Does that mean you'll have to include a FRONT TOWARD ENEMY label?
Anyway, I'm going to assume the Vineyard/Baerne/Shinra meeting is in unreal time and that I've gone back to my nation since then. Don't know yet if it'll be public knowledge what I did there after the fact, or if it'll be presented as an internal agreement between Brandon and Jeffery. So...not sure how to play reactions to it yet (heck, we don't even know the final result yet ).

In the "Most Dangerous Game" arc I had with the hunters in Veleria, I had some hunters show up with outstaning "Shroom-Mannlicher" scoped rifles (typically using Canipold scopes manufactured in Canissia... plug!). They would make good sniper weapons...
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around! If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!! Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!
6.8mm P90; possible? I'm trying to limit the number of small-arms ammunition calibers so as to make supply costs easier.

Is there a reason not to? It's an excellent cartridge.

Well, yeah, but anything from 6mm to 7mm would be a good caliber.

8mm is an excellent round, but more of a Battle Rifle cartridge than an Assault Rifle cartridge.
It would be worth considering for a squad-level LMG, though...

The Langley Armed Forces is in the process of switching over from 5.56mm to 6.8mm. As of 2015, army special forces (Strategic Operational Services Brigade [if you know your acronyms, you'll know what that's referencing] and Langley Royal Guards Brigade) and the Marine Corps are using 6.8mm in modified Minimis, Ultimax 100s, HK416s, SCAR-Ls, TAR-21s, and AUGs (the SAR 21 was phased out as being redundant a while back and has been replaced on a 1:1 basis with more TAR-21s and AUGs), while the rest of the Armed Forces are still using 5.56mm; the transition should be complete by around 2018.

I am -intentionally- copying the West. After all, the usurper Westchesters are no longer in power in Tian Jiao, so plotting to destroy them for the glory of Eastchester is moot...
Now let's celebrate and get drunk, just to piss off the MESS.
*shrug* When your drunken pictures show up in tabloids, we won't be the slightest bit unhappy.

It's not the first time high ranking Shroomanian and Byzantine politicians have been caught inebriated, wearing novelty breasts on their chests. In fact, Exarch Decius' fanciful golden bosoms are the talk of the town!
Great booze up!
EDIT:
I temporarily removed my OOB from the OOB Thread since I'm gonna have to take some time to update it, since it has never been updated.

At least stick around for when Lelouch arrives and awards President Hank with the highest military honor the Duchy of Langley can bestow on a person. I don't have time to get that post up right now, though; it should be up tomorrow.
