[OOC] The Iron Curtain: A Cold War NRP

[Ozymandias]

Posted. Just a small one. Starting off with Finland is surprisingly hard.

""As you may have noticed Soviet officers and NKVD are being removed from their posts along with any other noteworthy USSR presence. This does not need to be permanent but for now need to be done. We are not braking from the USSR's sphere but cannot survive in the way we are now. Increased autonomy is the term of this day."

You've unleashed the Red Death, Polsha. Pray to a diety of your choice.

Alright, Poland planned to stay a Soviet ally but I am sure the US will take us just as well.

[Pepschep]

Oh look, immediate WW3.

I welcome it.

I could still use a ruling on the status of jewry in the USSR. If they are allowed to depart from the USSR, that's a change from the Stalin policy. If you want, I can link you to the pertinent research on the policy and reasons for it. I'm not precisely expecting you to change the "Keep the jews here!" policy.

The policy stands.

"jewry"?

[Pepschep]

Jewry's a word for "The Jewish people and co.". Not used frequently, but hey.

The word is Judaism but hey, whatever floats your boat.

I would have preferred that there be more political buildup before WWIII and that Poland be on the USSR side but okay.

Jewry was being used properly in context there.

It's a word? Sorry man, I didn't know that.

Alright, Poland and USSR players: Poland player, you play your government, but realistically the USSR player may be giving you plenty of orders. However, because this is alternate history I will allow for plenty of leeway. Maybe some more independent guy could even take power later on.

[Omega]

My guy's goal is a Soviet aligned but independant Poland so I await the official USSR response. Also I would appreciate it if you could either rule in the Marshal of Poland again or reiterate your ruling as Dutch and I appeqr to disagree as to who should RP him.

[Jannah]

If the guy is Polish then the Polish player controls him. It's not a difficult concept, lol.

[Pepschep]

The man is Marshal of the Soviet Union, been in the Russian/Red/Soviet army for 36 years at this point and a war hero decorated with the Order of Victory. He was appointed by Stalin to make the Polish state and army loyal and did so. He's nominally Polish, but he takes his orders from Moscow.

[Omega]

Historically he did not make Poland loyal almost at all. Poland's loyalty was always questionable hence all the revolts, Cursed Soldiers, and USSR tendency to smash down on Poland.

My first post was the NKVD and USSR officers being kicked out because it was around this time things started to get really bad for Poland. If the NKVD and Soviet officers were not to get removed then thousands more Poles would die in the next 2 years causing more revolts in 2-6 years with thousands more dead. Reconciliation and free Poland is my guy's goal since that will save Poland he believes.

[Pepschep]

My IC says it all.

[Omega]

The Marshal, the NKVD, and the Soviet officers were escorted out of Poland at gunpoint...

Dutchbag, you and I literally posted around the same time so I may need to edit my post slightly. Haha.
