The Multipolar World (MP)

[Jehoshua]

the nature of the Comintern is different however from the WP the WP is (or perhaps was) a mere collection of neutral states under mutual protection. The Comintern on the contrary from what I gather was a more cohesive military alliance block with a more co-ordinated alliance front in regards to foreign policy.

That said I would like to point out that I did state that I would prefer Angola's removal from the resolution. I voted yes on it simply because to vote no would be to let Korea and Oz off the hook in regards to an aggressive war of conquest over India for which justifications had been flimsy at best.

I also note Angola did not leave the Comintern when Oz and company did their little invasion. At last check a number of WP states are considering departing should the rumours be true in order to preserve their neutrality, as was the purpose of the WP to begin with.

 

[Kinich-Ahau]

It's funny... when Oz and Korea invaded India, I used this same argument to defend myself (in reverse, obviously). In that scenario, it was "omg comintern evuuul" Now that it is happening to you guys, you are, as well, using it to defend yourself, but now it is okay because it is you instead of us.

Hypocrites.

Not quite; if I recall correctly, they blamed you for sanctioning the attack, with the Crusader State, the 501st Legion, & the Republic of Coruscant being mostly ignored in the debate.

Traitors don't deserve the right to be spoken to.

I did not leave because their actions were justified - to me, at least, even if not to you guys. An invasion of India is a lot less on the scale of nuking half the world; I would have ejected Korea or Oz, or anyone in my alliance, for that matter, if they decided to go on a nuclear rampage.

Hypocrites.

Oz understands the initial response of Scotireland on the attack on India. To attack an ally is condemnable. However sometimes a nation has to undertake condemnable actions if this is for the greater good of the world.
Oz, together with Korea and Angola, have taken all possibilities into consideration. In the end it was concluded that no possibility was desirable but that this was the best way to handle it. Oz will not seek forgiveness for this action for it acted for the good of the Comintern and the world.

Oz & Korea had several proper cassus bellis (one posted here in this thread) and were acting with the blessing of Angola. While my heart is filled with sorrow at the immense loss of life, it was necessary for the stability and survival of the Comintern as a whole - I have no regrets.

As these quotes show, this is a different situation. The UN resolution, and international condemnation, were focused on the states that had committed or supported the attack. The Crusaders took a little flak for defending it, whilst the 501st and Coruscant, who everybody agreed had no part in it, were left untouched. Here, most WP states are declaring their intent to sever ties with the pact, and Partitionania admits they were acting alone. We cannot be treated as at fault for something we were not warned of, whilst you were at fault for having agreed to the invasion.

Edit:

I would have ejected Korea or Oz, or anyone in my alliance, for that matter, if they decided to go on a nuclear rampage.

And look at how many people are leaving or considering leaving the WP. It's not unlikely it will soon be reduced to it's roots as a Partitionania-only alliance

I believe it was stated that you were informed..

 

[Dem Taqat]

I believe it was stated that you were informed..

The only information I recieved was the following message:

Operation First Strike is launched. Prepare your forces if it does not succeed.

I had no idea what that was, but, as stated in the UN, I made sure I was not involved in any first strikes. If you want to try and cast us as guilty because of that, feel free.

[GenMarshall]

I'd like to shed some disturbing light on this issue:

This was posted long after I thanked DT's offer he made in my VM.

While on the subject. Primarily, Partitionia strongarmed the Republic, if it surrenders in an unjust war that it was forcefully thrown into, that it's land would be partitioned off and it's military stripped.

Personally, I find this quite unfair. Especially since I have had no involvement in regards to what was going on with the Comitern.

Primaire Holt had just woken up from his long night of beauty sleep when he felt a sharp pain flash through his chest. He put his hand down towards the burning area, as if he couldn't believe what he was feeling. Before he could, however, he felt the flash again. And again. The world went dark...

-----

People of Kongo. Today is a terrible, saddening day. Our Primaire, the man who has led us through these troubled times, has died.

Therefore, it is with a heavy heart that I claim my duly elected place as his successor. Elections for my successor will be held in two weeks.

Thank you, people of Kongo, and good night.

~Primaire George Vinta

-----

The newly sworn in Primaire, George Vinta, was sitting in his office chair. He stared despondently at the photograph of his late friend and mentor, Primaire Holt. The man had died of a stroke. A stroke! Why couldn't he have died peacefully, in his sleep? Alas, these questions were never to be answered.

At that moment, a loud BANG resounded throughout his office. George could hear his aide outside calling in, "Sir! Mr. Primaire! I have urgent news!"

George was not in the mood for any statecraft at the moment. His recent short speech had taken almost everything out of him. "Go away, Maire! Not tonight."

But Maire would not go away, she kept pounding on the door. "Mr. Primaire, really! This is very important!" George figured that if he ignored her she would go away. But she didn't. "George Vinta! Open the door this instant!" Before he knew what was going on, George was on his feet and opening the door.

"What, Maire?"

"Sir, the Watchtower Defensive stations are picking up multiple missile launches!"

That jolted George out of his depression. In a second he was a picture of authority and capability. "Who launched?"

"Partitionania. Watchtower Missile Defense Stations 1-40 are detecting missiles headed towards Africa."

George picked up the phone immediately and dialed Missile Command. A bored voice answered. "Kongo Missile Launch and Defense Command. How may I help you, Mr. Primaire?"

"I need to speak to General Eduva right away."

"Yes sir. Transfering."

