I snuck another short post in before my event. It's pretty irrelevant though, so it shouldn't change anything. I'm not particularly happy with this one, but I felt it was necessary to have a transition post between "We have paper!" and "People know how to read!"
Hopefully G graces us with his presence again soon so he can tell me how wrong I am on how steel works. I probably won't actually have it in a usable state for another IC year anyway. I just needed a bit of filler, and figured Pat might as well do something with all of that iron he found

The date varies. There are some indications of donkey domestication around 4600 bc in Egypt. It is between 5000 and 6000 years ago. It depends on how they spread. The more recent research shows closer to 6000 years. There is more mitochondrial DNA research which changes a lot of the archaeological record.
https://www.thoughtco.com/the-domestica ... eys-170660

Mitochondrial DNA research changes how we can check on where people and animals were. The combination of archaeology and genetics shows how people moved around the world in very different patterns than what is in the older history books. There are things like people going to Europe from Africa and then being traced returning to Africa from Europe. There were no settlements until about 20,000 years ago. This means for 80,000 years prior, people were nomads and traveled everywhere. The mitochondrial patterns tell a different story of where people went. DNA can be removed from ancient bone fragements.

To make it work a bit better. Ed, the donkey escapes never to be seen again. He disappears into the countryside after jumping the fence in Barabbas field.

Physique description:
Wolf stands at 5’10, is Caucasian, and has hazel eyes. He has black hair, and without the ability to shave has a beard that grows similiar to the Amish. He needs glasses to see well far away, and after waking up has a hard time with long range vision. While slightly overweight he is able to run for short periods (5-10 minutes), and dig dirt for 4-8 hours per day with breaks depending on the temperature.

Useful skills:
Wolf has skills that are more useful in the modern world, such as: financial literacy, knowledge of economics, knowledge of business administration techniques, computer skills, and soft skills like teaching, public speaking and taking an idea and explaining it in manners that are more simple to aid in another's understanding of that topic.

As a history buff, and someone that enjoys reading and writing, he is familiar with some of the general information from European and Canadian history - especially with regards to political and military history. He knows a little bit about opera, and ancient inventions as well.

With regards to hands on skills, he is familiar with first aid and camping. While now rusty he used to have some knowledge of basic carpentry for building a bench out of pre made parts.

When it comes to planning and decision making he is more detail oriented; looks ahead at goals on occasion, and sees what can be done to obtain them.He generally thinks things through, if possible, to weigh the pros and cons of a decision before making a decision. He doesn't see the ends as justifying the means. Before making a decision he likes to consult with others to get other opinions.

He likes playing games, such as chess or Skyrim; watching comedy movies such as grumpy old men; and listening to music from the 20th century from the 1900’s to 1980’s.

Where in the world are you landing?:
Sevastopol, Crimea

Autobiography/Biography ( paragraph minimum ):
Wolf was born in a Canadian city. Growing up he attended beaver and cub scouts where he was exposed to camping trips and social gatherings. His favourite school subjects were history and English. In middle school he became involved in clubs such as: chess club, electronics club, and gaming club where he played empire total war. In high school he was able to learn about films and radio, as well as financial management and legal studies. He engaged in clubs such radio clubs and school council. During his time in high school he engaged in outside activities such as advising his provincial government with regards to educational policy, and international events. When he was 16 he joined army cadets and over nearly three years became a sergeant, was trained in marksmanship, and became involved in field training exercises, hunters education training, drill team, and instruction of junior cadets in Canadian history and governance.

Wolf would graduate after 3 years with a major in management, having learned multiple topics including finance, business organization, marketing, Microsoft office, supply chain management, and project work. He got involved with the student association as a guest in the first year, and was elected for two following years. During this time he became involved with committee work, such as governance, external advisory, and campus activities. In his last year with the student association he went to the provincial capital to lobby the members of the legislative assembly. During the last 2 years he joined the schools academic council where he joined two committees and worked on two projects, as well as voted to implement dismiss or modify academic programs.

( Optional on down)
What are your intentions for this RP, what's the long term goal?:
Survive, learn and help others. Establish a country around the Black Sea, and a trading network therein. Help foster governance practices, learning institutions and knowledge growth.

