So Jose asked me "Ostmark" "Yes?" "Write a factbook, come on"

1
00:05.000 --> 00:07.500
"We need Ostmark's statistics and facts!"

2
00:07.500 --> 00:10.500
He asked ME, to write a factbook

3
00:11.000 --> 00:16.000
Stats, numbers, names, lists, history

4
00:17.500 --> 00:21.500
I sent him a link to Die Republik

5
00:21.500 --> 00:24.000
That's like..

6
00:29.500 --> 00:31.000
Something like..

7
00:31.000 --> 00:34.500
23 pages and over 450 posts

8
00:38.000 --> 00:40.000
At least!

9
00:41.000 --> 00:47.640
Not to mention all the threads that have disappeared in the black hole of the archives

10
00:47.640 --> 00:50.750
And if you read the oldest posts and stats

11
00:50.750 --> 00:56.000
They are completely different from the most recent ones!

12
00:58.000 --> 00:59.500
Because when the forums were reset

13
00:59.500 --> 01:01.500
I couldn't be bothered to open a new thread

14
01:04.200 --> 01:06.000
So i just kept Die Republik

15
01:06.590 --> 01:08.500
And pretended nothing happened

16
01:13.000 --> 01:14.500
And Alexander Besselman

17
01:14.500 --> 01:16.500
I've changed his background at least twice

18
01:16.500 --> 01:20.000
Because i  keep forgetting the things i write in Die Republik

19
01:21.000 --> 01:27.000
"WRITE A FACTBOOK GODDAMN IT!"

20
01:35.000 --> 01:36.500
He's been asking me for months

21
01:36.500 --> 01:39.700
To write at least some basic statistics

22
01:41.000 --> 01:44.000
So one day i said: ok, maybe i should write one

23
01:44.000 --> 01:47.000
So i've searched Die Republik for a couple days

24
01:47.000 --> 01:49.000
I created a txt file called "Factbook"

25
01:50.000 --> 01:53.000
It says "Republic of Ostmark; Capital: Wien"

26
01:54.750 --> 01:56.000
That's it

27
01:56.000 --> 01:58.000
There's nothing else in it

28
01:58.000 --> 02:02.500
And i haven't added anything since then

29
02:05.000 --> 02:07.000
Factbook:

30
02:10.000 --> 02:11.000
Officiale Name: Republic of Ostmark

31
02:11.000 --> 02:13.000
Capital: Wien

32
02:15.000 --> 02:17.000
When i realized i've never had actual statistics

33
02:17.000 --> 02:20.750
I also realized it was too much of a hassle

34
02:21.000 --> 02:28.000
I have to generate names for towns, ministers, generals, members of parliament

35
02:29.000 --> 02:30.000
Really?

36
02:30.000 --> 02:32.800
Yes because i don't remember them

37
02:36.900 --> 02:39.800
And they are different in each article

38
02:40.000 --> 02:42.750
No fucking way i'm writing a Factbook..

39
02:50.750 --> 02:55.000
It's gonna take one year at least

40
02:56.689 --> 02:58.189
But you sure have the sources

41
02:58.189 --> 03:04.000
Yes probably in the hard drive i formatted three years ago

42
03:04.000 --> 03:09.000
But i remember the most important things

43
03:09.000 --> 03:11.500
Like the most important events

44
03:16.689 --> 03:20.000
"Republic of Ostmark; Capital: Wien"

45
03:23.900 --> 03:26.500
That's a still some sort of factbook

46
03:31.000 --> 03:36.500
I hope he like it because i put a lot of effort in it.
