OOC: Unfortunately, Morath, Guffingford only recognises the HP earth claims thread, so for the purposes of this war you don't have anything in Europe...
Morathania
26-09-2004, 15:39
OOC: Actually you do not control the Red Sea or the Suez Canal. IDF has a strong presence in the region and would stop any attempt to block alliance shipping.
EDIT: If you look in the actual thread you can see that Guff allowed me to have Sweden and Finland for the sake of the RP. He okayed it and it is his thread so I accept that these are now my official claims for this RP.

Huzen Hagen posted the take over of Erithrea before jolt. I'm damn sure he did because I helped him. Austar Union even tried to declare war to us about it. Case closed.
IDF owns NOTHING what is listed in my RL claims thread. Earth 5? Don't even think about it. Oh yeah Morathania, if Russian Forces attacks (note the IF) then your play in Finland is over... I think. I don't know what Guffingford has to say about this, it's up to him and RF.
FYI, What's with RF and NATO? I talked to him and it's wrong.

26-09-2004, 15:48

how about you stop being so damn lazy and have a look at both chellises and hp's thread (chellis last pages, hp first pages) and the link is there. Now i want all of you and your allys (including IDF) to post the links to their rl (earth1) claims or i wont recognise they come from where they say they do (morath exempted) and assume they are based on their NS nation. Your allys have already got off to a bad start rp wise (Hamptonshire takling near enough half of spain with 80'000 marines) so why dont you stop being so petty and we can get this moving.
As for IDF being near the suez (well he says he is) it doesnt matter. A ship going through the canal will have to pass eritrea and therein lies my ability to contorol it but an IC post coming up will clear this all up.

There's a link to it on the RL claims thread? I thought it was purged... no matter. It would have been easier if you had just told us that, or simply gotten the link by copying and pasting from the thread. I would now start an argument by saying "Why do you tell us to stop being lazy and research your claims whilst you at the same time want us to hand you our claim threads on a silver platter" but I wont, because that would cause pointless flaming. Anyway, I have no RL territory, so that demand doesn't affect me.

Ok, my indents failed, but basically each fleet is divided into battle groups designated by greek letters, and then into subgroups that are numbered within each individual battle group. Carriers are followed by the planes on them.

Sorry about their being so many but I really haven't heard of many of your ship designs.
Well, I'll be sending the following ground forces. They are going to be in Hamptonshire Spain of course, for the defence operations. The Mechanized Infantry Brigades (each with approx. 5000 men and about 60 tanks) will arrive first, followed by the lengthened shipment of the larger (and more immobile) divisions and their equipments. Obviously they aren't all going to arrive immediately, but the arrival of the quick brigades and my large fleet of large-scale transports will hopefully solve the problem.
8 Mechanized Infantry Brigades
3 Armored Divisions
4 Mechanized Infantry Divisions
2 Surface-to-Surface Missile Battalions
2 Artillery Regiments
2 Marine Corps Coastal Defence Artillery Regiments
Total: ~200,000 (with field support personnel)
Tanks: ~2200 total
Fighting Vehicles (IFV only): ~2800 total
Artillery Pieces (excl. Artillery Regiments, MLRS units, 105mm and 155mm towed guns): ~800 self-propelled
Forces include various Kodachi missile launchers, 105mm-155mm guns, anti-aircraft guns and missiles, rocket launchers, surface-to-ship missile batteries

Thanks I didn't know if those were RL ships or ships that you either disigned or bought that are not found in RL. Thats for the info.
HP, I own Israel, Western Asia hasn't posted in months. You gave him the land to lock me out. Everyone else reckognizes my claim to Israel and Sinai.
IIRC, you don't even have a nation since Guerrilistan took you over.
Huzen Hagen posted the take over of Erithrea before jolt. I'm damn sure he did because I helped him. Austar Union even tried to declare war to us about it. Case closed.

Crookfur doesn't own an RL nation but such is the postioning of our home land and holdings that they have a direct impact on the entire conflcit outside of central europe and the middle to far east.
and yes we are shipping vast amounts of supplies to allies...
Well, neither do I own a RL nation. My nation itself resides in the Pacific, and I'm pefectly capable of coexisting with "Earth I" nations (in fact, I owned England before giving them up about a year ago in October).
I have stated this a while back. I do not recognize HPs claim thread. I don't recognize Guffingford holding Iceland, BeNeLux, or west africa. Yet I am roleplaying here, out of courtesy. Again, this is not going on the HP claims list. So quite simply, IDF controls Israel in this RP. That, or Guffingford doesn't own BeNeLux or western africa. You aren't going to make me a target and use your rules on who owns what.
Anyways, about numbers
I have about 1/5th of my total military in France. This is about 22m men total, Naval assets included, and including those in Corsica and Spain. I have about 50,000 Nilsar MBTs, 12,000 Pouch Tank Hunters, 80,000 various IFV's, mostly Mirca IV's, about 40,000 aircraft in there, half of them cargo aircraft, and about 20,000 helicopters in France. I have probably around 400,000 various artillery pieces(75mm plus), ATGM's(Anything at the size of a Milan or larger), and AAA(Immobile or vehicle launched) in France. I believe I have about 400 divisions total, of various types. I also have a large number of other things, such as VAB-type vehicles, APC's, etc.

