I don't particularly have an interest in being a co-op if I'm honest.

The good thing about the Imperium is that, if the Empire of Man ever collapses (or if her wars go so badly that she is greatly weakened), we still have the Imperium as a primo existential threat.

Zarhad would never risk her delicate position in the realm, for a realm she does not trade with. An idea of going to war with t EoM, would be all or nothing, and you could not be trusted to give the all. You border the EoM, and that is seen a weak point to us. You would need to come to us and strike the best damn deal of your life.

Of course, Zarhad would never risk itself exclusively for Taniar per se (though I rather thought there would be some level of trade between us, even if not officially 'state-sanctioned'), but what of this little deal you and Xie are working on? If the EoM were to take control of the Tani lands that form the choke-point of the Cut, then how will your Elvish and Dwarven merchants get to the Dai-Shie Empire? They couldn't pass through the waterway, or through Gunrado (even if they could somehow, they would then have to take the roads through Taniar or travel through the dangerous, roadless Troll Territories). Perhaps they might make it through Korrss, if he's willing, but then they'd have to load their ships in Zarhad, land them in Korrssi ports, move by caravan on roads admitted by their owners as not ideal, and then reembark on new ships to get to Dai-Shie -- certainly a costly endeavor, if not outright economically unfeasible. The problem would also exist for realms beyond Xie's (not too many atm, but still).

Secondly, a Tani diplomat would try to make a 'one neutral nation threatened and all neutral nations are in peril' type case, arguing that, when and if Taniar is conquered and pacified by the EoM (be it in ten, twenty, or even fifty years down the road), what stands to prevent the next neutral realm from falling? What when the Dwarves are forced from their homes or ground to dust by the Hordes of Zelbe? What when Carsepolis and Taniar are brought to heel, keeping all but men from passing through the Cut, all the while their navies greatly enhancing the Empire's power? What when the Dai-Shie and the Korrss are overrun, and become pools from which the EoM can easily draw tens of thousands of experienced spears and horsemen from their populous lands? How long could the Union of Zarhad stand against the combined might of the know world? What good is a defensive channel when the Empire has hundreds of ships? What good are fifty-thousand soldiers when the Empire can call up and loose two-hundred-thousand without batting an eye?

That would be how a Tani negotiator might try to convince Zarhad to aid them.

The Dark Lord will rise again!

I can't help but read that in a Southern U.S. accent, and replace the 'Dark Lord' with 'South'

@JVP, is it bad I know and have watched the Kdrama your pic is from?

And they would most likely be met with some harsh words. Seeing as your statement could be seen as a threat.

The Zarhadian leadership does not want to see the empire take control of the cut. You also speak of a realm (Zelbe) That They would have no contact with, so why would they care?

Shie sent someone to inquire about trade, and used it as way to bring about the matter with the empire. Maybe if you attempt that small thing as sending a diplomat, maybe aid will come your way. But till shie came about, Zarhad only traded to ports in Korrss. Seeing as they can take a safer route to their ports and stay out of the waters close to the empire.

Also Zarhad does not respond well to scare tactics.

@JVP, is it bad I know and have watched the Kdrama your pic is from?

Hell no. Just makes you 100% cooler in my book. My Prince is named after Prince Lee Gak from Roof Top Prince.

In fact, all of the names of the princes come from that show.

But.....that pic's from Moon Embracing the Sun. Unless only the name's are of Roof Top Prince.

Yea. Only the names. Is really hard to find a good image of a male hanbok in the style I want... that kind of Bad boy (I'm warrior prince that all the girls like) style. Most are just the super fancy ones. and those are super heavy to walk around in.

Image of Prince Lee Gak comes from Arang and the Magistrate

Ah well, that's why IC is fun -- let's you play out these sorts of things

UPDATE TO RULES:

PURPOSE: TO DEFINE THE ROLES OF ADMINS AND CO-OPS

Literature:

"11. The staff shall consist of 1-2 Admins, and 1-2 Co-Ops. The Admins shall be the holders of the Forgotten Eon password and make official edits to all official OPs and posts. Admins will have the power to ban or remove players from the game. Admins will be the final word on any decision of importance. Approve player applications. Admins will also hold all the duties that a Co-Op holds.
-11.1: Co-Ops shall moderate disputes between players both in IC and OOC. Conduct edits on the request of the admins (code to be sent to admin via telegram for admin to proof and input. Warn players who break any rules. Review applications and give advice. Host and administer official IC RPs. "

ALSO ANOUNCEMENT:

I will be gone for 3 weeks here as of Saturday for a official commitment. I will have limited access to internet IE: my iPhone. I have set up my position in the IC thread to be able to assign command of imperial armies to several of my vassal commanders, so the impact will be minimal. I will prob be able to post very short IC posts to aid in the RP but it won't be my best since its on an iPhone. I will have an IC post up soon with my Emperor commanding my generals to take men to the cut area.

Like I said I will be able to hop on via my phone. So I won't be gone completely. But i will say this RESPECT THE CO-OPS. Both Nuclear Fist whom I have appointed, and Xie who you all have elected.

btw congrats Xie on being elected the second Co-Op I'll telegram you with some intent here soon. Both of you review your role and responsibly as outlined by rule 11 and 11.1.

Thanks guys.

Akasha is interested in joining the thread; he was in a couple of the old Lost Age threads. Considering he's a regular contributor of good material in the various military realism consultation threads and given his posts in the past, I think it'd be awesome if he could rejoin us. After all, FE has lost a few people and it would be great to have another competent player.
