Empires & Revolutions v3: 1900's edition - Games

Okay guys, I'll get this shit done tonight/tomorrow night/whatever. The point is that the ETA is 11:00 PM - 12:00 M Monday/Tuesday. I was going to get it done tonight but due to power flickers and my urge to help neighbors clean up their area (fucking storm...) I didn't get it done.

I have a map of 2104 [thumb]http://puu.sh/FhXX[/thumb]

What the hell is this

[QUOTE=DPennington;36590380]What the hell is this[/QUOTE] 2104

Ok so then What happened to the Sinai Why did Ireland conquer Europe

[QUOTE=DPennington;36590952]Ok so then What happened to the Sinai Why did Ireland conquer Europe[/QUOTE] Ireland didn't conquer Europe it was annexed.

Also why does the US have Baja California?

USA bought Baja and Jamaca. European Union becomes a country. China invades everything. Eurasian union formed. Democratic Islamists Union in Middle East (Turkey, Yemen) Isreal gets bigger. Revolution in Korea similar to the one in Berlin. That stuff.

Beginning to write the turn now.

Woo

I'm going to take a breather for an hour or two, play some Skate 2 or something but...IT WILL BE DONE.

A hour to two later... I want a pizza.

I have four turns left to write. I have to do a lot of things this morning but I should be able to get the turn done at around 2:00 PMish.

Well I got home later than expected. Writing the rest of the turn now. [editline]3rd July 2012[/editline] Oh by the way, I'm providing the first official look at where each nation stands in regards to economic, military, and internal strength. [editline]3rd July 2012[/editline] And one more thing, does anybody here even pay attention to the music at all whenever I post it? [editline]3rd July 2012[/editline] Sneak peak at rankings: [b]World Military Strength:[/b] [i]-Canada -Ethiopia[/i] [b]World Economic Strength:[/b] [i]-Canada -Ethiopia[/i] [b]World Internal Strength:[/b] [i]-China -Germany[/i] [editline]3rd July 2012[/editline] I'm vying for the record for most automerges.

I see a light at the end of the tunnel guys. I just hope it's not a train.

No. it's wrong. Wrong. ;_;

You know, it's a sad thing to be more politically unruly than fucking theocratic Ethiopia.

