International Union of Equality and Freedom (IC)

"Wait a moment, could you clarify that this is because of things like religion, species, and races? That was happening hundreds of years earlier. Have they been attacking you, or did you attack them first?"

"What?"

[Minoan Confederacy]

(OOC)
I do apologize for such mistakes but I tend to speak in long exhausting sentences outside of NS and my keyboard was stuck on the multilingual option leaving many options simply not open to me. The only reason I have not been speaking through Mikhail is simply because I am actually new to forum rpg's and at least I thought if no action was taken and you were only speaking you would not need to put the characters pretenses around the text.

(IC)
Mikhail smiled slightly to the fact that the rest of the union was responding.
"indeed that is a very respectable option for you to take and hopefully with the advice you give me, my Idea for the task-force will be brought nearer to reality".

[Yorobia]

"I sincerely do not understand your point at the slightest."

[Minoan Confederacy]

(ooc) I am new the other two were more or less desperate excuses for which I apologize

[Walrusfolk Eurarcta]

"I have no idea what is going on anymore," states Darkwolyn. She inhales a bit of Eurarctan Crack and zones out until things start making sense.

[Yorobia]

OOC: Let me get this straight. You are new, and you were making desperate excuses?

[Carceno]

"I have no idea what is going on anymore," states Darkwolyn. She inhales a bit of Eurarctan Crack and zones out until things start making sense.

Derik resists the urge to punch the Walruswoman in the face. Damn crackheads.

Ahriman looked around "This is a first. The utter confusion in this room os over the top. Now back on topic, regarding a unified military. I have come to the decision that it would not work. Previously we opted for the idea, yet Chaos has determined that a bunch of issues could occur if we contributed to such an organization."

[Crystal Spires]

By Fornt's beard, I'm not getting fevers anymore. I'm not allowed to be sick.

"Are we discussing a united UEF militia? I believe what we agreed upon before was a veritable coalition where we mutually protect one another, and we contribute our military might where we see fit. 'Tis my suspicion that having a UEF Military will cause an unbalance of power among the protectors and is less ideal. My opinion is that we keep our current system, but that it merely my opinion and we should really put it to a vote, however I bear more news from the Nation of Hippostania. They have rejected our calls for peace talks and I believe this demands a call for action bearing the purple banners of the contractors. Perhaps we can discuss the call for action. Remember all, I and many others are part of the Coalition of Ponyist States. 'Tis against my principles to attack Lyra as well when I have called for peace. Therefore I am considering organizing international sanctions, trade blacklists, travel blacklists, and organized protests. What say you?" Maven asked with a smile.

[Crystalcliff Point]

"The copy of the letter has arrived, Maven. Normally there'd be a report by now, she must really be going to town on it."

[Crystal Spires]

"'Tis important than they be thorough. I want no doubt at all of Lyra's guilt or innocence before I move forward at all. Spireans are honor bound to safeguard the truth. I will not take any action if I know it to be a lie. I am a patient being." Maven said as he calmly took the tea. "Also I find it hilarious that the Hippostanian Sapient Rights Organization has called for my execution. How funny that the name is so ironically applied. No rights have I, as a communist."

Ahriman scoffed "Wow a lot of good that will do in a land were free speech is not taken with any grain of salt. Yet you try to break a brick wall with your fists. Trade sanctions and blacklists may disappoint the nation a little. " as he flicked a ball of light into the air. He looked around and his eyes went light blue and then changed again to another colour.

[Yorobia]

"I seriously don't recall someone saying anything about punching a wall."

[Crystalcliff Point]

To: Maven
From: Professor Kokonoe

I've been studying the letter in depth. It appears to match Lyra's handwriting and communique making making it either legitimate or a very clever counterfeit.

More details will be available later, but it seems rather conclusive.
-Kokonoe"

"I don't think that'll work. However, we have a... safeguard should they seek hostile action against us or an ally of ours. Everyone's happier if they are not used."

[Apoctis]

"I seriously don't recall someone saying anything about punching a wall."

Ahriman just sighed "Mortals, I expected nothing more." and went about listening to everything else that was going on.

[Minoan Confederacy]

Mikhail sat down humbled for his inability to remember such detail sharpness draining from his eyes.
"o-of course maven i do apologize it slipped my mind".
"you know that you have the Confederacies support in any U.E.F matter".

[Teddy Bear Republic]

Regarding the Hippostanian-Spirean affair, is there a link where I could find out some context? Or are you just sending each other telegrams?

Tottles had been eyeing the debate. So far, there had been nothing that the TBRE could get involved with - they weren't great diggers, and the cabinet were still trying to pass a bill that'll allow the military to have a more active role.
"With all due respect, Mr. Auryn, we were wondering how your matter is related to Equality and Freedom. Not that we want you dead, Rodyrick forbid, of course."
"Before you start banishing me from this room, I feel that we may need to adjust our organization's title. Because we have become much more than simply defending Equality and Freedom. We've been defending ... common sense, for want of a better word. Just saying."

[Crystalcliff Point]

"It sets bad precedent if someone is able to attack members of the Union without reprisal. We have an obligation to protect our own."

[Crystal Spires]

"Hippostania targets Communists for one, and this is less about me and more about their political discrimination. The fact that they go beyond their own borders to threaten and blackmail me using the lives of my people for being communist is actually secondary as a concern. Hippostania has numerous violations to freedom and equality. Allow me to break this down... Hippostania kills those who are deemed treasonous or those who are classified as terrorists. This is code for Communists. Hippostania's entire leftist and Communist parties have ceased to exist, and easily so. The majority of them have been executed as terrorists and also as treasonous elements. The fact that I am communist just makes me a target to Hippostania to which there has already been a threat to my life from Lyra herself." Maven said as he looked at Tottles.

[Yorobia]

"To sum it up, nobody really like Hippostania or Lyra. For all Lyra.

[Teddy Bear Republic]

"I stand corrected. Apologies for the interruption and my ignorance."

[Yorobia]

"Request for a clarification of what you are talking about."

[Teddy Bear Republic]

Tottles raised my eyebrow. "On my transgression? I had hoped that the matter has passed."

[Yorobia]

"Nevermind then."

[Crystal Spires]

"Transgression? Not at all my friend. There are few who know how deep the rabbit hole goes in Hippostania. The fact that they want to kill me is merely a reflection of the fact that their intention is not to stop with their own people. They've murdered many Hippostanians, but they will not stop until all communists, leaders or otherwise, are dead." Maven said with a strangely tired look. "As a civil servant it makes more concern for me protect the meek communists that exist all over the world from Lyra and her murderous schemes. There exist many meek communists who live in fear of the exposure of their political ideals, and for a proud communist man and country like myself and the nation of Crystal Spires, we will not stand down or deny our political positions until we are destroyed. Speaking of, in order to finalize the rejection of the calls for peace,we will bring forth the call for sanctions center stage, and ask the international community for help. Be aware it will be a Spirean call, and not a UEF call for sanctions. If you believe it is the right call, you may all adopt a position of a signatory in the sanctions."
