Re: Of Emperors and Presidents IC
I am moving tomorrow, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to check in again until Monday. My orders are in for today, can we hold off on builds and retreats if i have them until Monday?
I will try to check in on Saturday, but I am uncertain that I will be able to. Please let me know. Thank you.

Re: Of Emperors and Presidents IC
Oh, yeah, and:
TWO AND A HALF hour warning for orders but not really. Please get them in ASAP though. Sorry I didn't post the 24-hour warning, there are a few wildfires around where I live and I was temporarily evacuated. Back at my house now though.

Re: Of Emperors and Presidents IC
Thanksgiving Feast
This month the citizens of the United States of America are celebrating Thanksgiving, and have requested a few key imports from Europe. However, the Italian king, being only half-fluent in English, seems to have misinterpreted the Americans' words, and launched an amphibious assault on the noble Ottoman Empire, known, tragically, in some circles, as "Turkey."Last edited by karmuno; 2007-10-25 at 08:46 PM.

Re: Of Emperors and Presidents IC
Italians Experience Natural Empire Enhancement
With the acquisitions this year of Marseilles, Morocco, Baghdad and Smyrna, the Italians have stunned even Italian leaders. To quote our majesty King Vittorio the Wise, "I am truly impressed by stature of the empire my generals have managed to erect. I am speechless. The whole thing is almost a little hard to swallow."
Italian Admirals Scramble to Find Records of Japanese Invitation to Atlantic Yacht Club, Find Nothing
"Well, we probably just lost it, but without an invitation to the Atlantic on record we're just going to have to blow any Japanese boats we spot in the Atlantic right out of the water."
Ironically, No Rest for the Ottoman Empire
As a result of Austrian, Indian, and Italian involvement this season, the Ottoman Empire has lost nearly all its footing.
It's A Race for Last!
Who will it be? England? Turkey? Or maybe Russia, France? Only time will tell!Last edited by Moody the Wise; 2007-10-25 at 09:03 PM.

Re: Of Emperors and Presidents IC
Italian News and World Report's Annual Ranking of World Powers!
1. Italy with 12 supply centers. As King Vittorio's plan for African colonization comes to completion, the Italian Empire now controls vast amounts of land from French Marseilles to Ottoman Baghdad as well as all of Africa.
2. China with 11 supply centers. The "Middle Kingdom"? Soon China will have to be called the Upper and Lower Kingdoms as well! Can anyone stop the Chinese juggernaut?
3. Germany with 10 supply centers. Taking advantage of disagreements between the English and French - disagreements that were most probably fabricated by the Kaiser himself - Germany has benefited from both countries and now maintains a vast land empire that extends from Paris to Norway.
4. Japan with 9 supply centers. Japan has ridden on the coattails of Chinese success in order to form its naval empire stretching from the island of Java to the city of Vladivostok, and now at the bidding of the Chinese hurry East to attempt a foolish takeover of the Atlantic while the Chinese profit from their war with India.
5. Austria with 8 supply centers. Austria has risen from the ashes by waving a dagger at anyone who comes near him. Having driven the Russians and the Ottomans out of his land, he now stands poised to make a real bid for expansion.
6. India with 6 supply centers. India has valiantly resisted the advance of the less civilized Asian states, but her Western allies fear for India's welfare as the country slips into the bottom half of this ranking.
7. France with 5 supply centers. We're just surprised France isn't gone already. Oh well, it won't be too much longer yet.
8. Russia with 4 supply centers. They came, they saw, they got conquered. They're down, but not quite out. Perhaps the great bear can pull something off here.
9. England and Turkey with 3 supply centers each. Not much to say there. Except ... mmmm ... Turkey. =)Ramm in Lords of the Elements

