Guys, never call Lighthearter by the wrong diminutive. He'll meta penalize you. Which happens to be against the IOT rules, but eh. You called him the wrong NAME! I mean really, guys.

Please do not spam this game. Spamming is in violation of the rules on page one.

-The Man

Criticism is spam I see...

Lighthearter should consider apologising for threatening to penalize people over a simple light stuff on Chatango (which by the way is off site).

"GM authority" does not override the community rulings of this site.

I believe I just said "don't spam."

If you have a complaint, send it to me privately and we'll talk. Do not attempt to stir up drama in my games. What happens in chat happens in chat, and is not relevant to a game on these forums.

Penalty issued.

-The Man

First: if you cannot take criticism then you should reconsider being a GM. One cannot be fit to rule if they cannot take criticism.

Open criticism is a consideration of public pointing, especially over such acts as threatening to penalize a player over a comment made over in Chatango. I believe the mods are not fans of such penalizing...

Hence the notion you issued a penalty is rather question. To consider the wisdom of Tyrion Lanister: if you cut out your critic's tongue your not proving yourself strong; rather you are proving you are scared of what the critic has to say.

Finally: penalizing someone over criticism is likely to result in the other people viewing you with question and reconsider joining a game with you as a GM. People like to know that their GMs can handle stuff and not overreact to the most smallest of things, especially for stuff that is off site and to criticism.

At the moment and through the end of the week, I am traveling on business and have very limited time to moderate CFC. Such disputes as this above, should not happen and need someone to step in. If you cannot keep chat disputes out of games here, I will just close the game. Please try to keep your posts game related. Use Argentina for your spam. And LH, don't penalize players for none game actions, that is just tacky and immature. If you all can't play nice, and I her that you continue to squabble over such petty stuff, I will close the game until I am back home on Saturday. Thanks.

The Great Turan Requests trade with the following nations:

The United Megrheg Wali Emirates
Republic of India
Commune of France
The People's Union of Poland
The Watcher States of Indonesia


We are hesitant about trade with the Fourth Reich until they reveal more about their policies, as their flag doesn't make us feel all that warm in side and we would rather not associate ourselves with a Nazi regime.

 

[Ailedhoo]

The Wali Emirs are open to trade. The Great Turan and others will find us excellent to trade with.

By the way we may require a little... tithe for the usage of the Gibraltar Straight, just maintenance aiding costs to help pay the wages of the people set to guard and keep clean the Gibraltar Straight. The tithe will not be much and will ensure that taking the Gibraltar Straight will be a lot cheaper than going all around the cape of Africa or trying to get to New York from Rome by heading on a eastwards journey. Just a consideration to help enhance the economy of us all.

OOC: Because I want to claim only 4 damn provicnes (and all of them ruled by China in RL today or where under the control of the Qing), I am going to make it clear: Tibet, Taiwan, Sinkiang and Mongolia will be Chinese. If anyone has probelm with this or claims those 4 provinces, it will be considered an act of War. So no.

IC:

The Uyghur region (Sinkiang) is a problem. The Uyghur people are Turkish, and have been under Chinese Dominion since time immemorial, We kindly request that you release your claims on this land and her people. We only wish for the Unification of the Turkish People, All other peoples have their own nation, The Germans, The Italians, Even the Chinese however the Turks have not had their own nation including their entire people. As such we kindly request that you allow the Uyghur people to join the nation of their culture, ethnic, and linguistic group.

We do not care. Sinkinag has been Chinese and ruled by Chinese, as yous said, since time immemorial. It is part of the Chinese nation. If you claim this province, we will have to declare war on you.

However, I offer a NAP to your nation.

From China
To Russia and India:

We offer a defensive alliance.

 

[Lighthearter]

According to my spreadsheet:

I am missing bases for -

-SSA
-Great Turan
-Fourth Reich
-China
-Second Lenin

I am also missing the traits and superweapon for the SSA.

You can leave all of these blank if you so desire, but be forewarned that if you do I will randomize them.

