>>The World Today<< Official PBEM Playtest

[yop73]

Again, Jim, I gotta point out the fact that YOU SHOULD REALLY MAKE THOSE ROGUE-STATES ALOT MORE POWERFUL. Even the AI can capture them all within 2 turns.
Also, create more rebels by event in the middle-east, in Afghanistan and also in North-Korea.

[jim panse]

Aren´t they are strong enough?

I have to confess i that i haven´t played it against the AI right now due to my university efforts this week. i postponed nearly all of the work to the last 3 days and now i´ve got a bunch of work to do.

but that doesn´t matter. that´s why we are playing a test. i will have a look on it. maybe tomorrow or wednesday.

President George W. Bush continues his eradication of all terrorist cells throughout the world and even in America. In the month of September, America was able to destroy many terrorist cells in the Middle East.

Saddam Hussein has been overthrown and Iraq is currently under American control. After interrogating Iraqi prisoners, it was understood that Iran helped Iraq in the war against America, and by harboring terrorists. The Middle East is almost completely subdued now after the systematic military operations carried out.

Fidel Castro has also died, reportedly of choking on a cigar. Immediately after hearing this, American troops entered the Cuban capital of Havana (spelled Havanna in the Scenario) and rid all of Castro's supporters. Havana, and in turn all of Cuba, is now under American control.

George W. Bush is also asking the Muslim nations to give complete control of the Suez canal to America by giving the city of Suez to America. We do not wish to fight a war agaisnt the Muslim nations, but we are poised to demand Suez if the Muslim nations will not permit this.

America is also asking the Neutral Nations for the return of control of the Panama Canal. We will not go to war over the Panama Canal but we emphatically ask for control of the city.

Cities taken this month:
Mosul, Baghdad, Al Basrah, Esfahan, Tehran, Kerman, Havana

Just a thought about the scenario...

Those rebel states need to be stronger or the American player can defeat them immediately without much thought.

Also, I think Israel should be controlled by America.

ok, let´s see. i´m quite busy due to my university studies but i modified the rules.txt and made the Rebels stronger. tell me if they are still too weak.

Muslim leader Kutusin-al-Valukh has announced the renewal of the Great Muslim Caliphate and has asked Americans and Neutrals to withdraw from Iraq, where a new seat of Government shall be made for the young Caliph.
Also, he has declared Iran as part of the Caliphate and will tolerate no foreign action there.

Wait a minute!!!!
US:
Who did give you the authority to begin this "war on terror" campaign? How many states are you planning to conquer in the name of "freedom"?

China proposes the creation of a UN Security Council to prevent future unilateral actions like the ones made my the USA.
Please, we urge you to take this proposal into account. For the good of the world

George W. Bush is also asking the Muslim nations to give complete control of the Suez canal to America by giving the city of Suez to America. We do not wish to fight a war agaisnt the Muslim nations, but we are poised to demand Suez if the Muslim nations will not permit this.

What´s this? George Bush: Are you insane?
The Suez Canal is part of Egypt. What are you trying to do?

One more time:
One thing is fighting agaisnt Terrorism... but demanding cities like Suez or Panama??? Capturing Havana?

[FiGu]

The Russian president Vladimir Putin wants USA to stop demanding Territory.
Suez is rightfully to Egypt. And Panama is totally Neutral!

[Pavlov]

The Neutral Nations denies the American request, Panama is neutral and shall so remain.

Academia, your turn now.

China would like to begin negotiations with President Pavlov of the Neutral Nations about Taiwan.
China considers this island part of our millenary country.
We are willing to follow all the required steps to accomplish this objective.

I hope President Pavlov and the global community understand our claims.
Last decade modifications in our communist system towards a new "socialist capitalism" are the proof of our good intentions.

I await your answer...

[Valuk]

Caliph al-Valukh agrees with the neutrals' policy of restrainig America and proposes a "third world" alliance of free nations.

[Pavlov]

President Pavlov is more than willing to discuss the Taiwan-issue with China. (Wow, deja vú )

However first the question has to be discussed in the Taiwanese parliament. (ooc: Just going to think about it for a while)

[Henrik]

Having downloaded the scenario I have a question or two...
Why is Norway part of the EU in this scenario? They certainly aren't in reality.

Also for some reason the european union starts with a unit in Kanggye, a city which they don't own in the first place...

Great News!
I´ve received russian support to the UN Security Council.

Europe, USA, India, Neutral Nations, Muslim World... are you interested?
