At the rate game time is progressing, this just means the Commune's plans become long range plans; you can hardly expect an international alliance to be forged in less than a few months in-game. The Centrals will be sitting down and mulling over your offer, but they're certainly going to want to get a better feel for the region as a whole before they sign a mutual defense pact with you.

Speaking for myself, I just had the first lot of custom-made parts arrive for the instrument I've been designing over the past several months, which means my daytime activity will drop dramatically, but I can stay in the game.

No, don't really mind long-term plans. But if Coyote bulks out, that means no exploration in his corner of space! :angelic:
Lì ci sono chiese, macerie, moschee e questure, lì frontiere, prezzi inaccessibile e freddure
Lì paludi, minacce, cecchini coi fucili, documenti, file notturne e clandestini
Qui incontri, lotte, passi sincronizzati, colori, capannelli non autorizzati,
Uccelli migratori, reti, informazioni, piazze di Tutti i like pazze di passioni...

Well, I will be able to do stuff on weekends and after work, but my time in those realm is severely limited. For 4 years I had a very lenient work place, but I suppose with the economy the way it is bosses feel they can treat employees like rowers on a Roman war galley because no one will leave.

I really wanted to get into my personal stories in an interactive way (instead of just writing my own fics) but for the time being I'll have to be minimum activity at best.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!

I'll work with you via PM on my off-hours to do something with that; in the end I can mostly just provide some details and dialogue for my people and you can do the post.. if that works for you. Let me know what they're coming to collect, what they'll do, etc, and we can have something ready in time.

He has two posts to his credit and has done zero interaction with us. That he has suddenly jumped in out of nowhere is kinda offputting.

Yeah, I get that (I mean, who the fuck is this guy :P). But it's not like he's doing anything particularly bad, rite?

I'm not entirely sure what he was supposed to do beyond what he did, so I don't particularly care for the sudden drama about it.

Listen man, you don't understand my mentality. I'm 28 and I already enjoy shaking my walking stick at the damn kids on my lawn.

Shroom, you're the most unruly Asian any of us knows, and you have a small arsenal of automatic weapons. A Garand is not nearly enough firepower.

The way you do that is to hire Hispanic immigrants of dubious legality.

What?

Uhm sorry for not being more talkative, I had nothing really interesting to say in this commentary thread from time I registered to the time I just posted. I suppose if you want a paper trail, you could check the known as Silence at SB, and IIRC Lonestar ran across me if he was the same Lonestar at the apolyton forums way back when.

As for my cred and such, I was the dude who started if not ran the original thread that lead the creation of TGG universe, and stuff from there of Lisea, Devenshire, and New Plymouth originally were mine.
