Regarding the current secession movement

[Yelnoc]

I will gladly serve as a soldier in either side's army. Anybody recruiting?

Oh, you know I am

And that sounds like bundles of fun, Fritz.

Cathcon, such a grand scenario would never be possible. Even if the GM were to incorporate it into the game, there is no way that enough people would take it seriously and play along. Certainly the policy wonks would be all in a tizzy and the economics only people as well. Soon you got half the game playing Civil War Redux, and the other half going business as usuall.

Awww man! I was hoping to be part of one of the most epic events in all Atlasian history! It would be sweet to see ripple effects (I myself had planned on publishing "Cathcon's War Journal") and the like, plus Reconstruction. I guess not.

Watch your quote boxes, man!!!

It would be fun, I'll admit, but it just isn't practical.

Now a foreign war, might be. Fewer domestic disturbances, no treason trials and execution squad (just because the American Civil ended without these, doesn't mean Atlasia's would you know. ), and thus probably more cooperation as a result.

Now I'm debating the predicament. I already offered my services to Yelnoc, yet this could be a suitable  substitute. (granted, I don't get the pleasure of committing treason and fighting for Johnny Reb)

Follow your heart.

Man.
