Hello there folks! I thought that today would be a good time to put up a thread for the USSR as almost every other town/country happens to have one... I'm really slow at this.

Anyway this will be a thread for discussing anything that has to do with Saphiri and the country, the United Soviet Saphirian Republics (USSR for short). Also if anyone wants to live in our city or have their town willingly join our country they can post here. But more on that below.

FAQs

What is the USSR?

I'm glad you asked. The USSR is best described as a guild or organization of towns and cities all across Escapecraft. If your town joins the USSR you can expect to receive plenty of aid with building or projects if you ask for it! The more people that are working on a project, the faster and often better it becomes. It will certainly become a lot more fun!

So is the USSR just an Alliance?

Not exactly. I think we go a lot deeper than that. In PvP we all fight under the same banner and we all on the same projects. Our member cities are all independent and we don't force anyone to do anything. But we operate under the philosophy of "Power in Numbers"

Random's Explanation below! Do I Have to own a town to join?

Not at all! individuals can join if they want! You can choose to join a member town later, or simply live on your own. Most of the planning is done through this forum thread so you shouldn't miss anything.


Effective immediately, this is our new national anthem.

The Empire's Holdings

Los Doshgas - The Capital of the USSR. It's the only one of our member states that isn't owned by an owner in a traditional sense. It is owned and operated by the USSR's government. Eventually our headquarters will be built there. Its located in Eastern Fyra. There are plots available to whoever wants them. Contains the Lucky 38 casino. (See Byroe, Random, or Volstag for information.

Saphiri - The first USSR town and one of the oldest still intact settlements on Escapecraft. Since the other worlds have come online, the town has fallen into disuse. It is rather overcrowded and there are no plots available. There is a movement to restore the city however. (See Volstag9 for information.)

Solar City - A floating city in the sky! Features a spleef arena and fantastic views. It has been [3]days since a fatality! See Random for plot information. In Version 3.

Silver Bay - Our newest attempt at running a town. It is a wonderful seaside community and is currently the USSR's only outpost in Borjan. See just about anyone for information. Plots are filling up fast!

Port Royal - A new successful port town in northern Fyra. Conveniently has its own thread! - http://www.escapecraft.net/phpBB3/viewt ... =19&t=4355 (See SMWadser for information)

The Seasons Community - A combination of 4 separate towns in one easy to see package. Here's a thread: http://www.escapecraft.net/phpBB3/viewt ... =19&t=7028 and here's a leader :Mattybcd

Blackthorn - Currently in Limbo whether or not it is part of the USSR. (Nevertheless see Powerfulkingt for information)

Cottonmouth - A castle far to the north of the continent which Saphiri is on. It is known as a great example of Luke's military designs. (see Sir_Luke for information)

The Twisted Towers - There towers and they're twisted! Otherwise known as our northern Fyra outpost. See Random.

Dwarf City - A Rocky city/fortress inside a floating island! Founded by a bunch of bored mods and USSR leaders! See Korten.

(Note: If any town leader wants to add their own description feel free to tell me.)

Our current situation:
Population - Overall, I have no idea. Roughly 20 active members.

Leaders!
The USSR has 3 equal leaders. They all have the same power and they vote on major standings. IF you have a problem, ask one of them!

-Volstag9
-Byroe
-Random980
-ALL HAIL DISARMEDFRED, GOD EMPEROR

(More positions to come soon, town leaders are mentioned in there descriptions.)

List of things that need doing,

1. finish the clocktower
2. finish/start on the HQ - hiatus.
3. finish making the roads and plots in los doshgas - sort of finished.
4. make a train station that will connect any town in fyra that wants to be connected

Did you add Soviet and Republics just to make it say USSR or are you actually Soviet and a bunch of republics?

More of the second one. Although only about 50 - 60 percent of our population is soviet but we are "Working" on the rest... And most of the towns we have are basically independent....

The REAL story behind the name is that it sounded cool. i believe byroe was the one who came up with the idea. I'm still not quite sure about the political beliefs of our residents however...

Yay, I'm prominent.

DuplicateValue wrote:Yay, I'm prominent.

Congratulations! This is quite an honor.

I think I'll add posistions for others in the future.

Very nice Volstag.

Sir_Luke wrote:Very nice Volstag.

Thanks Luke, by the way what is the name of your Castle, i'll add it to your position.

So very sadly, I cannot play until we get the server updated.. But you can add it anyways, it's called Cottonmouth castle and it has no settlement rules because nobody really 'lives' there.

WHOA! I'll nab the Minecraft .bin folder from my laptop!

Yes my town of sunburn village is an actual one, its just under construction. also byroe said that you (volstag) wanted to talk to me about it? Also its not officially a part of the USSR, but i would like it to be.
AND FOR GODS SAKE DONATE WOOL PLEASE!!!

(also i updated MC like a durp so im off the server for i while)

EDIT: WAIT i have another pc with MC on it!!! ^_^
if i can just find a usb...

Ok everything is changed and consider your town joined. Just put up the USSR flag (ours not the real one) it's a green and white checkerd pattern.

Oh and im in sniper's house.

tanisjihanis wrote:Oh and im in sniper's house.

uh... Are you saying that you live in sniper's house in Saphiri? Or something else...

I take it that you are still allies with draconax? we need to strengthen the trade route as ou shops have taken an economic blow and or iron is runing on empty. We were sort of he DSSR as well which fits even more! (allthough its up to delphi whether he confirms it) however just wanted to say two things
1 could you mention us as allies?
2 any time you need any help or supplies or a refuge just come across the water to us
p.s i never realized how the big the city had gotten while i hadnt visited, but what used to take about a 3 minute walk now takes 30 seconds! well done volstag !

If i get some more wool ill happily add the USSR of Escapecraft flag
(DONTATE WOOL PLEASE)

Consider both things done!

as for your economic situation, you guys can use both of our mines as a starting point. Also we should do a joint building project sometime!

And thanks!

What of a mega fortress? ive construted half of one in a matter of days, with help granted.
But if theres a big ennough space in near both our towns we could construct it as a safe haven for both our peoples? Also it would be frikkin HUGE!

Huh, super construction between both cities eh?
Yes, I like the idea.

I like the idea but im not really sure where we could build it. You can basically see Draconax from Saphiri and vise versa.

Huzzah, we finally have a thread! i have been dreaming of this day!

ps

did you say iron? i think we can help each other out (i have 10 stacks of it)

Y U NO HELP OUT ME?

See you all S00N,

Sur_Lukey

Hurrah! I'd love to takwe some iron off your hands, do you accept diamonds?

I have A lot of diamonds... I have A lot of diamonds...... I have A LOT of diamonds!

I just finished the first fort. Fort Tachikoma, it is located near sunburn village, you cant miss it. i will constantly keep it stocked with supplies if you need any.

Why can't you wait for me to be able to get back on the server before you start building forts? You all know I get sheer joy out of building fortifacations!

the plot for the hospital is under construction and will be done soon.
to make the plot, i had to merge 3 of them together, including the one with the tree thing.

Very good Byroe! I hope too see it before it's finished (IE soon)!

Hospital is done, i used 40 TNT too clear the mountain tho.
everyone say thank you Wokka, for making the hospital.
