I Just got this Telegram.... Hehehe I love this stuff! From: The Holy Empire of Babble

It has come to our attention that your nation is trafficking in illegal furniture restoration. As a neighboring country, we are concerned that your furniture activities are having a negative impact on our flourishing and highly lucrative trout farming industry. A warning: if you do not cease and desist this outrageous and unethical trade in armoires and occasional tables, we may be forced to take military action against you.

So when do we declare war on the rest of the socialist nations and take over the UN?

"So when do we declare war on the rest of the socialist nations and take over the UN?"

War? err we surrender!

[Frapster]

I"m actually considering dropping out of the UN. Particularly if it continues to soften my country and prevent me from dropping all social/welfare programs and moving towards corporate run government.

This was my Telgram to Babble:

To the Noble and Sovereign Nation of The Holy Empire of Babble:

In regards to your message dated February 17th 2003 which is as follows:

"It has come to our attention that your nation is trafficking in illegal furniture restoration. As a neighboring country, we are concerned that your furniture activities are having a negative impact on our flourishing and highly lucrative trout farming industry. A warning: if you do not cease and desist this outrageous and unethical trade in armoires and occasional tables, we may be forced to take military action against you."

The Nation of Brie Eating Monkeys has convened an Emergency session of our Dept. of Cheese and Surrendering and in a unanimous decision we the Nation of Brie Eating Monkeys do hereby surrender to The Holy Empire of Babble as of February 15th 2003!

Please accept this wonderful basket of assorted cheeses and "whines" as compensation for any trouble we the Nation of Brie Eating Monkeys has caused your most Noble land.

Thank you

FYI - we recently had quite a struggle between two of our member nations who were both competing for the position of UN delegate. The Free Republic of Palm usurped the Land of Liberty - but the situation remains fluid. A couple of endorsement by our new members could easily change our representation. And if I recall - FRoP is out for 2 or 3 days.

Bump for later read...

I always thought you spent your time more constructively,
even on the recreational/humor threads.

I always thought you spent your time more constructively, even on the recreational/humor threads.

Hadn't heard tell one way or the other - I've withheld judgement until I get a better look at it.

Heheheh I just got this telegram:

The Holy Empire of Babble gives our most grateful thanks to your recent diplomatic surrender and gift of fine cheeses and spirits. Our trout farming industry can once again prosper as we look towards a burgeoning private sector in fish trade. Since our two nations have come to such an amicable arrangement, we will also now release the large population of badgers that we unceremoniously abducted from your country recently in an attempt to leverage our earlier position. We hope you find them unharmed and in a better mood.

Once again, we thank you for your gifts (the '98 shiraz was especially nice) and we look forward to a relationship of civility and peace between our two nations.

Regards,

I predict much wasted time on this game in my future!

[discostu]

Ballywick is in. Who'd a thunk deforestation would threaten chiggers?

Well let us know when you think you have it all figured out.
I'm afraid this alternate reality is a little too strange for me to decipher.

[Frapster]

There's not that much to decipher. The game is pretty straightforward although it has a liberal slant to it. It's not very complicated and most people will drop it after a few weeks (if not sooner).

[T. P. Pole]

You forgot to mention that the "issues" start to repeat themselves pretty quickly...

[Frapster]

Issues can and do repeat themselves quickly. I suggest people set their issues to 1 per week day in their settings so as to not run through all the issues too quickly.

The Republic of Biker Hooligans demands admittance into the Alliance of Freepers!

(We wanted to be a 'Rougue Nation' but we were kinda drunk when we filled out the application.)

We'll have a kegger party to celebrate. Bud Light for everyone!

[uglybiker]

Okay. We sobered up and figgered out how to change the name.

This country's weird! Got alotta work to do!

[Frapster]

Yep - it's pretty funny what happens as you make your decisions along the way (or frustrating depending upon your temperament).

[Bikers4Bush]

Did anyone else try and log in this morning only to find that their natuion doesn't exist?

[Frapster]

No - I didn't see that. Did your nation disappear?
