Well over a year, huh. Sad to say, I might've been among the section of people who seemed to have outgrown the spirit of IH. But my mind returns to this place and all the passionate members from time...

It would feel apt then, if this awesome little corner were due for a reunion :P
BAW is back???? Yesh! I know how to kill my last 2 weeks before college! :)
Ehh, what with many IH'ers entering college at this point or in the near future, and many larger games still in development and IH ideas in discussion at the moment waiting for release in a couple...
Treasury Secretary Massie arrives to address the Senate on the invitation of Senator Rondelle
"To the Gentlemen of the Senate,
I have been called to the attention of the current subject of...
"You are correct. And furthermore, we should not deal in trade with France until their tendencies to war and political instability cease. I am strongly hoping that those of opposing views would put...
"You are correct, sir. Our southern and western limbs are fragile, and her bones must be strengthened with the good vitamin of internal development if we are to keep ourselves growing without tearing...
"Good evening, Mr. President!" Massie declared in a similarly pleasant manner as when he had been greeted.
"I hope not to intrude upon your consideration of more important affairs, but I felt it...
Hot on the heels of the President's many guests is Secretary Massie, who requests an audience.
Senator Massie pens a letter to Massachusetts governor Charles Dyer
Awesome. Now the Poole administration can really get the ball rolling on things :)
Nah, no worries bud. I know about your sinus troubles. Plus, my visit was about the Whiskey Rebellion. That's all said and done with as of today :P
"I wish the nature of my visit were as pleasant as the surprise about it, Mr. Peterson. I have received word that Congress Hall brims to its rafters with talk of the Rebellion. They seek to mobilize...
Secretary Massie arrives to engage the War Secretary Peterson in discussion.
I don't remember seeing this anywhere, but what's the income we're making from trade and tariffs?
I'm coping with the same this year (senior right now). The trick is, to incentivize studying through IH. For every major cram session you get done, reward yourself with some computer time and release...
1793 Income: $84,450
Current Balance for 1793: $337,800
I think I counted 45 Red Provinces, though my counts with everything else agree with yours. Given that, I calculated the total to be 281,500 and at a 30% tax, our income to be 84,450.

Ah, it's good with me! I could kind of tell Massie was going to be vilified by game's start, but I still like the direction this game's going :)
And I too would've preferred DC or Columbia over...
I very much like where Perry's going with his idea. Wallace-Poole sounds a bit winded lol.
but also as a tribute to Dan's retired character, I'd like to propose Stanford :P
Times change. The Massie of this age might have hardened his stance a little more, especially in regards to the foundation of the new federal govt. He'll, or I hope he'll be a stickler for...
To round out the cast, I will put Massie forward for Hamilton. He largely managed the Congressional budget for the war and comes from a region that would've seen the genesis of Federalist...
I might not get out of this one...
The St. Lawrence should have been my grave he thought to himself as this all was happening.
None of it was necessary. I might have avenged a man's honor -...
We may have always been crazy, but I don't think I've ever seen Kip that angry.
Swansey slowly rose, tugging on one man's coat to prop himself up. He licked his fists and noticed that his knuckles had grown swollen, as though he wore two thick cherry-red gloves on his hands. He...
OOC: Ohhhh Charlestown! I thought you were suggesting I go to Loyalist controlled Charleston, SC :P
When Swansey had arrived in the neighborhood, the large brick building was not hard to miss. The...
Swansey nodded - that was all he knew to do, if not salute and surrender all the dignity of a civilian - before studying his memories of the officer for a moment. He was a lanky fellow, and his face,...
It was not the natural activity of the wharf, the odor of the harbor, nor the dysrhythmic clacking of glove-leather boots upon the cold, muddy cobblestones roads of Boston that rang the senses of a...

Were?
Weeeeeellll.... maybe :P
It's been a long day, irl and IC-wise. Oh, and it might be cool to re-locate to Philadelphia again ;)
I went by that assumption and by Dan's congressional budget in my recruitment orders.
"What?! Two victorious men among the ranks of Columbia's lands? Why, then if Commodore Poole might secure the Atlantic shores of New England and New York, the north has been won! I would ask if the...
Massie cupped his hands and let out a hearty laugh of relief and celebration at the news, and as his spine tingled with joy and a rush of blood, he let out with no hesitation.
"WITH ALL GLORY BE...
The committee's job was never to micromanage the war either, only to take care of recruitment and such. We gave commanders autonomy for the most part
To the honorable general John R. Braxford
I pray this letter reaches you in good time - that depending on whether this growingly beleaguered confederacy of colonies still stands bound in patriotic...
Congressional naval orders for 1777
2x Man-o'-wars (40,000 pounds, 2 days)
4x Frigates (50,000 pounds, 1 day)
2x Bomb Ketches (24,000 pounds, 1 day)
3x Brigantines (30,000 pounds) finished
8x...
Tread carefully Fred, we're gambling on a win to at least secure the north ;)
Massie turns his mouth puckeringly at the news
"Yes, perhaps grant him that army by all means, but what of this defeat?
Shall Congress admit that Howe, having routed our forces with little...
