Multipolarity II - Game Thread

[Tani Coyote]

Dog's blood cell count is up 10% in 24 hours. What was a doom and gloom day is now brighter than ever. Now, on the game:

Tallying UN votes.

USSR's proposal to rename the world's various Stalins: overwhelming failure.

USSR's proposal to feed the corpses of dead Formatics to the Russian people: immense failure.

===

Bengal proposal to close the canals to China: 8-4. Measure passes.
Bengal proposal to condemn China: 9-3. Measure passes.

Both Bengali proposals, while passing, nonetheless are moot as they are conditional on China's continued blockade on Somalia, which is no longer true. These are part of a single resolution.

Bengal's proposal to deploy peacekeepers to Formatisan: 8-4. Peacekeepers are to be deployed at turn's end if Oz does not cease hostilities. Formatistan is earmarked to receive 7 gold in UN aid, to go directly into their industry and revive their damaged economy.

===

London proposal to class Formatics as subhuman. Pretty solid rejection in the SC.

===

Peru's proposal for a world bank: Unanimous nays / abstentions.

===

Katterland's proposal to remove the UN's power to close trade routes: 7-7. Tie. No action taken.

===

Union of China's proposal to expand and repurpose Interpol: Unanimous ayes. Passes. Interpol is now the UN Intelligence Committee, and has expanded its powers and ability to collect recruits from abroad.

===

Partitionania's proposal to moderate NGOs in the UN: Overwhelmingly passes. Mandatum, the League, and BFA are henceforth required to have the approval of the Security Council (the measure must be introduced by a sitting UN member state) in order to provide input.

The Union of Nations is now open for business again.

 

[Patriotic_Fool]

Yay, the dog will be fine!

 

[Ailedhoo]

Mandatum wishes approval to be able to speak at the UN.

 

[Tani Coyote]

Mandatum will need to find an ally willing to sponsor the resolution for them in the UN, as per the resolution's terms.

Same goes for the other two NGOs.

Let zee bribing commence!

Partitionania's proposal to moderate NGOs in the UN: Overwhelmingly passes. Mandatum, the League, and BFA are henceforth required to have the approval of the Security Council (the measure must be introduced by a sitting UN member state) in order to provide input.

Well I'm fine then

 

[Ailedhoo]

Mandatum entrusts its freinds in the GCI will consider a resolution to allow Mandatum to speak in the UN.

 

[filli_noctus]

The BPA is unconcerned by this resolution, at the present time we have no desire to address the Union of Nations.

The aural implant embedded in his eardrum demanded Malcolm's attention, alerting him to a waiting message. With a thought he dismissed the alarm and sat on his narrow bed to lessen the upcoming disorientation. Another thought sent the message to the implant on his optic nerves, a short string of text scrolled past his vision. It was coded, but only used a low-security cryptogram with which Malcolm was so familiar he could practically read it as plain text. The message was simple "Directive X607 is now in effect".
Malcolm was familiar with X607, or at least the part of it he was supposed to play, that had taken two whole days to decrypt. It shouldn't be too difficult, after all he was an expert and the target was practically begging for his attentions, if he wasn't such a professional he might have already done it just to amuse himself.
A number of blue dots in his peripheral vision, generated by his optical implants, indicated that his team were coming online for instructions. Activating his neural transceiver he gave the order.
"Operation X607/B4A is go. Proceed as planned." The dots flashed orange in acknowledgement before fading from his vision.
Malcolm opened his cupboard and took out the equipment he would need. No guns, completely unnecessary for this operation and far too visible. What he needed was far more dangerous.

ooc: seems like the BPA managed to snitch some of that sweet weaponised kuru Londons working on, or they stole one of Katters trademark mind-control hats.

 

[Double A]

snip

That means go vote on my amendments. They're actually not things I created out of spite.

 

[filli_noctus]

ooc: I think you are getting us confused with terrorists, that kind of thing is more Mandatum's cup of tea. Me, I prefer Earl Grey.

 

[GenMarshall]

What was a doom and gloom day is now brighter than ever. Now, on the game:

I wish my life would brighten...

*heads off to the Rants thread*

 

[Double A]

Watch more ponies.

 

[Tani Coyote]

I was going to suggest prayer, which has been what I've been doing, but sure, ponies work too.

Ahem, anyway, back on topic:

I am not sure what shall become of Bengal. While I've taken over management of it this turn in case Dem decides to return, it and Prussia have become inactive, and so I need to debate whether to split these nations up akin to Louisiana's civil war or continue them running under NPCs.

Could possibly make them no different from minor NPCs - coup is staged, chance of civil war.

That -also- means I have to define theire foreign policies, however, which would possibly get messy. So I would probably just need to make them isolationist.

As it stands, the Corporations are already some mishmash of major and minor powers (they have Security Council seats like majors, but have trade inhibitions like minor powers, etc.), so that makes it even more questionable what to do with Bengal and Prussia.

8 / 28 orders in thus far.

 

[topsecret]

I just got my orders in.

 

[Double A]

You should make them medium powers.

 

[christos200]

Actually, I think that you should make them a major power that cannot be couped or become client.

 

[Sonereal]

Err, no. Rather not just have a solid brick of isolationist stupid sitting around in Asia.

Just cut the whole thing up into pieces and make the pieces minors.

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

Something's come up IRL and I may be leaving town Thursday; I don't know if I'll have 'Net access and I probably won't be back until next week.

I'll try to cover all critical orders before then. If you have some urgent request pertaining either to China or the NPCs, now's the time to ask.

 

[Double A]

Who'd ya kill?

 

[NinjaCow64]

The angry mob outside of the grand palace of Formatting were shouting.

"Why did you surrender to Katterland!" they shouted "They organized this war between us and Oz, we know it! And they allied with our worst enemies, the Londonites!"

Ah, but this was only a tempoary measure. said NinjaCow64 in conchord with the main members of the Formatting Crew. Because today I knew that the stars would align and the blessed Garden of Formatting would open for the faithful. We must leave this planet, this world is only going to get worse for the children of the Formatting Crew. So we must leave this world." Suddenly, a massive flash that kinda looked like this happened in the night sky:

Then everyone in the crowd went "Ooh!" Every man, woman and child who had faith in the Formatting crew, from the high priests in Canberra to the victimised in London, their bodies turned into raw energy. The energy floated up into the sky and joined everyone in the vault. Everyone, even the dead, they joined in a beautiful symphony. Last of all, NinjaCow64 himself and the rest of the Formatting Crew joined them. He looked down upon the Earth, feeling sorry for the people who are going to be left behind. But he can't do anything. He isn't ominpotent, he just tries his best.

OCC: Quitting the game, please turn Formatistan into an NPC and give it another name. Thanks.