Turn 0 update might maybe be today, but is far more likely to be Thursday.

The Turks deserve a unified nation state, Like every other people on the earth! The Japanese, The Germans, The Poles, Even the Chinese have a unified nation state of people of their same culture, language, and ethnicity. The only people that don't have a unified nation state are the Turks! They have been oppressed for centuries, and the two greatest offenders are the Russians and the Chinese. We say No More! We demand a Unified State for the Turks! We Call on all Turks to shed their bonds and unite under the banner of the Great Turan! A United People, A United Language, A United Goal!

The Wali Emirates of the Megrheg are keen to ensure your stance is strong. We offer a defence pact to ward off aggression to either of our two powers, while at the same time issuing our support to the Turkish claimant to the Uyghur region.

Union of Socialist Constitutional Monarchies

Spoiler :

Claims in brown (Canada). Naval base in Halifax (Quebec), Army base in London (Ontario), and Air Base in Edmonton (the Praries). Mass Insurrection is our Superweapon.

Description:

Founded after the Glorious Revolution of 1957, the Union of Socialist Constitutional Monarchies is composed of eight separate Realms: Columbia-Fraser, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and the Atlantic Union. The head of state, naturally, is Queen Elizabeth II, and her representative governors. Just because we're socialist doesn't mean we're a bunch of indecent Republicans! The capital has been moved to Winnipeg (Prairies) in order to distance ourselves from the capitalism of old. Three territories are also directly ruled from Winnipeg: Alaska Territory, Yukon Territory, and Northwest Territories. [insert description of Communist economics]. Everyone is equal (sort of). The USCM is famed for being particularly Airborne and Industrial.

M.J. Coldwell, the leader of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (the only political party), is the Chairman of the People's Parliament in Winnipeg. He rules through a brutal personality cult. Most political dissidents are currently working in mines and forestry camps in the Northwest Territories.

 

[Bowsling]

The USCM would like to propose that the Commune of France, The People's Union of Poland, and the Socialist States of America form an international Communist alliance. We also propose free trade with the three countries listed above.

There is not a united Turkish nation. Each one of the several Turcik tribes is it's own nation. And Sinkiang is Chinese or War. End of the case. Claim Sinkiang and Chinese armies will enter Hagia Sophia.

Not end of case, for China is made up of many languages that demonstrate that China is not as united as you claim, especially as you are claiming Mongolia which nationally belongs to Mongolia. Of course there is also Tibet.

We hence support our Turkish allies in their claims and note that war would go badly for China since they would be the attacked against a united force.

Mongols and Tibetans are part of the Chinese nation.

Also, we call for the independence of Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan, once a proud nation, is now under the illegal occupation of Turkish forces who want to genocide the population, exterminate Uzbeki culture and enforce a Hitlerite Pan-Turkism.

 

[Nukeknockout]

The Commune of the Falklands accepts trade with the Republic of India & Das Fourth Reich.

The USCM would like to propose that the Commune of France, The People's Union of Poland, and the Socialist States of America form an international Communist alliance. We also propose free trade with the three countries listed above.

Being a communist country, the Falklands are moderately insulted at not being included in the above listing. Regardless, we will carry the torch of Communism.

 

[Bowsling]

The foreign minister responsible for forgetting about the Falklands has been shot. The offer extended to those countries is also extended to the Falklands.

The Falklands Commune accepts, and admires the USCM's foresight in creating a minister of forgetting about the Falklands in addition to every other foreign minister of theirs. It regrets being the cause of this unique minister's death.

The Falklands propose trade with the People's Union of Poland, USCM, and the Commune of France.

From China
To Communists:

China has a mixed economy, but it is a friend of Communists. We offer a defensive alliance and/or trade to all of you.

HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE OF US WANTING TO PERFORM GENOCIDE ON FELLOW TURKS! The Uzbeki government willingly joined the Great Turan in its quest for the unification of all Turkic peoples!
