I'm disappointed no one noticed I tried to make the election dispatch's pie chart's colors resemble those on Thuz's and Verdon's flags.

If it's still open, I'd be interested in giving it a try once I'm confirmed onto the map.

Ball State is not a bad college, I toured it a few times but I decided to go elsewhere.

I like it from what I saw.Best of luck wherever you chose, unless you already went of course.

Remind me, what are you studying?

Oh neat.

The roadblocks an RP like that would need to overcome are the fact that for AM to attack me by himself is suicidal, of all the people in the Isles the one I can project the most hard power onto is him, due to our proximity; and the fact that C6 would not let him start WWIII with the MSTO over something like that. That would have the opposite problem. We're too well matched; it would be an absolute slug fest that no one comes out of better off than they went in.

That constrains the possibilities. War isn't an option, so diplomacy and petty revenge through other indirect means are the only paths left.

Petty diplomacy is. Have you guys ironed out a history recently? Perhaps am could go around to individual nations and work on sanctioning you slowly? Or you guys could rp it as a constant bad relationship?

Just really depends on your collaboration efforts

Happy National Ice Cream Sandwich Day!!!!

If you are cranky about it, turn that into something productive and actually plan an RP with Mik regarding it.

And what, great leader?

It's like Mik said. War is a waste of everyone's time and resources. Getting this into the League is yet another waste of time (already tried it by the way before you ask). The answer last time was "they got the island when Miklania became independent" or "lies within Miklanian territory on our map".

We want that outpost dismantled? Yes. But the only logical option right now is to call the Miklanian ambassador for tea on weekly basis and habd some strongly worded letters.

BTW, my crankiness has to do with the OOC issue more

Exactly.

My main issue is you need to get that Miksolc Island as either Miklanian/disputed territory on the Isles map.

From how the current map shows; it's an unidentified territory that the Miklanian army forcefully claimed on in 2015 to build the oupost.

My cent of two words is: It just leaves a sour taste. Many new nations write wonderful dispatches but cannot claim land or make NPCs. You just have a couple of paragraphs and been saying that the outpost exists there.

Perhaps as the SoRP, you can help in Miksolc Island being listed as Miklania/disputed territory on map.

That's the point.

It's not a competition. If you focus on being active and making quality posts, your rankings will increase naturally.

I've had to remove the 'most likes given' category because folks would often spam likes to get higher in the rankings, not understanding or caring that it wasn't a competition and that it annoyed the hell out of everyone else.

Anyway, glad you're excited for it. There'll be another one next month :)

Fair enough, I just think the whole thing is pretty cool. It must take forever to compile all of that, kudos putting in that work.

He wrote a code. But it is impressive.

I prefer stock car racing, might make that an Oturian thing.

Don't you love that feeling when you're in the hot 100 but you completely forget about it like two days after you're in it
Also, don't you love that feeling when you're listening to the Sonic Mania OST and feeling really productive but also have a worry in the back of your mind that you'll become dependent on it
