I suppose Ian might have misunderstood BG.... well.... maybe he didnt. But still.... you dont play with these sensitive matters. Doesnt matter, who wants to hijack the story?
I am up to it.
(Although BG has shown up at CF.NET offering to post and then continue the story there.
[That said, I was already considering continuing the story.])
I think that we should put it on hiatus here and continue on CF.net. BG's got th enext couple of years planned out adn no doubt he and Megas are still working on it and intend to continue. Although I can'y speak for BG himself I'd assume that he still wants content on this thread but that the story should remain where it is for now until either he can get his work through to someone else or another solution can be reached.
Dear regular readers of "Isaac's Empire" and the "Children of Johan" thread,
As you may have realised already, Basileus Giorgios has been Banned from AH.com for 'Advocating Terrorism.'
BG says that he is appealing the Banning decision; however, I have no idea how long this process will take.
For now, BG says to check out http://counter-factual.net/upload/showthread.php?t=7537 for new updates from "Isaac's Empire".
As for various people's plans to hijack the TL, I say hold your horses for now - and give BG a chance to appeal the Ban at least.
This thread could quickly descend into chaos if our very own revolutionary from Plovdiv has his way.
Since I've, in effect, been co-author of this TL for more than 6 months now - something which I haven't necessarily advertised to the world - I say we wait for now to see what can be done.
If BG can't return, and I confirm this by posting on this site - only THEN will I seek collaborators from amongst the readership to continue the TL.
Hope that's clear enough for everyone just now.

You dont consider my methods peaceful?Preliminary decision of how to proceed
OK,
I think the solution we are tending towards would be for BG to post updates on CF.net, while I let the regular readership know the gist of what's going on by posting directly here myself.
Of course, myself and individuals like Saepe Fidelis and ByzantineCaesar will continue to write stories and "back histories" set in this world and post them on here or 'CoJ'.
Would readers be broadly content with that approach?
Also, since there is now a real risk that the thread will "die" suddenly without its main author, can as many of the regular readership as possible post ideas for what they would like to see happen in the future of the "Isaac's Empire" world? Remember we've got to around 1770 so far.
As ever, if anyone wants to "take over" one of the "Isaac's Empire" countries and write either stories set in them, or "back histories" please do PM either me or Saepe Fidelis with your ideas.
As the two posters (apart from BG himself) who have done the most work on this site, rapidly being caught up by the efforts of ByzantineCaesar, we will act as the "guardians" of the thread until we get some clarity on whether BG will return or not.

I'm happy with that. As one of the diadochi I'll take temprarary control over Russia and China. I'd suggest contributers continue as they are, so BC keep doing yr thing in S America and Megas keep with Johannia adn your excellent spy stories. If anyone else wants in I too would suggest you PM either Megas or me so that you can be filled in and can being contributing. We espcially ned pople who want to either write narrative pieces or who can cover the middle east, SE Asia and Africa.
Oh and DU, we're all happy for yu to keep contributing and if you still want in on Russia adn everythign we can fill you on progressions and we'd be happy to have you contribute, your ethno-linguistic aid has really bee aboon. However, BG is still very much in control of this TL he'll just be acting through intermediaries for awhile until the ban is sorted. I hate to sound authoritarian but that's just how it is.
Once again, anyone wants in on the authorship and thir share fo kudos then do PM either me or Megas.
I agree with Calamius. "Isaac's Empire" belongs to Basileus Giorgios. Don't hijack it.
If BG remains banned, which is the most likely outcome to this scenario, Isaac's Empire could die. If BG surfaces up on CF.net with updates on this timeline, someone should take up the responsibilty of posting them here. They should ask Ian's permission first, and contact BG for his permission as well.
If you do hijack start a different thread.

I also made a bunch of soulja uniforms for the thread.... i guess BG got banned before seeing them. To heck with it.....
Hmmmm.... just out of curiocity.... are you aware what kind of butchery MDTK and BG aaaaaaaaaand you (but mostly mr MDTK and BG) have done to Russia? My point was to make a generally liberal, atheist, agricultural based Republic and they turned her to a Nazi fest!!! How on earth they managed that i am unaware.... not to mention the earthquake engine. Like, i really felt jumping from top floor when i saw it.
omg...
I'm really without words... it's like my brain is blocked.... but I know one for sure... I won't give up IE and won't unsubscribe even after 10 years from now... and I WILL continue Opará, and I'd recommend you to still read and comment since it's getting exciting. Don't let the magic of IE die, please.

Oh yes yes i know.... its so atmospherical. IE is the timeline that made me love the Ottoman conquests
solution to OUR problems?
Maybe we could ask Ian to not bann BG from the CoJ and IE thread? This might be a solution
