Imperium Offtopicum

[DroopyTofu]

You could always change your name... You would be more powerful, because you would have good farmland, you'd be less vulnerable to amphibious invasions, and you'd get several major cities.

I'll ally with you, invade MD and DE, and pay you for the Carolinas and Georgia. If you want to keep just the 13 colonies, I'll go on and just claim the land in South America that I mentioned earlier.

Oh, TLO and Mathalamos, would you let me in your alliance. We made a good team last time.

Country: The Socialist State of the Ukraine

Capital: Kiev

Social Policy: Totalitarian.

Foreign Policy: Loves to medal in other countries arguments.

Color: Orange.

I only want the Alliance IF you allow me to keep ALL the states. If not, then we're just even, though a payment /would/ be nice.

"The United (Original Thirteen) States of America declares war on The Maryland Empire"

...yeah.. woudl you like to sign a nonaggression pact or something? basically, leave me alone and ill leave you alone.

 

[DroopyTofu]

What if we split it. You get the east part, and I'll take the east, using the traditional boundries of the 13 colonies. Would you agree to that?

Before everyone starts hacking into eachother(I'm waiting on my mom to go out; I'm adding the newcomers as I speak), read the rules of war on the front page please, and also make sure you find somebody to represent you in your dice rolls... remember, the person you choose must not be a member of the game.

Let's also give an example of how it works out...

If we choose one dice roll per side, it goes this way:

Maryland's representatives: 1 dice roll
Neutral's representatives: 1 dice roll
Thirteen States's representatives: 1 dice roll

Whoever wins 2 of the three dice rolls wins the battle and the ten glorious pixels they're fighting for.

To explain how it is so it's not so confusing, each representative will roll two dice; one representing the attacker, the other the defender. They will report their findings here, and that counts as their dice roll. The winner will be determined from the results. For example:

Maryland's representative rolls a 6 for themselves and a 5 for the States. They win this one. The neutral rep rolls a 3 for Maryland and a 4 for the states. The States win. The States roll a 4 for themselves, and a 5 for Maryland. Maryland won 2 of the three dice rolls, and so, it wins the battle, but since it was defensive, doesn't take any land.

Keep in mind that an alliance has advantages - each alliance member attacks as their own separate force, and as a result, both Droopy and the States could assault Maryland, doubling their chances of victory, whereas Maryland would have to attack them separately(and, attacking an area that doesn't border them, the defender would get a +1 to their score on each roll).

Also, would any support a counterattack bonus? Meaning, that if an attacker loses a battle, while they're retreating, if the former defender launches a counterattack on where the attacker came from, the attacker gets a bonus of +1, to represent the advantage of launching a counterattack? (Example: The States invade Maryland and Maryland repels them; if Maryland attacks the states, they get a +1 to all dice that represent Maryland).

ill think about it, but i wont join you in the war that you just spoke of.

 

[Omega124]

OOC: I've got two maps. Blue is me, Grey is you, and Green is The Maryland empire.

Situation One: Where I get all 13 States

RESULTS:
Alliance.
I pay you X for Y amount of turns

Situation 2: Where you get NC, SC, and GA

RESULTS:
You pay me X for Y amount of terms.

Your solution may also work. In that, Neither of us pays either. So let's choose which plan we'll do now.

(I gave you every state historiclly part of CSA except for Virginia in both and NC, SC, and GA in 1. Oklahoma wasn't technically a state yet, but was a territory of the CSA during the war).

 

[sophie]

Before we get into ho-haaing with the dogs of war and all that jazz, can we see where people stand vis-à-vis alliances?

 

[DroopyTofu]

I'd say split them, but I get Atlanta. I can pay if I need to. I suggest we use the Proclamation Line of 1763, but edit it so I get Atlanta. To the west I'll take Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Florida, Texas, and Missouri. If no one claims Illinois, Ohio, and Indiana soon, I may go on and take them to.

Can we make an agreement on this, Omega? Oh, and we'd be allies.

EDIT: I forgot Florida.

Alanta is a hard deal, but I'll accept, for the sake for the game.

 

[sophie]

Can we also set up how we are going to go about making our moves? Half the time it seems like someone sets something up and walks away, only for a million other things to happen while he's gone, making his move irrelevant.

 

[DroopyTofu]

You've got a deal.

Can I enter an alliance with TLO and Mathalamos without them being in Omega's and my war with Maryland? Is that allowed?


Confederate States of America (CSA) Specs:

Color on map: Confederate Grey

Flag: Stars N Bars, of course!

Army: Fairly modern, but dedicated, hardworking, and partriotic. They will fight for thier country willingly, and the local civilians are also armed and ready to form militias in the case of invasion.

Air Force: Not the largest, or most advanced, but well enough equipped to defend the homeland.

Navy: Decent. Like the air force, it's largly defensive, and made to protect oil and shipping interest around the Gulf of Mexico and the Mississippi River.

Capital: Nashville. Central to the most of the country, access to the Mississippi via the Cumberland River, plus central to interstates and railroads. In this world, Nashville is one of the largest cities in the Confederacy.

Economic Status: Mostly 1st World. The cities and urban areas are very modern, developed, and wealthy, but many rural areas still live in poverty. Small level of resentment between the extremes of wealth and poverty

Economic Style: Capitalist, very conservative. They believe in things such as gun rights, pro-life, no free health care, and other virtues help by the "Real world" South.

Political Setup: Modeled after the US Constitution, but with more state's rights. Oh, and BTW, Slavery is long since abolished.

Social Policy: Conservative. Of course.

Foreign Policy: Will readily ally. Long time ally with the Original United States of America. They do get annoyed with liberals.

My main antagonist is a joker this time, wanta form a military alliance, I'll donate a 1000 F-22s to your air Force.

Confederate states eh? i hereby accept your alliance proposal ( will wait for TLO to accept as well), and ill help you expand your military and industry, and of course fix up those poverty areas. all i request is that i want at least one naval base somewhere. also ill throw in a lot of gold.

unless someone (you or TLO) objects i consider Byzantium to be the strongest state in the alliance.

My main antagonist is a joker this time, wanta form a military alliance, I'll donate a 1000 F-22s to your air Force.

...what is your relationship with the Confederate states and the pacific confederacy?

 

[DroopyTofu]

I'm willing to accept that you have the best military. You can have a base in Mobile, Alabama, if you'll help me protect my oil interest in the Gulf of Mexico. Can we invite Omega into our alliance? I've already allied with him for an American Alliance.

Ooh, ooh, I almost forgot. Can we call ourselves The Alliance again?

 

[Mad Man]

I'm still not quite sure how the combat system works, and why is everybody ganging up on me? Is there no voice of reason?

OK Omega is in.

id really rather not spread out my military too much but ill assign.. 5 Byzantine Super carriers and their destroyer escorts, 1000 of the best Airplanes, and a ground army of 400,000.

the strength on the mainland (which includes that colony) is down to 2.5 million people, 35 Aircraft carriers and their escorts, a dozen battleships and around 20,000 to 30,000 planes, with an unknown number of Allied Soldiers and Ships. i sent 100,000 people and ten Aircract carriers (his nation is obviously more navy based) to guard TLOs capital..wherever that is.

( note: all aircraft carriers are the Byzantine Super carriers)
