Good evening folks! That's right, I actually have the thread up at the time I said I would! It's a bloody miracle! We'll start actually playing at 1630EST, so until then, it's Q&A time, as well as time to register that you're here this evening!

So, how are you, what questions do you have and who's ready to roll?

Previous thread is here: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/21489023/

Full archive is here: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Red%20White%20and%20Britfag

And your theme music for tonight is here: Recognise the awesome and give yourselves a pat on the back for reminding me of this awesome game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySy6QIa1KBM&feature=relmfu

Rolled 4, 6, 3 = 13

Woo, on a shitty proxy at Applebees so I can do this shit!
>>
Reporting in.
>>
Hello. Do I get some use out of my history of literature classes again?
>>
>>21518982
I would hope so.
>>
Okay, let's rock and roll! I'll start by re-posting the last report last thread...

A group of woodsmen head downstream to cut lumber from the tall pines. While there, they also take the liberty of bringing back a small, sticky jar of sap. Also, when passing by the River Brothers, they report something new... The River Brothers have taken up farming in a big way, to sustain their population.

The lumber is put to good use as the tribe starts it sporadic construction of a large storehouse for their wealth. Food, copper, crafted items and gathered resources; all could be found here!

Mikuhla is questioned about the nature of the Sun People and agrees to tell everything he knows. The Sun People live high in the foothills of the mountains, their village commanding a good deal of the land around. Their position means that they would see attackers almost at once. They number a little over four hundred and take well to animal husbandry, though the farmland nearby is poor and their farms have to be built at the base of the hills. They are cunning builders, mostly using copper tools, though he identifies that a few of them had bronze, though it seemed by no means widespread. They are ostensibly ruled by a council, but from what he could tell, one man held power, like a chief.

Does the tribe wish to ask Mikuhla anything else?
>>
>>21519030
Yes, is Khoine alright?
>>
>>21519066
Seconded with a passion. Snow lady needs to be kept level.
>>
>>21519030
I agree with asking about Khoine, must check up on our demigod babies.
>>
>>21519196
Emertha said he couldn't marry anybody except another priestess of hers. Didn't say nothin' about makin' no bastard demigods haha.
>>
>>21519218
Unless...

could a god be a priest of another god? I don't see why not.
>>
>>21519286
Said god saying now.
>>
>>21519066
Let us use this turn for the checking up upon of the snow goddess.
>>
>>21519301
what?
>>
>>21519326
Doesn't require a turn, I wouldn't believe. We're just talking to Mickey and Mickey has been sneaking off to see her. I'm sure he would know. Besides, best save that bit for winter anyway.
>>
>>21519339
Apologies for the confusion, didn't mean to confuse, I just meant to talk to her this turn, not use up one of the points, not that it matters since, as you said, not winter yet. I always have trouble acclimating to the season whenever these threads start...
>>
Mikuhla only says that he and Khoine will deal with the problem of their relationship and his service to Ermetha in their own way. He does say that she is doing fine however. The idea of Khoine serving as a priest of another god though shocks him and is met with immediate objections from both him and Groza, who was sober enough to attend the meeting (folks are saying he's replaced his blood with blackberry liquor).

The Lion Tribe, River Bothers and Earthsplitters all arrive for the festival, bringing with them a handful of their best and brightest, to serve as an example of their clan's strength. Trym makes a point this year of sitting with the Wolfsbane tribe and privately tells the heads of the families that, while he bares no ill will to the Wolfsbane, he had to participate in the tournament last year as the River Brothers champion, to try and keep the peace between the two tribes. The River Brothers were feeling put-upon and were looking at severing contact with the Wolfsbane, until Trym offered to be their champion for the contest. He also presents his young child to the clan, still a baby carried in Syfron's arms, but a healthy young boy none the less.

> Feel free to name the kid, everyone!

Will the tribe talk to anyone at the festival and conduct diplomacy? You will not be able to talk to everyone before the festival is over, so choose well!

A) Talk to the River Brothers
B) Talk to the Lion Tribe
C) Talk to the Earthsplitters
D) Don't talk to anyone
>>
>>21519403
... Kinda feel like there should be a fourth option there to give Trym a collective pat on the back or something. Maybe a blowjob. Because goddamn does he do so much for us.
>>
>>21519453
*fifth
>>
>>21519403
A. Speak with them first and try to repair relations. Inquire as to their advancements in agriculture and offer to exchange a few people to learn each others languages to better facilitate shared cultural values and exchanges.

