TURN 3​

Blood runs in the streets of the city after Isabel Junge and the Bund's violent push to maintain power. Refusing to acknowledge her own removal from position of chief of police or the actions of the Guildhall Convention, Junge's forces marched on the university last night and enforced a violent string of arrests on purported tax evaders, arresting Joseph Richman, Mogh Martok, Erik von Schmetterschnitzel, Margaret Carnegie, and Oscar Lockwood before engaging in a fight with the People's Aegis that left dozens - including Aegis leader Rick - dead in the once-revered halls. Several members of the de facto opposition government, including Regina Flowers, John Roosevelt, and James Wycliffe, managed to flee the scene, and their whereabouts are now unknown. In a subsequent raid upon the insect farm, Comhgall O'Barrfhion was found to have similarly fled, though not before releasing several swarms of insects across the downtown, many of which officials fear could be harboring deadly diseases.

Elsewhere in the city, things have seemed quieter. Christopher Knight and the Baker Company have made no comments on the Bund's actions so far, and the raids of the past fall did not reoccur over the winter, though the food shortages of the preceding year led to the deaths of many citizens over the past few months. Asarte's trial proceeded uneventfully, with Knight serving as judge; her sentence was announced to be a one-year prison sentence and a 5% interest rate on her taxes until they are paid in full, though with her funds having been seized during her arrest, it is unclear how she will pay. Thomas Arrow has been seen with new ships in his yard, reportedly as a result of negotiations with the raiders - who sent funds to the Guildhall government as a token of goodwill - and has recently begun salvaging those that were sunk in the attacks last year, and the distant farming communities that surround the city have continued to grow.

Funds are up to date, buildings should be fixed later tonight.



Expect PMs shortly.

Not all players received personalized PMs, but those that were supposed to have gotten them by now.

Brothers and sisters, it is time! The fascists have attacked, and half the city lays in chains for the simple crime of supporting the legitimate government in the Guildhall! The monsters in our former government have finally revealed themselves, stepping out of the shadows, and lashing out to destroy the good thing we had going here. Innocent men were killed, and one of the last few brave men of our generation, Rick, was murdered in cold blood.

Why, the people of the Metro ask? Because he chose to stand, rather than kneel. He choose liberty over servitude; a man chooses, a slave obeys! The people of the metro are not slaves! All men who value their livelihoods, who value their families, who value their liberties and justice and truth... stand up with me, and fight these criminals. Avenge Rick, avenge the father of our Aegis, bring the fascists to their knees...

I will not fail you, my people, nor will I fail Rick's memory.






Name: Jan Staal
Age: 31
Organization/Position: One of Rick's trusted lieutenants in the People's Aegis
Backstory: Staal and his family emigrated away from the Netherlands when Staal was just a boy, coming to the promised land of America, where his father ecked out a humble living for himself and the Staal family. The Staals often wanted for much, and went hungry on occassion, with Jan himself joining the workforce at the tender age of eleven. After Jan came to the Metro, after the apocalypse, he naturally fell in with Rick and his Aegis, with his grandeur ideas of a future where liberty and justice freed the people from the shackles of hunger and want. Jan, having narrowly escaped the roundups by the Junge's officers, has now declared himself the successor to Rick and his ideals, and promises to deliver the people from their new fascist overlords.

This is an outrage! I am an honest tax paying citizen, release me at once or you will be sorry!

Continued harassment of players in chats will result in gameplay repercussions. This applies to all parties; more than one or two are currently guilty of this.

Why Megs? Why?

This is why we can't have nice things!

As of now I am dropping. I'm tired of the harassment and negative feelings being slung around and I don't want to deal with it anymore.

I'll decide who gets Baker Company later.

GG megs you win the game
hope it was worth it

Several players have just received PMs regarding their recent behavior. I advise you keep them in mind.

Ignoring Megs and continuing because there's this thing called fun and I was having it.

So, is there anything else that needs discussion before we finalize the Guildhall shenanigans?

I love how everyone ignores the fact that I have a combat ready force ready to take the city back for the Guildhall. If people stop dropping, maybe we can salvage the situation and rebuild?

Comhghall O'Barrfhionn is going to fight on, and would like Ms. Junge to reflect on all the suffering her actions caused.

What situation? There's literally nothing wrong right now because an entire police force comprised of green civilians wouldn't follow orders without question like they're Sturmtruppen, similar to the absolutely false reports of what is going on right now.

I quit. I have no desire to be part of a game that has created massive, completely unjustifed abuse that crosses well past what is acceptable even IC and makes multiple people physically uncomfortable.

For the record, I entirely blame Sone for this, not Megs.
