LuckNES2: The Fatal Balance

[Symphony D.]

TO: Great Britain
FROM: Greater American Union

Treachery is defined as a willful betrayal of trust. The Greater American Union has never trusted perfidious Albion, and, given the lengths to which Britain has gone to infiltrate, destabilize, steal from, and counter the GAU and its former constituents of Canada and the FSA, it would appear Britain held no trust either. The only things that are hollow are you pathetic attempts to try and once more attain a moral high ground now that Britain's decadent and spiteful international behavior is laid bare for the world to see. We must give you credit however for your attempts to invent new insults, although we have no idea what that "fascist" word is supposed to mean.

Unless Britain wishes to announce its formal surrender and the cessation of its subjugation of its colonies and the rendering of them to full self-autonomy, we are not interested in hearing further communication from the rogue British state.

OOC: Not quite as bad as I expected. At least they didn't suborn Ireland. How is it that a liberal democracy can suddenly attack a friendly liberal democracy with little justification, all of which is faked anyway, and not suffer some sort of public outcry?

OOC: Simple answer? You are most certainly not friendly, rather unliberal, and your "democracy" is quite iffy to boot. Cheap dismissals of evidence against you as "fake" are rather laughable too, given everyone knows exactly what you were up to. Everybody of note is already fighting you anyway; who do you hope to win over with such flimsy excuses? If that's the best you can do in terms of defense of your actions, don't even bother trying to defend them at all; all it does is make you look bad. You're not winning any points from anybody by denying the things you did. If anything, you're just digging your grave deeper. If you'd like to continue to refute them, I'd be more than happy to detail all the relevent points of what exactly you were trying to do in my country as related to me in intelligence reports--intelligence reports which were debriefed to the citizenry prior to a declaration of war. If you want you can claim I fabricated those too, and the dozens and dozens of British spies I hauled in, and British forward bases I raided were all faked, but I do believe we are all quite aware of who, exactly, is lying in this instance, given how the allied forces are stacked up in this war.

You screwed with the wrong people. Reap what you sow.

 

[Perfectionist]

Unless Britain wishes to announce its formal surrender and the cessation of its subjugation of its colonies and the rendering of them to full self-autonomy, we are not interested in hearing further communication from the rogue British state.

OOC: You are terribly behind the times. The colonies, as you call them, are already domestically autonomous, with the exception of the Indian holdings.

Cheap dismissals of evidence against you as "fake" are rather laughable too, given everyone knows exactly what you were up to.

OOC: Would you be so kind as to fill me? I am done for anyway, so at least tell me what you think I did.

I'd be more than happy to detail all the relevent points of what exactly you were trying to do in my country as related to me in intelligence reports

Please do.

 

[Symphony D.]

OOC: You are terribly behind the times. The colonies, as you call them, are already domestically autonomous, with the exception of the Indian holdings.

OOC: Economically isolated. Great Britain trades with no one but itself. Political freedom requires (and historically is generated and perpetuated by) economic freedom. Either seperately is worthless. Hence, it doesn't matter what "rights" your colonies have, they remain economically shackled to the British Isles, and as such, remain effectively slaves in our eyes, and Britain itself is a blood-sucking leech on the world economy and the freedoms of those peoples. Again, I am fully aware of your situation, and attempting to explain it to me gets you no love or understanding from my corner.

[06:54:13] Luckymoose56: stil ltryign to steal weapons and using secret bases on small islands within your borders
[06:54:20] Luckymoose56: uninhabited
[06:56:15] Luckymoose56: oh trying to Spread their influence to Japan
[06:56:22] Luckymoose56: through Chinese trade
[06:56:56] Luckymoose56: tryign to cause anti-union groups within Latin America and English americas
[...]
[07:02:19] Alec Walton: You say Britain is semi-isolationist.
[07:02:35] Alec Walton: By that logic, declaring a blockade upon them would not impinge upon our economy much?
[07:02:42] Alec Walton: Or, at least, an embargo?
[07:02:45] Luckymoose56: you're right
[07:03:02] Luckymoose56: they only trade within their alliance system

You can say whatever you want about "playing the espionage game" and "everybody does it" but the fact remains, you got caught doing some very unfriendly things. The establishment of bases was also particularly poorly thought out. You crossed the line with that one.

