The continental blockade (MT/INVITE ONLY/OOC)

[New Aeyariss]

IYF, ease. No need to get angry .

Ausitoria, can I please request ORBAT?

[Inyourfaceistan]

About 6000 km away from about an eighth of Ausitoria's fleet, at the moment. (The fleet is currently stationary; with CAPS at a radius of 3000 km - at minimum).

Bueno. Give me ORBAT so I will know what I will have to sink.

You are going down, "hero".

Watch out! He will attack you with "scatter missiles" and send a star destroyer to pwn you!

Seriously though, is this you trying to claim you managed to get a fleet in position that fast?

Over half a month? Easy. That's 20,000 km. How slowly do your ships travel?

Do I take it that you intend to attack an IFC member more than 5000 km away from Ardoki? That's a quarter of a hemisphere away.

[New Aeyariss]

Hadn't Ausitoria proclaimed that it will defend Ardoki?

And Ardokian delegate said that "you had declared war on Ardoki" - to me and several delegates.

We are likely already in state of limited war then. Correct me if I am wrong but Nihonese blockade is heading there no matter what IFC says.

[Libraria and Ausitoria]

We are likely already in state of limited war then.

Not unless you RP it.

[New Aeyariss]

It was already announced on the conference. If you want to wait until I dispatch Kaigun, I have no issues.

[Ardoki]

What do you guys want this RP to accomplish? I need to know now before we proceed.

Okay.

I don't care about winning or losing RPs. My only desire for an RP is to constructively develop my nation (in multiple areas, e.g. history, politics, culture, diplomatic situation, etc.); other nations are here to assist me in that while I assist them with their nation-building (well that's how I see RPing anyway). That's why I don't invade other countries, the effects of that don't really effect my nation and are not interesting (in my opinion).

So, before this RP commences I want the general outline (think of that as a plot or storyline) planned and finalised. As Ardoki is currently undergoing major reforms due to a leadership change, I would like this RP to directly tie into that theme (i.e. a nation moving towards liberal democracy and having to deal with the repercussions of past crimes).

I'm sure we can all discuss the best way to do this together.

However, my time is limited (even more so when I have to go back to university shortly). So starting something which will require a lot of time (both in writing posts and researching (e.g. all the necessary tactics, weapons, and strategies)), such as a war may not be the best option (if we want the RP to survive and not die due to inactivity). But I don't want to be a killjoy, but I have to let you know that (I only have time at the moment because I'm on holidays, but that will end soon).

Some form of limited warfare might be possible, but we will have to discuss and plan it first. I've wanted to have an insurgency in Aanglandia for quite a while, and now might be the time (I'm going to do it sooner or later). But otherwise, the blockade is probably as much as I can handle at the moment in addition to all the diplomatic and political stuff I'm dealing with.

[Ardoki]

Not unless you RP it.

It was already announced on the conference. If you want to wait until I dispatch Kaigun, I have no issues.

Our representative stated that a blockade of Ardoki would be akin to a declaration of war.

Just clarifying.

I may land on Thandissulin if you like.

[Inyourfaceistan]

After that hilarious sophomoric shit-show he posted against Ralk I'm not all too convinced an angry tarpon couldn't sink his navy...

And this attitude is why I refuse to have anything to do with you when I can avoid it.

Hey I'm not the one who posts crummy attacks that make no sense then expect people to fear the non-existent capabilities of my military...

Over half a month? Easy. That's 20,000 km. How slowly do your ships travel?

Not fast enough to get to a conflict before it even begins.

Unless you can pull some RP proof that demonstrates your forces were deploying to Ardoki over half a month ago, then that's what we call "metagame"...

[Libraria and Ausitoria]

I've been telling people for years that Ausitoria has ships on every ocean. Given that Ausitorian high command knew, since the start of the conference, how it was all going to go, they would have been mad not to have gathered a fleet. Therefore, in the interest of realism, the onus is on you to prove that Ausitoria wouldn't have gathered a fleet.

Not unless you RP it.

It was already announced on the conference. If you want to wait until I dispatch Kaigun, I have no issues.

What I mean is, I'm not about to OOCly agree that some unknown concept of 'limited war' (whatever that is) is going on ICly unless and until you RP it.

Great then, I already have 3 divisions in your capital just because I can make random dick-waving claims OOC.

The burden of proof is on you to prove that I'm not just full of crap and making stupid claims that benefit me with no real reason or evidence.

/sarc.

[Inyourfaceistan]

Cusc,

A certain someone has shown up, and this has already devolved into an argument thread...

Does he really need to be here?

That's easy. Your statement is unrealistic. How did you get passed Ausitorian defences? Impossible.

QED.

Your go.

[Libraria and Ausitoria]

If you have any realistic objections or reasons, I'm quite happy to hear them out.



But I suspect you don't.

