Guanxi Cold War: Idea and Sign Up (Closed, ATTN Guanxi)

[Aquilinia]

Well, that ain't working. The only thing it did was that the Lusitanian ambassador now has to explain.

And that the entire Aquilinian nuclear arsenal is being readied for launch. Two can play at this game.

Let's not start a nuclear war, but have it be sort of like the Cuban Missile Crisis, with the Lusitanians hopefully getting the Crontorians to back down.

Heh, I never intended to start a nuclear war, just to be able to shoot back if you start one.

And this already is pretty much a missile crisis, innit?

I very much like that.

It's perfectly fine. Not everyone in our respective countries has to like the other. Also, remember when we talked about rivalries and tension within the nation itself? This is a perfect time to rp that.

Crontor I will get to your ambassadors ASAP, had a whole post written then accidentally hit a wrong button and poof gone!! Probably look for a post this evening or Friday.

I hate when that happens...

[Kylarnatia]

I'm fully back home now!

Sorry I didn't reply like I said I would, had to go to tea and I've been ill all week, but hey, I'm here now

Let me read through the IC and let me respond before anything else happens please, thanks

[Millsa]

Crontor I will be adressing your Ambassadors in my next post, I will also make it clear that Millsa will not go to war unless provoked. So don't think we'll just jump on the bandwagon against Aquilinia.

[Aquilinia]

Guys, sorry for my lack of activity, yesterday was busy, as is today, but I'll be back to my usual level of activity tomorrow.

Thats cool, on another note, what in gods name is a Longsword, a ship, missle, deathstar?

[Rethan]

Longsword, noun: Possibly one of the most lethal ships going, designed by Lyras. Has a reputation for being horrifically difficult to defeat using conventional tactics due to its immense number of missile platforms and the range it is capable of. However, the Longsword requires a skilled commander to use properly, since it's extremely large at over a kilometre long and without proper assistance is incapable of targeting enemies at maximum ranges.

Have fun trying to deal with it.

I have two of them...

And for everyone back, or not going to be active, it's cool, thanks for letting us know.

Kinda sucks that I only have one, but on the other hand, since Aquilinia proper has only 82 million people...I shouldn't even have that single one. Thanks for the miracle that is colonies - might go ahead and buy another for the colonial fleet.

Anyway, as I said, I'll be back posting tomorrow morning CEST.

Yeah, my two colonies don't really have the economy to support something of that magnitude...even though one has a billion people. But i'm not using that one in this rp.

EDIT: Millsa, I will respond when I'm done with yard work.

Plus the three I bought yesterday, that puts the Union total at 5 Longswords (Though I can put them away for this rp if that makes me look like a douche). I also tried to purchase one of his subs but my request was denied.

Not trying to be a copycat or nothing; just figured that since everyone else had some I might as well get a few my self.

Also a note: I leave to go to Europe on the twentieth or twenty first, going to visit my family back in the Patria (Portuguese Fatherland), so if the RP runs that far I may be inactive after the twentieth.

IIRC, there's an unwritten rule that if you purchase something during an RP, it can't be roleplayed as your nation in said RP. Which means you wouldn't have those Longswords for this roleplay. Of course, so long as people in this RP have no problem with it, then you can ignore that rule. I know I'd be happy to. ^ _ ^

The way I looked at it was that it would be sort of the arms buildup/race that we where talking about earlier. It's all up to you guys though.

I like it. Rockepeller is a dumbass .

I'd accept anything you buy, but Longswords, I don't know, they're just so friggin huge they take years to build. Of course, if everyone else is okay with it, I'll accept them as well - and get myself a shiny new Longsword as well

Well, what I basically did was create the colonies in order to maintain the economic stuff NSEconomy et al. spit out while still RPing Aquilinia proper (i.e. the Aquilinian homeland/mainland) as only having 82 million people.

The rest of the by now 2.7 billion are spread out between a few colonies (although I've only assigned about a billion as of yet, I think I'll just double the populations of every colony I have now).

Except they're buying them from Lyras, so I think they're already built. The issue comes from transporting them and then training the huge crew they need in how to actually operate them.

I think Lyras builds Longswords to order, but anyway, you got what I meant - it takes ages to get one of them ready for action.

Anyway, posted. Will make a bigger and better post once there is a bit more for me to reply to.

[Kylarnatia]

Aquil, I'll start our branch-off rp in a minute, which, if anyone is curious; I'll explain in a minute

But prehaps buddy, Empress Felicia could try and convince Tsar Kain to come to Aquilinia with his Defence Council and Empress Eadion, to have dinner but more importantly to get Kylarnatia on your side if you'd want them? I just want to get back in the rp and get a response as such

Well, since the Empress is currently talking to the Lusitanian ambassador, that would have to wait until he's left. Once the Empress, Grand Admiral Violette de Lune (I'll give you three internets if you can tell what character from the "original" Aquilinia that is) and the ambassador have finished, Felicia will send you a message.

Anyway, what are the sub-plots currently going? Of course the Rethan/Rethast/Nequam mobilization, and then I'm involved in the Crontorian-Aquilinian missile crisis, with the sub-sub-plot of Lord Robert's visit, but frakly I lost overview over what was going on besides that.
