Sursum Corda - An Imperium OffTopicum Game

Heya all, its the Advent season and one of my busiest times of the year hence why I have been so busy and no answered all the questions I've been asked yet.

Due to this business I'm extending the orders lock until Friday and hopefully I won't have to extend it again. Though do not count on that. Once Christmas and Epiphany have occurred I should have a lot more spare time and will be back on track to weekly updates.
 
Fréomæg Bashkaum (the Free Alliance) and the Latin American Mutual Defensive Pact have both agreed to a trade and non-aggression agreement between them.

May this move of Atlantic co-operation encourage peace and prosperity.

We are going to invest 12 of your banked dp into economy. 16 in military.

An Announcement from Her Most Imperial and Holy Majesty, Tsarina Yekaterina IV
Behind me stands a mural of Russian saints. Men who devoted their lives into the service of God. Such men are to be commended, for it was they who helped bring Russia glory, honor, and most importantly, God's love. And today, we must look to add to their ranks, of those who fought to spread the word of God.

I wish for the entire world to feel God's love. It is the right of every man, woman, and child. But, there is much work to do. This world has tested us, and we must show that we are up to this test. Right now, a clan of abominations infests the once proud lands of the United Kingdom.

We cannot reconcile this reality with our vision of this world. So, we must fight a holy war, Священная война, so that we can destroy these creatures who pollute our fair earth.

We declare war on the Arganov Clans that fester in Britain. There can be no negotiation. No reconcilation. Only the righteousness of Russia can purify this land.

So to each and every man, woman, and child in Russia, I say steel yourself! We must be prepared for war! To the Carlists and the Romans you may feel free to declare war, though I caution you against coming to the aid of orcs who would sooner eat your children than protect them. But it is of little consequence if you decide to join them; there is no stopping our glorious march.

We call upon right thinking Christian nations to join us in this holy war to destroy the infestation of the British isles, and restore peace, order, and Christianity.

Бог хочет. God wills it.
 
The third favourite past-time of Europeans, after senseless bloodshed & grand coalitions, would be declaring holy wars on people they hate.

We declare that the Republic of the Canarias & Madeira is a safe refugee for any European fleeing the horrors of war that shall soon unfold.

The salvation of Christendom is not the only thing at stake in the growing flames of the European continent, but also the salvation of all the people of the world, and indeed, humanity itself. The interbreeding, the infidelity, the treachery to God and to country that the human enablers of the orcish disease have engaged is in many ways as deplorable as the orcish race itself. Communists and paganists, and inhuman traitors to the British Isles, must be destroyed with the same inflamed vigor with which orcish populations should be disposed of. A holy war is the only option for the cleansing of these most sinful and decadent, and in preparation for Rapture, for the salvation of the human race and every single human's soul.

The German Christian Coalition joins the Russian Empire in declaration of war against the Roman Republic, as well as a declaration of intent to exterminate the orcish populations from the British Isles-- though a declaration of war is not appropriate, as one would no more declare war on the fish of the sea than any other inhuman race on earth.

Insofar as the Carlists claim themselves to be the rightful monarchy of Spain, ordained by God, war is not necessary, but if alliance with Communists in their own nation continues it will become inevitable. At the moment, however, peace can continue if the crown wishes it to.

In darkness, I shall be light.

In times of doubt, I shall keep faith.

In throes of rage, I shall hone my craft.

In vengeance, I shall have no mercy.

In the midst of battle, I shall have no fear.

In the face of death, I shall have no remorse.

La Saint-République Orléanaise declares holy war on the United Agontrov Clans.
 
The invasion of France has begun

Romans! Men across the world! Hear us out!

The Christians have finally decided to begin their "holy" war against the mutants living in Britain, who have been nothing but honest in their deals and as capable as normal humans are. This war can only lead to the destruction of such noble beings, all in the name of a twisted version of Christianity. Men like Pope John Paul II and Pope Francis must be twisting in their graves as their faith is being used as a means to justify this terrible crime against the living.

To protect the free peoples of the world, the Roman Republic has no choice but to declare war on the Russian Empire, the German Christian Coallition and the "Holy" Republic of Orleans.

The senate has approved of Dulius Pompeius, one of our consuls, to launch an invasion on French territory, to free these people from their Orleanist yoke and grant them the freedom they deserve.


In addition, all extremist content will be banned from the territory of the Roman Republic.

Can we have a lock extension? I am sorry but have been busy today and would need some time to do some war orders.

48 hour extension?

Edit: I should also mention I had today been out (including to a Christmas meal) and tomorrow will be a bit busy, so again I will need time to make sure this late declaration of war is not hindrance to players (like myself) who may have time issues at times.

