The Island Game

[Tee Kay]

Steampunkeria apologises for inadvertently sending pollution to Selachima (or are we? (no really, we're not (or am I!?))) and advises that you set up your own fans to blow the pollution elsewhere. At least we're caring for the environment.

How is burning vast amounts of coal creating so much pollution and causing global warming is caring for the environment

In the mean time we're building a giant fan at Rusgian on the West Coast to blow all the pollution back towards Steampunkeria. It is a small price to pay for clean air.

Oh and we extend our offer of four free Forms to the Steampunkerians as well. Maybe five seeing as they are such a new nation. The offer of free Republican technology ends in exactly 24 hours, real time, from this post. Excellent now I've got three nations willing to discuss international law. Shall we decide it all for the rest of the world Selachima, Steanpunkeria or shall we wait to see if some others turn up as well?

Selachima has already made our positions clear - a United Nations international community to regulate international law and the use of the Banhammer. We'll be sending diplomats to the Republic on our new supersonic plane, but we'll have to wait for the opinions of other nations.

Andaran troops have also taken the Gay Kingdom Council's capital, and are entrenched in it currently.

Goddamn it, don't you people know we exist? We've been fighting against the Council forces and WT too.

To the Constitution Forces: Okay, Fine, we were bored. We apologize for the random missile strikes, and promise to only strike the Council forces. We send you 1000 IFTIX Tanks as a token of apology.

Trichomedia signs the military alliances/emabrgoes against WT and the Council Forces. We use killfirelandiums space lasers to rain death on West Teklneronus, and fire missiles at Council-Held Territory to help weaken their defenses.

We accept your apologies and your Tanks. But we warn against future irresponsible git behaviour.

TSS will remain locked in a state of war!

The council is finished. The Civil War is over. Martin has been apprehended and sent to Andrew.

Martin formally Surrenders to his younger Brother King Andrew.

With the recent crushing win of the Allied armies against Council forces, the Gay Civil War has come to a finishing close, with King Andrew formerly enthroned upon the now unified Capital City. The war, caused by a power struggle between different ideologies and legitimacy, ends with much destruction and damage upon the cities and citizens of the Kingdom. 4 Major Cities have suffered extensive damage (more than 35%) and the city of Gayopolis has been razed to the ground by bitter Council Resistance. The War Department of Incredibly Sexy Hunks have issued the casualty report.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Gay Kingdom Civilians : 2,104 dead, 2,733,052 misplaced/homeless
Council Forces : 8,592 dead 17,384 captured
Constitutional Forces : 2,122 dead 8,342 captured
Allied Forces : 4,387 dead 5,221 captured
Number of condoms used by the Gay Army : 2,245,853 in 8 months
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Kingdom formally thanks and praise the brave actions of the Foreign Allied Armies and have Presented the Highest Gay Honour to each Head of State involved, each 27 Field Marshalls the "Pink Ribbon of War" as well as taken upon the task to pay compensation for each foreign war dead and handicapped as well as a rose to the families of all 4,387 dead. May the Gaylord bless them all.

A Memorial was constructed to remember the brave men of the war, the ceremony is next week and all the heads of states are invited to the Memorial Ceremony along with 6,453 different war heroes, military leaders, family members and officials.



Gaylord Bless them all, touch them like the Gaylord touched his page-boy disciples.

New treaty.
Treaty of Lefty

1. The nation of West Teklneronus does not exist.
2. All damages done to The Republic, the Republic of Selachima, the Republic of Andara, the Republic of Technantis, The Gayest Kingdom, Xox Xooklia, The Scribbling Society, Moneta Island, Killfirewhatever, New Britain, the Republc of Trichomedia and N00bistan by the non-existant nation of West Teklneronus, including missile attacks, invasion, tsunamis, whatever, shall be retconed.
3. The assets of the non-existant nation of West Teklneronus shall be divided among the Allied nations. During the still-not-yet-held party at Caudal Lagoon, they shall be placed in a pile in the middle of the town square and representatives of each nation shall, on the count of three, jump in and try to grab as much as possible in an entertaining free-for-all extravaganza. Each contestant will be given a pillow they can hit each other with. Other kinds weapons and fighting is against the rules. Please loot responsibly, and do not drink and loot. Xox Xooklia has not contributed to the war effort and will be excluded - they can have the leftover food from the party if they really want something to take back home.
4. All nations shall establish an intergovernmental body - a United Nations, if you will - which will meet periodically on international territory, to discuss international cooperation.
5. The UN shall periodically elect a God-Emperor Secretary-General. This will be done by a simple show of hands.
6. The use of the Banhammer must be regulated by this United Nations. The decision to hammerban must be put to a vote and must be unanimous to pass (that is, save for the nation being hammerban). The secretary-general of the UN can veto the decision - even if the SC is the leader of the nation getting hammerban.
7. Weapons which can cause large-scale natural disasters (namely earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, asteroid strikes) or request the help of a deity for the cause of conquest are hereby considered WMDs.

If any allied member wishes to add any other article then this post will be amended.

The newly reunified Gay Kingdom shall extend diplomacy to the new nation of Steampunkeria. Here, have a condom. On us.

Are you saying we're technologically backwards and we need tech aid?
Just because you have transistors and this "atomic energy" does not mean we're behind in the times. Nay, I'd say we're pretty much more advanced and will survive longer than you. After all, you're relying on burning the dirty oil for everything.
How wasteful is that?

