The consensus in the last thread was that we want to focus far more on the AAR(After Action Report) this time around, so please write a nice one. The game will continue until we run out of players or until it is 1820.

Rules:
We will be playing unmodded DW 5.1, so you obviously need to own that game to participate.
To play, demand a spot in this thread. Players will play in order of appearance. Please make it absolutely clear that you want to play. You can sign up at any time before the game is finished.
After one player has finished his turn by uploading the save, the next in line must claim his spot within 24 hours. New: I want to reduce the maintenance i have to do, so it is now your responsibility to send the next in line a PM and post in this thread who he is for everyone to see. If this does not work out, i will do that stuff again.
He then has another 72 hours to play out his turn. New: If you are not finished with your 20 years during this time, don't worry. Just hand over as much as you have done.
Since the holidays are near, the following days do not count for both claiming your spot and playing your turn: 24-26th of December, 31th of December, 1st of January. So if the player before you finishes on December 23, you have until December 27 to claim your spot.
Each player must give a report on what happened during his rulership time in this thread. Preferably a fun one. This is an important part of the game. If you don't feel like posting an AAR, don't play. If you don't post an AAR, the safegame you post will be ignored and we revert back to the last one before it. Noone expects literary genius, but we want to have a complete chronicle of what happened in this succession game, not half of the players reports completely missing.
You also have to upload his safegame and post a link to it in this thread. Please end your report with a full picture of our complete realm, so people spectating can have a better idea of what is happening.
Be nice. We want to have fun here, so don't do stuff like purposefully ruining the nation (doing it by accident is absolutely fine), starting a war on the last day of your reign, or complaining all the time how shitty the people playing before you were. The nation will be different and probably less effective then it would have been if you alone played it, so expect that. As a general rule, just be nice.
Suggestions
Take Screenshots. A lot of them. They can make your AAR far easier to follow, and much more fun. F12 takes a map of the world, F11 a screenshot of your ingame view. Both can be found in the Screenshots directory of your EU3 game.
Give your rule a personality, and set some goals that don't only involve blobbing up mindlessly. Free that other country of your religion from the evil imperialist oppressors, marry that beautiful english lady you met at the dance in London, build a great wall along your border to protect against the endless onslaught of the mongol hordes or do anything else you can think of.
Startup
Instead of posting a lot of polls, i decided to do stuff a bit different this time around. When you sign up, please post a country that you would like to play, and if any settings are particularly important to you, and the reasons behind that. You can of course just support another post before you if you like that idea, too. This period will run for about 2-3 days. The person who summits the winning country gets to play the first turn if he wants to.
I for one would like to play something small-ish in South-East Asia, because i never was in that area before. Also, this time around i will abuse my power as organisator and claim the last spot for me, i want to play the country with all its history behind it.