What people or places are you taking inspiration from?:
British - Bicameral Parliamentary Democracy, House of Lords, Cabinet, Governor-general, Lieutenant-Governor and Deputy Minister
Romans - Senate, election system (Public Assembly, Tribal Assembly, Centuriate Assembly), military organization, and castes (Patrician, Equities, and Plebeian)
Vikings - Military equipment, reindeer mounts, and longboats
(Image)
Egyptians/Persians/Chinese - Bureaucracy
Venice - Doge title replacing senator title
Scottish - Bagpipes, Kilts
Canada - RCMP police, Federation, "Peace, Order and good governance motto", and similar governance divisions of powers as outlined in section 91 and 92 of the Canadian constitution.
Athens - Provincial governments (Areopagus upper house, Boule lower house, Prytaneis Cabinet), tribes are called clans
Russia - Streltsy municipal police
(Image)

Why did you chose to land where you did?:
Crimea is centrally located in the Black Sea; potentially allowing for better expansion or trade in the Black Sea area later on. Crimea is also located in a defensible location; potentially allowing for an easier ability to maintain at least that holding later on if wars occur. The culture at the time is close to a heavy dense population; allowing for greater trade possibilities. You were discussing the possibility of established civilizations getting added to the civilizations list, and while it would take time this might be easier on a peninsula than on open land.

What vibe should we get from your civilization and it's culture?:
At first the civilization would probably resemble early Athens politically, with a group of interconnected tribes whose chiefs form a governing oligarchic council. It would probably primarily focus on animal husbandry, and focus secondarily on agriculture and fishing.

What are your character's motivations?:

The name is kind of strange, to be honest. It sounds like a stereotypical Native American name rather than something a Caucasian person would have (unless his parents were flower children).

Curious if I could possibly trade with Troy. Troy Level 1 is 3000 bc. This is when Troy was founded. Its walls were 12 feet high and they were on the bedrock. It would not be far from Thassos. It would be a mercantile city. The city would control access to the Black Sea which is how you would get access to a lot of interesting places. There are examples Trojan and Sumerian wares together. Maybe there are a few Mesopotamians in Troy. Troy is in Anatolia which is ancient Turkey.

I am hoping to move my culture to a more international one drawing from all over the area, making it a crossroads where different groups meet.

Mud Brick was used at about 4000 bc and the Mycenaeans had brick work in 3400 b.c. so it should work.

There was no glass yet in Egypt or Mesopotamia. I had to double check that.

Economically it would probably primarily focus on animal husbandry, especially Cows and sheep. and focus secondarily on agriculture, hunting, and fishing. Defensive wise, as at the time the people lived in fortified settlements with long houses made from wattle and daub that is probably how it would start as well. As 500 years earlier, around 3500 bc, the yamna’s neighbor the Trypillia culture had cities with populations reaching 20,000-46,000 people they may have a population around that size as well.

( Optional on down)
What are your intentions for this RP, what's the long term goal?:

What people or places are you taking inspiration from?:
British - Bicameral Parliamentary Democracy, House of Lords, Cabinet, Governor-general, Lieutenant-Governor and Deputy Minister, Coats of Arms
Romans - Senate, election system (Public Assembly, Tribal Assembly, Centuriate Assembly), military organization, and castes (Patrician, Equities, and Plebeian)
Vikings - Military equipment, longboats, Municipal governments
(Image)
Egyptians/Persians/Chinese - Bureaucracy
Venice - Doge title replacing senator title
Scottish - Bagpipes, Kilts, Golf
Canada - RCMP police, Federation, "Peace, Order and good governance motto", and similar governance divisions of powers as outlined in section 91 and 92 of the Canadian constitution.
Athens - Provincial governments (Areopagus upper house, Boule lower house, Prytaneis Cabinet), tribes are called clans
Russia - Streltsy municipal police
(Image)
Ukraine - Kulaks
United States of America- Baseball
Europe- Chess
Why did you chose to land where you did?:
Crimea is centrally located in the Black Sea; potentially allowing for better expansion or trade in the Black Sea area later on. Crimea is also located in a defensible location; potentially allowing for an easier ability to maintain at least that holding later on if wars occur. The culture at the time is close to a heavy dense population; allowing for greater trade possibilities. You were discussing the possibility of established civilizations getting added to the civilizations list, and while it would take time this might be easier on a peninsula than on open land.

What vibe should we get from your civilization and it's culture?:
At first the civilization would probably resemble early Athens politically, with a governing oligarchic council. Economically it would probably primarily focus on animal husbandry, especially Cows and sheep. and focus secondarily on agriculture, hunting, and fishing. Defensive wise, as at the time the people lived in fortified settlements with long houses made from wattle and daub that is probably how it would start as well. As 500 years earlier, around 3500 bc, the yamna’s neighbor the Trypillia culture had cities with populations reaching 20,000-46,000 people they may have a population around that size as well.

That is quite a name. And keep in mind for your cultural influences that events ( or even other authors ) might change things for you.

You're feudal system seemed to be going a bit too smooth. Im quite decided in testing to see how much proud barbarian tribes with long grudges against each other would be willing to undergo a system so foreign and altruistic.
