The War of the Two Empresses OOC/Signup Thread

[Naybra]

I enjoy how no one seemed to read my post and letter to Ghant. Mizrad, so help me if you accidentally shoot my officials, I'll kill you! However, depending on New Lowland's decision, it would be a great plot twister. I love how you also use Halcyon Arms Aircrafts. I'm not alone.

I am editing my chapter to reflect your letter. Sorry, I have been busy of late.

You don't have to edit...you can just make a new post. No worries.

It's alright, I squeezed it into my latest chapter.

I actually don't use aircraft from him, I only use his ships. The two planes just happen to go by the same name and designation.

[Loufe]

Yeah, I think I might edit it so the meeting is in a week or so. But, Ghant and I created a different sort of story. All will be revealed.

[Naybra]

How should Naybra get into this? There are enough ships attacking the Greentreader, no point sending troops to Gillenor, coups everywhere, what to do?

[Mizrad]

Research the hint of biological weapons being within the grasp of Laoni? Of course we'll need more of a plot backing to this but, we've already kind of gone over if it's a good addition to the RP or not. Ghant, you up for something like that?

[Virenna]

Hi, I was wondering if it was too late to get in this? I was planning on having my nation try to work from the shadows, playing the various sides off of each other through the use of its renown intelligence agency in return for economic benefits.

As far as I know, this is open to all. Your welcome to join, though it has progressed quite far. I recommend you read the summary in the OP and read the last two pages of the RP.

Which is pretty much exactly what I'm doing, so I'm sure it's possible to do that especially if you have little connection with any of the heavily involved nations.

Great! Will do.

Yes, that sounds great. Naybra will be a big player later in the RP too, I am sure.

I'm at a bit of a self-imposed impasse, since my government is too unsure of which side is in the moral/legal right to act, nor sure what is in our own interest beyond staying out of the war. I need hardly point out that that's fairly boring for RP purposes, so I'd like to ask three questions: first, what are the sides like in terms of strength; second, can we maybe conduct more diplomacy; and third, does anybody have any other suggestions for how we might become properly involved, presumably 'accidentally'?

Perhaps Firmador gets caught red-handed funding some rather barbarous rebels? I've been looking for an In anyways... You're anti-Ghant (in a nut shell), right?

We're only very slightly anti-Emperor, more anti-Rhodesea, and (privately) very slightly pro-Mizrad (for cultural reasons only). But that might work, since to us you're relatively socialist and conservative - and we have smouldering riots along those lines in one of our Realms (The Democratic Republic of Bvordsha).

Should I announce riots and border demarcation disputes?

If by border demarcation dispute you mean local self-determination groups, sure. Riots are always nice, undermines the gov't

You could include a recent military/police seizure of arms that are surprisingly advanced (SPAAGs, Artillery pieces, etc) and would lead your gov't to believe they're being externally supported. You can RP the initial contact if you want, the usual Firmadores operative is either French or German (Junker), since we don't use the majority ethnicity for undercover operations.

[Mizrad]

So Ghant, would you mind making a post about the whole bio-weapons thing? I can help you with it if you would like.

[Crysuko]

Room for one more?

[Ghant]

I will at some point, yes. I don't know how I would make a post about it at this stage of the RP though.

[Ghant]

Room for one more?

Yes, there is always room!

[Libraria and Ausitoria]

Incidentally, just while you're considering chucking WMDs about, please note it is common IC knowledge that any use of any WMD against any Librarian/Ausitorian anywhere will initiate our automatic destruction of any possible perpetrator. There wouldn't even be a human involved to stop it.
(In other words, Ausitorian Princes go of their rockers when WMDs start flying).

Therefore OOCly I will demand a very good IC reason before I get involved in WMDs.

Firmador, I've put in the initial basis - you (and anyone else) can certainly respond to the events. And if you (or anyone else) would like to RP sinister conversations with Colonel Sponsz or his henchmen at some point, we can work it out here.

[Firmador]

Hope I didn't take too many liberties:

Teleported 37 Special Operatives and 600 Weapons (+ Ammo) into the country. Hope that's okay.

[Crysuko]

Room for one more?

Yes, there is always room!

Splendid. Then expect an official app later. I don't have access to my PC, only a smartphone right now.

[Libraria and Ausitoria]

Hope I didn't take too many liberties:

Well only a few liberties that I ought to object too. First, they don't toss Molotov cocktails in daytime and only 20 have been thrown so far: since young people tend to be relatively liberal, most of them aren't taking up arms. Second there's definitely a surplus of emergency services and nobody is about to die from the riots, even if about two dozen buildings have been gutted. You'd be more likely to see garbage piling up on the sides of the roads than soot, since they're striking. Third the police force isn't just rounding up random people - they're cross checked against large databases, CCTV images, and the like.

Then the important matter: your little invasion. You could have applied (and been given) an import permit for the AK-74s, but people are different: you couldn't have smuggled in armed special forces (or mining) outside of Bvordsha without telling me how they got in: the land borders are naturally being carefully checked. And I can't let you get away with more than about 3 special forces inside Bvordsha itself for more than six-nine hours before our secret service would have noticed and acted.

If you want to strike the main realm itself, you'd need to either launch an attack upon one of our border posts, stage an amphibious landing, or do a parachute drop - any of which would probably be noticed.
