Debatable/Taken by default/Given because I need the superpowers to be under a player's control:
YLC: USA (For now, I don't really understand why no-one else wants the tied-most powerful country in the world)
Iskander: USSR
Kazaar: East Germany

Undecided (I'm tempted to make one of them France but its their call):
Beefy.
Blackadder.

Well then, I'm going to have to ask for a few more players to join and take France, India, West Germany and Great Britain, then I can start work on the players goals and find a way to represent the amount of troops each country has.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I would have taken Great Britain, but when I wasn't under the contested areas for it I thought it was off limits.

[Greyblades]

Well do you want it?

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Yeah I will take them, Britain's my favorite country.

[Greyblades]

I know that there has been a bit of confusion about the alliances in the game so I went and found a map showing the main alleigences of 1980:

Somehow, I think the non-Nato players are screwed.

[Greyblades]

Thats is why I want more players...

[TheFlax]

In the case of NATO allies, the word "ally" should be used lightly.

I am surprised to see no one is playing India in that list.

[navarro951]

Thats is why I want more players...

Well can i have Cuba? thats all i want is Cuba, no secondary choices.

[Greyblades]

...Sure, why not? Just dont go american friendly.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Well I did say "allied at game start"... that doesn't mean that things will stay as they are.

[Greyblades]

Alas that is also a problem; neither side will disband in fear that the other side will take advantage and pick them off one by one.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

So what are we going to do about the British dependent territories? and Beijing?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Alas that is also a problem; neither side will disband in fear that the other side will take advantage and pick them off one by one.

That's OK. They can count on China. We're totally insane and we are feeling trigger happy today.

[navarro951]

...Sure, why not? Just dont go american friendly.

O kno ill stay to the historical truth of things. I look forward to when i can finally start my mafia game...The Cuban Revolution hehe.

[TheFlax]

So what are we going to do about the British dependent territories? and Beijing?

There aren't many of those left in 1980 though. What of Beijing?

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

ohh, sorry not bejing, I meant to say Hong Kong.....

[Askthepizzaguy]

HONG KONG IS CHINA! TAIWAN IS CHINA! TIBET IS CHINA!

Nobody touches China land.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

In September 1982, the Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher travelled to Beijing to negotiate with the Chinese government on the future of Britain's last major and most populous overseas territory, Hong Kong.[169] Under the terms of the 1842 Treaty of Nanking, Hong Kong Island itself had been ceded to Britain "in perpetuity"

wondering about this.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Well it not 1982 yet. And we claim Hong Kong. You have problem with that, you take it up with Fat Boy, pet name for nuclear missile. You can also have Little Man, Short Man, Hot Wok, and Peking Duck. Collect all 5 missiles and get 6th one free.

Don't mess with China.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

exactly, its not 1982 so Hong kong is now ours.
face it china all your bases are belonging to us!

[Askthepizzaguy]

Don't make me point Long Dong Silver at you. It may be small but it pack serious punch.


It named after Dong Zhuo. Look it up.

[TheFlax]

Well Hong Kong should be in British hands in 1980. As I understand it was leased to them for 99 years, and in 1997 (I think) it returned to Chinese control. Anyways, I don't think it is a major consideration for this game, although it makes a good point of contention for RP.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Shut up, history boy! Hong Kong belong to China!

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I can already tell this is gonna be fun!

you may have nukes, but mess with us and I promise you the UN will be giving you a very STERN talking to!!!!!!

[Askthepizzaguy]

No it won't. We part of UN. I promise many deadlock. And if you don't like it, just remember, all your nukes are belong to us and all your weapons are made in China!

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

are we seriously gonna nuke each other into oblivion because of a single city?
and we decided to stop buying our goods from china, everything they make seems to fall apart very easily.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Maybe so, but you can't stop eating Chinese food. If it weren't for China, you would be stuck eating English food. I tasted English food once, and I must say, I would rather eat my meals off of the hind end of a boar that wallows in its own feces.

And yes, China cares very deeply about its own people. It none of your concern. Go away and take your journalist with you. Now, we show image of our Glorious Leader, and you should all line up and kiss his dumplings. It great honor.

[White_eyes:D]

should China really have nukes??? (Greyblades you should make a DEFCON system....so this way...guys can't start nuking at the start....I would)
