LizNES6: Fortune Favors The Brutal

Do you best to get your orders in then. I'm hoping for orders by this Sunday, as it is. If that's a really bad day for some of you, let me know.

I'll have them done sometime tomorrow.

Orders have been sent.

I will try to get them in by tomorrow, my social-academic worlds have collided and the results are disastrous.

Not sure if I'll be able to write orders before Monday. I have an obligation to be extremely intoxicated for a very long stretch of time.

Orders are in.

I have recieved orders from Milarqui, ZD and Arya. The more orders I recieve, the quicker I can get this puppy back on track. Try to finish any diplomacy up and get them in to me as quickly as possible. The deadline remains to be Sunday night, though the earlier, the better.

Will get in orders as soon as possible, but cannot do so until the negotiations reach some kind of conclusion. @Frozen In Ice, Milarqui, etc please reach me with any final terms.

I am waiting on the results of some NPC diplomacy.

Also, as a note, I'm going to start to trying to reword stories with slight bonuses. Nothing too major, but perhaps it'll be a slight incentive.

Great people of the Franco-Germanic Empire! You have all done so well during our fight against the Norse aggressors and their servants the greedy English. I, Pierre Breland, personally commend every one of you for the support you have shown our military, our nation, and our fellow citizens. It is thanks to your efforts that we have gotten this far. It has been each one of you, no matter the religion, gender, or ethnicity that has personally built this great Empire step by step. Though each of us may come from a different background, a different culture, we all worked together with unsurpassed results. Together, we have done more than anyone thought possible if we were alone. It is with this knowledge that I know with your help we shall push for victory in the coming year!

The Franco-Germanic Empire and our allies of reason and justice will prevail! Unity can be a great thing. The unity of the people of this great nation for example. And it is unity that the Norse claim they are after. But that is nothing more than an outrageous lie. The Norse and the English are only dividers. The Norse see two types of people in the world: the worthy and the unworthy, the haves and the have-nots. The Norse promise unity, but only for those who follow their religion, and to achieve it they commit horrible crimes. They worsen millions of people's lives in order to achieve their unity. They take what was prosperous, what flourished, and then crumple it and smash it on the ground, all in the name of unity.

The purpose of unity is to improve the lives, not destroy them. It is one thing to unite your downtrodden neighbors with yourself to give them a chance to share in your success. It is quite another to burn down the house of your thriving and kind neighbor to force them to be subordinate to you with no advantages for themselves. Why is it that a child could see the difference between the two and yet the Norse and English can not?

If the Norse and their minions were to win this war, they would become powerful enough to threaten the rest of Europe with their "Unity". Unity that devastates many only for the benefit of a select few. They would be able to dictate to everyone how they were to act, what they were to think, how they were to live. See already how they threaten us! They promise to maim, kill, and ruin us! Do you want a nation like this to have the power to fully follow through with this?! They would be able to attack any nation without warning or reason, as they have done to Finland and Sapmi. We could let this happen by giving up. Or we could make ourselves a brighter future by stopping them and the English, who have defiled our soil.

How do we achieve this you may wonder, great citizen of the Franco-Germanic Empire? Through unity. But not the false unity that the Norse and English practice. Real Unity that benefits everyone, that makes us greater than the sum of our parts. Unity with your fellow country-man no matter what culture or ethnicity he originates from. Unity with our allies that share our values. That is how we, no, our Coalition of unified allies, will win this war. We will show the Norse and English what true unity is like, and what happens when our great people work together.

They will shout, they will scream, they will complain, they will be vicious, but all that will not help them one bit if we stand together. Let us advance to victory and a better tomorrow!

From: Coalition

This is not over.

To: Dutch Rebels
Keep yourselves in the Lowlands and you will escape the fighting. But continue to attack our citizens, and you will have brought the wrath of all of us upon you. You have no purpose in the Franco-Germanic Empire. So if you continue in your wanton terrorist acts in our land we will remove you. If you have a problem with the Lowlands Union take it up with them. You shouldn't expect a warm welcome from them after you have shown what sort of people you are, but that it is not our problem right now.

If you refuse to negotiate, after we have done so much to address your grievances, then so be it.

Aid us. Stop this mad brute.

Your ships and nationals aren't welcome here anymore.

To: The Franco-Germanic Empire
From: The Dutch Rebels

The oppressed Dutch living under your rule revolted. We did not ask them, nor provoke them, and we will not simply allow our brothers to die alone. We will all hang together, or hang separately, as it was.

And what about us?

Nice story/announcement Ice!

Get any orders or stories in by tonight. Along with revisions. I've already started the update a tad bit, so it should be out quickly depending on when people can get them in to me.

To: German fools
From: Kingdom of England

You entered into this war seeking to line your pockets from this war, but you will pay dearly for your actions.

Update has officially started, and should be up soon, despite me missing orders from two specific players, one of them fairly key for this update. You know who you are, you dirty girl you. >:C

Aside from the, pictures in the update, yes, no?

EDIT: Also, no order revisions are going to be accepted, though you can write stories/do something canon up until the update to get the bonus.

Who is that player, I wonder?

Well, about the pictures, my guess would be that the best thing would be to put the update, and then the pictures, because it gives us the update and then the extras.

Wait, this is alive?

Yessir, and I'd love to have you back. It never 'died', just went on a hiatus for a bit. I enjoyed it too much to let it die. Things were/are just getting interesting.
