The megafauna thing just means that this LP takes place in the Team Fortress 2 universe. I don't think it's that bad.

I'm really not seeing the vitriol in this thread. It's just a pretty civil discussion?

The arguments in the Crete thread turned a neat idea god awful, so I think people are just wary of the same people potentially getting way bent out of shape over some flags.

So basically, we have no hope at all without our allies and diplomacy!

The +1 diplomats from A could allow us to spam free-relation boosters with our allies increasing the chance they will honour the call to arms - AS WELL AS the +1 diplomacy total increasing the chance they will honour the call to arms.

Russia is going to invade us in like a year, diplomats aren't going to do poo poo in time. A is short sighted.

PS. A lot of people who know game mechanics really well are advocating B, which seems to be why it is winning since an initial spat of voting seemed to heavily favor A (probably because of the concerns of this and past updates on manpower).

Keep in mind that Wiz has heavily modded the game, so all of these people who really know the vanilla mechanics are probably wrong.

Yeah, I would much rather read interesting discussion about Russian history and good book recommendations than flagchat (lol Isle of Man am I right?) or more sperging about godawful Crete. This game takes forever and making updates out of it takes even longer, so there wouldn't be much of a thread without derails.

Maybe Glorious Bhutan too? Those guys seem pretty groovy. I can't imagine the greenest country in the world having done some great feats of subterfuge in the 20th-21st Century.

Wikipedia posted:

However, during the 1980s, after the Bhutanese government instituted a policy of one language and one culture, these Lhotshampas were forced to wear the national costume of Bhutan, which is not well-suited to the high temperatures of the southern region.[66] This cultural discrimination led to protests which eventually resulted in the eviction of more than 100,000 Lhotshampas throughout the 1990s.[33] These Lhotshampas took refuge in Nepal via India. Because the bilateral talks between Nepal and Bhutan to repatriate Bhutanese refugees (Lhotshampas) have been proven futile, the UNHCR is now helping the refugees to settle in various developed countries such as Norway, USA, Canada and many others.[32][33]

But then �lafur Tryggvason became king. He was kinda insistent on being becoming christian. As in, he tortured and killed people that didn't, kidnapped Icelanders that tried to land in Norway then banned any further landings in Norwegian ports.
Seeing as almost the entirety of our foreign relations were with Norway, we were pretty hosed and it was shaping up to be a civil war.
