Crumbling Reich: A Weimar Republic Game (Signup Thread)

[NewYorkExpress]

I am not blind to the decline in activity we've unfortunately suffered (another player messaged me a few days ago announcing he'd be leaving the game for a few weeks). While I believe this game has been remarkably successful, and certainly beyond my expectations, and has even changed the way historical games can function, we've been left with only 3-4 active players.

While on the one hand I owe to it those who wish to continue to do so, I can't continue as if nothing is happening.

Thoughts?

If I weren't playing in another election game that's draining my attention on this forum, I'd consider reentering.

Someone like Kaiser Wilhelm II or Ludwig Beck would have been attractive to me, at least in theory.

Of course, at this point I can't commit the time to two games at once, unfortunately.

I would happily admit new players, but I don't want to give out players that people have spent months refining into unique interesting characters.

Who's left and which characters do they have?

I'm aware of Lumine and Lettow-Warbeck, but I'm not sure of any others.

Depending on who it is, I could step in on temporary basis while you look for someone to take over on a permanent basis.

I'd love to have a Kaiser Wilhelm in game. Could make things interesting.

I'll think about it.

As I said, I'm already playing in another election game at present that is sucking up most of my energy on the forum.

[GoTfan]

We could open up prominent Reichswehr officers?

[KaiserDave]

RGM had the unique idea of suggesting of he managing the entire Reich government (not as Hugenberg, but managing the entire government entities), Devout Centrist obviously managing the KPD and GotFan the SPD

For the record,  I would love to play the pretender to the throne as soon as it is available.

Totally! He is increasingly relevant! Do you want Wilhelm II or Crown Prince Wilhelm?

I was under the impression we were managing our respective parties.

I'd be okay with RGM managing the Govt if Dereich consents to that

You and GotFan’s situations wouldn’t change

Any word from Dereich on this?

[Continential]

I'll come back if needed.

No word....

And while @Dereich has been AWESOME coming in to take FvP he has not been very active since late August.

So I assume we'll go ahead with the plan?

[NewYorkExpress]

Not that I'm thrilled about playing two games at once, but I can also sub as Von Papen as well, at least temporarily.

Totally! He is increasingly relevant! Do you want Wilhelm II or Crown Prince Wilhelm?

Who is the claimant exactly?

Who is the claimant exactly?

Wilhelm II is the legitimate claimant but he is widely rejected by liberals and foreign powers

Crown Prince Wilhelm has become a more likely pragmatic pick

His children are also considered

Somehow I'm not certain a member of Stalhelm with avowed far-right sympathies would exactly be welcomed by liberals either.

Yeah, but when compared to the former Kaiser, he probably seems like a lesser evil to them.

There is no "Yeah, but . . ." after that point. The Crown Prince was anti-democratic and illiberal with avowed far-right sympathies and had wanted to run as the right wing candidate in 1932 and twice met with Hitler in 1926 and 1932.

There is no "Yeah but". None. Nada. Zip.

What I obviously meant was that if the Monarchy gets a restauration (such as by that referendum you proposed), the right-wing Crown Prince is better than the Kaiser who lost the Great War and would lead to a mobilization by France...

My goals with the referendum are beyond the understanding of any mere mortal.

[Devout Centrist]

Gentlemen, these disputes can only be solved in the political arena! Perhaps we should get back to the game?

[RGM2609]

Given that Dereich has been inactive for some time now and the game can not start again without a Chancellor, I would be open to taking on the role of Franz von Papen shall everyone here agree. This combined with a new claimant should be enough to restart it to a degree.
