Multipolarity III - Game Thread

[GhostWriter16]

Solitude is still waiting a statement from Canada about this proposal.


So long as Canada keeps their expansion on their end and leaves Solitude be. We've already have one other foreign power setting up a colony south of us in Eastern Virginia. I'd hope to seek other foreign powers keep their colonizations to a minimum in North America and take into consideration of other powers that are expanding.

We accept the trade offer. Sorry, I just realized this.

We definitely will not expand anywhere near New England. We MAY expand in the Midwestern USA if there's room after we end up consolidating our Canadian claims, but we are open to negotiation about any territory in America, and will not expand there without at least token consent with the nations already there.

We mainly care about Canada proper, MAYBE Alaska as well, and Greenland. Then probably African colonies

The SCP questions the wisdom of this demand. You are near equal in strength, and are both major powers. Solitude has a stronger, if only by a margin, economy due to trade. casacadia is as well. So this means you have no big stick Casacadia is a state under a Enlightened Dictatorship, so I doubt their Dictator will just relinquish sovergionity without a fight. A bloody fight. also. Solitude also doesn't own any part of Canada. And Namibia is expanding into Virginia...and they already have proven that they are willing to try and bully other major powers around to get what they want. You have to be prepared for this fact.

OOC:Also...I have this sinking feeling that something is going to happen involving Hawai'i and Namibia...and it isn't going to be kawaii in its nature...have the wounds between Lighthearter and Christos healed? I hope so. Multipolarity 1 and all related events aside...

We were more intending to buy the territories off of whoever owns them rather than violence.

 

[GhostWriter16]

@Cascadia- We would like to buy your Canadian territories and would like to discuss a price. Our current policy is to pursue diplomatic solutions and not to pursue any imperial policies against the territories Cascadia already holds, however, if they should expand any further in Canada, we will be forced to use military action.

Our opening offer is one full turn of income for the territories in Canada.

OOC: OOC means OOC. Don't reply with an IC message, please.

IC: As you wish. The Third Polish Union has no choice but to intervene in this conflict.

 

[Tani Coyote]

GM Remarks:

To clarify, Canada is offering 30 gold for 7 territories. Most Cascadian people and industry will move south if the transfer occurs.

The wealth would be enough to build a new factory, and assuming a steady flow of new resources, the extra 50 GDP per turn would offset the loss over time.

OOC: OOC means OOC. Don't reply with an IC message, please.

You addressed yourself as "The President of Poland," which to me is IC enough...

Thanks for the info

We regret that we can't flat-out offer territory somewhere else, like in the US, for the Canadian territory, but we literally can't.

We would also like to point out that we will not buy off any future territory that Cascadia, or anyone else, dares to claim in the Canadian homeland. We have clearly stated that any such additional claims will be an act of war, and both the majority government (Aside from the Libertarians) and the Social Democrats agree on this stance.

We did, in fact, and can prove, that we already claimed the Canadian territory Cascadia is holding right now as part of our SOI. Its rightfully our land. But we'd rather spend some money on it now than to spend money and blood on taking it in war, so we'd rather not consider that option if we don't need to.

Note that the 30 gold would be paid NEXT TURN. This turn we already spammed armies and attacked all the unclaimed Canadian territory.

OOC: Ghost, just attack the territories.

Problem solved.

Spammer's Advisorary Meeting of 2501:

Kenji Bovine: Right, so, now that the janators have finally cleaned up after the [REDACTED] incident, we're going to have our annual meeting of important stuff. Yoshi, are you taking minutes.

Yoshi Bovine: Yes sir I am.

Kenji Bovine: Excellent. So, first item on the agenda, SingleA, how is our economy progressing?

SingleA: Excellently. Now that I have the appropriate funds, I am happy to annouce that by this time next year, our spam factories are going to be producing Spam at DOUBLE EFFICENCY!!!

Yoshi Bovine: DOUBLE EFFICENCY!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Mr Perfect: According to my calculations, that is going to make us rediculously rich!

SingleA: There are some downsides however. We are going to have to consume twice the amount of resources to do this. And we had to cut funding from transport.

Norm: YOU CUT FUNDING FOR TRANSPORT!?!?!? YOU WILL REGRET THIS!!!!!!!!!!

*Norm storms out of the room*

Kenji Bovine: SingleA, why must you do that? We have never cut funding from transport, ever.

SingleA: I do it because it is hilarious to watch.

Kenji Bovine: Right. So, Cathisis, how is the foriegn situtation going?

