Did you get my orders? I lost my connection as I clicked Send, and when I restarted my connection, it said PM Sent, but I wanted to double check.

OOC: I've realized over the neses that you seem to be at your finest when you're stoned/drunk/high/other drug-induced state
No senor, my inbox is saying no new PM's so try to resend.
Replace "finest" with "most hilarious" and I'd agree with you. It's like Mitch Hedberg resurrected, but less coherent.OOC: I've realized over the neses that you seem to be at your finest when you're stoned/drunk/high/other drug-induced state
EDIT: Abaddon, are you not going to be able to get on AIM before orders time? Because I'm mostly just waiting on you here.

Eep, orders sent!
I hope this NES lasts a good while.
Any chance of a labelled map?

In case you don't realise, there have been complaints about it on the While We Wait thread- and that's somewhat an underestatement.
DISCLAIMER: I use the word murder, but in AT LEAST one of the two cases I consider it something which would not morally be as bad as murder.
Two Sons
Erik XV had two sons, whose relationship was bad to say the least. Both would willingly murder the other, due to their vastly diffrent ideologies and beliefs. One was named Charles, the other Julius (after Julius Ceasar).
Charles was a firm believer that Sweden was taking the wrong course. He advocated extending Swedish power, abandoning what Erik called serious Protestantism, and focusing on removal of the Russian threat by a Poland-Ottoman Empire-Austria-Sweden-China (it was slightly grandiose) pact, with the presumed support of Mongolia and aid from Britain and France. The objective would be to create a Ukraine buffer state that would allow for mutual defence against the Russians, and a future strike when time permitted to destroy them. Charles ultimately wanted Swedish power to grow as great as possible, and justified the possible murder of his brother on these grounds.
Julius was a true follower of the philosophy of Erik XV. He advocated mass colonisation to bring Protestantism to the world, aiding German Protestant states when they needed it, and trying to contrive the weakening of France by some means. He ultimately believed that worldly effort would fail, but considered that the good it would do would make it worth doing anyway. Ultimately, he hoped for the bulk of the world to be part of a Swedish colonial empire, taking large amounts of unstrategic land- and as well, other Protestant powers holding large amounts of land- while Catholicism was confined to Europe and eventual destruction. He justified his brother's murder from Matthew 21:18, where Christ said he had all power on heaven and on earth. Therefore, any king who did not serve God was illegitimate automatically, and a king who sought only his own power applied.
Making things more complicated still, they were twins, and nobody was quite sure which one had come out first due to the panic at the time of birth. Both would end up getting teams of lawyers behind them, and while Erik XV was on Julius's side Charles managed to put enough lingering doubts into him that combined with his distractions it wasn't much help.
The conflict would decide the future of Swedish policy...

@ mod, I'm almost ready to go to New York and I don't have internet there. Mom has to take me. Just increase Infanstructure. Thanks a lot!

OOC: As a further aside to what was said in PM, this:
Should really be modified to a compliment to 1-3 Brigades, or a note should be attached allowing multiple Artillery Brigades to be assigned to a given troop formation, as otherwise a whole lot of unit allotments (like mine, for example) don't make any sense at all.
