Yeah, by today's code you must have a switch at the top and bottom of stairs, for obvious reasons.

If it's in an unfinished basement it's easier.

Is your wiring all 12g? If it's 14g just use 14/3.

But yeah, you'd need to run a new 3-wire from the existing switch to the new switch. The only exception (barring bizarre crap or cheating, which isn't safe) is if you have a 3-wire running from the existing switch to the light (you probably do not), you could run another 3 wire from the light to the new switch. But that would only be easier in certain situations, and you'd still have to have an existing 3-wire ran to the light. I'm guessing it's 14/2 or 12/2.

What stairwell is this? Basement, or between the the first and 2nd floor?

First and second. I have access to everything above it's just getting a wire down that wall but I can tear out the box and fish one maybe use the old ac cable as a pull for two.

Poland is a bro, they are a close ally, and are competent. China (and Taiwan) can't be reasoned with and are constantly trying to attack us, often indirectly through Resistance Wars. They honestly won't ever work with SK or go expand elsewhere, so for SK they're just a permanent annoyance and a drain on us. They won't negotiate with SK, so /shrug. For the Jugs, they're someone who is possible to take over. Poland by comparison is a real longshot. Also kind of why Montenegro was suggestion #2 behind China, in terms of feasibility of taking over and turning into a Jugtopia.

China and Taiwan are kinda like Japan in WW2. Their pride gets in the way and they're willing to try starting fights against people they probably can't win against. And instead of cutting their losses and changing their longterm strategy, they seem to prefer to be obstinate and keep fighting a losing war - even if it results in their players giving up and quitting. And there is another issue with China, in that on the Secura server I think they are in danger of completely losing all of their territory in a similar fashion to Taiwan at some point. They've been aggressive, look vulnerable, and America just took some of their territory; China has 3 territories left and the US has 3 of theirs. It's entirely plausible that eventually China won't have any territory left.

If either Taiwan or China would be willing to bury the hatchet and work with us instead of constantly fighting against us, I think peeps in SK would be amenable to working something out, and over time that would build trust. As it stands we can't trust either of them because they're obsessed with trying to take SK down and they fuck with us at every opportunity. At this point I think a lot of people have simply thrown up their hands. Trying to work something out with them is like debating gender with Jerle or Goliath.

I mean, you're free to pick whatever target you want lol, but there were a lot of reasons that made China seem like the #1 choice (losing citizens, few allies, they've pissed off a lot of people, potentially vulnerable to a Jug takeover and their location close to SK would be advantageous to both the Jugs and SK, etc etc etc)

Blood on the ice is blood on the ice. Who cares what the score is.

Remember to try and grab a broken tooth as a memento of the game. I'm pretty sure that shit is legal tender in most of canada.
