Multipolarity II - Game Thread

The statement of Prime Minister of China, Mr. Su Ngan-xiang on the Australian Issue:

Su Ngan-xiang : The Empire of China condems the Imperialism of both Katterland and Oz. But most of all, we condem Katterland for attacking Oz without an official DoW. If you did not agree with their actions, a Blockade would be enough and would have forced them to end the war. But instead you send an Army and kill more people. We hope that soon peace will return to Australia.

Katterland takes note of Chinese hypocrisy.

It wouldn't have been effective.

Also, we trust Katter much more than we trust anything coming out of those dirty Ozian mouths.

The Kettle calls Pot?

We of Mandatum at the idea that the Empire of China is condeming its own desires. Observe the threats the Empire of China commenced towards Somalia. We of Mandatum suggest that those citizens in the Empire of China that are not pleased with the Empire of China's imperial policies consider joining Mandatum to ensure world peace. We are Mandatum. We are peace.

From Empire of China
To all Nations of this World (including NPC's):

We call the leaders of all nations of the world to come at 17th October in China to a Party organized by the Prime Minsiter. In this party, you will eat traditional Chinese food, drink Chinese wine and hear traditional Chinese Music.

17th October is a national day in China. It is the day when King George I arrived in China. King George I, or George the Great, as he is called in China, was one of the Greatest Administrators and Conquerors the world had even seen.

In two short years, he turned a Chinese defeat into a mighty victory. In less than two years, he campaigned all over East Asia. He crushed the Mongols, he defeated the Indians, he wiped out the Demons and took over Baluchistan. He managed to unite China and create one of the largest Empires the world had ever seen. His Empire stretched from Pakistan to Manchuria and from Central India to Mongolia. Like a new Napoleon or Alexander the Great, he managed to defeat armies much larger than his and glorify the Chinese Nation.

Once the Party is over, we call you to visit the Catholic Cathedral of Beijing, were we will celebrate the memory of ''Saint George''. George I managed to bring Catholicism in China and convert the majority of the Chinese population to the new religion. Now, more than 89% of the Chinese population is Catholic. For this, he is considered by the Chinese Catholic Church to be a Saint.

Then you can go to George's Museum, where you will see personal objects of King George I, with the greatest of them being the Golden Sword of King George. This magnificent masterpiece is a Golden Chinese Style Sword that was used by King George I. You will also see a 2 hours Documentary created by the Beijing University. This Documentary re-creates George's world, as we are able to see his campaigns in the East and see his Military Genious, but also see how his arrogance (a common trait among the Great Leaders who have many military victories) caused his fall and how, like a New Napoleon, he was exiled and lost his Great Empire.

After that, you can go to see the CRF Museum and see the Personal Jet of King George I. In this Jet, he prepared the ground for the War of Chinese Independence.

In the end, you can see the Chinese Movie ''George the Great''.

We hope that you will come in the party and that you will learn more about this Great Chinese King. We also hope that representives of the Union of China will come, because, as they are Chinese, they will have more interest in this Golden Age of the Chinese Nation than most foreigners.

King George I the great, The Conqueror, The Saint, The Man, The Legend, The Emperor, The Founder of Modern China:

 

[NinjaCow64]

We come to your party if you don't invite London and Oz and if you invite King Katter.

I'll even wear a tuxedo!

Bold, you're made of energy. You can't go into a tux.

I can dream. Hmph!

Sigh.

 

[Dem Taqat]

Katterland, where the rest of the world failed to act or even support financially or diplomatically the Formatic Empire in any way, has come to the assistance of the innocent defender party in this struggle against Oz, which Katterland notes invaded the Formatic Empire without A SINGLE shred of justification in a blatant war of aggression precisely in order to end the threat of a dangerous source of conflict in the region, and bring just retribution to Oz for its gross misdeeds.

The rest of the world attempted to act through the UN, but attempts to resolve the situation through a legitamate authority were voted down by states including Katterland. Trying to claim you were the only nation acting to protect them when you had voted against international intervention is the hight of hipocrisy.

In fact, looking at the votes the UN community acutally voted to send peacekeepers (6 ayes to 4 nays, not counting involved nations and NPCs), which means that your claims we were doing nothing are completely absurd.

[Double A]

You could always have your human host wear a tux.

 

[Ailedhoo]

Mandatum is intrested in this party. We will be sending our own party to your party to ensure fun. One of our recent leading members will come to serve as a primal represenative.

That's a statement against someone's will if I've ever heard one.

Neo-London is overjoyed at the shift of balance of power in Australia to Katterland. The imperialists and Formatics no longer will become major world powers.

Spoiler :

Jack Grimes ears rang from the eruption of cheers and the Judge's hammer rapping the table to get order. The verdict had been guilty, but the sentencing was drowned out. The judge, descended from some Indiana national from the exodus to the island 200 years ago, reaffirmed the sentencing.

Death.

Twenty-seven counts of murder, but he was only involved in one. That didn't stop the London authorities from charging him and three scores of others with the murders, and throwing the death penalty to 57 of them including him. The other three were found non-guilty. As the Inquisition dragged him out of the court, he wondered what would happen.

