1st AoI International Summit [Open/AoI ONLY]

[Anthony Willman]

"That's their problem. If we use it on opposing regions, then we would be defending ourselves," Anthony pointed out, "and nobody could deny that."

"But not if they don't attack first. This i only an effective strategy assuming that someone is getting ready to bomb us. And, just pointing out, if we build up forces, they will assume that we are trying to attack them, and bomb us as a preemptive strike."

"It is only for defense. We don't attack unless we are attacked," Anthony replied, "and to quote George Washington, 'The most effective means for preparing for peace is preparing for war.'"

OOC: What?

[New Roman Empire]

"WMDs have cause nothing but harm in my opinion. I say that we just get rid of them so we don't have to worry about them later. I have never been in a conflict in which WMDs were the answer to victory. No, its won by troops who fight hard to not only defend the country, but to defend their homeland. I believe we should just get rid of them." Informed Tiberius.

"We cannot simply ban WMDS even if we choose to believe they can be banned you can be sure our enemies won't hesitate to develop them and hold it over our heads every time we come into conflict"

[Anthony Willman]

"We cannot simply ban WMDS even if we choose to believe they can be banned you can be sure our enemies won't hesitate to develop them and hold it over our heads every time we come into conflict"

"The only way this would be decently agreed upon is if we just don't use them on each other in AoI," Anthony replied, "seeing that our enemies probably are way ahead of us on this, I say we hurry and get this vote taken."

"OK, I propose a compromise. We keep Nuclear weapons and other WMDs at our border. we use them only against outer forces, and none within the region. If you do use your weapon on someone else in the region, you will be bombed by all the other nations. Keeps us from killing ourselves out of fear of death itself." Proposed The Sultan. "yay, or nay?"

[NoblePhnx]

"Aye"

[New Roman Empire]

"Abstain."

[Rellacrystal]

Then, A blue carriage pulls up in front of the house. The white horses come to a halt and the coachman steps down and reaches for the purple door, adorned with the Rellacrystal coat of arms. A girl steps out, wearing a traditional, renaissance-themed blue and purple gown with an Elsa-like cape attached to the back, and two long, brown streaks of hair are clipped back. "Oh no, I'm so late!" She says as she runs up the steps. "Which way to the meeting?" A man holding the door open shows her the way, and she dashes inside. When she reaches the meeting room, she straightens out her hair and her dress. "Hello, I'm-*breath*-Princess Caitlin of-*breath*-Rellacrystal, and I'm so-*breath*-sorry for being late-*breath*."

[Anthony Willman]

"I've been suggesting that already," Anthony replied, "I vote aye!"

Oh...hello? Is anyone here? Well, of course; I can see the camreas." She points at one in the corner. "I'm Princess Caitlin, of Rellacrystal? I'm here, and I'm sorry for being late."

"yeh your late - quite a bit actually. we were just voting on this proposition -

"The only way this would be decently agreed upon is if we just don't use them on each other in AoI," Anthony replied, "seeing that our enemies probably are way ahead of us on this, I say we hurry and get this vote taken."

"yay, or nay?"

- so what is your vote?

"yay, or nay?"

- so what is your vote?

"Well..." The princess thinks for a moment, then replies. "But what If there's an attack from the center of our region? It would probably take a while to move the nuclear weapons. And besides, if two nations in this region go to war, there's got to be a compromise other than nuking the nation that started it. I vote Nay." She awkwardly puts her hand on the back of her neck, showing a sign of embarrassment. "Also, I just want to let you know that I am not from the renaissance, it's just a traditional... thing," as she points out her dress, just to clear the air. "So... What's next? Heh. Hm."

[Reddogkeno101]

"I say aye! Ban WMDs!" King Luke I butted in after being silent for some time. "How can we let Nuclear weapons exist when there are far more humane options. While my country may be a Kingdom; we are a very liberal-minded one and find the idea of M.A.D. to be flawed due to the possibility of an anti-nuclear deterent; eliminating the deterrent."

[Rifty]

"Our beautiful nation of Rifty will never agree to such terms of losing our WMDs or limiting when we can and can't use them. They are there purely for defense purposes and are yet to have been used in any other context. We will continue to produce and export these weapons for a profit - all in the name of business as well as international security.

In saying that - I must say Nay and that whatever decision is brought to on this matter will not be followed by our nations leaders."

"I agree!" Replies the princess, after taking her seat at the table. "As I said, what if a spy/ bug got into a center nation of our region and exposed a weakness? We need our nuclear weapons to stay in their places, where they belong; our own nations. I still say nay."

"But I think you'll find your highness, that they could just as easily hack into your nuclear deterrent." Said King Luke I with a smirk on his face.

[Rellacrystal]

"But I think you'll find your highness, that they could just as easily hack into your nuclear deterrent." Said King Luke I with a smirk on his face.

"And how do you know that?" Princess Caitlin retorts. "I bet they could just as easily hack into yours. I may be young, but I'm not stupid." She scrunches her eyebrows. "Why are you smiling? this is a serious debate, not a time for mockery."

"But we don't have nuclear weapons; they were eliminated years ago. " said King Luke I "We have a anti-nuclear missile defence system in progress, so no matter the outcome of this vote, we are safe. Now, we would be willing to sell our anti-ICBM systems for a reasonable cost. Would anyone be interested?"

"Do you think that I knew that? Obviously not, because I've never been to Reddogkeno101," She says. "I'm moving my seat." the young leader moves her seat to a side farther from King Luke I. "I just hope that this won't go on forever," she says to herself. "I just wanted to be allies with everybody in the region."

"Not all WMDs are nuclear devices," General Stretch reminds everyone at the table, "we also have to consider biological and chemical agents." General Stretch stands up from the table and goes to get a bottle of flavored water.

We are aware of this - Does not take away from the fact that we wish to keep all our WMDs that are both nuclear and not. Ban them as you please; Demand and Supply baby" interrupts CEO Rozeck.

Is it too late to join?

"But, it's either blow them up or they blow us up," Anthony stated.

"He's got a point," says Princess Caitlin, after getting herself a can of Barq's Root Beer. "We've got to find a compromise." She squirms in her seat because of the itchy, traditional dress she chose to wore. "I'll be back in a minute..." she rises to change [because she can't darn stand it anymore!].

OOC: What's a WMD? I'm still fairly new to AoI and I don't know all the terms yet.
