I understand what you mean, but every user has a voice of input. If the users don't like a change implemented, yes, Mahz could keep it, but that isn't the point of this community. They're not looking to replace the notepad with just text, but the previous logo; if someone's opinion is that it looks better, who are we to disparage that?


What previous logo? There hasn't been a logo since the old guild crashed. Is there an image of it?

By that logic, nobody has any say in the changes made. Here, every user has a voice.


I didn't mean it like that, you just took my words into a whole different meaning than I had in mind.

I meant that Mazh is the owner of this site, he can make decision that others don't like or they might like it. Not you, me, or anyone else.

Plus, would you have just words or words with an image that make sense and looks good at the same time?

<Snipped quote> It looks mind-numbingly generic. It's your typical notepad-sign for me.

It doesn't associate with roleplayerguild.com.
It associates with untitled.txt.


It looks way better than just having the words 'Roleplayerguild' with no picture or nothing to go off of. You just have to deal with the new image.

What logo are yall talking about?

I've made some logos for the guild years ago when I was just a wee lad, but they're gone and lost. And quite shit, to be honest. So yall prob aren't talking about those.

Before redpanda made an image for us today, all we had was some cold grey text that said Roleplayer Guild at the top of the site. That the "logo" on yall's minds?


I think that they are talking about this (?)

I like the new one, it looks way more professional than the last one. The notepad means that this site is about writing detailed posts, which makes sense.

While people are hating on the logo, I really like it.
Alright, but what party do you think should of won the revolution?
@Dinh AaronMk, thanks for that. I will add it to the folder that I have on information about France.

Since I have taken a good look at it, I have come up with a list of things that I want to add on my history:

The French Revolution of '26 and '27

  • Civil unrest surfaces after the war over the losses of soldiers, cost of it, and the long war.
  • People are waiting in line for food, soldiers upset at the state of France.
  • Women and the elderly now have to work for poor wages, due to the amount of losses.
  • A small number of prominent poets and musicians occupied an administration building at Paris University and held a meeting.
  • The university's administration called the police, who surrounded the university, and the students left the building without any trouble.
  • After that event, conflicts between students and authorities were still going until the university was shut down.
  • This causes students at another university to meet to protest against the closure and the threatened expulsion of several students.
  • The national student union, the Union Nationale des Étudiants de France (UNEF), and the union of university teachers called a march to protest against the police invasion of the university.
  • 20,000 students, teachers and supporters marched towards the university where they met the police force. The police held off the protesters as many were either running or setting up barricades. Hundreds more students were arrested.
  • High school student unions spoke in support of the riots and joined the students, teachers and supporters who gathered at the Arc de Triomphe to demand three things.
    • All criminal charges against arrested students, teachers, and supporters be dropped.
    • The police leave the universities.
    • And the authorities reopen them.
  • False reports that the government reopened the universities surface and the students returned to their campuses only to found out that the police still occupying the schools. The students now have a near revolutionary fervor.
  • Another huge crowd congregated on the Rive Gauche. When the Compagnies Républicaines de Sécurité again blocked them from crossing the river, the crowd again threw up barricades
  • Police attacked the crowd at 2:15 in the morning after negotiations once again floundered. The confrontation, which produced hundreds of arrests and injuries, lasted until dawn of the following day.
  • The events were broadcast on radio as they occurred and the aftermath was shown on television the following day.
  • The government's heavy-handed reaction brought on a wave of sympathy for the strikers. Many of the nation's more mainstream singers and poets joined after the heavy-handed police brutality came to light. Artists all over the word also began voicing support of the strikers.
  • The major left union federations, the Confédération Générale du Travail (CGT) and the Force Ouvrière (CGT-FO), called a one-day general strike and demonstration.
  • Well over a million people marched through Paris on that day; the police stayed largely out of sight. The Prime Minister personally announced the release of the prisoners and the reopening of the university.
  • However, the surge of strikes did not recede. Instead, the protesters became even more active.
  • When the university reopened, students occupied it and declared it an autonomous "people's university". Public opinion supported the students.
  • Workers began occupying factories, starting with a sit-down strike at the Sud Aviation plant. Similar to the students.
  • Workers had occupied roughly fifty factories on the first day, and 200,000 were on strike by the next. That figure snowballed to two million workers on strike the following day and then ten million, or roughly two-thirds of the French workforce, on strike the following week.
  • The CGT tried to contain this spontaneous outbreak of militancy by channeling it into a struggle for higher wages and other economic demands. Workers put forward a broader, more political and more radical agenda, demanding the ousting of the government and the president attempting, in some cases, to run their factories.
  • The Ministry of Social Affairs provided a deal for an increase of the minimum wage by 25% and of average salaries by 10% to the workers. These offers were rejected, and the strike went on. The working class and top intellectuals were joining in solidarity for a major change in workers' rights.
  • The meeting of the UNEF, the most outstanding of the events, proceeded and gathered 30,000 to 50,000 people in the Stade Sebastien Charlety. The meeting was extremely militant with speakers demanding the government be overthrown and elections held.
  • The Federation of the Democratic and Socialist Left declared that "there is no more state" and stated that they were ready to form a new government. Other parties soon followed.
  • The president then suddenly disappears for the public and people said that he left France.
  • The national government had effectively ceased to function due to the president's disappearances. The Prime Minister was the whole government as other officials went into panic mode.
  • Prime Minister demanded to the military that the president must be found. But, he was found in Germany as he was getting ready to escape there with his family in case revolution does happen.
  • 400,000 to 500,000 protesters (many more than the 50,000 the police were expecting) led by the CGT marched through Paris, chanting that the President must leave. The head of the Paris police tried to avoid the use of force; but, he had to as the protesters were attacking the police.
  • The movement was largely centered around the Paris metropolitan area, and not elsewhere.
  • Soon, they started to occupied a key public building in the heart of Paris. The government had to use force to retake it.
  • The resulting casualties started a revolution.
  • The Socialist Party and French Communist Party gains public support quickly as the revolution starts.
  • Two months of fighting until the president and his family were capture by students, who saw them at one of the airports.
  • Soon, more government officials are captured and killed. The president is killed, while his family watches in horror his death.
  • Elections are called. The Socialist Party and their president win the election, beating the Communist Party.
  • The new president introductions reforms and programs to help out the country.
  • The revolution ends when the president gets killed.


This is what I have for now; but, I am going to add in more things. How is it so far?

I am stuck on how I should do the whole political collapse. Should there be another French Revolution or does that seem overboard?

Why do I always question what I am going to do?
