[RPU] 1925 Onwards: Flames of War Roleplay
Credits go to all individuals who have aided me in preparing this roleplaying round, including worldwar2history, BenLundquist, and membership of The Roleplayers Union.
Consider if you will, a historical timeline in which our point of difference starts with the triple alliance and triple entente coming to the discussion table. The German Reich, retaining its monarchy only has minimal losses, holding German Angola, but being reduced to its Weimar republican shape. Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire dissolve as normal. However! An earlier stock market crash leads to an immense amount of ideological split within the earth, leading to civil wars all over the globe, Canada, America, and Brazil find themselves engulfed, while the Warlord Era continues in China, and the Russian Civil War continues endlessly. Can you find freedom in this timeline? Can you engulf the world into flames of war, or will you be cooked by its terror?

Base Rules:
Winter (December, January, February)
Spring (March, April, May)
Summer (June, July, August)
Fall (September, October, November)
1. The weapon/resource amounts must be posted on the Newspaper officially prior to the sale.
2. The weapon/resources cannot be “Loaned” to factions to be returned. All sales are final.
Example title: “The Ottoman Empire Declares War on Venice!”
Example body: “Ottoman Imperial Forces move forth to secure the island of Crete for the glory of the Sublime Porte!...
Types of Wars that can be declared:
Acquire Territory: This is the default war goal for all non-civil war nations at war. You may capture up to 6 provinces with this Wargoal.
Annexation: After a nation surrenders, this will occur if the surrendering nation is less than 6 provinces, or if World Tension has reached 100%.
Civil War: Exclusive to Nationalist/Republican Spain and all civil war factions, when fighting each other. Those using this war goal will receive the full territory.
Acquire Satellite State : Vassalizes the target nation. No provinces can be captured with this wargoal. Vassals cannot declare independence.
Install Democracy/Comintern: Converts target country into an independent democracy or a Socialist Satellite of a Socialist country.
World Tension Rules:
World Tension represents the overall level of fear and anxiety that exists among the nations of the World. The number displayed can be between 0% and 100%.
Total World Tension can be higher than 100%, but there are no additional effects beyond the 100% limit—the overflow instead acts as a "buffer" against events that decrease Tension.
The level of World Tension has several impacts on the roleplay, in particular allowing or limiting political decisions or more. Generally, the higher the World Tension, the more popular support nations have for taking belligerent actions.
Note: Civil War Factions are exempt from world tension during their civil wars. Each Civil War will generate +2 World Tension each year they continue.

Article:
Year, 1925 Spring.
(whatever Chinese Capital is)
Provincial members met today to outline the future of Kuomintang. As a shattered Chinese Dynasty has thrown each faction into turmoil through economic restraints and trade routes. The main topic was whether to negotiate through peace and follow the original US model or through war in conquer. Debate heated up to a boil.
The two sides of War and Peace argued the best way to proceed. After hours of disagreement, one member from the remote mountainous province rose. "Honor and family is our way, without honor, there is no Chinese Dynasty. Those who act unhonorable shall receive the hand of the sword,bullet and bomb." The room fell silent, All members agreed that Honor is the Chinese way.
The crowd began to chant Make Chinese Dynasty Great Again.
From this meeting, the direction seemed to become clear to all bystanders. That China shall reunite through the Honor and will of the Kuomintang families and glory will be restored.

Example Article: One I just came up with :3)
Dead, he’s dead. The leader of the KMT, and a recognized figure of what is now the Republic of China. As the first provisional president of the Republic of China, Sun was a Chinese physician, writer, philosopher, Georgist, calligrapher and grand revolutionary. As the foremost pioneer and first leader of a Republican China, Sun was referred to as the "Father of the Nation" in the Republic of China (ROC) and the "forerunner of democratic revolution" in the People's Republic of China (PRC). Sun played an instrumental role in the overthrow of the Qing dynasty, the last imperial dynasty of China during the years leading up to the Xinhai Revolution.
Looking around the room, it is packed to the brim, with a large array of officials, military officers, and some foreign observers to record the tragic loss of a young nation’s most vital leader. Since San Yat-sen’s tragic passing the country that was born from the trials and tribulations that had rocked the very foundations of the land. From the White Lotus rebellion, to the recent revolt, everything had changed.
As Chiang Kai-shek stared off into the haze of crowded people, he had a sickening feeling grow in his breast. As a close friend to a great man, he couldn’t help but feel that all of the work that the pair had put into effect to bring China back to its place as the number one superpower on earth was beginning to unravel; the fiendish politicians in his eyes, where no better than vultures waiting for one of their own to die, before pouncing on it and seeing who could get the most scrapes. Tightening his fists, he could feel his anger at the cowards, preaching false promises, and kowtowing to the foreign devils which infected the land with it’s ideologies and customs. It could be likened to the Qing regime that fell not to long ago, forcing a recurring idea to cross Chiang’s mind of a unfortunate repeating theme of weakness instead of showing strength. In the midst of his thoughts, he was pulled aside be one of his aides, whispering into his ear of a matter of great importance.
On the balcony, away from possible prying eyes and attentive ears of the gathered in the hall beyond, Chiang settles down at a small coffee table, where the aide sits opposite, under a brightly lit night sky. Once comfortable, Chiang speaks with a air of apprehension, as if already knowing the answer to his own question,
“What do you have for Shang? What news do you bring back from the capitol?”
Removing his servant cap in the presence of his benefactor, the young boy clears his throat in earnest, and hesitantly raises his head, not meeting his master’s eyes.
“Pa-Pardon the intrusion sir, but you are indeed correct, I have news from the Beiyang. They…. the… although they are aware of your leave of absence in order to mourn the passing of a great vi-vi-visionary.
Taking another breath, he continues,
“The newly appointed council that resides in Beijing has been facing issues concerning rivaling political factions in the central p-plains.”
Brows furrowed, Chiang Kai-Shek was confused. Was the matter up north of such importance that his presence was required? Indeed, even though he was of low military ranking, he had great ambitions for China as a whole, sharing many of the ideals the Sun did. A charismatic and tactical General, and fledgling politician, he knew the Campaign of the central plains would not only decide the fate of his Kuomintang party and who controlled it, but it would also decide who would control China. The beginnings of a smirk played upon Chiang’s lips, this was his moment! A sign from the heavens! He would use the Kuomintang armies that were amassed under his control, along with other “loyal” officers to the party, and use them for his own gain, to finally right the wrongs and slights he and others like him, saw as a cancer festering with no end in sight. No, he would be the one to steer his maiden nation to restored glory, and destroy anyone from getting in his way.
It is only his subserviants uneasy grunts that snaps Chiang back to reality
“S-Sir? What should I report back to H-high Command back in Peking?”
The smirk now turning into a large smile, the kind you’d see on a toddler, and not usually associate with a young military officer, he responded,
“....You may report back that I’ll gladly march north with my contingents, and let them also know….” A pause “ That the coming weeks will be filled with changes, i guarantee it….”
