It would be fantastic if you said where I was wrong, for example.
The entire fundamental belief that Boji and I are against you because we're non-impartial OPs? Honestly, that's just nonsense. If I wanted to *really* target you or others to my own advantage, I would've already had tuberculosis ravage the Russian, Austrian and Greek armies, and basically unleashed a hellfire and damnation torrent of brutality because I've reserved my rights as OP to inflict random chaos on nations without warning to keep things interesting. So far I have not done that in order to maintain the fact that I am OP and I have responsibilities to not levy unjust and harshness upon nations who haven't deserved it. I've only threatened to unleash hell upon nations who go out of their way to act *beyond all recognizable boundaries of realism*, such as Vak wanting to keep his American colonies for a long time, or the idea of Korea conquering Japan while under the Chinese bootheel.
And yet you're convinced that I'm still concerned about what you termed
"priors", that I'm unhappy about Russia or the Philippines or some shit last RP and am plotting to fuck you over. Not to mention that three of the rules explicitly listed me and one of them still does, which certainly created the impression that I was on thin ice before I'd even posted. If that isn't an insult to my character, or you being nasty to me, I'm not sure what is.
So before you start going after me for being non-realistic and being rude to me by insisting that Boji and I are not fit to be OPs, I would advise you to chill the fuck out and realize that you're just being nasty toward us. There is no reason for your really misplaced and out of place suspicions and accusations. If you really cannot handle Boji and I running this RP, then you know where the door is. I would prefer you stay, but if you're going to devolve back into this pattern of hard suspicion when there is no such need for it considering Boji and I have been more focused on the glaring threat of the Austrians and Russians, well... yeah. No.
Oh, yes, I'm the one making up threats that don't exist. You remember what plotting did to me last RP, and yet you are not only convinced that I'm doing it again, you're convinced I'm doing it over something that is now wholly irrelevant.
I'm not looking to leave, either. I'm not even looking to create conflict. I'm looking to guarantee that this RP's disputes are being judged by people who don't have dogs in the fight. I don't think that's too much to ask.
To be honest, your accusations are offensive and an insult to my character, and I would like an apology. I have done nothing in this RP that would warrant your crass, suspicious and downright unnecessary attitude, other than the establishment of a NGF in agreement with two player characters (both of whom consent to the federation). Realism has never been a core tenet of the AWWA RP, considering that on many occasions, YOUR GERMANY acted beyond realistic boundaries in the fact that it had no Hochseeflotte or Ostasienflotte to really compete with it's neighbors, never experienced Weltpolitik, and the establishment of a pan-elective monarchy (which was not something Germans would really consider). We all twisted realism as well in the sense that we basically blew butterflies into a burning furnace as we had historical people showing up >200 years after the original point of divergence. Chances are, Ronald Reagan, James Carter and Kim Il-sung would not be actual people in a world like the one in the original AWWA.
Also; the Confederate attack on Pearl Harbor in 1891? Naval technology and air technology was VERY PRIMITIVE at that time, and under no circumstances could such an attack be undertaken without it basically be pyrrhic, yet you captured the entire Japanese fleet stationed there. Hm.
Oh also: The Confederacy's abolition of slavery, establishment of women's rights, and enacting of prohibition all in one omnibus bill. C'mon now, man. We're all guilty of fucking with realism.
I'm not sure if you've noticed, but I've left a lot of the shit from last RP behind. I have only picked nations of lower to moderate power, I have sought your permission or input on large amounts of what I've done with them, I have picked nations I did not have in AWWA, I have tried to back up everything I did with real events or concepts, I have tried to drop the grudges from last RP. I have actively attempted to reform or abolish the flaws of last RP, and leave AWWA1 thoroughly in the past. I want this to be AWWA2, not AWWA1 redux. You should also note that I generally have trusted you two as OPs on this thread, with regards to the Greek Rebellion and Vaktovia among others. I'm simply saying that in this situation it would be better to have a neutral judge as we had in Shrillland.
I was not attempting to attack you personally. If it came across that way, I apologize. I was, however, trying to say that I would feel better if we had a judge who was not also the defense because that
should prevent conflict in the future.