That's a lot to talk about, but I figured if we voted on all at once we wouldn't have to spread it out over 30 posts, perhaps?
>>
>>21519403
We will address everyone at once with a single speech.

"Everyone, we have grave news. A year ago we sent one of our best to a tribe to the far north as an emissary of peace, and to repay him they turned on him and his entire envoy in an attempt to kill him, and chase him far across the mountains. They even injured the physical form of one of our gods is their zealoutous insanity. They believe that their gods is the single true god and that a single other his heresy. They have shown their hostility and willingness to pursue; the only thing protecting us at the moment is the fact that they do not know exactly where our tribe is, but that will not last for long. We are all people's of many gods, and so none will be safe from there men. We must come together, a single force to ensure that our gods, our people, and our very way of life will be safe. We do not ask you to send warriors, but if you can find it within your power to please help us in any way you can. We will defend our gods, our rights to them, and our tribes. We shall be the shields, help us hold up the barrier against chaos."
>>
>>21519403
Also the kid shall be named Erik.
>>
>>21519477
Second, also inform them about what we've learned about the growing deer population, and get their agreement that they won't hunt until the deer are large enough to not dwindle down again from one season of hunting.
>>
>>21519499
Still talking to the other tribes individually later, but if it's a possibility, this first. I have no problems with any of that.
>>
>>21519499
The River Brothers don't like the gods, IIRC. They keep shying away when we try to explain ours to them, anyway. Otherwise sounds good especially where you specifically don't ask for warriors, just help of any kind.
>>
I think it's a given the Lions will be with us, they're all about fighting.
>>
>>21519626
I think the Earthsplitters will be with us as well, the biggest wildcard in all this is the River Brothers. I think by only talking about ourselves as defenders, and shields, instead of antagonizing warriors, we may still have their support.
>>
I wonder if we could talk our smith into smithing up some bronze arms and armor. Not a lot. Just enough to equip Groza's Devout. Clearly not enough to be a threat to his people, but enough to more adequately defend ours and continue our end of the trade network.

Just an idea to run by later

Rolled 5, 2, 3 = 10

>>21519626
That was me, by the way.
>>
>>21519499
The speech the tribe gives has everyone instantly worried and concerned. The visitors start to talk amongst themselves, the warm, joyous atmosphere of the festival instantly soured. After a short while however, one of the Lion tribe stands on a table, a mug of liquor in one hand, the bronze sword from the Spray Folk at his side. In a bold and loud voice, he declares that the Lion Tribe will follow the Wolfsbane to war and do all that they can to aid them! Too long has the Lion lain in its den, he declares; too long has his tribe licked the wounds the wolf inflicted upon it. The Lion's roar shall shake the wide plains and the tall trees with its fury against the sun itself! Several of his tribe cheer him and raise a mug in his honour. The other visitors are more reticent, but it seems they too are concerned by the news.
>>
>>21519868

>>21519477
The River Brothers greet the tribe's heads cordially and accept the hospitality offered well, as well as the carefully-not-an-apology-we-did-nothing-wrong-but-sorry-anyway. They in turn offer a not-that-you-did-anything-wrong-to-apologise-for-not-that-you-are-but-if-you-were-we-would-forgive you. Then the polite tension breaks down when Rina has a to take a moment to clear her head and take a drink, after all the political double-talk.

They attribute their advances in farming and agriculture entirely to the Spray Folk and their gifts at the last festival. The grains they offered served as seeds for the fields and the tools let them clear the land. With the first harvest, their worries about food were reduced greatly and it seems they now feel extremely warmly towards the Spray Folk. They agree that the deer population is climbing and readily accept the idea that neither tribe shall hunt them until the herd has had time to grow, though some grumble that was their idea, years ago.

The River Brothers also agree to host a member or two of the tribe, to learn their language better. They suggest learning as well from Trym and Syfron, when they next stay in the Wolfsbane village, as they are now both perfectly fluent in both languages.

Who else will the tribe talk to?

A) The Lion Tribe
B) The Earthsplitters
C) Other action
D) No-one else
>>
Rolled 1, 6, 4 = 11

>>21519877
Crap, the Spray Folk have really gotten to them, it's going to take some crafty thinking to take those bastards down.

