The USSR general discussion thread!

[Volstag9]

random did you read about the new PvP map?

Everybody has by this point, but more importantly have you read about the Behemoth Spleef Tourny i will be hosting sometime next week? http://www.escapecraft.net/phpBB3/viewt ... 723#p54723
Also the faction map does look good, its worth an explore, but after that, the whole faction/PvP thing gets boring. Minecraft wasnt designed for PvP, it was designed for creating.

well... not entirely invincible. It blew up. apparently it took thousands of tnt and most of the factions. It got raided but i imagine we'll go back.

until the PVP world, theres not much of a reason to build a base.

We WERE working on the 38 but apparently no one wants to work on that either.

Also Saphiri is a lag fest currently. but we'll do something with it eventually.

[random980]

Well i won the PvP build comp, asian themed devision!
Now i have royalty which means i get a /sethome DDDDD
More importantly does ANYONE HAS TEH WOOLS!!?!?!? (or snow) more wool needed for more expansion work
And vol could you change the description of Solar City back to "A small village literally floating in the air, Its know for its amazing views, good looking buildings and for its unique spleef court, known as the Fog Pit. Solar City is one of the best known locations for viewing sunsets/rises in all of escapia. It continually undergoes border expansion at this time."

Also change dwarf city from being a successful town to a ghost town
And could you also add my position of Royal Architect to the positions list?

And cross out 12 and 28 on the 'to-do' list

I have an overproductive tree farm and I would be glad to get rid of donate some wood to any cause in the USSR. I would also like to know if I may build a fort for the USSR and if it may be made of wood.

[random980]

The wood may be very helpful when it comes to building the insides of our newest fort (under construction), The Twisted Twin Towers. Although none of us have been bothered to continue building it lately... (mainly my fault)
As soon as the mystery bastard lag goes and i finish that bowling ally, ill grab that wood off you and continue with the towers. Or give the wood to Byroe, Vol, Jonnybo or Power

[Byroe]

i think we should restore the USSR in escapecraft, we should make it successful like we did in evercraft. we gotta get organized again.

Yeah we do :/
We need to start knocking things off our to do list again. *cough* finish the airport *cough*
In 5-6 hours time i should be lag free and will be on Escapecraft

I put it in a chest at my house in the Saphiri Sea port. My house is the glass/stone/brick building.

Cool, ill be sure to grab it when i start doing the insides of the twisted towers in fyra, as soon as i finish my bowling ally and finish the towers outsides...
Ill grab it in about a month >_<
dont forget to leave the chest unlocked or passworded so i can grab it

Well I think i'll hold on to it until after the lock restart, as most people now don't bother opening chests because they may be locked. And do you want planks or logs?

[random980]

Give me logs, if i need planks i can always make them myself. (if you have any planks already ill take those to)

[Volstag9]

Thought i'd give an update on the Lucky 38: It's going surprisingly well. Exteriors done. In all honesty its looking pretty nice! We have new things outside the casino to build now too. If any of you want to see it just ask.

Also byroe has expressed interest in taking over Trevmonkey's expansive store for those who remember it. We need to contact a mod.

[Byroe]

yes, and we also need ideas for casino games, so if you have any, please tell me

[powerfulkingt]

Fulk here, giving an important update:

2011-08-28_23.35.13.png

What this is, is a new symbol for us, just how Corinth has the C for Corinthian, Now we have an S for Saphirian. Could we make this our symbol?

[random980]

Looks cool but, it could be easily greifed into a swastika...
Try making a fancy 'U' for USSR

Other news, work on the twisted towers will start up again very soon
It will also be my major project, therefore I WILL NOT STOP WORKING ON IT UNTIL ITS DONE!!!
(ok i lied, i am taking part in the big build 3 with 967, but after THAT TTT will be my main focus)

[697134002]

I love how 3 numbers can be butchered so much.

[powerfulkingt]

I like the S better but getting a city cuboid prevents it from becoming griefed soo, yeah.

Cubeoiding it would be good
Idea, how about putting the Simpsons "Stone Cutter' logo in the background (Its a double ended hammer)

697! I MEAN 697! not 967... sorry

A city cubiod? AHHH so much money!