[U][B]Empires & Revolutions: Turn 3 1902[/B][/U] [B] Map: [/B][t]http://i.cubeupload.com/UWn1wF.png[/t][B] Commonwealth of Democratic Socialist Canadian Territories – DPennington (Ven Keao)[/B] [IMG]http://i.cubeupload.com/bxhWV2.png[/IMG] (Can I get a less grungy flag?) -Gas Mask designs are revised and are noticeably improved in their comfort and portability. -The first true magazine fed semi-automatic rifle is designed and tested. It has yet to yield favorable results in durability and accuracy but its firing rate is astounding. -Production on frigates and submarines is cut back, but only slightly so. The strain on the Canadian economy is lessened. -Funding is placed in the development of a new kind of artillery unit, one using explosive shells rather than cannonballs. It is currently still in the design stage due to the lack of ability to control the recoil and retain necessary propulsion. -Funding is placed in the development of a handheld weapon that can, quite literally, throw flames. The first prototype explodes in the user's face, killing him brutally. Designs are still being drawn up at this point. -Embassies are built for the following nations: United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Russia. All embassies are based in Ottawa. Ambassadors are invited from all four of those nations. -A mass shipment of Maple Syrup is sent to Italy for the low price of nothing. Italians everywhere are finding new ways to use Maple Syrup (Will provide list in Italy's turn). -A petition is sent to the United States to allow Canada to drill for oil in Alaska. -An offer is sent to Italy, Canada wishes to sell frigates and submarines to Italy. -A rail project begins, it is to connect all industrial and residential centers of Canada to eachother and possibly into the United States. -Small arms and riffled cannons are exported to a variety of smaller European and South American nations. -More mines are opened, increasing the demand for miners, increasing the amount of jobs available, all in all this was a very good idea economically. -Oil drilling is likewise increased. -The first off-shore drilling platform is built off of the western coast of Canada. This monumental event has sown the seeds for the well oiled age of the world. -The economy again improves dramatically and it is very safe to say that Canada holds the best economy in the world. [B]Japan – Crossu[/B] [IMG]http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/2523/japanflagk.png[/IMG] -The funding for improvements on Japanese rifles increases by a full 50%. This shockingly high increase pays huge dividends towards the effectiveness of the rifles but doesn't do the economy any good. The Japanese have created the first truly lightweight rifle, disposing of any usage of wood. Rifles are entire made of plastic and metal. Unfortunately the rifles aren't the most powerful but they still provide reliable accuracy and, of course, can kill. -A massive tank is designed, it is currently in prototype form. It is a heavy weight tanks designed for defense. It is very slow and cumbersome but is difficult to destroy (due in part to the sloped armor). A lightweight tank is also designed, using a much smaller base and a weaker cannon but it is capable of high speeds (relatively speaking) and good maneuverability. Yet another tank is designed, it is to be a tank destroyer. Sacrificing armor for speed and cannon strength, it is designed to be an “anti-tank tank” of sorts. All three tanks are currently being tested and are sure to be expensive. -Japanese Frigates are designed and the first one rolls off of the dock in Nagasaki. This singular ship has damaged the economy heavily. -Funding is placed in the design of fighter planes and bomber planes. Nothing practical has been designed yet. -A tax of .035 is placed on all sales, many citizens gripe about it but are reminded that it pays huge dividends towards the safety of Japan. -Propaganda is heavily distributed, patriotism is at an all time high. -Japanese imports to China seem to just disappear at the borders of China for no apparent reason at all. As a result, Japan is currently receiving no income for their exports to China. [B]United Kingdom – overpain[/B] [IMG]http://puu.sh/COIP[/IMG] -Funding is continued in the field of fighter planes. A prototype is finally developed and flown. It crash lands after three minutes, the pilot survived with minor injuries. It is thought to be a success and engineers begin diagnosing the issues of the design to improve the performance of the plane. -Investment is placed in the creation of kinetic bombs, for use on airplanes. Nothing has been created yet. -Gasmasks are created, they follow the design of the Canadian gasmasks heavily. -Italy and the United Kingdom join in an alliance. -Ambassadors are sent to Germany, requesting that they accept the non-aggression pact. Another ambassador is sent to France requesting a non-aggression pact as well. -An offer is sent to Ethiopia: Food, weapons, and money are given to Ethiopia in exchange for an alliance. -The government mandated holiday time is reduced to three weeks (a far more acceptable number). -Investment is placed in the betterment of the infrastructure of the United Kingdom, a great deal of the funding goes towards electricity. -A new fund is implemented that supports small and new businesses and favors them over big