O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave?

O'er the land of the free, and the home of t- HOLY SHIT WHAT IS THAT

On one bright sunny day in 1812, John Madison was depressed. He was President but he felt he was lacking in accomplishments, and the nation was troubled.

"What ever shall I do to make America great again?" he asked himself.

"Reasonable policy making", said his Cabinet

"Temperate diplomacy with Europe" said Congress

"Kill yourself" said the Ghost of Alexander Hamilton.

"I know!" Madison exclaimed, "Lets invade Canada!"

And so the most pointless war in human history began

Thank you everybody that came out tonight for our very first mod night! A long while back we conducted a survey regarding how things were going in the community, especially with our monthly community event the Calradic Campaign, and the most common complaint is that there simply were not enough events!

This event featured The War of 1812, a multiplayer mod set in the titular conflict, including maps of famous battle sites and units from early America, Canadian militias, British regulars and Native irregulars.

We got to blow ships out of the water (large and small), obliterate the White House, kill Francis Scott Key and scalp a great many white man.

We wanted something more casual as well, nothing with stakes, so people can be free to experiment and do crazy and amusing things without the fear of losing territories like in the regular CC.

This by no means replaces our regularly scheduled CC events (next one in 2 weeks, first Saturday of September), but we will be looking into doing this as regularly at mid month intervals.

Once again, thank you all for coming and we hope to see you again soon!

^{Oh, who won? Well, definitely not the natives!}
