MrFly Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Who agrees with me? A server that has the map of Newcraft and vector city. You get a pre picked job such as writing stories, lumberjack and other things. It is tekkit based and you have to pay electrical taxes. Also police officers and of course there would be governments. Like dictatorship, communism and freedom (America). Within those three governments the King/Ruler/President makes all the rules from there on out. Who agrees this would be majorly fun? Quote
Xylord Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 freedom (America). ...lol. Americanism much? Btw, if I'm the dictator, I want my people to call me the "Tsar". I always thought that sounded better than just king. Quote
xxmikegigsxx Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Sounds like it would be a lot of fun, but you would need to do a lot of map editing to make the wires and I believe the vector city make creator said no server can use the map. Quote

Adlersch Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 ...lol. Americanism much? Btw, if I'm the dictator, I want my people to call me the "Tsar". I always thought that sounded better than just king. Think he meant that he wants a constitutional presidential bicameral democratic republic, similar to or identical to America's system. Or he's just very proud of his country. Anyways, a Tsar is an emperor - his power is, like a king's - inherited unless he (Obviously) manages a coup d'etat. If one is simply a dictator then one does not necessarily pass on power to one's children. ...Then again, I'm just being picky about governments and their differences - maybe instead of a 'dictatorship' he meant an autocratic government with centralized power.

freakachu Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 why on earth would I want to play a game that is basically real life, but worse? Quote
MrFly Posted September 26, 2012 Author Posted September 26, 2012 why on earth would I want to play a game that is basically real life, but worse? Because it is fun. Think about it! Quote
FFGF Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 I'll still be without a wife in-game (see what I did there , Without A Life); corporations may have bought out that server's government as well. Quote
Adlersch Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 why on earth would I want to play a game that is basically real life, but worse? Seconded, I play video games for escapism - too much complexity or realism and it actually takes me out of it. Life sucks - a job, school, and soon a child to raise? Why would I want more of that in my entertainment? Like jakj once said, "The more complex the mind, the simpler the play needs to be." Quote
Markarthian Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 It would be pretty cool the first few days/week, and then you realise this setup is too close to reality with all the nasty (and good) bits.... Quote
poryy Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 ...lol. Americanism much? Btw, if I'm the dictator, I want my people to call me the "Tsar". I always thought that sounded better than just king. Czar is what they are now called. Quote
Xylord Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Czar is what they are now called. Not really, since they don't, well, exist anymore. And I'm pretty sure tzar, tsar and czar are all accepted forms, even if auto-correct doesn't agree. Quote
The_DarthMoogle Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Czar is what they are now called. I think you'll find it's Csar. Quote

And I'm pretty sure tzar, tsar and czar are all accepted forms, even if auto-correct doesn't agree. They were all called that throughout Russian aristocracy, but the latest one before the stalinist revolution was czar. Quote
Jorcer Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 They were all called that throughout Russian aristocracy, but the latest one before the stalinist revolution was czar. The spelling has been changed over the years from Tzar to Csar to Czar and back again. All three are technically correct. Quote
poryy Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 The spelling has been changed over the years from Tzar to Csar to Czar and back again. All three are technically correct. Probably cause they mean the same thing in russian. Quote
Jorcer Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 Probably cause they mean the same thing in russian. That is what I was getting at. Quote
poryy Posted November 4, 2012 Posted November 4, 2012 That is what I was getting at. I wonder what they mean... EDIT: leader. Quote
Xylord Posted November 4, 2012 Posted November 4, 2012 I wonder what they mean... EDIT: leader. That's the literal translation, but in this precise context, that's the title given to the "kings" of the royal monarchy of the old russia, before the USSR. Quote
poryy Posted November 4, 2012 Posted November 4, 2012 That's the literal translation, but in this precise context, that's the title given to the "kings" of the royal monarchy of the old russia, before the USSR. So they actually were wiped out, even if one survived the stalinist revolution, as the title is no longer used Quote
