Which nation would you support in world war and why?

Now most of you may not know who Melkor or Menelmacar are, and I understand that because for longest time I didn't know either. Now there are also those of you out there who think Menelmacar is the greatest because of the web of propaganda they unleash to make you think that.

I just want to ask the simple question. If it came down to it...who would you back in a war between Melkor and Menelmacar.

I personally would back neither. The Vascilian League fought a brief war against Melkor because we were so thouroughly indoctrinated by the so called "good guys"

The nations of Tareldanore tend to be ruthless and aggressive, even though they like to pretend that they aren't. Where as Arda and Melkor tend to act when provoked. Though its easy to provoke them...they're evil after all.

So in short, who would you back, what are your reasons for doing so...and if you dont like either tell me why.

It's not really an issue. Both nations are future tech- with a generous mix of elves, orcs, dragons, and other branches of the Tokienian family tree. They do not exist in the universe of the Evil Overlord (modern tech), and therefore have no impact on the Dominion.

Assuming these factors were not present, the Dominion would likely sit on the sidelines, selling weapons and other materiel to both sides, and pick up the pieces afterwards.

((OOC: We've had mixed relations with both nations in the past, and we are technically a tribuatry of Melkor. We'd probably end up supporting both sides in secret, giving away free stuff for benefits after the war. We would trade sizable ammounts of goods for the end of tribute if Melkor won, and if Siri won we'd have traded for a stronger business relationship. Then again, if Siri won we'd be free from Melkor anyway, so we'd probably favor Siri above all.))

Melkor, there is no way I could support Menelmacar, the Lady is far too a manipulative an entity to be allowed any kind of access to the Kaiser.

The real question is which one of us is better at winning over the neutrals?

I think I would be :P

Wasn't there some ban on these threads? :roll:

Anyhow...I'm glad there's the last option...because while relations with either are sparse...I'm not really "in the red" with Melkor or Siri. I think it would depend on who's allies won me over the best....and that might just be Siri.... :shock:

I'd support whichever one offers me the highest price. Doesn't have to be cash, could be anything.

Of course I might not support either one. I've had minimal diplomatic relations with them both.

Office is opening, any time yall wanna dicker... :D

I would hide, and try to avoid getting stepped on....


However, I must point out that your fourth choice should have been "I get along well" rather than "I get along good."

Agreed. I'd probably do the same. I've never really had any kind of relations with either...

I don't like Menelmacar, no offense, because of his often sarcastic attitude... Melkor is okay, so I'll probably support him...

Meneclamar asked for it when he citicised my nation.

Menelmacar is a lady. Sheesh, some people........

Either way, by the Charter, we are obliged in a mutual defense pact to side with Menelmacar. Even if we weren't, we would still back her.

Well, they aren't gonna clash any time soon, thanks to the Bf2k3P, for those of you who don't know what that is, someone else with tell, I'm much too lazy to.

New to the body of nations, my answer is not who I would allign myself with, but rather a question: which of the two would attempt to take over a newly founded state first?

Yeah, that was my plan...of course, this war is on my freakin' doorstep eh.

I usually just say "The player" or "Em"

Im starting to lean towards Melkor. Ive noticed that Menelmacar and its chronies are arrogant, pompous and down right rude! Melkors politcals are benign in comparison. Ive taken a "pro-active security" stance at the moment. Not picking any side in the Martian war. Im only attacking Melkor if the nation doesn't agree to some terms I set. It doesn't seem to me like victory will come easy so I have to make sure my borders are covered when/if Tareldanore wins.

I have had no real interaction with either of them. I would sit on the sidelines until one of them did something I morally disagree with.

Melkor of course, for he is my ally, and Wretchans are always loyal allies. Even if we had no prior relations, I would pick Melkor. Everything about elves just seems to rub me the wrong way.