They stuffed Grimes in the back of one of four military hover vehicles with thirteen other people. The last thing he remembered as the van filled with a strange gas was the van lifting off the ground...

"The rioters have arrived, Dr. Huddleson."

"Where are they?"

"Each has his or her own cell. Three are demons."

"Then we're going to have to take special care of them, aren't we?" Huddleson giggled.

Facility #17's crew had a darker sense of humor than the workers at Fifteen. Maybe it had to do with the work, maybe it was the isolation of the facility, or maybe it was because a sense of humor might have been searched for amongst possible candidates. In any case, the Facility had enough prison cells for the Fifty-Sixers easily. "Please escort a demon to Test Chamber #7."

The assistant scooted off, leaving Lucille to her thoughts in the small office. Even before the Fifty-Sixers arrived, Lucille had been researching them. The Inquisition graciously sent her detailed files on each and every single one of them, but the three demons were unique. Theoretically, today's exercise should be able to ignore the barrier between species. In any case, if it didn't, then a test of a bell should be suited for this demon.

The control room for TC#7 looked like control rooms in all facilities. The chamber was much smaller than the test chambers in Facility Fifteen, but the weapon they tested her didn't take up a small hangar. A demon sat patiently at a steel table. An ugly site, Huddleson thought. The steel door the demon were herded through looked solid enough, no escape there. The one-way mirror, too, would prove difficult for the beast to break through.

A glass of water and a sandwich waited for the demon on the table.
***
Four Months Ago...

Loras Jackson was backed by the Foreign Inquisitors, all armed with Zepers. Papau New Guinea wasn't as dangerous as it used to be, but the team were outside Katterland designated territory. The Eastern Highlands were rough, but finding a village wasn't difficult. The village, unsurprisingly, had something they wanted right away.

So Jackson and the team waited in the village with the people there until the person who had what they were looking for die a painful, tragic death of an easily-preventable disease. Farewells were made, and the team took a part of the man's brain before they left.
***

The demon drank the water and ate the sandwich. The weaponized Kuru's incubation period had been cut down from ten to thirteen years to only a hour, which isn't what Lucille wanted.

Lucille held the recorder near her mouth, "Subject is alive, but will require substantial medical care for the rest of her life. Shaking is violent and classic symptoms are here, but risk of infection is low. Dr. Mobius and Mr. Jackson and their research teams inform me there may be several solutions to the shortened incubation period and low infection rate that do not increase lethality, which is not the goal of this project." Lucille paused. "Their suggestions will be tested in tandem with combining Kuru with Rabies."

Kuru is a prion. Rabies is a virus. This will be a tough one. Kuru can only spread if the target eats the brain of someone with Kuru (unlikely) or, at least in the case of W-Kuru, water. Rabies is spread through biting. Therefore, if it is possible to combine the symptoms of the two and boost the aggression of someone with rabies, then it may be possible to create a disease that combines the two. Lucille ran a scenario through her mind.

Patient Zero will at first feel paranoid. This paranoia will be subtle, but Patient Zero will feel that everyone is out to get her. As the Rabies+ sets in, the disease will gradually influence the mind with the intent of getting Patient Zero to spread the disease without drawing attention. It may be useful if Patient Zero is Waiter Four at a restaurant.

As the disease continues to set in, the rabies will turn the patient more and more aggressive until, finally, the patient is violently spreading the disease, mostly through biting.

Otherwise, the disease would have a long incubation period, ideally seven to thirteen years. If this is possible, then of course it means the disease will randomly lash out on a massive scale. Once the subject turns violent, this triggers an adrenaline rush which itself triggers the Kuru aspect of the disease, which begins to rapidly to tear through the brain, leaving the subject a twitching, shaking, immobilize, incurable victim.

But Kuru is a prion. Rabies is a virus.

Lucille sighed, "I'll find a way."

Ties are cool. And so are suits.

 

[Tani Coyote]

Not to nitpick or anything, but shouldn't Katter lose some stuff either, they hold conquered provinces to, if I'm not mistaken

Uprisings occur at turn start. I just applied it to Oz retroactively to make it fair to all future occupiers.

Though hmm. Uprisings DURING an invasion. I shall look into this.

Katterland takes note of Chinese hypocrisy.

I dunno. Christos has been good at using surprise blockades to push his agenda thus far.

<snip>

Is this a Dead Island reference? It almost seems like it, sans the whole undead aspect.

It makes me tingle with glee.

===

We will quite possibly see an update later today, assuming my dog's condition doesn't worsen and force us to put her down (which would quite obviously leave me in a mood where I wouldn't care to GM). I'm doing my homework so it's in in case I lose my motivation, though I'll try to squeeze in the update as well.

Here's hoping. We've seen far worse chances of survival than 50/50.

Oh god, Tani. I hope everything works out. When I had to do that I pretty much was in HeroicBSOD for a week.

