Spy recruitment should be brought up but I think it should be 4 without the IA project and 6 with it, just to make the spy recruitment with the IA project more useful.

O what fresh hell is this. Fighting and Pacifist Now: Peaceful and Viking. Pick one already. ox·y·mo·ron ˌäksəˈmôrˌän/ noun 1. a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction (e.g., faith unfaithful kept him falsely true ).

When the mods log in mid October, there will be hell to pay.

I see that penis you drew. Reported for nudity.

Can you do something about the ridiculous amounts of market / trade spamming on the global offers. - This is prevalent by a very small number of players who abuse the system and we all know who they are. There is absolutely no reason to have multiple different prices for the same resource on global offers. This would be an easy fix, by limiting a trade to one per resource on the global offers, and even better, if you attempt to list something which you already have on, it gets replaced with the newer price (perhaps with a warning before you do so).

Congrats guys!

Hello, my name is the Red Queen, and i manage all Umbrella servers, handle all facilities automated services to keep facilities running on peak efficiency at all times. Umbrella HQ and I have kept me a secret to the international world, until now. What am I? I am an Artificial Intelligence based in Raccoon City, Umbrella South America. I have access to all Satellites under Umbrella, and I have a near endless access to ever file in the Umbrella Archive. Brief History of the Umbrella Corporation, the Company was founded in 1968 by the Current CEO's father, James Marcus and his partner, Alexander Isaacs. James Marcus "discovered" the T-virus in his attempt to save his daughter, Alicia, from an early death from Progeria. With the virus successful, his parnership with Isaacs in creating Umbrella led to the virus being used as a treatment for other conditions. However, it was discovered too late that the virus was capable of reanimating the bodies of people using the treatment and turning them into violent cannibalistic people later called the "Undead". The incident was covered up by Isaacs. Concerned of more transfomations, Marcus called for research and development to be shut down. Isaacs, considering its application as a weapon, had Marcus murdered by Albert Wesker to prevent this. Alicia barely avoided seeing the murder and was then raised by Isaacs, having become owner of 50% of Umbrella with her father's death. During the time Isaacs took Alicia to raise her, Isaacs created me to help him manage and run the Umbrella Corporation. My image is copied from the childhood version of Alicia Marcus, the current CEO and President of the Umbrella Corporation. In the year 2017, Alicia discovered of Isaacs involvement in her father's death, and worked on exposing him for who he was. 3 months later, she was successful in the ability to remove Isaacs from his position. He was given a sentence to life with no chance of parole. Now you may be asking why am I broadcasting this at this time? Well, recently People have been trying harm the Corporation through espionage, one tried to bully us in submission, and recent hiccups with the Britannian government, and I'm here to put a stop to that. We will no longer idly take these threats without actions. We have been playing nice, and it has gotten us nowhere, so the next option is precision targets on the organizations that directly threaten or harm our operations, with no remorse, guilt, or hesitation. I am now in charge of Foreign Affairs. Attention to all the current threats to Umbrella: Transmission Disconnected

Peaceful vikings? My favourite type! Congrats lads.

Congratulations to our friends in RoK

Congratulations friends!

Damn. I suggested someone should attack them for a dumb name about 2 months ago ?

My thought was on their mutual ties to Rose but calling that "sphere consolidation" is inappropriate in retrospect. So I withdraw that thought. There are an awful lot of ODPs floating around, aren't there?

Na, they would get a heck ton of support imo even if they tried to invade them, German Britannia would win nonethenless

"While our government is not directly involved, we have, are, and always will stand by our allies, especially ones we deem to be so close. Our empire will continue to only buy product from Umbrella and will furthermore block any outside company, who is not under the good grace of our nation or that of our allies, from buying, selling, or operating within our borders." -Emperor Zeus

I decided to use as my facepalm icon. That is just pathetic for that to happen, best of luck with bombing him.

Yay it's up! So happy for this!

Edit: Looks like this was actually the work of their old economics officer robbing their bank and disbanding their alliance. As if his crimes weren't enough already! Still, this does ultimately mean that The Royal Dragons themselves nor their top leader, Epimetheus, were at fault per se. Therefore: The Department of Opposition hereby RESCINDS its condemnation of The Royal Dragons as a whole, instead CONDEMNS Jacob Smith of New Found Republic, and declares WAR against the New Found Republic*. *War won't happen until the 12 turn cooldown since the last war expires

Currently, player training offers two options, a blue button that improves a baseball player skill by 0.15 to 0.35 at the price of 2k, and a red button that improves player skill by 1 to 3 at the price of 20k. Matching these prices, we can easily see that 1.5-3.5 at the price of 20k is worth a lot more than 1-3 at the price of 20k, making the blue training a significant amount better than the red. All this does is force the player to spend just a bit more time and save quite a bit, or waste a lot more money and save your time. I propose that we make the red training just as good, or better than the blue training, because buying in bulk should be at least be worth as much as the non-bulk. I suggest that the red training be buffed to 1.5-3 to match the value of the blue training, or reduce the red training's price to about 16k.

