Hi,
I am playing with the thought of getting involved, most likely (read: Definately) with the High Kingdom, my FanT-Canon. But first, a couple of questions:

1. Does Hogwarts exist and can we bomb it into rubble?
2. What is the local policy on WMDs? And while we are at it, what are the rules?
3. What is the rest of Europe, and maybe even the US and the rest of the Commonwealth, thinking about this?
4. Who is fighting for what exactly? And who are the leaders?
5. Who is arming the "Various Scottish and Welsh militias"?
6. What is the situation at the onset of the Civil War?

Thank you for any answer.

mfg,
Selks

interesting.

1. Does Hogwarts exist and can we bomb it into rubble?

Not Hogwarts, there are two similar schools,
Evola International School (which also teaches philosophy, the wizardry lessons being secret) and another school, John of Nottingham School, governed by Avery of Tewkesbury (the only school openly teaching wizardry, a legal grey area as it claims to operate on behalf of the crown, being technically a highly selective state school).
Bombing John of Nottingham school would lead to various curses and air-strikes.
Then if you didn’t pay reparations and a new government wasn’t in power, you’d be nuked.

2. What is the local policy on WMDs? And while we are at it, what are the rules?

ICly Britain has WMDs,
I haven’t decided all the rules yet.

3. What is the rest of Europe, and maybe even the US and the rest of the Commonwealth, thinking about this?

America has sent spies as its currently unsure which side to back.
Almost all of Europe support the Parliamentarians but Monaco supports the monarchists as does the Caliphate (which includes Bosnia) and Russia.

4. Who is fighting for what exactly? And who are the leaders?

Parliamentarians are fighting for Parliament to be indisputably in charge. The general view is that Prince William will be appointed as a Swedish style monarch both legally and in practice, almost half of them want a Republic though whether the president should be executive or purely ceremonial is debated amongst these.
The Scots and Welsh are fighting independence and the IRA are fighting for a United Ireland.
The parliamentarians are lead politically by Rishi Sunak and militarily by Henry De Ritter, head of the Royal Dragoon Guards.

The monarchists are lead politically by King Charles III and militarily by General-Sir Nick Perry.

The strategic leaders of the IRA factions have not yet announced their real names but are expected to do so soon.

The political leadership of the Scottish and Welsh nationalists is the same as the IRL political parties whilst the military leadership is by hitherto unknown outdoorsmen conducting a guerrilla operation.

5. Who is arming the "Various Scottish and Welsh militias"?

The IRA and, on a purely mercenary basis, certain organised crime groups.
The Chinese Communist Party are financing them.

6. What is the situation at the onset of the Civil War?

Most metropolitan areas of England are under monarchist control along with Edinburgh and rural areas in Yorkshire and the west of England.
Most areas of Wales are under nationalist control as is Glasgow.
Northern Ireland is currently under monarchist control in Belfast but Irish Republican Army control is sweeping across Derry.

Parliamentarians are controlling most of the south-east and some white working-class areas in the north east

interesting

Thank you.

Thank you for the answers. I look forward to an update on the rules, but before that, I'd would just like to note, that you can't curse someone, when you were napalmed. ; )

Hi, hello,
The Fantasy tech Caliphate (I presume another puppet of yours, Azad?), three things:
1. My girls haven't even taken off.
2. Even if we handwave it to "Okay, they took off and are cruising at altitude an altitude of 15,000 feet above the North Atlantic, north of the islands of Sula Sgeir, North Rona and Sule Skerry", how did your jinns detect and engage them? And avoided detection for long enough to come into combat range with what essentially amounts to the drone version of a Hawkeye?
3. What are jinns and what can they do? EDIT: And how many are attacking my girls?

Thanks.

Thanks. Still, the question remains: What are jinns and what can they do?

IC: Jinns are made of energy, they travel faster than humans and cannot be summonsed by ordinary humans (but can be by some including all witches and wizards, one person who can summon jinns and, rarer still, capture them them is Caliph Bakir)

They have strength far greater than the average human and can set things alight.

They can be good or evil and can live for thousands of years but are not immortal, they can be killed by highly skilled magic users and/ other jinns.

Like humans, they have differing political allegiances so there’d probably be some on your side if you have witches.

They are very intelligent but, on account of their longevity, takes about 100 year to cognitively mature into adult jinns.

Oh, and they can shapeshift.

Interesting, thank you. A few questions in regards to that:
"Can travel faster then humans" - how fast?
"they can be killed by highly skilled magic users and/ other jinns." - no other options are available? Like, for instance, shoving an AMRAAM down their gullet?
"they can shapeshift" - what exactly does that mean? Can they make it so they look human or are they limited to inanimate objects? If I step onto their toes, does that displess the shapeshift? If they transform into, say, a bird, can they fly?

> they can be killed by highly skilled magic users and/ other jinns

i see

"Can travel faster then humans" - how fast?

An average speed of 2,400 square feet in five minutes.
But, like I said, your side can summon them too since you’ve got witches and there are rival factions amongst them.

"they can be killed by highly skilled magic users and/ other jinns." - no other options are available? Like, for instance, shoving an AMRAAM down their gullet?

No other options for killing them but exorcists can render them temporarily harmless.

"they can shapeshift" - what exactly does that mean? Can they make it so they look human or are they limited to inanimate objects? If I step onto their toes, does that displess the shapeshift? If they transform into, say, a bird, can they fly?

They can shapeshift into humans or birds. They can fly in their normal state.

...square feet is a measure of area, not distance.
But anyway, thank you for the answers.
I'll now hope to confuse Jinns by use of the mightiest unit in the Arsenal of the Muster of Ships and their mightiest weapon: The Air Ballet of the Naval Aviation, dancing the Can Can, complete with flying legs.
