History of the World 2.2 - V (Cuz 2 just wasn't big enough)
I would be glad for Vice-Chancellor to return to the helm. However I believe Capo told me a week ago he wanted me to sub this week. I'll have to wait to hear what he has to say. If he needs me then i promised him and i'll lead the EU, if not then i'd gladly take over the Israelis.
Truthfully I'm pulling for you Raspy and would prefer being the boyz in blue.
Well ok then if he got in first, as per my post above i want a change of day this week.
and if my plans are fulfilled soon it wont make any differince if you paly EU or WAAR... The boys of the white and blue shall be victorious !!!!!

Sorry about my latest OOC outbursts and the fact that I haven't said much as far as my availability goes. But que sera sera.
Anyway, as of right now I have every intention of playing this week, thus Ozzy can take over WAAR again.
Its around 10:19, what I'm gonna actually do now is fix the damn modpack so it f*ckin works instead of screwing everything up. It will work superbly, you guys will think I'm a beast or something. I promise...
Now for stories!
"Our cause is in the hands of fate. We can not guarantee success. But we can do something better; we can deserve it." -John Adams
Gustav looked at his watch 'only ten minutes' he thought to himself, slowly screwing the silencer onto his gun. He slowly began approaching the front of the stairs, with no boots on, quietly making his way up the stairs...
"So, the first speaker we have today is General Busconi. General." said Franco as he backed away from the podium.
General Busconi was a very old man, but he was large an had strong facial features, a very respectable man. He approached the podium and cleared his throat "Fellow soldiers, leaders, and Europeans. The issue at hand is very important to our nation, to the future of the world, and more importantly to the unification of the Western nations into a strong coalition. It is no secret in the world of global affairs that our area of the world, known as the Western World has been racked for centuries with war and struggle. Ever since the dawn of time, the first written records showed that the Euro-Israeli alliance was nearly at war with a Pan-African movement. Ever since that day there has never been a dull moment in our part of the world. Finally this trend is doing a one-eighty; the nations of the West are looking towards a mutual understanding. One that will provide our people with peace and prosperity, one that will ensure perpetual respect and cooperation between our Western brothers, and one that may lead to peace throughout the world. Heh, usually it isn't a good thing when your job becomes obsolete, but if I had to become unemployed this is how I'd like it to occur." he said, the assembly laughed "But in all seriousness, the new plans for a Western Coalition, even one that didn't include any type of military machine, are probably the best thing that could happen to Europe and to all nations in the West. I whole-heartedly support it. But what I am here to announce is not the fact that Western unity is becoming closer than ever, I'm sure our distinguished assembly is already quite aware. What I am hear to announce is a new alliance, a new pact. This will be formed out of military cooperation and political respect."
Mina looked down at her watch, she began to worry, the time was growing nearer. She leaned over towards the Prime Minister "I have to use the restroom." He simply smiled and nodded.
"The Western Asian and American Republic, also known as WAAR have agreed to terms with the European Union. We shall form a military alliance. Combined with our allies in the Zulu Federation this triple entente will be quite the force to be reconed with." General Busconi continued...
Gustav crept quietly against the wall, he was only a few feet before the door that held the Russians. 'Just turn and fire Gustav' he said to himself 'Remember your training.' He inched his way towards the enterance, let out a short breath and turned, firing directly at the two Russians, they fell to the ground immedeatly, he had remembered his marksmanship. Just then the door downstairs shut. He quickly ran into the room and hid behind a desk. Footsteps could be heared coming up the stairs, Gustav held his breath so as not to make a sound...
