Name: Simon
Race: Israeli
History: Not too much is known about Simon but He's very laidback.

[christos200]

I will be unavailable from about 1400 (British Standard Time), tomorrow until Saturday 29th October on account of being in Turkey.

Why on Turkey and not Greece, you traitor?

 

[W|M]

I don't have any affiliation with Greece, and thus am not a traitor to Greece.

 

[LordNwahs6]

Man, this looks fun, I'm in!

Name: Niko
Race: Japanese
Traits: Philosophical,Financial

History: Niko was born in a small Japanese village, and left at an early age when his parents died during a food gathering session. He lived in forests for most of his childhood, and the solace that living in isolated areas provided made him a very philosophical man. A merchant of goods found across the world, Niko has seen many places, and has encountered many ideas in his journeys. He decided to settle in the Russian lands to put his ideas into action. He dreams of an economic powerhouse, a trading empire, where goods of different parts of the world flow into the Russian lands like waters in fountains and rivers. He finds religion, communism and vodkaism to be interesting, but ultimately flawed ideas.

Open a small barter market, to trade different goods between different people, and also trade some valuable items that Niko has found in his journey.

Simon sets up a small house-hospital and offers doctering services for food.

Introduction
With the sudden death of Feud III, I've decided to revive Feud! Although I have no idea if Ilduce approves with the hijacking of the Feud name, he's not here.

Not sure how he could disapprove, given that I'm the one who wrote the original ruleset.

 

[mayor]

and? do you approve

 

[Yoshiegg737]

Not sure how he could disapprove, given that I'm the one who wrote the original ruleset.

And I've always wondered who created Feud 1 since when I first joined, Ilduce began Feud 2. Since he also did Feud 3, I just assumed...

Well, at least I know who created Feud now

 

[LordNwahs6]

When is the next update coming?

 

[Yoshiegg737]

In 1 minute

...

...

Multiplied by 60

 

[LordNwahs6]

I hour isn't that bad, eh.

 

[Tycho]

Indeed. He'll probably update the second someone posts another message and bumps the thread.

OOC: I'm amazed in your confidence in me

Today's Events​

During the night, the following was found in the village hall. Late waking villagers awoke to a bustle of activity, as a crowd had already gathered among the bulletin board inside the village hall:

Spoiler :

To the people of Russia,
Several alarming things have sprung up. I send you this letter of warning and caution, so that you will not be deceived and manipulated by the forces working in Moscow today. The first I wish to address is the least subtle of the deceptions. It has come to my attention that a mortal man, by the name of Stalin, is claiming divinity, and asking people to worship him as a god. Do not be deceived, brothers! For one to claim that he is divine, he must be either a despicable liar or insane. Stalin has done nothing to show any reason to worship him, and to ask people to do so proves he is nothing more then either the leader of a cult, full of deceit and evil, or a raving lunatic. Stay away from this darkness, and trust your minds and logic. This cannot be true.
Second, we have a distinguished foreigner teaching the religion he calls ‘Islam’. I have no qualms with you believing this religion, but I urge you to exercise extreme caution. If you are interested in this religion, go forward with your mind full of doubt, and apply your logic to anything he says. If you find it to be without guile, I have no problems with this faith. Once again, however, extreme caution must be applied towards any creed.
Third is the belief of Vodkarism. I should not need to tell you, noble citizens of Russia, that this party is dangerous. Not only does it authorize use of military violence against other nations for the mere reason that they have a government we don’t like, but it encourages the drinking of alcohol. Now, before I am attacked by every vodka drinker in Russia, I will say I have no problem with drinking. I avoid it myself, but I do not believe it to be wrong. The problem comes when men avoid using common sense, and get themselves drunk. This is something that Vodkarism seems actually to encourage, though it means a rise of unemployment, and moral deterioration. Therefore, I would urge you with all vehemence to avoid this dangerous political party.
Fourth is the teaching of Communism by one Marks. Beware of totalitarianism brothers! Marks’ teachings have the seeds of truth, but if applied wrongly, the result would be tyranny. It may be I have misunderstood Marks’ teachings. If that is so, I would very much appreciate a letter from him explaining them in detail. That being said, his making all people alike I would strongly advise against, as that destroys any hope of progress that our glorious nation could hope to make. Why build a better mousetrap, if you aren’t paid any more for doing it? If there is no way to better your life, why try at all? I hope you can see the potential dangers from this teaching, and you will exercise caution.
Lastly, I wish to say some words about government. I congratulate Musa Cälil on his appointment as chief. I would, however, like to request a document form Chief Cälil explaining just where he stands on the Communist debate.
As always, I desire you to exercise extreme caution when dealing with any new political idea or creed.
Your Brother Russian,

-Daedalus Caragiv

To all:
That local village is the ruins of what once was the city of Minsk. Beware the Bearbearians! (Barbarians). Some of us are willing to acquire mementos from whoever who survives the expedition.