 

[Perfectionist]

I am annoyed. It would seem that Luckymoose has badly misinterpreted my orders.

they only trade within their alliance system

This really pisses me off. The only possible explanation is that the rest of you are paranoid protectionists. Half of my orders for the last three turns have been concerned with the elimination of all conceivable barriers to trade.

tryign to cause anti-union groups within Latin America and English americas

I did this, but it was really intended more as a reminder to Luckymoose about the probability of such things happening.

oh trying to Spread their influence to Japan
through Chinese trade

This makes no sense. Japan and China are enemies. How does trading with China influence Japan? And I did try to trade with China, but only because I tried to trade with everyone.

stil ltryign to steal weapons

That is an outright lie. I am not so stupid. I stole your rifles thirty years ago, as you probably know, but I have done nothing since then. There isn't much of a tech gap at the moment, so why would I do that?

The establishment of bases was also particularly poorly thought out. You crossed the line with that one.

I didn't do it. At least, I didn't do it in your territory. I did put a couple dozen people in the western Amazon to keep an eye out for Portuguese troop concentrations, but that was all.

 

[The Farow]

From Greece
To Serbia

We would like to purchase your small enclave of land on the Aegean Sea. It is populated by Greeks and considered a part of the Greek nation before the invasion of the Ottomans. We are willing to pay 1 EP for the tiny piece of land.

 

[silver 2039]

FROM: Great Britain
TO: Those evil, deceitful, warmongering, hypocritical, fascist protectionists that are currently at war with us

How hollow your fine words ring now. Such brazen treachery is only to be expected from the Americans, but we might have thought better of the USEC. Nevertheless, it would seem that you have the whip hand, for the moment at least, and so we have no choice but to ask if you are interested in making peace. We fully expect you to ignore this message and continue the war until our destruction, but at least your true nature will become even more apparent to your citizens and the world.

Hypocrites? Hypocrites? Britian DARES has the balls to call us hypocrites? Remind us again who waged a war of agression for 20 years against the Indian people with the goal of enslaving them? Who invaded and occupied th eternity of South East Asia? Who enslaved countless African and Asian nations for decades? Who wiped out the natives of Australia? Who crushed the free nation of Peru and turned it into a colony?

Britian.

And now Britian dares to have the balls to tell us that we are agressive and warmongering hypocrites? Britian has been \nothing but a warmongering genocidal nation with the goal of crushing and subjecgating all the free peoples of the world.

The Indian Empire will continue to wage unending war against Britian as long as Britian holds a single inch of land overseas, we will liberate the eternity of the Indian subcontinet and Burma from your rule, already our forces push you out of Bengal, Mysore, and Karachi. We shall toss the decpaptiated bodies of your soldiers into the ocean. And that is all that will be left of your Empire.

 

[Perfectionist]

FROM: Great Britain
TO: India

First, the glories of British citizenship have always followed as soon as the British flag has risen over a territory, and our colonies possess a higher degree of self governance than any of the territories of the Indian Empire. We have not enslaved anyone. In point of fact, we abolished slavery decades ago. Has India done the same for its untouchables?

Second, Peru attacked Britain, not the other way around, and the prosperity of South America has greatly increased under British rule.

Third, Siam attacked Britain, not the other way around, and the prosperity of Indochina has greatly increased under British rule.

Fourth, no action has been taken by the British government against the aboriginal peoples of Australia, though of course we cannot speak for the government of North Australia.

Fifth, India has pursued a campaign of systematic persecution and extermination of its Christian population. It is amusing to hear you decry genocide on the part of someone else.

Sixth, we would note that Indochina was independent from Britain at one time, and that we have ruled India at one time. Unless the Indian government possesses a time machine, we have not ruled the 'eternity' of Indochina, and it is not possible to eliminate us from the 'eternity' of India.

Seventh, we would note that no Indian soldiers have engaged British soldiers. We have been defeated by overwhelming numbers of Americans and Europeans. Any land in India that has been taken from us has been taken by rebels. Apparently the Indian army is afraid and needs to hide behind foreigners and civilians. Civilians, we would add, who have been under British rule. Apparently our merits are so strong that simply being in a territory ruled by us is enough to add ferocity and courage even to the degraded character of a wog.

Eighth, we would note that we have many enemies at the present time. It is difficult to succinctly describe all of them. If hypocrite is not applicable to you, protectionist surely is, and that is a far blacker epithet.

In sum, we would suggest that the Indian ambassador be quiet and try not to embarass himself the next time he opens his mouth.

