Simulation of the world of 1919

In June or July I intend to run a text-based, turn-based simulation set in the year 1919, in which participants join as leaders of countries, parties, rebellions, armed forces, cabinet members, or just particular individuals.

The ability to reserve a role in the game will open up on April 15.

Here's the (currently pretty barren) forum area for the game: http://eregime.org/forum/5001898/

As you might guess it will be possible to play as Democratic politicians (Wilson, FDR, etc.)

I could simulate the World Series a bit, if a bunch of players would be interested.

Someone could be Arnold Rothstein and.... be a pretty bad human being, I guess.

many years ago (I think the dinosaurs still were creating traffic problems). Having been in historical board gaming for a few years, the Professor decided I would be better in a support role and not as a participant so I didn't get to play. I guess when I mentioned Diplomacy he thought I would perhaps have an advantage.

I will check the link and see what it's about.
