Earth II [Main Thread | OOC | Open RP]

[Layarteb]

HAHAHAHAHHAAHHA Gotham is NYC my ass. NYC would have to actually be cool to be Gotham or, rather, worth saving...

Take it up with Bob Kane and Bill Finger man. They disagreed.

So I'm going to claim Austria and Hungary, I finally decided. So again, if this acceptable, I'll do the thread.

Sure - just make sure you recognize Lacoze.

[Brydog]

i will

[RomeW]

If you and WA are close to a private agreement then yes don't reply "YES" to the above post of mine. Since the arrangement is contingent upon both of you starting an RP - everyone will note that they are to hold as well until both parties commence. In that case - I will start the timers when both parties agree/disagree. Mind you this doesn't mean ignore (which I don't see either of you doing). Please also work out the deal as quickly as possible to avoid it lagging out there - I know everyone is anxious to get going on all sides.

I've left Western Averi with a proposal, sent at 4PM this afternoon, so we'll see how that goes.

As far as Gotham and Batman - Gotham is NYC - down with Turkey!

LOL. I know, that's how it's "supposed" to be...but...if we invoke the "Literary Agent Hypothesis" and assume that the comics were inspired by real events, it might not be a stretch to assume the comic writers heard of this strange guy in Turkey and decided to write about him...only transplanting him to New York in order for the comic to be a better "sell". For what it's worth, the Turkish city- in RL- is an industrial town, perfect for the grimy setting Gotham City always is.

In any case, no matter where any of this goes...I'm invoking the Dark Knight somewhere in my stories...seeing "Batman, Turkey" makes it too hard for me to resist.

[Layarteb]

Yeah no but have at it.

Der Emperor is watching.

[Byzantium Imperium]

I still need WC rosters from the following:

-Banjamos
-Byzantium
-Dalmasce
-Italian Mafias
-Klievan
-Novacron
-Olmeria
-Rome
-Urbov

No can do for you, Brink, I'm busy couping my government and getting ready for a shortish but bloody civil war.

I was under the impression that Lacoze/notEU was extremely stable.

[Layarteb]

It is - the only wild card would be if the SBC started acting up.

So I'm going to claim Austria and Hungary, I finally decided. So again, if this acceptable, I'll do the thread.

Just as a note, the Kingdom of Holland shall officially be contesting that claim to Austria. Additionally, I'll also be claiming the following:

Poland(West Pomeranian, Pomeranian, Warmian-Masurianm), Czech Republic (Plzeň, Ústí nad Labem, Karlovy Vary, Prague, Central Bohemia, South Bohemia)

Depending on Brydog's wishes, I can do them in his thread where he's claiming Austria

It would have to be done in his thread since he has the primary claim and the claiming of territories he has already established can only be awarded at the outcome of the RP.

Copy that Baseplate.

[Terra Reborn]

So whilst everyone else seems to be adding claims, I'll break the pattern (although to be fair I am only doing it to claim land in North America...), I'm relinquishing my claim on Portugal (with the pre-made state posted below to be its current-state).

• Nation Name: The Republic of Portugal
• Demonym: Portuguese
• Capital: Lisbon
• Independence or Founding Date: 1 February, 2014 (from Imperial Occupation)
• Population: 10,500,000
• Official Language(s): Portuguese

• Official Religion: No official

• Time Zone(s): UTC

  • Chemical: No
  • Biological: No
  • Radiological: No

• Territories
  
  • Portugal
• Economic Rating: Average
• Military Rating: Weak
• Political Rating: Average
• Summary: The Republic of Portugal is a democratic nation that was formed following the Apilonian Invasion of Portugal (after aggression by the tyrannical former government). The Republic’s government is heavily supported by the Apilonian Empire and it’s constitution limits its ability to operate an offensive military. In addition the Apilonian Empire retains a standing Naval presence at Lisbon Naval Base. With the establishment of this Republic however the Apilonians hope that the Portuguese can govern themselves again. The Republic is average in most areas, as a result of its occupation, but is militarily weak due to its general disarmament by the Apilonian Empire, and as such is largely reliant on its larger protector (to whom it is largely reliant for military protection and economic stability).
  
• History
  
  • September 10, 2012: [Terra Reborn, Portugal] Following the Imperial Invasion brought upon by the aggressive state-sponsored terrorism campaign perpetuated by Portugal, the Government of Portugal formally surrenders to the Apilonian Empire as Imperial Divisions close on Lisbon.
  • January 1, 2013: [Terra Reborn, Portugal] His Majesty King Walker visits Lisbon and declares to the not-to-pleased crowd that he intends to restore Portugal to the people and that the Empire has no interest in retaining control of Portugal in the long-term. This is met by loud approval and reports of attacks or violence against Imperial Occupation Force Patrols, who for the most part of conducted themselves professionally, dramatically decline.
  • September 10, 2013: [Terra Reborn, Portugal] On the anniversary of the Portuguese Surrender the first free elections in Portugal for a long time.
  • February 1, 2014: [Terra Reborn, Portugal] William Dubaku, Duke of Sierra Leone (the highest ranking Imperial noble in Europe), serving as representative of His Majesty, formally hands control of Portugal back to its duly-elected government in a lavish ceremony in Lisbon, which sees the hauling down of the Imperial Flag over the Capital building, and its re-flying over the newly-established Imperial Embassy.

[Brydog]

Since IM wants Austria, I will drop the claim.

[Itailian Maifias]

I'll be pursuing those Polish and Czech claims.

[Layarteb]

Oh noez!

[Cotland]

I'll be pursuing those Polish and Czech claims.

And I'll be contesting those Polish claims.




Git off my lawn!

[Layarteb]

Lawl!

IM vs. Brydog vs. Cotland
Cotland vs. IM vs. Brydog

European barbarians.

Planning on having my own eternally protracted claim thread concluded in the next couple of weeks, then I can start causing some more trouble in the neighborhood.

[Brydog]

And the bad news, I'm dropping the Hungary claim, so we need to talk this one out. Sorry, but I decided not to repeat a mistake I usually make.

Ok, now I will explain, I can't figure out a way to make the claim work, so decided to drop it instead of doing a rp I will not enjoy.

[Layarteb]

Such amateurs. You don't need justification. YOU DROP THE BOMBS AND THAT'S THAT!

[Layarteb]

Well Urbov deat'd again...

Now that it's February I ought to do another update. Fair warning if you're threads are in violating of posting requirements.

[Cotland]

Hey guys. Just to let ya all know... I'm currently at 11000 feet and surfin' the web. That is all.

[RomeW]

Hey guys. Just to let ya all know... I'm currently at 11000 feet and surfin' the web. That is all.

Show off.

[Cotland]

For the record, that was altitude, not depth in case someone was wondering...

[Byzantium Imperium]

Post is up later tonight or tomorrow at latest. I apologize for the delays.