On the Belarussian Tradition
As retold by Terranski Kaizorvich​

Our ancient ancestors wandered the great Russian lands. Today, they are known as Belarussians, Great Russians, and Ukrainians. In those days, the lakes, the forests, and the plains of Russia where populated with wandering hunters, foragers and fishers.

The first permanent town to form was the boat-making center of Grodno, to the north of our recent city of Minsk. There, the Belarus built many ships and sold them to wandering tribes. As other towns begun to form at various lakes nearby, the inland town of Minsk, known for its nearby hills and its fertile land, gained power. The Ancient Belarussian state was thus formed near Minsk.

As our tradition was, we turned to fishing. For most lands, there were no major rivers or lakes, so we settled on small, gated canals to capture and breed them. Friendly tribes joined us with their expertise of agriculture or mining; some, like our Russian cousins, formed their own city independent of Minsk.

The first major Bearbearian attack was an attack of animal trainers, driving a pride of lions before them into the town of Gomel, a major mining center of flint. The small city of Minsk was then fighting against the growing Russian town of Moscow, and could barely raise a warband of scouts, not to say warriors. The small Belarussian state, our ancestors, were defeated.

However, we, the survivors of Minsk, are not the only survivors. I have heard tales of a great Belarussian town reachable from the harbor of Gordno who have escaped with their fleets of boats. We must work with our Russian brothers, who have accepted us, to find our lost Belarussian brothers and reunite the bloodline of the Belarus.

From this, Daedalus Caragiv and Terranski Kaizorvich have both gained 5 prestige

To The Chief:
"Agricultural-ism has been completed! We have discovered a new technique that let's us farm the interesting crops that grow north of Moscow! We've also discovered many new civilizations! And they all seem to border us quite closely! How should we treat these opposing nations? Oh, yes, we have torn apart the city of Minsk last night! The few who remained in the ruined village chose to join us. They also had given us something called "gold". They call it "currency", but I really have no idea what that term means. Anyway, they gave you 25 pieces of this "currency". Perhaps I'll just hold on to them until you figure out what to do with these pieces of...currency, Chief Cälil. Anyway, here's some pictures our scout got, as well as what is available to build in Moscow. Please treat the pictures with care!"

I lead the remaining loyal Belarussians to fight the wolves, where I get another Fever Mushroom Dream by eating a Dream Mushroom, and found Navalism, as per Belarus tradition.

18 (17): Joined by your loyal Belarussians, you bravely fight off most of the wolves in spectacular fashion! Gaining 1 strength and 10 prestige in the process. Oh, you also found Navalism.

I argue fiercely against the concept of money, which is used to scam the lower classes.

7: Your argument is disagreed upon, as most villagers are beginning the potential embrace of the concept of money

I request a mysterious book entitled The Power of Economics from Mr. Smith's store

12: Truly, what store could this be? Mr. Smith joyfully says he doesn't sell items in his shop. However, he teaches you the concept of Economics before deciding to open his shop

Mr. Smith's shop is open! Details below.
New Category (Money) Unlocked!
New Category (Jobs) Unlocked!

I attempt to calm the Anti-Communist crowd, Red Spy and his followers by teaching them the very similar idea of Vodkarism that will make everyone happy. I then share Vodka bottles with everybody.

Make people of russia to beleive that i am Allah.

19: Your Sociability skills increase by 2 as you make the citizens believe that you are Allah. You are now Allah and you gain 50 prestige in the process

Give praise to the people and credit to them to try and gain their support.

You kill off the remaining wolfs, gaining 5 prestige. You also sell the wolf skin you find on the wolves for 10 gold. However, from the sticks Emmanuele had thrown in and the failed attempt to douse the fire by Chief Cälil, you are unable to douse the fire due to it's size.

[Yoshiegg737]

I'll update the OP in a second...

Well, at least nothing bad happened to me.

I'm going to wait until the OP is updated.

Niko's Journal:

Today I encountered an interesting ideology of Economics, from a certain Mr Smith, being spread across town. This can definitely help with the trading system in this town, since it appeared that my attempt at popularising the barter system in this town has failed, as it was hard to decide on the value of items, something that this new idea can help counter. The concept of a standard currency is growing in popularity in the Rus. I also heard that Mr Smith is going to open a Job Market of sorts, I must check it out some day.

Also, WTH THE FIRE IS SPREADING. Woe is us.

Oh yes, how does the event thing work?

 

[Yoshiegg737]

Oh, I just randomly generate a number for both good and bad events
