Hail to the Redskins Dip (sign up)

[RUFFHAUS 8]

Well enough of the peace pipe around here! Let's have some real war. This is a variant called Native American Dip, that I'll call 'Hail to the Redskins Dip'. The first 11 war chiefs to respond with a full set of preferences will get the nod to race for control of North America in 1500. Please excuse any historical inconsistencies, as it's just a game map that I ran across out there, and thought would be fun. If we like it enough we can work on modifying it maybe.

This variant follows all the basic rules of diplomacy with a few minor adjustments. All nations start with one war party (army) per player; there are no fleets; builds may be on any controlled center available to build on; the first war chief to claim 20 feathers (supply centers) wins!

I need preferences from everyone who aspires to conquer North America before the vile Europeans arrive to do their worst. Here's the map:

The eleven war parties are:

Cherokee (Catawba)
Choctaw
Iroquois
Kickapoo
Klamath
Malcite
Nez Perce
Serrano
Sioux
Wichita
Zuni

I'm sorry..."Hail to the Redskins"???

That's extremely insulting to Native Americans. The skin of a native American is not red, it is simply pigmented differently than that of Indo-Europeans, Asians, and Africans.

I strongly suggest you change the name of this game IMMEDIATELY

Would "let's get drunk" work better?

[RUFFHAUS 8]

I might have known. I didn't know that you spoke for American Indians, orange, but thanks for your opinion.

[Defiant]

Didn't you know Ruff, that Orange wouldn't be happy unless we are all riding our bicycles with black pajamas and those funny little hats.
If there was a Wisconsin Pro football team called the Milwaukee Pollacks, I would be for it, I believe it to be an honor, we wouldn't be forgotton, but then again Orange will never understand something like that.

I have a bigger issue, funny how you are getting the "Hail to the Redskins" just before the Packers(or is that wrong to say of guys who are in the packaging business, oh well) annihilate those Redskins of Washington.

[orange]

Can everyone here please look up the word 'satire' in the dictionary

[Defiant]

Now Orange,
It is tough to decide when you are in "satire" mode or not, because everybody knows you are a tree hugging socialist who really believes in some of this foolishness that us commoners don't.

[orange]

if there's one thing I'm not, it's PC

I recently heard this one...

Calling heterosexual people "Straight" offends gay people...and they prefer the term "non-Gay" to describe the sexuality of heteros

Yeah, and I'm a non-black non-female too

[RUFFHAUS 8]

Orange, can you take the PC banter to the OT forum (where it thrives) please?

I'm trying to get a game going here. Either sign up, or don't. But take the debate off this thread. (threadjacker!)

Three spots taken, 8 still available, let's go.

[orange]

did you read my posts, Ruff?

[snowcrash22]

I have now e-mailed my intent to play and nation choices to RUFFHAUS8@aol.com.

May I diplomatically choke your rivers with your dead.

[Thucydides]

OK, I'm in Chief.

Preferences:
Cherokee,
Serrano
Nez Pierce
any other Nation.

[RUFFHAUS 8]

Okay, I have 7 slots left. Defiant, Gerwald, Snowcrash, and Thucydides have signed up. The big eagle in the sky thanks you brave warriors for your interest.

Now: orange, Gnu, and Larry... All of you were interested enough to be wiseacres on the thread. What do you say? It's just one unit to start? C'mon, this will be a wild one.

[CyberGnu]

Maybe in gunboat mode, but I already play one vanilla dip and GM'ing one Imperial... And my employer keeps insisting that I'll work during the day, so what can I do?
