A catalog of what is being said. It should be kept to a minimum. The goal is to give ND some good information through public channels a few times and hope that gives us one shot to mislead them at a critical juncture. Eventually to get them to load up Transports to hit us the turn before we hit them.

Go for it.

The only thing better than ND loading up their Transports to hit us with, is ND loading up their Transports to hit RP with.

Does he have any idea that we want ND to get themselves on their boats to come to Stormia? He seems to be trying to provoke it.

He knows, yes. I warned him in a PM (it's in the log, if you're interested)

While I would welcome ND coming for us, they shouldn't hurry too much... we have to be ready to invade them of course!

Nah, the best thing of all would be that ND and GoW get into a fight

GS has wanted to go to war for a long time now. Or at least I have. It's really boring moving all those MI and Tanks back and forth with nothing screaming out in agongy from under their treads. Gun barrels silent, instead of pounding out the notes to a triumphant death march, brings sadness to my heart.

The recent election that saw 1/6th of the Stormian population support the appointing of a new ruler...eh, leader... has issued a clear mandate. We will not stand for peace and fuzzie-cuddleness! The reasons for this are quite clear. We want to sink ships, lay waste to towns and cities, and, maybe even do other mean and evil stuff if time allows.

So, to ND, our new partner in bloody conflict, we give thanks for the throrough butt-kicking we are about to give and/or receive. Cheers!

Good stuff, Aeson

Just for the record, I would have hoped that Togas would have been just as 'roleplaying' in his battle report.. he is a bit over reacting I fear.

Let the fun begin. Yes Togas would have been better served to just make light of the situation. I understand his frustration, but now you look bad and gin nothing.

[DeepO]

Good post in public, BTW. Makes you think what would happen: surely ND is going to invade us, or they are racing towards nukes and want to destroy us first. Only... are they going to invade us now, or wait a few more turns. They know they've got at least 5 turns left before we can build a nuke.

Bumper Pumpkin Crop!
GS all-in Patches.


The great Pumpkin Patch as photographed from high altitude weather balloon.

Monsoon, GS (OrangeNews) - "Blessings from the Heavens" sounds the call of the NW Stormian Farmer's Association. Just a few weeks ago their membership had met to discuss the impact of the recent frosty weather crossing the channel from Bob. Now, thanks to extreme increases in temperatures, not only will the harvest be saved, but has come 6 months early!

What meteorologists are now calling "Mushroom Storms" have been popping up across the countryside. At first, their impact was horrific. All folliage and structures were destroyed by their wrath. But in their wake a huge pumpkin patch has been left behind, spreading at an unprecidented rate. Halloween and Thanksgiving have been tentatively re-schedualed for June 11th and July 3rd respectively. As NYE, the Minister of Hollidays and Firearms, noted at a recent press conference, "If we wait any longer than that, these jack's won't be welcoming our kids to strangers doorsteps, or making very good pies either." Then NYE, brandishing an AK-47 and wearing a vintage President Barclay mask, continued, "Trick or Treat?" After learning that no candy was to be had, the esteemed minister graciously accepted purses and wallets in leu of sugary treats from the gathered reporters.

Things aren't all rosey (or more precisely, orangey) in the NW though. Reports are filtering in of strange abnormalities since the mushroom storms first hit. Most of the locals complain of high pitched wailing emminating from the patches at night. One of our camera men claims a rogue pumpkin tried "humping my leg". And a boy in tattered rags, crying on a street-corner, wails, "Papa, they ate my Papa!"

President Aeson, having been last seen leaving a Software Ect. with a new copy of Everquest, has yet to make a public address on the issue. Orange House staff have been firm on their "The President is currently unavailable for comment" stance, but our sources say he is "Camping Vox". Citizens of GS are all very worried that Aeson may have fled the country. "We are working to extradict the President from Vox. He must pay for his crimes against our people!" says DeepO, Governor of Hurricane. "There is widespread suspicion that Aeson was in cahoots with GoW to initiate the attacks on Stormia. All we have are his publicly declared plans for the invasion of Hurricane, but that's enough evidence for me."

Minister of the Massage Parlor Candi disagreed, "Aeson is so sexy, don't you think?", until she was notified of the President's presumed flight, to which she replied, "Aeson must be extradicted from Vox, he must pay for his massages from our people!"

That is a sad sight.

GS Outraged at Wedding!
Vows to triumph over acronyms with anagrams.

Borcem, NGoDW (OrangeNews) - An unruley crowd protested outside the UN while ND and GoW were joined together. Some were protesting because they hadn't been invited. Some because there were a few really hot Spanish lasses picketting the destruction and occupation of Es(tonia)pania. Others, like Cort Haus, Stormian Ambassador to both ND and GoW, were there hoping the invitation had just been lost in the mail. "When I was informed the invitation hadn't been sent out in the post intentionally, well then I went postal!" He added, "I didn't expect to be best man or give away the bride, but surely I deserve to be an usher at least?"

The crowd dispersed shortly after the wedding was concluded as airraid sirens were heard. No known Stormian bombing raids were schedualed at the time, and Borcem is out of range of even the longest range bombers, so this was probably just an elaborate ruse to break up the protests. No comment from the UN about the occurance was forthcoming.

Overseas in Stormia, the reaction of protest was much the same, but for different reasons altogether. alva, head of the Stormian Department of Acronyms and Anagrams, was disgusted at the lack of creativity shown by simply mashing the letters of GoW and ND together in such a haphazzard fashion. He stated, "Given the circumstances, we feel GoWND would be a much better acronym. I could see the phrase "I can't believe she was GoWND in white. *derisive snickering*" being tossed around quite a bit at the reception, but NGoWD, it's so gutteral and primitive that it can't be used in high society to any effect whatsoever. What are they, cave men?" He concluded, "Besides, we all know who is leading who around in this arrangement..."

alva's department has been working feverishly to determine what, if any, meanings can be derived from the combination of Glory of War and Neu Demogryptica. Some of the favorites so far are Glory of a Countrywide Rampage, Glory of Wimpy Routed Carnage, and Glory of Tawdry Orange Pumice. In the Glory of department though, Glory of a Dreamy Wagon Picture reigns supreme.

"Perhaps this is what they're after" says Krill, Minister of Paranormal 19th Century Transport, while pointing to a manila folder full of photographs. "We took this shot NW of Elipolis some months back. We were looking for a haunted conestoga in the area, but the sunset was kinda pretty don't you think? Given the focus of the invasion so far, we think this could be the answer to the question 'why'. The only thing to answer now is, is this wagon some artifact of great power that the nation of NGoWD requires for rituals to end the world?"

"We certainly hope not!" was the opinion voiced by most.

There is some division in the cabinet though. As Chief Justice asleepathewheel see's it, "Keeping Glory of intact is an underhanded way to anagram in my book." He points to Gory Import of a Nuclear Wedgy as the most likely anagram to fit the current situation. "Sure Glory of Warped Country Image fits in some people's minds, and Madcap Glory of Weiner Yogurt is funny the first few times you hear it, but we need to keep the purity of anagrams as our primary objective. Just as our Founding Fathers spelled out in the constitution."

Hard to argue with that!