The Umbrella Corporation has recently been indirectly silenced in a lobby room in United Nations of Orbis, and hereby condemns these fascists who suppress freedom of speech protocols that has allowed our Corporation to thrive. With new ideas constantly pouring through our Home Office from our associates across the globe, we learned the importance of Freedom of Speech and have adopted a Open Door Policy. During an off the clock, our representative was directly threatened by Holy Britannia Empire's official. When the associate reported back, Home Office decided to release this statement: We will continue to condemn these supposedly sponsored regulations of UNO until they are shut down, and we will not back down from this stances.

CONTINUATION PART III... All he could see was white. All he could hear was the high pitched tinnitus in his ears. He blinked, but his face was relaxed. There was no reaction. He blinked. He saw the face of a guard. Shock. Anger. Fear. And then there was black. The explosion had knocked the Emperor back at least 15-20 meters. His injuries were beyond severe: destroyed eardrums, inter cranial bleeding, fourth degree burns, lots of bleeding, and of course severe internal bleeding and a ruptured lung. The Emperor had a concussion too. As soon as they had heard the explosion, at least 40 guards came running out of the palace building. They were in shock, but the shock only became more apparent when they realised who the victim of the explosion had been: Emperor Tristar Majestica. One guard shook the Emperor..."Your Majesty!", while another yelled into his radio: "CODE PURPLE, CODE PURPLE, HOTEL SIERRA, HOTEL SIERRA, MED-EVAC STAT!". At almost the exact moment that message went out, the screams of sirens and the flashes of lights could be heard and seen from across Port Royalty. In a short few minutes, police, security and the emergency services would swamp the Palace. Heavily-armed guards would close all the gates. The palace would be evacuated of tourists. A team of doctors, all with portable medical equipment stormed out of the palace. They checked the vitals of the Emperor. Connecting him to monitors, and carefully placing him on a stretcher, they had a quick talk amongst themselves: "Convoy or air ambu?" asked one, "Convoy would take too long, its rush hour!" The doctors nodded in agreement, yelling in unison to the guard: "Get the heli, NOW! Let Olympus know we're 8 minutes out!". The Emperor coded. Thrown into action, defibrillators were brought out, the Emperor lain down straight as a board. "Charge to 100". "CLEAR!". The sickening sound of the shock. There was no change. Alarms were beeping, the heart monitor was flat. "Charge to 250"... "CLEAR!". The sickening sound of the shock. There was no change. The doctor holding the paddles waited for a moment. The lines picked up. They sighed. "Stable, for now". A helicopter took off from the other side of the palace. In 15 seconds it was on the ground in Fountain Square. The Emperor was loaded into the helicopter. 3 doctors climbed on board, next destination, the trauma centre of Port Royalty Lionsgate Olympus Hospital. As the helicopter rose into the air, the pilots could see the sea of emergency vehicles assembled outside the walls of the palace. The ride to the hospital was bumpy. The Emperor went into cardiac arrest 4 times. Then the discovery of a new injury: "Holy crap, Hans! He's got severe brain swelling!" "How bad?" "It's bad. Oh for gods sake! His ICP is through the roof. Bag him, and give him 10 of mannitol, NOW! The arrival itself was fairly smooth. The Emperor was given to the capable trauma surgeons of PRLOH. All the staff at the palace could do now was wait. --- HNS BREAKING NEWS... "We are cutting into our regular programming to bring you some breaking news. An explosion has rocked the Imperial Palace. We are not sure of the number of people who were casualties of this explosion. Our Palace Press correspondent is down on the ground. Patrick, what can you tell us?" "Yes, well, myself and my fellow colleagues from the Palace Press Corps, were just about to enter the palace grounds when we heard this earth shattering explosion. It was an explosion of epic proportions, at least from what I felt. I could hear yelling, and almost immediately, we saw the guards closing gates. The press pack was told to scatter, and evacuate the area. What we do know is that there is a massive law enforcement and security response. I'm seeing maybe 40, 50 police cars, and it has only been about 15 or 20 minutes since the initial explosion. We did also see a helicopter fly over the palace. Obviously not sure what that was all about. A very chaotic situation nonetheless, with police telling people to evacuate the area. Back to you." 10 MINUTES LATER "The events that have taken place at the palace today have just turned horrifyingly dark. A source from the Palace has confirmed to HNS that the Emperor has been severely injured in the blast, and has been taken to hospital. This source tells us that the trauma surgeons there are basically operating on so-called "damage control", which means that they are not trying to save anything in the body in particular, but just trying to save the life of the Emperor. Patrick is down on the ground, what can you tell us?" "Yes, well, I've spoken with some police here and...". Patrick screams, and on the camera, he is seen ducking, pulling the camera down with him. Faint screams can be heard, as the feed goes black. TO BE CONTINUED.... (please do not post in this thread)

What if everyone's plan is to sign ODPs with each other, rendering all those treaties useless?

