"With enough loyal men and women at your back, you can do anything." With that creed serving as the foundation for all that came after, Pancho Villa led his personal army across the Texan border and ignited the first major Shine-fueled conflict the world had ever seen.

No matter how brave his troops were, after the first few skirmishes, Pancho was no longer willing to blame simple coincidence for the string of bad luck he had faced. Horses were lamed, food supplies were tainted, and trusted confidants died in the dark of night instead of on the glorious field of battle. The Mexican commander's enraged orders to his army left no room for doubt. Find the traitors, those who had betrayed his sacred trust - and deal with them permanently.

As the army set to preparing for a battlefield on two fronts - both without and within, Pancho lit a cigarillo and watched the sunrise. Hopefully his own turncoats in the other camp would cause just as much chaos for the Texans as theirs were for him...




Welcome to the División del Norte thread, led by Pancho Villa to crush Ma Ferguson's futile defenses!

Your thread leader is King Burgundy, who is confirmed town!
Your dedicated co-mod is Captain Foo if I am somehow not available!

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

The Lord of Hats
Aug 22, 2010

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
Hello, everyone! I'm Hats! You might remember me from previous Shine games, or from being filthy scum in the Qal thread of Conquest of Qal!

I know we've all got a lot of D1 shitposting to do, but there's just a couple of things I'd like to bring up early:

1. This is a *Soldiers* game! Battle results are important!

There was a bit of a tendency in the Qal thread to treat people focusing on battle results as being scummy for focusing on that instead of the social aspect of Mafia. There's a point there, but holy poo poo it is a treasure trove of mod-confirmed information to pick through and reach conclusions from!

2. The game is (probably) ultimately won or lost on the battlefield

Okay, so this is a bit vague, but the point is this isn't just us against scum, it's us against scum and the other thread. Being on point with scumhunting won't save us if we're getting massacred out there. Thankfully, we have our glorious leader to show us the way to victory, but we should help him out with it where possible. To that end, while it's ultimately up to King Burgundy, I would suggest that we all post where you're best used in battle. Just a simple front rank/back rank is a big help, but more than that could be useful! I wouldn't start sharing until KB gives the all clear, though.

3. Be chill! Take a siesta!

We're better than those gringoes. Let them do all the shouting at each other until they're blue in the face. I'll be honest, this is just an excuse to have a third item on the list, because I got this far. Oh, small point for KB though--be careful about swaying thread opinion too much, it can give scum a lot of cover if you give a lead to follow.

Alright, back to jokephase.
