Currently, there's not much I can post about. Currently, I'm waiting on Voltus_Ventus, as well as possibly any other developments involving Zenovia.

My major plotline with the Moravian invasion of that little country has been stymied by @Willy Vereb's lack of posting. As was discussed way back, Moravia wants to get Yllendthyr to help them with it. They also did send diplomats over during my second post, so yeah.

Damn, was it really this long?
I've been busy with life coupled with participating in tournaments and getting a few RPs off the ground.
Since my last promise was sadly null I don't make a new one. I want to post by the weekend and let's hope I get to do it.

I think I owe everyone an apology, for not being a good GM and not being the most reliable roleplayer. So, I'm sorry, for everyone who put time into posting and spending time in the OOC, and I want to thank you guys for doing so. Again sorry.

But I'm here now and hopefully able to stay.

@ZB1996@Cyclone Alright, so I was thinking. How would you two feel if as group of DRA troops, specifically trolls, raided some the sparse coastal farm lands of Moravia? They would be dressed in garb associated with the Zenovian military. The plan is for this to create further instability in the region. On one hand by stressing the already thin relationship between native Zenovii and the troll immigrants and on the other by provoking the supporters of old Moravian imperialism into lobbying for war against Zenovia.

It would work. Moravians hate both trolls and Zenovia in general; they're just a gasoline can waiting for a spark.

Though keep in mind that there aren't really trolls in Moravia and racism mostly keeps it that way, so how they got inside and went about relatively undetected until they started burning stuff would be interesting.

If this does ever get linked back to the DRA I'd imagine it would be bad, with both of your neighbors seeing you as some sort of terrorist threat.

Para-trolls? Skinny trolls? Half-trolls? Pioneering surgically modified trolls?

@Cyclone Oh, they won't be infiltrating into the populace like that. I was thinking more along the lines of a Navy SEAL/Viet Cong get-in-get-out sorta thing.

Well, you have my approval. It would certainly heat things up. If the war starts soon because of this, I think I still should be able to blockade Moravia, considering their navy is almost non-existent as of yet.

I'm reading through your post, and I can't help but notice you have the numbers for footnotes but no actual footnotes.

In all likeliness, considering that the process of invading that other nation is secretly underway, the terror attacks would probably be blamed on those people instead which would provide a nice little casus belli, something that Moravia lacked.

I have a feeling that since it certainly is not in Zenovia interests to send over trolls for a terror attack, the blame would be attributed more to the PRK than anybody else. To avoid looking weak the Caesar would probably still be forced to use diplomatic pressure and thinly veiled threats to bully Zenovia (and the PRK if he can get away with it). This might be the chance for princess and her peace corps to shine.

@FacePunch I would have preferred it if you posted the NS in the OOC, and waited for approval before putting it in the NS tab but I guess I can live with it.

Ok, after reading it I have a few criticisms that I'd like to make, or rather things I want to point out. As a revolutionary force, with only two cities, how does your "nation" have control so many damn planes? Unless the elves stole 600 biplanes, 200 fighters, etc and flew them all the way to your land, I don't see how you've acquired them and if that's the case, the elves must hate you.

Another point, population, again, maybe it's because you didn't specify how much land you've taken by showing a map but I doubt two cities and the out lying areas are enough to feed the 20 something million inhabitants of the cities, especially with that growth you're projecting.

My apologies. I took @Mihndar's earlier comment as approval. I should have waited for you specifically. Meh bad. Let me address your concerns, however.

1. The planes are supposed to be donations taken from anonymous individuals over the past century. Most of them are quite old and ineffectual against modern aircraft, especially the biplanes. Although I must admit a thousand does seem a bit excessive for such a small force. How does three hundred sound? Keeping in mind that the majority will be out of date biplanes and such.

2. I'm not very knowledgeable on such things as population statistics and sustenance farming. The area controlled by the DRA is outlined here. That's the poorly drawn squiggly lines underneath Moravia. How would you feel if I dropped the population growth projection to 50,000 and said that the DRA relies heavily on imported food to survive? The food shortage would also make for a decent storyline outlining why the DRA has chosen now to begin attacking their neighbors instead of fifty years ago.
