Greatstates II - vDiplomacy

Fri 06 Feb UTC	(Tman555): Only one I can think of is Merkts. But Wisconsin is pretty well known for cheddar in specific.
Fri 06 Feb UTC	(DimaNekhoroshyi): To whoever is playing as Alaska: I'm Siberia, maybe we can work together?
Fri 06 Feb UTC	(JBFroome): https://www.vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=65726 Hey guys, we need one more player and this ends soon. Food for thought.
Fri 06 Feb UTC	(eatheavymetal): Apologies about them, comrade Alaska, they think they are an independent country sometimes. We in Russia formally offer an alliance instead.
Fri 06 Feb UTC	(MagicalSand): Yeah id say mainly the cheddar, Wisconsin more so is focused on your normal cheese found in the grocery store than fancy cheeses. Mainly cause we have an insane amount of dairy farms and chees processing plants
Fri 06 Feb UTC	(eatheavymetal): Oh, ok. Makes sense.
Sat 07 Feb UTC	(ibuprofen): Who all is playing as their home states? Pretty sure this is my second time trying to make something out of it, killed immediately the first.
Sat 07 Feb UTC	(MagicalSand): 3rd times the charm! My 1st one went well, until I was killed by the 4 corner States and Hawaii of all people. 2nd one minnesota (aka purple incarnation of satan) was the culprit
Sat 07 Feb UTC	(MagicalSand): Its really annoying because minnesota gets RCM as a freebie but Wisconsin has to fight for LAC which ought be a freebie i feel
Sat 07 Feb UTC	(AmericanNightmare06): Howdy. I am playing as my home state (Alabama)
Sat 07 Feb UTC	(Udahk): LAC is free, right? STP-WUP can be bounced easily with time to take MRQ after.
Sat 07 Feb UTC	(MagicalSand): Depends on Minnesotas builds, if its fleet they could bounce MRQ, or even move APO with an army. Doesn't guarantee a build, as getting TBY would of course
Sat 07 Feb UTC	(MagicalSand): Regardless it's annyoing that Wisconsin has to bounce to have a chance for LAC
Sat 07 Feb UTC	(eatheavymetal): LAC is free, build an army at MAD and move it to LAC. Then it is yours.
Sat 07 Feb UTC	(eatheavymetal): Then support hold with MWL's army that has moved to MAD.
Sat 07 Feb UTC	(eatheavymetal): I'm not playing as my home state, but I am playing as a state I have visited.
Sat 07 Feb UTC	(JustAGuyNamedWill): I’m playing as my favorite state, I enjoy playing as such Also I shall formally invite the UK to align with me!
Sat 07 Feb UTC	(Natethegreat648): Hi. Alaska here
Sun 08 Feb UTC	(AmericanNightmare06): hello to alaska from bama
Sun 08 Feb UTC	(AmericanNightmare06): Hello to georgia. As early joiners, I hope we can be friendly
Sun 08 Feb UTC	(ibuprofen): Heyo, War Eagle, Roll Tide, whichever floats your boat!
Sun 08 Feb UTC	(Tman555): Go Vols!
Sun 08 Feb UTC	(AmericanNightmare06): Roll Tide
Sun 08 Feb UTC	(eatheavymetal): Whatever the equivalent is of that is for the Florida Seminoles, I guess. I don't really watch football.
Sun 08 Feb UTC	(Natethegreat648): Cmon people advertise the game everywhere
Sun 08 Feb UTC	(HR_Enigma): as a non American, i will be trying to take Canada :)
Mon 09 Feb UTC	(eatheavymetal): I like to imagine this variant is the civil war that causes the NUSA in Cyberpunk 2077.
Tue 10 Feb UTC	(eatheavymetal): Are there any places in the U.S. that any of you all wanted to visit or revisit. I personally want to see the Vermont leaves again, and the desert sky in like Utah or somewhere like that.
Tue 10 Feb UTC	(AivenSycamore): The sky out there truly is amazing. I want to see the redwood forests on the east coast again, it’s been about 10 years since I last was there
Tue 10 Feb UTC	(Natethegreat648): Hawaii is beautiful, I loved swimming with tropical fish and the various beaches. I also would love to visit Yellowstone
Tue 10 Feb UTC	(ibuprofen): The Pacific Northwest is incredible. Mountains colliding right into the ocean.
Tue 10 Feb UTC	(AivenSycamore): Vermont must be beautiful this time of year, with all that snow. (Someone please get the reference)
Tue 10 Feb UTC	(eatheavymetal): I loved the Redwoods! I even went to the trail where the speeder bike chase from Episode VI was filmed. I am editing my list and adding this to the return trip list.
Tue 10 Feb UTC	(ibuprofen): Would love to go to Alaska! Going on a road trip to Key West next month lol
Tue 10 Feb UTC	(eatheavymetal): Nice! I'm not a fan of Florida, but I hope the trip goes well!
Tue 10 Feb UTC	(eatheavymetal): Nice! I'm not a fan of Florida, but I hope the trip goes well!
Thu 12 Feb UTC	(JustAGuyNamedWill): Wow how great arethese states
Thu 12 Feb UTC	(AivenSycamore): I’ll hazard a guess of “pretty great”
Mon 07 PM UTC	(Natethegreat648): Cmon guys advertise this game so we can start
Mon 08 PM UTC	(drano019): Hey, I'm not sure we have enough join time. Should I extend more? :D
Mon 08 PM UTC	(Natethegreat648): Yeah maybe go to 2030?
Mon 09 PM UTC	(AmericanNightmare06): LMAO
Mon 10 PM UTC	(BigBaru): Come on we need this to start!
Tue 12 AM UTC	(eatheavymetal): I already started a dedicated thread. Feel free to advertise it on your own as well. I would also love for the game to start.
Tue 12 AM UTC	(eatheavymetal): We are getting close to starting.
04:45 PM UTC	(erikip107): it would be hilarious if the game doesn't start, we all forget about it, and then all of a sudden some random day in 2027 we begin
04:48 PM UTC	(AivenSycamore): That'd be crazy but at this point likely with how slowly it's starting...
04:49 PM UTC	(Udahk): I think it'll start before Easter 2026.
05:49 PM UTC	(eatheavymetal): Heh, maybe.
07:03 PM UTC	(AivenSycamore): Not if I can help it!
