'Xi is French'

 'Xī is French'  (Formerly  'Wú is French') is a leitmotif in reference to Xi. Due to his vehemence towards playing as the country of France in strategy games, it has become a trend to associate Xi with being French. It was first mentioned by Corn on the 8th of May, 2021.

 

 

 

Mark v. Coalition Game
Xi first played France in a multiplayer game during the time of the Hoivengers Steam Group. The game was created by Pyro sometime in early 2021. The main objective of the game was to halt Mark from expanding Germany. Pyro invited all Hoivengers members to join, but only Ian, Mark, Xi, and Corn were present. Before the game began, Xi was coerced into playing as France.

Ian experienced tremendous amounts of lag, and was subsequently kicked due to connection issues.

In early 1937, Mark began justifying a wargoal on Belgium. This was an immediate threat to Xi, as France had begun the modded scenario by guaranteeing Belgium. Attempting to counter Mark's aggressive expansion, Xi was preparing to defend the Maginot Line. At first, Xi temporarily halted Mark's advance. But, Mark soon broke through Belgium's frontline and crossed over the French border. A paradrop order into Paris ended the war in Mark's favour.

After the war concluded, Mark began expanding Germany through other means. Later, Mark attacked the United States and successfully landed German troops on the East Coast.

Other Instances
Since, Xi played a game of Eu4 (Europa Universalis IV) on the 3rd of April with Pyro. This expedition also ended fruitlessly for Xi, with the loss of most French territory and Paris receiving three full-sieges by Burgundy and Orleans.
