Round 2 has started in the Muunilist Region.

This thread will be the home for the latest incarnation of the wargame until it is ruined by more morons.
******************************************************


IC

The Un delegate invites all nations in the muunilist region to air their differences and stay updated with any news of war and trade agreements here.

Xstar and Gobinion have continued their profitable trade agreement for another 3 turns.

Representatives of these nations were keen to continue this relationship, asking when they could invest the necessary funds to keep the arrangement in continuum.

Financial guru, Ivan D Cash has advised all countries to follow the example of these power houses. " in my opinion, any country not in a trade agreement in the near future will be severely disadvantaged economically, as well as in matters of national security. Although one must be careful which country to join with. An unscrupulous dictator may take advantage of a good natured country and attempt to bankrupt it for their own gain"

IC:
The nation of Nuquernaminuialion has listened to Ivan's advice, seen that its just a load of indecisive waffle and wishes for Ivan to desist. Thank me for my time

Press Release: Department of Weird Armored Revolutions (WAR)
Rogue Nation of Toklarianarian.

The Department of Weird Armored Revolutions (WAR) has just received a mandate from the Department of Defence (signed by Gen. Morbid B. Mehart himself) that instructs this facility to make ready mechanical implements for the protection of this sovereign nation.

Accordingly, the WAR Department has entered the final stages of production on two exciting new inventions:

1) Twin Weeled Ion Tank (TWIT) which is capable of delivering a payload of Big Uber-Rocket Types (BURT's) up to one hundred kilometres away.

2) Duel Oxygen Powered Enforcer (DOPE) that can fly at subsonic speeds at twenty thousand metres above sea level and target defined areas with Extra-Range Non-Isotope Eradicators (ERNIE's).

The Department of WAR hopes these new inventions will aid in the defence of this country and places all completed machines at the disposal of the Defence Ministry.

Your crazy people sure give their children weird names to grow up with. It must be because you are only the third smartest nation in the region. (Or third last dumbest). On the other hand, we being the smartest (or LEAST dumb) will use it to our advantage and wage war on you WAR machines. I think some of your technicians have had a bit to much DOPE themselves... they shouldnt' be operating heavy machinery, especially of the flying kind

Press Release: Department of Misinformation
The Rogue Nation of Toklarianarian.

It has come to the attention of the Department of Misinformation that this nation's regional neighbour's have questioned the intelligence of Toklarianarian's citizens. As Minister of Misinformation I would like to take this opportunity to offer a rebuttal to such statements.

The people of this country, while not the most intelligent, are the most suited to rational thought and behaviour. A recent survey conducted by myself outside Pizza Hut Express indicates that the most intelligent people on the planet tend to be geeks, while the second most intelligent are highly prone to be tele-evangelists. In the context of regional defence this poorly equips those nations for action.

However, the third most intelligent people identified by the above exhausted survey are found to mechanical engineers. This places our sovereign state in the best position when in comes to the manufacture of Machines Of Defence (MOD's). Such practical knowledge, when measured against the threat materialising, highlights that the citizens of Toklarianarian are the most intellectually equipped people in this region.

Toklarianarian can you please explain in full detail what it means to be In Character (IC) and Out Of Character (OOC). For if we must specify whether we're IC or OOC when we post in this forum but we do not understand what exactly this means then the purpose of 'IC' and 'OOC' will rapidly diminish.

Please try to explain with a clear definition so that everyone will understand and then be able to participate without being hesitant as to whether they've got it right or not.

I'll take this one, seeing as I'm here now and got sometime to kill. If I'm sure feel free to correct me
Basically, what i get it to mean. Is if you are talking as your nation, ie threatening someone, saying things about what your nation is up to, or talking as a member of JOIN US/muunilst. Then thats called talking In Character... like role playing. Now if you arne' tdoing that and are say, like what you jsut did, and are asking a question related to the game (or just a question) that is not in character as your nation then you are Out of Character. Like what i'm doing now. Ideally anythign said out of character would not have an impact on the relationship with your nation to other nations, and anythign said in charater is not to be taken personally by the owner of the nation.

make sense?

Forgive me for adding to the OOC pile up.

