The USSR general discussion thread!

[Byroe]

Did anyone new ever get admitted under those tests?

everyone who joined while we had them did.

[Lord_Mountbatten]

That's very vague and doesn't answer the implied question of "how many".

I would say about 4-5 did. We had a strange influx of new people wanting to join as soon as we made the test idea.

@Vol, Dont worry, that post is meant to be serious, not angry or forceful, just serious and concerning. The only serious thing that should be serious within the non-serious USSR is the actual well-being of our members.

Now that most of you have responded i am going to assume that no one any longer has issues concerning themselves or the USSR. Can i nominate myself as head of welfare?

Well now that everyone seems to have chilled their <young people censored>, we should get our butt into gear and knock of out to-do list. Before we start the luxorz can we work on Saphiri restoration first? We should try to all get on at the same time and somewhat evaluate the current state of the town.

Can i suggest we knock down the bloody inner cobble walls? or at least make them look better. (add wooden frams or replace with stone bricks or something, not just ugly cobble) Also our port and northern Saphiri needs tidying up. We need to fix that awkward section of land that is situated next to the mines and is just under/next to upper northern Saphiri. We should upgrade our spleef arena aswell. My last suggestion to the restoration is to LEAVE all the classic abandoned houses but put up demolish notices on the ugly cobble houses in western saphiri.

Also if anyone is interested on working on the TTT with me, please feel free to ask! Caution though, mind f*ckery may be a possible side effect.

Are we ever going to elect a treasurer?

[random980]

Are we ever going to elect a treasurer?

When we build an HQ and an actual vault/donation room, yes.
and knowing how fast we at the USSR knock off things on our to-do list the election will be held soon... (soon as in about a month :3)

[Volstag9]

well we got three votes to end the test requirement. I'll delete it from the OP.

@Random - lets do one thing at a time and focus on finishing the towers for now. Since we have extremely different timezones and i'm fairly busy this weekend and next i doubt we'll see much of each other. So, what needs to be done with the towers? Something that doesn't necessarily require you being around. The only thing i can think of is making a direct rail to the towers and Los Doshgas but i need to know where to make the rail.

[mccormackal]

i was wondering if we make a ussr emblem i can make it to be on peoples skins

[ziggylord]

mccor the USSR emblem already exists hurr derrrr i won the competition for it .
also im building the HQ as nobody has answered me so far and i already cleared the land for it
and i have a REALLY good idea (i will try and find a reference pic) also jonny there is no chance your claiming the waterfall. i saw your sign...that whole area is gong to be the courtyard of the HQ (if i EVER get approved to build it )

Ok, i guess we are going to start construction on the hq, i will set up the spot for it.
i will draw up the design that was agreed upon during the meeting.
*edit*
here is a very very very rough design, the inside parts are yet to be agreed upon, but this is my idea of it.

Untitled.jpg

Notice that the building will be shaped like a Triforce, and each triangle will house a section of the USSR, In the Economics and Resources section, we will keep the treasury, the treasurer's office, and building materials. In the Military and pvp section, we will have Armour and weapon dispensers, along with current treaties and a wall that says "do not attack these people" followed by a list of names. the relations section will contain alliances, signatures and act as the (central hub?). in the middle triangle, it will be empty without a roof, it will have paths leading to each different triangle as well as a (park?) in the middle, along with a large lift that holds liberty prime.
On the insides corners of the triangles, i think their should be hallways for quick access to each triangle without having to go outside into the center triangle. so, what do you guys think?

[Byroe]

ANNOUNCEMENT, Any town/village/city in fyra that would like to be connected with (lucky38town) via above ground railway, please post here with town name and cords.

and in unrelated news, we are going to build Hoover dam in a canyon next to the HQ plot

[ziggylord]

i r haz making town... it isnt going to be open untill early next year when it is at full sexy beastatude but still... *USSR has earned plus one alliance! with "crater town"*
also byroe i will start work on the HQ i have a few minor changes in mind but it will still be the triforce thingo.

[random980]

@ Byroe I know for a fact Port Royal wanted to connect there rail line to the TTT, which in turn will connect to Las Doshgas.

@Volstag, well i need to get round to adding the extra hight the towers, but right now i am a bit distracted with trying to get my Big Build thingy moved to creative and with Fallout New Vegas (got back into after 'getting' DLC's)
Whenever we are both on steam we can quickly go to the TTT and mark out a spot for a train station which can be built later. A design of the insides of the towers and a bridge between the 2 towers would be very helpful! Oh and walk around the TTT Land Claim and make sure no one has breached it. (there is another land claim that shares a border with ours just so you know). Also while at the TTT go visit Port Royal!

[Byroe]

I have an idea, i think we should divide (lucky38town) into sectors designed and built by different people. people could have their own part of town and design it however they want it. there is a lot of claimed land and only 25% of it is being used at the moment.

So like Corinth?

And i'm fine with the HQ design but we should get the Towers done first, so we can at least finish something.

@Random - I visited Port Royal, very pirate-y so thats good. I'll also dbl check the grounds around the claim. If i see you on (i doubt i will) we can work on the station. In the meantime, i'll start making out a path for the rail to the TTT from Sax's station.

@Byroe again - Now byroe, is the plan to keep it elevated over the city then drop to ground, keep it at ground level or some mix of the two?

@Everyone - Rbk messaged me, he's going to be taking down the shop, so thats just to let you know.

[random980]

Btw, what should i put in the towers anyway? (or under)

[Volstag9]

The original idea was a fort so... yeah i think its gotten a bit beyond that now.

So here are a few ideas off the top of my head. Lighthouse, Port, tourist attraction...

[ziggylord]

may mr ziggy make a waterfront district? after i finish the HQ. (not that i have started, i was at my girlfriends house all weekend)

[Byroe]

Im glad you asked, we have not one but TWO! perfect places for that!

[ziggylord]

heh... i haz beach claim right near our claim

[random980]

Instead of a waterfront district, how about a district ON the water. Now we will have 2 floating towns. One in the air and another on the water! (think of it like a giant dock that doesn't connect to the main land)

[ziggylord]

random that was the plan. half-n-half with plots on the beach and plots above the water on the docks.
(also USSR member only boat plots ranging from 10x8 all the way to 80x20)
boat plots meaning you canz build a boat!

oooh boat plots. fancy!
I like dat idea

[jonnybo72]

...i asked for that plan tons of times and was rejected TONS OF TIMES

[Byroe]

Also, the Normandy needs to be finished.

[ziggylord]

ok so ive decided i want a BIG boat that all USSR may add to with permision from me or a leader. and smaller boat things for people to make there own boats... (also i reserve the right for the normal eviction notices on any boats i dont like the look of)
now the decision on what the main USSR boat will be... wood or airship carrier?

[SMWasder]

I'm gonna suggest wood. I'm guessing when you say airship carrier you mean you'll make it out of iron? From experience making my skyship in creative, it'll take way more iron than it's worth.
