InfiniteAmount Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (I changed the background because I thought the old one was hard to read. Also, I tried cropping the image, but I kind of botched it. I'll figure out a better way to crop it for my next one.) 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quarios Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Good writeup, I really like how taking San marco is considered treacherous. While the US taking Pensacola, in the middle of french Lousiana ports before that is of course rightful. Talking about perception, good propaganda stuff tho :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles, my good sir, you know how ready the journalist is with his pen. Certainly the informed reader will be aware that the historic enmity Great Britain and France would, owing to the demands of national pride, prevent either from taking a subordinate position to the other.

InfiniteAmount Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) Who confuses journalists or recruitment posters with diplomats?

DarkJip Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 To be sure everybody got the real history : 1/ We try to speak with US2/ We had a 48 hours peace treaty which was respected from both side3/ During the 48h, to resum the discussion it was something like : Haha, we want all Louisiana, we will come with 400 players and destroy you. So not really peaceful talks, isn't it ?...4/ The port of San Marcos was Spanish and not US at all. (and it's the same for all the west of Florida). P.S : it's not a winning post at all. Just don't believe everything write on paper. Unfortunatly, the "fact-checking" was not created yet in 17-18th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salty Dog. Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Humm. I'd like to write a editorial if I may. Could an interview be arranged as well? you do understand that his articles are just for fun, right. Nobody should take them as the honest truth. It's just a bit of roleplay newspaper article, written from a biased point of view. It's referred to a yellow journalism and fitting with the timeframe of the game. https://history.state.gov/milestones/1866-1898/yellow-journalism 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfiniteAmount Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Humm. I'd like to write a editorial if I may. Could an interview be arranged as well? Maybe, but I guarantee that I will edit and twist it so that it makes you sound like a villain. Probably counter-productive from you're point of view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
