ptw

[GentlemanRaptor]

Sorry all, I underestimated my course load for this semester and I can't do this turn after all. Just take me out of the running.

[forsaken1111]

ffs I have two jobs and a full load of college courses and I managed to do mine.

I'm kidding, no worries GR. Guess we're back to the start?

[Ashsaber]

Can I get put on the list? I'd like a turn or something. I can take it now/immediately/asap.
(What dlcs are being used?)

[PTTG??]

Ashsaber, I was about to take my turn, but I'd be happy to hand it over to you. Go ahead and play this round and I'll do the next.

[Ashsaber]

Huh.

Day Zero
Me: You know, it would be cool to run for office one day.
Literally the President: you have the job now
Me: Wait what
Literally the President: Hey everyone he's running the country now.
The Entirety of the Nation: k
Me: What am I doing

[PTTG??]

The President, driving away: "If you need _{me I'm on the golf course!"}

[forsaken1111]

Miner 1: "Hey who is that on telly?"
Miner 2: "Says it's the new president."
Miner 1: "Never heard of him... did we vote for him?"
Miner 2: -shrug- "No idea. He hasn't blown anything up yet though!"

[IcyTea31]

"Oh hey, you might want to finish the war with the Nuurians."
"What's a Nuurian?"

Later...

"So, how shall we ascend to become a true galactic power, more than mere mortals?"
"Ascend? No, we need to go down these stairs to this secret bunker."

[Ashsaber]

Our glorious President

Spoiler: Day 1, First day on the job (click to show/hide)

Aide: Welcome to the office, sir.
Me: Why was I just given the office?
Well the last two guys left in a hurry, so we were afraid it might be cursed.
...Right...
..Space curses, sir. It's a big deal.
...Ok. Well, if I get to sit here then let's do this right. What are we looking at?

We are currently losing energy due to the ongoing war against the Nuurian.

I follow the news, yeah. Everything else peachy?
The population is clamoring for a new life, and a public statement should be issued pretty soon, sir.
Alright, we'll do that. What else?
Our societal research department is in the middle of transition and could use a new head.
Any good candidates?
None for the current project.
Damn. Well, pick the youngest one and get to it.
...
Ok, so the first order of business is to finish prosecuting this war. The invasion force is waiting for your orders to attack, sir.
Can't they do it on their own?
It must be signed off by the commander in chief, sir.
Fine. *scribbling* Go for it.
*watching the signing on Space-Twitch* alright go go go go go!
Is...is that a giant?

Is there a problem?
FEE FI FO FUM I'M GONNA CRUSH YOU WITH MY BUM
No, not really.

Spoiler: Day "2", Leadership (click to show/hide)

So how do we win this war?
For starters, we take more territory.
Ok...downsides?
The enemy has a fleet they'll be using to do the same thing we do, so it's a race.
A race against a numerically inferior enemy, if the briefing was right.
Right.
k. let's go kill them then.
Excuse me?
Who's the admiral of the fleet?
Admiral Estiban Dominguez.
*Blarg*

Well fuck. Replacement time. Alonso!
'sup?
You're the admiral of the entire Earth Fleet now. No pressure.
...
...
No pressure.

Spoiler: Day "3", Naming Convention (click to show/hide)

Sir, we have a new colony we'd like you to name.
Ok, where is it?
It's northeast of here according to the galatic compass.
Huh...oh! I know.

SIR.
What? It's true.
*Sigh*

Spoiler: Day "4", Diplomacy (click to show/hide)

The Chimm Pact asking for a non-aggression treaty.
Huh...where are they?

So we'll have to go through the Ravagers first.
Yes.
and the Ravagers hate us with a burning passion.
: Yes.
Alright.

Spoiler: Day "5", Military Expertise (click to show/hide)

This is our next mission objective, Gabbog.

'k. bomb it and then invade it.
I would really prefer if you didn't call it like that, sir.
it's true, no?
Yes, but that description is uncouth.
Hey boss, I just called to let you know we're dusting it up with the baddies. Peace.
Huh. *turns on space-twitch*

Well.
It would've been better had he engaged from within our gun range.
Yeah.
Pew pew pew

Pew pew pew

Pew pew pew
This looks way less impressive zoomed out.
What are you talking about?

Pew pew pew (Images are not in order please ignore)
Kablooey

Was this really worth it? We lost half the fleet.
Yes, and they lost all their fleet. Totally worth it.
Riiight.

Spoiler: Day "6", Priorities (click to show/hide)

Why are our corvettes so expensive?
Because they're the front line ships of our navy?
Ok, but...they're small and have armor thinner than paper.
Oh dear.

There, that looks reasonable.
Sir there are PEOPLE serving on those ships
Space Russia approves.
Space Nippon approves.
SIR

Sadly the video I recorded to take screenshots with went kaput shortly after this point so this is likely as comprehensive as it gets.

[Ashsaber]

Since the video is officially kaput, I'll just go over what happened in the following years quickly.

Almost immediately following the loss of their navy:
Nurians: Fuck we're out. You win.
Us: Wee~
Nurians: We're not giving you access to the capital tho'.
Us: What not
Nurians: Suck iiiit (in about five years)
The rest of the Universe: Hey guys now would be a good time to literally make all the diplomatic agreements.
*cue all the non-aggression and guarantees and defense agreements and*

One year later

*cue all the non-aggression and guarantees and defense agreements being broken*
Half of the Universe: What the fuck guys
Other half: Sorry we were drunk. What were we talking about?

Me: Hey you know what
Aide: What
Me: It would be a really good idea to develop our economic base before we go into the next war.
Aide: Huh.
Space Earth: *9 years of economic development*

Ravagers: Fuck all of you
Everyone else: HE'S BELLIGERENT *dogpiles on Ravagers*
Ravagers: Fuck *dies*

Nurians: Hey guys can you protect us
Some Other Empire: Sure thing
*2 years later*
Some Other Empire: Changed our mind. Sorry.
Nurians: Fuck hey you guys over there can you help us against these humans
Empire #2246: Sure thing.
*2 years later*
Empire #2246: Changed our mind. Sorry.
Nurians: Fuck

Some Empires Guarenteeing Earth: Hey you guys look like you can handle yourself now, we're leaving.
Us: k

End of Service
State of the Union
Me: Alright, I think that went well. What's the country like now that my presidency is over?
Aide: Well, sir?


Aide: The financial sector is somehow losing more money than when we were in the war, and popularity is waning.
Me: But we do have a way bigger industrial and research section now.
Aide: Yes...if we can continue paying them.

State of the World

So as you can see, the Lyrite Ravagers had their head caved in. Fun fact: they have exactly one system, no allies, and no space port. But they have three enemy(?) fleets hanging out over their homeworld, so I'm leery about jumping in. That said, the fleet's primed and waiting if the next President wants to, y'know, finish the job.

Our new President

Have fun with the Destroyer cost -20%.
