[RAF] Bulletin and mini-games, round 7
Sir Humphrey Appleby
‘Ello again lads o7
To try and keep things fresh I’ll have a chat with other MUs about a new team game either similar to another round of Risk we refined a bit before; or a sort’ve ‘burn the witch/catch the yank’ voting theme of teams of 4/5 from the v1 days.
Weekly Bulletin
• After another angry message from foreign counterparts sent Gov's way, it looks like we may have exported the problem of ‘battle sniping’ to our friends abroad a bit. I’d ask folk show similar courtesy in third party battles themselves and avoid regularly taking the piss.
• Battle orders are still more or less the same: try to WIN defending campaigns and LOSE attacks, though we don’t need to secure every battle correctly. A longer campaign means more medals for both us and our eight training war partners.
If you're not already familiar-
• Companion to medal runs
• Become a bounty hunter!
Usual reminders-
• Try and keep at least a q1 house active - it provides a bonus energy pool and regeneration that (more than) pays for itself in overtime tickets.
• Nuking the early stages of the weekly prestige points challenge will recharge a lot more energy as well and is key if you want to really up your own runs and rankups.
• Keep an eye on your daily challenge. Even buying a token loaf of bread/a penny from the foreign exchange can help boost you without firing a shot.
• Try and respect other UK players' own medal runs and they will, on the whole, respect yours. If you do however run into problems prod Huey, 11ue or myself.

Round 6 results: the correct answer was...
Hong Kong!
After being introduced to, and quickly getting hooked on ‘Victoria 3’, it had to be done eventually…
At 2,845km away in another famous port-city, Singapore wins certa the pot; with India’s 3,638km winning select the runners up consolation. Well played gents!

Extra o7 for Victoria 3, and a warning that social security laws at high investment are budgetary suicide until the command economy rework in the next update
As for colonialism, in honour of its continued commitment to a conflict that goes back essentially to the 60s AD, I shall go for Mandatory Palestine.
I did actually get away with it - managed to get laissez-faire and free trade passed fairly early and had to hold on for dear life when I put on auto-expand... something like £2b GDP by the 1870s/80s
Bermuda
