THE GREATEST DEP-RESSION.

[Seperallis]

Ultimately, forcing a global recession on anyone through means by which an individual may not want to participate in or is crafting enough to get around seems like a terrible idea and is a demonstration of enforced roleplay on people, which should not really be done.

Welcome to nation roleplay. Or roleplay in general, whose entire premise is forced reaction to previously unforeseen circumstances...otherwise it’s just normal fiction.

I have mentioned something about this previously, but since you and I’m sure several others don’t want to skim through 4 pages, here is a quote from me, discussing plans of more minor events:

I forgot to mention above, we’ll be throwing random events at the world from here onward. Whether it’s a major hurricane here, a major earthquake there or something much less generic, we’ll start throwing a couple mostly random roadblocks at the world at active nations, or sometimes npcs in active regions. The purpose is to create more impetus for actions/reactions among nations; we generally assume such problems happen, but whether it’s a blindness or lack of time or whatever, such things never come up in either news or rp. Now it will.

This “change” will come starting some time in 1596
