CommradePotatoe

CommradePotatoe is a semi-notable civ player who played on CivClassics and is planning on playing on the upcoming server of CivMC. He was an active member of the Lambatan government from May to November 2021. His planned main residence on CivMC will be Cortesia Del Mar, while remaining as a normal player in Lambat and Lusitania.

Initial time on CivClassics 2.0
CommradePotatoe Initially discovered CivClassics via a reddit post made to r/imaginarymaps Subreddit, and began to research the server through CivWiki and through the server Subreddit. CommradePotatoe spent about a month and a half before joining since he didn't possess the Java version of Minecraft at that point. During his time of research, he came across the Free State of Pacem, Impressed by the detail of the CivWiki page, and interested in Pacem's building culture, Potatoe decided to head there. Initially CommradePotatoe would spawn in Icenia's Carbon Island Chain and head to 0,0, where he would then head to Pacem in hopes of becoming a citizen. After making a stop in Alexandria, Potatoe would finally reached Pacem before logging off.

Time in Pacem
Potatoe quickly got citizenship and became a member of the city. He then got an apartment and set up a dye shop, and began to sell from there. He would invite some of his friends to the city in an attempt to bring the city out of its inactivity, but failed when they soon stopped playing. He would visit other countries such Mount September, where he became acquaintances with Nebula while exploring Mount Augusta. Eventually though, he would grow bored in Pacem due to the lack of players and began lookin for other countries to join.

Time in Icenia
After mining for resources, Potatoe decided to move to Icenia, ironically the same place he initially spawned in. He would soon construct a house there with another dye shop in an attempt to make more money. His time in Icenia would consist of ferrying dye from Pacem to Icenia and collecting more resources. Potatoe faced a different problem in Icenia, unlike in Pacem, where players were few and far between, Icenia was a lively and very active city, which he felt was hard to integrate into. He once again grew bored and began to look for another nation to join.

Some Notable Events

 * Exploration of Mount September and Mount Augusta
 * The Dye Shops established
 * Accidental usage of a military iceroad
 * Vodka Journey

Early Period
While going to purchase some vodka from Nebula up in Anyakova, Potatoe passed through a new country known as Lambat, which had recently been raided, and decided to donate a few extra diamonds he didn't spend on the vodka. Interested in the country because of their recent posts to the subreddit, he decided to gain another citizenship. Unlike Pacem and Icenia, Lambat provided a more friendly environment which was easy to get involved in since the nation had been recently created. He would go on to repurpose old railways west of the Lambatan mainland that connected to the colonies of Isla Occidental and New Kaylayann and reorganize them into the Lambatan Colonial Line (LBCL) Afterwards he would later run and become elected as a judge on May 15th. A day later he would also become the Lambatan Minister of Industry and Trade.

During this time he would become close friends with players such as Kaprediem and Banyough, and befriending others such as Kloudei, Yodabird, Metriximor, and Hills4Real. He would also invite his IRL friend Ch1pR to Classics, who joined Lambat at first, would later go on to found Sussex. On July 28th, He was moved from the Ministry of Industry and Trade, to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. One June 15th, Commrade would run for vice president, alongside InvertedMind. They would lose this election, but only by 4 votes. This would start CommradePotatoe's political career inside of Lambat defined by an attempted friendly opposition to the ruling group of Lambat.

On July 24th, Potatoe would go on to form the Special Adminstrative Region of Vesteria, with the goal of bringing his IRL friends together, alongisde SpacemanSpleef and Banyo. A combined lack of motivation on most parts, including Potatoe's, led to the project failing and becoming nothing more than a storage area.

In mid august, Ch1pR would masquerade as ZombiOsprey, who would claim to be a NATO alt with drop chests inside of Port Gretsin. Due to a border closure, which was caused by MTS iceroad incident, ZombiOpsrey was kept out of Lambat. He would later be pearled, as would Ch1pR. Due to an accidental association of their accounts, Potatoe would be pearled for about 2 days until their accounts were de-associated. This didn't sour their relations too much, but did lead to distrust between Lambat and Sussex.
