- Lighthearter

you don't remember her last baby shower? people were taking bets on when her kid would be born. I put down something normal, and you wrote:
Gender: both
Time of birth: in coincident with the rapture
weight: negative some odd pounds

Arya, I've gotten less than 6 hours of sleep a night since Sunday night the family being on vacation rocks!

I am very blunt and sarcastic IRL, ask, well, anyone. although I did introduce Mr. Forehead to Mr. Coffee Table about 200 times after reading this horror of a page that emits Critical Research Failure on so many levels...

http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0071/0071_01.asp

it's religiously oriented, and it pisses me off(as a Catholic and as a rational human being). sorry about being so blunt(and off-topic)

 

[Ravus_Sol]

I took one look at that religious page and backed of. Otherwise I'm sure i would be banging my head against something as well.

Spirituality and divine sense of purpose I like. That page just seems to be naive sarcasm without having done research with people not books (I hope it's that at least) over how the early Catholic Religion absorbed minor Pagan worship rites so as to make itself more amiable to the citizens of the old Roman Empire. It fails both logically (Logical Spiritual believers would have already researched their religion of choice and know better.) and Spiritually (A Divine centre is unique for each individual and based on emotion now reason making it separate from any Dogma arguments).

Thus Head meet Desk over the most useless and offensive thing I've read for awhile. Written by idiots for idiots.

Anyway this shouldn't veer offtopic like this. The entire last 2 pages have now become Spam so i'm heading deep into lurker territory for a week before i get caught up in it.

Have fun on holiday. Remember it's not complete untill you've had a crazy and/or embarrassing event happen while away.

IF he did any research, it was looking in the bible for verses that can be used to condemn what he knows about Catholicism, which sounds to me like him making crap up. Good research choices are different.

yet you are right, we are off-topic and I didn't help. it just really bugs me when people write negatively about my faith without knowing anything about it. Kinda like if I decided to write about how steam power and turbines work...oh, wait, dad's college major was thermal energy transfer, which gives me a logical source.

sorry to delay, moving on. when will we get the Valhalla facility resolved? and will there be any way to logically and rationally prove beyond reasonable doubt that Russia should give up Ireland peacefully?

 

[Nukeknockout]

sorry, double post

 

[W|M]

If Russia is Buddhist, tell Tsar Pyotr that he'll suffer a lot more torment in the afterlife for this.

 

[Aysee]

Actually, you should tell him that he'll be reincarnated as a fruit fly... But he's immortal and immortals can't die... And then if they die, well a whole lot of other crap things will happen...

Anyways, moving on...

 

[Gruekiller]

I'm confused. ._. When did we get so off-topic?

 

[ilduce349]

About the same time LH went on vacation BEFORE posting an update

 

[arya126]

Ilduce chill! You are not helping! Just wait a few ****** days!

Wait who suggested us to try and convince to get Ireland back peacefully? They are a DA. We hate each other. Zero chance of that happening.

 

[MathNerd]

Get back on topic or I'll kidnap you, hold you hostage, then kill you.

Good day!

 

[ilduce349]

@MN: I wanna be kidnapped

 

[Lighthearter]

OK Dad came down and brought my wireless chip so I can update tomorrow. Rejoice my children!

[Celticfury]

We shall wait with bated breath.

 

[MathNerd]

@MN: I wanna be kidnapped

Great! I've already started sending around PMs to see how that can be done.

No, I'm serious.

OOC: In case anybody is freaking out, I mean IC, not in RL.

 

[Aysee]

Everyone get on chat!!! There's a crisis unfolding!!

 

[Twinkletoes89]

Can you describe it to those of us who cannot get on chat?

 

[Celticfury]

Don't worry, Twinkletoes, you'll find out before the day ends. LH should be preparing the update right now.

Aysee Administration Turnset One -

New Meetings -

Regional Maps -

Tech Tree & Great Engineer Whosit -

Spoiler :

A lot of things happened this turnset.

The Valhalla Facility -
The attack on the Valhalla Facility went almost perfectly. Our forces were able to link up with Ukrainian partisans before infiltrating the region, and even to creep almost to the very walls of the compound before being detected. Even then, the enemy never had the chance to use the semaphore tower they had secretly built to signal the nearby army base we also had no idea about. This garrison was so oblivious that it never was alerted until we were long gone. The HDO and Ukrainians seized the compound swiftly and cleanly, pushing into the main administrative hall so fast that they were able to recover technological documents before they were burned(in-game: random tech - result: Constitution). However, that was when things went bloody. Rather then let them fall into our hands, the Russian soldiers cut their scientists' throats. Our forces slaughtered them to the last man in the final clash in the blood-soaked cafeteria. We did take one prisoner though. The Princess Catherine, an Immortal and niece of Czar Peter, was found unconscious in a room in which Alex Armitage, commander of the HDO, clashed with the base Commissar. Apparently she had been struck in the head by falling debris in the fight and the Russian was trying to either get her clear or kill her. The Ukrainians want to execute her publicly and refuse to let her leave their custody. Alex Armitage pleas for orders - the knowledge in Catherine's head could be invaluable. However, the Ukrainians are watching his team as well and he is not sure he can get to her before the Ukrainians kill her.

This is a time where the Night Eagles would be highly useful, but they dropped off the map after the Ceasarian War and no one knows where they currently are.

Orders, Mr. President?

The Scientists -
The Scientists have yielded us their work on Replaceable Parts. From now on they will ask for a sum every Administration in order for us to receive a technology. You will not be told what it is until they hand it over. Are we still to pay them an additional 50 gold for their second tech?

Foreign Aid and the Cold War -
The Greek City of Arretium recently suffered a famine and President Aysee opened the stores of Rome to then, as well as sending generous foreign aid payments. Alexander is awed by our gratitude even in the midst of an international showdown and even Ragnar is touched. In a recent speech at Uppsalla University, he had this to say:

"And to those of you who say 'Oh! The English! They are a land of merchants - weak and decadent! They seek their own profit at the cost of Vikingdom and Russia, ans we must put them to the sword because of it!" I tell you this: You have but to turn your eyes to the Ukraine to see their pure hearts, their true spirit. For even in the face of this antagonism, they still aid their own enemies! We have said it was without honor to seize Cumae and Mediolanum while Vikingdom had spilt blood for them, but in truth would we have meekly handed over these cities, had our own armies fought all the way across Germany and France to get there? I think not! Perhaps in spirit the Englgish are not so different from us!"

This speech has reportedly stirred up a hornet's nest of controversy. Ragnar is a popular ruler, as Vikingdom's only Immortal, but many in the nation see him as "yesterday's news." Vikingdom may be facing some tough times and internal strife as they struggle to adjust to their king's new worldview.

BREAKING NEWS! MOSCOW FALLS TO ARABIA!
The renewed Arab-Russian war has seen Arabia seize several key Russian cities, including most recently Moscow. Now we must decide if we should act upon these developments.

SABOTAGE!
A recent spree of attempted sabotages hit England - first the Iron Mine in Wales, then the Stone Quarry in North England, then the ultimately successful sabotage on the Horses in Iberia. The improvement has since been repaired, but the legacy lingers. No one yet knows who executed this sabotage . . . .

[MathNerd]

OK, it wasn't me. I'm serious.

Sabotages are too low for me.