IDF owning Israel would just be for the sake of RP. Just as I do not own Sweden and Finland in the HP thread but for the sake of RP Guff is allowing me to use those two countries to RP. I think we should allow IDF to control Israel for this RP and all other nations involved recognize the claims of all other nations for the sake of this RP.

As to the whining on the part of HP and the rest - shut it. Period. This entire RP is being done out of courtesy by Chellis and by his allies. Stop the Godmoddery, stop the attempts at rewriting maps, and quit being babies, it's annoying.
IDF owns Israel and can shut the Suez from the North. Huzen Huzen can shut it from the South. I've got subs on the bottom in the middle. Nuff said?
Guffington, if you want France or any of the other contested areas, you'll have to fight for them. Period. Stop the rapid advance crap, it's annoying and you'll end up playing with yourself if you keep acting as though everyone else is here for your convenience. I only know of one other player on NS who acts like you, and I'm a hairsbreath from believing the accusations.
And Holy Panooly - if you even THINK about ignoring combatants, this entire thread shuts down. You dont' get to pick and choose. The "it didn't happen" thread already proved enough about your skills to make me ill, don't prove me right as well.
Now start acting like adults and lets play this out. Or keep whining, your choice.
I have posted in the other thead that ships have been deployed to the Gulf of Aden and southern end of the Red Sea, just in case HH acts on his threats.

Okay, this is a continuation of the satellite/concealment discussion that was about to pop up.
Guffingford: I don't expect you to know this because we haven't RPed together before, but I'm going to explain the capabilities of my spy satellites. They take extremely high-resolution digital photos (think of being able to blow the image up to ten-foot size photos that are commonly used for spysat pictures and still be able to see fine detail down to feet and inches) in four spectrums.
Visible Light: Your standard full-color photos, fairly easy to fool if you know what you're doing.
IR: Doesn't rely on coloration but heat signature, but any competent engineer shouldn't have a great deal of trouble setting up heat blinds and decoys.
UV: This is far harder. If you've ever put a plastic leaf and a real plant under a ultraviolet lamp, you'll immediately notice the difference. Because of photosynthesis a real plant will glow in the light but a plastic plant will just reflect the light back. Now obviously anything that has a camo net over it still won't be visible to the sat, even with UV, but that's where the next spectrum comes in.
Radar: If you've ever opened a science textbook and seen that yellowish picture of the Nile with its dried-up and buries tributaries, that's a radar sat image. Officially the sat belongs to NASA, but it's widely, if unofficially, acknowledged that the picture was taken by an advanced NRO satellite. Basically it doesn't matter what you use to cover something, it's going to be seen by whatever spysat that is using the radar spectrum for photos.
Guffingford
27-09-2004, 15:58
But the fact remains all satellites can only look straight down to earth. There are ways to get around those tricky satellites though.

27-09-2004, 16:05
That's not necessarily true, but even if it was, what does it matter? I am, after all, talking about finding ground targets.
Morathania
27-09-2004, 19:45
I agree with SS. With new Spy Satelites that have IR and UV capabilities Camo is useless. Camoflague, normal Camo nets, only work against normal vision. A camera for example would have a hard time finding a camoflagued installation but a camera that is IR capable would be able to see the heat signatures of men and machines under the Camo thus rendering it inaffective. Almost all of the NATO nations, to my knowledge, have spy satelites. It would be impossible for you to hide a defense structure the size of the Maginot line from Recon Planes and Satelites.
Crookfur
27-09-2004, 20:30
Also why use spy sats you can fly a rather plain looking aircraft about 50km inside of your border and gets good imagry for a good 50+km of your opponents side, yes it isn't full top down but it can see through gaps spy sats can miss, this assumes the fortifications are soemwhere near the border anyway...

As this is the OOC thread - are you blind? Guffington started this by invading Spain and threatening Chellis-held France. Go back to the beginning of the IC thread and read. Then read how Guffington invaded Spain and Portugal.

You're being duped. Very well duped. You've been made into an absolute patsy - excellent work by Guffington. Gotta admit that. Never ever seen anyone used and made fool of so completely before. You've even got your friends and allies dancing to Guffington's tune.
You're being sucked into a war by someone out on a crusade. So either you know about it, or you're a patsy. A or B. Which is it? I really want to know. Because either you're a lying sack, or you get a big sticker labelled "SUCKER" on your forehead.

You Must remember you are Threatening an Old Collection of Powerful Nations that have lived thought and seen some of Nation states biggest Events, Including the GDODAD invasion of Europe in May 2003.
There are a lot More Nations expected to add there names to this List as time goes on and other nations that refuse to show there face unless the fighting even begins.
From this Alone anything UA has moved to Europe would be easily outnumber in no time at all.

