OOC: This is basically a sign-up to an RP that will probably result in riots in your country etc... Its a good way of getting into an RP and forming a history of some sorts for your nation.

The punk rock group, Sabotage, are planning a world tour. This tour will be their first and they have already been booked into one venue. It will take place over two months depending on how many venues they get booked into.

Sabotage are asking venue owners if they wish for the band to play at their venue. They need to know maximum capacities and ticket prices, as well as venue names. 50% of all earnings will be taken by the band unless stated otherwise.


Planned Venues

Quayside Stadium, Muesilania. (Capacity: 150,000. Tickets: £20) Notes: Sold Out.


Takings

Overall: £3,000,000
Band: £1,500,000
Venues Takings: Quayside Stadium, Muesilania. £1,500,000

ooc: Questions
How would it result in riots?
sooc: Military backed/funded?

OOC: The idea was that this band would incite people to rise up against the government. They would, through music, make people believe in the punk ideology and see that the world is corrupt and attempt to put it right.

Make sense?

ooc: How would they deal/try to deal with peoples that are generally politically apathetic, and very much not prone to fanaticism?

OOC: An uprising doesn't have to be supported by a whole nation to have an effect. However, I see what you mean. Have you ever listened to punk? (Honest question, not attacking you). It is very politically minded (if you know what I mean) and would certainly put ideas into peoples heads. I accept the point it wouldn't do anything to a person who is politically apathetic, but it may awaken their mind to politics.This opens up anotehr posibility, that a country may be forced into a democratic style government (although this, I know, is still not the idea of punk). If you have any more questions, just ask.

ooc: Not sure what qualifies as Punk, but may have heard some.
Also Theao is already Democratic so not sure how that would work.

OOC: Punk (pull a definition out of my head here) is a style of music with lyrics basically stating the punk ideology. Try a Wikipedia search or something for more detail, I believe they have a whole punk ideology page if you search "punk". As I said before democracy is not what punk stands for. Democracy is bad, Anarchy is good. Anarchy is actually the perfect society (in general, punks aspire to anarchism). Looking at this, it could work.

ooc: Ah, checked it out and don't think it would work out(get intended results) for the way my nation is structured/organised/ect.

OOC: I myself, ooc'ly, could be described an a skater/punk. That is probably the main reason for starting this RP. I like the music and the messages it sends out and agree with the principles. I am also trying to make my country an anarchy.

If you are interested, I would be interested in another way of getting you into the RP/if you wish yourself to have them play in your country, to do so. It obvisouly wouldn't have the effect intended, perhaps you could be one to make this RP interesting. ;)

(OOC: what? I know what those words mean but they make no sense, if i'm interested then you'd want me to get in via another way by hosting as a venue which wouldn't have the intended effect but i might make this RP interesting, are you on drugs?)

OOC: It has been said on multiple occasions yes... but no, I am not on drugs. :p I swear!

I know they made no sense. You got the idea though. If you have any ideas feel free to include them (TG me maybe, or just host a gig, whatever you feel like). An RP is made great by 1) the ideas, 2) the RPers skill and 3) one or two people who add that special thing to the RP. Make sense?
