1930's gang wars

Not to be picky but Catholicism and Christianity aren't the same thing.

Anyway got some interest brewing. If this happens expect me to make a CS to hop along for the ride.

@alexfangtalon

That's so Puritan, you deserve a token.

Have a Cotton Mather:

@Polarity born-again-christian.info/catholics.htm Catholicism disagrees with a good number of the fundamental beliefs of Christianity. Now, I won't say much about Seventh Day Adventist due to not knowing any nor knowing how their beliefs differ from others, but a few people I do know said that of a large majority of the Seventh Day Adventist they know or have heard of that they still follow the Old Testament laws that were done away with when Jesus came and began teaching the way of God.

What is the name of the city. Chicago?



Old Harbor: Long past since its age of glory as the size of ships have gotten so big that the old bridges block the way, now only small ships use the pier, the buildings slowly being reconverted as industrial storage or factories.

The Industrial Park: At first turned toward the great lake to sent out its shipments across the world, now turned inward toward the train tracks. Business is doing alright despite the unions protesting for every reason possible.

The Slum: The view greeting people at the main road entering the city is a rather grim one as these lands that have yet to see takers have been host to the destitutes of the city living in shacks while they work on bettering their lives.

Is this the kind of division you're looking for on the map? I can make a quick work if this satisfies you but I won't name all the streets as that would be far too ridiculously long.

@Wernher I believe that GM said it waas going to be a fictional city that we choose the setup of.

[Clockwork giant]

@Wernher that's just about perfect, although it would be useful if you could name at least some of the major roads and railway lines.

@alexfangtalon Aha! Interdenominational feuding, that's understandable then.

As for the Seventh-Day Adventists, my grandmother is one and I remember many stories from childhood about the Prophets of Israel (particularly the Book of Daniel), as well as practices more akin to the beliefs of early Jewish Christians (namely the Sabbath day being Saturday). I presume you're correct in suggesting that there are aspects of their denomination that are more in line with Old Testament writings.

I will crank out a CS and carve up some territory in the next few hours for review by the GM. Thinking of a Jewish outfit coincidentally.

@alexfangtalon

I hope to god you don't discover any of the non-Chalcedonian churches.

I was thinking of making an Irish mafia that has hands in the police. What do y'all think.

At this rate, half of the city'll be eating potatoes and speaking like Dublin, Christ.

To add to this: if this city of yours is as much like Chicago as is supposedly being claimed then it's proper to note that for Chicago the biggest historical demographics have been the Polish, and the Germans. The Germans too maintained a strong presence in Chicago up through the end and the after math of the First World War when claiming German heritage was unpopular; but Germans such as the Volga Germans were a powerful presence in Chicago despite. And Chicago through the beginning of the 20th century had the highest population of ethnic Poles outside of Warsaw, Poland. Other populations include the Scandinavians.

The Irish are mostly an East Coast thing, such as in New England and the Central Atlantic states. But in the mid-west the general demographic makeup has been German or Polish.

@Dinh AaronMk

Yeah, well i've got ex-New York Italian. HAHA!

[alexfangtalon]

@Dinh AaronMk And my guys are going to have been a small Irish family that was a part of one of the larger Irish mafia who disagreed with the ones in control of their group so they got away and hitailed it to this fictional city.

[Wernher]

@Clockwork giant Alright, I'll try to make something for this weekend.

HEY EVERYONE! I'd need a list of things you want me to fit into the map before it gets final. Ideas?

[alexfangtalon]

@Wernher My only thing is that my preference would be to have my group have a headquarters at least somewhat close to the police station. I I can't really think of anything I could add to the making of the locations and such.

[Wernher]

Alright, I have time to work on the map BUT! 3 days of inactivity is making me suspicious... why don't those who have expressed interest tell me each one thing they'd like to see in the city, to see if this is still alive or not?

[ArenaSnow]

Assuming there's life in this beast...

What of a player-based police faction, + the politics?

[alexfangtalon]

Because of how long it has been without word from the GM I'm dropping my interest on this.
