    So in my first piece I touched on how the Limitless Coalition could potentially "win" this war. Because of the destruction wrought on the Libertarian Party during the conflict, Meth's best (and only) option is a full scale assault on the lower tier nations of STRIPES, Kashmir and NSO. Pretty much every active nation under 10k NS would have to be hit repeatedly. This would have the effect of paralyzing the Dre4mers ability to grow their small nations. It is an uncouth underhanded way to fight the war; but it is very valid. The hope is that Meth would be able to continue this type of warfare for long enough that the leadership and membership would just get tired of fighting this way and sue for peace to end it. How long would that take? couldn't say...three weeks? three months? a year? until STAR WARS episode X? who knows. But most of the danger here can be avoided using peace mode.
    Now for the Dre4mers the road to total victory is slightly more treacherous. But I believe there is a way so I submit to you-

    Lucius's grand plan to end the Dre4m War
    (for good)
    First thing we must understand when fighting people like the Libertarian Party of CN is that things like: nation strength, nuclear anarchy, nation development, infrastructure, self preservation, war chests, and paying tech deals matter very little to them. So how does one deal with the near completely unreasonable? SRA and Kash tried to end the war quickly by simply rolling 80% of the LN allies yet Meth shows no sign of calling it quits. When we are faced with challenges like these we have look beyond the battlefield and into the politics that brought about this great little war. Why is Meth at war in the first place? I think it all boils down to his senate seat. He campaigned hard to get it, so now he fights harder to keep it. Thats right, in order to win the war I propose that the Dre4mers re-destabilize the Brown Sphere.
    PHASE 1- Identify LN sympathizers
    This phase will involve a lot of research into brown voting. Identifying Meths voters outside the main group and convincing them to not vote libertarian...by any means necessary. At 228 active brown nations and of those only 138 allowed to vote, there can't be that many targets. Between \m/, STRIPES and NSO it will be easy to identify and track the meth supporters, keeping them in the crosshairs. While this is going on, nations in range of Meth, Sigrun, Jonesville, and pacifis will continue keeping them in anarchy. This will help to minimize the risk of them striking back.
    PHASE 2- The moneybags
    The Dre4mers must endeavor to stop Meths foreign backers. This is perhaps the most dangerous part of the operation as there may be severe consequences for attacking The Grand Lodge of Freemasons and increase the chance of expanding the war further.
    Breaking Sigrun is also key here as she seams to help hold the Meth coalition together financially. If Sigrun quits, Meth will have to think about it.

    PHASE 3- Invasion of Brown
    After making pacts with major brown alliances, the Dre4mers coalition will then switch however many nations they need to brown team. Of course they will be immediately exposed to sanctions by Meth but the sanctions should be expected. The goal here will be to further weaken the Meth base on Brown and eventually elect a senator to counter him. If all went perfectly Meth should be driven from the senate and therefor powerless. At the same time, Kashmir must be watchful of a attempt by Meth to move his base to yellow.

    PHASE 4- the finishing move
    With Meth and company effectively cut off from any major aid and vulnerable to sanctions, the Dre4mers would move in and attempt to bill-lock Meth and his main backers. Bill-locked and unable to continue fighting meth would ask nicely for peace on the Dre4mers terms. And the war would (hopefully) be over.
    estimated completion time: three to five months
    Messy? yup..
    Unreasonably complex? perhaps...
    Necessary? absolutely. Of course we could always have a delay of game until 2016
    Please keep in mind this is all in theory. The war could go anywhere from here.
    Part three will look into possible outcomes, treaties, and the general aftermath of the Dre4m War, And how it could effect the micro community.
  2. Lucius Optimus
    For more than two months now the Dre4m war has raged, talk of the war drags on in the OWF. Meth rants about how he is winning and everyone is a disappointment to him, Lord Hitchcock backs him up... The (former) SRA \m/ side rants about how mental Meth is and how Methheads twist the wars to try (and fail) to give them some sort of moral high ground. But without Walsh, the anti-meth sides' arguments lack flare.
    Popular opinion is for the most part against the Meth Coalition. But Popular opinion is also against this war in general. And although If called upon I will fight this war with all my NS, I have come to the conclusion that this war MUST END...and soon. The war of attrition will not bode well for the STRIPES side on developing nations unless everyone in range of Meth and Monsters goes peace mode. At 10k NS Meth is vastly overpowered compared to 95% of that tier. Meth no longer has to use any kind of "strategy" or "skill" to win those fights, so if he says that remember it is total BS.
    At this point one can justify allowing both sides to claim victory.
    -Meth won by securing the brown sphere
    -SRIPES and Kashmir won by effectively dismantling Meths ability to declare offensive wars. As well as bombing monsters and aNiMaLz to oblivion.
    The double victory claim is IMO the best way to end this as both sides (especially Meth) can rebuild, If we still feel sore about it in 2016 we can try to finish the war that year.
    However, taking the attitudes of the two combatants into account this war can go on for a very long time. In order to win (white peace) All Meth has to do is have his coalition keep attacking underdeveloped nations until the other side gets tired out (or he talks them to death). STRIPES and Kashmir CAN win this war decisively on the the military front and the PR front. But it will have to involve a slight change of strategy(more on that later) and many more weeks or months of commitment to possibly the most bitter micro drama of the past two years...
