Realpolitik CIV - An Interactive AAR

[Whosit]

And so we shall witness the most annoyingly pointless return to the status quo....

I can't remember if it was mentioned in the thread, but Ilduce's allies have destroyed the Barracks in Birmingham. We will have to rebuild it post haste. And then capture and execute everyone who participated in the sabotage, and then kill all of their families, and maybe kill their families, too, just to be safe.

Ilduce edit your damn post. LH said via PM for a reason. Greaves it to surprise people. Jesus mother...on second thought I won't finish that.

And so we shall witness the most annoyingly pointless return to the status quo....

Um...how?

 

[Whosit]

Um...how?

If Ilduce is killed, he takes up the role of this brother of his, who will surely do exactly what Ilduce is doing now.

If you die, you apparently have a son to take over, and will most likely act identically to how you act now.

Narrative-wise, it could be interesting, but functionally, nothing will change. Except for maybe bragging rights.

We will now begin to reveal our plan, piece by piece. Also, we will begin to show some signs of sanity.

First: Ilduce and I support ML. Very OOC: We feel that our actions have gone overboard for those who enjoy RP (not that we don't enjoy it, of course, you know what I mean). Even though we are having too much fun to stop, we don't want RP to become unfun for those who enjoy it. Whosit, I will reply to your PM soon. Right now, my internet is having issues.

Second: My negotiations with Peter have been successful. Whether we're allying with him, against him, or something else altogether, we will not say.

So you're saying that you, personally, destroyed the barracks? Interesting. That means you were in Birmingham recently? But you also said you were negotiating with Peter... hmm... in New Horizons, I suppose. In any case... death, still, for those who destroyed the Barracks. Of course, if it was you, I'd have to get your consent for you to be killed. Oh well.

 

[MathNerd]

No, I didn't intend to say that. I meant to say that I don't see how you could kill us if we were "immortals".

 

[arya126]

It adds to the narrative. And it will probably decide who gets Catherine as well.

 

[arya126]

No, I didn't intend to say that. I meant to say that I don't see how you could kill us if we were "immortals".

I'm sure LH has a way up his sleeve seeing that Catherine, an immortal, was to be killed.

 

[MathNerd]

How would killing us work? I mean, LH can't ban us from posting.

 

[arya126]

He JUST EXPLAINED IT! Go read his last couple posts!

 

[MathNerd]

Of course, if it was you, I'd have to get your consent for you to be killed.

Missed that line. Also, I know there was a post about it before by Whosit, but even if we did that, then there's no point in killing us.

 

[arya126]

It would be for story purposes.

 

[MathNerd]

Well, that would work.

First: Ilduce and I support ML.

Don't care. You tried to push your opinions on others without caring about their desires so why should we care about your?

Second: My negotiations with Peter have been successful. Whether we're allying with him, against him, or something else altogether, we will not say.

YES! Totally called it! LH are you sure i don't get counter-espionage for all this? Allready called ilduce going to the ukraine, allowing himself to be captured, mathnerd staging the rescue and their negotiations being with Peter.

If not... oh well. At least it means we picked the correct counter options.

And Sanity? Oh please for all we know this is just to lure everyone into a false sense of security. England is too big and the world to small to let this kind of rubbish happen anymore. Not to mention if you support ML then well... you kind of failed. So logically you have just admitted you will continue to break stuff untill you get your way.

-

I am a bit noneplussed by the sudden introduction of language issues. It was never an issue before... so are things being retconned so that translators were allways present in those events or something?

 

[MathNerd]

Yes. We will continue to break stuff until we get our way. What our way is? I have no idea.

Second, in a sense, we HAVE failed. I mean, we don't want to make RP unfun. However, I don't want to make it unfun for me either. Therefore, a reasonable compromise would be ML. I'm serious.

You can't really do counterespionage after the fact. But you could ask LH about doing it before the fact. Also: One of your "called its" is actually incorrect. Try to figure out which one.

 

[Aysee]

Also you finally realize the plan!!!. We have the ship surrounded and as LH pointed out, Immortals can't drown, so sinking the ship might not be a bad idea, assuming the HDO don't kill us we could get out alive with everyone but the Immortals drowning.

Ah. But you realize haven't realized the point. If you fall overboard, you will just accomplish our goal for us. As you are immortal you shall not die. That is correct. But, since you are chained up, you shall sink. And if you sink, you shall stay at the bottom of the ocean (this is the pre-industrial age, we haven't got submarines yet); at the bottom of the ocean you can't do anything. So we in essence get rid of you.

 

[ilduce349]

I refrain from speaking until MN responds to my new pm's. But I have alot to say

 

[MathNerd]

Aysee - what's your view on ML? Should we use it to try to control me? (That sounds weird. It's one of those phrases that you don't get to use every day.)
