To those who do not know this game...
How to play:
Answer the "Would You Rather" post ahead of yours then post your own conundrum using the format I'll model in the first one.
Rules:
- NO godmoding. Saying "Both", "Neither" or making something up is not permitted. You must choose one of the options.
- If you have multiple "Would You Rathers" wait a few turns before posting another one.
- And of course, keep the subject Tudor/History related. But the questions can be as silly or serious as you want.
Let's begin!
Would you rather...
A) Get beheaded because of your beliefs and opposing views.
B) Be severely physically tortured for two years for a crime you didn't commit (But you are freed right after)

In playing many of the games and reading many of the posts, it has become clear that many of us have a favorite Queen ( I know, tell you something that you didn't already know...LOL) The most "heated" exchanges seem to come when Katherine and Anne are in the mix. So, the game that I propose to you all is in the spirit of a challenge.
The game would go as follows:
1. Identify your favorite of the two Queens.
2. This is where you will have to dig deep....say one GOOD thing about the Queen who is not your favorite.
3. You may have to go deeper....say one thing about your favorite that is NOT so good
The old addage " if you can't say something good about someone, don't say anything at all" will have to apply when posting about the Queen who is not your favorite. By the same token, this will not apply to your favorite. The idea of this game is to help show that neither was perfect and neither was totally evil. Use an open mind and try to have fun. So here goes:
Favorite: Katherine of Aragon
Anne Boleyn was more generous with her alms for the poor.
Katherine of Aragon blamed others for what was clearly Henry's fault.

You are dressed in your stunning new gown (not overtly sexy) having a discussion with one of the queen's ladies in waiting at a picnic during King Henry's summer progress when a page puts a note in your hand. The note says that the King has been captivated by your beauty and wants to see you alone in his rooms that evening. What do you do?

"Im looking for a female role where I am involved in incest, what do you suggest?" I am afraid we don't have incest / rape plots in our RP. There are a few underage members playing with us, so we concentrate more on politics, religion, and of course, the usual Tudor festivities. If you want a decent plot, you are welcome to join us.

It is the Year of Our Lord 1522, thirteen years into the reign of His Majesty, King Henry VIII. Although his wife, Queen Catherine of Aragon, has borne him now six children, only one of them has survived beyond the first few months of life - and the Princess Mary is not the heir that Henry desires. The King grows steadily more impatient with his inability to produce an heir, the Queen grows increasingly more desperate for the Lord to give her a son, and the people of England watch the King spending money hand over fist while they are mired in dissatisfaction and disease. The decadence of the Church has lead to the spread of Lutheranism, though it is still considered grave heresy to decry Rome, but they say that these "reformers" meet in secret and praise the notion that any man, not just a man educated by the Church, can read The Bible.
As if there needed to be more fuel added to this fire, the King has now laid eyes on Anne Boleyn, the sister of his current mistress, and rumor has it that he's quite taken with the young Lady Anne.

Once pioneered by the comical geniuses The Two Ronnies, you need to give an answer, but to the previous question set. Then, set a new question.
Q1. Complete the Elizabeth I quote: "I may have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a......."
Q2. What did Henry famously say that his 4th wife Anne of Cleves looked like?
Then, the next person has to give the answer to Question1 - with the answer from Question 2. Then, they set a question (Q3). The next person after them has to give the answer to Q2 above - with the answer from Question 3 and so on and so forth!

Everyone at the Tudor court was slim, beautiful, clean, fresh smelling and aged really, really well. Cromwell who died at fifty six didn't look a day over forty on the scaffold. Charles Brandon didn't age at all for at least ten years. They put this down to the extremley pious life style they all followed.

It's set after Henry VIII dies, and his three heirs ruling England. (Including Lady Jane Grey.)
You can pick any character you want from this list, if there are any others you would like to be just ask, you can also make up a character!
Edward Tudor
Lady Jane Grey
Mary Tudor
Elizabeth Tudor TAKEN
Phillip II of Spain
Robert Dudley
William Shakespeare
Catherine Parr
William Cecil
Sir Francis Drake
Mary, Queen of Scots
Thomas Seymour
Thomas Wyatt the younger TAKEN
Amy Robsart (Dudley's wife)
Henri, Duke of Anjou

James VI (Mary of Scots son)
Sir Francis Walsingham

The theme is Creative roleplay so you don't have to follow a movie or anything, but you can if you want!
There is only one rule though, to respect the main dates and events of history!
e.g Elizabeth became queen after her sister Mary, she never married or produced a heir, but she did have romances!

