I just had an issue where I chose to draft all gamers to the military. I think this is reasonable: Modern wars are fought with the click of a button, which is what gamers excel at.
(Disclaimer: IRL I am very much aware that all military conflict since the end of the Cold War was/is ultimately decided by "boots on the ground" and the willingness of the combatants to commit the troops necessary for that. While many modern weapon systems are indeed remote controlled by operators behind a PC, somewhere halfway around the globe from the target, it seems that even after millenia of warfare, infantry is still the decisive decider of wars. The War in Afghanistan is a case in point where our western forces, despite enormous technological advantage, failed to decisively oust the Taliban, who are now occupying half of the country again)

OOC: Following above RP post,
Johann Schmeid and Ludwig Meyer were added to the Dramatis personae of Leonism.
The B18 "Hammer" was added to
Read factbookThe following is a list of airplanes in use by the Leonistisches Imperium and will be expanded as new planes appear and more details become known.B7 "Viper" (originally: Viper B.7)Twin-engined, two-seat modern tactical bomber designed by the Thunderchild Aircraft Corporation in Loftegen 2 and used as Viper B.7 in the Republican Federation Airforce. After getting first-hand experience with these airplanes during the joint exercise Schedule 2019 in Loftegen, the Luftwaffe decided to buy a batch of 100 aircraft from Loftegen and produce a further 200 aircraft locally under license. This was the first time the Luftwaffe used a foreign-designed aircraft in decades.
The B7 will replace the aging B18 as a stopgap measure, until an advanced fusion-powered craft in the manner of the R44 can fill this role.A trainer variant, the B7Tr (originally: Viper BT.3) also exists, with an enlarged cockpit featuring two rows of two seats each, which are freely configurable to seat the pilot, Weapon Systems Officer and instructors anywhere as desired.
Type: Supersonic bomber
Role: Multirole tactical bomber, light strategic bomber
Length: 24m
Wingspan: 10 m
Crew: 2
Engines: 2x Engine Alliance Mk14 turbofan with afterburners (original variant) OR 2x ImpTec ÜS170B turbofan with afterburners (locally built variant)
Cruise speed: Mach 1.8
Range: 5500 km
Armament:2x LLR19 air-to-air missiles
4x LBR55 air-to-surface missiles
up to 12 tons of bombs (UGB250 unguided 250kg bombs, UGB500 unguided 500 kg bombs, LLB425 laser guided 425kg bombs)
the aircraft are still capable to carry and deploy several types of Loftegen-made nuclear weapons. Leonism does no longer field WMDs, officially.
B18 "Hammer"A 40 year old medium bomber with variable sweep wings. The ageing design was due to be replaced ten years ago, but the design studies underway were scrapped with the imminent arrival of workable aviation fusion-reactors, which made the entire design process obsolete. The creation of the R44 "Würger" consumed all resources necessary for the creation of a new fusion-powered aircraft, further delaying the production of any replacement for the venerable B18. The B7 (see above) is now being delivered as a stopgap replacement.
The design of the B18 itself was top of the line when it first flew, a sturdy and heavily armed and armoured aircraft.Type: Supersonic bomber
Role: Medium bomber, High altitude bomber
Length: 24 m
Wingspan: 19 m (fully extended)
Crew: 2 pilots
Engines: 2x IFW T500 turbofan engines with afterburners

up to 15 tons of bombs (UGB250 unguided 250kg bombs, UGB500 unguided 500 kg bombs, LLB425 laser guided 425kg bombs)
provisions for the carrying of the 12 ton FB25 nuclear fusion bombs with 25 Megatons yield do exist. Leonism does officially no longer have WMDs.
F148 "Kranich"An older design, this is one of the most elegant looking aircraft in Lazarus. Most notable for its variable sweep wings which allow for a more "delta"-like shape in supersonic cruise, while the aircraft looks less unusual on approach and landing with the wings fully extended.
Type: Supersonic airliner
Role: VIP transport, luxury airliner

General Communique to All Commands as part of Exercise Schedule
The political situation in Orange has changed. General Secretary Robert Trebor has "come down with pneumonia", according to the State News Agency. While this is certainly possible, given Trebor's age, the phrase has frequently been used in the past to mean "under arrest" or "dead". Tensions between factions of the ruling party have been increasing as Trebor has worked to improve relations with us. More information will be provided as it becomes available.

