Is there something I should know about what the President has planned for his new CoJ?
I think Joe just kind of assumes the following formula.
P+X=Blergh
Where P = player, X = new character or duty, and Blergh = death of any previous characters that person played.
And EZ, good luck on the comp...that'll teach you to use Macs! When you do get back, there's a Tilapian in your office.

Sorry, bit of a stupid question but is it possible to contact a submerged sub? And is so, in what way?

Sonar and sonobouys. Your ship should have active and passive sonar. Active sonar sends out the famous "ping," and will give you a good return on the sub's location. Passive sonar is what's being used now by your sonarman. The problem with sending out a "ping" is that the enemy (if it is the enemy) knows you know he's there, and he's not likely to sit around quietly anymore.
Sonobouys are sonar bouys dropped by helicopter. They listen passively and, if you drop enough, from several locations, which can help you pin-point the sub.
EDIT: If by contact you mean talk to, the answer is probably no, if he's running silent and submerged. If he puts up a periscope, you could use signal flags.

Personally, I prefer a torpedo in the nose. Failing that, a handful of depth charges usually sends the appropriate message.
Avast!

Umm...he said "CONTACT". If he meant "contact" as in talking to someone via radio for example, active sonar isn't good for that unless you morse with the pings.

Hmmm, to bad I can't contact them through radio or something, would make it all alot easier....
Happy Birthday EstonianZulu
Psst: Friends don't let friends use Macs. Next thing you know you'll be speaking French, sipping wine, and hanging out with your friends Gustav and Jean-Renee discussing brie and the fall of the avante-garde.

Sorry, can't tell you who leaked it. The protesters' rather "colorful" nature was mine but the leak was not.

NB: As far as I know this never was set up -- nobody's paid for Plan Tilly yet.
I thought that was the one part that was covered in the existing budget, as you would be paying a salary to partially disabled or superannuated erstwhile former servicepers instead of the same amount as a pension, and thus, had I been a mod, from my recollection without re-reading your detailed posts, would have had them existing. Besides, Loic will almost always take an opportunity for a sound bite critical of the (former?) opposition, especially somewhere where debate would not be seemly.The_Hawk said:

To some extent that is true, but the Ministry has to buy up small plots of land to put these monitoring cottages on, and that it presumably cannot afford to do until a budget gets approved. (It's a small enough amount that it wouldn't make a big splash in Eutopian budgetary terms -- probably a few million -- but it's nonetheless not free.)
There are, however, a few areas where budgetary changes aren't necessary to effectuate the stuff Tilly did last Term -- mostly things revolving around DAMERA, as the money freed up by not having to pay draftees is being turned toward better training and the educational and reenlistment bonuses created in that legislation.
EDIT: Also organizational changes that don't require new equipment -- like merging the old airborne and helicopter units into the LIRA, which was done via the Content Suggestion process.

Yeah, it would, wouldn't it. Admirals have to make the tough decisions - is it friendly, is it OPFOR, or is it a real-life enemy. Choose wisely, Admiral Tulp - or lose your boat! Mua ha ha ha ha ha cough hack hack.

What VS said. It's not the CoJ that's RIP, its' his old friend Tilly.
Josephus I said:What VS said. It's not the CoJ that's RIP, its' his old friend Tilly.
What if those two happen to be the same person? Tilly IS the foremost candidate for the new CoJ spot...

Um, yeah. It's kind of hard to do that job from beyond the grave. Or should I be upping old Hawkton J.'s personal security?