"Other nations may consider this announcement a threat to their power and stability, this is not the case. This should be seen as a sign of things to come, a sign of mutual respect and peace in the West. Only the Mali Nation stands alone in the West, political moves shall be made in that direction as well. When the West finally becomes united, we can further our own goals. We can open up avenues of trade, scientific cooperation the likes of which humankind has yet to see, new roads connecting the mighty metropolises of the West, and the establishment of strong militaries to protect our interests. Of all the things the West has seen, only war will take an exit. Now begins the era of peace in the Western world. Thank you." finished the General, the assembly stood up and clapped.
DeGaulle turned to MP Winston Churchill "A fine speech, we should send a dignitary to Mali as soon as possible, we need to make sure they don't issue a statement denying a Western Coalition, not until we've spoken to them. It wouldn't be good, perceptions would be negative."
"Agreed." Said Churchill, nodding as he clapped...
The footsteps grew louder and closer as Igor came into the doorway "Dimitri I-" he was silenced by the sight of his fallen comrades, he dropped a brown paper bag, a loud thud was heared as it hit the floor. He looked stunned and pulled out a firearm, looking around the room. Gustav quickly rose up and fired three shots into his chest, he quickly hit the ground dead...
"Excuse me ma'am." said a Protection Agent.
"Yes?" said Mina, puffing her cigarette.
"Would you come with me please?" he said, gently grabbing her arm...
After a ten minute car ride they arrived at a tall glass office building, it was unmarked. As they entered the foyer there were two armed Eurokorps soldiers, who checked the identification card of the Agent, they allowed him through with no discussion. He escorted her towards the elevator, to the eleventh floor, and then to a room at the end of the hall, there were no numbers on this door. The Agent knocked three times and said "Agent Powlus."
The door opened, there was only a table and a single light hanging from the ceiling, sitting on the other side of the table were three men she'd never seen in her life and Prime Minister DeGaulle. "Charlie what's going on?"
"Sit down Claudia." he said.
"My name is Mina, I don't-"
"Sit down." he repeated, she listened. He then tossed a manilla folder onto the table "Open it." he said.
Again she listened, opening it up to reveal her photo and a full report, as well as her birth certificate. Claudia Pochenko, a Ukrainian girl from Porta Donua. "I don't, what is this? It must be some sort of joke."
"That's funny, I see nobody laughing." said the Prime Minister.
"Charlie, please, this is ridiculous." she said.
"Actually, what's ridiculous is the complete lack of loyalty you Communists have. Your friends Igor and Dimitri have already told us about your safehouses in Russia, Finland and Poland. Not only that but they're willing to testify against you as well, they'll be let go of course, we've got all the information we need. Boys, get her out of my sight." he said as he stood up, she tried to get up as well but the agents held her in her seat.
"Charlie, no, they don't know, they're lying!" she cried.
"We'll find out soon enough, I have men on their way there now, you're going to jail anyway." he said as he began to leave.
"I swear, if they told you anything its an ambush, Dimitri is second in command to Lenin, he'd never give up the safehouses, I swear. I'll tell you! Please, you have to believe me." she said.
"Why would I believe some Ukrainian whore? Huh?" he replied.
"Please, you have to believe me, I'll tell you all of the safehouses, you can even test me, there's one here in Stockholm, its an old abandoned building. They were going to bomb the Joint Cheif's meeting today, but I assume you've already found out about it?" she said.
"Yes, well alright give me the address..."
Ten Minutes Later...
"Sir, agent Gustav Adolphus is on the phone." said one of his staff members. He quickly grabbed the phone.
"Have they been disposed of?" asked Prime Minister DeGaulle.
"Yes sir, everything has been taken care of. I'll see you in Berlin."
"Thank you, have a wonderful evening." he replied.
"You know I will, goodbye sir..."

