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!
Spoiler! :
Alliance
The USSR (and its towns) all become friendly with the other town. We try to help you when we can and if you need it. No obvious changes happen (apart from possible embassies in each others capital). Its an average alliance, pretty straight forward.
Becoming a USSR town
Joining the USSR makes the town become apart of our empire (The leaders will automatically be inducted into the USSR as well, therefore joining your town is more of a privilege ). Saying this, the town itself stays independent and is ruled by its leaders the same way as if it hadn't joined the USSR. The real difference is that during events (like PvP or the Olympics) we all come together under one banner. We will help our towns grow and look after them as if we built them ourselves and we will try to make easy transport between all of them. Each town will also need to fly the awesome USSR flag a white and green checker pattern.
The downside is people apart if the USSR need to keep up to date with the happenings in the USSR itself be it good or bad. (like leaders leaving) and are also expected to help the USSR do things. Plans made by the USSR may actually effect the towns under our banner as well, although it usually doesnt.
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.

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...

And... he's wonderful."
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.
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.

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.

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 !

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!

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

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.
