The How And Why Of Declaring War. (a guide for n00blets)

ok, im making this guide because im soooo SICK!! of seeing posts whose topics are WAR!! and its some guy names jeronimo thats been around for 2 days and is declaring war on someone for sending him an insulting telegram...

ok, first we are going to go into the why. you need a valid reason. if you dont have one make one up. for example, say i want to go to war with some nation named ??¬©?¬?¥ƒ´. i would probably, if he had not done anything untword, make something up. like this.

EX 1:a boat bearing ??¬©?¬?¥ƒ´ markings sailed into the port town of silicaini, Shing-Lo this morning, went halfway up the channel that runs through the middle of the town and exploded, wreaking havoc and killing hundreds. we demand to know what this unprovoked attack means. respond or we will be forced to respond with military force.

good, eh? you need a reason, but it doesn't have to be real. if he sends you an instulting telegram, say that he launched a minor bological weapon at you. or something. dont go and say:

HE SAID MY MOMMA WAS FAT IN A TELEGRAM SO IM BLOWIN HIM UP!!!1!!!11!!11!!1!!11111!

ok, now we get to the How. you need a good reason, as illustrated above, but you want to word it very carefully. if you really want to go to war, you will want to leave no openings. dont mention anything they have in thier shop, or instance. then they can claim that hey have sold hundreds of them. dont give em a way out.

second, even though you are a n00blet, dont let them know that. say it well, not too many grammatical or spelling errors, use punctuation, and DONT USE PUPPETS!! some nations back themselves up with puppets. it only works with huge ones. you make a nation just to back you up, it wont work till hes got a post count of at least 50 and population 100 million. thats pretty much the basics. ill let you know when i add more.


if anyone thinks i didn't cover something, respond.

I'd personally recommend AMF's comprehensive guide to war, diplomacy, economy, and nukes.

Some one needs to make a example rp of a war. One that even idiots can read.

I would, but I don't think I have been in enought wars to be trusted (lets see. Wars i've been in: 6. How many of them actually lasted, no godmodding, ect.: Zilch)

I strongly disagreee with making stuff up about someone else. Would YOU like someone to make up that your nation fired a nuke at theirs?

you have it all wrong. it happens all the time, and its never anything really serious unless they really RPed them firing a nuke. a nuke kills alot more people than 100. i might have specified.

No offense, but you should type the guide better with proper capitalization, spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Again, no offense, but this guide right now looks like a mess in terms of apparance.

Just my suggestion, whether you give a damn about it or not. No offense meant.
