Thank you... It will be weird playing along side with Pkers but this should be fun.--V darkstar 17:05, 29 September 2010 (BST)
I'm sure you'll find they're not such bad people once you get to know them. Well most of them anyway. --~Vsig.png 19:44, 29 September 2010 (BST)
The Maltonalé
Arise, Survivors of a cursed land
It's time to join the fight
Our outraged minds are boiling
To strike the zeds and whites
We'll cleanse Malton's foundations
With bullet, axe and shell
And when the reeves have raised us
We'll still be in this Hell!

White Army Sign-up

If you wish to join the White Army add your name and profile ID to the Red Army roster below.

The whites weren't monarchists, they were led by Kerensky and Denikin, the former of whom wanted conciliatory government without a monarch, and the latter of whom wanted a military dictatorship. I advise you to surrender now, just like Kerensky did.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 22:34, 12 September 2010 (BST)
Ah, but many of the soldiers fighting for the White Army wished to see the return of the Monarchy. Others wanted to continue the war against the Central Powers or they opposed the government's atheist views. So Osric's view of monarchy fits in nicely with the history of the war.~Vsig.png 23:46, 12 September 2010 (BST)
Indeed it does. In fact the Whites were supported by three Monarchist Nations, Britain, France and Germany. Although Germany had become Weimar by then. And being a Monarchist, i quite like the idea of a White Army in Malton. --Osric Stormwall 00:37, 14 September 2010 (BST)

New Location

Because of the current status of the suburbs chosen for the event (and because Rage in the Age did it first) we'll be moving the location of the event to the Judgewood Darvall Height area. I hope this decision does not inconvenience anyone. In the interest of keeping the event fun, it made sense to move it to a safer location.--~Vsig.png 23:46, 26 September 2010 (BST)

The twins will be most welcomed. I'd like it if the teams were mostly balanced. I know a lot of people will likely want to join the soviets. Keep in mind the Red Army was not all that popular at the time (they later gained popularity when Trotsky became General). Might help those on the fence about who to join. ~Vsig.png 17:39, 18 September 2010 (BST)
Bullshit. The Red Army had in excess of 5 million soldiers, and the whites had less than a million.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 15:26, 20 September 2010 (BST)
Not sure where you got those numbers. It was much more evenly matched. 3M Reds and 2.4M Whites at the height of the war. Whites also had Allied Intervention which made the gap only about 500,000 soldiers in favor of the Reds. My point was, at the beginning of the war, during the October Revolution (the era on which this hunt is centered) the Reds were pretty unpopular outside of St. Petersburg. --~Vsig.png 15:58, 20 September 2010 (BST)
I got it from the fact that I've done in-depth historical studies on it. The war allies of the tsar never entered combat during the civil war. The largest single force the whites held was roughly 40,000 Czech legion soldiers led by Kolchak and the directory government. Apart from that, there were Denikin and Kerensky. Kerensky had 600 Kossacks who surrendered before any real combat, and Denikin lasted until 1920 when he was defeated. The Polish had a larger army, but weren't in any way affiliated with the Whites. Later, there was an uprising by the greens (once again not the whites) who had a largish force but were just peasants. all though this, the Red Army was the largest force, which peaked in 1920 at 5 million. They managed this through conscription, and then sent in Cheka agents to kill any deserting soldiers. Protip: Don't use Wikipedia.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 16:06, 20 September 2010 (BST)
Source: Peter Oxley, Oxford University - "[The Red Army] did not exist in 1918, but in 1920 it was 5 million strong." and later, "The largest combined total of White forces facing the Reds at any one time was no more than 500,000, and they were divided between different armies."--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 16:15, 20 September 2010 (BST)
Alright, I'll give you that the written history (not all Wikipedia) that I read was likely skewed. The sources you cited above does state that the Reds did not reach those numbers until 1920, though. What did you learn of the October Revolution during your studies? Did it not state that the Soviets were unpopular at that time? Was this information I've read skewed as well? (not trying to start a flame war. Promise. I find this subject very interesting)--~Vsig.png 16:41, 20 September 2010 (BST)
Nah, it's ok, it's a darn interesting subject. The Bolsheviks (the ones who took power) were unpopular until 1917, when they became by far the most powerful force in the country. In terms of whites v Reds, there were very few people in the country supporting the old government. Most people wanted reform, but didn't know where they wanted it. Realistically, though, by mid-October 1917 (just before the revolution), the Bolsheviks were the dominant force in the Petrograd Soviet. Not even the nobility were truly loyal to the tsar and the Provisional Government, but they'd have supported more Menshevik or SR policies.--Yonnua Koponen Talk !
