HoI2: MP Roleplay event

[unmerged(35377)]

Hello,

I don't know if this has been suggested before, but would anyone be interested in doing a HoI2: Doomsday Multiplayer (single country) Role Playing weekly game?

The idea is that multiple people (as many as want to play) join a game, all playing a single country, and then each player role plays his character and acts accordingly.

The various positions could be:
Head of State: Sets goals of country and policy.
Head of Government: Chief of staff to all ministers. (maybe nobody will play this, as it doesn't seem useful.)
Foreign Minister: Conducts and manages all diplomacy, including trade.
Armaments Minister: Manages the building and production.
Head of Intelligence: Conducts all intelligence operations.
Chief of Staff: Coordinates all military operations.
Chief of Army: Supervises and directs the Army.
Chief of Navy: Supervises and directs the Navy.
Chief of AirForce: Supervises and directs the Air Force.

Historian: Someone to keep an AAR.

Commanders: If for some reason, enough people take interest, additional players could either serve as staff to ministers or military commanders. Theatre commanders, Army group commanders, Army commanders, Core Commanders
or even Division Commanders.

The game would begin with a meeting of the goverment leadership, the cheif of state would outline all policy goals and aims. Then the game would start, and all RP would be conducted via IM.

If enough people wanted to play, and we had a good deal of commanders, we would start in 1939, to give them something to do. If a fewer number wanted to play, (3-5) we would start in 1936.

Does anyone have any interest in dedicating 3 hours a week at a regular time for something like this? I don't think something like this has been done before, and if you could think of any other interesting positions, or rules of procedure... please post them.

Yeah, you can "share" country.

 

[unmerged(35377)]

yeah, you can share a country. So obviously we'd try to pull mature people... who wouldn't interfere with each others designated roles.

Any ideas on roles, jobs or problems?

I guess the complete lack of interest means this isn't a very good idea.

check.

JSlade, you can't expect response within single day. Be patient

But I think there won't be enough players to fill all positions. I'd propose following aggregation:

Person #1 (A): Head of Government (covers roles of Head of State, Head of Government, Foreign Minister, Armaments Minister and Head of Intelligence)
Person #2 (B): Chief of Navy (commander of navy, marines, naval bombers and maybe some fighters allocated to protection of navy)
Person #3-n (C): Commanders of Army Groups (with own divisions and air squadrons)

If there is enough players, type B role could be splitted (for big navies it'd be just like with army group for type C). Type C would get allocated some divisions and airfleets and directed by person A to fulfull some orders with these troops (like protect the Coast, invade Italy, mantain northern part of Eastern Front, etc.). Person A could have some troops under his command too, so he can play around a little when there is nothing to do on diplomatic, intelligence or production field.

I played this kind of game once (The "Pass the Save AAR" co-perative MP Game Thread, with AAR's in Diaries from a worldwar: Germany Co-op MP AAR). It can be fun
