Divided US V. 3.0

This is the US, divided. Divided US, V 3.0

Divided US V.2.0 died due to inactivity, Divided US the original died because it sucked. This is Divided US V. 3.0, and there will be some changes.

Activity
You cannot make a claim and not make a single IC post. Many people in 2.0 have done that. If you are not on DUS for a week, and you did not send me a TG or made a post, I will send you a warning. If you are not on for another week than you will be out and your territories will be up for grabs.

Time:
This time, the time period will be 1940, when the game starts we will be set in September 1940.

Areas: I have Canada added to the mix this time around.

Points: The point scale is how you will pick the areas.

Realism: Realism will be something I will strive for. You will get the tech of the US, 1940, no nukes, only a highly escalated war will let the construction of nuclear weapons happen.

Topics: In the general IC thread, I will make events, certain technology or otherwise that will relate to the general RP.

Look at the points map, unless you have another account, you cannot join.

Oh, in your factbooks, include how your civil rights/desegregation is. That will be important later.

I'd like New York again. And, if you change the system, Connecticut as well. You may wish to lower the points system, as it's rare to find RPer's that have more than 6,000 posts (they usually are in general).

Out, the fact that these types of RP will die eventually (never seen one that last more than 5 months) makes me doubtful that this would even be sucessful.

Is there a history behind the split? What is the point of deviation from RL? Do we write our own histories?

I'd like Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. Also, I can edit the map for you.

OK, yes you may, no backstory, it is set in the 1940's though.

OOC- Then I shall claim Vermont with this post

Supreme General Orot stood at the capital. There was a white flag there as he ran up his own. His plan had succeeded and Vermont was his. It had started a long time ago.

At first he was just a revouloutionary. One of those diehard socialists who would rather go down fighting than surrender. All he had done was preach for a while. Then of course someone handed him a rifle. He remembered the intial weight of it heavy to his hands. He remembered the gruff voice saying "You aren't going to do anything or convince anyone to do anyone unless they stare into the barrel of this." He was shocked but he knew what need be done.

So he recruited. Men flocked to the cause. This was Vermont and there were as many socialists as there were Libertarians. So over secret meeting Orot's stash of weapons grew. Swiftly were they dispensed to his hidden soldiers too. They made good use of them. Raids were staged and the state of Vermont was seriously crippled for a long time.

Then he grew serious. He moved up on the list of contacts too. Soon he was ordering machine guns and mortars. Vermont turned the national guard on him for it. But they failed as his guerrillas' disappeared into the villages sheltered by the people. Of course sometimes they screwed up. But for the most part they were successful.

One day he grew tired. That day was a year ago. That was the day he led the assault. He gathered up all his forces. And then he took the Northern half of Vermont and declared it a separate state the state of The Grand Socialist State of the North. Sure it was wordy but it worked.

Vermont was slowly encircled as the surrounding state/countries laughed. Finally he had finished. Here he had taken the capital. It was all over. Vermont was his.

Finally Orot could rest.

OOC- Good enough to claim Vermont?
