@Tamino: You are invited to join SATON. Remember, you will gain substantial monetary investment from this (OOC: 12 dollary doos).

Tamoio accepts.

India will sign the Treaty of Yangon if Burma accepts that the Indian population of the four provinces will move to Indian territory.

Burma is alright with this provision.

India will sign the Treaty of Yangon if Burma accepts that the Indian population of the four provinces will move to Indian territory.

Then it is decided. The Greater Empire of Korea shall sign the treaty on behalf of the remaining Coalition forces.

 

[christos200]

Good. We will sign this treaty.

Espionage orders due in 24 hours. Full orders due in 72.

Congo and Korea have developed breakthroughs in their automobiles, allowing for more efficient shipping. (+5% to Infra tech)

Amazon's forces have developed better fortifications. (+5% to defensive tech)

The Solans have developed a tank material that is cheaper and lighter than their prior alloy of choice. (+5% to offensive tech)

(Doing stuff from last turn this turn; will probably shift tech discoveries to being a mini-update every turn for the same reason as espionage)

 

[Tyo]

Fortschritte would like to ask if any nation would allow Fortschritte to take a loan out on their national banks.

 

[Double A]

Fortschritte would like to ask if any nation would allow Fortschritte to take a loan out on their national banks.

We are not opposed to this.

Some of Sol’s manufacturers have closed their doors due to financial strains. (-2 Secondary)

The Congo has conquered another stretch of Jungle. (+50 Infra)

The Congo has also invented a nasty chemical agent perfect for use against insurgencies. (+50 Offensive Tech)

India has invented ships that are less favorable towards capsizing. (+50 Naval Tech)

 

[Tyo]

As Korea has not been complying with certain diplomatic calls, we find it necessary to officially declare an embargo. Our trade will from this point be set to .3 and we urge members of our league to do the same, however do not require it.

 

[Celticfury]

The Greater Empire of Korea calls upon all members of the Pacific Prosperity Pact to embargo the nation of Fortschritte. Trade restrictions are to be set to 0.3 with the communist nation. His Excellency Emperor Yeong calls upon the Vishkanyan Dominion to support the Greater Empire of Korea in this endeavor.

 

[Tani Coyote]

3 hours until orders lock, everyone.

 

[Tyo]

Oh crap.

 

[Jehoshua]

second the above

 

[Kinich-Ahau]

Dropping out; do what you wish with the Arnangu.

 

[arya126]

It is extremely unlikely I will get orders in on time considering I have 45 minutes and I have alot of things on my plate. Can we get a 24 hour extension just in case?

seconded

 

[KaiserElectric]

Thirded?

 

[Tani Coyote]

Very well. Lock postponed for 24 hours.

Gives me more time to play my game of Age of Imperialism anyway.

 

[Tani Coyote]

Orders locked.

While I compile this update, let's have a bit of a poll.

This game is a dread to update, but I do so because I reason that there are folks who want to play. That said, lots of folks have dropped and there's increasing amounts of inactivity - even with long stretches between updates, orders are completely forgotten. I just don't think this game holds much importance with most players.

So, what say you about me canning this and working on something else? I've always wanted to try and run a realpolitik-esque game and this would be a good excuse to do so.

 

[Tyo]

I personally like the game but do see the inactivity as of late.

 

[Jehoshua]

Since you felt the need to ask the players the question, it would seem apparent that you should go ahead and do whatever it is you actually want to do rather than persist in something that isn't striking that particular note which makes one want to keep going with a game, and which as you stated is tedious for you as well.
