NES2 VI - Last Semblance of Order.

[das]

Hmm, das isn't even online.

You sure? I could swear I saw him somewhere around here...

Btw, forgot to mention - deadline came and passed.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Well, you weren't at that time.

Or were you?

Meh, it's early here. One of my eyes was shut when writing orders and checking if you were online.

 

[Dachs]

Oh yeah, I sent orders before deadline.

Whoop-de-doo. Iggy, I hope to God for your sake that you didn't join in that war.

 

[Symphony D.]

OOC: Not that it really matters all that much, but...

Is there any reason the British rule Easter Island, and have done so since 1740 and before? Just kind of curious...

 

[stalin006]

because when coloring a map, if in doubt, color it britt.

 

[Symphony D.]

OOC: Doesn't really work for this alt-hist...

 

[Symphony D.]

To Every Chinese Soldier and Officer in the Qing Empire:

MAYBE YOU THINK this war has something to do with preserving China, but everyone knows the Manchu usurpers are dragging it out to keep their hold over the country. Maybe you think you're working to save the Middle Kingdom from foreign invaders and protect the empire that goes back over two thousand years. Maybe you think the plotters in Jinan are going to restore order and glory to the country.

THE HARD FACT IS that the illegitimate Emperor is dead, and the survivors of his dynasty are imprisoned. And maybe you've heard some corrupt official wants to declare himself the Son of Heaven and send all of you out to die in his name instead. That's why you're being stuck in trenches and on the fields and hills, fighting Japanese soldiers who have repeatedly treated the Chinese people with dignity and respect: to fuel the ambitions of warlords.

WHERE WILL THAT GET YOU?

The Warlords are marked down for defeat; all your suffering is entirely futile. Your blood is worth days and weeks for whatever corrupt faction holds power right now, but not for your folks back home. Not when you're buried in the mud, stone cold and forgotten.

Our enemies are the WARLORDS and the corrupt bureaucrats behind them - not you. These are your enemies too. So why fight to grant them power?

WE HAVE COMMON ENEMIES

Every Member of the Imperial Japanese Army Hereby Guarantees:

If you lay down your arms, you will not be harmed or humiliated. Your personal belongings will not be touched. You will receive any medical treatment you need. You will be escorted to safety in the rear, and will surely get home.

COME ON OVER, SOLDIER! JUST PUT DOWN YOUR WEAPON AND SAY:

TOUKOU​

(Tow Shong)​

The Imperial Japanese Army

OOC: Guess what war this propaganda is inspired from and you get absolutely nothing!

 

[Swissempire]

From: Portugal
To: Kanem-Bornu

This treaty sadly does not really satisfy us. Portugal often gets requests from so-called "backward nations" to help them with ecnomic support and education. Although we are allways eager to help a nation to enter the world of civilisation and to leave the hell of savageness (which of course does not apply to your nation), we are not willing to do so without recieving some recognation.

In your treaty Portugal shall assist here, and sponsor there and supervise here, and in return we will sign a mutal trade agreement. Well thats fine, but not fine enough.

We should talk about this more in depth.

AIM : mktossi

OOC: can we make this deal include a term to be named clause, like in baseball where they almost have the trade done, but include a player to be named. Because the deal was an integral part of my order

 

[tossi]

OOC: No, i didn't sign this treaty yet. It was too late (2AM) and I just wanted to sleep. I said we will have to talk about this tomorrow or after the update. As the deadline has went by now...

 

[Thlayli]

Some propaganda

Well the Qing Empire doesn't exist anymore, so I'm afraid you'll have to print some new pamphlets.

 

[Symphony D.]

OOC: Oh, it's quite general about who the enemies are. Did you even read it?

 

[Thlayli]

Of course. But Nian Gengyao isn't just "some official," the soldiers will have no idea who you're talking about. If you said, "Your beloved General Nian Gengyao, who has led the mighty nation of Han China to glorious victories in Burma," that would catch their attention.

 

[Kentharu]

orders sent

 

[tossi]

orders sent

You know that the deadline passed some hours ago ?

 

[Wubba360]

OOC: Tossi nice story. I never knew people liked to sit in rocking stairs.That would be a cool invention.

 

[tossi]

Quiet! tenC

 

[Kentharu]

yes i do, but im a procrastonating ****** and time zones suck ass

 

[Disenfrancised]

This was the story I mentioned in my orders das. Didn't have time to post it earlier.

Acapulco Liberty 13th January 1749

Timeline set for the induction of new states!

"We keep our promises" - President Armandez

After a heroic campaign against the vestiges of Spanish imperial authority, the wiser elements of which surrendered in southern New Granada three months ago, the National Congress has engaged in much deliberation, with the aid and advice of many representatives of the regions in question, on how to divide the administrative units for the lands that have joined our democracy, and the manner in which they will joined. Conservative pundits such as the good Doctor Lopez urged slower time scales with the process not being complete for two decades or more, but in the end the liberal coalition headed by the President managed to persuade the congress to engage in a fast and streamlined entry arrangement. It was decided that four new states were to be inducted each year, with the states themselves being defined below…

Yellow States (induction 1749)
East Panama
Atlantico
Gran Guayas
Pastaza
Green States (induction 1750)
Chocó-Cauca
Antioquia
Zulia
Meta
Possible Chilean States (Still under discussion)
Blue States (induction 1751)
Aragua
Apure
Putumayo
Amazonas
Red States (induction (1752)
Anzoátegui
Amacuro
Canaima

 

[North King]

I mentioned that, I think, in the preview thread. The English Easter Island, that is.

 

[alex994]

Bloody Japanese propaganda, they weren't believed in OTL and hopefully they won't be believed either