Figured I'd bump this now that we're all settled on our new site, which can be found here: http://z15.invisionfree.com/After_The_Tudors/index.php?act=idx
We are an AU site which uses history as a guide, and takes aspects from the Tudors TV series, and the Elizabeth movies, but other than that, we are 100% AU. It really is up to you, the members, to decide what direction your characters and, ultimately, this site goes in.
As of now, Edward is dead, and in his place sits his devoutly Catholic sister, Mary. For months Mary has been hiding behind closed doors, in fear of the public she now has to rule, the majority of which are Protestant. Never imagining she would live to sit on the throne, the new queen not only has to deal with her people, but the secretaries who once worked so diligently for her brother. Between her citizens, and her council, returning to the old ways, and forging the bonds that were once broken with the Sea of Rome, will not be easy for the eldest Tudor, but she is determined to try.
We're currently in the year 1551, due to move in to 1552 once the present Christmas festivities have passed. A handful of canons are needed and available, as follows:
Elizabeth Tudor
Jane Grey
Robert Dudley
Thomas Cranmer
Edward Seymour
Lettice Knollys
Amy Robsart
William Cecil
Katherine Ashley

Hello Everyone!
This is a game that will be a bit difficult, but fun! We are going to modernize the Tudors. Starting in 1973 and going to 2011 which will be the end of Henry VIII's "reign" we will put them in the 20-21st century.
Rules:
People and their beliefs, and their names will remain the same, for example Henry will still be the same old Henry with a desire for a male heir. He will still have his six wives and 3 children. Cases like Catherine of Aragon can become Catherine Aragon.
You may take an event, job, or object and modernize it in sequence. For example Henry's Master of the Horse could become his chauffer. I will start it off so you guys will know what to do and I will tell you what time frame were in so pay close attention!
Setting: Houston Texas, 1973
Game will be based on creativity and how well you stick to the timeframes. Points will be awarded on a scale from 1-5. Were starting off in the 1970's for now, so stick to the technology, and fashions of that decade. Have fun! :)
Also as we will progress quickly, feel free to update the technology such as cars, clothes, and watches. For example, Henry wouldn't drive a car from the 70's in 2011. I will calculate points at the end of each time frame and let you know who how many points.
For future reference: keep the story line going if your changing events. Keep in line with previous posts on events.

We now come to the reign of Elizabeth (The Golden Age). This was the longest reign in the house of Tudor. Elizabeth was every inch her father's daughter - she is quoted as saying "I may not be a lion but I am a lion's cub"..
1558
====
Immediately after her succession Elizabeth appointed her old friend Sir William Cecil as her principal secretary and Lord Robert Dudley as her master of the horse. On 23rd November she left Hatfield for London escorted by over 1,000 lords, ladies and gentlemen.

Last year I started a game where we put ten facts about Henry his wives and courtiers. I thought we could have a new version with members of the cast. Starting with JRM, Henry Cavill & James Frain and then going onto other cast members. I will start us off with facts about JRM. If each person playing can copy the list and then write their fact and also put a number by the side when we have 10 facts we go onto the next actor which will be Henry Cavill. when we have 10 facts about him we go onto James Frain. .
1) JRM was born Jonathan Michael Francis O'Keefe on the 27.7.1977 in Dublin
2) The family moved to Cork when Jonathan was nearly one year old

As an experienced Roleplayer, I decided to mix both my love for the Tudors, and my love of writing to start an in-depth, rated mature RP on facebook.com. Unfortunately, most groups have so many characters taken, so I thought why not start a new one? Yes?
Anyone interested should shoot me a message or visit my page http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002289951111 .
Starting from the beginning we would need a
-- King Henry VIII
-- Katherine of Aragon
-- Charles Brandon
-- Mary Tudor (as a child)
-- George Boleyn
-- Thomas Boleyn
-- Mary Boleyn
(well, I think you get the hint --- all characters open, for the exception of Anne)
So let's see if we can give her a go, ya? :)

This is a game where a certain amount of research will be needed., unless it is a year that you can think of something significant happening without the need to look it up.
This is how it will work: Starting with 1509 and finishing in 1547 we will add an event that took place each year. This will be preferably Tudor but world wide events will be acceptable where we cannot find anything Tudor. We will work on one year per day and try and make sure that we cover all the years upto and including 1547. We can add more than one event per year, so if you find that somebody has already entered under a particular year, it is fine to add something else that you have found of significance for that year. The more the merrier.
I will start the ball rolling.
1509
====
On the 24th June 1509 (Midsummers Day) King Henry was crowned King of England. at Westminster Abbey.
As soon as the King disappeared into the Abbey the crowds ripped the carpets to pieces to take home as souvenirs. Sir Thomas More is quoted as saying in verses he wrote to celebrate the Coronation "Henry, was a new messiah and his reign a second coming".
