Vapor: A Steampunk RP Region (OOC v.3.0 -- CLOSED)

[Mishmahig]

I was planning on building all Compact buildings and initiatives in the Promethian Free Cities, in order to boost their population, their infrastructure, and reinforce our links along the Promethian RR.

Sounds good to me. Also, got an ETA on Fall of Inesea?

Sorry 'bout that, had to plan stuff out for the summer, and then fell asleep.

I've got some time later today, so definitely today.

Nope, population.

Also, Sri, post 1908-09, we'll be sending missionaries to the Tschowan islands.

We should probably plan out a RP for this.

I'll kill them all.

That's the plan.

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

You are going to make this too easy.

[Pavlostani]

I'll kill them all.

And if I send Khamulist missionaries? If you kill them, it would be hilariously ironic.

Are you planning on a second war with Sri? Be aware that my nation will throw its support behind Sri, provided no Khamulist missionaries die. Considering that Khamulism will only return to Pavlostani in the '50s, that's rather unlikely.

You'd support a nation that butchers MCs? Seems a little Khamulist.

Not sure why you'd support a nation that you went to war with less than five years ago..?

[Inoroth]

Humph, ya'll have been having fun without me, and I disapprove

On a more serious note, there is a possibility that I will be going to a place without any internet access for 20 weeks (that's right, not days, weeks!), starting some time in mid January. Not 100% sure it'll happen, but I'm throwing this out early, because it'd be such a long absence.

Where you go? Siberia?

It's due to his colonial ambitions. Sri's territorial waters will expand to block off the mouth of the Vitus. That will box me into the Vitus. So, it would be rather preferable to gain his favor. Of course, if his expansion occurs after your war, I'll probably just do nothing, as I'd have no reason to interfere.

And if I send Khamulist missionaries? If you kill them, it would be hilariously ironic.

As I stated above, it isn't being done for religious purposes, but for strategic purposes. From Pavel VIII to Lord Federov, we are extremely secular. It's Pavel VII and Pavel X that are rabid Khamulists.

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

Wouldn't watching his face get beat in make your colonial aspirations more likely?

[Mishmahig]

Wouldn't watching his face get beat in make your colonial aspirations more likely?

It seems more likely that you'd join in, and as part of the treaty negotiations, demand free and unrestricted access in Vitusian waters.

[Pavlostani]

Wouldn't watching his face get beat in make your colonial aspirations more likely?

Perhaps, but I'd prefer to have more positive relationships with my neighbors. Sri might win the war against you guys alone, but I wouldn't reap any benefits. If I were to aid him, two possibilities:
We win and Sri comes to trust my people, resulting in peace and good will, and allows passage through his territorial waters.
We lose, Sri's territorial waters shrink, my people gain access to the world, and simply claim we were supporting an ally.

Another reason I'd probably support Sri is my people's disgust of Mishmahig and Inesea abandoning AMEN. My nation is a tad bitter about that.

Wait, I just realized. Sri is an ally, so I'd already have access through the Vitus. So my only real motivation to help him is that alliance. Either way, I still support him.

96 million against 14 million. Highly unlikely.

Trust is valuable, yes, but even with your intervention, it's 96 million against 54 million, and by your own admission, your nation is also going through periods of immense instability at this time.

We lose, Sri's territorial waters shrink, my people gain access to the world, and simply claim we were supporting an ally.

Oh no. If you do intervene, and we do defeat you, I can promise that the Dominion will not simply let you skate by. Most likely, we'll demand military restrictions, autonomy for your rebellious Islamic provinces, and a variety of other odds and ends, including the end to religious persecution. I mean, we wouldn't want to fight you, but we would if necessary.

Another reason I'd probably support Sri is my people's disgust of Mishmahig and Inesea abandoning AMEN. My nation is a tad bitter about that.

Mishmahig is equally bitter about Pavlostani diplomats backstabbing the unified front that AMEN was trying to put up at the SAW conferences.

Edit: Also, if you intervene, we can paint it as a war for religious tolerance and equality, which would also give us the moral high ground.

[Sri Tschow]

All this is based on the assumption that I'd lose. After the SAW, King Amano will begin heavily building the military, especially the weak points-that is, the army.

EDIT: Amano, damn you autocorrect.

I can deal with military restrictions. It may help me practice for when my nation disbands its military entirely. Autonomy to my Islamic provinces... by 1908 the Islamic provinces have been pacified and in 1909, the Ming Empire will be duly conquered. I do believe something I wrote on the wiki months ago just saved my ass. Either way, one might wonder why the MC Church would grant Khamulist states autonomy. Religious persecution... well we have laws against that in post-SAW Pavlostani, though I will admit that not everybody follows them.

Overall, I can't see consequences too negative.

All this is based on the assumption that I'd lose. After the SAW, King Amani will begin heavily building the military, especially the weak points-that is, the army.

And with support from Pavlostani, I doubt food riots will break out like last time.

Any one of the Compact Nations out numbers you.

Him combined with me?

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

Any two of the Compact Nations is equal with you, all three outnumber.

Size does matter mate. Bullets, Beans, Bodies, and Bandages.

Unless FIN walks in and decides to back Sri!

That's a the nightmare situation.

[Sri Tschow]

The effectiveness of one's military also plays a part in the outcome of a war.
And the FIN. I wouldn't have a problem with them helping, either.

[Pavlostani]

Any one of the Compact Nations out numbers you.

Unless FIN walks in and decides to back Sri!

We would be immensely grateful for your help... we might find some favors to do for you after the war.

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

I generally gauge possibility by the four Bs.
Bullets, Beans, Bodies, and Bandages.
Bullets- Weapons, Ammunition
Beans- Food and supplies
Bodies- Soldiers to fight
Bandages- Medical equipment to care for the soldiers who are injured, in order to have the maximum amount casualties be recycled back into the Army.

Then I'll have to be more inventive.

Your weak point last time was your nation starving after a month. Given that our nations managed to easily defeat your fleets and navies (despite Cyprum's valiant efforts to intervene by smashing Khamul), I doubt there will be different results this time.

And with support from Pavlostani, I doubt food riots will break out like last time.

And with our fleets cutting you off? I doubt your support will mean much if we sink every second or third ship you send.

Any one of the Compact Nations out numbers you.

Unless FIN walks in and decides to back Sri!

In which case, Ino and Fan will probably walk in and back us.

It's the joy of having a Cold War-esque style atmosphere.