Let's speak with the Lion Bro's next, if there's one tribe we can count on to back us up, it's these guys.
>>
>>21519916
Agreed, we will have to have a stronger hand in the affairs of the River Brothers in the future, if only so they do not attribute all their successes to the Spray Folk and their gifts.
>>
>>21519868
Well we have at least one tribes support; if they do not send warriors then maybe the River Brothers will at least help supply the tribe with food while our warriors are away.

Go for the Earthsplitters next, ask them how they viewed the speech.
>>
>>21519916
This is what I am worried about, this war turning into something on two fronts. We have gotten it to the point that the Earthsplitters will probably not turn on us at the Spray Folk's provocation, but the River Brothers are getting to that point.
>>
>>21519877
Then have we told the tribes of the mountain folks and their threats then?

A. Ask how they feel about the threat this new tribe poses to all tribes who believe in multiple gods and if they would be willing to form a coalition against them, if they seem game. Don't want to just assume on that to be honest. Then I suppose ask about any advancements they have made that could be traded for mutual benefits.
>>
>>21520019
The Lion Lords just declared that they put their full support behind us in the war effort.
>>
>>21520040
Correction: One of them has. It looks like he has support, but no-one recognises him. From what Wolfsbane has seen, the shamen hold most of the power in the Lion Tribe and they haven't said a thing...
>>
>>21520202
Oh, well, lets A) Ask the shamen what be believes the Lion Tribe should do.
B) Ask the earth splitters what they think

Then I think we're about good.
>>
>>21520202
Also, since he was given the only bronze sword in the tribe, and was able to keep it (because of the nature of their crow god) I assume this guy has at least some power and standing among his fellows.
>>
Whatever happened to talking to our Wolf priest?

He came home last thread and then walked into his hut. I think the wise ones should ask him what he has learned.
>>
>>21520446
I said something along those lines. I believe Britfag is going to do it after we finish up the festival... what ever Derrik has done...

Well at the moment it looks like we might be getting werewolves.
>>
>>21520453
It's a draw in votes yet again, so I guess it's down to a die-roll!

1-3 Talk to the Lion Tribe
4-6 Talk to the Earthspliters
>>
Rolled 1

>>21520601
...It helps if I remember the dice.
>>
>>21520227
Shamen; the plural of shaman.
> Grammar Nazi
> HEIL SEMICOLON!

>>21520615
The Lion Tribe seems to be enjoying the festival greatly. Talk flies between them, their tongues loosened by alcohol, of how many of the Sun People they will kill. The brash young man who declared their support stands and greets the heads of the Wolfsbane families loudly, grinning and asking when the fight will happen. They seem less concerned with the 'why' of it and more with the 'when', in fact. After a short while however, the crow and lion shamen beckon the family heads over, away from the drinking and bragging. The lion shaman addresses the tribe, speaking through the crow shaman as an interpreter.

"The boy is young and brave. He shows good spirit and the others will follow him. Every pride has an alpha and I think soon he will seek to become our chief. If he has the strength to hold the position, this is good and I will not speak against him. He needs to learn to think before he acts though, or his reign may be short-lived. We will aid you, as he says, but I would first know more about our enemy. In fighting you, we learned that charging in blindly will win us nothing."

He mentions nothing of any advancements that could help the Wolfsbane.

What will the tribe do?
A) Arrange a joint scouting expedition to the Sun People, with the Lion Tribe
B) Tell the Lion Tribe everything you know
C) Let the Lion Tribe question Mikuhla themselves
D) Give the Lion Tribe time to investigate on their own
E) Other
F) Refuse to share information
>>
>>21520906
ABC. That sounds reasonable. ABC.

If that doesn't work though, A will have to do. They already agree to fight it seems, so letting they get an idea of the terrain seems to be a rather excellent idea.
>>
>>21520949
Yup yup, maybe for an E have Trym talk to this young warrior, let them get to know each other. Trym might be a good influence, and hey, if he does become chief, then he's always gonna wanna be allies with his drinking buddy.

And hi guys.
>>
>>21521062
*throws a mega rock*

We need all hands on deck, this is war!
>>
>>21520994
Not all the other tribes seemed interested, we can ask the Earthsplitters about it next turn, but I don't think the River Brothers would agree to go. Besides, as we said last time, these people have the defensive advantage of higher ground. This makes sneaking around them that much more dangerous, and less likely to pull off. As small a group of scouts as we can manage would probably be better than every tribe contributing.
>>
>>21521072
I know, we're not demanding the they go, we're just telling them they can tag along if they want.
>>
>>21520906
And please, for the LOVE OF HRUNTI, may we learn from Derrik the Wildsage?
>>
>>21521094
Yea, but even if they agree, I don't think any more than two tribes should go at once, one is already a big enough risk as it is.
>>
>>21521123
I think you mean Derrik Moonborn, he is a werewolf after all.
>>
>>21521123
do this plz
>>
>>21521148
Wait, did I miss something?
>>
>>21521128
Well, we could send more people close to their location and then have them take turns in pairs to go scouting closer. Still a little risky as we have scouts there for an elongated time, but at least everyone gets to see, then.

