I've been thinking of TTL Ottoman government. We already know that the Pashas are leading component of the regime, but since in TTL Young Turks were continuators of Abdul Hamid's reformist course, I think I can assume that several RL Young Turks are now playing important roles. And, perhaps, some RL founders of Republic, like Kemal or Inonu.

Secondly, given that there is no breakup of the empire, and with all the emphasis on multinationalism, I guess we can assume that several figures from post-Ottoman Arab states getting into the circles of power. Just as, perhaps, some people from Armenia and Azerbaijan, that otherwise would gain the prominence in the USSR.

That would be a fair assumption, yes. You are free to use historical Young Turks if necessary. I'm not going to extend by research to Armenia, Azerbaijan and such other places, but if you have any ideas on people you want to use, do let me now.

Yes, I'm about to do some checking on Arab/Armenian/Azeri figures to use.

Lumine, it hasn't been mentioned, but do I still have this enclave in Morocco? (I don't think the Ottomans would give it up after winning the war).

My classmates decided to go on strike despite the university as a whole saying no, so I've spent some time trying to control my anger. Results will come, after I've calmed myself down.

No rush. Just take your time, friend. You're already doing a titanic job here.

If I may make a suggestion to make the game running more efficient. Let's institute a time frame during which posters may post or send PMs, so Lumine can have additional time just to focus on processing things.

Normally I'd agree, but this turn has been a bit slow for some players (several have not sent anything), so I'd be wary of putting a limit in the current context.

Well, it should be done in future, so a few players won't just derail the game.

I'm not pointing on anybody, just saying that in the future if someone doesn't post, well, then it's too bad.

The Chinese situation is... interesting.

Btw, I'm actually impressed that 7 "volunteer" divisions were deployed already.

In this universe, it's China that keep us all behind Wink

Seriously though, given all the mess you have to deal with, I'm hardly surprised it's taking time.

Sorry for that.

Oops. I should have checked here before posting. Would you like me to delete my actions?

If possible I;d like to keep mine for the next round to avoid typing it again.

Don't worry, you can leave it there and discuss matters via PM if you wish. Just don't go overboard or send orders, xD

I've sent all I needed. That will be all, unless some asshole decides to threat my interests XD

Just to clarify, updated Ottoman General Governates:

I know it's not 100% precise, but just to give an idea.



Green: Anatolia
Red: Azerbaijan
Blue: Syria
Yellow: Mesopotamia
Orange: Palestine and Kurdistan (two separate divisions, just added wrong colors)

The Ottoman Morocco is an integral part of the Empire, but is rules directly by the central government.

I wonder when we can get a glimpse at the Bulgarian front.

(Also, waiting for the official response from France regarding oil talks)

Did my war moves not go through? Or are we just waiting?

I don't see results for Bulgaria as well, so I guess it's just a preliminary info.

I know, xD

Sorry, really, but yesterday afternoon I had the bright idea to look at the BBC coverage of the EU Referendum... and I ended up watching 12 hours straight of insanity.

Yet another damage done by Cameron...

There.

Took longer than I wanted, but I added a nice little cliffhanger to keep you busy and buried in plots in my absence. Don't destroy the world while I'm gone!

That early in the game? No way dude XD
