Deport all traditionalists to 13th century

Sure, why not. I'd be chillin' in my family manor all day long, raking in the profits taken from all the filthy peasants working my fields

Yes, but you would not have electricity, heavy metal, cRPGs, treated water, vaccines, penicillin, anaesthetics, internet, cinema, etc. You get a disease and they would put leeches on your body. You need to be operated and they sew your leg off. LOL That’s not life, having peasants or not.

Silence, churl, and get back to work. And don't forget to pay the taxes I've just raised.

 

[Irenaeus]

The devs seem like a weird combination of communists/libruls themselves.

You are missing the big picture here. Just imagine the outrage from SJWs when they find out that you can be a racist in this game! They will make massive campaigns to downvote this game, gamergate will react, a shitstorm on social media will ensue. It will be glorious! This will be the most discussed game in the year, and certainly one of the most discussed games in the history of the Codex. This is gold, pure gold. I’m calling it.

This is interesting, but I couldn't care less about SJWs actions. I want them out of gaming industry.

The slavers in ToN feel guilty for being slavers, for fucks sake. We need politically incorrect games badly, and this game will do it. Think about it. If FO2 were released today, Myron would cause a shit storm.

But you can talk to me from the other side of the world, paint your hair with pink collors and change your sex. That's wonderfu!

I was also truly upset seeing a small subset of slavers not entirely happy with their lives, if only they were exactly like the slavers in FO2.

ToN spoiler

Ignore that the slavers in the Bloom are convinced of the righteousness of the system and slave owners being more than a little dismissive of their slaves.

Fenix, by 'fascism' I mean fascism rather than only National Socialism - it includes the ideologies of the Estado Novo, Franco's Spain, Mussolini's Italy, and so on. They are fascist because the strength of the country is their paramount interest, and it must be achieved at any cost through total unity, as nicely symbolised by the fasces.

Many strands of fascism claim to be anti-racist, such as Brazilian integralism, which explicitly states that it wants a union of all races within a strong nation that subsumes petty individual aspirations. I am not sure what you mean by 'internationalist', because in the Russian sense it often means 'anti-racist', as opposed to 'anti-nationalist' or 'transnationalist'. The Sovietophile is usually hostile to ordinary Trotsky-style Communism with its social experiments and transnationalism, and only supports small nation nationalism if it benefits 'Russian interests', so Hungarian or Ukrainian nationalism is bad, Angolan or Arab nationalism is good. In practice, he is usually an extreme Russian nationalist, and this tendency became more pronounced during Stalinism or by the early 1980s. Exceptions are made for those who serve the Russian state faithfully - they are basically made into honorary Russians, like Stalin himself.

Fascism and Soviet Communism coexist perfectly in Alexander Kharchikov, a singer. Kharchikov is positive about Great Russian nationalism, Stalinism, and the Russian Empire. He is highly militaristic, and most of the clips have military marches. He thinks traitors to the nation, defined very broadly indeed, should be killed or imprisoned or at least beaten up. Most Jews are awful to him, except those who serve the Russian state - these even deserve the honour not to be called 'kikes'. Anyone who opposes Russians is evil, especially if they are from the Russian 'sphere of influence'. I see a lot of such people among the Russian elderly.


Translation:

Spoiler

Amidst plague and hunger, cold and darkness
Lie the remnants of a once great country.
Hey, anyone alive there? Warm your heart with ire,
Do not shed tears in vain.

Our father is Stalin, our mother is our Motherland,
Our sister and friend is the Soviet Rule,
Our guardian is Sergius, our ally is Rus,
Our comrade is the Soviet Union.

This is our land, our torn Rome.
Zionist Huns are abusing it.
Let our Stalin's USSR
Inspire those who refuse to be enslaved.

He is a true Russian on the Russian Land
Who ordered himself to stand by her.
Only he deserves Russia forever
Who goes into the battle for Russia.

