Precipice of War - Oh Woe the West

TheEvanCat said
Probably not. It won't have that kind of power. Isn't it 3rd International?

It is and it's pretty much under developed as fuck.

[Vilageidiotx]

Yeh, if you do Mexico you'll want to do more then just the boring old "We got 1000 tanks ready to expand our super-economy past the border against the enemy" types of things.

I mean, it is Mexico! There is so much more to do there!

[Dinh AaronMk]

Yeah, like this.

[The Nexerus]

How did the U.S. become communist?

[Pepperm1nts]

It's socialist, I think.

[Vilageidiotx]

It's... complicated.

We've changed it a lot, so now there is just a socialist political party in office at the moment, but in the original the USA became the USSA and was pretty bluntly communist.

The history of North America in Precipice is crazy. I mean, really really crazy. So much that we basically had to rewrite the entire thing.

So much that we basically had to rewrite the entire thing.

And it's still crazy.

[Nova]

Whoops.

[Dinh AaronMk]

It works though.

I think the premise with it now is that they elected a hard-liner democrat who was pretty much in the socialist side of his party, or something. Particularly after the perceived faults of the conservative party before him. And I guess needing allies they joined the Third International.

Shit was controversial and other things happened and now their membership was revoked.

[TheEvanCat]

I think I may have the clearest history of all.

[Pepperm1nts]

I think Ethiopia's pretty clear. Maybe clearest. China would be clear if it wasn't doing so many things all the time.

[Vilageidiotx]

Eh, I think i've just settled into the fact that this is fiction a little more comfortably then some. If you showed my stuff to an African historian, they'd probably pull their hair out.

[Pepperm1nts]

I think something similar can be said for all of us.

[Vilageidiotx]

Cultural walls will do that.

And we even set a Russian to play as the United States, making it where nobody knew what they were doing.

[TheEvanCat]

And I'm a super-Americanized great grandson of an Armenian immigrant and his Syrian wife.

[Dinh AaronMk]

I am the great grandson of a Polish immigrant.

Therefore I am certified to writing a large portion of the world's population.

Ere'day be a Polish sale.

[Nova]

Well, with the amount of Ethnicities I have in my blood, I'm qualified to write as most of Europe, I just want to stay away from it, who knows what I'd end up breaking next.

[Vilageidiotx]

Judging strictly from the last names of of grandparents and great grandparents, I'd have to say that I am mostly from various parts of the British isles, as all the last names are either English or Irish or Welsh.

But the patrilineal lines of both my mother and father have been in the Americas since the 17th century, so I guess that makes me really goddamned 'Murican.

[TheEvanCat]

Ain't no ethnic identity like an Armenian ethnic identity, because most of us died and the rest are hanging on to whatever lineage they have left.

[Chapatrap]

My family is basically up the RA, god save the queen, sacre bleu and chutzbah.
