IOT X: The Space Race

[Ailedhoo]

My statements are not always in character. That being said, I'm sick tired of people mixing up my IC statements with OOC. Get over it, see the distinction. If its in character, there will be "quotes" or a picture of Hitler, or maybe a bold title.

OOC: the reason people place OOC at the start of a OOC sentance is because IC is the expected point of speak. A player should speak via IC, not OOC. Daedwartin speaks in IC, not OOC. Let us learn from Daedwartin's example.

Now let us focus on the game then annoyances like talking to the player via OOC as oppose to the nation?

 

[Patriotic_Fool]

Shut up both of you, you're both wrong. Go away.

 

[Arrow Gamer]

OOC: Okay guys, I can't put up with this. I'm sorry about this, but I'm OUT.

 

[Lighthearter]

Me too.

[Patriotic_Fool]

Were you even *In*, LH?

 

[NinjaCow64]

Yes, but you guys plus the strike is turning this game into mince meat.

 

[Patriotic_Fool]

I just want the turn to finish so I see if I finished ailedhoo or not. After that I careth not.

 

[ilduce349]

right as I started to

this is going to be my first OOC post

@Patriotic Fool:
I consider talking OOC to be a blatant disregard to the game. This is a roleplaying game and if your making an OOC post its normally for one of four reasons:
1. To clarify what you meant. If you have to go OOC to clarify what your character is saying, then your clearing not roleplaying properly.
2. To state that you don't actually support what your character is doing (something that I am surprised I haven't seen from you given that your playing one of the most hated men in history). This was a problem in previous IOTs when players chose to roleplay as offensive nations. First off, its probably clear that your not a fascist, I am a libertarian, yet I am playing a heavy communist nation so obviously I disagree with most (if not all) of what I have said in this game. ITS CALLED ROLEPLAYING PEOPLE! Seriously, if your going to roleplay an offensive nation, then don't try to defend your ooc political views when dong so.
3. To say something that you don't want your character to take responsibility for saying. Again, if you don't want your words to be associated with your character, then don't say them.
4. Complain to the GM about a game mechanic or something like that. This is what you did. Ironically this is the one area where I think that going OOC is allowed, however for future please say your going OOC.

I joined this IOT to roleplay, and I intend to do so properly (assuming that it continues) so please can everyone stop *****ing about OOC and stop talking in OOC, its not roleplaying when you need to clarify your statements by going OOC so please don't.

XONES:

Ramses, are you enslaving people again?

Because I just got a call, and apparently burning hail has destroyed Hawai'i and Britain.

 

[Jehoshua]

It appears other nations have embrassed the Buddhist teachings on suffering and brought this truth to those places.

 

[Tani Coyote]

Zee Ordairs are Locked.

Lotharigian War is now WW1.

 

[ilduce349]

I wasn't notified of the lock and didn't submit orders because I was waiting on the decision of if I had to be relocated

 

[Tani Coyote]

I just moved a few claims from the German border east.

But, since PF didn't expand as well, you reclaimed those areas anyway...

 

[ilduce349]

So I don't need to submit orders?

 

[Tani Coyote]

No sir I just chalked up the rest of Austria as claims.

 

[ilduce349]

thank you

Get Your War On:

Spoiler :

The plans are in!

World War I (formerly Lotharingian War)

Venice spends 5 XP to attack Gaul.
RUAC spends 4 XP to attack Caliphate.
SUDS spends 4 XP to organise defenses; 1 to counterattack.
Zulu spend 4 XP to defend SUDS; 1 to counterattack.
Imperial Germany allocates 5 XP to defense.

Scandinavia spends 5 XP to attack Imperial Germany.
Nazi Germany spends 4 XP to attack SUDS, 1 XP to attack Imperials.
Caliphate spends 3 XP to protect occupied SUDS, 2 XP to expand.
Macedonia spends 3 XP to protect Gaul, 2 XP to protect Macedonia.