businesses. -Taxation of farmers is decreased, allowing more income for them and giving them more room to buy land and farming equipment. -A large project begins: the implementation of the telephone system. Once thought to be incredibly unnecessary by most, the telephone is quickly becoming a relied upon system in the United Kingdom. -London bids for the 1904 Summer Olympics. [B]Ethiopia – MountainWatcher[/B] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/IDU2C.png[/IMG] -A series of mysterious arrests occur. It is suggested that there is a group of vigilantes on the loose, or even perhaps a government sanctioned Secret Police. The Ethiopian government denies involvment. -Aid is requested from France and Spain. -Germany is thanked for its generosity, it seems that Ethiopia does not care about the possibility that Germany is not involved in the supplies. -Mining efforts further increase, the economy takes a dramatic upswing due to the influx of jobs. -Oil derricks are built in large amounts along with refineries. The economy further improves. -Scholars are hired from Spain and France to help educate the Ethiopian people and research new tools and weapons. -The tribal culture of Ethiopia begins being systematically destroyed. -The Ethiopians follow a developing trend, factory shifts. -Investment is placed in the improvement of infrastructure. While pricey in the short term, it will pay huge dividends in the long run. -The civilian populace calls for a response to the Italian armament of their colonies bordering Ethiopia. -Ethiopia's economy has now increased dramatically but is still at the bottom of the pile. [B]Chinese Empire – Ruskie[/B] [I](Don't worry, your secret mistake is safe with me)[/I] [IMG]http://puu.sh/CPpz[/IMG] -The Great Reform continues quite smoothly. -A great deal of scholars and scientists are heading to China at this point to assist in the improvement of China's technology and infrastructure. -A non-aggression pact is signed with Russia along with a trade agreement. -The infrastructure is further improved, allowing for quicker communication and trade. -Taxes are lowered, support for the current government improves and nothing happens to the economy due to the high amount of income from exports and production. -A thorough check is run to gauge the amount of corruption in the Chinese government, corruption is at an all time low but due to the purges there is a lack of experience in a lot of key parts of the government, especially at the military level. -The government is as westernized as it can be at this point. -Crime rates are at an all time low due to the fear of the so called “secret police”. -In all official Chinese documents the simplified Chinese writing is placed alongside the traditional alphabet. -An entirely new education system is implemented, China is quickly becoming an education powerhouse. -The empire is officially changed from the Qing Empire to the Chinese Empire. -Any parts of the government exclusively given to the Manchu peoples is opened to anybody. [B]United States of America – Yersinia [/B] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/8Tpi4.png[/IMG] -A modernization project begins. -The United States already has rifled weaponry. -A new design is tested, a clip-loaded semi-automatic rifle. It will take awhile to create a reliable and accurate semi-automatic rifle. The bolt-action rifle is still the weapon of choice in the United States military for the time being. -Funding is placed in the development of a more efficient diesel engine, estimates put a new version of a diesel engine at one year. -The border to Mexico is armed and reinforced. -The United States begins producing a fleet of Frigates and Destroyers, putting a large strain on the economy but not near enough to actually damage it due to the vast resources. -Alliances are offered to the following nations: Canada, United Kingdom, Brazil, Germany -Child Labor is made illegal, women replace the children in the factories as a result. -Following the growing trend, the United States implements a shift system at the factories. -A vast amount of power plants, factories, railway lines, mines, and oil wells are built all across the United States. The economy jumps and America assumes its place near the top of the world economically. -E Pluribus Unum becomes the official motto of the United States. -A law is barely passed that enforces the Separation of Church and State. All politicians are forced to leave religion out of their decisions. Any decision or vote that is blatantly influenced by religion awards the politician a “strike”, three strikes and the politician in question will not be allowed to run for office again. The law is in review in the Supreme Court. -Tax exemption is revoked for churches and religious organizations. This is also being reviewed by the Supreme Court due to the controversy involved. -The upper class is taxed a higher amount, enforcing the equality of taxation based on the percentage of income. -A large crackdown begins on the illegal gun trade. -The acquirement of weaponry becomes easier for law abiding citizens. Due to the influx of the purchase of weapons, the government sponsors a training course for $40.00 that will provide a rifle and ammunition and will train a gun owner in the workings of a weapon. [B]Italy – Liem [/B][I]Sorry, I need another flag from you, can you provide something