All credit goes to Vista, I'm just RPing as Katerina, which means I've got to have a fiery temper and a big mouth when I use her.

If I could pick which character I've made that I really based on me and have the easiest time using, it'd probably be Ludwig. He just doesn't give a damn about a lot of stuff, and tends to be more relaxed and sarcastic when it comes to leading and speaking.

I write a light-hearted post about Mr. Ambassador Going to Axeldonia, and, BAM, GTC mobilization

And another meex-up: Christian is not a legislator; he's the president of Vista Major. I honestly considered making his title President just to make it clear. *ponders*

I seem to remember it still being there the last time I got it, despite my already having legalized same sex marriage. It has next to no stat changes, if I'm remembering correctly, like 0.04% increase to inclusiveness and that's it.

The Cross And Davids Star wrote:Wait Vista is killing off his own people? How did I not learn of this until now?

Yeah. His monarchy was all killed by radical nationalists (Ms. Spelma secretly approves of the nationalists killing the monarchy due to her generally strong dislike for monarchies), which lead to the remains of his government passing a law that gave his police and military free reign to hunt the other members of the nationalist group down.

I'm opposing it and putting significant political pressure on the remains of his government, even just mobilizing my Global Theater Command, and Axel is asking that we all come to a diplomatic solution.

"Seconds ago: Following new legislation in Percyton, inter-species marriages are ignored by the government."

That kinda makes sense. We haven't had an actual human-engine relationships yet, but if it does happen, I suppose I would allow it. As long as it doesn't interfere with the engine's work, of course.

Edward: Although so far the only humans who seem to 'fall in love' with us are crazy-obsessive stalkers. I had one a few years back: She was a teenage girl from America who would track me and proclaim her 'love' for me every place I went. She said she was just 'trainspotting', but if she's trainspotter, then I'm the Queen of Spain.

5 years from now, Sul and Kal live together. Sul asks Kal to hang a shelf for him, and Kal says he'll get around to it.

A year and a half pass. Sul comes home to find that Kal has finally hung the shelf, despite the fact that Sul has since painted the room and the shelf no longer matches.

Sul says they'll just take it down; he has some of the paint left over, so they'll just patch and touch up the holes. But instead of there just being small holes from the mounting bracket, there is a huge hole the shelf previously covered up.

Asked about it, Kal explains that the hole is from when the hammer "exploded and died" while he was hanging the shelf.

It is written.

Goooooddd Afternoon baseball fans! This is your host, Dimas Souza reporting live from RSBR on Channel 121.3.

It's nearly baseball season in Russkov again, so break out the peanuts and gloves. Last seasons Red Classic was a show for the ages, as the Moscow Bears won their first Series in nearly THIRTY years! They manged to keep the rival San Quentin Padres bats quiet, recording a 6-2 victory in Game 4. This historic sweep was 70 years in the making as the Bears haven't won since 1992, while the Padres are still winless following their last crown in 1968. This year looks to be a good one as the Stalliongrad Colts and the Kiev Thunder look to once again dominate the league. Schedules, Odds, and more will be posted soon!

In other news, engines from Percyton have joined our baseball crowd, and we hope to see other world leaders join as well. If your interested in supporting the Russkov Soviet Baseball Association (RSBA), and a team of your choice.. simply send a telegram too:

B) No more than 220 ships in total, preferably use less.

C) Have sensible limits on your aircraft. Larger countries can field a bit more but please don't go over the total number of Military Craft the US has, excluding Trainers too since that tends to give people the wrong impression on numbers.

D) No more than 11-12 carriers (The US has 11 supercarriers, they also have some much smaller carriers but people conflate the two to give themselves more carriers than is really possible.

Beyond that, there really isn't anything but caps on the numbers of tanks or vehicles, keep it in line with the US at most, and try to be open to criticism when it inevitably comes.

B) No more than 220 ships in total, preferably use less.

C) Have sensible limits on your aircraft. Larger countries can field a bit more but please don't go over the total number of Military Craft the US has, excluding Trainers too since that tends to give people the wrong impression on numbers.

D) No more than 11-12 carriers (The US has 11 supercarriers, they also have some much smaller carriers but people conflate the two to give themselves more carriers than is really possible.

Beyond that, there really isn't anything but caps on the numbers of tanks or vehicles, keep it in line with the US at most, and try to be open to criticism when it inevitably comes.

I'll create a separate page on my factbook later, but here's what's in my head now.

780,000 Personnel

95 Ships (7 Carriers)

370 Aircraft

And roughly 5,000 armored vehicles (ranging from MBT's to armored cars)

Details will be hammered out

Looks alright, I recommend staying away from things like the T-14 by the way.

Aye. The T-14 is actually for home defense. Only 5 are active in the capital. But I'll drop em if need be xD

That kinda makes sense. We haven't had an actual human-engine relationships yet, but if it does happen, I suppose I would allow it. As long as it doesn't interfere with the engine's work, of course.

Edward: Although so far the only humans who seem to 'fall in love' with us are crazy-obsessive stalkers. I had one a few years back: She was a teenage girl from America who would track me and proclaim her 'love' for me every place I went. She said she was just 'trainspotting', but if she's trainspotter, then I'm the Queen of Spain.

I'd drop it, thing is pretty much guaranteed to be a papar-tiger made with lies and make-believe.

Example: The Japanese Type 10 is about Ten Mil a pop, the T-14 is literally 3.7mil.

Alright. I'll decommission them in RP. I'll have a single one in front of the capital. No engine or ammo. A decorative piece.

We had our own revolution however our socialists branched off to form Ædenism; a good portion of our population still use the term Old Socialism in reference to Non-Ædenist Socialists and near-Communists. It's not an insult btw just a little depth I wanted to add

Aww, but even if it does escalate I'm only going to be funding and not getting directly involved. I mean if you do because of your Friedensreich alliance I will but not much else can drag me in

Bought a new book which should be arriving this weekend. It's a personal account by Reginald Fleming Johnston of his time at the imperial court of the last emperor of China. He was the emperor's friend and adviser.

We made a few other custom guns, but the AK was an experiment I wanted to try. My favorite project was a WWII BAR turned into a heavy tripod MG.

Oh well I am not a lawyer, but if you did it under supervision from local authorities I think it was ok.
