The USSR general discussion thread!

[Lord_Mountbatten]

Volstag, that's a taste of what being a moderator can be like.

If being a Mod is so stressful for some people i reckon a new rule should be set in place.
Only come to the mods if you cant (within existing rules) sort it out yourself. Mods are still just MC players to!

No one would pay any attention to it, and that's assuming they read it first.

despite any ignorant players who choose to ignore rules. Is it at least a decant idea? (thats saying if we could pull it off)

The Wiki: The name is right, the K is in there to make everything more Russian sounding.

I dont mean that, i mean your main post on this thread says the USSR stand for United Soviet Saphirian Republics, while the wiki says its, The Union of Saphirian Socialist Republiks. im simply asking which one is it
and when i can be bothered ill update the wiki myself.

I wrote this a while ago. (I WILL UPDATE THE WIKI DAMMIT)
My main question here is. (due to it never being answered) Does the USSR stand for;
1. United Soviet Saphirian Republics (our name on this thread)
or
2. Union of Saphirian Socialist Republiks (our name on the wiki)

Edit: I just had a terrible thought. Comet1 was banned due to the VCLB right? Now that the VCLB is gone and people are being unbanned from it... (i think you can see where this is going) If he returns not even the raven empire will be able to stop him...

Comet1 gave his Minecraft account to the administration here at Escapecraft. A few months ago, either Lord or Black (I can't remember) logged on under his name and convinced the other users online that Comet1 was back due to significant contribution to the server.

But yeah, he's not coming back.

[Byroe]

AND CAN I GET A RESPONSE ON THE SPIRAL MOUNTAIN PROJECT GUYS!?

To be honest, i don't know what that is. :p
and thanks for redstone.

[SneakyPie]

I find this all so very amusing.

[aflycon]

I find this all so very amusing.

As do I.

It's just this is what it's like running the server to some degree.

It can be very stressful on everyone involved as Lord alluded to.

Er... not really... He did not give his account to us so much as blurt the account name and password in Public for any yahoo to see... That post was deleted but he has yet to change the password... and well... some of us are trolls ;3

Ah, whoever trolled us told me that was the reason they had the account.. but I should've known it was just trolling within trolling. We must go deeper!

T R O L L C E P T I O N

[random980]

So Comet1 was able to troll us without physically being on his account himself...
His trolling powers are more fearsome then i had thought!

Byroe... Get a Nintendo 64 (or emulator) Go get Banjo-Kazooie (or download the rom) AND PLAY IT.
alternatively, rather than wasting money, youtube will most likely have a "Lets PLay" of it.
Spiral mountain is the 'tutorial' section of the hub world.
(stupid carrot)

OK me and Volstag agreed we should (in creative) make a replica of the TF2 map, ctf_double_cross.
Construction will probably start 3-4 weeks from now.
(sorry volstag, my steam decided to disconnect mid-chat)

Sorry Random, but due to the fact that no one here seems to played this game i doubt we'll get the chance to do it.

My main question here is. (due to it never being answered) Does the USSR stand for;
1. United Soviet Saphirian Republics (our name on this thread)
or
2. Union of Saphirian Socialist Republiks (our name on the wiki)

for simplicity's sake the first one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm beginning to think that this argument has become a bit of a joke to many people.

Nevertheless thanks i suppose.

No one, at least no one who's posted wants the USSR to end. I'm fine with that as long as everyone stops bothering me about every little thing. So that's that.

Can someone tell me if Power left the USSR? i heard he took down the flag and i haven't seen him recently.

[powerfulkingt]

I am undecided, but for now, just put me as an allie.

[Byroe]

wait, is the USSR back? oh and btw, some griefer took down the wool saphiri sign out front...

[Volstag9]

Alright. As you know we don't force you to stay or leave. So the choice is yours.

wait, is the USSR back? oh and btw, some griefer took down the wool saphiri sign out front...

So it seems. Lets hope it keeps small, and manageable. And concerning you Byroe, i know your thoughts on all of this but just so you know you can do what you want don't think your obligated to lead anyone or anything. Although i would appreciate any help i could get.

Matter #2: GRAHHHH! - are you sure it wan't a random creeper explosion? If not contact a mod.

[aflycon]

As for keeping the USSR small and manageable, try reworking your government. I'm not going to tell you what to do, but check out some of the Corinth threads for an outline. Displacing equal responsibility on several people will definitely help you out, Vol.

By the way, I'll come and build that house in Saphiri.. eventually.. <_>

Ok cool, ill update the wiki whenever and ill also put that redstone in the funpowder chest soon.
I already know Spiral Mountain wont be built which is why i proposed this:

Surely we have all played this map on TF2
So after we upgrade the Mob Tower can we all work on this?
Also Afly, I have already asked that we (USSR) stop being an empire and start being more of a joint-government council that spans over independent city's. This puts less work on running things alone and more on being a group.

... try reworking your government ...

That is all.

Either way, redistributing power will undoubtedly reduce the load that Volstag feels on his shoulders.

A quick look at your page make me think that our government actually are pretty similar. We both have governors that run each town with a group of leaders leading.

The problem with the USSR is that all of our "Above leaders" as in Byroe, and luke and such. always seem to default everything back to me. Its like they fear me. Anyway, i think everyone has kinda has to chill out and take a breather. anyway i hope things will go like this.

Premeirs: Byroe and Volstag9 - we are two leaders we have the exact same amount of power.
High General: Luke - Controls the Military.
Plus other positions.

And then the governors of specific towns.

Random, i think you defiantly need some sort of position.

Also a problem arises in due that we dont have enough people, plus who will run Saphiri?

We had many people who wanted to join, mostly because it comes with many benefits. All we need to do to get more people, is to advertise more. As for the government, I'm not sure we should have the exact same powers, as im not very good at leading and what if we both make decisions that oppose each other?
and about running saphiri, I think we should set up the capital there by making the capital building where the keep once stood. And you (volstag) can run it or we can set up a provisional governor.

[random980]

Yay!, i get a special position aswell as being the governor of Solar!
My idea was that everyone has equal power in the USSR except the towns are still ruled by their governors respectively. Its what Corinth does except we have different towns and not districts. A large problem is that BECAUSE you are the leader(s), everything that happens will still have to be finalized by you unless everyone in the USSR has equal power (changing your position to founders) and only having top authority in Saphiri.

With the special positions, could i be the Royal Architect? (or some other fancy name) In charge of landscape, project and city design?

[Sir_Luke]

We should become communist.

[Byroe]

We should become communist.

no, Communism is evil.

[697134002]

We should become communist.

no, Communism is evil.

Working men of all countries, Unite!

[Sir_Luke]

It would be a fun experiment. We can run our country just like any communist country, and see how long it takes before it becomes evil.

[random980]

After what Volstag just said he had been through, this "idea" is probably to be better tested at another time...
BUT WE SHOUD DEFINITELY TRY IT, epic lolz are sure to be had.
