Can engines into space?
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Maybe someday, Percy.
Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
Hooray!
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
I mean. I wouldn't, bur hey, the Dutch can into space as well as the US I suppose :P
Yes they can.

You agreed, I hope?
Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
I propose an agreement akin to that of Russia's declared protection of Serbia, circa 1914.

Oh, it looks like he was already deleted. Looks like we're at war with the Mods.
Jaslandia
We could also make a interregional task force to hold the line and be sent first with weapons so that it wil buy time and to find a cure and prepare the civilian population to be evacuated
#SkyrimRemastered :D
aka. Lets do what mods did 5 years ago but monetise it
Aldaur
Got a drug issue. Presumably weed given that it's referred to as a plant at one point. Options were:
- Tax and regulate drugs.
- Set age limits for buying drugs.
- Ban drugs.
- Ban drugs, alcohol, and smoking.
- Infuse the water supply with drugs.
-_-
Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
So what's the problem?
We have spare rockets somewhere around here
*glares at Kal*
Percyton
Tax and regulate. Make some moneys
This coming from the guy who's got the best healthcare system in the region.
I'm pretty sure five is the maximum amount of options an issue can have- I don't think I've seen one with six, but I could be mistaken- and all five are different means of regulation. I just think it's strange that there could be a drug related issue with five options and there not be a single deregulation option.
Well Nuremgard is known for its "absence of drug laws." I did that by legalising weed.
Swell. The Continental Commonwealths has a "keen interest in outer space" even though I chose not to fund interstellar research. I'm not sure those are the most accurate descriptors.
Nuremgard
[nation=short]Percyton[/nation] I need help with the Transantarctic Railroad. Can you assist the Penguanian engineers with your knowledge and skills ?
Vista Major, Percyton
Post-Revolutionary state is safest in the region.
Revolution is safe guys, you heard it here first!
Nuremgard, Vista Major, Tserra
I play on the ps4, so I've never had mods before. It's exciting:p
Seems Penguania is the most popular tourist destination in the region.
Well, to be honest, who doesn't like to make holidays when you surrounded by cute penguins ? :)
Nuremgard, Vista Major, Percyton
It's funny. Nuremgard is the least corrupt country in the region but my puppet Tangshan is the most corrupt.
Aldaur
Hey, that's Stanley! In space! I'll have to talk to him about it next time I see him.
Of course! I'll send some experts to help you right away!
Penguania sounds wonderful! Though, I'm surprised Percyton isn't ranked higher. It seems like the island is always busy with holidaymakers. Maybe I should appoint of Minister of Tourism to look into it?
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
With the smallest government and lowest taxes, much to my chagrin. *shakes fist at orange Tang*
Nuremgard, Aldaur
Our free markets are freer than yours! *General Longsun Zhao laughs maniacally*
Jaslandia, Aldaur
Only think about your society that's free, mutters Speaker Laura Rose poutingly.
Jaslandia, Aldaur
General: Freedom is overrated.
Aldaur
Rose: Your face is overrated.
Jaslandia, Aldaur

