Looks like the party's over just when things were getting interesting. Damn.

Rise of Nations, anyone?

Note: As a modem user, I am eminently qualified to state that while there have been HEAPS of graphics in this thread (with one of mine being present ), it's all in good fun. Sure, it takes five minutes to load this page, but there is always the option in IE and Mozilla not to load images. Remember, patience is a virtue. Still, I must reluctantly concur, we are getting a little too spamy here.

Lay down your arms, Comrades!

No thanks. Not ever. Is it just me or everybody is rooting against Mustantopia? if so I'm throwing my weight behind Great Mustang's fold. *me likes underdog*

*FF redirects attention back to Palantir* "Yes my Lord Mustang, your armies will be ready within two weeks. Why two weeks? Union refuses to work during holidays, and we must wait for fuel cells delivery to forge the blades (can't use trees, remember what happened to the last you-know-who who tried that?)"

Oh you mean these fuel cells FF? *points to a burning fuel cell factory and a shattered convoy loaded with them*

@Mustang: Your Imperial Highness, I hereby inform you that all attacks on me were futile duoe to my extremely strong booze-driven defence field. In the meantime, I was working on the "sleeper" program which is now in full effect. All we have to do is just to relax and wait for the results. Our decoys worked fine for testing the enemy's firepower, and their hasty military developments are merely a reflection of a fear of a close end.
Yours truly,
Minister of Smoking and Drinking Affairs.

"Beer is proof that god loves us and wants us to be happy"

i have started my own state, the democratic union of south kent or DUSK.

in DUSK we shall strive to push mankinds knowledge ever further in the areas of science and philosophy.

DUSK is neutral in the conflict between pdrns and mustantopia, and we will gladly host any peace talks between the two protagonists, and grant shelter to those requesting it.

Any attempt by either side to attack our interests or our citizens or those under our protection shall be met with due force.

It is better to aim for the stars and hit the tops of the trees than to aim for nothing and hit it dead on.

<MEMORANDUM>
To: RL
From: Ch.Com - AM / FM - StatSec
Subject: Let's Make A Deal

At the very brink of victory, we have been stymied by a double turn of misfortune: The Evil Emperor of Mustantopia has gained a formidable ally, the Sinister Sultan of Factorovia, Fear Factor IV, yet another malevolent despot; and our very own Freighter Fighter has deserted our ranks to establish his own republic.

We still carry the day in the field as the Factorovian forces are as yet two weeks from completing their muster. Orillion, your most loyal field general still has marshalled a mighty army against our foes. But now would be the most opportune time to deal with the enemy from a position of strength.

I recommend that we settle to terms, perhaps retain a token presence within Mustantopia along our border as should be our right (and to maintain access to a population of of those comely ladies to support our Cadette recruitment efforts.

Might I suggest the establishment of Morrisons outposts throughout the occupied territories? My field agents advise that they seem to attract a large numer of females from the immediate vicinity.

DUSK science and technology broadcast:

We are launching our own space program with the following goals:

* To study the possibility of longterm space habitation
* Research and development of new pharmaceutical products and technologies
* To explore the solar system and exploit any mineral resources that maybe present.

and, in the spirit of co-operation and peace with PDRNS, mustantopia and factrovia, we invite them to join us, if they so wish, however we shall share our knowledge with you equally, unless you plan to use this knowledge to the detriment of your neighbours.

30/12/03 Central Committe Policy Document 49353 - Top Secret

ref: Statsec strategic report submission

MinProp suggestions for re-alignment of military forces in Mustantopia provisionally approved, after crimethink investigations.

Propose Non-Aggression pact with Mustantopia and division of separatist DUSK territory by force. Avoid entry of Factorovian armies into conflict by any means but keep strategic forces on state of high alert. Shoot all internal traitors as a precaution!

Our territorial integrity must be maintained at whatever costs (because I have to go shopping at Morrisons down the road)

Good work!

leader tawaklina, any attempt at hostile action will be met with in kind, we have co-existed for a long time now in peace with the major powers here and we wish to do so, however we have only know felt the need to make our presence known now.

didn't quite catch sS' post in the flurry of patriotic fervour that my leadership has inspired

an excellent idea, sS, more victories for me! I am of course Risk/Stratego/AoE/C&C/SW:GB generallissimo and remain (almost) undefeated in non-cheat games.

leader tawaklina, would you be interested in a trade agreement? we provide you with food and medicines if you need them, and in return, you may build up to five ( 5 ) morrisons outlets in DUSK, however, if you use the morrisons outlets as a cover for any nefarious deeds, we shall close them down.