[Thorvald of Lym]

From Empire of China
To all Nations of this World (including NPC's):

That the Empire believes one of the most deranged and despicable human monsters of the past millennium is a figure worth celebrating leaves us feeling nothing but pity for the country. Understanding history is not, it would seem, a high priority for your state, else you would cast "Mad King George" and his destructive ideology into the realm of empirical failure, where it belongs. We are saddened, but not really surprised, that you would dredge up such a violent and self-serving legacy amidst a period in which you have steadily crippled your international self-image. However much we feel ultranationalism to have discredited itself these past centuries, we acknowledge its appeal in binding together the masses through an emphasis on hate and aggression, when state leaders are too weak-willed to invest in more constructive means of popular inspiration.

While a proper exhibition on George's legacy would provide valuable insight as a cautionary tale on the tragic consequences of narrow-minded ambition, simply from your preamble we do not expect to find anything more than imperialist propaganda, and a decidedly slanted historical perspective that any educated, thinking individual will rightly dismiss as obfuscation of the truth.

We decline the invitation.

Spoiler Dialoglog :

MAX: Oh, I'm definitely in! It's like that verse from Macbeth: "We'll have thee, as our rarer monsters are, painted upon a pole, and underwrit: 'Here may you see the tyrant!'"
SAM: I'll confess, little buddy, I never took you for the Shakespearean type.
MAX: Have you seen Titus Andronicus?!
FEGELEIN: Celebration, you say? Celebrations call for... let's see, bullhorns, fireworks, giant SUDS flags, and revolutionary polemic. Since I don't think you have sufficient supplies of the last two, we'll make up the difference.
HITLER: <redacted>, I almost want to see how this turns out now.
VON GREIM: Sorry, I have a haircut that day.
STALIN: Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
GÖRING: Is the food free?
HITLER: *picardfacepalm*

KHIL: Tro---lo, lo lo.. lo lo lo, LO, lo lo...
ANUBIS: We might send a delegation. It's always so morbidly fascinating, poring over the ruins of dead empires...
CHUIKOV: We have better uses of our time than aggrandizing bourgeois dogma.
AL-SAHHAF: We have received no invitation! There is no historical revisionism within a thousand miles of China!
MONTEZILLA: Gimme tribute or I'll send a gazillion axemen!
SQUILLIAM: George I? I've heard of him. Wasn't he that moron that plunged Asia into the dark ages? I don't know why you'd want to waste money honoring him, when you could be worshipping me!
TRAUDL: Sorry, I have an appointment that day.
DUKE: I've got spit to do, Goldbloom!
DEMOMAN: I already don't remember what you were sayin'.
HIMMLER: Wouldn't this be, like, praising Stalin for the Holodomor, or Pol Pot for... everything?
HITLER: Well you know, there was that cult in Russia that wanted to make Stalin a sai—OH FOR <redacted>'S SAKE! SAINT GEORGE?!
BURGDORF: PLANES, YOU FAT <redacted>! DO YOU HAVE THEM?!
GÖRING: Not with that attitude I don't.
KREBS: (Is someone ever gonna tell him it doesn't actually matter if the trade route's physically feasible, that it's just an RP bonus?)
STUMPFEGGER: I get all my history online now, cross-referenced and everything.
KHATAMI: We cannot, in good conscience, accept this invitation, given George I's aggressive policies in attempting to suppress, if not outright eliminate the Islamic faith in his China.
VERNON: Flippin' heck!
GREENGRASS: I'll come. For-for-for the cultural experience, of course.
BLAKETON: Well, there goes my vacation.
GREENGRASS: Just-just-just-just lay off, Blaketon! It's probably a bunch of junk anyway, so who cares if some of it goes missing?
BLAKETON: You do realize, Greengrass, that comment could be construed as conspiracy to commit a crime?
GREENGRASS: Well-well-well-well unless you have proof, I don't think you've got any right to pester me like this.
MEYER: Oh, can I run a book signing on the side?
HEWEL: I'm afraid we won't be able to accept this invitation.
MacARTHUR: Only if you visit our monument commemorating our ongoing liberation of the Filipinos.
AGUINALDO: If so, you can count me out.
GORDON:
BINKS: Dissa bein' a muy opportunity for da spread of da Sithie influence!
M: You have a very... curious idea of what constitutes a great leader.
VON ESLING: We have no interest in promoting the memory of tyrants.
STAVROS: I agree with what this man says.
WEIDLING: Pakistan remembers George's era well, and for that reason, we shall not attend.
SPEER: As does India; as is our response.
GRADENKO: Ditto.
ALBRECHT: There is not a day goes by we are not ashamed of what we inadvertently wrought upon the Asian continent.
HITLER: Oh calm down Denmark, it wasn't your fault! George just had a screw loose. ...OK, more like they'd lost all the screws and held him together with masking tape, but the point remains...

Oh right - Timeless. Feel free to join, the more the merrier.

If an NPC (white countries) is in your way, I will commence ethnic cleansingconvince them to move elsewhere.

Dead Island?

Oh, my mistake then. That game's virus is a weaponised kuru prion that's mixed with HIV and the effects take hours rather than years.

Oh god, Tani. I hope everything works out. When I had to do that I pretty much was in HeroicBSOD for a week.

:/ hoping for the best.

Much appreciated! I'll be sure to let everyone know how things turn out.
