So, are we going to declare war on Pretoria? Or the Cape? Or the whole country?

No, they first have a look to see which country has the most oil... and then pretend they're attacking for totally none related reasons. :P

I'm scared I'm making Pretoria a target here, and I don't know whether we're up for it *hides*
but luckily we have no oil!

Too late!

And you have koeksisters and milktart and other nom-like things. Good enough reason for me to declare war.

Immunity may be gained by obtaining the brownie in a mug recipe. We'll call that Switzerland.

That is why I will make such an awesome dictator. I get bored or don't want to work, I declare war.

Hand it over while I do Wash's monologue from the Firefly pilot episode:

~~~
(Wash is at his station on the bridge, playing with plastic dinosaurs.)
Wash: (as Stegosaurus) Yes...yes. This is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it...this land.
Wash: (as Allosaur) I think we should call it...your grave!
Wash: (as Stegosaurus) Ah! Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
Wash: (as Allosaur) Ha ha ha! Mine is an evil laugh! Now DIE!
Wash: (as Stegosaurus) Oh no, God, oh dear God in heaven...
~~~

No foreshadowing at all, but seriously, hand it over. :)

Wait, hold up now. Nobody is getting disqualified. We, unlike the athletics boards elsewhere in the world, allow our competitors to compete despite gender, age, race, or even species.

Yup, we even let in plot bunnies.

:-)

So, Pretoria? The Cape? South Africa?

What's the general opinion?

I'm happy to declare war on anyone! Um, word war. Not war war. That would be bad.

But really, I'm fiercely competitive, so I'm up for it, whomever we choose. We could fight Pta or gang up with them against the Cape! Do we want the Tshwane folks on our side or do we want to crush them? :)

So what's up with you indecisive Joburg people? Do you want to fight us or not? Make up your minds, or we will organize ourselves first. From the stats I've seen so far, I think we can take you on.

Ok, it's North vs South methinks. JHB & PTA against EC & CT. (since we're up here and you're down there)

Natal... where do your loyalties lie? Are you for the North or the South? Same goes for the Freestate (are there any there?)

Just one question... how do we keep track?

You do know you are not allowed to hug the enemy as that is treason? Just a thought before you start making us build bows out of spaghetti

What about making it the coastal provinces vs the inland ones? That would accommodate Free State and Natal quite nicely.
