>At the beginning of the session on 17 October, Honecker asked his routine question of “Are there any suggestions for the agenda?” Stoph replied, "Please, General Secretary, Erich, I propose that a new item be placed on the agenda. It is the release of Erich Honecker as General Secretary and the election of Egon Krenz in his place."

>Honecker reportedly calmly responded: "Well, then I open the debate".

erich honecker the fearless old man

As I cross inside, I catch the sight of an old man, sat hunched in a chair. He looks pensively out the window, face flat, eyes teary.
"Chairman Honecker..." I can't believe my eyes. He turns to me; his look is full of a knowing sadness.
"All I have worked for... All I have built..." Tears roll from his dark, wide eyes. "What can be done now? So many dreams left incomplete. This was my life, your life... The life of our country and people... How could they have done this?"

I can not speak. This man, this shadow of Erich Honecker, now looks at me with hope, like he knows me - like he's known me his whole life.

"Anton...?" He lifts a hand. "Anton? You came back. Old friend. Come. Let us talk again of the future, as we did when we were young."
Beside Honecker is a document. A faded and weak signature lines the bottom page. Before I can speak, he glazes over once again, something out the window catches his eye.

"The birds are flying south again, aren't they, Anton?"

STATILAND GANG
STASILAND GANG

I didn't play much WW3 but I had a lot of fun keeping up with the lore.

Some great stuff in there even from the outside looking in with little of the on-server context.

I played from time to time, and it was really nice, to be fair.

But I could see why it went down in the end, since well, I also stumbled upon the people that kept bringing it down.

"Russia's perennial quest to build a strong state, to match an ever-superior West, had culminated, yet again, in personal rule. That person was extraordinary, a man of deep Marxist-Lenninst convictions and iron will, but dogged by Lenin's purported Testament calling for his removal and internal opposition over the searing episode of forced collectivisation-dekulakisation... Could Bolshevism's avatar Stalin solve the deep challenges of Russian history that, along with anti-capitalism and the mass-age, had produced him and his epigones?" (Kotkin, 2017:299)

I reckon that the real question here is:

I am on chokepoint?
