Multipolarity III - Game Thread

[Tani Coyote]

OOC: I assume you automated for him? If we can re-submit orders after lock, there are some things regarding the 2nd 3rd Reich I would like to do... :\

IOT X is of infinitely less complexity than MP3. They are not comparable. It does not take a lot of planning to do IOT X orders; you either claim and/or draw up war plans.

The lock's purpose is to allow me to get to work on orders, first and foremost. Since no confidential information has been released, it does not hurt to let someone who hasn't submitted orders do so.

Anyway this isn't the place for this.

Oh goodie. Could I possibly do it this afternoon (my time)?

Sure. Update usually takes 3 days anyway.

The Papacy is technically a monarchical institution...

 

[Dem Taqat]

Gilmore Flanagon accepts. He wishes your Princess Elizabeth to marry the second to the Imperial throne, Denel. Do you accept?

We are always welcome to such an idea, and are sure the two children will enjoy meeting each other during the upcoming visit.

Hawai'i says Ae. Do what feels right, man!

We are pleased that Hawai'i is willing to extend their hospitality. We are sure much closer relations are soon to come.

Foreign Minister Blunder McGaffe

Oh dear God...

What, were you expecting something else?

The Papacy is technically a monarchical institution...

Unless the Papacy has estalished a royal family recently, it doesn't meet the criteria for the visit we are afraid.

In other news, the Royal Family can finally be unveiled:

-King Edward X (48)
-Queen Alexandria (45)
-Crown Princess Fiona (21)
-Prince Gerani (19)
-Princess Mary (17)
-Prince Edward (16)
-Princess Elizabeth (12)

OOC note: How did we manage to make it to today with nobody adding either Scoteireland or GUNS to the wiki? This has been rectified.

ONE TIME ONLY DEAL!

Great bargain!

For this turn only, you may choose to change your starting resource production.

By default it's 3 energy and 7 raw materials to allow optimal management of your state, but you may change this allotment.

You may also scrap starting fleets for resources and money, but keep in mind this will leave you open to piracy.

 

[Patriotic_Fool]

Since no confidential information has been released..

OOC: Well, the chat has overflowed in my *cough* client purchases, as well as *cough* and a war going on in asia or something, so I'm sure the resourceful person could submit or change orders to take care of this new info.

I'm just not a fan of exceptions when it comes to this kind of system, because then one person gets to submit post-lock, then another might demand the same courtesy in the future, etc, etc, and it ends in a bake-off between Bear Grylls and John Travolta. Not pretty.

 

[Tani Coyote]

The "cough" is unnecessary and makes one come off as abrasive.

This is the first turn so I was willing to make some exceptions, that's all there is to it.

We are beyond the reasonable timeframe however, and thus, orders locked.

[Patriotic_Fool]

OOC: Relax tani, I'm not being abrasive or rude. Just saying that some info was released a few days ago "post lock" that might have affected the game outcome..

Anyway, I guess orders are really locked so we can just drop this.

 

[Tani Coyote]

I can detect bias towards such data pretty well, don't worry.

Indeed, it's not relevant anymore.

Anyway, what can I put here?

Ah yes.

-Dispute over Congo's allegiance between Tropico and Romnesia. President de Mar decides Tropico better embodies the values of the Congo and refunds Romney his money. Never mind so long as Lenin's illegitimate Congo is in the Romnesian sphere, it would just be incompatible with Congolese interests.

-Malaysia launches surprise assault on Singapore. Hilarity Ensues. To be detailed in next post.

-Namibia blockades New Zealand; UKNZ will have to decide how to break the blockade next turn.

 

[christos200]

UKNZ will have to accept Namibian rule in East Australia. Otherwise we shall not end the blockade.

 

[Ailedhoo]

The Manx Imperium offers its fleet to liberate the New Zealand seas from the blockade. We may even blocakde the Namibian sea if need be.

 

[Tani Coyote]

Australia:

Shakala! Dr. Cortex has had a second coming!

In support of its allies, Australia announces that it will follow the UKNZ should it decide to go to war with Namibia.

In the meantime, trade is cut between Namibia and Australia.

 

[Patriotic_Fool]

The Republic of Romney backs the blockaded state. We refuse to see trade cut off to anyone, and Nambia better release the blockade..

--or else!

We also call upon our allies. Should the warmonger not see common sense, military action may be necessary. We urge all of our allies to consider the same.

