Counter-Revolution Day (FT OOC/Idea)

Postby OMGeverynameistaken » Sat Dec 04, 2010 3:44 pm

Greetings II, I come to you, once more, with a little idea.

As some of you probably know, the Russian Empire I play is the product of an alternate history where the Russian Revolution was defeated, Anastasia became Empress and so forth. So, naturally, instead of May Day, the Russian Empire has Counter-Revolution Day, which is close to St. Nicholas' Day, which celebrates the martyrdom of the Imperial Family.

So, the idea for this RP is that the Tourism Ministry extends an invitation to some foreign dignitaries.

If other Sol states are interested, we can probably integrate our events. I imagine Germany, the ERE (as the Ottomans), Prussia and Austria in particular would be interested, since both states were invade by the Counter-Revolutionary army on account of having fallen to Ebil Commies. Other Sol states would probably have some form of celebration going on, just on the principle that Communism Is Bad. So basically a sort of inverted May Day.

Basically, this RP will consist of a tour of important locations in St. Petersburg and Moscow, mostly related to the Russian Civil War. This will be followed by, of course, a military parade, state dinner and the Sol Fleet Review. The tour will take place several days prior to the actual holiday.

St. Nicholas Day, that is the day of the execution of the Imperial Family, is on July 17. Counter-Revolution Day, the official end of the Russian Civil War, is July 28. So basically there's ten days to do stuff in, allowing for your delegates to take some time to play tourist outside of the 'official' tour, although it's probably best to arrange stuff ahead of time.

So, interest?

Japan will probably participate, if only because Japan does what the Western barbarians do (but it's still civilized, of course, while Europeans are all barbarians).

I'm pretty sure, but not entirely sure, so I wanted to ask if this was E:E exclusive?

You directed the thread at II, but the fact that you mentioned the Sol states [An E:E entity, I think] and the only person to respond is an E:E puppet...

No, this is open to all. It'd be a bit silly to just take people from EE states on tours of places they've probably either been to or read about endlessly in school.

Ah, alright then. I would definitely be interested. I want to show that I do more than wars, and I'm banking on the "OMG" brand to keep a diplomatic thread alive. Supposing that IC you would broadcast an invitation, how far from Sol would the broadcast go?

The Portuguese Ambassador will gladly join in with the festivities, and alittle late night boozing perhaps with some of the other delegates as well.

I imagine that a Sol broadcast would work its way around much of the galaxy, albeit to some places more slowly than others.

The Neumark has a heavy disdain of tsarism and autocracy, having revolted against our own Emperor at about the same time as your nation did. That said, we would be interested in coming along, in the interests of friendship, and shaking our heads smugly at the evils of your nation.

@Nuemark/Al-Mumtaz
This is both an FT thread and an OOC thread. IC responses are not required. And you both seem to be MT.

@Other guys
Great. I'll work on a thread.

@Byzantium
You're free to come as the ERE if you like. It was the Turks who got invaded by the counter-revolution, but the Byzantines might want to celebrate the general 'communism is bad' thing.

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=83406

IC thread


In order to keep things sane and moving along, I'd like to conduct things in a specific way:

Each particular 'tour' will consist of, basically, a Q&A session. I'll make a post introducing the place and doing the standard tour guide spiel, then the first person in the post order will do a post, either asking a question or making their observation. If they ask a question, I'll answer it and the next person will repeat the process down the list. You'll have three RL days to make your post before you get skipped and moved to the back of the line. Once at the back of the line, you'll have three more days which, if those expire, will result in your losing your chance to talk.

The state dinner at the Winter Palace will be more of a chance to just sort of mingle and talk if anybody feels like it. Some Russian uppity-ups will be present and, of course, you're all free to plot and plan and backstab. The 'free days' will probably best be handled just by everybody summing up anything they care to visit. I'll have my guide fellow make some suggestions and list a few things off to start those.

Basically this is an IC way of explaining a little history and letting everybody get a taste of Russian culture in the year 3220.

The posting order will be determined by order of sign-up after this post.

The Morningstar Coalition would welcome the opportunity to attempt to open relations with the Russian Empire. That said, my OOC situation isn't too friendly to frequent and timely posting lately. Would it be permitted if I establish ICly that there is a Morningstar delegation present, and I will drop in as and when I can make posts. This means it's okay to skip me during the scheduled posts, and I'll catch up during the free-for-all sections.

Another concern, would the Russians refuse delegations which included non-humans?
