IOT Enlightenment 2: Philosophers and Kings

[Lighthearter]

Update is almost done. Going to sleep and go to martial arts and all that before I worry about wrapping it up. If you're Omega, you're allowed to put in your orders while I'm away, but no further corrections from anyone else are allowed.

I will - not PROBABLY, not POSSIBLY, WILL - lose power from Sandy, folks, probably tomorrow night. Hence, I've saved all my work on the update so far offline and will try to get it finished before the hurricane hits in force and I fall back to laptops, phones and generator power for 1-3 weeks.

OOC: Updates can wait, be safe ...


now

 

[Lighthearter]

Oh, I'm safe - it's mostly to the north of us. But I may be offline for a couple of days through a few weeks.

Update goes up later today. If Omega returns and throws his orders in the pot, they'll be calculated since I still haven't done anything much involving the Iberians. Once I do that and factor trade/income, the update will be done.

OOC:
A few WEEKS without power?
I'd be having a conversation with the Board of Directors of that power company.
You and a few thousand other paying customers.
They had more than enough advance notice to begin preparations for storm damage.

ooc: We in Greece are lucky. We never have storms on such scale. Good luck with the storm.

OOC: Perhaps Greece is fortunate. But the East Coast doesn't get that many earthquakes either.

I live an hour from the closest population center. I'm low priority

 

[christos200]

ooc: We are not so lucky. We have an other type of storm called ''Economic Crisis'' or ''We are bankraupted''.

OOC: Yea, those man-made calamities can be worse than any natural disaster.

Still, three weeks is still a little excessive. Hopefully they can get you back up sooner.

Anyway, can't wait for the update. Someone's gonna be in for a BIG surprise (and it's not Patriotic_Fool). ( I've never seen so many smilies! I needed to try some of them out.)

The most interesting part I've calculated so far is the Bay of Bengal naval campaign. Unless this next naval battle outdoes it, the Aussies and Hindustanis have just fought this world's most brutal back-and-forth sea battle of all time.

 

[filli_noctus]

Oh, are you invading France? I really won't be that bothered.
Unless, of course, you're stabbing Romania in the back.

Interesting.

I thought all two player battles were two step affairs.
1. Roll a die to find the winner.
2. Assign losses.

 

[Arrow Gamer]

Not France.
Would you mind if I took it next turn?

Oh, they are. But if both sides take crippling losses...

Should be home in 1-1/2 hours.

Oh My God !

No doubt they were ****ing about a NAP ... damn you aussies ....
Wonder what happened ?!?

 

[filli_noctus]

Put one foot on Celtic territory and you'll regret it - badly.
Actually, as you haven't altered your orders you'll regret it anyway.

 

[christos200]

Since orders are locked, I can say that Emperor Qianlong will do what no Chinese Emperor has ever done: Conquer India.

 

[bonefang]

Lets see

 

[christos200]

You started it. I decided to invade you when you posted your real orders in the thread. You said ''Invade Tibet with a General and x regulars''.