The secretary general of the UN is concerned with the proliferation of arms that appears to be occuring in the Muunilist Region.
" It is our sincerest hopes that the feared stockpiling that appears to be eventuating does not end in further conflict. The road map to peace was designed to prevent such further bloodshed. And i commend all nations that are entering into peaceful trade agreements with their neighbours. "

Press Release: Department of Defence
The Rogue Nation of Toklarianarian.

The UN's grave message and stern warning for peace have been headed by the nation of Toklarianarian. However, the Defence Department had judged that it is in this country's best interest to remain vigilant for any acts of aggression on behalf of its regional neighbours.

Furthermore, the Defence Ministry has seen fit to authorise minor training operations outside our boards to better prepare our troops for any upcoming conflict.

The Department of Defence apologises in advance for any inconvenience this may cause other nations.

Yes. Peace talks with all our neighbours. That would be alright, but it would be more like a dice game to see who wins. I think I might stockpile wealth. Perhaps we should all stockpile wealth and see if Nano likes us becoming greedy.
30-08-2003, 02:00
Reports have come into day with Toklarianariani troops marching through The empire of Four corners borders. This was described by officials of Toklarianarain as a training exercise. The truth was nothing of the sort.

The stockpiles of weapons that this rogue nation has been accumulating, were unleashed against Four Cornernian positions in an unofficial attempt at an invasion.

The Empire of Four Corners normally used to being the aggressor were caught off guard, but fought off the surprise attack valiantly. Heavy losses were incurred by both sides with the Toklarianariani troops being wiped out to a man.

Given that no wealth was claimed by either side, this most likely was an idealogically motivated attack, based on the various political party rivalries in the area.
30-08-2003, 02:09
The following countries have been listed as dangerous stockpilers.

Toklarianarian
Xstar
Gobinion

These nations are now on the UN watch list for arms proliferation. They are to be watched carefully for potential signs of aggression.

Toklarianarain is on the list due to their stockpiling history, although at the moment their weapons have been used up in their "training exercise".

I would like some clarification on the trade agreements. It may be of use for everyone to hear it, not just me so i'll post it here too. To start a trade agreement you next 3 (or 5 i cna't remember) points. Are thease wealth, or jsut economic points? If it is wealth, that requires the teams in teh trade agrement to choose wealth to start a new agreement if thjey have no wealth. Which often may be unwanted. So say I have no wealth, then I get 10 eco points and need to start a new agreement. Can i chooseto get 7 weapons and give the other 3 points away to the agreement?

It has been recently brought to the media's attention that Nuquernaminuialion has taken over the manufacturing of clockwork mechanisms formally created by the nation of Elhrimir. Nuquernaminuialion has publicly denied that they are producing these gismos, with their minister making the following statement:

"The United States of America will crush all these terrorist threats.... what?..... I'm not George Bush?.... damn...."

Following this statement the minster made this comment:

"On behalf of Nuquernaminuialion I would like to retract my previous statemet"

His final comment was:

"I deny that [we] are manufacturing any clockwork mechanism, what a ridiculous accusation, it is widely known that all clockwork gismos are produced in Muunilist Asia (Elhrimnir)... all we are doing is buying the parts and assembling them together ourselves in manufacturing factories."

No further comments were made by the minister, however a random no-offical individual made the following comment in passing

"It is not about spite, its about petty revenge and getting back at that traitor moe"

Press Release: Department of Defence,
The Rogue Nation of Toklarianarian

The Defence Department would like to take this opportunity to deny recent accusations that the troops of Toklarianarian have attacked a fellow nation. This is completely preposterous.

All efforts were made to conduct any troop movements in accordance with international policy on training exercises. It appears that some troops made temporary detours from the planned program and were thought to have been casualties in conflict. In actual fact, some supply line problems rendered the support of these troops not possible. Such problems have now been rectified.

The sovereign nation of Toklarianarian solemnly supports the UN's Peace Accord Convention Treaty (PACT) against any militant action.

News just in: The traitor Moe has been gunned down during an alleged assassination attempt on the Nuquernaminuialion's minister. His assassination attempt was foiled due the the sneeze guards covering the salad preventing most from sneezing on the food. It was also found that his method of transport was hindered due to his car being impounded and then being turned into a cub. Upon trying to dial the Vehicle Impoundment Station (VIS) he recieved a automated response saying:

"The fingers you have used to dial are too fat. To obtain a special dialing wand, please mash the keypad with the palm of your hand.. now."

