    I had origionaly planned that this would be a military/political game with each player as war leaders with the economy sorting itself out while the players had fun. Mainly I didn't have it originally because an economy would mean tripling the workload and I would have less less fun doing write ups and comparing tactics to see who wins. I don't know why but making inventive write ups seems more fun to me than actually playing Mafia.

    Although seeing as he's put so much thought into it I guess that we can put it in there. But your sorting it out!

    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

    Bah, good practice for my more indepth and longer running game

    Greyblades, you can handle everything after it goes through my numbers crunching - I am the machine, you are the interpreter.

    Of course, you will have to handle the Espionage and Sabotage numbers and orders - being a player means I shouldn't know about what I shouldn't know.

    That is a given.

    Hmph, seems that my PC is needing yet again a new motherboad because I forgot to vacuume the fans and a piece of metal (dont know what) got in and damaged the innards. Sorry if I cant have the map finalised until next week but I dont want to risk this damn fedora laptop exploding from trying to run photoshop.

    Of course Portugal is not communist? How could a country that was always based upon and instigated the high disparity of social and economical differences among its population ever become communist? It is against us! Our poor would never do anything to the rich! It has always been so! How could we change anything?

    In any case, I shall trade with the USSR or any other country on those fair trade deals. Vast amount of resources for us for our moral support (Which is the best thing you could ever get in the entire world) and some important resources.

    Curiously, not only does Britain produce little to no tea (It consumes it. Doesn't produce it. It'd be the same as saying that the USA could export large amounts of oil, just become they consume large amounts of it), but tea was introduced by who? (English Queen of the Portuguese Royal House - Catarina/Catherine de Bragança) Hehe, it always comes back to us.
    BLARGH!

    I am going to stop talking before I succeed in alienating all of my allies.
    (I know Britain doesn't produce tea, but I wasn't sure what Britain's good would be soooooo yeah.)

    I wasnt sure why you were talking about the USSR as your trading partner when YLC is the USA.

    SAS training? Best special forces in the world are trained by them and your allies could get an increase in Covert ops efficiency.

    In the end its down to YLC.

    The US does export large amounts of oil...and it produces enough to satisfy 2/3rds of the USA's needs. We do in fact, export it, and if I am not mistaken, to countries where they end up getting raided by Somalians...

    I can't disclose each persons Trade Good unless they specifically do so themselves, I mean I am not sure if I should - I am still working on one for each country. This is going to sound stupid, but does anyone have a current list of those taken?
