O counselors, devils and damned devil's kith and kin, secretaries to Lucifer himself. What the devil kind of knights are ye, that can not slay a hedgehog with your naked arses? The devil shits, and your armies eat. Ye shall not, ye sons of whores, make subjects of Ukrainian sons; we have no fear of your armies, by land and by sea we will battle with you, fuck your mothers. You Eastcheap scullions, Moulin Rouge wheelwrights, brewers of Bahnhof Zoo, goat-fucker of Alexandria, swineherds of BarTHelona, apes of Naples, Silesian thieves, catamites of Muscovy, hangmen of Constantinople, and fools of all the world and underworld, idiots before God, grandchildren of the Serpent, and the cricks in our dick.

Furthermore, we call for a censure of Joey_sucks by the mods. Speaking on behalf of myself, good sir, bite your tongue! Sincerely, Gerald Hoptiddles |

30 Mar 20 UTC | Spring, 1995: Committee Members of the UN Council on European Affairs, We regret to announce that we discovered the security of Turkish international relations had been compromised for a short period of time. Between August 1994 and May 1995, one or more foreign and/or domestic agents gained access to the mainframe of Turkish security communications. Many of you may have received communication from a person claiming a right to Ottoman Empire titles, using the name Gerald Hoptiddles. There is no person with clearance in the Turkish government known as Gerald Hoptiddles, nor is there a person with that name who has a rightful claim to any Ottomanic titles, defunct or active. We understand that this news may be distressing. Trust that the Turkish government is doing everything in its power to rectify any harm caused by this disruption. We have tracked all known communications from the group. To ensure a clean and quick resumption of secure communication, please send us any and all communication you may have had between the Turkish government and other European governments postdated to September 1994. Sincerely, Emir "Fatty Knuckles" Arslan Assistant Emissary to the United Nations Subgroup on European Affairs |

03 Apr 20 UTC | Autumn, 1995: You Egyptians are awfully sanctimonious for a country whose main industry--tourism--was built on the backs of slave labor. Moreover, you have been no strangers to conquest and subjugation of your less powerful neighbors in your thousands of years history. Indeed, do not Algerians, Libyans, Israelis, and Sudanese deserve freedom and not the oppressive yoke of foreign rule? Also, congratulations on your promotion former Colonel Gaddafi. |
03 Apr 20 UTC | Autumn, 1995: Meine Herrschaften, The civil war in Germany has been been put to a swift and righteous end and our government finds itself in such a position as to refocus its energies on external matters and foreign defence.

I started a new job like right as this game began and I've been training remotely and also covering someone else's position so it's been really crazy!

I have someone who could step in on my behalf but you could also definitely ask someone else! Thanks!! |
