The War Cry of Uncle Sam [OOC, Closed]

[The Manticoran Empire]

OK, just gonna be on for the next 60 minutes. I've got a job opportunity today with some family and I gotta be there before 8 so give me a rundown on what has happened the last couple days.

Good luck.

In any case, the Battle of Columbus is either over, or just about to be, we are (with growing rage) waiting for Kiser to give a simple "Yes" or "No" on whether to accept the offer to quit the field unmolested.

Lots of naval discussion IC and OOC, Freedonia is building some of its shipyards back up, and starting work on a light carrier-the Confederacy is continuing their own program after their test carrier sank.

Freedonia half-joined the battle with an aerial attack, which was not as decisive as one might have thought.

Alaska and Florida are meeting, the New American Republic is still in a civil war, with Floridian and preliminary Borinquenos involvement.

There may have been something else but I cannot recall it.

God damn it, Kiser. Can't you just quit the field of battle, end the war, get us through a time jump, build a larger coalition of nations, then crush Stull between a Hammer and an Anvil? Is that really so difficult?

[Prolieum]

The naval discussion is pretty funny, since you and the USA are leagues ahead of everyone else in that regard, to the point where catching seems near-impossible, the Confederacy has the capacity to, I suppose, but it would be a massive project.

Which is why I'm content to wait.

Hey, would you be willing to sell the America?

[Prolieum]

Ooh, boy, I just learned something fantastic. I think I know what I am going to do with that naval treasury of mine now.

EDIT: Crap. Nevermind, I screwed up. Nix on that.

[Prolieum]

Kelvinsi, what do you think about building a joint freight line between Oklahoma City and New Orleans to aid in commerce?

[Prolieum]

All right, I am about 85% certain I am going to end up horribly regretting this, but I can give you back some of that land I know you want so badly. We would push the border back to a line one hundred miles south of the Red River, so we can have a buffer zone. I would continue to get the power from my wind farms and you would build me new ones to replace them. Any Freedonian citizens who want to leave are allowed to leave. I get one county-Cameron-it is in the southeast and has a port that I need to help trade with the Virgin Islands.

There you go. Hope that you are satisfied with it.

Second bit-you need more on the economy: Absolutely minimum additions are, 1. noting the natural monopoly bit, and 2. noting that you are giving them the cash you printed.

Third thing-You need to respond, by tonight, to the offer. This is getting absurd. If not, Xathuecia's plan goes through.

Ok I will try to do that later. Also what is included in that county?

[Chewion]

Ok that county should be fine. I have no need for it and my naval base is farther north so it's fine.

[Prolieum]

Is that an agreement, then?

I am half very happy that you responded, and half a little annoyed that it is not resolved-but we are now very close.

Yes if nothing important is in that county.

A port, some scrapyards, I think there may be a steel mill.

EDIT: Cursory glance seems to imply no steel mills.

[Prolieum]

So the Texans are officially quitting the field?

[Prolieum]

Since the deal was clearly accepted, and the deal involves them quitting the field, I am going to assume that they are doing so.

They leave the battlefield.

Yea/nay on the deal? I have a political post that I am writing that will depend on it.

[Prolieum]

Blast it all, this should not be taking this long of brief-on, brief-off. I need to go soon, my break is almost up. Just confirm acceptance of the deal, and confirm that you are leaving the battlefield.

[Chewion]

Define.

They leave the battlefield.

Thank goodness

You just saved three nations from disaster. Oh, man, that was stressful.

[Federal States of Xathuecia]

Confirmed.

You traitor! OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!

[Prolieum]

Confirmed.

You traitor! OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!

He probably just saved the American Union. I imagine he will end up being an unsung hero, though-highly unpopular for his actions, but with those actions he did a great deal of good.

[Prolieum]

OK-Kiser, absolutely massive present for you for free. I never really noticed hoe far a hundred miles from the Red River is-according to what you just agreed to, you would give me Dallas. Of course, that wad not the intention -I technically could keep it but that would just be a jerk move, so I am altering the treaty to have the border bend around Dallas-it can bend around Fort Worth too, so you can get that back.

[Prolieum]

Confirmed.

You traitor! OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!

Going to do anything in the battle, or shall I wrap it up?

[Democratic Peoples republic of Kelvinsi]

Columbus is not looking good for the coalition, the CSA probably is not going to join.

Wait what? I thought I got back land and you got a county?!?!?
