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

[Kylarnatia]

Posted - Finally! D:

Happy, Aqui?

Yup. If you find the time, get yourself on the IRC for a moment. If you don't find the time, still do it

Basically, there's a few things I want to discuss with you before I make my next post, some things need clarification etc.

Alright, it'll be a pop-and-go visit because I'm still doing other things, but if it'll get you to post

[Aquilinia]

Time for things to turn hot, I guess....

[Rethan]

Wait what. Oh god I am so lost.

For those who don't know I've been out of the house until right now, and have no idea what the hell is going on anymore. Blame my brother and cousin getting hit by a speeding driver. It's their fault. Bleh. So I'm just gonna post the post I had planned (giving more detail on the Irekran blackmail, and accepting the aid from FSSO). If I miss something you think is important and that I should pay attention to, nudge me in this thread and I'll either edit or post again. Life's shot to hell right now with no less than 3 family members in hospital, so I'm gonna have to ask all o' y'all to be patient while I jump around the Irish countryside from place to place like a rabbit on crack.

If you're on the IRC, I'll give you a summary of recent events

[Millsa]

Once again I will try to post by sunday evening, Work just seems to suck all creativity out of me.

[Crontor]

It's all good Millsa.

If war does break out Millsa, whose side would you take?

[Millsa]

The L.C.Us

[Crontor]

The L.C.Us

Good, because we will most likely be facing down Aqui, Kyle, and Rethan.

This will be quite an epic battle.

For Rhods? Yes but it's mostly pre Gratislavian. but I have a rudimentary factbook for Gratislavia that needs to be built upon available.

Are you coming back to fill in the rest?

[Aquilinia]

Aaaand ACTION!

I had originally intended that Sirius survives all this. Ah well, screw them.

By the way, Crontorian troops still won't be too welcome. But you are welcome to prevent other people from helping Sirius. As I said ICly, an official message will be posted once the first bombing runs are over. Will post the Sirian reaction to all this after lunch.

[Kylarnatia]

Sweet - looking forward to this >:D

I don't know if I'll be able to post though, because I'm going to a concert today; so I might not be able to get anything done :/

And Crontor, I've told you that you haven't got as much power over the seas as you'd like - seeing as I was the first to arrive in Guanxi before you - I should technically be the one with a hold on that straight

[Aquilinia]

Well, the strait is surrounded by his country, so I am actually with Crontor on this one. He should be able to control it.

What kind of concert you going to?

[Aquilinia]

Okay, guys (sorry for double-posting).

I want your feedback regarding current events in the GCW. The question is simple: Should Empress Felicia die?

Not saying I will do what you tell me, but I'd like to hear what you guys thing

[Millsa]

Someone want to explain what's happening, I dont really have the time to read the last few posts.

[Aquilinia]

Aquilinia and Kylarnatia have completely switched their stance on Sirius and are now moving to utterly bomb them to hell and back because they shot down a fighter piloted by Empress Felicia who was on her way to Bad Sirau to...well, the official story will be "last-minute talks regarding the Crontorian embargo of Sirius", though those "talks" would have included Felicia bombing the office of the Sirian Premier from her fighter. If the Empress dies or survives isn't yet decided.

I question why an Empress was allowed fly in a fighter jet at all. That's just asking for a whole other level of clusterfuck to happen.

Because she was a fighter pilot (one of the best in the entire air force, too) before becoming Empress and because not following her orders (such as "give me a fighter!") would lead to quite a lot of nasty consequences? You don't disobey a direct order from a triple-five-star-general in a bad mood. Wouldn't be too good for your health.

True dat.

Bet whoever it is who didn't defy her is probably kicking themselves now though.

Nah, he's sitting in a fighter of his own to kick some serious Sirius butt.

See what I did there?

[Crontor]

Kyle, yes, you were there first, but I claimed that land first, and the labs surrounds the strait...so technically it is under my jurisdiction. But let's droP that subject, and not have an argument about it...buti haven't gotten a clear answer on this, is the area in grey at the top of the map water, or is it a polar ice cap?

I think Felicia should die, and Crontor will most likely not send troops, but send a fleet to bomb them into submission.

Lemme guess, you want her dead because you don't like her anyway. And your fleet will not be needed. By the time your fleet arrives they won't have anything to bomb left anyway

Alright, we don't care who destroys Sirius as long as it is destroyed.

And Grat you are accepted.

I infact made my claim before you - but Milograd got me delayed because of size and placement and I wasn't added until after you. And it doesn't matter who got onto the map first, because if you could think Guanxi was already like that before we did the picture, I was there first - therefore it's my strait. But, that's how I see it.

Though, I'd like to just remind you of two things;

1) Yes, It's the end of the borders of the region and therefore more water. If I remember correctly
2) You haven't got f*ck all power over my trade and you couldn't cripple it for sh*t.

I'll have to make my post tommorow, I'm nackered now. Could you all wait for me till then?

Let's just forget it, as current maps our, I have it, and therefore could deal a serious blow to your trade....

I am curious though, if the top of our map is water, why it is colored differentely than the rest of the water...
