[OOC] Civilisation VI - The Post-Apocalyptic Version

[rezay]

@Dark CloudSo what's the structure of the Ogres' government? :D

[Dark Cloud]

@rezay Autocratic Patriarchy, a government run by one male figure who is the father of the tribe and is bestowed the honorific of "Papa".

[Dark Cloud]

If your familiar with Nurgle and stuff you'll see the direction I'm going with the Ogres.

[rezay]

@Dark CloudI'm afraid I'm not, I'm not huge into Warhammer, not out of dislike of the IP

I was just wondering if they had a Commission of Agriculture :)
Farming giant radiation-mutated radishes in the bombed out remains of a megacity must be a logistical nightmare

[rezay]

@Dark Cloud But who needs bureaucracy when you have Papa'

@rezay

Well they are quite literally everyones father, and everyone is related.

I guess at a certain point it doesn't really matter that you inbreed so much because you've maxed out your inbred-edness. I imagine in real life many Ogre children would die before or during infancy due to the sheer dysgenics of it all

[rezay]

NJ doesn't have a whole lot of room to talk, almost everyone in the settlement is the third cousin of almost everyone else, at least. To be fair, that goes for all factions in this RP

*Considering it's been about 4 generations and there was a big die off, so all the people who survived were genetically similarly able to fight off the plague. In the early days, there would have been more diversity.

[rezay]

To remedy the sort of inbreeding going on everywhere you would need many different communities to form and stay separate from each other for a few generations. I don't know what the timeframe of this RP is, but if it's shorter than a few centuries then all people will probably remain semi-inbred or closely related

[rezay]

Speaking purely realistically, the rebuilding from this sort of calamity would probably take up to ten thousand years + due to the population issue all things considered. Maybe shorter

Of course, this is an RP, total realism isn't desirable.
Perhaps if there were other communities which weren't other players that could be conquered. To introduce some needed diversity. Not that the Ogres need that much, they're sorta at a point of no return aren't they

[rezay]

@AdorableSaucer That's another question I should ask, then. Will there be NPC factions/communities? Or are we all there is? I imagine building new settlements from scratch would take a very long time to form any sort of expansive/significant geopolitical entity

I suppose it is the post apocalypse, and perhaps that's not the point. More like a bunch of petty factions squabbling over what remains of the old world. Any way is fine with me

[Dark Cloud]

@rezay Are you saying I'll fail? Is that a challenge? U wot m8!? Jk lol.

SECONDED

[rezay]

Maybe the northern part of Old Jericho has a bunch of sea raiders hanging out...

"I will drink from your skull!"

"That's a nice head you have on your shoulders."

"Less talking! More raiding!"

Please tell me my references aren't in vain

@rezay

*Skyrim battle music starts playing*

"You never should have come here."

[AdorableSaucer]

@rezay Heyo! Yes, NPC factions are plentiful, and you might encounter some throughout the RP. :D They are scattered however, if you don't count small bandit bands and tribes that make their homes under rocks and stuff.

[Dark Cloud]

@AdorableSaucer Is turn one coming soon?

[AdorableSaucer]

@Dark Cloud(My) tomorrow morning. :) Expect it in, uh, about ten to twelve hours.

[Dark Cloud]

Ah so my midnight.
