Reiser

Yes, yes, I know. I was removing other people and removed you by mistake.

I'm glad I made Italy a super power viva L'Italia!

Sorry about the EEC mess-up. I was cleaning up old nations and accidentally removed you!

Speed mafia right now! http://chat.mibbit.com/?channel=%23mafia&server=irc.mibbit.net

We're trying to clear up the spam as well as the broken land system rules in the GM group right now. By next update, we should have something. So next time you won't have to read that many pages, most of it quite spammy.

Offered an alliance in IOT V.

Fiftychat is more like a CFC OT chatroom that anything, and they talk about everything and anything. Its unique. Try it sometime.

Yeah, it's CFC-related, particularly the OT crowd. Sort of.

Well, I'm sure if you asked...Yeah, I know, Australia is closest to you.

I was mostly gunning for Australia. Oh well. Maybe the next time.

What else is there?

The USSRK wants to join our European brothers, who we have fought alongside in the islands of Ocenia against Spain.

As the Spanish are not in the EEC, they have a precarious position if things turn sour for them. Opportunity?

Since Zelet's been kapoot and I read your convo where he gave authority over his nation to you until he's gone... I have a message from Gran Colombia:

"Avast Comrades of Italy! The Colombian Eagle has landed in Spain and we are ready to push towards Madrid, having evicted the Spanish from America and we are slowly working on their allies, the treacherous Argentines, with the Brasilians.

We understand the Kingdom of Italy once owned eastern Spain, but traded it to them... we offer you the chance to take it back. All you need do is declare war on the Spanish, to reprimand them for their aggressive actions in Latin America.

Best regards,

-Gran Colombia"

Sure. I'd like bits of Western Germany as well, but I'm not too greedy. Go ahead.

I plan to take a good proportion of France and I would at least like Belgium as well (Brabant being another of the Burgundian cities). Did you have a map in mind?

It's not in the OP because that limit does not exist.

Wut? You can't get from East Med to Red Sea. Not unless you control Egypt. I blacked out both the Suez and Panama Canals.

Previous IOTs assume an unidentified Cataclysm destroyed all governments and left the world blank to be claimed (eg. the intro of IOTII). We're not having this in IOTV.

He can't at the moment - there's an ocean (or several) between Japan and Byzantium. You can't as well, since to go to China you'd have to pass the southern Atlantic and the Indian Ocean, unless you have a land connection (ie your own territories) to China, which you don't.

No. Distance penalty only apply for oceans, and then it doesn't matter how many oceans are in the way either.