We're sending the pollution elsewhere. The ocean is perfect, since nothing useful lives there, while our factories and forests can still live... so we're protecting OUR environment. And not only that, we're suggesting ways of protecting yours as well.

In the mean time we're building a giant fan at Rusgian on the West Coast to blow all the pollution back towards Steampunkeria. It is a small price to pay for clean air.

Then our fans will blow it back over the ocean, so then we have a huge cloud of pollution between our two lands. The perfect boundary don't you think? Nothing can pass through without dying or being covered in soot. Win/win.

You are in no position to criticize other nations for wasteful and pollution energy sources. Renewable energy supplies almost all of Selachima's energy needs, while fossil fuels in transport is being phased out and replaced with biofuels, fuel cells, synthetic fuels, atomic engines, and others.

The ocean, sir, is as valuable as our rainforests. We rely on the oceans and the things that live in it for food, for maintaining a balanced climate, for recreation, for income. You say nothing useful lives in the oceans? Obviously you have not try the Selachiman Grilled Fish in Finlandish sauce. Being tasty gourmet food is quite useful in our books.

Then our fans will blow it back over the ocean, so then we have a huge cloud of pollution between our two lands. The perfect boundary don't you think? Nothing can pass through without dying or being covered in soot. Win/win.

Actually, we'll just build several of these fans, place them on decommissioned aircraft carriers, and station them near the coast of Steampunkeria to blow the soot back onto Steampunkerian soil before the albatrosses get cancer.

How much of your "oil" is being used to make that sort of stuff eh?

Ever tried roast Kangarat? Delicious. Oh but sure, if we've got lots of soot and pollution, we can't farm Kangarat...

Don't even think about approaching my waters with your ships.
My airships are already being mobilised to stop you from going near.
However, as a consolation, we'll blows all the pollution to the west. So that way you're not affected by it then.

 

[Tee Kay]

Energy is from renewable sources, and synthetic fuel can be made from biofuels, natural gas, oil or coal. It's still much cleaner than what you use at home.

I've had Kangarat from Steampunkeria. Tasted funny. Probably due to all that soot. Kangarat from Selachima taste a lot better.

You're forgetting that even if you let your pollution blow out to sea it would still pass over your farms before that.

Oooo, airships. Nice. Our fighter pilots keep complaining that enemy planes don't explode awesomely enough. That won't be much of an issue with airships.

Instead of blowing your pollution in other people's faces we suggest you get rid of your polluting technologies and embrace the future, or at least find a way to burn coal cleaner.

 

[Bratmon]

Moneta was about to declare on Steampunkeria because they are damaging international waters. Then Pres. Mon realizes he did the same thing by blowing up an entire section of ocean.

 

[CivRulesAll]

It seems as Selachima and Steampunkeria are not being very friendly...
If a war breaks out, Andara will support Selachima.

 

[cardgame]

TSS will not take the Republic's offer of free technology seriously. If they cannot draw a map () then what good is their other technology?

Spoiler map error :

Really though, you created an island out of one of my peninsulas.

Regarding the new nation of Steampunkeria, TSS will be issuing an embargo against them for their immense damage to the environment. We do not want to live in an apocalyptic world of pollution!

Be quiet or president McCloud will asbestos bomb both of you.

Oh, and we recognize the nation of Steampunkeria.

 

[choxorn]

The Republic of Trichomedia is shocked at the poor map drawing skills of its fellow nations that caused the unexistance of The Republic and n00bistan, and Steampunkeria's incorrect location. We are posting a corrected map now. Steampunkeria is no longer too far south, n00bistan is back, and all the names have returned.

 

[Stylesrj]

Yes, but you're wasting a lot of resources making substitute. At least use the real stuff.

You're forgetting that even if you let your pollution blow out to sea it would still pass over your farms before that.

The farms are to the east, thank you very much. The west-blowing pollution won't affect them.

Oooo, airships. Nice. Our fighter pilots keep complaining that enemy planes don't explode awesomely enough. That won't be much of an issue with airships.

Did I mention these airships fly as high as your planes and can release planes of their own. Besides, your fighters won't be able to track my airships with all the clouds of smoke my weapons and vehicles can generate

We are not technologically backwards! We are more advanced than any of you!

Oh, and we recognize the nation of Steampunkeria.

Thank you. Glad someone cares

You can't embargo me! I'll embargo you! There! How does that feel?

 

[choxorn]

More advanced than any of us? Then how can you know nothing of other resources? We get most of our energy by chanelling the waves. The giant lake in the middle of our island is really good for that.

We never said we don't know anything about them. We choose not to use them in such wasteful numbers as you are.
We use Uranium for alloying things. Pretty tough stuff that Uranium is.

Alternative energy just isn't worth the costs or space for little benefits. We have tried setting up windmills on the parts where we blow the pollution, but they only seem to be useful for powering the fans to blow the pollution elsewhere... plus the windmills are a pain to clean.

 

[choxorn]

Perhaps if your air was cleaner, the windmills wouldn't get so dirty?

 

[Stylesrj]

Perhaps if your air was cleaner, the windmills wouldn't get so dirty?

But then how are we meant to be using the power of wind if we don't have any pollution to blow in their way? We're not a very windy island you know.

 

[Bratmon]

Moneta declares an embargo against Steampunkeria for massive pollution. Our island is powered by the Bratium we find everywhere. We have enough to ship to space and sell.

 

[choxorn]

Well then, use hydro-electric, or geothermal, or solar, or SOMETHING.