Re: Of Emperors and Presidents IC
Japanese War Ministry Flustered Over Italian Claim of European Conquest
"Europe smells!" Minister of War Terauchi Masatake, newly appointed after Kodama Gentaro.
"Anyone who thinks we even want to go Near Europe is well, retarded! You are fat, pimply, and pale. Who wants to rule over people who look like that? And you hang people for goodness sake. Since when did decapitation via sword stroke go out of style. No we're just fine in asia."
"And you're empire being big?" continues to scoff Masatake. "Listen, ours may not be as large, but we know what to do with it. Our Japanese people are kept happy by our slow, steady growth. Not this sudden enlargement. Our generals have been planning for weeks. Changing positions, trying new techniques, doing everything possible to make sure that both the government and the people are satisfied over and over again. The Italians seem to think that a big Empire that suddenly spurts quickly and can't keep going is somehow better than endurance. The best it's leaders will be able to do is say 'Okay we're done' roll over in it's new found territories and go to bed, leaving the people alone to figure out how to make themselves happy."Last edited by Elder_Kin; 2007-10-26 at 09:15 AM.

Re: Of Emperors and Presidents IC
Indeed only three sc with 5 units. Two disbands needed.
Lets look at the Disband lists!
1. England, Turkey and India are tied for first with 2 disbands each! Excellent job for keeping the lead!
4. France and Russia are tied for fourth with 1 disband. Work a bit harder and you might catch up with the big boys! Only time will tell how fast you can lose your SCs!!
5. Austria is in fifth with -1 disbands. Guess having an excess of territories doesn't help you in this category!
6. Japan, China, and Germany sit at 6th with -2 disbands. That's horrible guys! You need to improve that score.
7. Italy has possibly, the worst number of disbands imaginable -4 disbands. I really can't say any more about the Italians. -4 disbands is horrendous, they really need to start losing some territories or they're going to be last place on the disbands list forever!Last edited by Elder_Kin; 2007-10-26 at 09:14 AM.

Re: Of Emperors and Presidents IC
China Sees No Need to Brag
In contrast to a certain unnamed European power, China does not need to trumpet its success across the world said charge d'affairs Han Xiang Zi in a statement today. "The Chinese people are confident that our success can speak for itself. We don't need to overcompensate by issuing gauche press statements."
China Warns Against Italian Involvement in the Far East
In response to the recent movement of Italian forces into the Middle East, China has declared that any Italian movement further east into the Indian Ocean or the Asian mainland will be viewed as an act of war against the Chinese people.
China Expresses Sympathy for the British
The Chinese government has been in contact with the British to devise a strategy to protect their remaining interests from aggression. The Chinese would like to comfort them with the fact that even if their efforts are doomed to fail, at least the French that treacherously attacked them and left Italy and Germany complete dominance over Western Europe will precede them.Last edited by Elektro; 2007-10-26 at 10:39 PM.

Chinese Aren't Fooling Anyone
Though the Chinese eagerly broadcast through any media available that their successes speak for themselves, the lies that they don't publish are more blatant still. Their successes, we can exclusively reveal, come from deception and treachery. Any local powers would do well to keep a wary eye or, better still, a wary army, on the ChineseIt says signature, but when I tried to sign my name, I just got pen on my computer screen.

Re: Of Emperors and Presidents IC
If you did feel like being merciful and letting me have builds. . . um i would like an army in Munich and a fleet in Kie.
I'd like to say that these would not be based on others builds, but since i have seen the map I can not guarantee that they are. I would like to think so though.
Just Thought I would put it out there.
Also . . .
Ovaltine still Hated
Despite French claims, German officials claim that Kaiser Vexen still has an undying hate of Ovaltine. Won't touch the stuff. As for joining the alleged Axis of Evil, the Kaiser's response was brief. "I thought the club had a cooler name than that, it doesn't matter anyways they won't let me in without those stupid proofs of purchase." When asked for the reason for the Paris invasion, the kaiser replied that after the break in Belgium to try some waffles, the troops have been begging to try some authentic Crepes.
German populace is a little nervous that Military decisions are being made on a basis of breakfast foods.
