Splinter thread from player logs of 2050 which deals with the created idea of the EA wars.  This thread will be used to compile a narrative that will then be used for a full-fledged forum game.

So what's the best way to go about this? I'm thinking we all take a post to write out our service records, and compile the history we have so far to get the ball rolling. If you think this is a good plan, I'll write out my bio in an edit to this post. Otherwise, well it's hard to say :

I would say that is the best option currently available at the current time.

My entire family died to the war, I soon started developing new viruses against EA. Least to say, tanks could no longer think, and EA sites were to vulgar to stand.

I think that time measurement convention might be a bit harsh, I agree with the need to develop a usefull timescale, but can we clean that up a bit?

[My Name is Immaterial]

Sure. Just wanted to translate military time into dates and express dates without referring to the Gregorian calendar since we haven't decided upon an official start date to the war.

[NullForceOmega]

Well, that should be the next step, we need a start year, and an approximate Steam Day, I offer August 3, 2024.  Any other offers?

[My Name is Immaterial]

August is a good time to fight a war, but might I recommend sometime in April? The best time to fight is during summer, so a well planned campaign would be more likely to begin before the summer. I think they would have provided for heavy resistance, and a war lasting months, at least. Starting in late spring gives you all of the summer and the fall to fight.

[sackhead]

The sackhead memorial trust would like to post the following
This post is in memory of Saint sackhead, who as we all know at the height of the 2 days before EA's suposed release of "Star wars Battlefront 4 customizable wookies DlC " which after intercepting coded Ea messages turned out in reality to be an EA plan for a Deathstar like Super weapon . Saint Sackhead boarded this monstrosity alone and carried a special explosive device deep within the Deathstar  and after confronting the EA CEO detonated the device compleatly destroying the station along with himself. without his act of self Sacrafice the war may have had a very different ending and the battle to make good star wars games would most certainly have been lost.

As we all know this trust was set up to give aid to orphans and other innocent victims of the war  including financial support and producing a line of  sackhead action figures for underprivileged children, Free videogames and the popular animated cartoon series .

Let us remember his final worlds across the radiocom "Live long and pros.... no wait...may the force be with you"

their have been many reports of his force ghost appearing to people and giving them wise advise or just tricking them into getting lost in swamps.
let us now take time to remember saint sackhead and the rest of the fallen.


this is just a way to say i died in the war

[NullForceOmega]

How would you feel about June 5th? (we don't want to make EA look like military geniuses) With a retro-active declaration of war by the Resistance claiming the war began earlier?  I'm thinking that EA's policy of surprise buy-outs would lkely translate into a fetish for Ambush Tactics.  If that's no-go I can see a mid-to late April declaration.
As for timetable, we've established that the opening salvoes of the war took the form of surprise attacks on Steam and Kickstarter, if we call that June 5, then we should try to establish the Resistance's response or formal organization.
