You should probably mention that Arztoska is communist, that really hits a note with almost all democratic societies in this era.

[Sheb]

Hey, we're not communist! We just like red and vodka. :p

[Baffler]

Yeah, communists.
As far as the Americans will know.
Anyway, I got the broadsheet done but I'm having some trouble uploading it. Does anyone know a good alternative to imgur?

Fun fact, if you put text between [ tt ] tags, it removes the kerning so you can do things like below (I like what you've written btw)

@Baffler: I use photobucket personally.

|                                      *insert Moskurg flag here*                              |
|                                     Welcome to Moskurg, Friend!                              |
| That's right, you are a friend of the nation! Unlike in Arstotzka, where all are             |
| viewed as cheap labor and called by their assigned numbers.                                  |
| The glorious nation of Moskurg is situated on the northern part of the continent of Forenia. |
| Moskurg has been situated here for as long as anyone can remember. Everything was            |
| peaceful, yet, the soon-to-be people of Arstotzka had other ideas.                           |
| They broke the long-lasting timeline of unity in an effort to subjugate their population,    |
| destroy the environment of Forenia in an effort of profit, and bring tyranny down upon       |
| any who oppose. Arstotzka, thus, split, declaring war on the peaceful nation of Moskurg.     |
| In an effort to save the citizens of Southern Forenia, Moskurg launched an offensive.        |
| This offensive is destined with the task of freeing Forenia of the                           |
| tyrannical grip of Arstotzka.                                                                |
|                                                                                              |
|                       This is where you play your part in the grand campaign, Friend.        |
|                                                                                              |
| With your bright mind and strong will, Forenia will be free of the evil behind Arstotzka.    |
| Whether you design the weapons, or use them, you, the Nation's Friend, are                   |
| making the difference between a better Forenia, and a Forenia still under                    |
| the grasp of the Arstotzkan regime. Are you ready to become the Tiger's Descendant?          |
|                                                                                              |
|                         We believe you are. So, come, Friend!                                |
|                                        Into the fray!                                        |
|                          *insert cavalry drawing from above*                                 |
|                                                                                              |

Aaaah, alright, thanks. I was wondering how to get rid of those

[Elfeater]

Would a possible half a league esque poem be possible? That is what I was thinking about doings, with an associated story of a cavalry unit running down an infantry column.

It would add a sense of elegance, yet stronkness to Moskurg. I'd say go ahead.

[Elfeater]

I edited the original poem a bit, if others could work on it as well to make it sound better, that would be great, especially if you come up with something better than mounted brigade for the name.

1.
Half a mile, half a mile,
 Half a mile onward,
All in the Desert of Death
 Rode the six hundred.
"Forward, the Mounted Brigade!
"Charge for the column!" he said:
Into the Desert of Death
 Rode the six hundred.

2.
"Forward, the Mounted Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldier knew
 Arstotzka had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the Desert of Death
 Rode the six hundred.

3.
Infantry to right of them,
Infantry to left of them,
The Coulumn in front of them
 Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
 Rode the six hundred.

4.
Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Flash'd as they turn'd in air,
Sabring the Arstotzkans there,
Charging an army, while
 All the world wonder'd:
Plunged in the foul death
Right thro' the line they broke;
Cossack and Arstotzka
Reel'd from the sabre stroke
 Shatter'd and sunder'd.
Then they rode back, but not
 Not the six hundred.

5.
Death to right of them,
Death to left of them,
Death laid waste behind them
 Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
 Left of six hundred.

6.
When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
 All the world wondered.
Honor the charge they made,
Honor the Mounted Brigade,
 Noble six hundred.

[Sheb]

Hey, I was working on an Arstotzkan version of that! :p

[Elfeater]

haha sorry, I can leave that you in in exchange for the Design Credit it would earn...

[Sheb]

Nah, I can still beat you to posting it in the OOC thread. :p

[Elfeater]

Bah, where is the fun in that?

[Baffler]

You missed a reference to Cossacks in there, changed it to Moskurg. Also changed Mounted Brigade to Moskurg Horse to keep it at 3 syllables. Might be too much Moskurg.
