Hello , Schulmania !

I'm Fransisco de Gama , the Great Leader of Vinea ! I wonder if you'll be pleased to make an agreement between your country and mine ! The interior market of your nation interest me and my high-tech industry which will be very happy to sell its produces to your feline comrades ! If you accept , the construction of your embassy can be starting right now !

Wait- Jason leo made post #9000!

[emperordaniel 1,281]

So, what did I miss?

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Congrats, Jason! You have access to an exclusive gubernatorial signature picture for use at your pleasure:

And Princess Katherine has gifted you with a small farm along the East Wirdleonia frontier for your use. You get to keep it even after your term of office expires... our gift to you!

And congrats again, Jason!

[Schulmanator 5,787]

[SimCoug 5,973]

OOOOOoooooh. Great teaser, and it only took two words!

[Charlie_Zane 963]

Oh this is exciting!

[emperordaniel 1,281]

The Siege? That doesn't sound good. I wonder what's happened to Phillip de Purrton over the last few months...looking forward to seeing the upcoming update.

[jason leo 485]

Me ? I thought mine is #8999 ! I didn't realize if yours is #8999, because when I posted it, the last post I saw is the post #8998. Thanks to you, Schulmanator, my post become the post #9000 instead of #8999 because you posted few minutes earlier than me. Also thanks a lot for the gifts.

[vivapanda 422]

That lucky guy! I hope he'll have a good time there

[Benedict 3,119]

Congratulations on getting volume two to 9000 posts - and over 300 pages - what an achievement!

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

9000 posts! And I think you're going to beat the 10,000 post thread to 10,000 posts!

I've been looking forward to The Siege for months!

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Siege

PLEASE NOTE: This is a ‘live’ event. The siege will be played out in real time (Schulmania Standard Time, with breaks of course for sleep, RLS and other stuff) and will be updated as events unfold. Check back frequently for progress on the battle (it may not be exactly in real time but it will be frequent). Additionally, your input will have an impact on the outcome of the battle. The outcome is not final yet and will depend on what you do. Your supportive comments can help rally the troops and increase their effectiveness. (Conversely, comments in favor of Queensferry will reduce our morale and effectiveness by the same margin.) When there are options available for us in the battle, we will wait to gather input before making a decision (the wait time will depend on the severity of the situation). These decisions will have consequences, good and/or bad, but that won’t be revealed until after the decision has been made. If you are a member of the Schulmania National Military and wish to fight in the battle (your survival is not guaranteed, however), please indicate so. And, if you wish to be in the battle and have not yet joined the SNM, go here and apply quickly: http://www.schulmani...les/careers.htm.(You can post your completed applications here to be added.)

Disclosure Notice: To add more room for battle, a second city built in a compatible style has been used in the siege story (providing about 30% additional content). The original walled city of Schulmericho was too compact to make for good battle scenes so the city of Inskip, located in Francifloriana District, Tenne, has been used to serve as a stand-in. You will see Inskip later in its own chapter. But for now, it is serving as a ‘movie set’ to give extra room for combat. So, I am sacrificing accuracy for intrigue. Pretend like you didn’t notice.

And now, on to the show…

The Bug stops here.

[FrenchThom 27]

The Bug stops here.

[Hester 699]

Yes. I am a member of the Military..post me where I need to be. The Bugg indeed stops here!

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

I wish to do my part in the battle.

Death to all Buggs!

The only good bug is a dead bug!

This epic battle will not only be a victory for Schulmania.. but as the day an entire nation stood up and said "We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We are going to live on- we're going to survive!"

[FrenchThom 27]

I want to have a function in the Schulmania Navy ! The VSS Senkaku , the VSS Lisboa ( two nuclear submarines ) and the XVIII Vinéan Fleet are already on the front line ! Death to all bugs !

[Cefien 361]

I hope it's not too late, but i'd like to pledge allegiance. Me and my fellow mafias.

You don't have to worry about our loyalty. My men will all die for me, as well as for Schulmania if you allow us to join.

I wanna see the end of the war by standing at Schulmania's side.

[Schulmanator 5,787]

SimCoug Thanks! The battle is on!

City_Master Thanks. Hope you like it (and that we win!)

emperordaniel I am sure he is ready for action!

jason leo You are welcome. And I like your new signature picture!

vivapanda He sure will!

Benedict I am still amazed it keep chugging along.

NMUSpidey It’s time to swat some buggs!

City_Master You have been added!

usfighter15 We will scratch back until they are defeated.

FrenchThom You are very kind. Please check with our Diplomatic Office, as Schulmania is cautious about establishing relations with nations until they establish they provide equal rights for their feline citizens. Unless of course the felines are the ruling class of the nation…

SimCoug That’s a great slogan. I am stealing it!

FrenchThom Down with Buggs!

Hester Will do!

Lyhoko Leaci You will be in it!

Lyhoko Leaci I added that in at the bottom. Oops!

KonstantinII You bet!

Wiecher It’s that time!

usfighter15 LOL! I remember that quote!

FrenchThom Please complete our application so we know what name you want and where to place you.
