SKNES III: Bullets with Butterfly Wings

OOC: Well, if it'd be acceptable for me to switch to Brazil, I will; I just didn't want to be jumping nations constantly. However, if I do swap to Brazil, I may have to wait until after next update to actually take charge of it because of time constraints.
 
Auraucania confirms that an agreement has been reached with the La Platan government which will resolve the current conflict peacefully and satisfactorily.

Sorry to see you go Amesjay.

cpm, sure. if you can't send orders as Brazil I can just bank all your income for this term.

In the absence of any possible other course of action, and the failure of European powers to come to Turkey's aid, Sultan Ismet has no option but to accept the treaty forced upon his nation by the aggressors.

Ismet has also abdicated the throne of Turkey and will go into exile in Great Britain.

From Russia
To Mr. Ismet, former Sultan of Turkey,
CCed: United Danube Kingdom, Persia, Whaheydi Caliphate,

Russia appreciates Mr. Ismet's wise decision to recognize the terms of peace signed by the new Turkish Sultan, Tarik Ciller (OOC: he didn’t have a name in the update so I just gave him one), thereby saving lives of Turkish Muslims, lives of Christian Anatolians, the lives of Muslim Arabs throughout its former territories.

Hereafter Russia shall be withdrawing from former Turkish territories west of the Bosphorus strait and passing governance of these territories, in its entirety, to our brave friends in the UDK.

Russia also recognizes the formerly Turkish lands currently occupied by Persia as their sovereign territories to govern as they see fit.

Russia recognizes the territories currently under Whaheydi Caliphate occupation as the sovereign territory of the Whaheydi Caliphate to govern as they see fit.

Penultimately formerly Turkish territories under Russian occupation shall be governed henceforth in conjunction between the local Anatolian population and a specially developed Russia administration, with the dedicated mission of bringing peace, prosperity, and opportunity to the region. Turkish government officials and soldiers will have free opportunity to pass, unarmed, to the Turkish state. Armed turkish soldiers or officials within these territories will be considered in violation of the treaty signed by the wise Mr. Ismet and detained. During this period of transition and restructuring Russia will not be allowing foreign government officials or traders access to these territories. Such embassaries are more than welcome to meet with their Russian counterparts in St. Petersburg.

Finally the Bosphorus strait will be temporarily closed to both military and civilian naval traffic not belonging to the UDK or Russia while the UDK and Russia develop the proper security and tolling infrastructure to coordinate trade and travel through this channel. In the meantime both the UDK and Russia invite Mediterranean trade to dock at our ports on the Anatolian sea.


Sergei Obruchev,
foreign minister to Her Imperial Majesty, Tsarina Alexandra, of Russia


To Sultan Tarik Ciller,
From Russia

Russia is pleased to see the rise of a stronger, more decisive and pragmatic Sultan take the government reins. May the Sultan Tarik Ciller’s rule be one of peace and prosperity.

Russia will assist the Turkish state in adapting to the new geopolitical solution and is dedicated to assisting our new friends in the highest echelons of Turkish government.

Specifically, during the time of transition, we will not turn away from the chaos and confusion, and are dedicated to assisting the new Sultan in maintaining law and order in Turkey.

Secondly, we wish to see the new Turkish state join the ranks of the Whaheydi Caliphate, Persia, and Delhi as middle-eastern trading partners and friends of Russia, and thereby open its markets and industries to private Russian investment. We hope that by doing so Turkey will join the ranks of the listed middle-eastern Russian friends in experiencing exponential industrial, agricultural, and economic growth and prosperity all while retaining the distinct culture and religion of its people.


Sergei Obruchev,
foreign minister to Her Imperial Majesty, Tsarina Alexandra, of Russia
 
I guess this is the 48 hour warning

To: Russia
From: Tarik Ciller, Sultan of Turkey

Turkey welcomes Russian assistance in this time of instability, and accepts the Russian offers of security. Turkey will also welcome Russian investment and economic involvement, as we have seen the benefits this has brought to our eastern neighbors.
 
Unfortunately because of "real life" and "high school" my orders will probably be slightly late, but there's no shame in that. Just kidding, I'll go start ritual seppuku over in the corner
 
orders sent for me as well.
 
Orders Friday evening I swear I'm good for it boss

EDIT: orders in progress anti-binary gender repression scout's honor
 
Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to continue this NES.

I barely received half of everyone's orders last turn. This in itself is not enough to prevent the update, although it is certainly enough to cut it down significantly in length. But I found that I completely lacked the motivation to do any work on the update even when I sat down to actually do work. I just wasn't enjoying modding this, and I wasn't getting the vibe that the players were enjoying this either. Truth be told, the mess that launching the NES was almost made me want to kill the NES on turn 1 itself, and my interest never really recovered from there.

I know I promised a few people this NES would last at least 10 turns. Unfortunately, and it is with great sadness that I say this, that won't be happening.

Sorry :(
 
Aw, it's a shame to see this go before I could do much of anything. Still, if you aren't having fun with it, that's fine.
 
This was a really good NES and again; I am impressed by SK's abilities. Sorry to see it go.
 
Well, I thought you did a great job GMing this. I also appreciate you answering my (mostly inane) questions so well; feel like I might actually be able to play other NESes with a degree of knowledge now!
 
No!!! Italy shall never rise and destroy Sardinia!
 
I was honestly pretty peeved when people started dropping this NES after like, two turns. What is that, a month? It's really not that hard to predict if you're going to be busy in a month. Either join a NES and commit to it, or don't join it at all. And for Christ's sake, how long does it take to write up orders? Sans diplomacy for the un-committed player, you could hammer out an order set in half an hour. You really can't take half an hour of your time to write up orders for something you joined? Really.

Ugh. I was really enjoying this NES too. Sorry for the kind-of-rant, I'm just pissed. SK, I was loving this NES, and I'm sad to see it go. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out if you mod another.
