Maybe it splintered because, unlike liberals and social democrats in NSGS, the radicals like roleplaying....and actually doing something different every once in a while?

Our party shouldn't be thrown in with RSP or the Bolsheviks. I've been talking about working with the to-be-named fascist party.

When things fall apart, we use them. Everyone has one, then the become illegal, then people still have them. People rarely do anything interesting regarding militias because it really boils down to a bunch of radicals fighting in streets (which is fun but can get boring) and the moderates whining about how coups ruin the "fun".

I feel like it'd be pretty intresting seeing how everybody try's to deal with as long as they don't take over the RP

It is, to an extent, but there are enough people who either can't RP realistically or won't participate that the conflict appears to be both over-dramatic and meaningless.

Could it be possible to use them like the Nazi's used SA after they gained power.

Can we all agree to make things a bit more interesting this time round and not have coalitions based on "we like you more than the other guys"?

I remember in Aurentina slaving away to try and bring the CMP on board, and then after that it seemed like conservatives and libertarians were meant for each other just because the far-left would sell their souls to the moderate left for fuck all.

If the fascists, stalinists, and nationalists all join together, things could become VERY interesting.

Thats why should have elections; and penalties for coalitions so we'll have minority governments...

...and we should not have so many moderates. Too many moderates makes the roleplay boring.

Yeah. Next incarnation, we should either ban the social democratic party or pick a location where social democracy doesn't exist.

We have never had proper parliamentary elections. We have had presidential elections etc and that's just based on voting number of players in each party. We have discussed having a proper elections for ever but it never gets through.

Same thing with the Fascists. With Hitler, the SPD was the last to go. With us, they'll be the first.
