Russia in Crimea

Vice News has some really good coverage of Crimea. Five 'dispatches' so far.

Dispatch One

And according to their latest video (Dispatch Five), the Russians appear to be trying to actively provoke the Ukranian military. Apparently Russian troops jumped over the wall of a Ukranian airforce base with their weapons drawn, threatening to shoot after the Ukranians refused to give the base up.

Supposedly they've been doing similar things across Crimea, but they never take it too far. They go in trying to provoke the Ukranians, and then leave when they realize the Ukranians aren't falling for it. So my guess is they're trying to justify a more forceful takeover or something, and what better way to do that then to get the Ukranians to fire the first shot?

Alright...I hope that the in-jokes won't be abundant. Half of the wiki is memes.

Another reason why the wiki shouldn't be taken very seriously.

If you have specific questions, ask them here or wait for the lore summaries we're writing up. Whatever is in those summaries will be canon.

Beware of the wiki.

It's very, very incomplete. And a lot of its articles aren't even canon anymore. We have been running a lot of years, and through those years we have seen players make a lot of bullshit moves that make no sense, and that we somehow let pass. But a lot of it is being wiped off the official canon when we decide to move the RP here. There may be inconsistencies and contradictions in there too.

Basically, the wiki's alright if you want a very bare-bones idea of what may be happening in some places, but you shouldn't go there looking for an absolute answer on something. You're better off asking us here. But as said before, we'll be making some lore summaries for new potential players to read when we make the move.

As for our nations:
Aaron is China.
Vilageidiot is Ethiopia.
I am Germany/Prussia
Gorgenmast is Spain
TheEvanCat is Armenia.

There's a few other people around but those are the main player nations right now. And of course, we've had plenty of other players play other nations in the past, but we've lost a lot of people to a lot of reasons.

Things may seem very specific because again, we've been running for like.. three years, at least one or two of those nonstop. So there is already plenty of established lore that is considered canon, that we'd like to keep that way.

Is this area is a lake or land between two rivers

Having been in the last version of the RP, I can confirm it's a lake. So are the similar parts east of that.

I used to think going running while it was cool was better. Decided to do it and quickly found out how much harder it becomes to breath. Maybe it was a personal problem, I don't know.