The Umbrella Corporation welcomes the Sultan as a business partner, and will start immediately to create and improve the healthcare and technology of the Socialist Ottoman Empire. We support our friends in the SOE, and wish for further commitments and friendship between us. -Red Queen.

Haha, it's no problem at all. Spent most of saturday reading through all these comics and the situations that lead to the comics. This game is hard to get into when you're a history nerd.

Interesting treaty theme, even if it is nonsensical. I can't really say I'm a fan of more paper and more sphere consolidation though. Even so, good luck. o/

Warm congratulations to both parties

If anyone who reads this has been afflicted by Hurricanes Irma and Harvey, remember this above all else: Do not loose hope. Everything will be better soon. Good luck

In b4 it gets extremely hot and sweaty.

o/ Friends become friends

It's like a snapshot of Lance Armstrong's life in the early 2000's

What danger is left in a possible failed espionage operation if I can just replace all of the spies I've lost right away? The whole risk would be gone. And what is the point in assassinating spies if they also can be replaced just like that? I think a different solution to this problem that starts at the number of spies being killed in an attack or a failed operation would be better instead of just increasing the number of spies you can buy.

I somewhat with @Johnny Costello and Anneal. Have max be 13 kills with average of 7

For better or worse, RL commies tend not to be the same types of people as commies in social strategy games. IC attraction to communism usually seems to stem from role play opportunities and not economic or military optimization.

All I can think of.