This message reportedly send him off his rocker as he attempted to use a pelican to mix cement. Then using the concreted bird as a weapon of mass destruction, hurling it in the general direction of a person who he thought was Nuquernaminuialion's minister. Police opened fire on Moe the moment the projectile was released.

The Minister had the followoing to say on the incident:

"The chief of police reported a three-eighteen 'waking a police officer' before the traitor moe was shot... "

The empire of the four corners has attacked the Rogue Nation of Schwepervensce. After being aggravated by a training exercise by toklarianarian troops, TFC has conducted a series of incursions into Schwepervesence lands.

TFC suffered some casualties with schwepervesence having heavy losses.

TFC has raided schweps bottling factories, liberating a large number of carbonated beverages as tribute from the younger nation.

A press leak has confirmed that talks by The Minister of Random Indecisive Sarcasm and ministers of enclosed surrounding nations has failed. And that Nuquernaminuialion is in the process of preparation. One might sence somethign brewing in the air. A well known psycologist, Dr Marvin Munroe, was allegedly involved in the following conversation:

Kent Brockman: "As a professional psycologist, would you say its time for people to tear their clothing, yank each others hair and slide into incoherant babblings?"

Munroe: "Yes, yes I do Kent"

Other News just in, it appears recently launched space shuttle has been taken over by Giant Alien Ants. More on that later

Before anyone begins to critise me for being unoriginal and having a lack of originality. I openly admit to using other people's humour in place of my own. Statistics show that my humour is only effective in 12% of cases, while borrowed humour is successful in 17% of cases. And because statistics can be used to prove anything (60% of people know that), they have proven that it is more effective for borrowed humour to be used. So it shall continue verbatim, unless they stop.

The jingoisitc states of Nuke the aluminium have been accused of stockpiling weapons of mario brothers again by the UN. With more secret factories of clockwork goombas being uncovered by Un weapons inspectors, nuquers response to these facts were a series of ramblings based on Simpsons sound bites.

It would give rise to fears that Nuqeramneisionarunm is planning a series of warmongering.

War was declared by The nomadic peoples of evanless against their former trading partner the empire of Ftuftilisations.

Both sides lost half their forces, but the nomadic evanites were victorious plundering all of Ftufts wealth.

The Un has been rocked with disbelief that a trading partner could turn so easily on another. Anyone in a trade agreement must worry that they too could be the victim of a surprise attack.

The federation of Xstar has mercilessly attacked the jingoistic states of Nuke the Amnesiac

The clock work goombas and phembots were overrun by the nebulon rock fighters of Xstar.

However the victory was short lived with Xstars losses far exceeding Nuke the Aquariums with no reward. The bankrupt states had little or no wealth to plunder.

Nations tremble when my army is heard approaching. My next victim will soon be crushed by my mighty blow. My Arms Manufacturing Industry has secretly been constructing a gigantic hoard of Weapons of mass destruction. These illegal weapons that have been secretly smuggled into use will soon be unleashed and my victim's Nation will be but a barren wasteland.

Remember, I do not just walk in the front door. I attack you from all four corners of your Nation so that there is no escape.

The empire of the four corners has backed up their jingoistic new broadcast with the simultaneous detonation of weapons of mass destruction on the soil of the Federation of Xstar.

Xstar reeling from the surprise attack was stunned as Four cornerian troops began to air lift crates of Corusan Gems from the central reserve bank of Xstar.

which bank?

the Xtreme Bank of Xstar at the Foreign Xchange.

Casualties were high and the theft of wealth complete.

With the violation of their trading partner, Gobinion has launched a retaliatory strike against the four corners.

The corusun gem laden gyrocopters of the four corners were intercepted by exploding touch football launchers of gobinion. The overly sporty nation then proceed to take the wealth making a successful try in their home territory.

A spokesman for Gobinion had this to say in the press release
" well the games over when the whistle is blown and the team with the most points win." and then proceeded to ask how many quarters he had to play.

This may signal a death blow to the four corners, as their use of weapons of mass destruction has made them a pariah of muunilist.

Nuquernaminuialion is reported to have been investing larget sums of miscellaneous tender into a wealth detector to assist in determining which nations in Muunilist have alot of wealth. Current results indicated that the Republic of Gobinion have recently had a vast increase in wealth. The detector also has a secondary function that has determined that Gobinion should watch its back