Cathisis: You know, the ususal. Wars, blockades, embargoes, ect. The Rainbow kitten, courteousy of the SCP Foundation is on it's way to Singapore right now.

Mr Perfect (mumbling): And I would have made a much better one if they had let me do it...

Cathisis: GLaDoS hasn't gotten back to us about the Rainbow Kittens either, there's nothing I can do about that. No one has wanted to purchase the Black and White kitten so I'm going to keep it.

SingleA: Surely there is somebody who wants to buy that kit...

Cathisis: I SAID THERE WAS NO ONE SO SHUT IT A!

Kenji Bovine: Right. Now, Questionthepizzadude, how is our espionage going?

Questionthepizzadude: We shouldn't talk about that now, there could be spies listening!

Kenji Bovine: I know that, I was just going to ask how five spies got past our security and...

Questionthepizzadude: Shhhh! They could be listening! We should never talk about my failures otherwise we will lose! Shhhh!

Kenji Bovine: *sigh* Fine. So, Mr Perfect, how is your science going?

Mr Perfect: My GDRs would be so much better if it weren't for that bloody SCP Foundation. Asshats. We should invade Cascadia to teach them a lesson.

MoreAwesomeThanOthers: I second this motion. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!

Cathisis: No! Unprovoked war will damage our reputation!

SingleA: Imagine all the money I could make out of selling SCP objects...ooooooooh!

John Locke: The instability will cause our citizens to get pissed at us!

Questionthepizzadude: It will make excellent training for my Mafioso underlings...

Norm (poking his head through the window): LESS WAR, MORE TRANSPORT!!!

Yoshi Bovine: Dad's going to be pissed...

*chaos erupts around the table, splitting the advisors into a pro war camp and an anti war camp. They argue for the next minute or two, then Kenji Bovine stands up*

Kenji Bovine: Justice No Spamsu! ORDER IN THE COURT!!! *a large mallet slams down onto the table, causing everyone to go silent*

Kenij Bovine: No, we're NOT going to war, so get those thoughts out of your heads! To think if the rest of the world could see what we're doing...

Questionthepizzadude: They probably are, you know.

Kenji Bovine: Anyway, on the subject of war, MATO, what are you doing?

MoreAwesomeThanOthers: Our soldiers are really only just assisting colonists to migrate into new areas. It's a shame really, I'm sure our boys would really love to have a war or two. Some of the newer recruits have never even had a war! But you said no, so they won't.

Kenji Bovine: It's good to know that you still follow my orders, MATO. So, onto our final agenda item for today, John Locke, how is our stability at the moment?

SingleA: Yes sir, how is it going?

John Locke: For the millionth time I am female! Sweet Ceiling Cat! Do you ever listen?

SingleA: Not when I can make a response that easily.

John Locke: Anyway, our citizens love us as usual. Althought there has been some dissent growing amoungst some of the tax paying classes, saying they want lower taxes.

Kenji Bovine: Really? But our taxes are realitively average compared to the rest of the world! Where has this annoyance come from?

John Locke: Well it seems to have come from some anti-Spam propaganda, which seems to be funded by foriegn interests...

Kenji Bovine: That's strange, why can I hear music from Command and Conquer playing? Wait a second...oh no. *door breaks open and a man wearing a police helmet breaks through*

Fish Tiger: I am the Fish Tiger and on behalf of the Brotherhood of Mod, I am going to destroy all the spam in the universe, starting with your nation!

Kenji Bovine: Wait, didn't we make peace with those guys five years ago?

Cathisis: The Brotherhood of Mod is like the IRA, everytime you make peace with one faction two more pop up which are twice as extreme and they both hate you.

Fish Tiger: That's right! Thanks to foriegn intrest, I am going to destabilize your nation by forcing you to cut taxes, causing your economy to collaspse! MUHAHAHAHA!!!

Yoshi Bovine: That has to be the stupidest plan I have ever...

MoreAwesomeThanOthers: I will stop you foul villain! My Summoning Spamsu is the most powerful in the land! HA HA HA!!!

Summoning No Spamsu!!! *a creeper wearing sunglasses pops out of thin air and charges at Fish Tiger*

Fish Tiger: HA HA! You cannot defeat me by simply Spamming Summons! For I am a Moderator! I eat Summons for breakfast! Literally!!!

Banning No Modsu!!! *the creeper disappears in a puff of smoke*

*MATO keeps summoning, Fish Tiger keeps banning. No one interferes because it is actually quite cool to watch*

Yoshi Bovine: It's amazing how Spamsu, the ancient art of fighting that is basically ripped off from Naruto, can be used in such an effect Dad!