Following intense debate, the National Assembly of the Republic of the Canarias & Madeiras has decided to declare war upon France and her allies. Their long-standing antagonistic behaviour towards the peoples of Europe have been a danger to the peace, as one can see.

Our navy shall first begin shelling and blockading the coasts of France, and aid the Italians in their invasion of France.
 
As a emergency procedure we are going to issue a emergency conscription campaign.

This is not our desire but in the face of a genocidal invasion we have no choice.
 
Temasek joins the world stage. Unwillingly.

Temasek has long since been isolationist, not by choice anyways. Although trade between the communes, colonies and the indigenous people that dot former Southeast Asia is growing every year, diplomacy with an equal power was unheard of.

Turn 3 map.png


As Temasek colonisers spread deeper into what was once Penang, Sumatra and Brunei, there was nothing but small, tightly knit communities, rarely hitting the hundreds in population, or ruins of vast cities. But this week, news from an explorer's group sent shockwaves throughout the nation.

Turn 3 Art.png


On the beaches of former Phuket, an explorer's group recounted meeting a group of sentient beasts. They would have been dismissed as yet another tall tale...except they managed to bring the 'Orcs' along with them. Introducing themselves as hailing from the United Agontrov Clans from far-off lands that the local colonial administration admitted that they failed to catch due to their thick accents. Towering above the regular Human but capable of speaking in our language, diplomacy was hastily set up by the central council in Temasek Isle as news spread throughout the realm.

Turn 3 Art part 2.jpg


While Scholars have begun sharing knowledge, the more military-minded have been clamoring to either throw them back to the sea or to quickly cement an alliance in case a more barbaric group of beasts rear their hypothetical heads. The alliance faction won out after heated (and violent) debate in the central council and a hastily assembled Defensive Pact with the UAC was announced.

They tell us that the far off land of 'Europe' is embroiled in a war, and as new members of their wider alliance they hoped Temasek would support their conflict. Without thinking much, Temasek accepts it's involvement in the conflict. But considering they don't know what a """Europe""" even is they have no clue what they have just thrown themselves into.

In average news, The Temasek council has placed 8 dp into the Military and 9 into economic development. The news of the Orcs has overshadowed such news in the minds of the average citizen though.
 
I don't really want to play in a game where people whine and moan endlessly about things not going their way and accuse people attacking them of having no lives. Is this Sandcastle Simulator or a territory expansion war and conquest game? I role play a negative press release of a foreign government and get screeched at about power gaming. I declare war and someone claims I'm breaking the rules and whine about it constantly, for 24 hours straight complaining back to back about how they have no time to send orders. Oh. My god. Non contributors don't even roleplay except to snark idiotic cynical remarks they then retread and undermine later, or do nothing but later screech about how their super leet communist heaven country is totally utopia and having any one criticize it is power gaming.

Everyone I'm at war with: I am going to kick the hell out of your sandcastle. It was business before but now it's personal. Except icarus who is a contributor, I like your posts man, they're cool. The rest of you: you're gonna need dentures when I'm done.

This post is role-playing on the same grounds that tolni's posts can be called role-playing so in character, it's not even about the heresy anymore. It is the principle.
 
Ok what the hell, for the past two or so weeks I've been so busy with school and work and you know what, of course i'm not going to contribute because of that, i keep getting nagged at by ailed to do things, and I never wanted a war in the first place.

What doesn't help is that the forum won't actually tell me when a new post has been made in the games i'm in. I'm just so pissed off, like what the actual hell crezth and ailed? I can't have a life outside of IOT, I can't focus on school or actually making money? I have too many stressers on me because finals just ended and work is getting 1000X worse, I want to be a part of this to have fun, not yelled at and criticized because I can't devote my entire life to a game.

I'm so mad I really want to drop this game - and the only reason I'm not is because I don't want to upset RC or lose everything if I do calm down and want to come bak, like holy crap you two, I'm sorry I have work and school that I need to take care of too.

in the mean time here is my expansion and put 26 DP (including my 8 banked) into military units

OOC: I apologised for stuff on the 12th and I understand your IRL considerations but I will need to issue concerns hence. I know the alert mechanic on CFC is not efficient, nor did a war before lock was... the best of considerations. However to myself be marked in the same brush.

However I would note that leaving a DP like this would be in its way jerkish to the other players of the pact; if you have time problems you could hand war orders for Spain to one of the members of your alliance so we cold organise.

I have tried to get extra hours because I knew of your IRL considerations hence.

I myself and others of the DP I set did not want war; please don't leave the DP.

Edit: I should also highlight that the Conclave declare war on all of us; alas...

Edit 2: can we have a additional extension due to help calm the drama before we settle the directives hence?
