A necessary move, very good.

The collective experience will appear dead when viewing from within the Neutral Zone.

Wondered if the two of you guys would link up again, glad to see that has been the case. Ice cold iridium-infused beers and well wishes from GATO to you both.

I was in Umbrella at the time and remember the two of you guys bonking each other on the head a lot. It was good training for the GOONS really, kept them occupied and entertained. But old grudges are old and it wasn't mine to hold anyway. All the best to you on your return to this wasteland, if you look closely enough you'll find pockets of life here and there still.

A large queue started forming when GATO were responding to his raid on Shangri-La and as he'd left NATO shortly after this, people were looking to take turns on him. Quite flattering if you ask me.

boognish lol'd

I still want to know why NPO smashed you up and you're in a one man alliance.

Is zeroing the same nation💩 3 times in a round a record?☠️☠️☠️ Is the amount of dozen zeroed opponents a thing? Asking for an imaginary friend? Can you smell the burnt shoe leather?

Sure seems like you are, though.

Pacific Radio Network TRANSCRIPT FROM PACIFIC RADIO NETWORK STATION 101.9 FM NIGHTLY NEWS WITH FRED CAMPBELL March 7, 2166 ANTI-TRUST BILLS DEBATED Premier Edith Bartlett [CAMPBELL] She's back! [Sound of a drumroll] [CAMPBELL] This is Pacific Radio Network Nightly News, and I'm your host, Fred Campbell. Our good friend, Edith Bartlett is back on the air with us tonight, for the first time since becoming Premier. [Sound of trumpets fanfare] [CAMPBELL] Congratulations on your selection as Premier, Ms. Bartlett. [BARTLETT] Thank you, Fred. And I've been on this show far too often for you to suddenly start calling me, Ms. Bartlett. [CAMPBELL] (chuckles) Ok, Edith. I'm just very excited to have you here. It's been a long time since we've been able to have you on the show. [BARTLETT] Yes, well the transition to Premier wasn't easy. There's a lot more that goes into leading a conference than you might think, and getting everyone on board with our legislative priorities. [CAMPBELL] So let's talk about those priorities. Earlier in the week, you started discussing a pair of Anti-Trust Bills. Which corporations are those targeting. [BARTLETT] Astor Ashbridge Holdings and the Eastern Broadcasting Company. [CAMPBELL] Ok, so AAH and the EBC. AAH makes since. They've been discussed a lot, but the EBC? [BARTLETT] I don't think the EBC's broadcasting is problematic. It's their ownership and management of the ABL that is concerning. But, I'm unsure how far the EBC bill will make it. Right now we're trying to take the temperature of all the senators and understand how they feel about this issue. [CAMPBELL] Right, because the Webb Anti-Trust Act requires a supermajority of the Commune. 60% [BARTLETT] It's actually 65%. So we need to plan on getting 30 votes. [CAMPBELL] And you've only got 23 votes with your party. [BARTLETT] Exactly, so we would need to make sure that at least 7 others would support. That's where it gets tricky. And even the specifics may sway some senators. For example, overall support for the breakup of AAH is pretty popular, but when you start looking at specific scenarios, it becomes less clear. For example, forcing AAH to sell Rossingol Motors has nearly unanimous support regardless of party affiliation, but forcing AAH to sell or break up OSR doesn't even have the full support of my party. [CAMPBELL] So, should we expect to see a vote on any bill soon? [BARTLETT] It's going to take some time, but we're committed to figuring out the structure that has the best chance of success and getting in front of the Commune for their consideration. [CAMPBELL] Thanks, Edith. We are going to keep talking about some other legislative priorities in a moment, but first, a word from our sponsors.

Pacific Radio Network TRANSCRIPT FROM PACIFIC RADIO NETWORK STATION 101.9 FM NIGHTLY NEWS WITH FRED CAMPBELL February 17, 2166 CALIFORNIA TEETERS ON BRINK OF COLLAPSE Prime Minister of Cascadia, Elsie Huang [CAMPBELL] War continues to rage in the west [Sound of an explosion, and then the rapid rat-a-tat-tat of gunfire] [CAMPBELL] This is Pacific Radio Network Nightly News, and I'm your host, Fred Campbell. For the last seven and a half months, war has been raging on the west coast. The Republic of California has been under siege from New Tahoe, and quite frankly, that war has not been going well. California has been reduced to more or less the city-state of San Diego. There has been a bright spot in the war, and that was the entry of Cascadia. It might be too early to say that the tide has turned, but certainly, New Tahoe is struggling to manage a war on two fronts. To talk with us today about the war efforts, we have a very special guest today, Prime Minister of Cascadia, Elsie Huang. [HUANG] Thank you for having me on your show, Fred. [CAMPBELL] Ms. Huang, this is an unbelievable honor. [HUANG] Always a pleasure to speak on the Pacific Radio Network, and help provide the voice of reason. [CAMPBELL] Well, yes. Ms. Huang, Cascadia entered the war about a month and a half ago, intending to defend California. How can you say the war effort is going? [HUANG] It's moving along. California has been hanging on by a thread for much of the end of last year. But we've forced Tahoe to divert their attention. The city is under siege though, and that Tahoe fleet is blockading the city from the sea. It is nearly impossible to help California directly. Their fate rests in their own hands, and we will do what we can from a far. [CAMPBELL] And what you can do, is advance directly into Tahoe territory. [HUANG] That's exactly right. Our forces have advanced into northern and eastern Tahoe. [CAMPBELL] And ultimately, what is your objective? [HUANG] We want ensure our southern neighbor learns to respect borders. If we don't stop Tahoe here now, perhaps the next borders they infringe on will be our own. [CAMPBELL] Okay. We will spend some more time with Ms. Huang in a moment, talking about Cascadia's transportation strategy, but first, a word from our sponsors.

I'm the one who isn't getting wound up by someone posting on the internet.

Easiest poll I'll ever vote on. YES. Watch the nukes fly.

Solid to very solid.

Strong to very strong. 💪

Find me just 1 other player who thinks your Defeat Alert suggestion, and then not allowing DAs for half the day, makes perfect sense. You are so wrong it's laughable. OP is not turtling. If you think it's such a problem and you have a solution, go create your own thread about it. This thread is how Foreign Aid has wrecked the round. Turtling has nothing to do with it.

If Armen too is OK with it, and if the both of you can promise not to then endlessly publicly brag or complain or bicker about it, then my vote is yes. Otherwise, no please.

Bump cause I don't know either.

Who are you again?

Where is the "Firingline should delete his nation and move on with his life" option?

It wasn't autocorrect.

Auto correct at its finest.

The most practical tactics in this round have been to: #1. Pass a giant yarn-ball-of-tech, or even giant 3 yarn-balls-of-tech to one account, flatten an opponent, and pass the tech along. #2. Have a larger gang to create #1.

Did not see a "FL is an idiot, so yes" option. Walked away disappointed.