Kenji Bovine: Ever get the feeling that your conversation is just an excuse to explain something to some higher being that is vital to some sort of plot?

Yoshi Bovine: All the time.

*MATO is quite exausted now, summoning takes a lot of work. Banning, however, is very easy, so Fish Tiger isn't even breaking a sweat*

MoreAwesomeThanOthers: Summoning...*huff wheese*...No...*huff wheese*...Spamsu... *huff wheese* ...Uberbomb... *huff wheese* *a rather large bomb is summon and it starts to tick*

Fish Tiger: Banning No Modsu!!! *the bomb is unsummoned*

*MATO falls on the floor, completely exausted, unable to move*

Fish Tiger: Is that all you can do? HA HA! This will be easier than I thought!

SingleA: Actually, MATO was just being stupid, Summons are useless against a Moderator. No, I know what your weakness is.

Economic No Spamsu! Death and Taxes!!! *a large booklet filled with overdue gas billls flies out of SingleA's hand, slamming Fish Tiger against the wall*

Fish Tiger: Curses! I will get you one day you Crusaders!!! *Fish Tiger disappears into the Mod World, a hidden dimension only accessable to users of Modsu*

Cathisis: The really concerning thing about that meeting is that somehow Fish Tiger is getting foriegn assistance. That means we have an enemy that we don't even know who they are.

Kenji Bovine: Questionthepizzadude, it is up to you to thwart the enemy's plans of lowering taxes. Are you a big enough dude to rescue Spamalta?

Questionthepizzadude: Of course I am, I'm question the Questionthepizzadude!

Kenji Bovine: Oh, don't worry, I trust you. I just had to question you, because you are Questionthepizzadude. *everyone laughs at that terrible joke*

Kenji Bovine: Now for the fun part of the meeting: Spam for Everyone!!!

Everyone: Yay!!!

*Everyone gets a plate of Spam, because all the ministers like Spam, of all kinds! Thus endeth the meeting*

(All resemblence to Moderators living or dead is purely coincidental...um...wait, that isn't right...err...please don't infract me? )

 

[GhostWriter16]

OOC: Ghost, just attack the territories.

Problem solved.

There hasn't been a congressional vote yet as to whether to give David Baker the power to declare war, but most of the parties support an attempt at peaceful reunification first.

Here is the current party stance:

Conservatives: First to attempt buy-back, then to attempt to gain local support, war is on the table as a last resort.

Libertarians: No attempt to buy-back on taxpayer's dime, no wars on taxpayer's dime. Willingness to accept the territories if they defect, but unification unimportant.

Christian Democrats: Attempt to buy-back, attempt to gain local support, sanctions, war perhaps a possibility as a last resort.

Social Democrats: Attempt to buy back, then attempt sanctions. Roughly 40% of the party would consider war in a last resort, including VP Joseph Strider.

CNP: Immediate war, possible invasion of Cascadia proper since they have mixed their blood with Canadian blood.

Populists: "Let the people decide", advocates for Cascadia to hold a referrendum in the Canadian territories and for both parties to accept the results.

Quebec Secessionists: Don't care about unifying Canada, since they want out.

Anarchists: Oppose all government, and so oppose any attempt to expand ours.

Reds: Attempt to buy back, war as last resort only.




Other than the CNP, everyone else wants to try negotiations first. Its really just a matter of whether war is the next step or not. Conservatives, Reds, and Christian Democrats would likely say "Yes", the populists and Social Democrats would say "Maybe" and the Libertarians and Anarchists would say "No."

War may be an inevitable if Cascadia does not consider peace, but we'd rather not consider that yet.

President David Baker is currently against a violent solution.

Keep in mind that trade will be best set for Newfoundland, which is part of the sovereign Imperium of Man. Hence while we here we suggest you respect the territory of that which is stronger then you. Respect Newfoundland as part of Mann and you may find your riches greater than can be observed.

The Imperium of Man will not permit Pagan ritituals in their empire! Christmas in the Imperium is set to Church instead of Pagan ritituals. True we allow commerical excess but that is only because it aids buisness and shows the wealth of the Imperium.

Anyrate any attempt to spread Paganism to the Imperium will result in one's Christmas present being countless years in a labour camp.

We will not bow to the low wills of the infidelic Marxists. We follow the true path. Your will is to damnation, as well as permitting your land to be claimed in a crusade in the future should the Pope feel that your infidelic ways endanger Christandom. For now we are willing to turn the other cheek but bid this well: cross our paths in ill plot and your nation will begin its funeral song.
