Look Out, Sir! Revised (Map Game)



General
The year is 1912, before World War I. Can you change world history forever? You can certainly try.

The Old Game
The original Look Out, Sir! Was based in an alternative World War 2, in which Italy had took the Balkans, and North Africa by themselves. This lead to Germany's men being stockpiled for Operation: Barbarossa, and quickly defeating the Soviets. The Japanese also won Midway, keeping their fleet intact.

The game began fine, but a war in South America resulted in multiple countries from around the world fighting for Brazil. The USA (somehow) kept losing all battles in the Pacific, and had rebellions popping up everywhere. The inactiveness of some players and implausibility of others made the game unplayable, and died about a week in.

Rules
1. No implausibility.

2. Each turn is a half year.

3. Turns begin at UTC 00:00

4. Don't edit past posts.

5. Resistance in countries will be determined with Random.org. A person must roll between 1-10. A 5 or below results in revolts, and a 10 or above results in no revolts.

6. You may only control one nation, but may release nations as puppet states.

7. Puppets act as allies, and must help the nation they are a puppet of at all times.

8. Moderators have to ability to do plausible, and fair events for any and every country.

9. Moderators decide what technology countries can research. This depends on the country's current economical state in game, and technological state in game and in our timeline.

10. You can not switch countries unless yours has been annexed.

11. The game ends in the current year.

12. New players can start the year they joined.

13. A page for your nation is strongly recommended. Be sure to include military strength and population count.

14. Moderators determine what is plausible and what is not.

15. Moderators designated as mapmakers are the only ones allowed to edit the map.

16. A map will be made every year.

17. A nation historically with one side will stay with that side until they choose to leave by the minimum year of 1953. Leaders cannot leave. Example: Italy can leave the Axis beginning in 1953, but Germany may not. If one side is defeated, the winning side will determine the outcome of the defeated side.

18. Nations designated as 'Empires' control only their mainland, so Britain controls only Britain, but they're colonies world wide are classified as puppet states for them.

19. Colonial empires of nations conquered will become apart of the country who conquered the home country. Example: France conquers Netherlands, Dutch colonies become apart of France.

20. Nations classified as 'major power's' cannot be taken without a vote from the moderator staff whether or not a player can take it. Moderators are an exception to this rule.

21. You can only build up two of these things at a time: infrastructure, military, economy.

'''We need someone to play as China and France to get this game started, just saying. Blocky858 (talk) 19:42, April 13, 2014 (UTC)'''

'''China has been replaced by Austria-Hungary after a majority vote to do so. France will be controlled by moderators until someone chooses it. The game will start on the 15th of April, at 0:00 UTC. Blocky858 (talk) 00:06, April 15, 2014 (UTC)'''

OK, glad you took my advice.Whipsnade (talk) 18:44, April 15, 2014 (UTC) 

Game
Game will begin as soon as all major powers are taken.

1914
Charles Lindbergh fly's the first airplane flight across the Atlantic, as nations are finding interest in planes for warfare

'''With racism rising in the southern parts of the USA, smaller groups of civil rights groups appear in the northern areas, disgusted by the intolerance towards the African-American ethnic group. Although numerous, they do not achieve much. '''

More Mod Events...


 * Argentina We improve northern and central infrastructure slightly. We hold a urban literacy campaign. In 1914, Argentina's economy was based on agricultural exports, mainly of grain and beef. Sheep and cattle are adored as a commodity and we expand ranches. Grain is also expanded slightly. We say we don't want to get involved in any non-Latin American wars and go neutral about the European rivalry.


 * Brazil: We ask the Ottomans for a alliance since they have most of the world's oil. We also ask Italy for an alliance since they control most of the trade in the Med sea. Lastly we ask Rusiia for an alliance. Our nation increases out military and navy. Also we upgrade our ports. Timber and Agriculture are our top industries. The boarder control increases it's troops on our southern boarder, just incase something happens. We look up to the three nations above us, we want their land.