"General Eduva, yes?"

"General. Go to Alert Level Beta."

The voice on the other end sounded extremely suprised. "Beta, sir? Whats going on?"

"It doesnt matter at the moment. Just go to Level Beta."

"Yes sir." A voice could be heard shouting out orders, with incredulous voices answering. "Done, Mr. Primaire."

"Good. Activate Vengance 1-5, point at Target ID 087."

"Partitionania? Sir, what is going on?"

"Just do it, General."

"Yes, sir. Done."

"Good. Have your men ready for possible activation of Vengance 6-9, Revenge 1, and launch."

"Yes, Mr. Primaire." George hung up the phone, and rapidly picked it up again. "Patch me through to the Joint Staff office."

He heard a rapid series of clicks, and an impatient voice on the other end. "Yes, Mr. Primarie?"

"Head General Tyro. Go to Alert Level Beta, all units, all forces. Call up the reserves, and prepare damage control teams for bunkers."

The voice became signifigantly less impatient. "Yes, Primaire. Shall I send the Ravens to your bunker?"

"Not yet. That will be all General." he hung up the phone once more, and turned to Maire.

"Bring me Scotch. A lot of Scotch. And get the Advisory Circle in here. I need them 10 minuted ago."

Maire hurried away. This is bad....

-----

Leon deGrace lounged boredly in his chair in front of the Missile Control station. Vengance 1 had never been activated, and it wasn't going to happend today either. At least, thats what he thought until he heard The Alarm.

WOOOWOOOWOOO "Action Level Beta, repeat, Action Level Beta. Target ID, 087" WOOWOOWOO....

Leon let his training take over as he activated the dormant hammer that lay right outside his window. His partner was still looking stunned when the launch bay doors began to open.

-----

Across the nation of Kongo, radio, video, and even internet screens were replaced by the following message.

"This is Primaire Vinta. The Marxist Republic of Kongo has detected missile launches that are heading towards Africa. Get in your designated shelter. Now. You have little time. May God be with us all."

ooc: I though that there was going to be no crazier IOT than IOT 7. I was wrong. This IOT is totally crazy. I propose we rename it into: The Multipolar Nuked World (NP)

"So, they hit..."
First Cross Private Neil Aria's words lingered in the air for several moments. The chill running down the squad's spines was colder than ice. As they had climbed out of the bunker, all they saw was wasteland. The bunker hadn't been necessary; the radiation was able to make it though despite the guaranteed security the structure promised. Everyone inside without a similar suit to the squad's Steel Crusade(SC)-770 Power Armor was dead. No sense staying.

The radiation detector on all their suits ticked like mad, which was the only noise that broke the bone-chilling silence of everything. Second Double-Cross Sargent Conner Kopsas, squad leader, finally spoke, "His Holy City is more than likely gone... The King with it... Lord, what are we supposed to do. I am trained to lead my squad through enemy lines and battlefields... This... How do I lead my squad through a lot of nothing..."

The radio operator and medic for the squad, Double-Cross Corporal Lucia Lillis hadn't known what to say. The only noise on all channels was constant buzzing, except for one entitled Templar's Spear, which hadn't responded to any distress signal. She was just as lost as her commander. First Cross Sargent Bernard Foss, Demo expert, simply looked at the cast waste, gun leaning on his shoulder from the palm of his hand.

The Private however, was a little more hopeful. "Maybe we should try to make it to the shoreline?"
"What would that accomplish, Private?" The squad leader said, nearly dismissively.
"My cousin is in the Teutonic navy. His patrol submarine was on patrol when the bombs fell. It's possible we could find survivors th-"
The Private's words were cut off by a blast of static that bypassed Lillis' radio control firewall. The static came from the ghost radio Templar's Spear. The static abruptly stopped and a voice came through. An insignia appeared on the squad's video displays.

This is a message to all surviving Crusader military forces. The fact you're hearing this is due to atomic or otherwise just as deadly weapons destroying most of the Kingdom. While the situation appears worse than hopeless, you must keep strong. Follow these instructions without hesitation or error. The continuation and avenging of your country depends on it.

Beacons and way points have been placed on all functional displays, heads-up or otherwise. That is the nearest Knights' base. Get to this location as quickly as possible. You have the next twenty-four hours to reach that installment. An hour after and any trace of the base will be gone. A countdown has been added to all displays.

This message will repeat every hour.

Godspeed, Crusaders.

Due to the recent events, it is very well possible that Siberia could leave the WP. We encourage all other WP nations to at least consider leaving. That is all.

 

[Sonereal]

Confirming Somalia joining WP.

 

[bestrfcplayer]

Siberia has now made it official that we are leaving the Warsaw Pact.

 

[Tambien]

Until missile launches are confirmed, and its not just proven to be ghosts on the radar, Kongo will not leave.

 

[Tyo]

Even if he was the one who announced it and tani already confirmed Angola, Korea, and most of Crusaderland are wastelands?

 

[Tambien]

Where did Tani confirm it?

 

[Tyo]

The chat.

 

[Double A]

Confirming me still being a neutral troll.

 

[Tambien]

Well the chat doesn't count for IC stuff. Be assured that I will be leaving the WP after Tani posts here.

 

[Tyo]

While you're not in-character, all announcements and/or information given out in chats can be considered reliable; especially when it's the GM who says it.

Also, Tani apparently had yet to do the total province loses. Angola has 11 territories left.
