You know what, if you still need more players give me a couple hours or just run the turn and edit me in afterwards. I have a long-distance bus to catch and some rocks to transport.

No pressure. We're not hurting for players and due to the way that the game is set up later-comers have a good shot at accomplishing something. Though if you want to join, go ahead!

Oh, and after some thought I've fiddled with the rules a bit. Everybody now has the equivalent of 8 provinces for income/manpower. You'll still start out with 1 Personality, but you will have some Income and Manpower at the start of the game. The early game should go faster since you don't need as much Recognition have a good shot at a successful uprising.

Organization Name: Liga Demokratyczna Witkowii (Witkovian Democratic League)
Colour: Teal
Stance: (-1, +1)

Personality Name(s): Stefan Brzęczyszczykiewicz
Trait: Persuasive
Description: (Incoming)

Optional:
History: The initial roots of the LDW was found approximately two years after the defeat of the coalition against the republic of Avallon. Several expatriates living within the nation during the revolution, and after it. Cobbling up whatever support they could scrounge up, the founding members of the LDW started to draft up several documents chartering the organization's goals and views, a full intent on a free Witkovia with an elected government.

Political Position: The Liga Demokratyczna Witkowii is a primarily moderate organization, though more urban and liberal leanings are displayed by the organization's members. Their primary goal is the establishment of a republic not unlike Avallon's current government.

And I'd suggest we only have the income, the manpower doesn't really make sense for our organizations at the beginning

Clair Glass - Hiding in Witkovia.
Trait: Diplomat

Spoiler: New Monarchist Guard (click to show/hide)

Name: New Monarchist Guard (Blue Guards)
Colour: Dark Blue
Stance: (+2, -1)
Money: $1000
History: The New Monarchist Guard is a split-off from the now-defunct Monarchist Guard, which supported a return to the old line of Witkovian rulers. The New Guard, however, have made the decision to support rival claimants from the Atessan imperial dynasty to the throne based on ancient royal marriages. They support a strong, conservative monarchy but reject outright autocracy, envisioning a king with an advisory body of wealthy landowning men, a reformed Weic, to ensure the interests of the upper classes are heard. The Guard appeals to tradition, reaching out to both the peasants and rural population, and aristocrats.

Konstantyn Wojewodzki-Araya - Hiding in Witkovia.
Trait: Oppressive
Description: The de facto leader of the Guard is Konstantyn Wojewodzki-Araya, the son of a prestigious Witkovian noble line living in exile in Atessa. His relentless drive for power has led him this far, and there are few in the movement who would cross him. Konstantyn's ruthlessness and explosive temper have not earned him many friends, but to him it is certainly better to be feared than loved.

Spoiler: Witkovian Free People's Party (click to show/hide)

Name: Witkovian Free People's Party (FPP)
Colour: Red
Stance: (-3, 0)
Money: $1000
History: The ideas of communism are still fairly new to Witkovia, but oppression breeds reactionary responses, and interest in the party's ideology has been growing steadily over the last 10 to 20 years. Once seen as a fringe element composed of questionable individuals is more and more being taken seriously as a group who are willing to help the lower class cast off their shackles from the Rostov masters.
Political Position: Staunchly on the left side of the political spectrum, Knavikov and the FPP look to create an equal Witkovia for all the people. Popular with the lower classes for their stances on land reform and worker's rights. Many middle and upper class citizens dismiss their ideology as nothing but 'populist daydreams'. The FPP see themselves as a vanguard that will help educate and free the masses of Witkovia through a revolution.

Rurik Knavikov - Hiding in Witkovia.
Trait: Revolutionary
Description: Knavikov is an idealist and a fiery orator. Growing up to a poor-rural family, he worked diligently to afford to be schooled abroad in. Avallon. He returned home and began touring the countryside speaking on the importance of a government created collectively by the people.

If anybody has a suggestion how to make the turns look nicer, I'd like to hear it.

I'll admit that the extra Manpower doesn't make sense, but without it the start of the game would drag horribly. To get to 2000 Manpower using only Recognition would take at least 8 turns, assuming that you succeeded all of your Petition actions. This way you only have to wait a couple of turns to build up your money before you can form a large enough body of troops to fend off the Rostovians.

Oh i like those Orders..

Excellent! It'll be a while before you get to use the Orders, but hopefully you find them useful (and don't crush everybody within five turns). If you want to give some background for Pjotr that would be wonderful, but you don't have to do it if you don't want to.

The Rostovians have max Control in Bytow, so Persuade will automatically fail. Just a head's up.

Probably missed it somewhere, but how do you actually recruit revolutionaries to your cause? As the only faction with a manpower bonus I've gotta put those peasants to good use.

Do they come with guns(the troops) or when you buy them from ma power they have weapons? For simplicity they should already be armed.

Manpower is basically the maximum number of soldiers you can hire. Soldiers can be hired in any province that isn't fully controlled by somebody, but the costs depend on who owns the province. If you want to put those peasants to work ASAP you should wait a couple of turns until you have enough money to finance a large enough force to tackle the Rostovians.

Yes your troops are armed. For the amount of money you're paying I'd hope so.

[Ghazkull]

Can i use the same actions as the other players or do i have special victory conditions?

[USEC_OFFICER]

Your Personalities can't do any other action besides Command, but otherwise you should have the same actions as everyone else (which is to say moving troops around). Your victory condition is to crush the uprising by getting at least 2 Control in all provinces. You can only gain Control after the Revolution breaks out though, else the game would be over before it even started.

[Ghazkull]

heh.
