Anything going on out there?

Didn't NA come back?

[Bokaya]

Oh, yah.

[Old Erisia]

Oh, yah.

Soooo... Day of Infamy GOGOGO?

[Bokaya]

Possibly. I wouldn't mind a war with the Cong, provided no-one uses nukes.

[Old Erisia]

Heh, I don't really like that idea...

[Bokaya]

Yeah, but think about it. If we could persuede them not to just "DOGPILE!!!!", and if we ensue that no-one uses Nukes, I reckon it'd be quite a laugh. Even if it's completely non-cannon, just a "friendly" war RP. See what I mean?

[Neo-Sincostan]

Hmm, this place has changed quite a bit since I was last here. Just wondering...are socialist nations allowed to become members of the SP? Or are they classified as commies and banned too? Was just looking at your application form.

Socialists continue to be banned, as far as I know. It would entirely depend your definition of 'socialism'. I'm not authorized to accept applications, but if you had a free market, you might have a chance of getting in.

[Bokaya]

No, he wouldn't. If the Founder isn't about, I have total control of applications. Since I hate everything that's further left than Rand, if you practice any socialism whatsoever, you have a snowballs chance in hell of getting in.

That includes Nazis, incidently.

God, I love being me...

Define left. I'm very liberal about rights, meaning, abortion, gay marriage, drugs, etc. Some view it as left.

[Bokaya]

That ain't left, that's libertarian. Left is how I define it. At least, in the Steel Pact it is. And, at the moment, I say you ain't left! Bask in my benevolence...

[Legeonas]

[Bokaya]

Lulz.

[Agadar]

So apparantly Of the Quendi hates the Steel Pact with a burning passion (in character). Exactly what's the deal between these two entities? I heard there has been a war?

[Germonica]

I..........do not know.

I think that a bunch of the Steel Pact nations were part of this group called the quedisphere, which broke out in civil war, i think the Steel Pact being one of the factions...but I was not actual role-playing at this time, so I don't know if that's fact.

Here's how it goes:
If you remember Hayaba, you'll remember that he was constantly raising hell on II. He was also a member of the Quendisphere. Eventually, a bunch of nations decided to gang up on Hayaba and wipe him out, forcing Quendi to stand in Hayaba's defence. Eventually, the group of Hayaba-haters, some of whom were in the Steel Pact, decided to get the pact involved, and a huge war was set to go down when Quendi decided to become a Lyran protectorate in order to ensure the safety of the civilians in the Quendisphere, since a lot of the Pact nations were talking about wholesale genocide in Hayaba.

That sounds epic.

That makes me wonder, why did a talented roleplayer such as Of the Quendi allow such a... bad roleplayer in the Quendisphere? If I were him, I would have retconned Hayaba out of my group the moment he made a post as stupid and immature as every single post he has ever made.

[Germonica]

I've decided that I will make a factbook over the weekend.

[Cartavesqa]

Your signature assisted me on that one.

Not quite as epic as I tell it...

The origins of the War can be found early in the year 1497, when the small nation Sufforia began development of a biological weapons program, feeling threatened by her surrounding larger neighbors. To ensure that all was "above board" she announced it to the world. This turned out to be a big mistake. Several large powers, including the Federation of Allied Governments, The Empire of Ralkovia and the republic of Amazonian Beasts felt it nescessary to neuter the Sufforian project condemned it, threatening invasion if she did not give up her plans. The Steel Pact, a young alliance of Right - Wing nations, voted to defend the rights of Sufforia to develop any weapons she wished. Of course, they had ulterior motives, hoping to get Sufforia to join and thus swell their burgeoning members list. Bokaya sent a representative on behalf of the Pact to try to negotiate peace and disarm the situation. This failed, however, as Bokayans are naturally hot-headed and the ambassador, Bialar Taggart, had a rather peculiar idea of "negotiating for peace". To the untrained ear, it would sound as if he was threatening armed reprisal. Just as things started to look bad for Sufforia, the die was cast once and for all when Hayaba, with no declaration of intent, launched a nuclear strike on the Sufforian Capitol. The nations of the Steel Pact stood down, assuming that the other nations who were on Sufforias side would do the same. The business was concluded. Or was it..? Forgotten Americans, one of the nations that stood by Sufforia, took offence at the fact that such an obviously unstable nation could be in possession of atomic weapons and the capability to use them and, in due time, declared war on Hayaba. A coalition was formed for the invasion. Hayaba did not exactly have a clean track record. They had shown themselves to be unstable, untrustworthy and dangerous on a number of occasions. However, they were members of the Quendisphere, and that counted for something. The Quendi could not simply kick them out for their actions, as they would immeditely be pounced on by a coalition many times the size of the one already assembled. However, they could not simply force them to apologise, as this would make them lose face and appear divided. Hayaba cowered behind the protection of the mighty Quendisphere. The opposing coalition grew larger and larger, aided especially by the Steel Pact, seeing the coming war as yet another excuse to expand and absorb more territory. The more reluctant Pact states were quickly silenced by the two members who shouted the loudest: Natvia and Bokaya. War was inevitable.

The hugest confict in the span of human history; The Great Quendisphere War, was on...

Awesome, no?

...Except the war was never fought. To defend Hayaba, the Quendi surrendered control of the Quendisphere to Lyras. This plunged the whole Quendisphere into civil war, ending the conflict before it ever began...

The peace deal was brokered by Rumbria, a member of the Steel Pact. We are directly responsible for the downfall of the Quendisphere, and that's why the Quendi hates us.

[St George of England]

No, he wouldn't. If the Founder isn't about, I have total control of applications.

Err what?

Since I hate everything that's further left than Rand, if you practice any socialism whatsoever, you have a snowballs chance in hell of getting in.

I'll continue to accept as I see fit, thank you very much.

That includes Nazis, incidently.

Nazis are only left wing economically, and then, not that far.

God, I love being me...

Someone's got to.

[Bokaya]

No, he wouldn't. If the Founder isn't about, I have total control of applications.

Oh, hi, St. George!!! Yeah, all you other members who definitely don't suspect I lied a little bit, in the name of the Founder, I, in my benevolence, granted SGoE powers of acceptance, too! Aren't I benevolent?

Psst... just play along with it, George. I know, I know, I'm a dick. But hell, would you want me any other way?
