When you say continental americas, are you refering to any particular one,
or all off them (UCAS, CAS, Aztlan, NAN)? My suspension of disbelief
starts to fizzle rapidly when the number of countries involved becomes
more than two. Something similar can be said regarding how high up in the
governmental hierarchy you want the conspiracy to go and what you want the
conspiracy to effect.

I mean, the "Operation Ghost Dance" stuff Paul A., Mike B., and I are
posting now involve a bit of an international plot, but it hardly shakes
the foundations of life as we know it. We figured if Ares is working on a
new fighter, why not the Azzies, and if so, how could we work that into a
good story? The idea that Aztlan would be working on a new fighter design
didn't seem to be revolutionary enough that we would need to bring it up
on plotd, so we didn't.

I guess this comes down to witholding judgement until you clarify some of
the details. You don't have to give every little detail away, but a rough
sketch of what you have in mind for the power scale of the story would be
useful.

I'd like to know about anything going on in the UCAS government, there's
a conspiracy already in there and I don't want it spoiled :)

Shouldn't be a problem, we just need to sort out a few details so we
don't harm each others' plots.
