Hell, I might actually start my own party. My party leader hasn't posted, so I don't know what stance to take.

Sorry, stuff was happening on my end. I just posted.

Thanks.

It seems neither GWG's Gedankenjustierer nor the Alldeutsche Verband are going to enter elections...

My party is based on the scientific theories of the time, and it's hard to make a platform from those if I'm not sure what they are. Should I use modern theories, historical ones, what?

[10ebbor10]

Improvise.

Historical theories from that time, with whatever else you want to add.

edit: When the GM gives you freedom. (Ab)use it. He'll tell you when you go out of line.

Pretty much what ebbor said...but apart fromt he geo-political situation science has progressed as normal. The historical persons for that just are in other countries. Einstein for example is working for the Kaiserreich.

Note to self: Recruit that guy.

Note to self: Recruit quite a lot of people.
-Einstein
-Werner Von Braun
-All other rocket scientists
-....

((Not actually going to do that. I got no reason to. Maybe setting up a science institute, but that's it.))

[Ghazkull]

...they all are working already for germany

[10ebbor10]

On another note, it's unlikely that german rocket technology exists in this timeline. After all, the only reason Germany invested in rocket technology is that Treaty of Versailles prevented them from building artillery.

[GreatWyrmGold]

No rockets means no early space program means no space program means lots of sad stuff. Aw.

Anyways, looking up mid-1930's sociological theories and going from there...

[10ebbor10]

Well, rockets still exist, but only for short range saturation bombardement, not the giant V2's and the like.

Skimming Wikipedia, I decided to take some books published IRL at the appropriate times and go from there.

Spoiler: List Selections (click to show/hide)

Coral Gardens and Their Magic: A Study of the Methods of Tilling the Soil and of Agricultural Rites in the Trobriand Islands--By Bronisław Malinowski, about the Trobriand Islanders. Aside from a couple chapters on magic and such, not much of note.
Ideology and Utopia--Redirect to author Karl Mannheim. That should be helpful.
The Two Sources of Morality and Religion--Redirect to author Henri Bergson. That should be helpful.

There were others, but they didn't seem to be as useful or else were redlinks/links that lead to related articles rather than ones about the book.

Spoiler: Notes from the Two Sociologists (click to show/hide)

Bergson: Little which is useful.

Mannheim: Same

You know what? Screw it. I'm the only one who cares about the timeliness of the theories. I'm just going to apply what seems to be the proper theories of the time.

[Ghazkull]

very well you gonna provide an election campaign?

[GreatWyrmGold]

I did. Along with a lengthy speech and an interruption for lunch.

While i appreciate your effort you put into a german speech...don't do it...especially with Google Translate(the amount of grammatic mistakes...is...astounding)

 And well im pretty much the only one around here who can read it(maybe we have some 1 or 2 other hidden germans but yeah...stay with an English Speech. After all it's an international forum.)

I can read german. I even know enough of the language to know that I really should not attempt to speak it.
