No; if it takes two to train, it occupies one and trains one.

I assume those are your orders from last turn, posted for the reference of others.

Glad to know that the military unit system makes sense; it had been bothering me that elite type gnomes cost just the same as the cannon fodder.

GORK All Gnome Gnews All the Arboreal Time!

Attention all P.O.W.A.R.S. citizens!

After the very recent (as in my orders for this turn ooc) relocation of 200 gnomes to Hip-Hop-and-ya-don't-stoppelopolis they have finally elected a leader and decided on a name for their growing John-Kerry's-a-Flip-Floppelopolis.

Their newly elected leader is the hard working, one time blue collar, "son of a guy who made coats from gnome goat nipples", Ted Koppel.

In his honor the gnome-opolis populous named the city after him. Today the giant grass blade was cut and the people of Ted Koppelopolis (Koppelopolis for short [no pun intended there]) were finally allowed back into their city after the giant banners with his face were done being placed just so that they would block the sun when it is setting and gets in your eyes when you're trying to drive and even though its totally not your fault you still got a ticket for hitting that guy anyway.

Special mods have been given to the sappers boiling honey supplies. In order to keep energy costs low, a few of the sappers vats have been replaced with newly speacially sealed vats that keep out disease and when needed the enemy. These new vats store excess waste, and mulch. These new additions to the P.O.W.A.R.S. military will be called Crappers, after what they dump(he he DUMP!).

Tactical Strategy Genius Ted Koppel was quoted as saying, "I want our military to hit the enemy like hell. And ta do so any good military needs to smell so. I don't want invading forces ta think that we 'er gonna be going easy and giving something warm and sweet as instead of pain and suffering.".

Most citizens see this as idiocy but regardless of his intent Democratically Elected Leader (representative really) of Koppelopolis has found a superior method to dealing with the "poo poo problem". Many citizens may remember in the days of old when the at that time leader, Claude Upson, thought that he could solve the problem by secretly slipping the "ingredient" into his "world famous" daiquiris.

But that, like this reporter's relationship with her new EX-boyfriend (bob) is history!

On to happier things.

Many gnomes (50) have been drafted into the military (hopefully that @$$hol3 bob!). And are 20 more are fortifying the new city and solidifying transportation in between the two, so that commerce, stuff, crap and other such vital necessities may be moved with ease.

100 have been deployed.???? In what????

Yes that's all you get to find out, which is just about as much as bob would say about the lipstick I found on his damn shirt collar! I apologize, its just that this reporter is going through a lot of personal trauma right now, and has been spending that past few days in bed watching Lifetime, and eating Fig Gnewtons. But I'm back on my feet. So forgive me if I have a few slips.

Full PM-box? Change here!

So in other news. Morgan "Badass" Freeman announced that he plans to announce plans to announce that he will announce a large athletics ceremony to be held between all of the gnomes in the local area and stuff. This is to be "terror free" (i.e. no bombs or Chinese figure skaters beefed up on 'roids' (steroids not hemorrhoids).

The events will be held VERY SOON (and mod decided). You can begin training your athletes now. The events will be running, swimming, over eating, wrestling, the acorn toss, and the drug test.

151 gnomes in the BBQ capital, and 61 (I think) in New BBQ, the one between the Wall Gnomes and POWARS.

The Gnomlympics will be held update after next.

Nomads:
24 gnomes will train 12 archers, 10 of whom will travel to the wall gnomes as part of the 'mercenary' deal. (which should bring the total up to 12 living with the wall gnomes, which is what the deal was, I believe)

10 gnomes will forage

16 gnomes will stay at camp, weave baskets, and have a good time.

Wall Gnomes

A new king has been chosen! His royal climberness, King Mika, is now in charge of all internal and external affairs! He will supervise the fullfillment of the treaty with the Nomads (half of their bowgnomes will have dinner with the king each evening, on a rotary basis; The king will approve the food shipments to the nomads himself). We don´t want to look uninterrested in our friends abroad

Brickbane (pop. 274gnm/10ant)
All ants shall be sent back to Fata.
45 gnomes train 15 axers, another thirty gnomes train 15 slingers. All of those will be sent to Fata City for garrison duty. Watch out for birds!
Thirty gnomes work on the rope network. Fourty Gnomes accompany the soldiers to Fata City for resettlement.
Twenty-four gnomes train twelve Special Police Forces, called "Walluminati". Three go to each city and start working on public opinion towards the king .
The rest shall breed and be happy!

C.A.C. (pop. 194gnm/2psk)
Twenty gnomes will construct an enclosure for the pond skaters at the westernmost coast of the Twin Lakes.
Six gnomes, riding the two pondskaters, will practise pondskating (better sfae than sorry ) so it becomes less dangerous and new skaters can later rely on experienced trainers... Another 12 gnomes will research applications of ropes to pondskaters for steering and security.
30 Gnomes are sent to capture more of those admirable insects. They will equip themselves with ropes and have a guard of 6 slingers and 5 flailers.
50 gnomes will fish the lake to provide food for the colonies and the Nomads.
60 gnomes shall train ten axers and ten flailers; Fourty gnomes train twenty slingers.
The rest shall breed and enjoy life at the Wall community!

Fata City (pop. 86gnm)
Twenty gnomes shall search the area for food and harvest as much as they could.
Tenty-five gnomes will capture ants.
Ten Gnomes will start to work with all available ants (also those from Brickbane), digging trenches around Fata City for defensive purposes.
The rest shall breed (and watch out for birds )!

Military
20 gnomes=10 TLB (Twin Lakes Bureau) agents

The TLB agents will bring the population of the BBQ capital under our control along with the military stationed there.

Capital:
5 gnomes will be trained as big eaters for the olypics.
5 more will be trained as swimmers, this should come naturally to our people.
30 gnomes will work with ants, training them for riding in work and war situations.
10 gnomes will experiment with using acorn caps (or only parts of them depending how big we are in comparison) as shields against gnome weaponry.
20 gnomes attempt to improve spears by attempting to attach a large sharpened rock to a spear shaft.
20 gnomes will experiment with various materials for a boat.
The rest will breed.

Bipolarbear, I don't know if you checked the first couple posts of the thread, but the system for recruiting military units has changed. Those 50 gnomes that were sent into the military can either all become twig gnomes, or half can become spear gnomes and half will assist in the training of spear gnomes.

Micha, you said "Twenty-four gnomes train twelve Special Police Forces, called "Walluminati". Three go to each city and start working on public opinion towards the king ." Did you mean four?

Abundant quantities of food;

tamed and trained wild beasties, such as ants or bees;

We are prepared to transfer knowledge to you, for the sake of our combined war effort against the trash gnomes, which will allow you to train and equip axe gnomes, advanced axe gnomes, and sling gnomes. We do this the understanding that you will, as soon as you are able, transfer either civil or military technology of an equal value to us.

Sorry, Foolish, but some parts of your orders do need to be declassified. Most of it does rate as secret, though, so I'll post the bits of it that have to be posted for you.

57 gnomes to train 19 advanced axe gnomes

28 gnomes to train 14 sling gnomes