>>21521070
I'm but a craftsman, not a soldier, commander!
>>
>>21521169
Even then, more trips means an even higher collective risk than with three at once. If you guys are all for this, then fine, I'll bite the bullet here, but I recommend two. If they take prisoners hostage, the tribes will be every man for themself, and we can't afford to lose the lion's support.
>>
>>21521169
You can swing a hammer can't ya? That's good enough for me!
>>
>>21521202
Wait... if we bring along the River Brothers and one of their men get taken hostage...

They will throw their support behind us for sure. They're all about family. It's perfect!
>>
>>21521244
In no way can this plan backfire.
>>
>>21521244
Lets not get into that sort of subterfuge, sir. It could backfire in a big way, seriously.
>>
>>21521244
Do we even think the River Brothers will come? And more likely they'll try to meet the demands of these zealous brutes.
>>
So I miss one thread and we turn onto Machiavellian masterminds, huh? Sincere trust and communication is the best way to make permanent allies. It's how we go from being allied to being one people.
>>
>>21521202
Well, I'm not sure which way would be riskier, just figured two people lurking at any time would be less suspicious than 4 at once.

>>21521225
I can swing MY hammer, if that works for you.
>>
>>21521310
Fine dammit, no "accidental" capturing of some river brother scouts.
>>
>>21521310
Let them hate us as long as they fear us!
>>
>>21521347
If they fear us, they will want to destroy and/or harm us.
>>
>>21521339
I feel like if it was up to Refrek, we stab the River Brother scouts in the back, and tell their tribe they'd been captured, and their last dying wish was for them to fight by the side of our tribe.
>>
>>21521392
The only problem with that is that it's the hight of dishonour.
>>
>>21521392
If it was up to me we would have been emperors of the lands from the mountain to the sea long ago. Of course we would rely on an enormous undead workforce and strange blood magic and sacrifices, but it would work.
>>
>>21521392
To be honest: If we didn't take the more or less honourable path in this game, I'd liked that idea.
>>
>>21521426
You would MAKE it work.
>>
>>21521451
Oh god, I need to shut up before I put any more bad idea's in your guys heads.
>>
>>21521476
Too late for that now... So how about some necromancy now?

Just kidding, for this run of the game I prefer being honorabru.
>>
>>21521457
Also we would be ruled by a corpse lord, the resurrected carcass of Trym Godslayer, a lich of great and terrible power.

Blood harvest, horrible inbred slave races, monsters created of bone and bile and blood.
>>
>>21521543
Your dream empire appears to have a single point of failure.
>>
>>21521573
What? That all of you have way too much honor.
>>
>>21521588
No, the part about being rule by A corpse lord. The rest of the empire being slaves and bound undead.
>>
>>21521613
Why? Works for the empire of mankind. Heya!
>>
>>21521644
For a certain definition of works, I suppose.
>>
>>21521613
There would be a ruling caste of powerful sentient undead, including vampires, werewolves, litchis, and what not.
>>
>>21521730
I know it's just a typo, but I would pay good money to see an empire run by a ruling cast of lychee lords.

>>
>>21521829
> Oh god I take a while to eat and this de-rails harder than... Some analogy that escapes me right now. Back on track!

The Lion shaman questions Mikuhla quite thoroughly, before he is at last satisfied. "If these Sun People seek to make our gods bow, they will first have to break our pride," puns the shaman, "We know not what they would make of us, but if they seek make our gods bow and scrape, they will like as not seek the same for us. This, we will not abide. If they want to take from us, they have to prove their strength is greater than ours. This is how it has always been and always shall be: The strong do as they please and the weak are forced to bow to their whims."

The festival then enters full swing and any hope of further negotiating is lost amid a torrent of alcohol, music, dance, competition and high spirits. The tribes return home when the festivities are over, after four days of partying. If nothing else, the celebration certainly raised the mood of everyone involved!

