Vapor: A Steampunk RP Region (OOC v. 2.0 -- CLOSED)

[Vitzenburg]

I think the time to try and evacuate the rest of the voerdeland cabinet members must begin before they're murderficated

[Cyprum Xecuii]

Should we make a full detailed map of the voerde state as to make references, help us figure our locations, etc?


By this, i mean zooming into Voerdeland and naming regions and whatnot.

I thought Fanaglia already did that

[Inoroth]

@Mish - I am most definitely a sir, but I appreciate you respect in not wishing to offend. Regarding hte diplomatic crisis, I must say: you did a very fine job of it! I hope my post will be helpful, but I can assure you it will not be prompt. I had not one but two family functions I had completely forgotten, and that affects my prediction for completion. If I am extremaly lucky, I might have it up by tonight... I assure you though that it will be worth the wait.

@Vijay - I think I have settled on the following: 1.) Outrage over Christian killings leads to several non-government regiments being formed to aid and avenge. Some will be killed, but the Inorothian Gov. will still be gridlocked. A fight will breakout in our Parliament, and it will be adjurned due to it's sevarity. Vinchero will not be able to stand it any longer and will create his own private army to save the all forigners trapped in the Voredenlandish capital, including our embassy. Also, quick question... Would it be alright if my embassy had an experimental radio tower atop it? Just enough to get communications through should the TG lines be cut. That could add to the whole 'Inoroth cares' persona I am trying to create, as we could offer people trapped in the siege to communicate to the outside world. If no one says nay, I am going foreward on it.

@Vitz -

Seconded. Read my comment to Vijay above for details as to the Inorothian plan. I plan on joining your Kaiseress's plan for a coalition, and I want to know what you are sending. If you need transport, we can offer it. I read IC that you plan to send your power-armor guys, and I have a possible plot point in mind if we co-tranport it, so lemmie know if your interested to I can TG it to you.

Good god, your post must be massive to take this long! I don't mind at all, and I look forward to reading it when you're finished. I would post some more stuff, but to be honest, I have a bit of a Writer's Block at the moment in the Fire and Madness Thread, beyond a paragraph or two. :/

[Dalruanazkal]

@Inoroth, I wouldn't think an embassy would have an experimental radio tower at this point. It seems unlikely.

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

Does anyone want to engage the Nerracca as it reaches Beaufort, dragging Inesea into it. Or should it go unopposed?

[Gratia Infinita]

As to Fire and Madness: I'll put up a post from the Native's VP that will hopefully move the plot along...

[Vjiay]

I'm gonna be heading to Beaufort too but will only get there in at least a fortnight (IC obv), I could engage you or at least ask you to go somewhere else?

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

maybe

[Cyprum Xecuii]

It's all about the strategy. You don't think they operate without set strategies, do you?








*Quickly starts making strategies*

Just had to put it down, strategy is moot to us.

[Mishmahig]

Uhm, Vjiay-----not to nitpick, but I don't have to go through your nation to get to Voerdeland (or even the Caeruleus Sea). I can go through the ports in the southern part of Voerdeland, with access through the Levidius Sea. I just thought you might want to know before I make my post in the Voerdeland thread.

But wasn't the massacre in Pefall? I got the impression that that's where you were headed?

Would be a hell of a march if you are...

Railroads connect the major port on the south side to the capital city, and from there it's only a hop, skip and jump to Pefalls. Besides, the peacekeepers can check in with the Mishmahigian Christian communities along the way, passing messages from the Dominion of Mishmahig, reassuring them, humanitarian supplies, etc.

Alrighty then, I guess you could say 'f--- you i'll go this way' then to Pelly and make him look like more of a tard, then, if you like

Though I'm not sure how intact the railroads would be in a shithole nation undergoing social upheaval lol

Well, you have to admit that most nations won't respond very nicely to the thinly veiled threat at the end of his message. Don't worry, my next message will be heavy-handed morality and diplomatic "Fudge you," but we'll accept your ultimate goal of cooperation, OOC. Still going through the south though.

And yeah, but even if they only take the troops 1/3 or 1/2 of the way, it's still better than making the slog themselves. And if that fails, they just walk along the roads until they get to the next functioning railroad station, rinse and repeat. I would imagine, given the scope, that the infrastructure in general is pretty messed up.

Yeah, Pelly's a prick, I didn't ever expect you to respond well to that comment.
Oddly he's well liked in Vjiay.
Which may say something about my populace.

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

You know, with the Promethian RR almost unainimous acceptance, wouldn't it be easier to hop the RR to Inesea or Khamul and march from there? I mean, the RR construction would begin in 1885, so i am assuming that, is the Amplector one is done, then shouldn't ours finish around the same time?

[Vitzenburg]

WOOO Black Mesa time!!!

The Promethian RR goes to the Voerish Free State?

Excuse my foolishness.

In that case, probably not, unless the RR line can handle military equipment.

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

Well, the current plan is to have twelve lines. 8 of which to be for civil use and 4 for military and high governmental use.
And for Fire and Ice Madness people, i wouldn't mind if a extremist from the tribes happened to blow up the mission.

The mission will fall/be abandoned very shortly.

[Fanaglia]

Hoo-wee, I've got a lot of catch-up reading to do...please excuse the delay.

I don't wish to be impudent, but radios are a major part of my civilization.

How would it be much different from telegraphs? Like Cyprum said, it's just pushing a switch instead of speaking. I don't see how radio, specifically, can be that central of an aspect of your civilization.

I don't get Vitz's post either, prease esprain.

And Mish, I am not posting too much on here cause I am feverishly writing a novel-length post for Vordenland. By the way, is anyone else noticing the unsettlingly eerie resemblance between what is going on in the RL Middle East and Vordenland? Lots o embassies attacked and a general unrest and unclear yet strong revolutionary movement? Creepy!

Yes, the Mishmahigian attack on the Voerish embassy was intentional (OOC, not IC, heh), so that it would raise that interesting parallel. I'm pleased to see that others have followed suit.

I'm a little bit unclear as to where to go from here. I shall await your novel-length post, good sir/madam, before I formulate my plans.

And this, my friends, is the reason I chose to get a bachelor's degree in Literature.

I did. I suppose I should edit the map into the OOC OP. Or, if Vjiay would like, he could edit it into the IC OP as well.

I'm with Dal -- why would the embassy be in possession of such advanced, experimental technology? We could instead just agree OOC not to cut the TG lines, or there are always carrier pigeons. The latter suggestion was originally intended to be a joke, but, actually, it wouldn't be that unreasonable, especially given the time period.

Actually, as mentioned in one of my Beaumont posts, parts of the section of the Continental (Red) Rail Line between Medale and Beaufort have been destroyed, disabling rail travel between them, and essentially cutting the nation in half. You're more than welcome to follow the remains of the road like you suggested earlier.
