NationStates Jolt Archive

Some random nationstate has sent me a pm saying they declare war on me. They are a nation of 6 million and I am one of over 765 million with a rather big military and advanced military. How do I RP this war?

[OOC-Laugh and crunch them? Watch out for guerilla tactics?

Basically, have a fun time. But try to work out a diplomatic settlement first...]

I say you should just crush them and laugh. They declared war on you so you have every right to respond in kind.

thanks for the suggestions, I decided to annex a province (Franco-Prussian war style) as a price for their foolishness. This was rather unexpected as I've never been in a war on here :-)

I suggest you roll over their military and hope they don't launch nukes. But if they do you have every reason to retaliate and crush him to nothing! :mp5:

If you didn't do anything to provoke them you point them in the direction of the Stickies (esp, the international incidents compilation sticky)

Otherwise I would either nuke them into plate glass (not recomended) or perpetrate a massive bombing campaign that leaves there nation almost as bad off as if they were nuked

just destroy them to teach them a lesson.

Pound the hell out of them for a while until they beg and plead for you to leave...then annex their country as a state or province within your own.

I'd go ahead and seize massive economic or monetary concessions as a way to get you to return their seized people ;) Also, make sure its given annually until they RP a way to end the settlement. Nothing like free resources.

That too. Depends on how much you need the extra real estate.

Yeah... I'm of the opinion you just frag 'em.

I'm in a war myself right now, or at least building to one. My opposition got a whole bunch of 6 and 7 million nations to back him up, and I scared the crap out of them after I posted. Never even posted again. Funny stuff, that.

Anyone starts anything, I'll change the password and kick them out...and they all know that.

where does this war stuff take place?



sry for my ignorance, im a newb

I think it's unlikely that you'd enjoy RPing with him/her, and you probably won't hear from him/her again if you don't respond. I'd just ignore it.

Or he's trying to get someone's attention. If I was a newbie country I'd declare war on Short Welsh People.

Oh wait, I am a newb. Gosh darn it.

This happened to me before, some 6 million newb telegramed me declaring war, the funny thing was that he TGed my puppet nation which was a recruiter nation in TNP, i sent him a TG polite telling him I ignored him and to read the stickies here, I got a response 2 days later, apparently some new player had let his friend on his computer and that's how sent out the TG, it was rather funny.

I'm curious how you can "annex" anyone? Couldn't they just ignore it and continue playing?

Indeed they could, but most people get a little bit miffed if you just go around ignoring whoever does something to you don't like with no good reason. It is my opinion that if you start a war, you follow through. 'Nuff said right there. Ignoring a person you declared war on just because the war is not going your way is...well...I suppose an appropriate term would be 'childish'.

No, it's a hopeless Godmode if they claim they can win with that kind of numerical disparity without extreme extinuating circumstances. Declaring war on a nation many times your size isn't very smart, but there's nothing inherently impossible about it.

Indeed. If a nation that was much, much, MUCH smaller than me declared a state of war against me, I would beat them into submission without mercy and hope they learned a valuable lesson from the experience.

How do you declair war? I never heard of doing that in the game. How does it work? What do you do?

"I hereby declare that a state of war exists between your nation and mine."

Not quite that simple, but something to that tone.

Keeping in mind that you outnumber the other nation in population alone by many times...I suggest one of the following:

1) Sit down on the ground, put your head between your knees and rock back and forth while muttering "I'm dead...I'm dead...I'm dead..."

2) Command your entire population to strip their clothes, paint pink, green, and yellow paint all over themselves and run toward the enemy like crazed fanatics. It is said that many enemies will run from this as they see you are clearly and completely insane.

3) Or...you could go the same old route and 'legally' wank your numbers!!

Usually in International Incidents, but anything is possible.

Our response - once - was to surrender all forces in their nation. As we had none, we volunteered to put some there to surrender to them.

When they agreed, we sent one large nuclear warhead by airmail.

:D

A most interesting moral question.
Allow me to offer the following dilemma:

When a fly lands on a man's nose, what does he do?
Does he make a friendly hand gesture to urge the fly to seek a more favorable landing spot?
Or does he smash the fly, thereby kicking himself in the nose?

Hopefully, this thought provoking piece of wisdom will be able to guide you in your quest for answers.

When a fly lands on a man's nose, what does he do?
Does he make a friendly hand gesture to urge the fly to seek a more favorable landing spot?
Or does he smash the fly, thereby kicking himself in the nose?

He swats the fly away and then waits for it to land on something and kills it with a rolled-up newspaper, generally.

Make of that what you will...

I would tell them to piss off, its not like they probably have the capabilities to attack you anyway. Though, just to be counter to that stupid analogy.

SMASH THEM FLAT! POUND THEIR BONES INTO DUST AND DRINK THE MARROW OF SAID BONES! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR!

When this happened to a fellow region member we suggested that the challenger hold peace talks first, with my nation as referee. Noobs all, my lot and the other regionista RPd a meeting in a bar in my capital. Another equally new region member came along from curiosity and we RPd cautious overtures until all the national leaders got to know each other and everybody started singing drunkenly (which wasn't easy, given that one of them was a dragon). Every now and then someone would comment that the challenger hadn't turned up and there would be a further round of bitching and more drinks. Eventually a kind passer-by (Layarteb, it was) pointed out to us that since the other guy hadn't turned up we could stop RPing peace talks and just GO HOME!

If he hadn't, we'd probably still have been stuck there.

If you're interested in a "limited engagement" war, I can certainly oblige. :D And I've just the thing....

Hot stuff...I didn't know I could have such a good impact. LOL but hell here's my take on the matter.

6 million guy declaring war on 765 million. He must think he can win, which means he probably has some godmodded weapon. I say flatten the living hell out of him, get a coalition of nations to help you do it, and when it's all over just TG him or post something like (next time think before you go to school in the morning).

Now while that is a pretty darn good idea, I have no nuclear armaments. If somebody declares war on me, I'm pretty much stuck with the old tried-and-true method of sending a vast multitude of highly trained soldiers over to their country to crush them under the heels of their combat boots.

I'd just ignore it.Hmmm...6 million n00b vs. 765 million inexperienced RPer. Must be a masochist. If you're kind, you declare war on him/her and kill everyone in the country. If you're mean, you ignore the TG or report the nation to the mods. Or you can just pretend the nation doesn't exist and eventually it'll disappear for Godmoding or some similar offence.

~ Romandeos.Yeah, that's what I'd do, if I had a vast multitude of highly trained soldiers. Wait, I don't even have a vast multitude of lowly trained soldiers. I don't even have a small multitude of soldiers. Shit, I don't even have an army. I'm still waiting for the issue "Military Demands Increased Spending" LOL.

I think someone tried to to do this to my main nation once, I telegrammed back with rough details of my military and he kind of....lost interest, since the combined ground troops in the Armies of Isam number significantly more than six million.

If you do decide to go to war, let the Combined Goblin Collective know, and we'll stop by with a few goodies.

We've seen your 'goodies'. We wouldn't want to inflict you on our worst enemy. :D

Ok. Thanks for all the help chaps! :)
The guy's nationstate is called 'The Kingdom of DAsd'
Anyone want to hold my hand as we flatten his country? Also a way to make a calculation of my army, navy and air force capabilities would be nice? I voted on the orbital platforms idea on the military spending recently ;)

Also, we can send weapons. There's still a lot of them left over from a war that didn't happen in 1982. Not the latest tech, but pretty good for its condition.
