Wait, so this thread isn't completely dead. I actually only checked whether CloakedShadows Fantasy Domain RP was already started.
I think, I could if necessarily do the events for the western Island, though as I haven't operated an RP before I don't know how good I'll turn out to be at it.
Also is Axios_Demienence still active, or are we down to 3 players?
((Whilst I agree that it is very far-fetched, I don't really think it is impossible as the bolsheviks managed to build a socialist state in a country where 80% of the population existed out of peasants (a number comperable to ancient Greece), plus these 'banking-schemes' are only supposed to finance the acquisition of capital goods by the 1/5 of the population that isn't a farmer (however now I'm thinking about it corruption might well make it end up somewhere else). As for the economical theory lets just say it is to 19th-century economics, as the Antikythera mechanism is to the astronomical clock, and consists only out of rule of thumbs develloped by trail and error. (But now I'm thinking about it the 'error' part might well have dramatically chrashed the economy). Well I guess I can always edit my ap and say it's economy hasn't yet fully recovered measered in production per person. EDIT: Now I'm thinking about it, it might have been a bad idea to mention the bolsheviks as Autrosch looks economically and technologically more like the Roman Empire than Soviet Russia. (Expect there are no slaves, and the large enterprises are worker-owned instead of private property)))
((Well my ap ended up longer than I expected, I even gave it footnotes... EDIT: I just noticed I forgot to upload my flag, and that somehow the last part of my ap is in an other lettertype?))
Playername: Qwantyrioem
Faction occupied: the commoners' republic of Autrosch
Form of government: Secular left-wing bureaucratic authoritarian democracy:
After the forces of the United Front managed to defeat the royalists of Camern in 'the glorious people's revolution', they build a new political system based on a pyramid of elected councils (With worker's councils and peasant's councils at the bottom managing theproduction, municipal & provincial councils consisting of representatives of lower councils running the regions and the national council at the top which serves as supreme legislative authority and appoints the executive branches of the government). They also made a constitution which guaranteed a decentralised, democratic and open state in an effort to prevent an other autocracy. But after 15 years, 6 purges, 5 coups, 4 coalition wars, 3 new constitutions, 2 failed royalist insurrections in Overmeren and a failed invasion of Macsor, not only are the regional councils reduced to a subordinate role to (sub)prefects appointed by a centralised autharitarian bureaucracy but Nathan Bosmans has heavily surpassed his authority as chairman of the economics committee, filled the supreme worker's court with his cronies, sends Public Security's gendarmerie after political opponents* and even abused his popularity to get elected as chairman-for-life. (the elections were rigged but as he was the only competent chairman of the economics committee, ended the period of anarchy and controls the postal system he would have won anyway.)
Capital: Onoare
More info:
economy: Currently Autrosch has a mixed market socialist economy, originally it was purely market syndicalist†, but in year III after the revolution Veerle Leenwijk introduced the 'New Economic Policy'
which relegalised small businesses, decreased unemployment by subsidising cooperatives which accepted new workers and allowed agricultural collectives to lease land to their members (which they already did before the NEP only made it legal). The economy was further refined by Nathan Bosmans in year XI, with the creation of the so called 'people's banks' (which give out interest free loans to new cooperatives) and the introduction of a system of a variable forced reinvestment ratio's, which somewhat decreased the perpetual crises of over- and under-production and promoted economical growth. Census: The country hasn't yet demographically and economically recovered from the years of war. However recently under Nathan Bosmans a still ongoing period of large economical growth occured which has nearly brought back productivity to the prerevolutionary level, however contrary to popular assumption, it has nothing to do with his percieved 'brilliance'. The lessening inflation was primarly caused by the looting of Zaine's treasury in the last coalition war making further debasement of the coin unnecessary, whilst his economical policy only worked because he learned of his predecessors mistakes (he even stole their good ideas which they didn't have the time to execute).
Military: Autrosch military has 3 branches:
1: the Army of Labour: the standing army, rather small thanks to the coalition-wars and has a severe shortage of knights (as most of them died or joined the royalists), but it is experienced.
2: the popular militias: Reservist armies used to defend their home provinces, whilst they are not as well-trained and equipped as the professional army, the knowledge of their home terrain makes them
very capable in guerrila warfare.
3: the Republican Navy: Is basically Camern's old Royal Navy, except half of it was lost thanks to all those wars. Flag: The revolutionary quadricolour: originally it's colours stood for workplace democracy, fraternity, liberty and equality, however as, by virtue of being in a revolutionary Thermidor, liberty has degenerated back to pre-revolutionary terms whilst equality is much more narrowingly interpreted (as some forms of equality are incompatible with the ideals of meritocracy and reward for performance), so now the colours are being redefined as the 'four freedoms': freedom of worker's self-management, freedom from exploitation, freedom of profession‡ and the freedom from want.
Notes: *Ironically Nathan Bosmans (or baronet Nathan van den bosse, as he was known back then) himself was arrested by the gendarmerie after the revolution for being, well, a baronet, he was lucky to be sentenced only 3 years of 'reeducation through labour';
† Simply put market-competition between worker run- and owned-enterprises.
‡This doesn't only refer to the abolition of manoralism, but also to rather dubious methods which were employed by the guilds to suppress competition from cottage industry and the previous governments tendency to accept only members of the nobility as officers and high officials.
I'm planing to join within a few days when my math exam is done.
Also do you or Machinasa (if he isn't gone) have any problems with me taking Autrosch? (as the idea of a midival socialist revolution seems just awasome (maybe I can even have Nathan Bosmans crowning himself emperor of the socialist-republic.))
And are 'pre-Industrial industries' (like the famous Venetian Arsenal) allowed?
As shooting the ogre doesn't seem to help I attach dynamite to my armored tricycle and just drive it towards the ogre whist firing and jump out just before it impacts.
I use my autocannon on Huffpuff's ogre, but I use a mix of normal bullets and paint balls to give it a more visible colour (and hopefully make it easier to hit).

I rejoin team blue and give every member of team red an explosive sigar (of a very damaging kind) as a new year gift.
I also ad a charge to CobaltShade's brewing stand (4/25).

I swing my pickaxe at the red outer wall, and add a charge to nulitor's melee tank.

I paint the red outerwall blue in order to give it an existential crisis.

I use dowsing rods to locate weak points in red's outer wall.
And then I ad a charge to nulitor's melee stealth tank (2/15).
