All for using old stats, but several factors must be touched up on.1. Blockades are too effective.2. The Chinese army is too easily modernized and China is too centralized. 3. Britain's army is overly good. 4. A distinction between home and colonial pops.5. Literacy rate and prestige must matter.

Duly noted.

All please join, if you wish our IRC channel #wir_1861, as can be found on irc.coldfront.net.

Ah. Fair enough.I thought you were just being cautious and giving new players more out-of-the-way countries, which would have been understandable too. But I would have vouched for Snow being a good-enough player to have Denmark, or at least Ethiopia.EDIT: Snow is not a WiR player, but I've roleplayed with him elsewhere and he's not bad.

Snow's choice specifically was not dictated by the stats, but by the fact that I wanted there to be a Chinese player to balance the Japanese player. I was actually quite disturbed by the fact we weren't going to have a Qing player; as I feel that is one of the more important positions to have filled.

Some very interesting decisions there, not gonna lie. I figured Byrd would be the best choice for the US given how knowledgeable he is with it, especially in this period. May I also ask why some people got their third choice even though they had no one contesting them for their first? Just curious.

If I am to be honest? So that we can, as far as possible, recycle stats from Mk I and get this ball rolling ASAP.

So... Definitely too late to try signing up for this?

We theoretically have two slots left. List what nations you want, and you may or may not get in.

If I'm Brazil, then it's going to be a lame and lonely WiR..

Well, if you end up as Brazil, you can always take a dive into hard Imperialism and eat your neighbours.

Or try to ^-^

A complete list, please.

At some point, I will have your nation's leader randomly burst into flames.

I've submitted my recommendations to MO, he will check it against his own suggestions. Assigning nations is, after all, a collaborative effort between the GMs. They will be up, at the latest, sometime tomorrow.

Going to toss up a list anyways and hope that I may get. Perhaps they don't enjoy certain peoples attitudes and I will luck out, rofl.1. Sweden-Norway2. Argentina3. BavariaEdit: They're all nations that nobody picked as number one anyways, so at least there is that.

You're Argentina. Congratulations.

Bullshit.

Also, Dutch, pls keep us informed on that game. I'd love to see Crisis games get a new lease on life here.
