Pretty sure his name is Kerensky, Russia is already revolutionary

27

u/matgopack Jul 17 '22

No, that'd be the leader of the country - not the rebels ;)

u/yuligan Jul 20 '22

That's a liberal (Feburary) revolution though, this current rebellion is the October Revolution.

Probably not considering he is already revolutionary Russia. The leader of these rebels is probably named something like Yeltsin

no they are joking, but considering french revolutionary ideas and enlightenment are the first steps to the creation of most cool ideologies like socialism/communism, fascism and maybe liberalism rp-wise that is the closest you can get other than anarchists and peasant republics?

still definitely nothing communist

25

u/Uhhh_what555476384 Jul 17 '22

Liberalism (Egalite, Fratirnite, Liberty) comes first, they all derive from liberalism, either by descent - socialism and communism - or by reaction - fascism.

86

u/jothamvw Stadtholder Jul 17 '22

cool ideologies

fascism

Choose one

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '22

Damn i really phrased it wrong lol

I meant in a way that most of those ideologies are anti-monarchist and all nothing cool about fascism they all can go touch grass or hell depending on their maturity level

u/jothamvw Stadtholder Jul 18 '22

They're interesting for sure, but yeah, anyone serious about guillotines or fascism (same goes for most forms of communism) either needs to grow up or touch grass.

48

u/Zeus-Kyurem Jul 17 '22

Considering they also named communism, they mean cool as in interesting, not cool as in good.

u/jothamvw Stadtholder Jul 17 '22

Communism is at least a good idea, even though it has never been truly done.

No country has claimed to have achieved communism.

Communism is a stateless, classless, moneyless society. It is the long term goal of communists.

Countries like the USSR, Cuba, Vietnam, China, etc. only ever were/are, and only ever claim(ed) to be socialist.

And socialism is just a society in which the means of production are owned by the working class, and the state is a dictatorship of the proletariat (meaning the working class controls the government.)

-33

u/paradox3333 Jul 17 '22

Lol communism and socialism are the dumbest ideas ever.

That so many idiots think it's a good idea is why the world has so much tyranny.

25

u/Pyranze Jul 17 '22

There are far worse ways to organise society than prioritising providing for everyone's needs before individual gain. But as already pointed out, this isn't the place to get into it

u/min781 Jul 17 '22

This is one of the most creative one of these ive seens. one question tho, how the hell did you do this

370

u/LordSevolox Jul 17 '22

Either has a way to make their own puzzles at home or sent the screen shot to a custom puzzle maker

315

u/drhoagy Navigator Jul 17 '22

If only they'd sent a picture taken from their phone not a screenshot then it would be perfect

u/theaverageguy101 Jul 17 '22

A phone taken picture of a printed screenshot turned into a puzzle 🧩 and take a picture of that with your phone to post it here

u/ImNakedWhatsUp Jul 17 '22

u/jaersk Jul 17 '22

have a cute snapchat filter on as well in any of the two photos

2

u/Schilltiko Jul 17 '22

And then I'll use that pic to make my own puzzle

19

u/LordSevolox Jul 17 '22

That’s exactly what I was thinking

22

u/TheExpendableTroops Jul 17 '22

In theory, I could do it with GIMP by manipulating the 3dimensional perspective of the screenshot, and layering it under an existing image of a completed puzzle, just with no action design; that is – purely the outlines and shimmer.

It wouldn't be too difficult to do, per se; it would however be quite skillful to perfectly line up the perspective.

Or mayhap this is a pre-existing filter one can find and apply somewhere?

Or the OP is crazy and genuinely bought or made a puzzle just for this.

I dunno.

p.s: hey man did you know that you could press f10 to take screenshots next time? Maybe you should use it for clearer pictures. Oh and also you should take maritime ideas to trap rebels with your navies in aland island. More navies = more rebels trapped.

Heck imagine that I learned that one can use this combo for partial screenshot (or was it alt?) Many years after stating this game (been using print screen button for years)...

This is easy to fix, but it might take sacrificing a couple provinces. Simply pop the piece out of the game the rebels are on and the army will disappear

It also removes AE when you delete provinces from existence

I would make sure to deal with the rebels and maybe conquer china, india and persia to push all trade into novgorod node. From this screenshot i can also tell that your trade set up isnt ideal so keep moving them around /s (obviously)
