翻得好饒舌

大意差不多是:不太滿意眼前的餐點，但還是吃下去了。

很不少句子直譯會不好表達，所以我就吃掉用自己的理解翻譯。

然後我們的報業...科科，我又TOP5啦!

晚宴邀請

我們的哥倫比亞兄弟和我們的盟友法國都具有相當挑剔的口味。
他們一直渴望著伊比利亞美食有相當長的一段時間了。
然而，他們的眼睛大於肚子(看的到吃不下)，我被他們的服務人員告知幾天後將有會有不少剩餘餐點，
而且如果我們有義務，我們會被邀請赴宴。

當然了，不接受來自朋友一起共餐的邀請是非常粗魯的，我們接受了。




現在，我喜歡來一點燒豬。
但你知道自己的心情是想來點不同的東西，這並不是在說甚麼，只是如果是你，想吃一樣的嗎？

嗯，我的心情就像是在早餐吃晚上的餐點，
而不是我真正想要的 - 比什麼都重要 - 一些煎培根。


我知道：在用餐時，如此激進的要求更動菜單是一個非常無禮的的行為。
拒絕你朋友們提供的菜單是一個很嚴重的侮辱。

因此，我們將等待我們的餐點，當哥倫比亞和法國完成後，我們將向他們舉杯，然後我們將再次飽餐一頓。



以下似乎為活動，懶靠不想翻。

Terms of Endrearment
If you missed Blande's article about this week's Harvest Festival events, do go give it a checkout. There's one competition, a Scavenger Hunt, that will award the winner ten gold. And it's important you hunt thoroughly, because one of the clues is in this paper right here.



I hear some dude and a dog are already hot on the trail.

And while the various activities presented have been enjoyable, and people have given good feedback, there's been a quiet cloud of dreariness collecting over the country. It's hard not to notice it and feel the grasp of its fatigue. The weary rains of autumn seem to have doused more than the fires of summer, but the kindling in our own hearts.

And sure, we've had small turnouts before in Country President elections. But these last three months, without a doubt, have been the lowest it's ever been. 549 people voted in September's election. That is the least it has ever been.

And yes, I know parties are consolidating for the winter months. Some shakeups with sixth parties have occurred, and many members have been shuffled about between the various top 5 to try and get parties in before the Congressionals. But I can't help but notice that this is the first time the Federalists have dipped below 200 members perhaps since their inception.

Now, I don't mean to be Mr. Doomandgloom, but it's hard to ignore these signs. These are the signs of our times, the terms of our endrearment, and we have to recognize them for what they are.



A big pile of poop.

I could spoonfeed you bullshit about Harvest Festival helping, or me seeing the strong activity of my own cabinet as a ward against our decline, but it simply isn't true. The simple fact of the matter is that this game is headed into a decline that we all knew was coming and there is nothing we can do to stop it. No amount of baby booms will stave it off, because the mechanics of the game itself aren't fun, and the community we've grown is partially entwined with them.

We who remain do so out of loyalty, out of dedication to our friends, and out of the shared communal watering hole we've made for ourselves. This is common ground, where friendships have been forged. And I, for one, will continue to enjoy it for however long that is.

Lest despair against the night, let us celebrate with light. Let us be kind to all (no matter who they be), let us attack and war with true invigoration, and let's find each other's reasoning for staying here. And just enjoy it.

Cus that's what games are meant for.

Next time, we talk about what interesting war looks like, and what surprises this old halfling still has for the country. Week is off to a muddied start, but we'll rally. Like we always do.
