1912 - A Collaborative Timeline
Welcome to 1912! This is a collaborative timeline that goes year-by-year, starting in 1912.
I've looked through the forums, and it seems like although there haven't been much collaborative timelines, there are no established rules against them. If this isn't well-received, or is somehow against the rules of the forum, then I'm fine with letting it die, but I'd figure I'd at least try it. I apologize in advance if this offends anyone, breaks the spirit of the forums, or breaks any rules - this isn't my intent.

Welcome to 1912! This is a collaborative timeline that goes year-by-year, starting in 1912.

Rules
1. Everyone is welcome to participate in the timeline. All one must do to contribute is claim a turn, wait for their turn to come, and then post their specified turn.
1a. When it gets to be your turn, you have three days (72 hours) to complete the turn. If not, you will be skipped.
1b. To claim another turn, you must wait until you have completed the turn to claim another turn, and you cannot claim two turns in a row. For instance, if you claim 1916, you must wait until you have completed 1916 to claim another turn, and you cannot claim 1917.
1c. When you claim a turn, you get the next year. For instance, the first person to claim will get 1913, the second person to claim will get 1914, ect.
2. The format of turns will be similar to map games over on AH.com - you list the various continents, then list the date of the event and the event itself. Use the upcoming 1912 turn as an example.
2b. Maps are not needed. If you want to make a map, that's fine, but don't feel like you have to make one.
3. Please try to keep your turns somewhat neat - try to use correct spelling and grammar as much as possible. It's okay if you make several mistakes, but try to make sure that everyone can read it.
4. The minimum amount of events in a post is five. While there is no upper limit, try to avoid blocks of text.
5. Keep your posts at least somewhat realistic, and maintain the flow of history. (no ASB, wanks, ect.) As long as you do that, you can go wild. Keep in mind that events might be more realistic if you lead up to them.
5b. If one believes that a post is unrealistic in someway, they can object before the next post is posted. (i.e. if someone has an objection to the 1914 post, it must be voiced before the 1915 post is posted). If there is a reasonable cause for their concern (if I approve it), the game is halted for a day (24 hours) and a poll will be held to see if the community agrees. If a simple majority agrees that the post is unrealistic, it will be rewritten by myself. If a simple majority thinks that the post is realistic, then nothing shall happen. In the event of a tie, I'll break it. Nonetheless, after the poll is over, the game continues as normal.
6. Obviously, obey the rules of the forum.
7. Both historical and fictional characters are allowed to be used.
8. New rules may be added if necessary.
