OOC: Ok, this is seriously wrecking havoc on my timelines. The Taking of Rome happens before the Dominion is destroyed. I thought Venice only exists later? When does this happen?

OOC- How would anyone in the Italian peninsula have any sort of military machine if this is only a month or so after the Taking of Rome? Because if thats the case, then the Dominion would STILL be extant.

Dude, mass confusion for me as a reader.

OOC: I'm under the impression that the Taking of Rome was after the Dominion. In the first post, I said this war takes place after the Taking of Rome, but never specified a time. My civil would take place 2 months after the fall of the Dominion and run over the course of 6 months, meaning Venice would exist by 8 months after the Dominion.

Venice's military comes from the former Telosan Europe. Galicia was a staging point for the Telosantis in the Iberian campaign and the Venetian area I own was captured and occupied during the Dominion Wars. Since, to fight in the war, Telosan would've had a buildup in military, I'm assuming that most of it was still around. Following that, the civil war means that there's plenty of armed forces running around since it's still recent.

OOC: It's not. The Taking of Rome occured in the current Dominion timeline. This thread is making me doubt the whole two timelines thing :(

But Rome could only be taken after CE was gone, at which point Telosan Europe owned the Venetian lands and the Dominion was gone almost immediately thereafter.

OOC: The Taking of Rome occurs after CE is forced out of that region. But the Dominion still exists after that. It is not gone yet!

OOC:Can't we just say this is after the Dominion? I'm not seeing where the confusion is stemming from. Yes, I had placed it in the wrong time period, but any mention of time here is ambiguous, these events could've happened immediately after the fall of the Dominion.

OOC split?

OOC: Yes, we could have it after the Dominion, but that has to be made clear! You can't make the timeline ambiguous when we are playing in two timelines. That is just common sense. Also you can't say "I'm not seeing where the confusion is stemming from" and then follow up with "I had it placed in the wrong time." That is an immediate self-contradiction. When we have two timelines, you have to be 100% clear about which timeline this is happening in, or you guarantee that everyone who pays attention will be confused. Everyone who is playing here needs to be 100% certain about which timeline this story is occuring in.