 

[Kentharu]

Lurkey:- He he he, go silver

 

[~Darkening~]

Japan merely wishes to state its reason for war with Briton and her her ally, Ireland: our alliance with the GMA. As you would stand by your allies, we have chosen to do such. Peace must be made first with them before we shall consider it.

 

[Perfectionist]

Britain expresses its complete understanding of Japan's position. We realize that they have no more choice in the matter than any other American soldier and hold no grudges against them.

OOC: Britain, people, please. It isn't that difficult.

Everybody of note is already fighting you anyway; who do you hope to win over with such flimsy excuses?

It was OOC, you know. I don't want to win anyone over. Take it as a simple desire to clarify what happened.

OOC: Economically isolated. Great Britain trades with no one but itself.

A pertinent excerpt from my BT orders

Continually reduce tariffs and restrictions on trade. The goal is to reach a state where trade is completely free.

If I am isolated, it is by no design of mine and I want to know how it happened.

 

[~Darkening~]

Eheh- You haven't realized that my goal in NESing has become to annoy the most people possible? But anyways, realize now that there will be no transfer of colonies back. It was only a matter of time before I expelled Swiss out of Asia (my origional plan) and, due to your own alliance, it would have led to war with you. Symph just sped things up.

 

[Niklas]

OOC: What I find most amusing, here and in other games, is that everyone seems to expect the mod to tell the universal truth in all things. Why would he? Lucky obviously did what he could to make the game as "interesting" as possible .

Oh, and I can't help but laugh at the irony:

American Intelligence Agency: Mr President, they have secret bases from which they threaten our nation and our people. We must act!
President: Oh the perfidy, we must attack before they do. Quick, we go to war!

*Lots of fighting, calling of names and other loud and unpleasant things.*

President: We've won the war, but we didn't find any bases. Where are they?
AIA: Umm, oh, well, you see...

 

[silver 2039]

First, the glories of British citizenship have always followed as soon as the British flag has risen over a territory, and our colonies possess a higher degree of self governance than any of the territories of the Indian Empire. We have not enslaved anyone. In point of fact, we abolished slavery decades ago. Has India done the same for its untouchables?

The glories of British citizenship? Then I suppose that the Indians of Mysore, Bengal, Bombay, Karachi, the Siamese, the Burmese, the Malays, the Abroginals, the Amerinds, the Peruvians, and the Negro all had the right to contest in British elections I suppose?

The Indian Empire is a far freer and has always been a far freer nation than Britian. We are a Constitutional Monarchy. We have a bicameral legislature, we have elections, we have a Constituio, we have govenors and a civil service. We banned the caste system over 50 years ago, and all parts of our Empire are equal be they Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, or Sikh. Has Britian the same degree of freedom and religous tolerance?

Second, Peru attacked Britain, not the other way around, and the prosperity of South America has greatly increased under British rule.

On the contrary Peru sought to liberate the enslaved people of the Plate from your oppressive rule. Unfourntatley they failed and they too were enslaved by you, Peru under its own rule had massive prosperity of its own, similar to the Greater Indian Empire. Both were destroyed by you.

Third, Siam attacked Britain, not the other way around, and the prosperity of Indochina has greatly increased under British rule.

Once again you are mitaken. The revisionist history of Britian's nationalists reveals itself. Siam attacked Britian in order to protect its long time ally and trading partner the Greater Indian Empire which was at that time coming under attacking by the evil forces of Britian who were dedicated to the enslavement of the Indian people.

Fourth, no action has been taken by the British government against the aboriginal peoples of Australia, though of course we cannot speak for the government of North Australia.

Fifth, India has pursued a campaign of systematic persecution and extermination of its Christian population. It is amusing to hear you decry genocide on the part of someone else.

Strange then that the Aborginals were wiped out by your forces during the Maori Wars....

The Indian government has always had a policy of religous freedom and tolerance since the time of Tipu Sultan. Any action taken against the Chritistians were due to the actions of mobs not the Indian government. And you have only yourself to blame for such since the mobs who were angered by your invasion and resorted to revenge. And the Christians can only blame themselves as well due to their failure to integrate into Indian society. If they had integrated they would not have been singled out as they were.

Christians are using immoral means to convert Indian into Christianity. Sari wearing nuns enter a poor village with food, clothing and money. he rest is history. Some other methods are too immoral to even address here. We are strongly against this practice and we will fight whichever way possible against to counter act it.

