"Indiastan made the annoucement earlier today that in order to practice fleet orientated ortillery strikes and associated manouvers, that the continent of South America will be wiped off the map. Residents have been advised to stay clear of the effected areas, and a 72 hour evacuation notices for South and Centeral America have been issued. The manouvers are to commence at 0100 PST Saturday. This has been an INN report."

Bomb South America?
Can't have fellow christians wiped out for no apparent reason!
(Unless they're protestants, that is...)
Assimilation Corp will be down on yo' ass!
(Unless you abandon your hair-brained scheme or join Assimilation Corp, that is...)

Bomb South America?
I get my cocaine from there!

"In responce to the international outpouring of opposition to Indiastan's plans to level South America, the governmetn releaded this statement. "Honestly folks, we drew it out of a hat. Deal with it. Besides, what are any of you going to do about it?". The press secratary was unavailable for comment after this was released."

That's what I'm going to do about it.

Cheif Executive Board Member Brian Walton pulled his pocket phone out of his...well...pocket, and proceeded to call his Minister of Defense, Dr. Helena Meyer.

"Yes Cheif?" she answered the phone.

"You know that SA threat by Indiastan?"

"Yes Cheif."

"Can they actually do it?"

"Only in their wet dreams Cheif."

"Excellent. If they try anyway, frag 'em."

"With pleasure sir."

"And let EOTED know."

"With considerably more pleasure sir. May I make a suggestion?"

"Absolutely!"

"Lets call Elegant Solutions Inc. They'll want to know. Pay-Per-View of Indiastan's demise could bring in huge profits."

"Meyer, I love you."

"I know sir."

OOC: Chief is spelt I E, okay? I E. Remember: I before E, except after C. Simple, really.

(...or science. That one always made me mad - it's near on the only common word in English with an 'i' and an 'e' after a 'c', but it's 'cie'. I'm going to start spelling it 'sceince' in protest.)

((Except when one is spelling weird words.))
It's not exactly beneficial to so enlighten people who have only recently begun upon their discovery of the joys of the English language.
It might confuse them.

How many kindergarteners need to spell 'science'?

Hurry up, or I'm going to have to start napalming civilians!

*smacks Al Mastif with forign culture*

Think of it as "color" and "colour". Spelling isn't always the same across boarders. Maybe Wazzu spelling is different.

Well, thats my excuse anyway.

But then, I don't know why I'm fretting talking to a spelling Nazi.

Shoo troll, shoo! *scoots the tiny net-n00b out the thread door with a broom*

((Curious that you referred to English with the word "joy". I've always been under the impression that the convoluted clump of dialects we call English was one of the hardest languages in the world to learn.))
OOC: The fact that we can speak English, and so many foreigners can't, makes us the obvious master-race(s).

Too late, I'm bored!
The napalm (and fuel air explosives) will be over there in an hour and a half.

And you got past the AA/SAM defence grid, fighter patrols, satalite detection nets, and the angry mob throwing rocks how? Yeah, thats what I thought.

(...or science. That one always made me mad - it's near on the only common word in English with an 'i' and an 'e' after a 'c', but it's 'cie'. I'm going to start spelling it 'sceince' in protest.)

OOC: But that's because it's actually pronounced "sci-ence", with two separate vowels between the "sc" and the "n", while normel "ei" and "ie" sound like one "ee".

Two suggestions:

1. Total and utter ignoration of Al Mastif!

2. Stop the spelling contest and start rp-ing!

IC:

Lord Stone, acting as leading chairman of the High Council during the absence of lord Delendre, read the message dispatched by United Indiastan. His eyes widened a little, and he picked up a phone. After dialing, the phone only rang once.

"David S'Jet"

"David, it's me. United Indiastan is announcing ortillery exercises above South and Central America. What assets do we have there?"

"Let me see....we have several billions in banks in Honduras and Uruguay, plus a diamond mine in Venezuela. We're also outsourcing the production of several terradyne components to various conglomerates that have their plants and fabriques located in the target zone. And...eh...we also have 2500 men and women there, mostly controllers supervising operations at the component plants."

"Thanks. Listen carefully, because I want this done fast. Transfer those funds to banks in Europe, Sisgardia and Lodoss. Immediatelly sell all stock we have in South-American companies, and extract our personnel from the region. Those terradyne components, do we need those really bad?"

"No sir. The manufacturing structure of those components is parallel, which means the same components are also constructed for us in other locations. In this case, that would be Sisgardia, Japan and North America."

"Allright, then immediatelly break all contracts with those South-American suppliers."

"Sure thing"

(ooc: this only happens if bombardment actually takes place.)

The Brotherhood of Nod has various assets in South- and Middle-America and hereby warns United Indiastan that our Tiberium missiles are arming at the moment. Back down or be destroyed.

(ooc:- Ok it's "i" before "e" except after "C" <===how I was taught to remember it.)

IC:- You are going to destroy a continent for practise? If you do that do you mind if some of the larger nations use you as a test bed for their weapons of mass destruction?

"It`s not very impressive to destroy a continent with ortillery.

We would be far more impressed if they would hit a cigarette with the first shot..."

"Earlier today, Governer-General Namir Al-Zwahiri announced that the fleet operations planned for this Saturday were in fact part of a practicle joke, as part of Governmental Joke Day, a new holiday similar to April Fools Days. The Governer has told us that folks really need to lighten up, and that humour is essential to a long happy life. He point to himself, as able-bodied at 86 as he was at 36, to the truth of his claim. He also apologized for any confusion this may have cause, but he says "Honestly, I thought it was funny." This has been an INN report."

As Dick Clark would say:-

"Humor is always based on a modicum of truth. Have you ever heard a joke about a father-in-law?"

We fear that their might have been a bit of truth in your statement, hence our reaction to your statement. In the future leave the jokes to civilians who words won't be taken as seriously as yours was.
