No, there is no turn order I just need people to post a slightly less number of times per quarterly update. FOr example a 4 lined post just to accept one trade agreement to me is pointless, it takes time to receive the message and it makes more for me to read. A limit to 3 posts means each one has more info and makes my job easier.

EDIT: I also am starting to write the first quarterly update so expect a couple of events and trade affecting GDP will come in at the end of the year. Also for people saying they are waiting for their ships to land that is going to be in the update after this. Getting thousands of people to just up sticks and move to a land they have never heard of is a huge order and it would take a while to sail, for captains who most will never have made the journey before.

Is it just me or have the quick check stats not been adjusted?

[gowia]

Yeah I am currently doing some more of that work...I have around 4 20 page booklets and a test paper to finish by tonight:L I shall update them in the next half an hour.

Oh, look at that, UKIP. Thanks Gowia...

Hey, they are popular here in the UK (For some reason) so now they are popular with you!;)

[darkwolf687]

Grr, damn populist movements, grumble grumble

I really set myself up for that when I made a quasi UK and started trying to trade with the mainland, I should of seen this coming xD

[gowia]

Haha it's fine, as you did say in your post burning villages and killing support is not smart and those movements don't survive very long...UNLESS THEY HAVE THE SUPPORT OF THE GODS!...which they dont:L

Haha yeah, basing off the UK is not smart since we seem to be one of those nation made up of lots of different invading cultures and yet think there is a 'Pure British' :)

[Iluvatar]

I personally like SOME of UKIP's policies involving European relations, but otherwise they seem pretty xenophobic.

[darkwolf687]

Indeed, hopefully it will crash and burn before I have to spend too much resources on it.

Yup. Hell, we're made up if three and a bit countries with their own cultures, and each country has regions with their own culture, then we have invaders bringing their culture, then immigrants bringing theirs etc. And some how we still think theirs some form of pure British identity xD
And the Yanks think we all talk the Queens English, because as you know all us British are so very posh, white and upper class., I wonder how the hell THAT one started xS

Edit: UKIP's are saying some of the right stuff IE: EU referandum, slow immigration, but most of their policies are seem pretty backwards IE: Privatise the NHS. They don't seem xenophobic to me, but their policies are laughable. Seems any party that will slow immigration is either full of racists (BNP) or full of clowns (UKIP)

[gowia]

Mmmm European relations are something that definitely need changing but to pull out completely of the EU may not be the best option. We have already pulled out of the Bailout scheme so we arent supporting greece etc. anymore and I believe foreign aid will be being cut again soonish...the main problem is our kaws being dictated by EU laws and that is where the revised relationship with the EU is needed. Admitadly pulling out of the EU would slow immigration... Privatising the NHS is possibly one of the worst idea's they have said, despite our bitching the NHS is a great thing and we are incredibly lucky to have it. TO privatise it takes away what makes it great.(In my opinion)

[darkwolf687]

I agree, though I'd like someone to tackle the immigration problem. Immigration is great, but there is a critical mass and it makes it too easy for those who want to exploit the system or threaten the country to come in. That said, its refreshing to see that we're one of the few countries in Europe with relatively healthy demographics, and that's in part due to immigration.. And when we want to deport a certain terrorist, how about we get to deport him to the EU country he is appealing to instead of having to support him while he appeals the case to every damn court in Europe -.-

Too right, we'd end up like America, while you have to pay for all your health care. Privatising the NHS would be a huge step backwards.

[gowia]

There are a lot of pros and cons on both sides and it simply weighing up which overall benefits the country the most. (I say simply but I know it is not simple.)

[Vinsanity]

Disregard post

[MrFoxNews]

Can we put a map on the quick stat post?

That would be very convenient.

I shall do that now.

Gowia, you forgot to add the 10 galleys I brought off Drakran

Holy shit., what happened to my GDP, I thought a few villages were burnt down, not a few cities, dat production loss 0.0 A 12.5 Billion (Or 13 bn if you take away the growth) hit from a few villages. Well shit, I'm out...

I admit that I do need to take the time to look over some things and do a bit of accounting...

However, I'm more then happy to remind you that New Drakran is always open to having a new trade partner.

[darkwolf687]

Well, from the looks of things trade must be crushing my GDP rather than helping it haha

Odd though, I appear to be the only sheet to have ships under construction and the only sheet to have dropped in GDP. Are you treating GDP as available funds Gowia?

Seeks Corustaria is going to end up as the third world before too long xD

[Bright_Ops]

Part of the reason I need to do some accounting for my faction; I believe he has only made updates your yours Darkwolf because you're the only one who really lists their expenses clearly.

[darkwolf687]

I see, though all my expenses haven't been factored into that figure if its so, and I find it hard to believe I could have taken a 13 billion hit to my total production unless GDP is being treated as available funds. Maybe he just hasn't counted the trade I did with you yet?
But even then there's inconsistencies.. Though I'll put that down to the rebuilding of the villages.
The figures for me stumped, looks like I'm gonna have to wait for Gowia to clear up what's going in, because I think I may be achieving Weimar levels of economic volatility xD
