  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Revolution!

Ok, this is an idea I had for a near-future RPG. This is the intro I wrote up, and I will start the actual thread if I can get some people to join up.:)

The year is 2057, in a small country in Eastern Europe that was a colony of the German Protectorate. Rovnia is its name, and just 8 years after declaring its independence from the GP, the Communist Party won the election. The seemingly kind party chairman proved to be an oppressive despot, and his poor leadership threatens to destroy this land's economy. Marshal law is in command of keeping the "peace", and the cruel military is bullying the citizens of Rovnia around without restraint.

However, this cruel military is not very large in the international spectrum, and they are poorly equipped. A man named Gerwulf Drakenstein is trying to lead the people of Rovnia to rebel against the oppressive government and restore freedom to the Rovnian people. He has recieved several grants and donated supplies and munitions from various private parties and special interest groups, but most soldiers will still need to improvise for implements of war. But what he really needs is soldiers, willing to take up arms and fight for a better future. Ready a weapon, leave your belongings, and take back what is yours!

Most likely.......just one Q....does this Europe in the RPG bear any resemblance to Europe now? I just need to know if I'll need to do any research. Not that that'll discourage me from joining, just need to know if any research is required.

Ugh.....hope that made sense.....

Not too much different. This is a plae that wont benefit from any tech boosts that the USA or UK, or any other major countries would. It would pretty much be like America' standard of living, only under a cruel and oppressive dictatorship.(and I know there are people out there that would argue that America IS under a cruel and oppressive dictatorship, but lets leave that discussion to the politics forums.)

First, it would not be called the communist party, it would be called the Green party and would be run by I, only with more martian parties.

And in the future everyone will speak English(that is, American) and use US dollars, cuz' US will eat you.

Well, Starcraft seems dead right away (I hate when that happens!), and X-Com can't last long with so few members, so I guess I could join this one.