DANGER! FOOD SUPPLIES LOW!

Action Points: THREE

A) Send out scouts (specify direction)
B) Send some hunters out to hunt game and catch fish
C) Gather resources (not food)
D) Gather wild food in the forest
E) Have your wise ones try to solve a problem
F) Hold a cultural event (specify)
G) Craft specific objects
H) Send envoys to another tribe
I) Other
J) Ask the elders for advice (No cost)
>>
>>21522257
B) The deer herd is getting better, looks like it's time to kill them.
G) We have a lot of wood and metal now, begin the mass production of weaponry and shields and armor. We will continue this until we have enough to outfit our entire fighting force (I'm prepared for 4-5 turns of this)
G) Begin to craft mobile shrines to our gods.
>>
>>21522257
I) Gather some Mother Fucking Food for our bitches,

G) Go craft some Mother Fucking Weapons for our other bitches

E) Have the wise ones look in to taking the gods on the road with us, so their power will be stronger when we battle.


Also, SPEAK TO FUCKING DERRIK MOONBORNE THE WILDSAGE OF HRUNTI, I WANT TO RIDE DIREWOLVES DAMMIT
>>
>>21522257
H) Go talk to the Earthsplitters about the zealots
C) Go get some more deer for the pen. Not sure if we ever did that, feel like now is as good a time as ever.
and I) I had an idea- do our people really have jobs? We assign them to tasks, sure, but after they're done, do they keep at that task? Like, farming, mining, etc. Because if that's what they're doing, then no wonder we're running out of food, people are just sitting around eating as much as they like instead of working to produce more. It seems to me a good way to increase order would be to apply some kind of earn your bread system. Any thoughts?
>>
>>21522353
Oh yes, I add to my list contacting our resident Wildsage.
>>
>>21522257

B. Just catch some fish. No deer.
G. Them arms and armor.
E. Have the elders look into solutions to motivate or encourage our citizens to train for the defense of our tribe.
>>
>>21522393
One of the jobs could be guards, that way we'd have a fighting force for war, a defense system for enemy attack, and a police system to keep the peace internally.
>>
>>21522406
Not going to lie, we seriously need to improve on our government some time soon. Our last attempt to train our people as semi-decent warriors was lackluster at best.
>>
>>21522469
A chief needs to be elected sooner or later. By now, just about every tribe has caught onto that, I know we want a multiparty decision making system, but a chief wouldn't take that away if we didn't want it too, it would just make sure that a final order was given, and carried out as it was given. If warriors are ordered to train, then they fucking show up and jog up and down the river until they can go from end to end faster than fucking Chani.
>>
>>21522571
Perhaps if the conclusion of our improvised tribal council functioned as an order rather than a suggestion? Let's try to make the rhetorical Roman republic!
>>
>>21522257
B) Fishing time. Let the deer recover more, the River Brothers would not be pleased if we start hunting again already. But maybe catch some of them in pens?
G) Armor and Arms
G) Mobile shrines.
>>
>>21522610
How would we enforce the order? I've given my ideas, are they're any you'r thinking of?
>>
>>21522638
People who do not follow the councils orders will receive shortened food rations.
>>
>>21522638
How do you think ancient governments treated insubordination. Just think of Socrates.
>>
>>21522649
What's to keep them from just taking it?

Captcha giving hints: Law mempril
>>
>>21522696
The devouts, they're our fighting force.
>>
>>21522696
Yea, I think this could turn into a military regime quite quickly.

How about we increase farming output and maybe look into those fishing traps (i forgot the english name for it) to get some constant food influx?
>>
>>21522724
That's a good idea. They are the elite fighters of our tribe, and outside of war, they're mostly useless. Let them enforce the orders and laws, and allow their training to be put to use. They'll be faithful to the tribe, as the are faithful to Groza, who favors our tribe.
>>
>>21522730
Compromise then: formal establishment of a council/senate rather than the ad hoc arrangement we have now. It would imply prestige and give weight to decisions without it issuing absolute orders.
>>
>>21522730
Every Police state has police, but not every state with police is a police state. We just need a force to keep the peace.
>>
>>21522730
Like I suggested last thread, we should set up some sort of civic duty type deal where everybody is required to maintain at least some training in regards to combat for the times of war. Most of the rest of their time is spent doing whatever they normally do. Just like the Romans originally did it.

I like this. Having duty and honour as cultural values would be enormously helpful to the establishment of a strong, enduring civilization.