The non-Indian peoples in the Empire must either adopt the Indian culture and language, must learn to respect and hold in reverence the Indian religions, must entertain no idea but those of glorification of Indian race and culture, i.e., they must not only give up their attitude intolerance and ungratefulness towards this land and its age-old traditions but must also cultivate the positive attitude of love and devotion instead-in a word they must cease to be foreigners, or may stay in this country, wholly subordinated to the Indian nation, claiming nothing, deserving no privilege, far less any preferential treatment-not even citizens' rights.

Thus, the seeds of today's Indian Jagriti (awakening) were created the very instance that an invader threatened the fabric of Indian society which was religious tolerance. The vibrancy of Indian society was noticeable at all times in that despite such barbarism from the British

Sixth, we would note that Indochina was independent from Britain at one time, and that we have ruled India at one time. Unless the Indian government possesses a time machine, we have not ruled the 'eternity' of Indochina, and it is not possible to eliminate us from the 'eternity' of India.

We would have thought the British government would have better things to do than to argue sematics, while their cities were being bombed. It seems we were mistaken.

Seventh, we would note that no Indian soldiers have engaged British soldiers. We have been defeated by overwhelming numbers of Americans and Europeans. Any land in India that has been taken from us has been taken by rebels. Apparently the Indian army is afraid and needs to hide behind foreigners and civilians. Civilians, we would add, who have been under British rule. Apparently our merits are so strong that simply being in a territory ruled by us is enough to add ferocity and courage even to the degraded character of a wog.

And once again the foolish white man is mistaken, perhaps the ignorant nature of the white barbarians is reason for this. As we speak there are currently no less than 150,000 troops withing your territory and more are being deployed, your forces have been pushed back, your ships have been destroyed and bombed and your commanders killed. It will not be long now before the last of the British forces are pushed from their holdings in India, and South-East Asia. At any rate this will not be settled by words, but by a test of strength and arms.

Eighth, we would note that we have many enemies at the present time. It is difficult to succinctly describe all of them. If hypocrite is not applicable to you, protectionist surely is, and that is a far blacker epithet.

Heh and our economic polocies have brought us enermous wealth, and over the course of a few years our GDP has more than doubled. I beleive such results speak for themselves.

In sum, we would suggest that the Indian ambassador be quiet and try not to embarass himself the next time he opens his mouth.

And we kindly offer the same advice to the British ambassador.

 

[silver 2039]

If I am isolated, it is by no design of mine and I want to know how it happened.

Speaking for myself I have heavy tariffs on foregin goods to protect homegrown industries. Clearly this applies to you.

 

[Perfectionist]

The glories of British citizenship? Then I suppose that the Indians of Mysore, Bengal, Bombay, Karachi, the Siamese, the Burmese, the Malays, the Abroginals, the Amerinds, the Peruvians, and the Negro all had the right to contest in British elections I suppose?

Yes, they did. Even when contesting election in Britain was impossible, due to the distance involved, they had the right to stand for election in the regional parliament, which had authority over all matters save foreign policy, except in cases of national emergency. We are happy to be able to educate you.

The Indian Empire is a far freer and has always been a far freer nation than Britian. We are a Constitutional Monarchy. We have a bicameral legislature, we have elections, we have a Constituio, we have govenors and a civil service. We banned the caste system over 50 years ago, and all parts of our Empire are equal be they Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, or Sikh. Has Britian the same degree of freedom and religous tolerance?

Your governors are appointed by Emperor, not the people. That is hardly freedom.

On the contrary Peru sought to liberate the enslaved people of the Plate from your oppressive rule. Unfourntatley they failed and they too were enslaved by you, Peru under its own rule had massive prosperity of its own, similar to the Greater Indian Empire. Both were destroyed by you.

If we are terrible oppressors, explain, then, why the people of Peru overwhelmingly support Britain?

Once again you are mitaken. The revisionist history of Britian's nationalists reveals itself. Siam attacked Britian in order to protect its long time ally and trading partner the Greater Indian Empire which was at that time coming under attacking by the evil forces of Britian who were dedicated to the enslavement of the Indian people.

"Siam attacked Britain". Was that not what we said? We would also point out that our attack on Mysore was a continuation of the earlier Mysorean war on us.

Strange then that the Aborginals were wiped out by your forces during the Maori Wars....

OOC: It's an althist, silver. I didn't even own most of Australia and New Zealand, and I never ordered any kind of attack on the Aborigines or the Maori.

We would have thought the British government would have better things to do than to argue sematics, while their cities were being bombed. It seems we were mistaken.

