Ischys, October 13th, 1933

In 1929 the stock market crashed, the affects were felt around the world, here was no exception.

In 1930, exactly one year after the crash, to the day, in fact, a change was made. Retirement ages were set to 70, five years more than before, but this change was not the first step to the tensions that we have now, we had to deal with that.

But then the tax was increased, the numbers of police officers and fire fighters were cut down and their pay decreased… It didn’t end there.

April 2nd, 1931.

Now with civil servants steaming mad they decide to play with the fire some more when they realized that their plans were not working to its full extent.

Tax increased, civil servant salaries cut down and more income tax, things were not looking good by now.

The salaries for school teachers cut to an unacceptable rate. We decided to show how we felt about the new changes. We didn’t go to work for a week and protests were held near the town center.

They ignored us, and cut our pay even more. Maintenance funds for government buildings such as court houses, public schools, and post offices are decreased by 60% just to save money.

December 29th, 1932.

The popularity for Brian Deere has fallen by 57%, the only people getting any type of break are the wealthy, I have heard from some locals in our town that if things get any worse AT ALL that they might show Brain how they feel about his dictions.

March 14th, 1933.

I’m sick of it. Everyone I know is sick of it. And right now, I think everyone is tired of this abuse, and how does the government get away with this?! We have set up protests, small riots, even OTHER NATIONS are talking about it.

We are in a time of need, we can BARELY pay the bills, and now the taxes are increased by another 4.9%, and they passed a new bill about a new government run public health system, the government that can’t even match its own standards is now running the hospitals, half of the staff at one of the city’s largest hospitals are now fired, and they are being overrun with patients.

March 20th, 1933.

It’s set, we’re shoving Brian out of power, we are taking this stupid, insensitive, out of control government out, and in with the new.

We’re going to group up at Lanyard Park at 1:20 today.

Ammo Types-
Standard - Basic ammo.
Hollow-Point - Designed to shred un-armored targets. Can hardly penetrate anything thicker than an half an inch.
Armor-Piercing - Designed to punch through hard armor and thick obstacles. Somewhat in-effective against un-armored targets.
Hand-load - More powerful version of Standard, with better penetrative properties. Can only be produced by Refugee Camps.


Camp Types-
Guard-post - Basic camp.
Armory - Usually a factory re-purposed to produce ammunition and basic weaponry.
Watch-post - Usually situated on high buildings, watches for enemy movements.
Supply Depot - Government only. A special factory designed to produce rare weaponry. Churns out Government weapons. When captured by Civilians, is re-purposed into a Refugee Camp. Awards several crates of Government weaponry when taken.
Refugee Camp - Civilian only. People left homeless by the rebellion and fighting on the streets. Good source of hand-load ammunition. When captured by Government, is re-purposed into a Supply Depot. Awards several crates of hand-load ammo when taken.

-RULES-

Put detail in your character, not just a few basics. Civilians do not have uniforms but the army does, it looks similar to the British uniforms in WWI.
Do not change the story like this:”Then airplanes move in and shoot everyone up, the attack is a failure.” Leave THAT to the assorted selected people.

All major attacks will be controlled by assorted people.

You can break the law if you are in the rebellion.

9845 will make a few maps along the way to give you a nice idea of the background.

No not get one hit kills, you can say you shot your weapon at another Role-player, but if the victim keeps saying you missed (More than once.) you have the OK to shoot him, but still, no one hit kills.

If you are wondering if the countries allies will move in that remains a mystery.

Medical supplies on both sides are not good at all, for one thing it is 1933.

Civilians are basically ten years behind the military, but they have great numbers, slightly more than the army, so this is not very uneven.

If you are in the army you can only go up to warrant officer, to make things easy for the people role-playing as a civilian, I’ll make it simple: You start as a private.

The generals might end up fighting on the front line a few times from the enemy making an unexpected move and sneak up on them, but don’t get me wrong, they will be able to get out of the area quite fast, but not in two seconds.

Know your history, they didn't have mini-guns in the 1930's.

Don't expect the battle map to be there all of the time, it takes time to make them!

The army and the government have the guns you would expect, but civilians are limited to what you would find in a local weapons shop, or weapons they’ve made at home, mostly shotguns.

The nation is extremely poor and there are very few tanks in operation, they might be used for defense and not offense.

If you break the rules, then veteran teams of mercenary snipers will be sent to eliminate you when you least expect it. They cannot be defeated, and will not miss.

Admins - Assorted.

Made a small mistake in there.

There is no battle map.

I'll try to give a description of the city, but it won't be good.

Name: Robert 'Wee Bobby' Henson
Ag.e: 26
Gender: Male
Appearance: Wee Bobby was mainly named for his short stature, standing a meagre 4' 8", but with muscles like a raw steak and skin like a tanned cow, thick and sturdy despite his short height, and with beady brown eyes that look very big in his head, his black hair cut very short, and his limbs short and stumpy. Not a looker, his head rather like a potato and scars from many a Boxing Match, but he's built like an Ox and he's a better shot with a rifle than just any old blighter. He wears a thick cotton shirt, and over this an even thicker Leather Waistcoat, making him look rather like a Bull that's got fed up with wearing Leather all over. Big thick leather boots do little to enhance his height, and tucked into them are his cream slacks.
Skills: Home-Trained Rifleman, some Skill in Fisticuffs.
Items: Wee Bobby carries a few Boxing Medals from Local Matches, and a little Brass Pocketwatch in his Waistcoat.
What weapon do you use: M1892-99 Springfield
Are you in the military, or the civilians side: Civilian
Rank: N/A
Personality: Typical Brute, just raring to get into a fight, and eager to beat someone senseless. No sense of fighting fair, and speaks like a Scotsman despite his English heritage. Laughs and Drinks a lot.
Like/dislikes: Likes a Good Fight, likes to Win, likes good Drink and good Music. Doesn't like Tall People or the Government.
Bio: Wee Bobby Henson was taught by his late Daddy (rest his soul) to fire a rifle since he was Eight, his Daddy being a Soldier in the army, and thinking it good that his son should know how to fire a rifle without knocking his teeth out. Not that anyone could knock Wee Bobby's teeth out, he's built thick and sturdy and doesn't go down easy in a Fistfight. Wee Bobby doesn't have a Job, but he knows a good fight when he sees one.

