A new war is beginning!
I am now preparing for a new war to start. Forenia has been attacked by foreign invaders from Cannala, a nation of dirty pirates, who shelled the capital unprovoked with powerful battleships. These Cannalans will be played by people from another forum. The game will start approximately May 1st, if everything goes to plan.
First however, we have some preparations to make. I have proposed some
new rules for the game in the Arms Race Discussion Thread. Go catch up on that starting from the post I linked if you have suggestions or want to weigh in.
You may also be interested to know we have a new avenue for discussion: There is now a
Discord server dedicated to the Arms Race game. Aseaheru is hosting it, and there are public chat channels as well as chat channels which are private to each faction. Aseaheru, Zanzetzukan and I are admins and can assign people to factions. There are still some bugs to work out, and of course a Discord splits up the discussion a little bit and makes it hard to read back through old discussion, so this may be a temporary arrangement. Those of you who'd rather not join the Discord can rest assured that design proposals and votes will only be tallied on the forum, so you won't be left out.
Before the war starts, you have some tasks!United Forenia will need a flag! We are accepting new proposals immediately.
In addition to a flag, United Forenia should have a "banner" in her colors for people to use in their forum signature. This is a practice started in the War on Turbados. A banner consists of five ALT+219 █ characters in the national colors, like this:
Banner of Juraki Shogunate:

Last, but not least, you may want to begin discussing now which weapons you will use in the coming war. You have access to the whole Arstotzkan and Moskurg armory, but you will want to remove redundant weapons. You may also get a bonus design before the start of the war; I am still deciding this.