 * Ottoman Empire Dip: We decline the alliance with Brazil because an alliance with Russia will deeply oppose the Ottoman views.
 * Ottoman Empire: We decide that we should drill for oil in the coast of the Arabian Sea. The Sultan announces that if we would like to extend our sphere of influence to Northern Africa, we will have to get them to oppose their current occupiers. The Sultan also says that any rebellions on the Arabian Peninsula are unacceptable, and will be punished. We offer a defence pact to the German Empire, as we both have similar interests in economic and diplomatic views.
 * German Dip: We accept the defence pact.
 * Brazilian Dip: I was looking for a trade alliance.
 * OE Dip We agree
 * United States of America: We begin building ships fro the navy, but the army is not improved much, but new rifles are issued. We declare neutrality in any overseas crisis, and begin building housing for many people in the nation. Jim crow laws continue in the South, and many southern whites feel that blacks are inferior to whites. In the North, however, there is much sympathy for the blacks. Charles Lindburgh is praised as a hero by the US citizens, and debate begins over which new state should be made: Alaska or Puerto Rico. People begin moving east into California and other areas.
 * Venezuela:  The white/pardos social divide is still in place, and little effort is made to improve the poverty and illiteracy of the nation. General and President Juan Vicente Gómez focuses instead on exploiting the country's resources for his friends, family and business partners. We begin to use the widespread telegraphic system in Venezuela to curtail the possibility of caudillo uprisings. Oil exploration projects that began in 1907/08 continue, with small wells popping up in few locations, but no major discoveries are made.
 * Russia: It is decided to invest more into the Navy, to match those of German and Great Britain.
 * Austria-Hungary: We work on our infrastructure, especially in Bosnia and Croatia. Multiple Catholic churches are built in Bosnia. The nation invests in the wood industry and fishing industry in the coastal regions, thus working on the economy.
 * Great Britain: As tensions in Europe rise, we begin to look else where for alliances. The US is offered a NAP, and Brazil, China and Argentina are offered full alliances. We encourge the other Entente nations to do the same (France and Russia). MIlitary and infrastrucutre are built up, with particular focus on our navy. We call upon the Irish rebels to the negotiation table, should they come, the are granted a final offer of Domain of the Empire. We call France and Russia to the negotiation table about what to do in the event of war with Germany. In a seperate meeting, we ask Japan what to do about Germany's Pacific colonies. As tensions run high in Ireland, the Royal army moves in to occupy Belfast and Dublin. Fearing that Britain's attention is too far spread, the King enters talks to help alliviate this issue.
 * British Raj: As a push for greater self rule continues. The British construct naval bases in Southern India to deal with piracy. The military is improved and trade is increased, allowing for a larger economic development in the coming age. The training of irregulars/recurits begins.
 * Australia (all colonies on the island):  Naval bases are constructed in the north in the event of war with Germany. Infrastrucutre improves.
 * New Zealand: Naval bases are construcuted on the northern islands in case of war with Germany.
 * Bhutan and Nepal: Military/Economy Improve.
 * South Africa: Construction of new buildings improves the infrastrucutre. An army of 80,000 are stationed in case of rebelion. Military improves.
 * North and South Rhodesia: Military and economy improve.
 * Domain of Canada, Belize, and other North American Colonies ( Canada is still open if one desires): Away from Many of the tensions of Europe and the Pacific, these colonies improve infrastructure and economy, increasing trade across the empire.
 * Newfoundland: Serving as the gateway for British North American trade, The UK constructs military bases to protect British economic intrests. Economy improves, as foregin and domestic  trade is comman in these ports.
 * Gold Coast and Sierra Leon: Military/Economy improve.
 * Nigeria; Military and infrastrcture improve. Military Bases are constructed along the border with German Cameroon.
 * Kenya and Uganda: Military and infrastrucutre improve. Military Bases are built along the German Colonial border.
 * Sudan and Somalilland: Military and Economy improve.
 * Hong Kong: Military and economy improve. Naval bases are construcuted to protect British Intrests.
 * British Oman, Kuwait, and Qatar: Military and Economy improve.
 * Argentine D: We politly refuse the alliance and stay neatral, but the British are offered 20% cheeper than normal beef meat if they agree to invest in some new meat prosessing works in the provinces of Chubut and Santa Fe. We offer a NAP to Brazil, Bolivia, the USA and the British untill Europe calms down again.
 * British Dip: We accept the NAP, but will only accept the beef offer if this is a deal exclusive to Britan.
 * Argentine D: Agreed.
 * Liberia was an American client state, not a Britsh colony in 1914.
 * My bad, ment for that to say Sierra Leon


 * Siamese D.: We request to purchase the Shan states so that we can be reunited with our countrymen.
 * British Dip: the King poletily declines this offer but is willing to reconsider this offer in the future. The British do ask for an alliance and offer to aid in Naval development if the alliance is accepted.
 * Siam agrees.


