I just realized that you can't speak a single time in this thread without bringing my inability to post up

Patience, my friends, patience...I'm not happy about it either. RPing is my favorite hobby, and I've been rendered incapable of doing so for the past week.

Shut up, you bipolar squid

Still waiting on Skepic and/or Willy and/or Raijinslayer. I'd positively love to post, but that's a roadblock right there.

Hey, Voltus, want to do some interaction?

Your last post in that council talk has nothing I can use so you are pretty much waiting for @Skepic here.
If it's an issue we can detail other events like posible further attacks in Zanshir.
I also have a subplot to tell in a post which I have been delaying for over a week now.

@Willy Vereb

How would the elves respond to Tin sending over a few more hordes to the islands? Would they see elevated military presence and then immediately go to war?

Nobody would "just" go into war for that.
They would raise their alert level and perhaps even ask for reinforcements.
Given the talks with Avalia and PRK I think they might even see that as a good excuse for making the preparations for war, though.
Zanshir currently has about a hundred thousand soldiers, unusually high for a colony/province but given the presence of vaguely hostile elements it was a well-founded precaution.
Still, if Yllendthyr ever wishes to fight Tin they need far more than that.

@Willy Vereb

I figured as much; since I was going to do it in my next post I just wanted to be sure.

I plan to escalate with the following orders of events:

1) Hundreds of thousands of additional soldiers sent (happening right now)

2) Crackdown on terrorism and native uprisings that is already beginning. Really bad human rights violations which the PRK insurgents or any Yllendthyr spies could easily see, document, and share with the rest of the world.

3) Tin closing that strait and enacting the embargos on the north, likely going to be a direct result of this meeting.

4) Waves of refugees fleeing to the Yllendthyr side, followed by Tin moving a large force to the borders to stop them.

5) Tin denies any accusations of human rights violations and such from other nations, and once again accuses Yllendthyr of terrorism but this time to the entire world. In addition, they claim that their military presence on the borders is because Yllendthyr is so awful that hordes of refugees are fleeing to the Tinite side of the island, and Tin doesn't yet have the resources over there to "save" them.

6) Tin formally severs all foreign ties to Yllendthyr in a spectacular fashion, as we briefly discussed in our PMs.

7) ???

8) Tin begins to occupy some of the smaller uninhabited or barely populated islands that Yllendthyr claims. (These are too small to be on the map; I'm taking the liberty of assuming that there are tons of little keys and atolls with 0-250 people on them)

9) ???

10) If Yllendthyr hasn't attacked yet, Tin will.

I'm open to any suggestions for additional stuff but that's my plan. The question marks are places where Tin's response depends largely on how the world reacts.

And Ventium will establish The World Congress in response to rapidly increasing tensions in the geopolitical landscape of Osetia.

@Voltus_Ventus

Is this going to actually maintain neutrality and support peace, or just support Tin and their makeshift alliance by being biased and demonizing Yllendthyr? The Sultanate's regime would likely be more than a bit angry if it's the former. Similar to KalMea, they have a pretty black and white ideology when it comes to who is an enemy and who is a friend.

11. PRK invades, you guys lose, the People's Republic of Zanjir is made a satellite state liberated from imperialist oppression.

I would try some interaction with Voltus, but I honestly don't have any ideas about how that would work or what even we would talk about. We're very different nations.

I could do some more stuff in Zanjir, yes. Hmm... I will have to think on that. Expect a post relating to that and with some more glimpses of life inside Kataylabinsk to fill up the remaining space either today or tomorrow. I'm well and truly invested in the world we've created here, and I would like to continue it.

Also, we should open up to new players. Like, really. Sell off the remaining space and threaten people who haven't posted in a very long time (@Murtox, @Raijinslayer) with their stuff being taken as well. We need some tough love or this RP is going to stagnate and die. Alfhedil and hivekiller exempted, they are actually genuinely away and haven't said anything on the forum for a month.

Also, Willy, you haven't responded to @thegreenleafe yet. You could do that in a very short post.

And Ventium will establish The World Congress in response to rapidly increasing tensions in the geopolitical landscape of Osetia.

I vote it be called the World Assembly. Congress sounds too much like it has real power.

You seem to have had a typo, I think you meant to say, "Half the world invades, ISIS Tin burns them all!"

In all seriousness though, your thoughts about selling the land is seconded. And edit the title to stop saying that we aren't acceping.

Shameless advertisement. This RP doesn't look dead mihndar.

The second to last IC post was like... ten days ago.

KalMea plans to escalate tension with the following events:

1) Agree with Tin

2) Sell everyone weapons

So? Some RPs are only posted in once a week or once a month. They can last for years like that, as long as people keep showing up every now and then.

Still alot of ooc activity though.

Also, playerwise, who is still here because your map is pretty full.

If I were to join, I might just overthrow an existing stale nation. GM permitting, Ofcourse.

In all fairness I said "so it doesn't die".

Fair enough.

Regardless, if there's room for another active player, I'm more than happy to usurp an existing nation as to not ruin the flow (that much.)

There is still some blank space on the map actually.

Using an existing nation enables some potentially fun plotlines.

Not really in a position to beg nor choose so ill just stick with my previous desire to usurp an existing abandoned nation.

I suppose we're just waiting for Voltus then.

I sent Voltus a PM. Hopefully I can get accepted!