Susanin was a Russian, Tsar Peter was a Russian,
And we are not exiles, but the Russian Folk.
Let us raise firm leaders, like Stalin,
In the name of our victory!

Remember, friends, how, nobly simple,
He toasts to the Russian Folk -
Teacher and leader, ruler and sage,
Our Russian Georgian father!

For contrast, consider the Communist totalitarian revolutionary state that the USSR was in the 1920s. It was aggressively opposed to 'Great Russian chauvinism' and mocked it at every turn. It was extremely negative about Orthodox Christianity and national myths - a good example would be the formerly popular poet Demyan Bedny, who was ostracised in the 1930s for his mock-epic about the baptism of Russia. This state was fixated on social transformation, such as changing the family and the role of women, whereas afterwards the state was apathetic about it. When was the last time you saw a feminist Sovietophile, or at least someone who is negative about traditional families? It was respectful towards small nation nationalisms and promoted minority languages. In other words, it was totalitarian, but radically different from the state that we could see by the 1980s, or the state that modern lovers of the USSR would support.

What is ToN btw?

The British tonne (i/tʌn/) (British and SI; SI symbol: t), which is the same as the metric ton in the United States, is a non-SI metric unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms;[1][2][3][4] or one megagram (Mg); it is equivalent to approximately 2,204.6 pounds,[5] 1.10 short tons (US) or 0.984 long tons (imperial). Although not part of the SI per se, the tonne is "accepted for use with" SI units and prefixes by the International Committee for Weights and Measures, along with several other units like the bar, litre and day.[6]

In reality Communism, at least USSR type has nothing in common with Nazism, fascism etc, because you can't find any country where Communism coexisted with Nazism or fascism - they always fought with each other, which empirically indicate their opposites.

Zed Duke of Banville these cartoons should mean something?

Regarding western definitions of fascism, Stalin and Hitler can be buddies on the authoritarian basis. Meanwhile USA invested billions of dollars in Hitler’s Germany; Poland, Great Britain and France signed non-aggression treaties with Hitler before Stalin did; even aftermath Nazis of all ranks run away and hid from Stalin under western protectorate. These and other facts do not make western world and Hitler as buddies. Western definition of fascism designed to cover that western world shares the same fascist values as Hitler. It were the leaders of Poland, Great Britain and France all shook hands with Hitler, not Stalin. These cartoons are to inform westerners about it.

So I can equip two items at a time, huh?

Totally bro. Dual wield cigarettes and alcohol. Or alcohol and a gun. We want the item slots to be a combo of tactical and mundane. Mundane tactical? Anyway, you get the point. Also, some substances (like GHB) are dual wielded because you hold the plastic bottle in one hand, the cap in the other, then pour the GHB into the cap to sip it.

Lovin' this thread btw. Especially the dude who wanted to be a "reasonable traditionalist". No but really, we're approaching the thing with humour and criticism rather than pushing agendas, so all the ideologies are under scrutiny here. Also, playing a reasonable burkean conservative seams like the most boring job on the planet, like playing a social democrat or something. Our world building -- remember: it isn't *this* world the game takes place in -- doesn't allow for such lukewarm builds. There is a lukewarm ideology we call Moralism that's endemic (in this form) to our setting. But even that is lukewarm in a very ominous way...

 

[Marat Sar]

at least let us roleplay as Knights Templar-tier law enforcers who don't take no hippie fuck alive

I'm afraid that's possible, yes, but in real life as well as the game -- it leads to comical and indeed pitiful situations unless you have a high Authority skill.

And thanks.

Tactane?
Mundactical?

Now -- was there anything more game-related?

I have a question provoked by the aftermath of the Tworment fiasco.

Mind you, it might be a silly question because I stopped following this game almost right when it was announced and this preview was the first thing I've read about it since then, but: how do you intend to make No Truce different from "Walking Around Talking to NPCs: The Game"?

I think they already answered a similar question in this topic.

Please, don't. At this point, MCA minnor involvement in other cRPGs is a bad omen, or a curse, because they all end up like shit.
