DaNES I: At the Precipice

[flyingchicken]

Russia declares war on Spain.

 

[Disenfrancised]

OOC: If the sub was downed with all hands, how does anyone know there was a mutany?

pulling off a ridiculously overcomplicated plot to pin the blame on Spain

Frankly given some of the stuff he's tried to pull in other NESes, this kind of OTT sounds just like him

 

[Kal'thzar]

here dis is where I'd disagree, he usually attempts to pull off crazy stuff. I'd be suprised if it had worked this time.

Course there is the complicating factor that the USA decalred war in the update.

Law of averages: eventually one of the crazy schemes will work .

Greece declares war on Canada, citing their annoying neutrality. Our massive invasion force will reach Newfoundland in three weeks.

LB, I'm canada.

Iggy isnt. hes not even in this nes...

Also, Britain owns newfoundland, I dont.

 

[Luckymoose]

I wasn't ready for the war but if we have to I guess the war will come.

Dachs, any reasonable powerful nation free?

 

[Shadowbound]

Hungary is the first one that comes to mind.

 

[andis-1]

Checked, but found it to be in very boring position. I mean, completely surrounded by allies? Where could I fight my war?

 

[The Strategos]

I would personally favor taking command of Mussolini's Marxist revolution. You're in a volatile region, facing relatively weak opponents who don't belong to either of the major alliance systems.

And of course, das and I have been pushing for someone to take Dr. Sun Yat-sen....

Sun-Yat-who?

 

[~Darkening~]

It'd have been much easier to just ape Poncho Villa and massacre a few American border towns if he wanted to rile up attention, among several other things. So, you may conclude that Thlayli is an idiot-savant master conspiracist, somehow pulling off a ridiculously overcomplicated plot to pin the blame on Spain, or Spanish commanders (and Spanish Marxist revolutionaries) are just idiots.

Of course. How ignorannt of me to assume that just because Thy is behind it, is must be a brilliant masterpeice. I'm sorry Symph (and Thy) but you should have realized by now that just because Thlayli is the mastermind, doesn't make it a brilliant plan. Three-fourths of everything I've heard from Thy (out of everybody on the forum, Thy is the one I've talked the most to) is somewhat shady, and at least half of it is complicated beyond measure. So yeah, as soon as I read that section of the update, and read Thy's rambling demand for an empire, it rang out as absurd.

That and it reminded me of a scrapped plan he discussed once .

OOC: Good job on making my people have a reason for war dark. I was waiting for French aggression.

Yes- these evil french! Daring to threaten a 'supposed'-neutral nation (Belgium of all things) from attacking Spain. Anywho, my threat is very specific- unless you attack Spain, you have nothing to worry about .

Frankly, as a neutral, I think that the Triple Alliance is very much in the wrong here. Vive la France! Good luck Spain! May peace be brought about before war needs start!

Heh. *Points to speech above*. We're screwed (I'd be shocked if the war lasted longer than two turns) but I simply can't allow a major nation to be gangpiled out of the alliance now can I?

 

[Thlayli]

Sun-Yat-who?

Just be Mussolini, the pronunciation will be a LOT easier.

Now Dark, you're not exactly the one to talk about rambling speeches...

 

[~Darkening~]

I never said there was anything wrong with rambling . I just said you did it.

~Darkening~: immensely annoying when he's on the opposite side, very right and a jolly good fellow when he's on our side.

Hell- I was aiming for all around annoyance . Not my fault people keep allying with Thy! I learned from my mistake- what's y'alls excuses?! das, before I bother to whine comebacks for your reasoning, remind me who you are .

dark, I never suggested Thy/wubba did it. I specifically put the blame towards the marxist captain that we don't actually know about. If anything point your finger towards Dachs.

I blame Thy- so much easier .

 

[Thlayli]

IC slights are fine enough, though I don't typically go after people personally.

But I guess expecting the same from others is a little off the mark.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

As j_eps said, I'm not playing. I speak as a true neutral observer, having no vested interests in affecting the game right now.

 

[Toltec]

Alexander I of Serbia and King Danilo II of Montenegro hereby declare the union of these two great nations for the greater glory of the Southern Slavic peoples. The Southern Slavic Kingdom of Serbia and Montenegro will be a parliamentary monarchy with Kings Alexander and Danilo becoming joint heads of state, however in the not to distant future the two royal houses will join with the marriage of Prince Alexander of Serbia to Princess Elena of Montenegro. Both Kings have agreed to abdicate in favour of Alexander and his descendants.
Prime Minister Nikola Pasic and his government will remain in power until an election is called later this year. Montenegrins will be entitled to equal rights and liberty, and Montenegro itself will retain some autonomy.

Below is the adopted flag

Only with unity are we strong

 

[ThomAnder]

andis, you can take japan from me if you want. Sorry Dachs (i didn't think 3rd year uni will be this tough).

 

[Shadowbound]

Prime Minister de Beerenbrouck congratulates the Serbian-Montenegran Union and its peaceful formation, a testament that war is not the only option.

EDIT: OOC: In regards to PMs sent to several major powers, ignore and delete them. I realized the language may be confusing and at one point I left in parts of Germany's message in the one sent to France.

To the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, Russia.
From the Netherlands

The Kingdom of the Netherlands, alarmed by the growing threat of global war, wishes to renew, reaffirm, or ask for new guarantees of its neutrality from the Great Powers of the world. We desire nothing more than peace for ourselves, and wish assurances that we shall not become a new battlefield in the event diplomacy collapses and bloody conflict is waged in Europe and across the world.
