I see it's alive... Athens, Corinth or Persia... can I play as a Persian Satrap? Or perhaps even the Persian Emperor...

@Louis Dabout If you check the first post, I'm playing as the Persians - for balance and so forth.

Korinth would be fine, as would Athens (though you might need to discuss that), but generally most things would be fine.

Oh, of course someone makes an NRP of one of my favorite wars in the Classical world RIGHT in the middle of NaNoWriMo.

I can't join for obvious reasons, but best of luck to y'all!

Is this a telling of the war or an alternate history thing?

@UltikanaRe Think of a Total War campaign I.E. it will begin with the same alliance etc, but can go whatever way it will. If I wanted a retelling, I'd read a book. ;)

Wonderful. I will sign on as either Athens or Sparta, preferably Sparta. I am well-versed in Greek history, though I may have to do some readings. The hardest part for all of us will be the Nation Sheet, but the posts are pretty much organic I suppose.

Basically Sven, without making a definite decision thus far, claimed either Sparta or Athens right at the beginning of this thread; ya'll may well have to sort it out between yourselves.

@UltikanaRe@Jbcool My first preference is Sparta, and then Athens. Though that is not clear in my first post, you will have to decide for us who gets what.

@UltikanaRe Any chance you'd settle on another polis or nation/kingdom?

Pretty much does have to be Athens or Sparta, though. I will concede Sparta, since I did not claim claim it originally, but not Athens.

You both seem to want Athens, how about rival political factions within the democratic goverment of Athens?

On the other hand, if Sven is alright with it, you could always be one of the two Spartan kings.

Just spitballin' here.

@Louis Dabout@UltikanaRe@Sven the Silent@MetalLover@ArenaSnow@TheSage

Is everyone still here and interested, say now or forever hold your peace?

Ultikan and Louis, how would you feel about co-oping - at least initially? I'm going for an actual historical solution to this - having rival political factions in the Athenian Assembly - but will you two be willing to follow it?

Sven, you'd best be good with Sparta, I don't like the idea of handing one of the two major powers to just anyone; you can assure me that it'll get the attention it deserves?

Interest is present-ish.
I was not too interested in a co-op, seeing as I had hoped to use my actual knowledge of the war to see what could be done to actually halt the decline of Athens. I suppose it -might- work...

@Jbcool Actually, now reading that, that sounds much for fun than a random assembly-goer. I forgot that detail. If Sven is alright with it, that would work most likely much better as a co-op.

@UltikanaRe Firstly, what are you talking about?

Secondly, you'd be the head of a political party, not a random assembly goer. This would allow you to act as a Strategos or Navarch for Athens, as well as other options.

THESE are things people should think about.

Lastly, although I've no idea what you're on about, you'd need to discuss it with Sven.

Political Parties in Athens (.edu)

I could be Strategos or Navarch, yes, but I would ultimately be privy to the sway of an assembly I do control in any sense.
