyway |

The only reason I prefer passing through your territory is that Darth Nihulus said he wouldn't be able to return till Tuesday, as you informed before, and even though he consented our forces passsing before, he may have changed his mind since then, and he wouldn't be able to respond and/or react to us in time if I passed over his territory, if that was the case. And this would be unfair. |

With Italy bowing out of the international situation, I reposition the troops originally guarding their border. Army Groups Friedrich Julius and Kaufmann are sent to the Albanian border (873,376 troops) along with Panzer armies I-III (1,725 panzers) and Artillery battery 5 (2,000 Guns). This movement will take 3 posts (meta information for John Marston , usually troop movements for that distance wouldn't be that fast, but I invested in a major railway system throughout my country. It's not an exact science with the distance, just do what you think is right) Army Group Emil is moved to the Habsburg line (273,376 troops) along with artillery battery 1 (2,000 guns) This action takes 2 posts The newly formed VIII Panzer army, along with the newly formed "a" AA battery (575 panzers and 500 AA pieces respectively) Move to the Habsburg line as well. This also take two posts. The armies along the Habsburg line (Ärger-Dora &Ida, 1,800,000 troops) begin the construction of a heavy fort along the line. This will take one page to complete, and allows attack up to regular +4 victory without losing entrenchment. As a reminder, I have 2,300 Panzers stationed on the border, as well as 6,000 guns. Air support consists of 2,080 fighters and 1,110 bombers. The factory that researched heavy Forts is now set to research their defense, which will add a .5 defense bonus. This will take 7 pages I also move my fleet from the North sea to the Adriatic sea. This will take 17 posts uninterrupted. |