It is not a matter of semantics. We are selflessly trying to educate a savage in the noble English language, that he might be able to converse in polite society. It is a further indication of the nobility of the British spirit. Of course, said savage is so completely unenlightened as to disregard our efforts entirely. It makes us wonder why we bother.

And the Christians can only blame themselves as well due to their failure to integrate into Indian society. If they had integrated they would not have been singled out as they were.[...]they must cease to be foreigners, or may stay in this country, wholly subordinated to the Indian nation, claiming nothing, deserving no privilege, far less any preferential treatment-not even citizens' rights.

Ah yes, this is the very definition of tolerant, is it not? Cease to be different immediately, or be oppressed and destroyed. We only wish that you had taught us your wisdom earlier, that we might have applied it in India.

And once again the foolish white man is mistaken, perhaps the ignorant nature of the white barbarians is reason for this. As we speak there are currently no less than 150,000 troops withing your territory and more are being deployed, your forces have been pushed back, your ships have been destroyed and bombed and your commanders killed. It will not be long now before the last of the British forces are pushed from their holdings in India, and South-East Asia. At any rate this will not be settled by words, but by a test of strength and arms.

How curious, as there currently 600,000 British soldiers in India, and none of them have reported seeing any of your men. Have you discovered some means of making them invisible?

Speaking for myself I have heavy tariffs on foregin goods to protect homegrown industries. Clearly this applies to you.

OOC: Yeah, I know. First, I would like to say that I despise the infant industry argument in all its forms. Second, that applies to everyone, not just Britain, so it doesn't really explain anything.

 

[silver 2039]

Yes, they did. Even when contesting election in Britain was impossible, due to the distance involved, they had the right to stand for election in the regional parliament, which had authority over all matters save foreign policy, except in cases of national emergency. We are happy to be able to educate you.

Contesting in elections in Britian was impossible due to the distance? Perhaps another factor was due to the color of their skin? And clearly they were not satisfied for they now rebel agianst your rule.

Your governors are appointed by Emperor, not the people. That is hardly freedom

Appointed by the Emperor WITH APPROVAL BY PARLIMENT. Yes that is very much freedom far truer than what you have.

If we are terrible oppressors, explain, then, why the people of Peru overwhelmingly support Britain?

Overwhlemingly support Britian indeed is that so? Perhaps you can explain why the Americans are welcomed with open arms as liberators then?

"Siam attacked Britain". Was that not what we said? We would also point out that our attack on Mysore was a continuation of the earlier Mysorean war on us.

No it was not a continuation. It was a seperate act of agressiona after the peace treaty had already been signed. The British trecherously broke the peace treaty, without abiding by the terms and launched a new war of agression against India which had at that point been united into the Greater Indian Empire.

It is not a matter of semantics. We are selflessly trying to educate a savage in the noble English language, that he might be able to converse in polite society. It is a further indication of the nobility of the British spirit. Of course, said savage is so completely unenlightened as to disregard our efforts entirely. It makes us wonder why we bother.

English is a barbaric lanuguae fit only for the white man. Your attempt to "educate" is merely another attempt to convert the Indian people and make them lose their culture and religon. Your true motive is revealed.

Ah yes, this is the very definition of tolerant, is it not? Cease to be different immediately, or be oppressed and destroyed. We only wish that you had taught us your wisdom earlier, that we might have applied it in India.

If devotion to one's country amounts to a sin, I admit I have committed that sin. If it is meritorious, I humbly claim the merit thereof. I fully and confidently believe that if there be any other court of justice beyond the one founded by the mortals, my act will not be taken as unjust. If after the death there be no such place to reach or to go, there is nothing to be said. I have resorted to the action I did purely for the benefit of the humanity.

Christianity is clearly an evil religon not suitable for India if it believes such:

"Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction. Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you. He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors. "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him."

As you approach a town to attack it, first offer its people terms for peace. If they accept your terms and open the gates to you, then all the people inside will serve you in forced labor. But if they refuse to make peace and prepare to fight, you must attack the town. When the LORD your God hands it over to you, kill every man in the town. But you may keep for yourselves all the women, children, livestock, and other plunder. You may enjoy the spoils of your enemies that the LORD your God has given you.
(Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)

"When you go out to war against your enemies and the LORD, your God, delivers them into your hand, so that you take captives, if you see a comely woman among the captives and become so enamored of her that you wish to have her as wife, you may take her home to your house. But before she may live there, she must shave her head and pare her nails and lay aside her captive's garb. After she has mourned her father and mother for a full month, you may have relations with her, and you shall be her husband and she shall be your wife. However, if later on you lose your liking for her, you shall give her her freedom, if she wishes it; but you shall not sell her or enslave her, since she was married to you under compulsion."