more suitable? [/I] -A massive expansion project begins with the military. New units are commissioned, training time is doubled, and reinforcement begins in the Italian colonies. -Spare armies are sent to the colonies around Ethiopia, the reason for this is yet to be seen. -A new alliance is formed, the League of Nations is formed with all allies of Italy. -Embassies are opened in the United Kingdom and Canada. -Global Trade is openly endorsed by Italy. -Massive amounts of Maple Syrup are imported. A variety of uses is seen. (Maple Syrup Pizza, Maple Syrup flavored wine with maple syrup infused cheese, maple syrup coated pasta, maple syrup spice, etc...) -Pizza and Cheese production is stepped up and the products are exported more heavily. -The state begins constructing more farms to produce more cheese and creating more factories and restaurants to produce more pizza. [B]Ottoman Empire – Daniel Smith[/B] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/3ux0D.png[/IMG] -The military begins to “westernize”, meaning modernization of tactics and weaponry. -An alliance is requested with the United Kingdom in hope of them joining forces against the kingdoms of Najd and Hejaz. The invasion plan is for it to begin in three to five years. -The Russian wood exports are used to create paper currency on a larger scale. The barter system is all but gone at this point. -Freedoms granted to the European states are granted to the Ottoman Empire in an attempt to catch up the the European standard of life. -Public Schools are built more frequently to help the education of the Empire. [B]Austria-Hungary – KriegsMar1ne[/B] -The German Mauser rifle is copied and reproduced in Austria-Hungary. It is further improved by implementing a ten round clip. It also holds improvement in accuracy and durability. -Mustard Gas is further developed. -A prototype of an armored car is developed based off of a farming tractor. Its speed is horrendous at the given moment. -A new plane design is drawn up and a prototype is created. It fails miserably. -The idea of a rocket is formed, so far there are no reliable designs. -Three railway guns are built, the massive expenditure damages the economy. -The novel idea of a Sniper squad is implemented. A Schwerner rifle with a telescopic scope mounted atop it provides great range and due to the accuracy of the rifle it proves greatly effective in testing. -The KMS Dreadnought comes off of the docks, mounted with six 12 Inch Guns and eight 9.2 Inch Guns, it proves to be quite the formidable ship. The expenditure further damages the economy. -The fleet is revamped with the building of a group of destroyers, light cruisers, heavy cruisers, and battle cruisers. The heavy expenditure here damages the economy even more, to a critical level. -Coal Mines are built in wide abundance. -Hospitals are built in all cities, vastly improving the quality of life in Austria-Hungary. -Iron mines are built in wide abundance. -Tungsten is found and “mined”. -An alliance is requested between Germany, Russia, and Austria-Hungary (I didn't receive confirmation from either...I didn't even receive a turn for Russia). -An alliance is presented to Canada. -Pro-military propaganda is heavily distributed. [B]France – FurFag (helluva name)[/B] [IMG]http://niggaupload.com/images/3iDoN.png[/IMG] -The French Military is currently at an average level in comparison to the other European nations. -France begins fortifying the border of Germany quite heavily. -A non-aggression pact is requested from: The Benelux Countries, Spain, Portugal as well as trade agreements and the abolishment (shut up Word, that is too a word) of tariffs. -The government is currently mildly corrupt but not enough to damage anything in its current state. [B]Germany – [Seed Eater] (FINAL TURN, YES!) [/B] [IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/38678023/GermanyFlag.png[/IMG] -The transition is slowed heavily but Berlin and Frankfurt continue to riot. There is even talk of an open rebellion in Frankfurt. -An incident occurs in Berlin in which ten protestors are shot after charging and beating the police force. -The economy continues to worsen (You need to take action). [B]I need flags people, you know who you are. Request alliances, trade, non-aggression pacts, etc by PM. Confirm them in the turn, if I get confirmation from all sides of it I will put it in the turn, otherwise it will go down as a request. Everybody is required to place a bid for the Olympics in one of their cities(unless they're currently at war or hosted in one of the previous two events in one of their cities) from this point forward. I will use a bracket and a series of coin tosses to decide the city that will be the host. If a city (example: Paris) wins, it will not be used for 12 years at least.

[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;36613063][IMG]http://i.cubeupload.com/eJ2pbg.png[/IMG] That American flag could use some redesign.[/QUOTE] No, he's been using DPennington. [editline]3rd July 2012[/editline] Never mind sending in your Olympic cities. Using a randomly seeded tournament bracket and a coin I've determined that England will host the Olympics. That means London. [IMG]http://i.cubeupload.com/xpcJhX.png[/IMG] England is at the bottom of the bracket, it didn't entirely fit the screen.

So I have to PM other members if I want to start an alliance with them?