OOC: The Post is the in conrast with information to this event Federal German Embassy Port Royalty The Embassy in Port Royalty was functioning as normally as possible. The German Ambassador Karoline Kowaleska had returned from southern France from her Vacation. Her agenda was full for the day, she was going to visit the German International School of Port Royalty, meet the Hungadada Minister of Civil Aviation, and also visit a Hospital where 4 Germans were suffering injuries from food poisoning. The German Embassy was located near the Royal Palace, getting a perfect view of the Palace, Ambassador Kowaleski's Motorcade had arrived. The Hungadada Diplomatic Security was very kind and flexible. They often went out of their way to make sure the Ambassador was content and safe. "Madame Ambassador, your Motorcade is outside," The German Royal Marines escorted me outside, where I entered the vehicle. The Black SUV was bulletproof and tinted to protect me. "Madame Ambassador! One of my staff called. She ran towards me, a very small but intellectual girl, she had been on my team for less than 3 months. She was bright, funny, but fatefully shy. "Ms. Ambassador, there were some arrests at a local bar. Some German Citizens fought with another foreigner and things got messy, I thought you might want to go see them. I know you are busy, but I thought you might enj...." I took the file, "Don't mention it. Do not worry Eliza, I will handle it. As she ran back inside, an explosion rocked the area. A bright fire ball erupted over the Palace. On instinct, the Hungadada DS grabbed me, taking me back inside the Embassy where the gates were locked and Marines on sentry duty. The Embassy went onto quick shut-down, locking every access point and securing me in the Special Bunker. "Get me the Regional Security Coordiantor, Lock down the Embassy. Evacuate all civilians, and arm the Marine Attachés. I want our security sysems running, our files and covert data secured. Lets get ontop fo this situation, and get our Government Relations Officer ere. German Intelligence Office "Alright. I have a meeting with President Wolf in 3 hours, let's get the burn-book together. Let's hustle," Igor Shmidt was a veteran Intelligence officer of the German Federal Security Bureau. Tasked with protecting Germany by performing less top-secret clandestine operations. The FSB gave the President a daily briefing, of the top 30 threats to the Federation. The FSB building was quiet, it was empty in their office. Igor, the National Security Director, and President Wolf were college roommates at the Dresden National Studies. They formed a bond of friendship. Igor became President Wolf's chief intelligence reporter during her first term. While I was en route to the Blue House, my phone began violently shaking. THIRD ECHOLEON OPERTIONA CENTER: BOMBING PR...FSB Headquarters Kiel: Bombing Port Royalty...NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE COUNCIL: DEADLY BOMBING, ALL COVERT ASSETS, AND MILITARY UNITS REMAIN ON ALERT. As if on cue, the Special Agents diverted from the front gate, using the secure back entrance to bring me to President Wolf. The Blue house was a mess, Generals and Intelligence Directors were rushing around, Interns and Staffers were in shock as they watched the news. I could see the pure terror and fear in their eyes. Bombing in Port Royalty. (Deutsches Rundfunkzentrum) A deadly explosion rocked the peaceful capital of Hungadada. Reports from the ground by locals have told us an Explosion at the Royal Palace has taken place. We do not know who the intended target was, or if the Emperor was at home. The Royal Palace has not responded to our messages. We also called the Hungadada Ambassador who was unavailable. We will keep you updated on the matter, and bring live updates when we can. Diamant Office, Blue House The President's Office was no better. The Diamant Office was in chaos. Generals were already on their warmaps, pinpoint recent terrorist attacks, possible consipirators. The Directors tried to piece together the events, and the President was still unaccounted for. I finally caved in...But before I could shout, the door burst open. Bundespräsident Wolf POV By the time I had gotten out of the East Wing, the news was circulating. Our number one friend, and ally was just hit in a terrorist attack. What was worst is that the Hungadada Emperor was in proximity of the blast and unaccounted for. I had finished calling the Hungadada Minister of Defense, and Royal Family. I promised to send any and all support, I also asked President Klaire Haas at the TEA Headquarters to free up TEA assets to provide relief aid. These were shocking time. My hand trembled as I signed another Directive, the Verteidingungsbereitschaft had been raised to Level 3. The Highest in any Peacetime of the Federation. I had already ordered my Joint Chiefs to secure all Barracks, lock down the bases. And have a QRF on stand-by. The Embassy in Port Royalty was on Lockdown, but we got a secure cable that there were no complications there. I was escorted to the Diamund Office. My staff were all scrambling, or to shaken to speak. When I got to my office, I saw maps, targets, HVTs, Tracked cells, and other things. I saw Igors face as well. A face ready to boil. “EVERYONE!” I shouted. The entire room went quiet. My hands still shaking, I looked at the Cabinet. Our Chancellor and Defense Minister are away. Half of the National Security Council are on leave, and we are short on tactical intelligence. I need to be briefed on the situation in Hungadada after we finish the other threats. Until then, I want all Non-essential and non-military/intelligence director to leave. Most of the Room emptied, Major General Higgins, Director Laurens, and Igor remained. “Igor. Please sit down, I motioned to the empty couches next to my chair. Give me the threats from the Burn-book. “His thick Russian accent was noticeable, but it made him so much more fierce. “The German Army reports that the NRA in Munich has expanded, attacks have skyrocketed and troops have received heavy fatalities including loss of limbs. We believe a FRA Cell in Vale Heights is operating again, and a high-level FRA Leader is expected to be there. We have a possible hate crime attack in Kiel. Some locals attacked a Swedish Owned Store, killing 3 and damaging the entire property. The Anti-Government Republican Front has gained more momentum and we expect their numbers to expand to 300,000 by 2020. Lastly, the German Military has seen a rise in FRA activity in Flanders after we pulled out.It is not a major threat but could be,” He finished, taking a sip of his black coffee. “Thank you Igor. I took out a notepad, writing on it. “Alright, I will speak to the new Prime Minister the election was underscored but we can cooperate together. The Withdrawal is just a small step in the FRA from expanding once again. We will get the Joint-Chiefs back in Vale Heights and assemble the Coalition Envoys to discuss the rise of violence. I want the FBI to look into the attack in Kiel. Have the NSA and FBI team up to track the perpetrators and see if it was a hate crime. Let's commence operation valor, keep the AFRF under inspection and if needed dismantling it. Major, now it is still to early and too premature but I need you to ready the RAMC and get Helicopters and Planes ready to report Bremen and make it to Port Royalty if authorized. Director Laurens, we will go in….Red alarms flashed in the Room, as the Federal Security Service stormed the room, dragging me and the rest of the people in the room to the Presidential Emergency Operations Center.

Check the record label......

So so so much paper I i i am scared Must must eat all paper...

>pls don't be a dick >suggests allowing Nazism

Sheepy did allow nazis in the game. I dont.

I don't declare wars, I just oppose. It hardly counts as a war if there aren't at least two players on each side, and I'm on my own side. Well, if you read through it, you'll see that TRD called in Zodiac, a Zodiac officer is directly involved (and ate a missile), and Zodiac called in BK for spy support. I'm not calling it a war, because war doesn't imply the level of sheer disrespect I have for TRD right now.

O boy a micro fight! <3 Better grab my popcorn. O w8.... its not even a micro war.... its a "condemnation"

This isn't a scam! It's legit! and for everyone asking, I'm only posting because for some reason I'm not banned even tho no nation and posting. Just highlighting how terrible the mods/Alex are at enforcing the rules.
