The continental blockade (MT/INVITE ONLY/OOC)

[Inyourfaceistan]

Well I am going to go ahead and deploy my ships, because it's not fair we loose initiative IC just because there is OOC mess.

I would have had the carrier force headed for Ardoki long before I even posted that last attempt at a peaceful resolution if I had the chance...

It would take some time for forces to mobilize and be deployed so no rush Ardoki.

I figure the best play would just be to pull an existing patrol, have it dock at a friendly port, resupply and rearm and move out from there.

Also I may or may not switch one of those Mirage Class SSGN in my ORBAT to an SSBN given recent info...

Of course Ardoki could always just agree to my resolution and end my involvement in the blockade right then and there...

We have.

We are just handing them over to an international tribunal for trial, your country is not the only one who has an interest in seeing justice served.

That wasn't my ultimatum.

Handing them over to the IFC gives us no reason to return your POW's or call off our involvement in the blockade...

[Ardoki]

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

[Inyourfaceistan]

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

I don't know, it depends really.

Like I said my involvement could be cut out just by giving me 15-20 top war criminals in exchange for the return of 60 PoW's and the end of my involvement in the blockade.

At the same time independence for Aanglandia and that island chain that begins with a Th could also get me off your back.

Or just try beating us off...

Nothing. Considering I took a risk and played diplomacy (I am much better at war and science), it's kind of pointless to let justice fall into the hands of those with ulterior motives if I get nothing in return...

In fact if they were to be turned over to me, I would send most of them off to an international court comprised of nations I feel to be unbiased. Others I would just publically humiliate then send home (Jakeman and Slaone specifically) without any trial or punishment...

OOCly? I don't really have anything in mind.

ICly, I'd expect Quinn would probably want to ensure peace. She'd want to have the war criminals tried, for one. Aanglandia's independence is another.

I'm actually expecting SACTO sending feelers to the Imperial Court to ask for Ganosia's help, if only because I suppose, if nothing else, I can build relations with the Nihonese and Inyurs, and give Cus a chance to flesh out his Nihonese diaspora in Ganosia. There's a certain joy to be found in the novelty of a Nihonese Christian praying for the health and well being of a pro-gay, pro-euthanasia, pro-choice empress.

Silvester Jakeman is actually completely innocent. He was only put into power this year, as a puppet ruler over and Aanglandia and to make Ardokians like Aanglandians more.

I'm willing to come to some sort of agreement. Would you be fine with the SACTO jointly holding the trials alongside the IFC?

[Ganos Lao]

Why not have a Ganosian judge head a team of SACTO and IFC judges from the other nations? That could work to assuage your concerns.

[New Aeyariss]

Oh and by the way. I would request that participants of this thread do not spam with "50 carrier groups".

Let's keep it nice, organized and well RPed.

Sure.

I'm fine with that.

Why do you think I said I wouldn't punish him?

SACTO and the IFC, or SACTO members and IFC members + Ganos?

Because I was personally planning on getting Guadalupador, Flardania, Nihon, Myself, Shaz, OS and probably Ganos and Hatay to jointly hold the tribunal.

There's a certain joy to be found in the novelty of a Nihonese Christian praying for the health and well being of a pro-gay, pro-euthanasia, pro-choice empress.

A good Christian prays for all, especially his/her enemies.

A good Duvalierist wishes death on all monarch/imperial scum!

On SACTO chat I earned the nickname "Robespierre" (one of many nicknames) and the catch phrase "hide your royals!"

[Libraria and Ausitoria]

...No...

[Inyourfaceistan]

Any thoughts on my most recent post? Anything?

Also, Ardoki how far away is your nation from anything else?

Don't worry. Grim reaper is coming for your navy.

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).

[Inyourfaceistan]

...No...

Don't worry. Grim reaper is coming for your navy.

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

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

You are going down, "hero".

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