IOT X: The Space Race

[Ailedhoo]

and therefor, Daedwartin now views each turn as about 1 year. simpler this way.

The SUDS adopts the same policy for election purposes.

That means turn 4: election time!

 

[Arrow Gamer]

When will the update be?

Just curious.

OOC: P_F, I am kindly going to ask you to next game refrain from being the Nazis. The main reason is it only makes people want to destroy you reflexively. It is impossible for one to separate nazi from genocidal conquer.

I kindly refuse. If you cannot separate simple history bias in a game from real life, the IOT forums may not be the right place for you. These games flourish on alternate-history, fun mash ups, and sometimes completely alien races and characters. I chose the 2nd 3rd Reich because I am an avid IRL fan of Hitler it is nestled snugly in between multiple nations in Europe, so plenty of action there. I intended to make the Reich a trading empire based on peace, benevolence, and prosperity, but France cut my dreams short.

As you have personally seen, I have extended the hand of friendship to Europe multiple times, and even offered peace to warring states. Even though a UN mandate was passed, France seems hell-bent on genocidal destruction.

If you don't like me playing Hitler, in short, too bad. If it's too much you can always play a different game.

 

[Arrow Gamer]

Uhhhhh, no UN mandate passed.

And there is no need to be so rude...

 

[Patriotic_Fool]

1) Yeah it passed.

2) Not rude.

 

[Tani Coyote]

I'm rolling with half a year. I'm not embracing that total anarchy that resulted from time scales in IOT IV. Sorry.

Update soonish. I was under the weather a lot today so couldn't really do much.

 

[Arrow Gamer]

1). We don't have a UN, and barely anyone voted on that resolution. So no: it didn't pass. You can't just say that a nonexistent institution says that you can do this with barely any backing and then expect everyone to follow it. Sorry, but that is not how it works, brosky bro.

2). That was very rude. You insulted him for making a very true statement about how terrible Hitler was in RL and how that influences people to dislike him, and you told him he wasn't intelligent enough to be on these forums.

 

[Patriotic_Fool]

Wait wait wait, lock hasnt happened. I got stoof to do!

 

[Tani Coyote]

You have about 6 hours.

 

[Gath_Stormer]

~3034~

 

[Tani Coyote]

I've received orders from pretty much everyone.

I'll "lock" them so I can get to work. If those who haven't turned them in get them in before I post the war post, they can still be counted.

 

[Patriotic_Fool]

Never too late for a preemptive victory post!

Get Your War On:

Spoiler :

The plans are in!

Italo-Columbian War of Aesthetic Appeal

Scandinavian Invasion of Germany

Imperial Germany Allocates 2 divisions to defense.
Scandinavia invades Imperial Germany (5 XP).

The defenses hold off some of the attack, but the sheer number and lack of a detailed defense causes three territories to fall.

Lotharingian War

SUDS defend Franco-German border with 3 XP, attack Nazis with 2.
Zulu defend Franco-German border with 3 XP, attack Nazis with 2.
Nazi Germany invades Imperial Germany (2 XP) and SUDS (3 XP).
Caliphate invades SUDS with 5 XP.
Macedonia invades SUDS with 2 XP.

The Nazis begin with a massive offensive against the SUDS; the SUDS are well-fortified with Zulu reinforcements, however, and their manpower is able to blunt the German offensive despite heavy shelling. The SUDS call it the Second Miracle of the Marne.

Less successful is the Imperial German defense; the Nazis flank the Imperial forces and capture a large swath of territory.

Most surprising is the sudden invasion of SUDS by the Macedonian and Arabic forces, with the intention of enforcing the UN Mandate. With most SUDS forces defending the North, 5 provinces are swiftly captured. The Macedonians and Arabs each manage to defeat the defenders they flank. Macedonia turns its territories over to the UN, and requests UN Peacekeeper forces to secure them.

It comes to light the Arabs had hoped to seize German territory, but were unable to get inland from the Channel to do so; the surplus forces assisted in the crushing of South France.

Overall, SUDS and the Zulu, once clearly with the upper hand, now face a 4-member strong alliance, but with good planning, they could possibly turn the tide.

Turn III

July, 2 AX.

Map

The carnage above has transpired. Need I say more?

The UN continues to be toothless with no means of growing any. The new Constitution has not seen any ratification or enforcement, paralysing the organisation.

The Rainbow Flag continues to spread into the former United States; more shockingly, much of the eastern seaboard has fallen to Italy.

The 2nd 3rd Reich

We extend our hand of peace to the Zulus, English, and Venitians.

Don't make your allies' mistakes, get out of the war now before you lose troops!

 

[Ailedhoo]

The S.U.D.S calls all G.E.D members to respond to the new aggression. Macedonia and Arabia have invaded the S.U.D.S. They will claim to do it for the UN but the UN has no mandate on the matter as the UN is let to be specially forged, while only a minority of all nations voted. Hence they have demonstrated aggression towards a regional matter.

We suggest Macedonia and the Arabian forces retreat from our land or face a allaince of not just the G.E.D but other nations in concern.

We also condem the goverment Scandinavia for invaded without reason, suggesting a cruel purpose, and issue them to retreat.

We call the international community to respond to the aggression of Macedonia, the Arabs, the Scandinavians and of course the Nazis.

The 2nd 3rd Reich was justified in its doings. Our settlers were attacked by French settlers.
According to the French, their SOI encompasses the entire Reich. They were shown to be expansionist and greedy from the start.

Now they are paying for their crimes in full, and they demand outside intervention?

This is the same France that condemned the UN and any intervention into Nazi affairs, after all.

As for the Imperialistic Pig Germans, they invaded Nazi territory in an uncalled for assault. There was no merit other than to gain more territory and subjugate more German citizens.

Both nations will pay for their atrocities, and we can only hope outside nations consider strongly before intervening in the European Affair.

After all, the Zulus' homeland has remained stagnant for the past few years. All their troops have just served for French cannon fodder and for German fertilizer. Do you want your sons to become fertilizer?

Us Nazis don't mind, we love growing vegetables in our gardens.

 

[Ailedhoo]

The Reich is once again rewritting history. Our SOI included East France which was not the natural part of Germany. The aggression of the Macedonians and Arabians is uncalled for.

 

[Daedwartin]

1) Yeah it passed.

actually, it did not pass, for their is no UN consitution to being with that has been properly ratified. Of those who voted, half voted no or on a different consitution. And only 6 of 23 nations voted on the consitution. Only 7 nation's voted on the mandate, and last count is 3 yes and 4 no. More Importantly, the mandate wasn't even legal, as it requires a consitution allowing a intervention like this. Therefor, the Arabian intervention is a ilegal act of war, the Macadonian action also illegal, and Scandinavia's actions are outright imperialism. Not one is in an alliance last we recall with Nazi Germany.

OOC: did I read correctly, but is Colombus and Da Boot at war? If So 3 conflicts currently, two of which are currently connected by virtue of involvement.

 

[Tani Coyote]

That was a typo, my bad.