 * Siam: The King, percieved as too foreign-influenced and weak, loses control of the government as a party of reactionary army officers seizes control. They order elections, write a constitution, and create a legislature, resulting in the election of the newly formed Social Democratic Party. The king remains as a figurehead. Siam begins to aggressively modernize its economy, constructing industry and transportation routes to increase the countries economic capacity. The country modernizes quickly, follwoign the policies of the post-Meiji Japanese governemnt to become a modern, industrialized economy. As a result, industrial capacity triples. With its new wealth, Siam requests to purchase the rebeelious and poor colony of Laos from France. Mods?
 * Completely plausible, as France had trouble controlling Indo-China, and wasn;t really in the best economic state at this time. I'd like for a second mod opinion. SwankyJ (talk) 22:28, April 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * Too much land I think, but if the war starts I think France would want to sell it.
 * Laos was really poor; it only produced 1% of Indochinas exports. In 1910 I think there were only 600 French in the country.Krasnoyarsk (talk) 22:45, April 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * They Won't give it up until they need some money in the Great War. Hasn't started yet, pretty soon. 

'''It was mostly humid jungle with only a few roads and towns. It was very under-developed back then.Whipsnade (talk) 00:14, April 16, 2014 (UTC)'''
 * Germany: We continue to produce more naval ships to match the Royal Navy of Britain. The army continues to expand.

1914.5
WONT BE HERE BY 1:00 UTC PUTTING UP EVENTS AND MY MOVE

''' The Tampico Affair occurs. The United States occupies Veracruz. Mexico cuts diplomatic relations with the United States due to the Ypiranga Incident  and the Tampico Affair. The Mexican Revolution begins shortly afterword. '''

''' The Home Rule Act of 1914 is presented to the British Parliament. '''

''' Franz Ferdinand, Archduke of Austria and his wife Sophie are assassinated in Sarajevo by young Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip. '''

' The RMS Empress of Ireland'' sinks. It is the largest Canadian maritime accident in peacetime with over 1,000 lost. '''

'''For the record, please look on Wikipedia for major events. Some events may be implausible due to in-game reasons so make sure to check the game if there is anything regarding it. Thank you. Blocky858 (talk) 02:30, April 16, 2014 (UTC)'''


 * Ottoman Empire We continue to build our military and our economy. The sultan finds interest in planes for warfare and messaging. So he contacts British and German plane building company's for parts. We send troops to the the colonial rebellions to defeat them and to keep them under control. SECRET: We ask AH and Germany for an alliance.
 * ​German Dip: We agree to the alliance.
 * Argentina:The OTL 1912 political- Law 8871, known as the "Sáenz Peña Law", comes in to force in 1914. It reforms the Argentine electoral system, making the vote secret, universal and compulsory for males over 18; so effectively ended fraudulent rule of the nation's oligarchy. The cut price beef deal with the British is honored.They are toto upgraded our few meat processing units in Chubut, Santa Fe and Entre Ríos Provinces as part of the deal. Tucumán province's roads are improved slightly. The year long work starts on 4 lesser sloops of war and 2 monitors to patrol our coastline for the time being. Long turm neutralty is to be maintained. They are based on plans akin to-

 * Argentina is concerned over any future break down of commerce or any raids on it's beef and wheat industries.
 * United States of America: We continue to maintain neutralty, and attempt to find a peaceful solution to the Ypiranga Incident. Naval expassion continues, and we build 2 new capital ships, the USS Michigan and USS Jefferson. Both are deployed for the atlantic, and we begin being more open about trade. Immagration from other nations sees the Ku Klux Klan begin gaining support in the South, and mounting raids upon Immagrents in the US. The federal Government tries to keep the peace, but it is half hearted.
