Like I said, it depends how you do it. If you blatently shoved it in his face, perhaps, but if you just gave a potential relationship a nudge in the right direction, I see no problem. And, ultimately, all that really differentiates the three routes is which heroine got that "nudge", so there's no reason why it couldn't be done.
Well, yes....
This is the problem, ultimately. It's hard to see how to fairly decide which heroine he'll end up with, because he has feelings for all three. It's just a question of which he notices and acts on.
Well, if we're going for the fourth war, then I'd like it to start early enough that I could try to save Sakura before Tokiomi gave her away (i.e. so we are out of our "training" more than a year beforehand).
Well, if the canon characters aren't there, I don't really see the point of the RP, honestly. What good is a bunch of Nasuverse knowledge which we can't do anything with? Plus, it makes little sense if they're not, unless we in the past or the far future.
Well, I think the bigger issue is probably the portrayal, really. I think we can mostly agree on how to deal with most of the characters, and any arguments we have can be IC. The issue is whether the GM can portray the characters in a manner which we all actually agree with....Forumites are bound to have differing opinions on how to deal with them or how they want them portrayed. Some more intensely than others, which is something I can see turning ugly quickly. I also foresee power levels being a problem, but these frequently are.
Quite an intriguing concept.
And if its back in the Zero era, then this does give me some freedom to meddle with KnK-related events as the millennium approaches. I'm sure Fujou Kirie could use a friend, since she's kind of been left alone at the hospital while her relatives wait for her to die.
Or Asagami Fujino, for that matter. ^^
...question though. Would I be able to gain the resources/paperwork/government approval to open some kind of cafe or something? And if we are placed in a certain country, does knowledge of the language and culture come with?
Why bother trying to meddle with his love life at all? Ultimately, that's Shirou's life and choice, not ours, regardless of who we might feel he's best suited for or not suited for.
I vote we start just before Fate/Zero at the earliest. The whole 3 year period is a problem though.

If we don't "meddle", then the issue I was describing becomes worse, because then it's essentially up to the GM to pick the pairing they like the most, and that is guarenteed to cause rage.
But, anyway, whilst it is indeed Shirou's choice, that doesn't mean we can't help him to make that choice, in the same way as a friend might set you up on a date with a girl they know likes you, and give you relationship advice....
No, if we're doing Zero, then IMO we should leave a year beforehand to allow Sakura to be saved more cleanly.
Interesting concept for an RP.

Honestly, I'd prefer leaving such a decision in GM hands, rather than having people meddle in it.
That being said, if we're starting at Zero then, well, Shirou wouldn't be Shirou at all...
I honestly don't see why. A choice would have been made, and we simply have to respect that. I mean, if we end up changing events so that Kohaku ends up in Fuyuki, and Shirou falls for her, well, that's his choice as well.
Still a bit of a suicide mission there...No, if we're doing Zero, then IMO we should leave a year beforehand to allow Sakura to be saved more cleanly.
And?
It's still his decision, ultimately.
Because it shows blatent bias towards one of the heroines on the part of the GM.
Just because you like to do that and then say "fuck you" to the players when they complain, that doesn't mean everyone else is OK with it....
