Stilistra Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Stilistra had only one territory and almost a billion folks, and I'm thinking of expanding into area #28. I think that the population problem could be justification for a forceful annexation to be rp'ed. Question is, would anyone want to share my tiffle? It could resolve into a diplomatic work or a slightly more violent event, either way I'm going to expand and I wonder if anyone else would like to play? Link to comment
Damak Var Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) If it is going to be armed conflict, Varian mercenary companies will assist for payment and establishment of a Varian military base along the river. A permanent base. Edited January 23, 2007 by BlackJackEmperor (see edit history) Link to comment
Deltannia Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Sure, why not. With the other idea kind of in limbo, maybe I'll get to flex some muscle, one way or the other. It's kind of hard in that area, to get involved, but maybe the rivers will help (Deltannia has river gunboats, not too much used. Maybe we'll get to see some?) Link to comment
Ide Jima Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 The Ide Jiman Military is always up for air strike against unarmed targets. Link to comment
Akiiryu Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Just be aware fellas, the SPA will be watching its borders and, indeed, its interests like a hawk. You don't want to piss off the SPA Link to comment
Stilistra Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 Akiiryu: No worries, we'll be heading in the other direction. It's nice to see some folks are interested. Whose side would you folks be on? Link to comment
Ide Jima Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I guess I'd probably be on your side, not really large scale support, just somewhere for the IJAF to try out some new weaponry Like the German Condor Legion in the spanish civil war. Link to comment
Damak Var Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 your side, Varian mercenary companies will do the ground fighting. While our navy can do some ship to shore bombardments. Link to comment
Stilistra Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 Wonderful... I suppose it would be time to start a thread, then. Link to comment
Akiiryu Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I hope you all consider what the SPA's likely reaction is going to be to a whole lot of military units running around near its border...Keep in mind spheres of influence and all! Espeically you IJ, especially you...allies should consult! The others, well, just keep in mind Akiiryu's military is already mobilised... Link to comment
Stilistra Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 We have no intention of crossing the border, or even getting close. Link to comment
Akiiryu Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 It's not a matter of how close you get to the border... Link to comment
Vocenae Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 It's just that there's a large chunk of regional superpowers very close to where you are expanding. The SPA is a nation at war, and having a multinational conflict spring up right next to it is going to put it on high alert. It's a realistic move that any real nation today would do. The Imperial Republic will also be watching this conflict with a passive interest, as it does all conflicts above Plot #48. So your are not going to get invaded by the SPA, it's just going to be like you have a giant microscope over Plot #28, with your every move watched. Link to comment

I might also add your first attempt to placate the SPA has only resulted in making it suspicious... Link to comment
Tagmatium Rules Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Tagmatium will, of course, be watching events with interests. Especially as those foul Ide Jimans are there. Link to comment
Ide Jima Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 We're not that bad, not once you've tried the noodles. Link to comment
Tagmatium Rules Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 We've had them, and they were too salty. Link to comment
Tagmatium Rules Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I think Tagmatine interest will be limited to just intelligence operatives observing what's going on. Would that be ok? I'm not quite sure how to go about it, to be honest, but I might give it a shot anyway. Link to comment
Akiiryu Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 S, Man, oh man, does your government needs to go back to diplomacy school! At the moment you're only making the SPA more and more suspicous! Link to comment
Stilistra Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Cass isn't very articulate, I guess that's a compliment... Link to comment
Akiiryu Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Ummm; you've just declared war for no good reason (you need excuses other countries are going to stomach) otherwise you're just invading...that is liable to piss people off. Link to comment
Damak Var Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Damak Var will not participate unless you provide "incentive" Link to comment
Vocenae Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Grey, are you talking about MY river? If so, you can't just send armed gunboats up it without proper clearance that will never come. Plus it won't actually get you anywhere. Link to comment
Deltannia Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 No, Vocenae, I'm on the southern shores of Deltannia. I'm assuming there are smaller rivers and such, the ones on the map being major rivers. Don't worry, the riverboats can't really cross ocean (I guess they could move along the coast viably, but that would be pointless), and I'm just testing them out. Like you said, it wouldn't get me anywhere, riverboats, in terms of naval ships, pack much less of a punch. The idea is that they could provide some cover fire along waterways inland where naval can't go or reach (remember that Deltannia's air force isn't very powerful, and neither is it's land-based attack forces). Don't worry, we're cool. Link to comment
Stilistra Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 No worries, Aki. I'm making this somewhat of an artwork.... kinda. The reason for the declaration will come up later in some of my posts. Link to comment
