Tea flag was best flag. :P

This guy knows true vexillology.
Jaslandia, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
I'm down.
I think we should have a flag that matches our seal, which should also be cleaned up a bit. It's a little grainy.
Jaslandia
Was about to deny the sale of PS to you, and give it all to the enemies :P
I'd be fine with the current flag, but maybe with some lighter colors.
Jaslandia, Aldaur
Second CFN Flag War loading. Please wait ...
Jaslandia, Aldaur
So I decided to just make my Empire fully Islamic. Burning people at the stake, religion in schools.
Religion goes up by tiny percentages.
Woo.
Jaslandia
Secession?
Aldaur
Nah, I've mellowed out now. Idc what our flag looks like. We're just going to move regions again lol
So...who wants to make Argentism their national religion? It's basically the regional version of Christianity, so...you should totally adopt it.
Jaslandia, Aldaur
The Souverain Chantry of Argentean Christianisme in The Aldauri Imperium approves of this message.
Not for my countries, lads, sorry. Nuremgard is Orthodox, Tangshan is Taoist and Farahan is undergoing Islamisation.
Aldaur
Heretics :p
Says the follower of an offshoot of the one true Orthodox faith!
Aldaur
Argentism has Holy Hand-Maids. You are now convinced, yes?
Jaslandia, Aldaur
You disgust me.

Considering Silver is basically the God in this religion, and he founded the religion, I'm not sure if we should really stick with it considering we broke away from Silver.
I remember that. We used to have a Factbook where we used pictures of attractive and scantily-clad women (often models) as the 'Hand-Maids'. I don't think that Factbook exists now, but I remember worrying back then that we would get in trouble with the mods because of that Factbook.
Killdash
Argentum doesn't have to be directly related to Silver anymore. He can just be Argentum
I forgot about those. Isn't that just basically like the virgins in heaven in one of the Hadiths?
Jaslandia, Aldaur
Second
Jaslandia
This is completely removed from Silver. Argentum is just Argentum as Bax said.
Well, I guess we could always re-write the Holy Scriptures, just to make sure we remove Silver.
Aldaur
Yes. But we keep the Holy Handmaids
Aldaur
Sure. Just as long as we don't get in trouble with the mods.
Aldaur
This should be a fun project :p
The what?
Jaslandia
Post self-deleted by Baxten.
Basically they were women that were essentially concubines of Silver. However, I'm gonna morph it into a sort of reward for getting in heaven. I know sex isn't really an admired action in the Christian Churches, but this isn't exactly Christianity

Sword of Argentum?

Aldaur
We should try and do another WWIII RPG with the group.
Aldaur
Well, right now I'm developing a new type of tank round, so I'll help the war :P
I don't think we've ever done one. It'd be interesting though.
Aldaur, New Estaris
I have drawn up a super tank. So, I could use it.
How is it super?
Means it's large.
Basically a mobile fort.
Aldaur
I see. As long as it's got some good armor and does a good gun, it's good to me
Blueprints?
Aldaur, New Estaris
Well, they died off after WW2 for a reason.
New Estaris
I very much know what socialism looks like. Her policies, along with the democrat party, will to drag us down that road through larger and larger government and more government regulation which will, inevitably, lead to state-run corporations. Small steps towards socialism .. That is their goal and has been for a long time.
... Are you for real?
Aldaur
... I.. I don't even know what to say to that. Clearly you have never experienced Socialism.
Aldaur
I second that
Aldaur
Guys, ignore Shaggy. He is clearly a troll.
Aldaur
So, since Imgur changed, how do I upload?
Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus

Let's do this thing

Only when you say something like "Force fields are real!" in a military debate.
Lavan Tiri, Aldaur, New Estaris
I happen to appreciate Star Wars
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Aldaur
That...
Is completely unrelated.
Also, guys, my first factbook for the XM-182 "Humane Ignition" is up, Bax, you might want to look.

Love it! Could be a religious relic!

I just send 'em there, Bax.

YAY! WINTER HAS COME!
Rejoice my peoples, for winter is here!

I found this picture online, and I think it will be my main dreadnought.

I hate to remind you, but heavy armour went out after WW2 for a reason.
New Estaris
BUT, heavy armor is better, in my personal opinion.
Alrighty, however, I must note that I have yet to find the bomb/torpedo/missile/gun which has cared more for personal opinion than for facts.
A slower ship with more armour was discarded after WW1 by the Americans as it simply wasn't feasible to try to constantly up-armour a ship when avoiding the damage was cheaper.
New Estaris
It's like Bax's carrier thing. It's not 100% combat oriented.
So let's flyyyyy into the sky!
And get up, uuup into heaven, and kill gooooood!
Oh wait, gooooood is already deaaaaaaad!
But, Carriers are meant to disengage after launching fighters and bombers, while a Dreadnought is literally only for Combat.
Besides, a Cruise missile does not care for how the ship is purposed.
Because of our weeeeeeird fetishes!
And don't forget anti-vaxxers, racists and people who say that autism is a disease!
And the final thing:religiooooous extremists!
Well, sorry. What should I do?
For you maybe, we got first snowfall last night.
Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
Well, my red american blood calls for a regearing towards a suicide ram on the ship.
My more sensible British blood is quiet, sipping tea.
My French blood is laughing, in french.
Basically, put missiles on the ship, remove armour, and take some guns off, and decentralize command to a cruiser.
Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica, New Estaris
Well, My Irish blood tells me to ignore everything you are saying
My British blood is telling me to agree with you
My German blood is telling me to make it bigger
BUT, I think I will agree.
Penguania And Antarctica
The Irish blood in me is looking at you.
Damn Irish, the natural enemy of the Scotts, or the British, or the French, or the Irish.
They ruined Ireland!
Penguania And Antarctica

I have very contradictory blood.
Please, no...
There is a point where that too is trash.
We hit that point with the Zumwalt.
FINE. KAL. I have one more.

No,no. Please.
Fvck my iPod
Well, it's the same case as the Dreadnought.
New Estaris
Its faster, has better firepower, and anti air/missile systems.
Slightly faster, suffers from over-armouring, and ABM systems will fail under concentrated fire.
It's main guns don't really mater much when a missile can kill you from far over the horizon.
matter*
Damn
Il buy 200 of them
I'm not certain that you are serious.
Kal, you are a nasty killjoy.
Well, lets see how many missiles this can take with laser guided surface to air missiles and flak against them.
How many missiles are loaded, how many launchers are there, are the missiles flying quick and low, and how many have been fired?
I reckon it wouldn't take that many considering that, in your own words, the ABM's have to be laser guided.
Flak doesn't matter against rockets, really, since the shells tend to be on a timed fuse rather than a proximity fuse (and the gun would be slower to turn)
And the guidance would come from the launcher*
I am serious building up a new fleet
Aldaur
Of two hundred Battleships?
Aldaur
... Yamato of the Future?
Kal, this is a game, not the real life. Relax.
Aldaur
Peng. I have to agree with Kal here. There's no point in a Modern RP if we're using Battleships 4x The size of an Iowa. At least some things have to be realistic.
