The Marxist-Leninist Commonwealth

The Housing Office

A home for every household

The Commonwealth houses its working people. A Workers' House comes in three sizes, for households of one to six, each with a bed for every resident, a kitchen corner and storage. Take one as a building kit and build it with your own hands, or order a house built by the State on a spot you choose.

The founding stage: houses and building kits are free. What the common stores lack of a kit, the State makes.

Two ways to a home

A building kit

  1. Ask for a kit below, or with /cw housing kit <small|medium|large>. The number of residents picks the house.
  2. Collect it in the world with /cw housing collect, one portion of up to 18 stacks at a time.
  3. Build it where you like, outside the Square of the Revolution. One kit per citizen; a second only with the game master's approval. The goods are marked as the State's gift: they are for building, and cannot be delivered back to the stores.

A house built by the State

  1. Stand on the ground just before where the front door should be, look at the plot and type /cw housing here <small|medium|large>. Only the game master sees where it is.
  2. Confirm the order here, with the number of residents.
  3. The game master surveys the spot (flat, free, and not on the protected square), approves it and builds the house. You are told in the game. The house is protected like the square: only its residents may build in it.
  4. One house per citizen, besides a kit; a second only with the game master's approval.

The Housing Office in the world

Clerk of the Housing Office, from the front: The clerk in a cream jacket with red facings over a white shirt, black trousers, the red folder of the house plans under the arm, a pencil behind the ear and a black cap with a red star.
Clerk of the Housing Office

In the districts the Housing Office keeps offices of its own: a small house of brick under a dark oak roof, a red gable with a gold star. At the counter the Clerk of the Housing Office shows the three houses, hands out building kits (/cw housing kit) and explains how to order a house built by the State: you choose the spot yourself, standing on it (/cw housing here). My order answers as /cw housing status does.

By the wall hangs the notice board of the houses: each house with its price (free in the founding stage) and how many were built this plan period. It never names a resident or a place. A click on it lists the houses, as /cw housing does.

No Housing Office has opened in the world yet: the office is here on the website, in the Citizen's Booklet and at /cw housing.
