You are a history major. I expect much from you.

if anyone posts blitzkreig bob, they're in trouble.

Also, I wanted to point out, any responses MUST come in the next turn. For example, if someone is invading your country and you post AFTER the persons invasion you can't preempt their current and ongoing strike in the current turn.

This is why the covert action summary is important too. If you want to attack someone without them having any idea its coming (in the small chance they could somehow mitigate the damage in their own action summary) then the covert action summary is the way to go. Granted, unless this is a small surgical strike then it will become known but you will maintain the complete element of surprise.

I just wanted to clarify that. This is a turn based game. You can't react to certain things until the next turn.

I'm excited to see who will have the first action summary! Take all the time you need (within one week), although if everyone gets it in we can advance.

It's difficult to sum up exactly how long one turn is, but needless to say if you're doing something like..trying to increase education spending or research over a five year period it will certainly take some time to take effect.

However, something like a war is persistent and ongoing.

****! Wish I would have seen this earlier :(

So we can send you our Overt measures when ever now?

Yessir. Just use the format to the how to play/rules thread and you guys can post you action summary at any time. Also, you may send your covert actions too via PM.

[Shane P. Hallam]

Quick question:

For the Overt actions, can they be edited/updated through the week (or until we advance,) or once it is posted it is set in stone?

I am assuming covert actions are set in stone when sent so you don't get 50,000 PMs, lol.

[vidae]

Israel will be posting our overt actions very shortly. I'm cleaning it up a bit and still talking to a few countries to make sure I get everything done.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Anybody who takes action against the west can expect a quick and severe counter attack.

And not just from the US but her allies as well.

I sense a revolt coming.

I see the US is already trying to create tension between the powerful nation of China. We will not be bullied this is a warning.

Interesting that you are trying to garner public support. I simply asked you not to fund my enemies, you then responded that we are not allies and you would not retaliate against anyone who attacked me which I never asked you to do. I see through you, fund the enemies of the west and sit back, doing nothing, and watch everyone take each other out.

Garner public support? I'm warning you stop threatening me about you and your allies that will cut trades with china if I do not agree to your offer. Even threatening to go to war with me. The US threatening China about cutting us off is not a wise move on your part. So I said this was a warning and if you continue your economy would hurt without us so stop with the threatening PMs.

[bantx]

And don't change up my wording I will screen shot the PMs if you continue to try to manipulate opinions of other nations with your wording.

The only way you could take what I said as a threat is if you are working against me. I never asked you to agree to any offer, I am simply stating that if you are funding those working against the west there will be consequences.

[bantx]

China has been supply the nations you mentioned for awhile now so cutting ties with them only to benefit is not something I will do. I take it as a threat because it is a threat.

"You have a large army but I have a large group of countries that will join forces with me. The second I feel you have made your move against me heavy trade sanctions will be levied on you by not only the US but the majority of countries in the world. I want to work with you but I am prepared to go to war if that is what it takes."

Sounds and looks like a threat to me.

I never even mentioned any countries being enemies of mine. You have just confirmed that you are working with countries that you know to be planning on attack on the west. I am sure it involves other countries as well. Let it be known to the world that China is being shady as ****.

You're trying to play this like a mafia game. Saying, "China is being shady as ****." is a great way to run a nation.

You're going to run the US into the dirt economically with the way you you're trying to run things.

And I didn't mention any countries either. This is a direct quote from the pm box, stop digging the US into a bigger hole.

I take military attacks against my nation seriously. I wanted to feel you out and I succeeded. You are not to be trusted and you know of an imminent attack and are keeping that information to yourself. I hope to usher in a new age of peace and prosperity to the world, clearly you have ulterior motives.

Seriously, this isn't mafia. Christ.

I agree which is why the US isn't in a pact to destroy other nations like China is. China can claim ignorance all they want but they are making a power grab.