General: Jeez. I know you're jealous of our prosperity but you don't have to be a dick about it.
Jaslandia, Aldaur
I wish.
How's everyone today ?
Vista Major
Not bad. You?
Penguania And Antarctica
I'm doing great. :)
Nuremgard, Vista Major
This is the person we rely on to bring some procedure and decorum to the Senate Chamber.
Needless to say, Senate proceedings are very disorderly.
The General does not attend Senate proceedings or recognise them. He is the leader of a rogue state.
Aldaur
Thank you, buddy. :)
Jaslandia, Percyton
Your mama reminds me of the material of old hats.
Frequently felt.
Tserra
At first I thought you were implying that Speaker Rose was my mother and I was wondering what page out of Freud's playbook you were referencing to assume that I'd base my fictional country's chief executive on my mom.
Touché, btdubs.
Oh, it's all a little complex, one might say.
Killdash is on the wit train tonight.
[nation=short]Percyton[/nation] , is it one of yours?
Jaslandia, Killdash, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
I don't think so, but I'll ask around and see if any of the engines are pulling the 'Wit Train' (whatever that is).
Jaslandia, Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica, Tserra
45 Hours till Z-attack.
Be ready, All.
Tried making a ship, software wasn't great for building past 1950 though.
Jaslandia, Killdash
*looks from the horizon* The UCT had the longer record, but then again cute penguins over hyper-tech Texans :p
Guys, I need some advice...
Like, OOC advice, so you know sh*ts serious.
Aldaur
Oh?
Penguania And Antarctica
Tell us chuck, we'll try to help best we can.
Penguania And Antarctica
Sure, we will help. Whatever it is.
Okay, now OOC, which is rare for me on this forum, but this is a proper question, I need some advice, and you guys are decent peoples, (well, deep down, ;)).
Anyway, there's this girl I like, (it's always about a girl, isn't it). We've been talking very consistently for 3-4 weeks, in person and via text. I've never detected any sign, that I can see at least, that she's scared of or non appreciative of my attentions.
Aldaur
Alrighty, continue.
So, I'd say we've hit it of. But I need to make sure that I'm coming as "potential partner" not just "friend". We're going to a party on Saturday evening. I think this would be a good time to tell her about these feelings. Not in a desperate or gushy way, just so that she knows unequivocally that I'm interested in more than friendship.
A sort of "Listen, I just need to tell you, I like you, in a romantic way" if you will.
Aldaur
I've got my idea for getting to that level of conversation, (it's both topical and appropriate), but I want to know, is this the best course of action?
Should I perhaps ask her out instead? I was going to do both simultaneously, and asking for dating first seems a bit cart before the horse.
Besides, that may come off as still friendly. What do you guys think?
Aldaur
Sound's like you don't need our help at all, mate, because you've figured out the best course.
Killdash
I'm the worst advisor you can get for this topic. Sorry, I can't help you.
Killdash
Ah, you agree? Excellent.
Yes, I thought it's the right idea, but I get nervous, so I thought I'd get some confirmation/advice/critique.
No fear Peng. Thanks for listening.
Im not sure what some of those words are or mean but you should just hit them up on Grindr.
Those are my "dulcet" words, ;).
The gay Tindr? I mean, I don't know why she'd be hanging out there, but the world is mysterious, I suppose?
...Twas a Joke my dear, i was essentially saying that i cant really comment on the question since your crush doesn't have a penis. The joke being that im so gay i didnt recognise the word girl and go to Grindr.
Killdash, Penguania And Antarctica
Oh, I knew it was a joke. Not the joke you tell, but a joke nonetheless.
Is the process not very similar then? You can't just substitute pronouns?
"Grab 'em by the pussy"
Killdash
http://www.amerika.org/wp-content/uploads/triggered.png
Asking her out may be the best course of action. Considering you two've been talking for weeks, there's no need to have to ease into things, per say.
Also, makes you look a little less wimpy.
But who am I to talk? I haven't any experience
Killdash, Greater Banitia, Penguania And Antarctica
Like Peng and Vista, I don't think I'm the best person to ask in this case. All I'll say is that whatever you do, be confident but not pushy. Be committed to what you want to do, and it'll show when you finally do it.
Killdash, Greater Banitia, Penguania And Antarctica
See, I'm going to ask her out. But I think I should say, "in a romantic way" first. Just in case it becomes one of those friend dates, which I don't want.
Thanks Jas, :p
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Like, literally say that?
Sounds cheezy

No problem.
Well, Killdash said he's been talking with this girl for a while now, so hopefully she knows and likes him well enough to overlook any 'cheesiness'.
But no, not exactly that. Contrary to popular belief, I don't really talk like Percy Blythe Shelley in the real world. But I have the appropriate topical conversation that I will make to that point.
Be flexible
Oh I am. Supple, even.
As a gay male in middle class America, I know what the ladies like. And what the ladies like is very different from person to person.
For instance, if she's more of a private person, a party may not be the best place because there's a lot of people around and it's kind of a personal thing to go out on a romantic date. Or in turn, she may be perfectly cool with it.
Same goes for presentation. For instance, at school, I have two friends named Moira and Jordan. Moira is a casual person, if you want to date her, you basically make it obvious and just ask her. Jordan on the other hand prefers the romantic beating around the bush and stuff. It's all dependent and you have to gauge on what kind she'll be more receptive, because tone and presentation is anything and everything. But above all, be considerate. For instance, if she wants a more private time to talk about it, then that's okay. If she wants to take things slow, then that's also okay. Never try to push her into something, it'll make her uncomfortable and it's just kind of a douchey thing to do.
As long as you know how she handles herself in terms of privacy and intimacy (The romantic kind), then you should be fine.
Jaslandia, Killdash, Penguania And Antarctica
Thanks Sul, this is excellent advice. For the record, it's her idea that we go to the party, and besides, it's more a causal braai/bonfire than a hardcore, alcohol and dance music party.
She's not shy, per se, but she's a lot like me. Friendly and amenable, but not overly given to openness or anything extensive.
My judgement on the situation suggests that, perhaps like myself, she may not be able to make a clear decision without an out and out. For instance, never being sure if gestures are a romantic or friendly thing.
Besides this, I plan to make sure the setting is private, and that she has both time to think about the situation, and doesn't feel pressure one way or the other. I'm just looking for honesty, I don't want to waste anybody's time.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Well, aren't you just a gentleman?
Greater Banitia, Penguania And Antarctica
Just ask her out. Be all like, "Yo, you wanna go out with me?", or "Hey, wanna be my girlfriend?" It is really that easy, and most women I know at least appreciate it when a fella is direct.
Most people I know seem to have trouble just asking the question, and the question is like 90 percent of the battle.
I may be too late with my answer, but as far as I know I am the only fella in the region who is married, so I figured I should add my piece at least.
Jaslandia