To really get back into this game, but our group has gone through a lot of sh1t and I have no doubt this game will go on.
What we need to do is determine whos still with us.
*Raz says he cant play this week - do we have a sub?
*Dangime couldnt play last session due to connection problems and expressed his frustration- will he play this week?
*I'm not sure about Capo
*I think Belinda is up for this week as well as Deity, Pro and I
So if anyone reads this, please "check in"........
It's going to take <i>real</i> effort to keep this game going, so we need to know whos with it or not.
I'll be on Thursday evening, hope to see the regulars.
I see the world through bloodshot eyes
Streets filled with blood from distant lies.
looks like I'm okay for this Thurs.
looks like capo in in! looks like theOZman can sub for Raz
looks like Drake is up for it
assuming Mongols and Chinese are accounted for and
Deity can actually log on this week, we might have a game!
The question then becomes -- who will host? Because as you recall, last successful host we had was Raz!
oh, and if the new and improved beastMaster-modpack is modified again, I assume I got to have that inplace before Thurs. nite? lol (just teasing you, capo -- you know I think you a beast anyhow )

The officer ran into the office of his superios with out knocking, a very unusal occurance and so his superiour knew immedialty there was something big happening.
"What is it Corporal? " Asked Major General Will Gangle, leader of the Armed forces in Texas.
"The Rebels have attqacked sir, they have got mass support and have set fire to the toen hall and the library, this is occuring across all of the Ameircas." he panted out. " Sir you must call out the troops"
"Yes yes corporal, return to your post and I wqil lreport in"
"Aye Sir"
The young corporla about facxed and left the office, as soon as he was gone Will smiled and relaxed. It was finally occuring he thought to himslef. So much planning and now freedom for his people. For he too was an American at heart and detested the foul leadership of the Rheich Chancellor. He lent over and picked up his secret radio and dialed the appropiate frequency then used his call sign to identify himself
"Wild Cat Wild Cat this is Sabre Tooth"
After a short delay of static he got his reply
"Go ahead Sabre Tooth this is Wild cat"
"Wild Cat, The Eagle has landed, I repeat , the Eagle has landed"
More static then a reply.
"Sabre tooth you are instructed to go for Gold !!! Repeat go for Gold"
"Roger Wild Cat going for Gold". He switched of the radio and smiled again, ahhh freedom he lvoed the mere sound of it.
GM of MAFIA #40 ,#41, #43, #45,#47,#49-#51,#53-#58,#61,#68,#70, #71
"Roberto, Sabre tooth has been ordered to Go for Gold. Hopefully the operation will be complete by the morning."
"Ahh good " said Roberto Auldinsky, the secret head of the American Rebels. " All i need now is to hear from Madam Sarah in Jeruslam and Operation Caged Cat will be complete."
"She is standing by to make her speech imedaitly the Cat is Caged sir"
"Good good, Freedom will be ours this time tomorrow Frank."
"Yes Roberto finally after all these years.."

Alright, I'm sorry about the whole "not being around thing." But I've had a lot to handle lately, between volunteer work here in DC and the whole Marine thing I've been pretty busy. I may not join the Marines due to some recent information I have recieved about how long everything will take before I am "full-fledged" and the fact that my signifigant other doesn't want me to join. But I am still pretty much decided that this is where I want to go with my life.
But it shouldn't effect this game at all, that is taking into consideration that guess-timated time it will take to finish.
I am going to make the modpack tonight, it will be fixed perfectly and I intend on making this a masterpeice to make up for everything I've done and haven't done throughout the course of this game.
As of right now all national flags and names will be the same as the original 2.2 except for the Israelis will now be known as WAAR and their flag will be very different. So Raz we'll see how much you like it.
Anyway I gotta go to class right now. Everyone take care of yourselves, and as a member of the "political scene" (I am giving myself major credit here obviously) I want all of you Yanks to know that this struggle is going to take years, if we want to end this menace we have to obliterate it, removing the leader won't work in this case.
Alright, peace.

actually, capo, you bear a striking resemblence to my youngest brother, the rocket scientist (ok, we just call him that: he's a mech engineer at NASA)
but since you're all in the political scene, tell those guys we need a new kinda warfare....cause anything we've done before ain't gonna get it; if they try to take Afghanistan by ground probably make Nam look like a picnic in the park (ask the Russians)and grid-bombing the whole dang place sounds really expensive (satisfying though).
they should go for the money first. I mean, cut ol' Osmama off the trust fund and see how good he does.
I'll be checking here and on ICQ Thurs. afternoon looking for modpack info so I don't be behind. See y'all then
Newly Elected President Sarah Ben-Judah addresses the somber crowd of officials and people gathered outside the capitol building in Israel.
Ben-Judah- This is a dark, dark day in the history of our nation. A day that will live in infamy. Our nation was delibretly attacked by the nation of Mali with no declaration of war or prior notice. In fact our nations were entirely at peace. The ruthless Mali with no provocation whatsoever massacred two entire cities in their destructive path before finally capturing the Israeli city of Egypt. In total 20 divisions of Israel's best troops were destroyed in this dastardly surprise attack. Two cities lay in rubble and one captured.
People- We demand Justice! They must pay!
Ben-Judah- Please everyone calm down. Our troops who were recalled from their peaceful footing and sent to secure our borders once more. The Mali nation lost cities all along their northern coast. Our superior troops easily crushed the Mali rabble, we could have gone further but we stopped and asked for peace. The Mali refused.
Ben-Judah- Two more cities in the South were taken and again we asked for peace. All nations of the world gathered in China to conduct peace deliberations. Our only goal was to secure our own peace and security, their goal was war and conquest. After listening to both sides the neutral China drafted a very fair peace proposal. While not exactly what we wanted WAAR made a compromise and agreed to the terms, we proved we were willing to forgo much for peace. The Mali refused the treaty. They were intent on nothing short of total war.
Israel listened to the world. The world said stop! Remove your troops! Israel listened. Israel removed her troops so peace could be discussed. After Israeli troops had been removed the Zulu made demands for Israeli territory. After refusing a fair and equitable peace agreement the Zulu had the nerve to demand more land. We refused and they too attacked without provocation.
The People- Those evil people! A Jihad on them! Death to all Africans!!
Ben-Judah- After being twice attacked for no reason. After despirate pleas to the world for peace going unanswered. After the world silently watched countless abuses of international treaties it was time to say enough. Nothing Israel did, nothing we proposed was sufficient. The Zulu and Mali were intent on war and nothing else, so we gave them what they wanted.
All out war.
The People- Hooray!!!!! Revenge!!!!!
