[quote=SyrianHamster] So we seem to be at some level of agreement. Hypothetically, how would we go about making something that could cater to the average joe, and the average professor? [/quote] 1) Take up the individual character offer made in Precipice of War 2) coordinate character to match up with the Grand Arbiters of Spain, Ethiopia, China, or the UK (optional: Russia whose lore has been sort of adopted by the China player until a fitting guardian arrives) 3) Fill out app 4) ??? 5) Profit from having war fix in fictional wars in fictional operations in nonfictional locations with a fictional alternate history well beyond a single point of deviation. Or do Mercs right. But all mercs rot away and die because no one can into them.
