Scenes from a Revolution [OOC thread]
Posted: Tue May 17, 2022 9:13 am
The suggestion has been made to start one of these. So if anyone is interested but doesn't yet know how exactly to get involved, and doesn't want to use Discord, here it is.
IC thread is here (also currently in signature). I'll supply additional information here as needed.
My current status:
Posts 1-4 done
Post 5: currently almost completely written (>4200 words), being edited. Coming in the next couple of days, most likely.
Post 6: under drafting
As of post #4 this is a very rough map of the current status of the main factions involved: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/273252182193864705/973787225458360420/draft_map_2a.png—Haven Refugee Camp is the one located near Mathhaven, and that's where the Reinkalistani Red Cross is currently located. Hector Moldova has crossed the border near Aghavam; the route via which Holy Marsh is providing aid is already highlighted.
EMK controls the major seaport at Keel (deep water harbour). UWO is providing aid through this harbour. There is also a smaller, EMK-controlled estuary harbour at Whitechapel. The PMUs control a non-deep-water harbour at Newmarket. (Much of the territory between Newmarket and Whitechapel along the coast is contested.) The route via which the PMUs extend from Albany to Halifax is a highway and associated towns that's under their control; they do not have control over much beyond this one particular highway. AKILA now controls part of Delwyn.
The two non-Haven refugee camps are Mezhgani Camp (~2 million refugees; located surrounding city of Mezhgani, prewar population >500,000) and Arvaz Camp (located in the state of Concord, in the suburbs of the eponymous city, prewar population >2 million; ~2-3 million refugees).
Post #5 will cover AKILA's entry into Laurentia city.
Map will not be updated to the final map anytime soon because my computer is currently under repair and I also need a mouse to draw with (or ideally a graphics tablet, but that's beyond my budget at the moment).
Ways people can get involved:

Ways people can get involved:
- Send aid to a faction. This is what most people have done so far.
- Have character(s) somewhere on the map: international aid workers, military advisors, civilians, members of one of the factions, etc.
- Establish relations with the new AKILA-led government once it is formed (probably some time away—at least a week given that posts #6 and 7 are already planned and don't get there yet).
- Alternatively, attempt to stop the AKILA-led government, once it is formed, from controlling the entire map, either through military or diplomatic means.
- In general, find some way to exploit the situation to meet whatever your own goals are in Greater Dienstad/this area of it.
- Other ideas—please post them or let me know otherwise what they are.