>>21522809
Would this be akin to the draft? Because we'll be sending our fighting force off to fight, not just defend like last time. Is sending our farmers and craftsmen off a safe idea?

You're right guys. Was just worried about our elite fighters guarding the food storage and everyone having to earn their food stamps...

Still, then we'd need people to supervise and decide who gets a full belly...

But I'm fine with the council and the idea of a police force in general.

If we could arrange a family member from each of the main families to hold a constant position on a formal council, we might not need a chief.
>>
>>21522881
We have the head of each of the clans pass out food to the members of their own clans and the different clan heads audit each other on their distribution.
>>
>>21522866
Think of it more as a militia. Get called up, serve for a short while, go back to farming. We won't have a professional fighting force outside of Grozas Devout but it would provide us with a decently trained , quickly assembled force of fighters.

> TIP: When you really need something done, assign a hero to it.

A good number of the villagers take to the river with fish spears, in the hopes of catching enough to offset the worrying shortage of food. Sadly, while the catch is nothing to complain about, it is simply not enough to provoke great celebration amongst the tribe.

The gathered copper is put to good use, producing arms and armour for the tribe. All of Groza's Devouts now carry heavy, copper-tipped spears, as well as several sporting coats of clashing copper scales. The rest of the tribe also sees widespread use of copper weapons, although armour is still almost unknown among them and some still make do with Stone weapons. The simple fact of the matter is that there is too many people to outfit so simply.

Hitting upon an interesting idea, some of the village craftsmen take it upon themselves to construct a small altar and roof on top of a new cart, before one of them takes a log and starts to carve it into the image of one of the gods! There's a little confusion at first, but once everyone works out what it is, a portable shrine is generally agreed to be a pretty smart idea!

I'm still worried about having the people we depend on to produce our most important commodities sent out onto the battlefield.
>>
>>21522918
Yea, council sounds good. But soon this thread will go all politics and backstabbing, I foresee.

>>21522951
Hmm, still sounds like an awful lot of beaurocracy. Might make more sense to just deny food or give tiny rations to the lazy bums, not calculate ALL rations.
>>
>>21522976
Alright, Groza vs. Chani, who we going with?
>>
>>21522993
People who have the most to lose tend to fight the hardest to keep it. As I said, Rome. Went from a tiny village to one of the greatest empires on earth using that same system.
>>
>>21522976
Groza will be the first mobile shrine.
>>
>>21522993
That problem could still be lessened, if we convince the river brothers to care for our food in times of war, so those sissy pacifists can have their will and stay home.

>>21523016
I'd suppose Chani, her shaman's chanting helped us quite a bit in battles already. Though we will probably make another one soon, anyway.
>>
>>21523052
Groza is war god, and if the Earthsplitters come we will have two tribes who worship on our side for the battle. I think he is more prudent.
>>
>>21523016
Groza, man. No question. We're taking that portable alter to war lol.
>>
>>21523052
Yea but the one we make it too first might be more impressed, and give us some kind of even better boost when we use it to call upon them. That my logic, and because of that, I'm siding with Groza. Chani seems overworked enough as it is, the prospect of another duty might just piss her off.
>>
Well, I bow to you. Groza it is, then.
>>
The craftsman carves the log into a crude effigy of Groza, the small, wooden statute taking pride of place in the middle of the shrine, showing the god, holding his spear by his side. Gerin is greatly pleased with the shrine and confirms that Groza is pleased by it too.

> Good Christ, I really hate to leave it here tonight folks, but I'm falling asleep already.

I have had FAR too many late nights lately and I need to be up at a reasonable time tomorrow, for the Remembrance Day service (Veterans Day, to you Americans). I don't observe religious holidays much, but this is one service i always attend and I don't want to fall asleep halfway through. So I'll have to catch all you guys next time!

The next thread will be on TUESDAY, at 1600EST. Gameplay will start at 1630EST. I hope to see you all there! Have a good weekend, stay safe and kindly observe the silence on the 11th; it's the least we can do.

I still need help with graphics for the battle, should one ever occur (it's looking more and more likely). If any of you want to help me out, shoot me an email. I'll leave my contact details here again.

Nice thread tonight Britfag. See ya at the next one.
>>
>>21523368
Battles are my forte; I'll help in anyway I am able.
>>
I have a theory guise, about what Britfag actually does.


I think that Britfag is a high ranking British politician.

It explains so many things, and so clearly.
