Recent Updates/Irish Settlement

Day 2,038, 09:46 • Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom • by Mr Woldy


Hello all!

I hope you are enjoying what is the spectacle of the war in the USA. I am glad we are involved, and have personally found it quite enjoyable so far. You would have noticed that during the war, Ireland have managed to put themselves back on the map. Extra resistance during our war with the USA was expected, and it was communicated to Congress before entering the war that it may become difficult to hold onto regions, however they seemed to agree with me that doing something different and fun would be worth it. So, amidst various RW’s we figured the easiest and most cost effective thing to do would be to either launch an NE proposal to regain any lost regions, which would involve pulling out of the TWO-USA campaign early, or to reach a peace settlement with eIreland.

After a Congress vote, I am quite happy to announce that a peace deal has been accepted. We have had a great time fighting with eIreland in the past, but in my honest opinion constant RW’s can begin to get somewhat mundane. Fun in this game depends on an equilibrium being regained, and a reset button being pushed. For now, the eUK can concentrate on helping TWO in the States and elsewhere, and President Sweet Drinker, or, Lord Sweet of House Drinker, Governor General of Ireland and general pretty decent guy, can troll Kurgan some more.

So, the terms of the deal, negotiated between myself and Sweet and with congressional feedback are as follows:

The eUK is to retain the regions of Mayo* and Shannon, thus keeping a fruits bonus.

The rest of eIrelands original regions are to be returned.

The eUK and eIreland shall maintain a NAP** until the end of the next Presidential term.

*Do not worry that this region is currently under RW, the eIrish military will assist us in keeping it, as it connects the fruits to our capital.

**There has been some concern over the fact that eIreland breached an NAP in the past, it is widely accepted that this was an individual mistake by a bozo named MUFC, and the current president assures me it will be upheld.


My favourite fruit is the tomato! Post your favourite fruit below

Other Updates

Fightin’ wise: The Federal Military Scheme is underway, and we are just waiting for one or two more MU’s to finish considering whether they shall participate before setting up the forums and IRC room for members. It doesn’t have an official name yet, which will be the General Staff’s first decision, though I am leaning more and more towards United Kingdom Federal Units, or; UK - FU. Either way, I am dead eager to get the plan working whilst the war with the USA rages on. So far, a good number of MU’s have shown both interest and support, and hopefully we will yield good results over the next few months, as we drive up activity and IRC presence.

If you have applied for a training loan, you are in luck, as the admins have a sale for them. Everyone who has applied will be contacted by the MoD or myself over the next two days to set you up with the funds and a repayment scheme, so don’t worry if you haven’t heard back or don’t know how much you are getting just yet.

Domestics wise: The MoHA is arranging some games and a ‘Redcoat week’ to go with our invasion, and yes it may include the long alluded to Civ tournament. They have been slightly set back by the resignation of the uMoHA for Entertainment, Moriarty, but Zap has been instructed to appoint a replacement as he sees fit.

Brief, but handy nonetheless.



Thanks,
