So the debriefing map messages we have are the once you see flashing when the map is loading.

Some examples are,

Destabilizing Governments
Plotting Bombardment Trajectories
Grooming Assault Beaches
Initializing Bugle Wave Forms
Rousing Troop Data
Pulling Rank Files
Rationalizing Defeat Matrix
Immanatizing the Eschaton
Lubing Hamster Wheels

I am putting out a call for user suggestions to add to the listen.

The basic format is to combine some technical aspect with something game related in a humorous or otherwise perponderous way. Ofcourse interesting deviations are welcome.

So I am accepting two formats, one is a general statement and one is a map specific statement, like for the Brittish Isles we can have "Anticipating tea time" or something like that.

So give it a shot, what can you come up with.:beer:

[This thread will be re-CLASSIFIED when we have enough good entries]

Do we have the general master list somewhere so people can see what we have currently and avoid dups or use to get ideas?

Nope, just roll them off the top of your head, like this,

"Beveling hillbilly populations" for the USA map.

See what I did there?

Europe styles itself upon being the most cultural of all continents...?!

Like the new UK/USA ones...

Cultural and xenophobic? I guess that means they not multi-cultural.

Asian Map or World map- Sinking S. Korean Ships
Asian Map or World map- Activating "Peaceful" Nucular Reactors (ie: Iran)
World Map- Formenting Israli-Palestinian Peace (ie: usually "formenting" is used for, "Formenting War".)
World Map or USA Map- Disclosing Spy Locations
World Map or Asian Map- Reanimating Vladimer Putin (ie: Some think he acts like a robot)

Sorry, I don't think I'm very good at this.

"Putting the kettle on" seems appropriately British
"Bridging Troubled Waters" for anything with rivers

Other thoughts include:
Preparing Propaganda
Assembling Trojan Horses
Rounding tables
Designing shrubberies

Perhaps it's their awareness of their own Cultural Soccer Fans that Warrants their Xenophobia? :viking:

How about "Burning Dinosaurs" or some such oil-related line for the US (or perhaps the world)

@Borgified not sure how sensitive/PC we want to be here, but I think the S Korean entry wouldn't exactly endear MajorCom to many here in Korea. But I'm not sure who the intended audience is either

Here are a bunch that I've heard in the past for "interesting" things put on an employee evaluation... but some of them are generic enough that they might work here too!


The oven's on, but nothing's cooking.
The wheel's spinning, but the hamster's dead.
The gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming.
Depriving a village somewhere of its idiot.
Still trying to figure out that one about the chicken and the road.
Having delusions of adequacy
Just fell off the turnip truck
The lights are on but nobody's home
