I have now red a lot of stuff that has been posted here, and I must admit that I would like the strategy to change a little bit in the upcomming session.

After the last nuclear exchange I belive that preparation for high-tech warfare beween states and optimizing industrial growth is not the way to proceed. I am sick of paperwork and table reading. I believe that shorter more intense lives will bring back the spirit of the game and hopfully occational acts of cooperation.

We should put our dreams of world domination behind us an focus on how we can SHAPE the chaotic world around us and CREATE a perfect community from scratch. If we join NDP and old the other fractions that were shaken, but not destroyed in the previous war, we will after a while be back to where we started, in a forever stalemate with other fractions. Wars will be fought, yes, but they will be short on end with a draw. Borders will be redrawn and player will after a while starts to loose limbs. But it will be the same old story over again.

I would like to play something new and disturbing.
People are pretty depressed after the last war and looking for something meaningful in their miserable lives. Since TV and quality booze is in short supply today, that something could be RELIGION. I believe we should start a doomsday sect, complete with brain-washing units and human sacrifices based on the old Mexican cultures in a slightly more modern world featuring the best parts of Pol Pots Cambodia.

The plan will probably take 5-10 years to complete.
*) We need to find remote areas suitable for farming and set up a community there
*) Refugees, there should be plenty of them now, will form the basis for the working force, and after a while also contribute in the armed forces
*) A city name like UTOPIA will be chosen for advertisement purposes. Promises of shelter and food will also be useful. The only requisite for accepance will be total submission to OUR GODS.
*) Nobody leaves the community. Everybody works hard and are happy. Otherwise they disappear
*) The people will of course be subject to long term brain washing. Spectacular "miracles" toghether with systematic starvation (the carrot and stick approach following Pavlos principles) will over years make them religous and fanatic.
*) Our culture is cruel. Humans must be sacrificed to please the Gods, and the taking of prisoners of war to be used in religous rituals is considered a most coragous act by our servicemen.
*) Although not neccesarily militarily super-strong, we can still acheive considerable success on the battlefield due to FEAR of sacrificial death in the civilial population, and respect of our soldiers fanatical moral in our enemys armed forces.
*) Military strategy should be based on accumulating farm land and workers (for brain processing) in rural USA.
*) Politics however should always be directed inward. We will have no diplomatic ties with other fractions. Trade is not neccesary, we obtain our wealth by plundering. This strategy will probably have to revised after some while, but a key to initial success is ISOLATION and FEAR.
*) Culture is important. The peaople of our happy society should get used to perform strange rituals, learn a new invented language and e.g always shave their head. This will, over time, strengthen the effect of the brain washing.

Leadership:
This is of course the difficult part; one high priest should be suffient. The rest of us could be simple priest. Needless to say, in such a community all community act, including war, is based on religion.
Since I assume all players want to be high priest in such a beautiful community, this could be resolved be the tossing of a dice, or a submission fight between the players. I belive such a decision is far too important to be subject to democracy. Players that are weak and feel that they don't have the stomach for such a great undertaking can of course choose not to accept the position of high priest.

Although there are still some details that are not worked out in the plan, I believe I have clearly outlined a sketch for you.
It is now your decision whether you want to continue with the old low key high-tech warfare we have been doing for years or if you would like to shape the world around you and create a culture of your own.

Well, while I certainly agree with the last speaker, Mr. Sanchez, on some points, I find most of his so-called strategy to be utmost nonsense. How can any cult with respect for itself deal with only one high priest?! And how come he doesn't plan for forced mating? I say this man is a delusional megalomaniac, not fit for governing his own shoes.

But as I said, I do agree on some points. We should strive to make the better of the situation without ending up in the same boring place we were. Bullet-time is of essence!

[General Pain]

Good to see you are as insane as u used to be he he.

I allready have a growing religion so that part is allready covered. But as stated earlier. I think we must fin a new place with some resources (food/gas/iron/salt) take it and prosper. Untill we find this "holy land" we keep our keeps if possible try to group our forces to conquer our enemy.

Resistance is futile-style hehe

As for who's incharge I suggest we each cast one vote (yes/no or ai/ney)(etc) and we act on those decisions.

The holy land should be nuke free. (as in not hit by a nuke - we can offcourse bring nukes into it)

that sort of command has been tried historically -what you need that THEY didnt use , is a punishment for those who back out of a decision that has been "ayed" in from a majority . ( Is this proposal coming because you are behind in the polls ,Pain ..he?

HE??

EY?

The statement made by Rupert Willis ,CEO of what is left of the WillisCorporation, was a sharp rebuttle .Confronting Sanchez on key issues such as strategy and selfrespect it also had personal characterization .Many experts now believe that the election is moving in to a phase of smear campaigning. This reporter believes that there will be skeletons brought out from the closets in th edays to come .The biggest scandals of this campaign are still budding at this point .Who knows what dark secrets might be brought to light in this political climate.

Yes, so far we agree. But how you are going to reach the above mentioned goal(s) with your plan of creating a bloodthirsty cult is beyond me. One way of drastically altering gameplay and thereby increasing dicerolls directly related to player character actions is to form a sort of mercenary force and rent ourselves out to the highest bidder, if we wish to cooperate. I have already started to set up a firm of this kind, and like all new businesses it will take some time before breakeven. Nonetheless, this will result in a less stressful situation for me and the family on DeCorba castle. Also, and this is important, it will result in more hands-on action time for the Fieldmarshal, fighting is after all his biggest passion besides his pompous hobbies

PS: I do not receive emails from you guys anymore, whats up with that? I know they´re being sent, they just dont arrive..NSA has us by the shorthairs

[Sanchez]

Starting a mercanary operation is hardly what I call a radical change of playing. It is an easy way of starting a session whiout the need for a strategy and will probably result in the deaths of some NPCs, I agree, but whithout a common goal we will quickly be stuck in the old pattern, where the only goal is personal wealth and power again. This inevetable leads to large omounts of paperwork and boring administration. We need something to pool our resources for, and we need something MEANINGFUL to spend our income on. In such a disillusioned world I believe RELIGION is the most meaningful, and most attractive, common denominator of all people. The world we live in will, if we act now before it starts to re-sivilise, is a gigantic market for cheap labour and has the potential for a strong power base.

WE CAN CHANGE THE SIVILISATION OF THE WORLD!

This is our chance to change history. The fiifth world war could be the turing point where the old wastern sivilisation collapsed and a stonger, more adaptive and more cruel sivilisation raised up from the rubble.
We can lead that sivilisation!
We can reject the old culture that brought such devastation to our forefathers!
We can make the people of the world worship OUR GODS!

We will have to wait for the next world war before we get such a chance again! We must act now!

The details of this undertaking can of course be discussed: The leadership structure and the issue of forced mating to mention two.

As I said earlier, not all the details have been worked out, and I would very much like a discussion on that.

But a "let's go out in the forrest and find someone to shoot approach" will not anything to the game.

Let us pray...