[New Aeyariss]

Wikipedia does not agree on total with what is written in publications of National Defense Academy of Republic of Poland though. We will be fighting over who gets domination of this area without total escalation.

That's easy. Your statement is unrealistic. How did you get passed Ausitorian defences? Impossible.

I take this as "yes" on Southern Furukuran sea?

And IYF, give him a chance. He may keep carrier on every sea. Bigger hunt for us .

I've merged Thuas... and Aanglandia for several reasons, though mainly because I can't spell and pronounce the name. I traced the nice map IYF drew (thanks IYF) and have used it for Aanglandia (because I needed to do something quickly a while ago, and didn't have time to draw a map of Aanglandia).

So you can land on one of the islands which makes up Aanglandia, and work with the insurgents there. What happens next, will be discussed (though I might want to draw it out for quite a while, as an insurgency would be interesting (especially the domestic political reactions to it)).

Here is a map of Ardoki map. Here is where you can initially land (highlighted in red): https://i.imgur.com/7HIiGqG.png

How'd you manage to put together and sail a fleet from Ausitoria in a matter of hours?

Sorry, I'm just of the opinion that the burden of proof is not there either.

[Inyourfaceistan]

That's easy. Your statement is unrealistic. How did you get passed Ausitorian defences? Impossible.

Not impossible. It's something that needs to be RP'ed upon though.

Kind of like magically warping fleets wherever you need them at that moment.

Of course you also seem to think giant space cruisers are realistic, so maybe warping devices on your ships ins't too far out of your imagination.

If you have any realistic objections or reasons, I'm quite happy to hear them out.

Because every thread you join either becomes about how fucking awesome and powerful you supposedly are, or a non-stop argument about how you aren't.

You haven't we've been posting on this thread a full hour and you are already pretending you can somehow scare us off our decision and already claimed you can just summon fleets wherever you want whenever you want and sourced your own ego as proof.

So really, are you here because you want to RP, and you want to cooperatively play out a story or are you here yet again to play out your own little fantasies of grandeur that come as a result of your chronic short man syndrome?

Either way this thread was fine before you showed up...

Do not worry. Nobody cares about concept of "logistics" or "maintenance". They are foreign when we can have 3km long spaceship out there... Which would have been taken by every single BVRAAM Imperial Nihonese Air Force uses.

No. The burden here is on you to prove you have a fleet there; you provide posts proving it - Ardoki even clarified the war point, so that's not at question anymore. To put it simply, you don't have a fleet in every ocean in the world because you want to; im a living testimony to why you don't have a fleet in every ocean. The burden of proof relies on who RP'ed it since that would be written down - it's pure bullshit metagaming to simply claim "I have fleets on all oceans! I can attack you at any time! Fear me!" Im sure you know that, I know that, and everyone else here likely knows that too. Or would you rather we summon the RP Mentor team again to mediate/explain to you about the term intellectual property?

Oh, really?

...not if we don't want our mutual allies in the IFC to find themselves faced with the choice between resigning from the coalition or coming to the defence of several IFC allies who have been savagely attacked while supporting official IFC investigations in Ardoki...

(Mutual Allies! Stop Cuscy! He's gone mad! He's attacking IFC members! He's trying to destroy the IFC!)

And Ausitoria doesn't want that. That's why they're using diplomacy. Now are you very very very sure you want the Nihonese Empire to launch a simultaneous premeditated attack on a peaceful IFC investigation while diplomacy is still underway, in a day that will live in infamy?

That's easy. Your statement is unrealistic. How did you get passed Ausitorian defences? Impossible.

QED.

Your go.

I didn't. Ausitoria has been gathering its forces for over a week. When you know that war might start, you take elementary precautions - particularly if you have a well developed (and ultra-paranoid) bureaucracy.

Actually fleet on Southern Furukuran Sea wouldn't have been that much of an issue though. It would have been overwhelmed in minutes Lord's willing, but who cares about how much logistics of keeping 50km 20 000 km+ from your shore...

Though, after I seen destroying tropedoes with a sonar blast - I can accept anything.

[Ardoki]

Okay everyone, let's not destroy this thread.

I've been talking with L&A for a while (I can't remember exactly how long for, but it's been a while). I think it is okay to assume during that period his country may have moved forces close to Ardoki (as we were talking about this, we just didn't write it down ICly).

[New Aeyariss]

Oh, really?

...not if we don't want our mutual allies in the IFC to find themselves faced with the choice between resigning from the coalition or coming to the defence of several IFC allies who have been savagely attacked while supporting official IFC investigations in Ardoki...

Fame isn't my best thing on NS. And I think your allies already chosen mostly. Apart from the fact that sole Kaigun's operation is aimed at securing those responsible or genocide - thus limited war and why I won't go for Ausitorian assets elsewhere.
