The Republic of Melsonia - Recruitment suspended

[Ignus]

The People's Republic of Melsonia needs YOU! ::points finger::

Are you lonely?
Do the bourgeois pigs steal from you and spit in your food?
Do you dream of overthrowing the capitalist system in a wide-ranging social revolution?
Well Melsonia may be the place for you!

::lowers finger, embraces you in an intimate yet manly hug while stroking your hair and whispering that it will be ok::

The Central Planning Committee is currently looking for:

• Fresh faced babes ready to learn and work.
• Vigilant foragers and tireless farmers, to tap the wonders of the world's natural beauty and bring it home for us to eat and stuff in our heads.
• Hardy miners to dig until their fingers bleed and their muscles tear, only to carry on digging until his countrymen, eyes welling with tears of pride, tell him "You've done enough, Comrade, you've done enough"

Desired qualities of a prospective Melsonian:

• Some basic experience of the game. If you haven't had a taste of life as a repressed hermit you can't appreciate the sweet, tasty ambrosia of freedom (and toil).
• An amiable disposition is mandatory.
• Must be inclined to give more than they receive. Communists and what-not.
• The ability to speak conversational English.
• Must be active.

::releases you from hug, hands you a form. You think there are patriotic tears in his eyes::

-Gives more than they receive. We ARE communists after all

Who will get what is left over?

-Gives more than they receive. We ARE communists after all

Who will get what is left over?

"We share what you own". Basic communistic ideal, obviously the government will take all what's left.

[Ignus]

Who will get what is left over?

It will be rendered down and turned into a statue of Glorious Leader that can be seen for miles around so as to better inspire the people in their toiling. Or distributed to those that most need it. Either one's good.

Age: 30

Country: Italy

Languages spoken: Italian, English

Previous village experience: none at all. I've only started playing a week or so ago, and have been living as a hermit, only speaking to, iirc, 4 people in total I like to think I'm doing fine so far despite being a newbie.

Desired role: "In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic." K. Marx
More concretely, I'd like to become a ranger/fighter/hunter eventually, possibly helping the strife of the proletariat by raping, pillaging and burning, but in the meantime I'm willing to do anything there's a need for, and that even includes (a bit of) fishing!

Current skill levels: going from memory: unarmed 20, marksmanship 25, exploration 15, survival 15, carpentry 10, farming 10. That is all

Average play time per week: probably upwards of 12 hours

Further details to demonstrate your undying love of Melsonia: "If we have chosen the position in life in which we can most of all work for Our Glorious Leader Ignus, no burdens can bow us down, because they are sacrifices for the benefit of Melsonia; then we shall experience no petty, limited, selfish joy, but our happiness will belong to millions, our deeds will live on quietly but perpetually at work, and over our ashes will be shed the hot tears of noble people." K. Marx

[Wafflecide]

Age: 24
Country: U.S.A.
Languages spoken: English
Previous village experience: None. I've just been been a hermit for a few days.
Desired role: Farmer, Rancher? Really anything necessary for the mother land.
Current skill levels: Almost nothing. Some exploration, lumber jacking, carpentry, and almost farming. I need to stare at a cow cone or two.
Average play time per week: Daily. The hours I've played in two days are slightly embarrassing.
Further details to demonstrate your undying love of Melsonia: *Cries pure, manly tears of love for the mother land.*
In game name: Varan. Unless, I wake up to bears again.

As a socialist myself I could really get behind this!


The cause of labour is the cause of Ireland. The cause of Ireland is the cause of labour -James Connolly

Age : Lets just say women like wine tend to.. OMIGOSH LOOK OVER THERE IT'S LENIN! *smokebomb*
Country : Take a stab.
Languages spoken : English, Some Gaelic, some German, Extremely basic cyrillic and an ability to slowly, labouriously, translate russian brought about by playing this very game.
Previous village experience : Lawspeaker of Throttigr Kelda (q90~ water spot in W2, focal point of some drama therein), Leader of a wagon caravan in W3, later Roaming Ranger in W3 working with several villages but part of none, Sat W4 out.
Desired role : As others have pointed out this is a trick question, a true worker of the socialist world republic does anything and everything his fellow man needs! I could do anything and well. But would personally prefer either factory work (mining, smithing) or if not that ranching/livestock specifically in ideal settings.
Current skill levels : 35-50 in all crafts but smithing. Combat is higher but publicly vague. Young character but a seasoned player, I won't take long at all to rocket up.
Average play time per week : 30ish hours a week if I want to, my work at home lets me keep HnH up while I peck at it
Notes : I do assume there is access to metal? I do assume this is more than a one man show? What assurances do I have this is actually a socialist enterprise? Many villages have tried to sell themselves as communist or socialist only to be veiled grabs for cheap manpower and easy wealth funded by the ideals of others before the leader skips the sinking ship of his own mismanagement... For details you don't want to share with the world and questions I would wish the same. PM me.
Further details to demonstrate your undying love of Melsonia :
A whisper goes around the hearthlands:
Worker, don't you hear it?
these are the voices of war chieftans:
Worker don't you hear them?
Clay and steel producers are whispering,
Battering ram production is whispering too,
The whispering comes from all supergrids:
Mobilisation against the Melsonite union!

Miners, Farmers, Arm yourselves,
Arm yourselves with swords.
Annihilate the fascist bandit raiders,
set all Hearths on Fire!
Plant your Red banners of Labour
On every Palisade, on every Claim.
Rising from the ruins
of the old world
The socialist World Republic!

Workers hear, they gather for battle,
And shout for nation and forum.
This is a war of Hearthland Lawspeakers
Against the working class!
Because the assault against the Melsonite Union
Is a strike in the heart of the Revolution.
And the War, which sweeps through hearthlands now,
Is a war against you Proletarian-!

Miners, Farmers, Arm yourselves,
Arm yourselves with swords.
Annihilate the fascist bandit raiders,
set all Hearths on Fire!
Plant your Red banners of Labour
On every Palisade, on every Claim.
Rising from the ruins
of the old world
The socialist World Republic!

A good application.

I like this guy.

I got a glimmermoss and an enthroned toad today just to 'Keep up with everyone else'. Sounds pretty sharing to me, I guess. We all work for the greater good, put it that way.
