DEMOCRACY: Politics in Samgola [Political Party | Single Nation RP]

The year is 1993.

The Samgolan Civil War is over. A political revolution carried out by the Samgolan People's Front spilled out into the streets and the National Regime, a puppet administration under President Muyongo Rubusana, crumpled almost immediately. For four long years, political turmoil, local militia's and fear were widespread. The war is over and the Samgolan People's Front has been defeated, it's leaders arrested and prepared to stand trial for treason and actions against the state. It is turn for the voice of the people to once again be heard in the Assembly of Samgola.

This is a PoliSim game where the fundamental unit is the Political Party. This will be relatively light action wise but there will be lots of stats present to help players make decisions. There will be elections, bills and crises on which your party will vote to gain new supporters to eventually gain a majority.

I didn’t notice that the OOC was up until I woke up today XD

@Lauder

It's fine. Just send me your Clan application whenever possible.

It's fine. Best to let the personalities of the Orc NPC Chieftain's play out a little bit first. Orcs rule through fear, not respect.

@Theodorable

I have 2 questions.

1: What's a Greyhusk?

2: How come the NPC chieftains don't get to put an issue forward?

@rush99999

1. A Greyhusk is an orc that is past their mating prime.
2. They are mostly reactive and will support the PC chieftains. They will also be replaced by PC players. (Currently got 1 new Clan to add, so 1 NPC Chieftain to remove).

The festival is destined to allow people's Chieftains to meet the others and flesh out their characters as well as pick what issues will be important in the Lowlands.

From The South, They Come (Mid-Fantasy Nation/Faction Orc RP)

Anyone can post first, Zell. But whoever is assigned [Week 1] is the only one who can bring up the first issue.

@Theodorable

Just to make sure I don't do anything stupid, the rules for this round are: We can post character stuff in the IC thread but have to PM what topic we'd like to bring up in the meeting to you. Also we can't do any of the regular actions listed above until after the festival. Did I get it?

@Dogematix

You can bring up the issue in the IC. This is basically giving the Lowlands some directions. You bring up an issue and what you think should happen and the other Chieftains put in their input. No regular actions are taken yet as all the Chieftains are participating in the Hottgut.

Spring, Turn 0: The Hottgug Festival

The city of Grunn was unique. It was the only orc settlement south of the Great River that was never allowed to be under the rule of a single Clan. Instead, it was a communal settlement carved into the Hottgug Mountain. Grunn was also home to the Hall of Life, where shamans studied, trained and learned how to talk to the ancient spirits. Banners hung from all around the city. The Warmonger clan, the Mawnsta Clan, all of them, as their hosts marched to it's cusp and camped. The Hottgug Festival was party and politic alike. Orcs drank, partied and fought. Only during the Hottgug was bloodshed allowed within the village. And it was a great opportunity for ambitious young warriors who sought to challenge a Chieftain in front of a crowd.

Huts popped up in an otherwise sleepy little village that dotted the Marggg River, and from it the Hottgug Festival started, lasting nearly four weeks. For unbloodied warriors, it was an opportunity to take part in the Games--where by winning one of the many competitions there, they could leave the village themselves as a feared warrior of their clan. For the shamans, it was often a time to meet with the masters of the Hall of Life, from whose tower often spoke wisdom and shared knowledge. For the Clan Chieftains however, it was a time for delegation, challenge and strategy. Few times would the Chieftains of opposing clans come to meet to talk, to challenge, to deliberate.
