IOT Enlightenment 2: Philosophers and Kings

[bugwar]

I gave him four provinces due to the fact he joined a bit late. It's cool.

He's still smaller than everyone else.

Okie dokie.

I just thought someone had made an administrative error.

 

[Kinich-Ahau]

Orders: Expand to any adjacent empty tile.
Spend all income on spies.

Use half the spies to coup the NPC south west of me, use the other half to start a revolution/unrest in the turkey area.

You do realize that the point of espionage orders is to keep them secret right?

Romania-Yugoslavia declares war on whatever nation Patriotic_Fool is playing; we request that the Italias aid us in our struggle

OOC: In most cases I would agree with you; however there are at least two exceptions:

1. These orders are just to get our attention. The real orders will follow in a PM to the GM.

2. He may just want to send a CLEAR message to the recipient.

The problem is that public covert actions are very much frowned upon.

OOC: By you, perhaps.


For myself, I kinda appreciate the heads up on the part of an enemy.

 

[Sonereal]

And by Romania-Yugoslavia, the Celts, and Italians as well.

OOC:An enemy you know?
Now that is a treasured thing.
Much better than a friend you are not sure of.

 

[bugwar]

9/14 orders in. Gotten some really good ones so far - this turn is going to ROCK.

-L

Do you have any idea of how much fear and trepidation that fills me with?

 

[Lighthearter]

Clearly you are learning GM psychology rather fast. NEVER trust someone who is managing you and your enemies both when he starts giggling hysterically.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need a drink to soothe my throat. All that mirth really takes it out on my voice

Dene is a major economic power in northwestern North America far from the crowded venue of Europe and the tensions of the Western Pacific. The only two countries safer than Dene is the Cape and South Africa by the virtue of not having neighbors!

OOC: Also, IOT has a tropes page! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Roleplay/ImperiumOfftopicum

Iron Island Orders: 19 IPC
12 into Irregulars
3 into Ship of the Line
4 into Privateers

Pull back the Privateers from Australian waters (legitimate mistake on my part since the Chinese orders came a few hours before the lock and I was scrambling to make them)
Blockade the Philippines

Retake the Philippines with 12 Irregulars

 

[filli_noctus]

Kinich, are you not aware of the old adage?
"Never interrupt your enemy while he's making a mistake."

 

[Patriotic_Fool]

Ahem, those orders are definitely fake ones. How dumb do I LOOK?

 

[Sonereal]

Fake orders aren't supposed to be so bad that they get other countries to declare war on you. If those orders are fake, the real ones must be even more threatening.

 

[NedimNapoleon]

I am now Hand to the King, Governor of Iron China

Imperial Trait


First Edict: Bring all of the kingdoms earthworms to the capital

 

[Sonereal]

The Iron Islands opens up trade between the islands and Iron China and encourages nations to do the same to increase their own reserves.

 

[christos200]

One minute? Can someone join as an occupied territory of a nation?! This is stupid! I will have to face two players: 1 of them with imperial Trait and the other with the Sea battle trait!!

 

[Sonereal]

The discussion occurred in the IOT Chat with Lighthearter.

 

[christos200]

But this is damn powergaming. It is like one nation having two traits!!!!!!

 

[Sonereal]

I assure you that Iron China is controlled by Nedim.

We can discuss the terms of China's surrender if your several maps and war orders are suddenly thrown into a loop.