 

[Dem Taqat]

UKNZ will have to accept Namibian rule in East Australia. Otherwise we shall not end the blockade.

Thats quite interesting, given that just a few days ago you told me in PM that:

We decided to not expand in Australia, because we do not want a war right now.

The Manx Imperium offers its fleet to liberate the New Zealand seas from the blockade. We may even blocakde the Namibian sea if need be.

King Edward sends his thanks to the Manx Imperium, and although we hope to settle this without violence, we expect we shall have to take you up on that offer.

Australia:
In support of its allies, Australia announces that it will follow the UKNZ should it decide to go to war with Namibia.

In the meantime, trade is cut between Namibia and Australia.

The UKNZ expresses our gratitude that our allies are willing to stand with us. While we hope to avoid war, we shall greatly appreciate the aid if we are made to clear the seas by force.

[Patchy]

Tropico would like to announce that should all else fail New Zealand can take it to the UN and we can begin to work out whether Nambia would like to keep blockading and get completely embargoed or if they would like to see reason and stop.

Why client Congo? It's not even close to you..

 

[Patchy]

Why client Congo? It's not even close to you..

Because they had a good cost to value ratio and since I have one of the highest if not the highest influence at the start of the game (General Secretary Whoo!) I didn't have to worry about losing it in a competition. Think of like why did the Dutch have Indonesia even though they were far away, it was profitable.

If what you are afraid of is them expanding to close to you I can suggest that they expand in other directions.

King Edward looked out over the square in front of the Parliment building in Wellington. He was here to deliver grim, yet neccesary, tidings to the nation, to rally their spirits for the potentially terrible hardships ahead. It was no time for doubt, or hesitation, but time instead to show the world that even in the face of the blockade; New Zealand had no plans to back down. He took a step forward, and began to speak.

"People of New Zealand. It is with a heavy heart I come before you today, with an announcement of news I am sure many of you have heard already. The nation of Namibia, a land ruled by the iron fist of a totalitarian government, has, without even formal declaration, begun a blockade of our fair islands. For our simple request that they acknowledge our own national interests, they have begun a systematic plan to starve and subjugate our people to their will!

There is, however, much to take hope from. Already, the response of the world is trickling in; offering aid and support in this time of crisis. Our allies in Australia and Manx have already declared that they will send military aid, if such is required, and my gratitude goes out to them both for it. The world, my freinds, stands with us today!

And we will not dissapoint them. There will be no surrendur to such militant tyranny, no bowing before the callous demands of such aggressors! We will not be cowed by their bluster, their shows of force, or their vain attempts to bend us to their will. We will meet them head on, with fire and steel if that is what it takes.

If the worst comes to the worst, and fighting breaks out, we will face it with resolution. Even should the seas be ripped asunder by the chaos of war, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in Australia, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our islands, whatever the cost may be. And I know we shall, in the end, be victorious."

Readying the Ships

 

[Lighthearter]

The United Kingdom of Hawai'i declares out support for New Zealand. Should this turn to violence and the UKNZ calls for aid, Hawai'i will answer.

[Dem Taqat]

"This is Intrepido McSeeker, reporting from outside Parliment in Wellington. Following the Kings speech earlier today, political parties in both houses have been racing to support an unyeilding response to Namibian demands. Foriegn Minister McGaffe made a speech not long ago talking about the 'united response of the world' after the arrival of the Hawai'ian declaration of support, and that went down fairly well with most MPs.

The Admiralty has stated that the navy will be moved to a wartime footing in preparation to force it's way through the blockade, and that planning for such an operation is already underway. Given the current mood in Parliment and the palace, it seems likely that the carrying out of such a plan will be approved without hesitation if talks fail to come to a quick conclusion."

"Would you say then McSeeker, that war over this issue is likely, or can it be resolved without bloodshed?"

"Well, it will all depend very much on the response of the Namibian Government. At the current time, the general opinion seems to be that they will back down given the overwhelming international pressure that we can already see building up, but if they don't then we may well see a war of some scale breaking out, although at the current time it's impossible to say what sort of scale we would be looking at."

"Thank you, that's Intrepido McSeeker, reporting from Wellington. Next up, we'll be looking at the war in Singapore, join us for that after the weather."

I'll stimulate usage of the UN by saying the following: You -can- propose resolutions and vote on them still (think of them as being in a committee IC-wise), but until all three Secretaries approve, they will not move forward.
