Background of The Commune

The Commune is an autonomous region located in the area formerly housing Rhode Island. In 2019, after finding out that Staten Island wasn’t its own state, The Commune overtook Rhode Island by uniting liberal arts colleges across the northeast and gaining grant money from Buzzfeed Corp., which thought this was a joke. Not to go off on a tangent, but when they found out it wasn’t a joke, they were like, “ew...”, but we were like, “too bad, Buzzfeed.” After BuzzFeed, The Commune found an investor in Kim DotCom, an internet entrepreneur and rapper, who has become a sort-of “cool but creepy uncle” to Commune-ers.
Examples of Commune-ers include but are not limited to, people who really want to like Kale, college graduates who probably would have gone into farming because NPR told them to, the 99%, the 1% who did it on a dare, and professors who are trying to be supportive but really don’t get it. As a Commune-ity we believe in every conspiracy theory, except the wrong ones. Specifically, since we were started by tweakers indebted to Sallie Mae, we believe that Shia LaBeouf is the reincarnation of Abraham Lincoln. This core value has shaped the beliefs and taste in music of The Commune itself. Our Commune-al Anthem is Pass This On by The Knife, our Commune-al Hymnal is Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Rey, and our Commune-al Animal is a plush puppy wearing a birthday hat.
The Commune-stitution
1. Officials are to be elected by a deep voice in a dark room that is reminiscent of your dead, unloving father.
2. All elected officials must be able to do a half-decent Ice-T impression.
3. To join the Commune-ity, prospective members must have three core conflicting values, and one of them must be pottery-making.
4. Don’t question The Commune, and it won’t ask you to tell us your deepest fears.
5. [CLASSIFIED] Oh no. Whoops.
6. Lava is not scary. You are scary. You should be scared.
7. Don’t Waste the Life that the Good Lord gave You.
8. Friends. 1-3 is sufficient.
9. Put whatever you want in your body. It’s your body.
10. Remember to Forget

Game End

Hello everyone,

It is with great sadness that Darren and I report we have made the executive decision of ending "The Spy Game" early. Today was the last day of the game. We will not disclose the reasoning for our decision but we will say we feel it's the best course of action for everyone. The winner is Schadenfreude, taking first place, Siberia taking second, and The Commune taking third. Thank you all very much for participating in this journey and working with us to improve this game. We hope you all enjoyed playing the game. Thank you all once again.

-Darren and Andrew.

Over the weekend you will not receive points but you will be informed of you points for Monday earlier.

Soldiers used today may not be used again on Monday meaning that cool-downs carry over the weekend.

Propaganda may not be spread in the hallways but are to be reported to Deus Ex Machina for points.

No camera elimination can be conducted during class times in a classroom; Gym is included, therefore during gym classes the gym is safe.




In regard to hallways I hope this map explains a bit of the weird places in the school that may be considered ambiguous: I may or may not make a better one.

Backstory

On May 15th, 2025, Lufthansa Flight 404 from John F. Kennedy Airport, New York, United States to Tullamarine Airport, Sydney, Australia crashed in the southern part of the Pacific Ocean due to an engine malfunction midflight. The Boeing 777-9X crash landing killed all those on board: 493 people died. The Bundesstelle für Flugunfalluntersuchung (BFU), the German Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accident Investigation, sent a team to the coordinates of the crash. On May 27th, 2025, the investigators arrived at the crash site only to be surprised the wreckage of the plane was on a large land mass uninhabited by any human life. The news shocked the investigators. The information was immediately relayed back to BFU headquarters in Berlin, where the information was relayed to German President Hans Mülle. President Mülle sent the Deutche Marine, (German Navy) along with German scientists to investigate the land mass. It was discovered that the land was rich in gold, silver, and oil. President Mülle decided to annex the land mass on June 30th, 2025. When the news of the annexation was publicized, every nation wanted a piece of this land and its riches. Soon, the United States, China, Russia, and many other nations began to annex pieces of this land mass in hopes of benefitting from its riches. Each nation brought the full strength of its military, ready to defend its territory from those any who dare trespass on their mound of wealth. This land, known as Reichtum, has become a constant warzone. On September 1st, 2025, you, -insert nation name here- declare you want your share of the riches of Reichtum. You invade Reiuchtum on the -insert side of island here- in hopes of getting the riches your nation so rightfully deserves. Good luck and may the best nation win.
