An open GS discussion
Every storm has it's duration. In time, even the mightiest of storms must eventually fade.
Given that, and given that we are exiting our period of extended peace with our Voxian neighbors, and entering a new phase, I feel that an informal change of name for the group is in order.
To that end, I propose "Gathering another Storm" or GAS for short.
This way, when our allies pass our ships on the high seas, or when our units pass each other en route to different places, it can truly be said that you are "Passing GAS." Ahhh, and the possibilities for diplomacy are *endless* 
As to our current situation with Vox, since they're quite fond of assigning operational names to everything, I propose that we do likewise, and my vote for the ongoing operations against Vox would be
"Operation Toxic GAS"
or perhaps
"Silent but Deadly GAS"
Thoughts? This is serious business here....

Well, if you think the name change will help your team play its turns in a more timely fashion, I am all in favour.

I dunno about the delays earlier, but this past turn's delay was largely brought on by 'poly being down.

24 - 4 = 20 
Sorry Vel - I'm just being a pain in the butt here.
As to you name change, you know you are setting yourself up with a name like GaS.

Can Vox be running out of GAS?

Nope - there is a lot of GaS to be 'consumed'.

Ok, this war is reaching GaStronomical limits to the pun factor.
If GaS has any GAS it woud be in their best interest to use that GAS on Vox's ASS(AsynchonizedSwingingSwordsmen) so that GaS may PASS the through the current ASS attack.
So, GaS must use it's own GAS to BLAST Vox's ASS Attack! A sort of cheek to cheek battle of ASS versus GAS!

That's right. You look down from above, so if the GAS rises...

And when your lands are conquered - we will rename them - GAScony.

Still time to diffuse the situation, if you want to.... We're lovers and poets at heart....like the Scots, actually.
But....it appears you've already cast your die, yes?

I'll readily admit to a bit of surprise at the sudden turn of events (and regardless of the outcome, my compliments to whomever over there orchestrated things to this point), but (and forgive my momentary redneck lapse) "the fightin' ain't even started yet."