I will sweep away everything in all your land," says the LORD. "I will sweep away both people and animals alike. Even the birds of the air and the fish in the sea will die. I will reduce the wicked to heaps of rubble, along with the rest of humanity," says the LORD. "I will crush Judah and Jerusalem with my fist and destroy every last trace of their Baal worship. I will put an end to all the idolatrous priests, so that even the memory of them will disappear. For they go up to their roofs and bow to the sun, moon, and stars. They claim to follow the LORD, but then they worship Molech, too. So now I will destroy them! And I will destroy those who used to worship me but now no longer do. They no longer ask for the LORD's guidance or seek my blessings." (Zephaniah 1:2-6 NLT)

Christians and Christianty are incompatiable in India and have no place among us. They are fourtnate we merely expelled them and did not do much worse as we had rights to according to your own teachings.

How curious, as there currently 600,000 British soldiers in India, and none of them have reported seeing any of your men. Have you discovered some means of making them invisible?

Indeed, our soldiers are skilled, and stealthy. It would not be exceedingly difficult for them to evade the eyes of the foolish and ignorant white man.

 

[Perfectionist]

Contesting in elections in Britian was impossible due to the distance? Perhaps another factor was due to the color of their skin? And clearly they were not satisfied for they now rebel agianst your rule.

Only in India. Due to the complete and utter degradation of the Indian race, it was judged necessary to deprive them of their freedom until such time as they had been raised to the level of civilized men. We also find it amusing that the only one of us who references skin colour is you.

Overwhlemingly support Britian indeed is that so? Perhaps you can explain why the Americans are welcomed with open arms as liberators then?

That would indeed be difficult to explain, were it true. Happily, it is not, so no paradox is engendered and the universe may continue to exist.

English is a barbaric lanuguae fit only for the white man. Your attempt to "educate" is merely another attempt to convert the Indian people and make them lose their culture and religon. Your true motive is revealed.

Educating savages is indeed our motive. We have never denied that, for a noble motive it is. You proclaim your love of your culture, so surely you understand how we feel about our culture, which is actually something to be proud of.

If devotion to one's country amounts to a sin, I admit I have committed that sin. If it is meritorious, I humbly claim the merit thereof. I fully and confidently believe that if there be any other court of justice beyond the one founded by the mortals, my act will not be taken as unjust. If after the death there be no such place to reach or to go, there is nothing to be said. I have resorted to the action I did purely for the benefit of the humanity.

OOC: Bad form to steal lines. Also bad form to steal treaties, while we're at it.

No it was not a continuation. It was a seperate act of agressiona after the peace treaty had already been signed. The British trecherously broke the peace treaty, without abiding by the terms and launched a new war of agression against India which had at that point been united into the Greater Indian Empire.

The treaty had already been broken by Mysore.

This being the happy period of general peace and reconciliation, Tippu Sultan Bahadur as a testimony and proof of his friendship to the English, agrees that the Christians shall not be molested

You immediately undertook the wholesale slaughter of Christians in your domain.

Peace & friendship shall immediately take place between the said Company the Tippu Sultan Bahadur & their friends, and allies, particularly including therein the Emperor of the Ottomans

Mysore attacked the Ottoman Empire before Britain attacked Mysore.

It is evident that Mysore had completely disregarded the treaty, treacherously breaking the terms. We had no choice but to punish your disregard for all the established customs and rules of civilized world.

Christians and Christianty are incompatiable in India and have no place among us. They are fourtnate we merely expelled them and did not do much worse as we had rights to according to your own teachings.

How terribly amusing. The savage has a Bible. What a pity you do not comprehend what you read. The Old Testament is for Jews. It was swept away by the Lord Jesus Christ when he fulfilled the law. We keep it only as a quaint reminder of how things were before Jesus came. Now that we have dispensed with your attack on Christianity, shall we turn our attention to some of the more interesting things in the Koran?

so many long posts

OOC: Everything we had was made public and the arrests and raids were made well before the declaration of war. In fact, such declaration was impingent upon the presentation of such evidence. Since there was little in the way of resistance by the public, what we had was apparently good enough to satiate them. If there is some misinterpretation here as to what is going on regarding other people's orders, I claim no responsibility for that, as I can only use what information I have at hand in my actions.
