I'll be coming up with a schedule for deliveries for AT-45Ds, then.
Well no, we didn't realize that
Uh...could we use it?
And...it is done! The first simian just started orbiting Terra!
It's probably a milestone of some sort. Uh, yeah.

Speaking of your government, I still have a couple of my SIS guys in Zablania "liasing" with your occupation force. Which will of course include them discreetly poking around, asking questions, trying to figure out what you're doing down there with such a large force, etc.Coiler wrote:On the subject of international meetings: Coilerburg has already offered to host the next international meeting, promising a "comfortable, safe, and secure environment".
Of course they'd be smart enough not to start an international incident or anything like that. And since I have no way to magically divine your intentions (OOC) I figure I'll let you know they're down there and deal with it. Since only you know the purpose for your expedition in Zablania.

That will make things far easier. We'll have to see how the FUN can show their gratitude to Tian Xia...
How about ISCA calendars?

The IRT will be continuing its military assistance to Alexandria: this is entirely OOC so no sudden reveals unless you do some intel footwork. The IRT will be selling EC-130V AEW aircraft and AT-38 multirole birds to him in lieu of the recent problems with drug smugglers and insurgents.
Plus, we'll be hitting the resisting communes with F-111 strikes. All plausibly deniable, of course

Don't worry, that thing won't be getting loose any time soon, and if it does it will be killed immediately.Well, I hope Shady's police arent retards and will just shoot the thing Very Happy
OOC: I don't trust you.And I will not attend any meeting in Coilburg. And just a friendly word of advice, get out of Zablania.On the subject of international meetings: Coilerburg has already offered to host the next international meeting, promising a "comfortable, safe, and secure environment".
I think a place like Vulpesia would be a much better meeting place.

Actually Darkest Mordor I hear is quite nice this time of year.
Besides I've got the upgraded Winter Lodge if you all want to visit Yosemite Valley.

There Shady, I brought it up. Happy?DarthShady wrote:Coilburg get your ass out of Zablania, NOW. I remember a time when I wanted to occupy Zablania and everybody said NO. Lonestar even threatened to take my soldiers into custody.
I'm serious, I will not allow you to take it.

Plus, as memory serves, Zablania is still under the FUN's administrative control. Which means you're basically trying to occupy FUN territory, without permission.
Which, I imagine, will be a slight problem.

Why do you think I'm still building a "Glomar Explorer" type vessel and now have THREE Subs looking in the same area?Fingolfin_Noldor wrote:Bear, I recall you had a sub missing, any news of that?
We may have located it, but it's definatly too late for the crew by now, and we sure don't want any pirates or others prowling around one of our sunken subs now do we?

No problem at all
once The Zepplins, Top Gun and Technocracy have established air superiority, the bombing campaign commences, and then the Black Hand, Shroombo, Snake, Kane, Solid Snail, The Rooster, and everone else does their behind enemy lines stuff, the regular troops will show up, and we will have new elections in Coilerburg, with less espionage, and piracy in the future.

Am I using my position as the "lead" in training the West Neverhood National Police to fill my own coffers?
Preposterous!

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."