Obviously some stats are connected, but the backend of the game. Besides, from experimenting with puppets I have found that the working of some stats seems to work differently (in responding by issues) depending of others and the level. For example, I have a high level integrity score, and I can make choices that don't lower my honesty, but in a puppet with high level of corruption it does.
I have the same question here, nearly every time that I don't clamp in behavior to avoid being authoritarian it raises my rudeness. I am at loss how to clamp them down without infringing liberties.
Probably I have the same thing about sex and similar because for a twist. I also have just behind rudeness a top 13 % (of the world, in Lazarus only 16 %) in ... nudity.
The summary of all the stats to show the average Aiganian would be ... interesting.
I didn't knew of that take about German attitudes. Frankly I have the opposite idea from my German classes. One of the most baffling things was the adding of bitte (please) to nearly all the phrases. By the way we Spanish have a reputation of being bad mouthed (at least by people coming from America Spanish-speaking countries). The reason seems to be that after the dictatorship and the rigid mores enforced by the national-catholicism among other things, as a form of reaction the swearing (strong) become commonplace as to be invisible ... and some time comedic.
For example there is nearly a way of expressing any mood in Spanish (Castillian) by referencing the human male producing reproductive cells organs.
Rudeness, indeed. ^_^U
Don't all moose have luxurious fur coats?
What is the best hair style?
I personally think mohawks are totally epic, although I can't really imagine myself ever getting one... x)

Surely having no hair at all keeps one cool the best

Altenburg International Airport
Green Concourse, Gate 27
The first people off the newly arrived airliner were civilians, of course, though technically, being from Leonism, they were all in the military. Soon enough, men and women in a variety of Imperial uniforms began to emerge from the jetway.
One of them was Zenturio Marcus Höfner of the 1269. Sonderstaffel (Jägertruppe), back in Loftegen 2 to participate in Exercise Schedule. His people were following behind him, and he was looking for the liason officer that would take them to wherever it was they were going to be billeted.
There was a sign posted on one end of the gate area that read '1269. Sonderstaffel (Jägertruppe) hier versammeln'. That was clear enough, and he directed everyone to the indicated spot. A female officer in what he knew was Army Class A uniform was waiting for them. She was wearing a skirt, and a beret, and was tall and familiar, but he couldn't place her...
"You don't recognize me, do you?" she said with a grin, and it clicked.
"Beka!" Marcus exclaimed. "What is this?" he joked, gesturing at her clothes. "You're supposed to be in full field kit and covered in dust and blood!"
"Captain Martinez told me I had to wear this," she answered. "Something about making a good impression."
"Well I'm glad to see you again," Marcus said.
"Likewise," Beka replied. "Now let's get your people's luggage and get you to the hotel."
"Hotel?" Marcus repeated, a bit puzzled. He thought they be put up at an army base.
"You'll see," Beka promised.
A lot less roleplay here than the last part of the world I was in. Ya done good, Lazarus.
Lady Zaharra will teach him the value of role play, or else relieve him of his skeleton. Either one works for her.
Treadwellia and Loftegen 2
Sup y'all, haven't been active for a few years my bad. Had to go get some smokes.
Treadwellia, Americastrailia, and Loftegen 2
Glad to have you back!
Treadwellia and Loftegen 2
I believe we have a very healthy mix of roleplay posts and friendly OOC chatter here on the Lazarus RMB. There are a lot of active role players on here, but there's no pressure to participate for those who are not into RP.
Treadwellia, Your imaginary friend, and Loftegen 2
e___e just make sure they are wearing their fur coats ok.
We're going to be setting up bible shows from now on as well. This is a cristian family frienly moose farm.
Treadwellia, Kappan, and Loftegen 2
Look here mr Loftegen I donno how they do things in Englund but over here in moose country we abide by the book and the lord almighty. The moose need to be dressed appropriately.
I do not want to have to have this conversation again e____e
Treadwellia, Your imaginary friend, Kappan, and Loftegen 2
Probably not. He just the local moose farmer.
Treadwellia, Your imaginary friend, Loftegen 2, and Adelsin
While preaching the good word of the Lord is typically commendable, teaching it to animals is an indication of insanity questionable.
It sounds perfect, where do I sign up?