As for the symbol, i'm fine with the idea of a symbol/crest. Only problem it will be difficult to replicate everywhere. Also i really REALLY like my green and while checkered pattern (i spent hours on it!). I don't mind using the symbol for engraving into walls and squares, and the pattern for flags and banners.

What would be cool is if we could combine both of them and still actually look good.

Also a "U" might be more appropriate as it would be difficult to make crests for every city (What would Solar's be if Saphiri already has an "S"? Not to mention Blackthorn's). But i cant think of any design that wouldn't just look like the inverted Corinth Crest

[jonnybo72]

man someone should start another town for the ussr there haven't been any new recruits lately and people are only leaving...

[random980]

We dont need more/new towns.
We need to start advertising the ones we already have to new players.
Solar City has been doing well, ive only been getting people in (i have only 2 plots left!)
As for the crest and banner i agree, banners and flags are the green and white and the crest can be engraved everywhere. A crest will also look better then the green and white in the side of the entrance to Solar City.
Think of the flag as our national/country flag and the crest as our coat of arms.
If anyone wants to see what a Solar City embassy looks like, go visit Darkend

[aflycon]

But i cant think of any design that wouldn't just look like the inverted Corinth Crest

Problem, rival empire?

damn trolls, GTFO of our thread. Kthnxby
I suggest we use the Simpsons 'Stone Cutter' Logo though.

[Zehydra]

Hey, how's the USSR doing?(other than being disbanded) Is Saphiri still populated?

It's been a while since I was over in Terra (I've been in West Fyra, over by Benchwood)

[random980]

USSR disbanded? wah?
We were going to disband but then i was able to convince Volstag and Byroe to just change the direction of the USSR, so it became less of a chore for everyone. (We mainly focus on coming together for projects, rather than focusing on running whole empire/cities)
Also you should come visit Solar City again, its grown a fair bit! and more free cake would be nice.

[Byroe]

Ok guys, sax gave me a great idea, i've noticed our membership has been dropping and we arnt getting as many people as we used too, but i have a solution. we should make a policy for recruiting, we should make it so that anyone who wants to join the USSR has to get the approval of the majority of the senior officials (Byroe, Volstag9, Powerfulkingt jonnybo, random980, and saxaphonepwns.) this would help regulate the people coming into the faction and give more freedom to the members. we could also so this for things we are going to do, where we do what the majority of the seniors say. (say if we have a choice of building a flying base or underwater base. we all vote on it, and we go with the majority.) and because we would have separated powers, we would never have to worry about not being on when something important would be happening and we can work on our own companies for our own timezones. if we do this, membership will no longer be an issue, because we can individually work on our own recruitment and also bring the republic back to the USSR because the Officials can elect their own minor officials and so on.

[Byroe]

i also think we should have a list of our members with their ranks.
i have already written up a rough one.
USSR membership
*Volstag9, Leader
*Byroe, Leader
*Saxaphonepwns, Leader
*Rbk95, Leader
*random980, Leader
*jonnybo72, Sergeant Major
*LegendkillerRKO, Private first class
*Xhairs, 1ST Lieutenant
*Bkim, Private first class
*Sir_luke, Sergeant Major
*Treyshark, Corporal
*Se7enty_Se7en, Specialist
*SirDoom, Private first class
*xhairs, Staff sergeant
*many more people, to be added later.

the USSR comeback on escapecraft starts today!

[ziggylord]

[Byroe]

ok i only need one more recomendation any of the leaders wanna teast me?

Volstag9, sax, or random, he wants to join the ussr. he was already ok'd by power and i, and he just needs one more test from one of you to get into the ussr.

[random980]

OK. here is my test,
A forum test.
Find in the Forums the (new) Co-ords for Solar City. Travel to Solar City, place a sign with your name IN the 'Fog Pit'. Also search via forum in which 'Weekly Event' i won my royalty in. ALSO tell me which event i just hosted in the 'Fog Pit'. Lastly tell me which country i come from.

The forums makes people less ignorant in the happenings of Escapecraft. I hate ignorant people, they stuff up everything. Prove to me you are not ignorant and i will gladly recommend you.
have fun mate, hope to see you next as a member of the USSR
(post answers in this thread) (extra points if you can tell me who designed Solar Citys flag).