Name: Stephanie 'Big Allie' Henson
Ag.e: 32
Gender: Female
Appearance: Big Allie stands 6' 8", a Slender and Pale Woman, her limbs thin and her health overall rather sickly, with well-kept black locks trailing gently to her shoulders in neat little curls, and watery brown eyes hidden behind a pair of small glasses that don't fit too well. A little makeup on the cheeks in an effort to hide the sickliness. Face like a common secretary, and not all that remarkable beyond her height. Wears a crisp white button-up cotton shirt with a red cross stitched on the shoulders, with a long white skirt and a pair of black sensible shoes. A small satchel rests on her right hip.
Skills: Medical Knowledge (all the good it does) from Training as a Nurse.
Items: A few token medical supplies in her Satchel, consisting of a Bottle of Medical Alcohol, two rolls of bandage, a pair of scissors, a spool of thread, a needle and a shot glass and bottle of an Alcoholic Beverage.
What weapon do you use: Smith & Wesson Model 10
Are you in the military, or the civilians side: Civilian
Rank: N/A
Personality: Sensible, Zealous, Overly-Cautious.
Like/dislikes: Likes Cleanliness, Good Health and Order. Dislikes Illness, Drunks, Hooligans, and generally those without manners.
Bio: Big Allie inherited all the Height and Brains in the Family, where Wee Bobby got the Strength and the Constitution. A sickly girl in her early years, and needing glasses to see beyond her nose, Big Allie trained as a Nurse. Well we say trained, more watched her Mother treating Bobby's injuries and wandering around hospitals watching Nurses and Doctors doing their thing, and much Trial and Error. Big Allie used to work at a Hospital part-time as a Nurse in Training, but now that she's been fired she's taken up her Personal Defence Revolver and she's marching out with her Brother.

Name: William Robertson, referred to as Willie or Willy.
Age: Thirty-Nine
Gender: Male
Appearance: Dark brown hair, ruffled and unkempt, but still shines dully. Thin eyebrows, thin lips, hazel eyes, stands at 5'11" and appears to have a permanently disapproving expression.
Clothes: A crumpled brown button-down shirt, black casual slacks tucked into dark tan boots, with a Layered Cotton Vest underneath the shirt. Also wears a maroon scarf and Hard-Hat.
Skills: Good cook and fine shot.
Items: Paring Knife, Iron Skillet, a dent on the bottom, light linen blanket, paper bag of rations, all in a rucksack behind him. Also carries nine extra Mondragon clips and twenty-four revolver rounds in a homemade harness, with metal flask. All ammo is hand-load.
What weapon do you use: Mondragon Rifle with Makeshift Gun Shield, Webley Mark V Revolver, and a Trench Raiding Club.
Are you in the military, or the civilians side: Civilians.
Rank: Let's say I'm something of a field officer.
Personality: Generally arrogant and stubborn, but some consider him steadfast and stoic. Quite aggressive.
Like/dislikes: Likes oranges, beef jerky, tilapia, and cats. Hates the current government, chestnuts, and eyeglasses.
Bio: A military soldier, he was put on leave, and used his money to fund the soon-to-be rebellion. He smuggled his rifle from a friend in the military, assembled his own shield, and kept his revolver. He drew up basic plans for flanking and ambushing the military during the riots. His family he ordered to leave the island to the U.S. and find a new life. His Trench Raiding Club he assembled himself from a pickaxe handle, then studded with blunt metal spikes. Keeps a cream-white cat named Butter. For the riots, he stashed his rifle and other rifles in a warehouse near the riots, where he and other rebels would arm up and move to take positions in the apartments, waiting for the Government to fire on the rioters.



Ah, here we go. Still a bit dusty.

I leaned against a tree, in the middle of the park. It only calmed me a little bit. If somebody had leaked info about us to the government, then we'd all be screwwed. "Where is everyone?" I glanced around. Nobody seemed to be nearby.

Wee Bobby grinned wickedly as he marched happily towards the park, rifle swinging from his stout little arms as his Sister trailed along behind him, her Revolver tucked away inside her satchel as to not draw as much attention to herself. Indeed, she was quite a distance behind Wee Bobby, keeping a distance of precisely 12 metres at all times, her chin up as she tried to convince herself that she was not related to the little drunk she was following.

William and a small group of freedom fighters were approaching the park. They did not betray the fact that they were rebels, as they wore everyday clothing. Inside their pockets were armbands they will wear once out of sight of the government to distinguish themselves as part of the movement. They chatted casually, pretending to be nothing more than people enjoying a walk to the park, though one person was always surveying the area around the group at any time. More groups would come, but in small numbers to avoid attracting unwanted attention.
