Thank you, JongWK!
@Dragongirl: In case you want to (and none of the respective authors object), would you share? Also, I think these files deserve to be hosted on Dumpshock. Again, barring the disagreement of the respective authors. QUOTE (brasilian_shinobi) Heh, no problem. If there was one thing it touched me as "weird" when I was learning english is the lack of accents. True, must be weird for you. For me, the most baffling thing was how little writing has to do with speech. QUOTE (brasilian_shinobi) Uhm, well, I didn't know that. This way a lot of non-Native supporters could go into the fold as well, specially, the more instructed personel necessary to run a country. I *think* it was in Findley's books, but I could be mistaken. Anyway, it would only make sense. They would need them direly. QUOTE (brasilian_shinobi) Officialy? No, but they do receive a lot of formal and informal support when they ask for it but it is like your sig says. Communism is like herpes (and devil rats). Yah. Don't tell me. Ours are involved in the government again and looking to take over the social democrats. And yes, pork would be a decent approximation, I think. Sweeter though. |

What of Amazonia and Argentina and Peru? While we're at it? Do the respective writers still hang here and are willing to publish their stuff for free on the internet?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) The freelancers who worked on it would love to do that. But we're still trying to get in touch with some of the authors. If we're ever able to contact everyone and get them to approve releasing the drafts, I could certainly put them together into a single PDF. Not with the level of quality that Adam does it, but it'd be something. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

To clarify what Demonseed posted: Since Catalyst has pulled the plug on the possibility of an official release, we are trying to (re)contact all the authors involved in the SoLA project to get their approval to release their material for non-commercial purposes. We already have a number of sections/chapters greenlit (incl. Paraguay, Argentina, Amazonia, the Corporate and Crime overviews, Panama, and Caracas) besides the ones posted. We could just release the drafts on Dumpshock and be done with it, but I was kind of hoping to get this laid out proper and presented as a full-blown unoffficial sourcebook.
PS: I have a couple of volunteers lined up to handle the layout, but they're not going to have time available to do this in the next month or so. So anyone interested in helping with this side of things, please drop me a line (my address is in my profile). |

That would be really great. Of course, that doesn't mean raw chapters as a preview aren't appreciated – just in case. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
As for Bolivia: [ Spoiler ] I like. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Unfortunately its been a good ten years since I last fooled around with, or got any training in making PDFs. I'd be willing to learn and give a hand, but I also don't believe I have the software. (Still if no one else had been on this, I would have given it a go, I'm certain someone else can do this part much better than I could.) |

Where is the hint in Bolivia about the bugs? I'm reading and reading and can't find the foreshadowing the OOC section refers to.

So, this is sort of off topic, but where do I find more information on Uruguay?

There might be a couple random references here and there, "[Corp X] was rumored to be developing [Product Y] in a top secret lab in Uruguay", but I don't think any significant body is there. |

Supposedly, a LoLA draft for Uruguay exists. You just have to hope it is posted here eventually.

No country writeup/SoLA draft exists for Uruguay since it was decided in development that Uruguay was no longer a sovereign nation in 2064. I have no idea whether that's been changed in the Almanac. It did get a very brief profile in the Amazonia chapter since it is the focus of one of Amazonia's several separatist movements (financed by Aztlan and Argentina). Sheesh, I really need to get my Argentina draft up to put that last bit in context...

Please. Really, Argentina is one of the two nations I was very much looking for (the other being Amazonia). HAs Argentina swallowed Chile, as it did in CP2020, or does Chile still exist?
