Bump?

[Servant Corps]

I didn't update yesterday because I wanted to give other people the chance to add in new actions after the rule change to allow for 2 actions/turn.

I am planning on updating today, just didn't get the time. I'll do so now actually.

[Strife26]

Why does green control so much of my home state? Shouldn't the great plains be a member of the plains?

[Aqizzar]

Oh yeah, a second action, right.

The Goddamn Awesome Army of Texas will attempt to conquer Louisiana.  The Big Easy will be ours!

I'm still obliterating Oklahoma City.  So it's part of the IRT, we'll be better off without those okie footdraggers.

[Servant Corps]

(Forgive me if it does look ugly, I'm experimenting with different format styles to see which one is most effective in writing turns and conveying information)

[Little]

Attempt to break blockade while deploying defenses around my area of control.

[Zako]

We talk to the EU again giving allegience, but reminding them that we want a fair say in what's to come.

We raise money through exports and commerce.

[Poltifar]

if we continue like this, everyone's gona have -10 reputation in a few turns... oh well, my actions:
1) I send a large platoon of tanks into Canada to take over its northern portion.
2) I infiltrate the California Commonwealth with spies that propagate propaganda!

[Aqizzar]

Oh fuck me, we're taking this seriously?  Okay... new strategy...  We'll pincer attack them before they pincer attack us!

*Little Rock or Bust
If we can capture Arkansas, the Confederates and Free Okies won't be able to link up, but we'll be sitting in the Ozarks with our asses out, so...
EDIT: Taking a second look at the map, Arkansas is technically part of the Republic of Texas.  Okay, change that to fortifying Little Rock, as a staging area.  Military push into Arkansas anyway.

*Hey Rodriguez, Can You Top This?
Goad the Zarathustrans into attacking the Confederacy.  Keep up the pressure.


Don't worry, you godless San Franciscans.  I'll get to you soon enough.  Once Sugar Land stops glowing anyway.
Those cowardly traitors in Louisiana will rue the day they cast off the lone star.
And the International Community can kiss my saddlesore butt.  Texas stands alone.

[Nonanonymous]

I agree to the ceasefire, in exchange for... Duh-duh!  One hundred billion dollars!  A large shipment of polyacrylonitrile, and maybe some diamonds too.

As for my turn, I launch a military attack against Texas, since it's the other closest nation, the Confederacy isn't fair game anymore, and my mineral wealth is absolute shit.

I also prepare an orbital contingency plan, complete with a weapons array in order to reclaim ground on Terra.

[Strife26]

I have (as per normal) lots of issues

Tech: What sort of technology levels are we playing with? If we are going to build space-cannons, then I'll have to reread some of Drake's works and build those kinds of tanks (which can shoot down sats.) I'd rather not though.

EU: I asked for peace last turn, and they asked for it back, does it take another action to sign a mutual defense treaty?

My actions:

1) Send massive food aid to west coast, allong with a request that California submit to a no first use nuke policy (just a request, food goes through either way).

2) Mutual Defense Pact With European Union (and anyone else who wants it I guess, except the commies or the texans, but only if they offer).

3) (If 2 is automatic) I build factories in Fargo, ND capable of building advanced tanks.


HINT to those who are using nukes: i don't like people who use WMD's in my country . . .

[Little]

Add to acrions of California Commonwealth: Accept the offer

I think that'd fit.

[Servant Corps]

Tech: What sort of technology levels are we playing with?

Near Modern-Tech. In the Nationstates MMO, it's jargon for technology that may feasibly exist in the near-future, but not actually in the far-off future. It's sorta artibrary, but if you think it can be built in the MT today, then it likely will be allowed. Though I get the final say-so.

So, I guess that entire paragraph above means no space-cannons.

I'll give Nonanonymous another day to change his action from building space-cannons to something else. I'll also give Aqizzar another day to change his action of goading the Zarathustrans.

EU: I asked for peace last turn, and they asked for it back, does it take another action to sign a mutual defense treaty?

Well, they asked for peace, but on their own terms (i.e., accepting the Presidency sufficently). It will take another action, but it's because you have to persuade the EU to accept your demands. Once you are able to persuade them to accept your terms, then the Mutual Defense Pact is signed.

This is just a strange circumstance though. Usually, diplomacy doesn't take an Action, but the EU is currently stubborn, so here we go.

[EuchreJack]

I actually wanted to play as the EU, so I'd like to take it over if that's ok.

First action: Request reinforcements from Europe.  We can't pull out now!

Second action: Agree to a temporary alliance with the NEA, if they agree to allow us ports to land our reinforcements, and agree to a joint recapturing of the District of Columbia.  EU may not like the rebel countries, but a rebel ally is better than losing the war.

Second action if that doesn't count as a second action: EU forces left in DC should start guerilla warfare, with a priority on pinning down units away from the coastline and the NEA borders.

[Aqizzar]

I can't goad the Zarathustrans?  Damn.  Okay, lemme think.

We're under attack by the Zaras from the gulf and the Confederates from the east.  A defensive plan is needed.  Damaged by nuclear strike, Houston is all but indefensible, and too far south to be worth holding against the Confeds, while whole Arkansas region is too far north (and worthless) to hold with the Zaras to worry about.  I'm sure the military will be too busy to fight any more fronts than that.

Action 1 - Set up a defensive line stretching from Bryan/Huntsville up to Tyler/Longview.  Force the attackers march over open land.

Action 2 - To screw with the Pacificans, and everybody else, even more, I'll offer Russia a deal to form an oil cartel with Texas.  Then we can threaten embargoes or price hikes against our mutual foes.  I don't trust a Russian farther than I can throw him, but it's good business.
