Well, when the obviously SA side comes out, I'm reminded of your actual nationality.  I don't mean to say you sound American, it's just that I have this subconscious impetus to assume everyone I'm talking to online is American, unless I'm specifically reminded otherwise.  You'd think by now I would remember...

I haven't taken any offence, in case that's the impression I'm giving.

I have a tendency to assume people I'm engaging online are American too, unless they clearly display a very specific style, like Weissreich does.

EDIT: In fact, I view it as a compliment that my English skills appear good enough for such a mistake to be made.

Yeah, if you hadn't mentioned SA, I would have guessed either American or UK.  Though unlike PB, I would have leaned more towards the UK since I've noticed more Americans these days (save for the exceptions I've met on here and other exceptions) tend to use a lot of chat-speak in their writing.  Whereas I've really never met someone from the UK that doesn't write very concisely and eloquently...which is how you can come across sometimes, especially in debates. 

On a different note, I wish Student Loans would go away.  It's really quite a hassle trying to get them lowered to 0 for a while for fear of having to pay $350 a month when I don't even have an income flowing in just yet since I haven't started getting paid in my new job (my first paycheck isn't until Thursday, but it's a bi-weekly paycheck that's barely above minimum wage for Washington).

I haven't taken any offence, in case that's the impression I'm giving.

Kinda happy but also a little eh.

Perhaps that's a bit of a strong word. I mean, have we considered opening up very close relations with them, as they spawned out of Wintreath, and offering our own forum for them to use, should they wish to, and thus RP with us?

They don't seem to care to use a forum, and I think the forums were promoted to them when they were in the region...they pretty much seem to only use RMB.

There's also the downside of some recent posts on their RMB, the politest of which include "Haha, Wintreath is so stupid." I'd think that they would be opposed to colonization.

Yeah, plus the whole spam and spies thing kinda ruined aby chance of that. We don't need people like that here.

Heh. What'd they name themselves, out of curiosity?

Etrus

Etrus? As in the Etruscans? Let's start a puppet region called "Rome" and colonise them...

Haha...I think it's best if everyone just left everyone else well enough alone.

You say as you're trying to run a military operation

By everyone, I meant us and Etrus.

We have an ongoing military operation?

Nvm I checked the Civil Service.
