Text:Ultra Nationalized Interview
This is an interview between UltraBigRat (in green) and zipsegv (in purple) discussing the game Nationalized.
UltraBigRat: ahh i remember this
zipsegv: nationalized as it is on the wl2 save
UltraBigRat: mhm
zipsegv: so I like barely remember a lot of shit idk if you remember much more lmao
UltraBigRat: but yes
zipsegv: so
UltraBigRat: the general idea of the game was you were living as a pretty average citizen in this town
zipsegv: yeah so what I remember is like
UltraBigRat: which was pretty restricted (and i think possibly locked down?)
UltraBigRat: with an authoritarian government surrounding it
zipsegv: really stupid dystopian setting that made no sense
UltraBigRat: though the dystopian part of it as far as i remember was kept neatly as a thing in the background that surrounds your actions
UltraBigRat: rather then like
UltraBigRat: the big evil
UltraBigRat: being blatantly obvious
UltraBigRat: the game went like you going to work in a factory
zipsegv: yeah I remember there was like
UltraBigRat: speaking with your coworkers about how things are going and debating with them
zipsegv: a lot of discussion
UltraBigRat: one i remember vividly
UltraBigRat: was debating with a worker on why machines dont take over our work
UltraBigRat: since in the world they canonically could
UltraBigRat: with the general argument given being the economy must flow
UltraBigRat: and afterwards you coudl freely explore and go like shop
UltraBigRat: you had ahouse to do stuff in
UltraBigRat: i think i tried to get a 3d printer
zipsegv: ohh right yeah
zipsegv: so like
zipsegv: did you join at the same time as capy
zipsegv: or did you join later
zipsegv: or before
UltraBigRat: we both interacted i believe in game
UltraBigRat: i think at one point we drove into a ditch here with a car
zipsegv: I remember capy lived with an npc named john
UltraBigRat: and got investigated by the cops
UltraBigRat: with us having something but im not sure what in our pockets
UltraBigRat: that we were trying to hide and failed
UltraBigRat: and i think around that it ended off
UltraBigRat: it was a really good way to do a game honestly especially for the time
zipsegv: honestly I kind of had no idea what I was doing
zipsegv: like I was making shit up as I went
UltraBigRat: yeah and thats completely fine
UltraBigRat: warlords has like no active games right now
zipsegv: I had a conlang around this time called lionek that I just used in everything for some reason
UltraBigRat: because people make giant planned projects
UltraBigRat: and then like
UltraBigRat: dont finish em or run em
UltraBigRat: and then nothing ever happens
zipsegv: well I think I'll be able to host A Continuación like this week probably
UltraBigRat: is that a game name or do you mean a continuation of nationalized?
zipsegv: yeah that's a new game I'm making
zipsegv: idk if you heard
zipsegv: anyway
UltraBigRat: have not
zipsegv: I think nationalized was hosted around 2019?
UltraBigRat: possible
zipsegv: it was 100% before 2020
zipsegv: so like
zipsegv: do you remember any of these events
UltraBigRat: which events
zipsegv: like the ones placed around the map
UltraBigRat: i remember we drove a car into a ditch
UltraBigRat: i dont remember a battle being involved
UltraBigRat: and i dont remember any battles in the game overall
UltraBigRat: there may have been riots but i dont remember
zipsegv: I think capy was sort of involved more with that kind of thing
UltraBigRat: i remember the game overall being pretty peaceful for me
UltraBigRat: mighta been a capy thing yeah
zipsegv: I remember like
zipsegv: the factory being destroyed
zipsegv: in some like riot/battle (or both?) kinda thing
zipsegv: then you got a job at "Asphbox"
zipsegv: which was basically Amazon
UltraBigRat: oh i do recmember something like that here
UltraBigRat: might be terrorists or police or something
UltraBigRat: dont remember what exactly happened though
UltraBigRat: past the walls being busted down
UltraBigRat: the glass represented chat color of the npc btw
zipsegv: yeah I rember that
zipsegv: there was also the like "Reform The Republic" slogan which I think hinted back to a former government that used to be here
zipsegv: and this flag was the "Republic"'s flag or smth like that
UltraBigRat: maybe
UltraBigRat: but yeah thats bout it from what i know
zipsegv: so like
zipsegv: do you think the game was significant in any way
zipsegv: in the larger scope
UltraBigRat: absolutely
UltraBigRat: it was like the next big successful grounded afterlife after al2
UltraBigRat: and so the first one on warlords
zipsegv: wdym by "grounded"
UltraBigRat: as in one where you take the role of an average person rather then a more fantastical character
UltraBigRat: and then live your life basically
zipsegv: was nationalized before or after ascent I honestly don't rember
UltraBigRat: before ascent definetly
UltraBigRat: probably after chains
zipsegv: "between chains and ascent" does maybe narrow down the time a bit but I don't exactly remember when those started being hosted either
zipsegv: capy prob does tho
UltraBigRat: gruhn
UltraBigRat: the warp history book
UltraBigRat: got deleted it seeems
UltraBigRat: with the transfer
zipsegv: was there ever one for chains/ascent?
zipsegv: I transferred all of them over but there wasn't one for that idt
UltraBigRat: it was a whole book i believe
UltraBigRat: and it puts
UltraBigRat: nationalized here on the tree
zipsegv: https://www.mcwarlords.net/wiki/Category:Books
UltraBigRat: tp
zipsegv: cos there's no chains/ascent book there
zipsegv: all the books are in these chests btw
zipsegv: these have been copied to the wiki
zipsegv: we still have the wl2 save so it's possible it's there?
UltraBigRat: yeah cant find anything on it in the wiki
UltraBigRat: mmnghm
zipsegv: so
zipsegv: anything else to mention?
UltraBigRat: dont believe so
zipsegv: alr
zipsegv: I guess that's it then
