Revolutions: Week 3 Period 5
Aly was totally not pouting at the stack of freshly baked pie on her desk. It was frowning, really. And not because she was anti-pie in any way, but because those lovely pies had been the notes and materials for her lesson today just minutes ago.
She looked up from her scowling as the class found their seats. "So. We have pie today instead of class notes. Which really. I'm perfectly okay with." She glanced at one of the TAs. "Want to go grab some forks and plates so we can at least enjoy it?"
"Since I'm not going to try to redo all that," she gestured vaguely at the pies, "right now, we'll go for a different activity. The past few weeks we've discussed what would move you to revolt against a government. Today, we'll put that into practice a bit." Aly reached for the class list andpouted scowled once more as she realised that too was pie.
"Right. Three groups. One's the representatives of the government - a monarchy, yes," she said with a smirk. "The second group is formed of potential revolutionaries and the third, the general people on the street. It's gaining the support of the masses that will allow a popular rebellion - as opposed to a coup d' état of some sort - that allows a revolution to gain momentum and hopefully eventually succeed. Today, we're going to work on gaining momentum."
She listed off the groups - of course they were totally random, really - writing them on the whiteboard as she went.
Aly grinned mischievously back at the class. "Makers of mischief and revolution? Feel free to decide on what exactly you're rebelling against. Stalwart supporters of Her Majesty's government? Obviously you don't want the reactionaries to succeed. Both of your groups need to focus on gaining the support of the people and possibly finding supporters in your opposing camp."
"If you have any questions, ask them now or during class. We'll add some more factors into play next week."
[OOC: Go ahead and invent why you're rebelling, why the government should stand, fun flying horses, anything you like. Unaffiliated peoples? If a group convinces you to join them, go ahead and tag into their camp and start working on your friends. Feel free to try to convince people in anyway other than actual violence or threats, thank you very much. Aly may be poking her head into discussions, the camps, etc. Feel free to ignore her or try to convince her join up. OCD iscoming up]
