Realpolitik - An interactive AAR concept

I had a lot of fun watching this unfold. The idea is solid. Though I wasn't involved, it was cool to see what the government was doing, and how the opposition handled it. I think this was a great attempt at a simulation.

Good show guys.

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. the name of Realpolitik^2 is E Pluibus Unum.

I belive that we should compare parties in this aar to the new one just so the old players know who to side with and gives it a boost.

just reminding you that the party index is yet to be updated for the merger of the ABNB and UGSA.
Thanks

Ugh it's so hard to see such a successful aar dead

True. But, really, we could not cope with the workload, especially during exam periods.

On that matter, I'ma get back to my books

Same her, I mean after exams though, do you think e plubris will take off?

LoL
Completed AAR, isn't it abandoned?

According to some players, the action of this government would have had a remarkable impact on all future governments, constraining the actions of these future governments and making future elections boring. If a non-Syndicalist government gets into power, war with the syndies will happen, and if a Syndicalist government gets into power, then there will be world peace.

No, Completed!


This was a concept AAR, and I think we can fairly say the concept was a success, it did everything we hoped it would, therefore it has succeeded in it's task, and is "Completed".


Nah, if a Syndi government came to power in Germany we would spark an opposite revolution around the world, either way the game would stay interesting.

Simply making revolutions for each new government would have gotten old and lame

Also if anyone is still checking here and wants to keep playing, EPU is indeed in its first elections.

One thing I always wondered: Near the end of this game, I pushed for a Left-Right coalition, with the Left in charge of domestic affairs (turning Germany into a syndicalist utopia) and the Right in charge of international affairs. Would you think such a Coalition would be more stable than the Imperial Centre?

The Imperial Center was quite stable. The ministers had a good understanding with eachother on most subjects.

Personally I felt most leftwing parties where too extreme. The LCP could coöperate with a social-democratic party or a moderate socialist one, not with an anarchist, bolshevist or syndicalist party. Their internal programmes where sometimes a direct opposite of ours. Unless more moderate leftwing or rightwing parties had entered, the Imperial Center would have remained quite stable.

But NKVD was going to bolt, due to you guys not listening AT ALL to their leader, and the PCP was falling apart due to decolonization and the rise of Avatar Federal. It was rather likely that, in 1938, the government would have fallen.

I don't understand why you would think Syndicalism is an radical idea. They're not commies, just pseudo-anarchists wanting to extend the democratic system to apply to economics. Their whole gimmick was merely letting workers control the economy, it isn't really that hard to just surrender at least some power to the workers. And really, the local government posts are going to be democratically elected; nothing ever prohibits rich CEOes from actually getting elected. They just have to get the support of the people. If capitalism is so awesome, then the people would vote for capitalists to run the syndicates.

What would a "moderate" left-wing party do anyway in this game? Raise the minimum wage? Allow for more powerful unions? It doesn't really seem to do anything more than be a stop-gap measure to calm the passions of the working class (who, by the way, overthrew Britain and France), and it would have likely been boring (why else did you get the Coalition of Glory?), so why not just go the whole hog? And, once the Syndicalists actually turn Germany into a Syndie utopia, we finally expose revanchist France and revanchist Soviet Union for the lies they are.

Of course, I could have likely made compromise more likely if I was appointed as some sort of ambassador to represent the Left, but meh.

My party was more moderate left before I let it get absorbed.

I admit, the chances of re-election were slim, but we were working on sealing the hole Delex made, if that would have happaned we would have been stable enough, barring future crisises.