Venetian soldiers storm the beaches in Gaul, and sustain heavy losses. They do, however, cut the territory off from the sea and repatriate the land to SUDS.

The Caliphate devoting much of its army to "keep peace in Europe," they are caught by surprise when the RUAC forces land a massive army on the Arabic peninsula. They fight bravely and hold off some of the invaders, but the better command strategies of the RUAC troops enable them to occupy 4 provinces.

Chemical weapons provided by Nazi Germany - chlorine, mustard, Zyklon-B - are used against the SUDS, killing tens of thousands of people and sending the country into disarray. Fortunately not many of these weapons are used on the Scandinavian front; Scandinavia's invasion is blunted by a gigantic defense, and the thousands of troops who die on both sides do little but hold the line.

The Arabs launch an attack on the SUDS from behind their defense lines, flying overhead, which weakens the defense. However, at the same time, the Nazi forces walk into a trap; as they advance on France and are caught in battle, smaller units surround them. The Nazis face a horrible defeat at Paris once again. Sheer numbers allow the Zulu-SUDS to overwhelm the Nazis despite earlier disorientation.

The Nazis do, at the very least, take advantage of the worn down Imperials to seize a new province for themselves.

In total, the Arabs gain one province, whereas SUDS gain three - two from a successful reclamation of lands east of Paris, and 1 from Gaul. Overseas, RUAC has dealt a huge blow to the Caliphate, which will now have to divide its forces between Europe and Asia. What is apparent, however, is that the war now has belligerents on three continents and is being fought on two. It is gaining increasing acceptance as a world war.

Turn IV

January, 3 AX.

Map

The war in Europe continues to expand in the number of nations involved. Joyous. Pro-SUDS forces have begun to turn the tables on the Nazi-led coalition.

Tensions have flared between Italy and Columbus but have slowly began to cool. Columbus' inking of a formal agreement with Equestria over the division of the Western United States has helped solidify peace between the powers. As such, the Pony Horde is due to expand southward; indeed, they have already taken the Panama Canal so as to secure its neutrality.

Burning hail has rained upon Hawai'i and the British Empire, reducing both to frozen ash. While SUDS surely will mourn the loss of the latter, it has at least freed up plenty of land around the world for settlement.

Sorry that took so long folks. My friend had me over at his place all night playing some Halo 4. Since 3 Wal-Marts in a row did not have All Stars Racing Transformed.

Alright, my actions have probably ballooned the war into a world war, but it was in the interests of peace. That is why I am proposing the "Withdrawal of the Caliphate" treaty of 3 AX. It follows:

-The Caliphate will sign peace with all nations fighting in World War One and will not participate in World War One any further. (OCC: World War One as defined by Tani)
-The Caliphate will return all provinces that were formerly owned by S.U.D.S back to S.U.D.S
-The Caliphate will pay 1 XP to R.U.A.C for the next five turns
-R.U.A.C will return all provinces that were formerly owned by the Caliphate, plus that extra province we took that was adjacent to your borders.

Trust me, mate, this will be the most generous treaty that will be proposed.

OCC: Tani, you say that I captured four provinces in the Caliphate when it says on the map I only captured three plus that one that was adjacent to their borders. What really happened?

 

[Ailedhoo]

To the Arabians and Macedonians.
From the SUDS.

The SUDS has suffered in war, especilly with Nazi use of chemical weopons against us. However we are sill willing to stand. Our will is strong as your power is divided. Hence we will make a suggestion: hand all land you stole from France back to the SUDS, including the last of "Gaul." strive for peace by returning land you took from a democracy and pay us resources to allow us to recover from the loses we suffered and you will begin your path to reform. If though you stick to war, to strive to keep parts of France under your rule or even conquer France... then we will fight you, we will overwhelm you... and we will arrest you. Note the will of peace and you will not face our wroth.

NC - One province settled, three seized. Miswordings happen a lot.