I also want to point out that you shouldn't blockade the Northern end of Suez as that is my own waters you are blockading and that is an act of war. (I realize that you may have posted that in confusion to who owns Suez so I'll let you off the hook as long as the blockade on Northern Suez is ended)

You do know that as a rule of RP ettique if you don't want that to be ignored, you would have had to clear that with a member of the UA first. Since this attack occured over France, did you get the okay from Chellis?
Otherwise I could RP a nuclear explosion in one of my cities and blame it on Guffingford.
About this argument on who is stronger in this case, nation creation date doesn't tell who is stronger or not. I have (along with another nation) defeated three early 2003 nations in a previous invasion where they landed on my shores, but I have also seem early 2004 nation putting 2003 nations into their graves in other wars. Not only it depends on technology (or number, if you are somehow planning to do human wave attacks and all that stuff), but it also depends on how intelligent your field commanders are - an army field commander who decides to decides to land 1 million troops onto a hostile beach minimum air, artillery, and seaborne support, is frankly, an idiot. Regardless of what we argue about, we'll have to fight to see who will be the true victor.

My first inclination is to ignore this for the reasons stated by Hamptonshire. Unified Sith did you clear this with any UA member? Did you inform a UA member via email, IM, TG, etc. that this will be happening? Did you allow them to reply if you did send a message? If this is an attempt to strike a match in gas tank that is this situation you will have to pass that RP through with a nation on the other side of the table.

Gotta be one of the two.
Vastiva will be sending normal shipping through the Suez, unescorted, in a normal post. We will also be actively broadcasting any attempt to impede, board, or hinder said shipping, to the entire world.
The ships - freighters and oil tankers - will move through the Suez, across the Mediterranian, to the ports in southern France. Once unloaded and loaded, they will retrace the same path.
Therefore, either you will intercept said fleet - an Act of War - or you will not. If the latter, why are you there?
And yes, Vastiva will go to lengths to broadcast the presence and disposition of any ships which attempt to impede it's voyage.

As far as the above - so, if you are neither, you might explain why you are supporting the imperialist advances of Guff?
You state you want to have Spain and Portugal unoccupied so as to support VL's return - yet when the voices are counted, why is yours absent when it comes to calling for Guff to withdraw?
War is the furthest thing from our minds - but you do seem to be jumping to arms to defend an invader of Spain and Portugal who is intent on holding such lands, when the UA has been adopting a poise of peace - and yet you still bellow that the UA is "causing trouble". The UA appears to be the set of nations doing all it can to create a peace.
Where is your voice, Dr Twist?
Where do we see your voice raised calling Guff to stand down and withdraw from what you state you would like to see returned to VL?
You state you are blockading the Suez - is this the action of someone after peace?
You state you will impede shipping near Italy - is this the action of someone after peace?
So I repeat - either you are after a war, or you are swallowing a line of sheer crap from Guff (aptly named he is). It is one or the other, there is no middle ground. Facts and threads prove he is the invader - and minor research on your part will prove this.

For what seems to be the same Reason as UA supporting Imperialism in North Spain, They claimed it as a so Called Buffer State.
Why state something for one Nation but forget the other, the withdrawal would have to be a planned even pull out by both sides.
We have Yet to see UA raise there voice on what Hamptonshire took in Spain and called it a so called Buffer State.
Maybe you should read the post a little more carefully about what’s happening in the East Med. You are also Threatening the Peace yourself by sending Ships into a Volatile area to try and get a reaction from allied forces.
I have Stated again and again, the Allies of Europe only moved in to make sure NATO and its allies didn't take advantage of the situation that was happening in Spain to launch an invasion of a European allies, in Such the Allies of Europe begin Mobilization for the Protection of the Whole of Europe, a lot of Old Nations have seen the biggest wars in NS history breakout in Europe, from the GDODAD invasion of Russian Forces to the Genocide of ADK to the Dr_Twist Civil war, the Allies have always stood together and there foothold on Europe will never be weaken by an outside party that has in the past been major enemies of the Allies in Europe.
So unless you know the History of Europe you would never understand that when it comes to Europe any form of Buildup by outside Alliances and Nations especially NATO, we have no choice but to match them because of the Shear size of wars that have broken out in Europe between these 2 sides of the fence.

Let's compile a list of who vs who in Crucible.
ALLIES (NATO, OMP and CAD)
The Incorporated States of Sarzonia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 1.083 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
*****
The Federation of Morathania is a huge, devout nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 850 million are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
*****
The Grand Duchy of Hamptonshire is a massive, devout nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.202 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
*****
The Proletariat Commonwealth of The Island of Rose is a huge, economically powerful nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 824 million enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
*****
The Democratic Imperium of Praetonia is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 924 million enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.
*****
The Sultanate of Vastiva is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 493 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
*****
The Mercantilist Absolutism of Chellis is a massive, economically powerful nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.686 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
*****
The Imperium of Scandavian States is a massive, economically powerful nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 2.762 billion are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
Europe (RWC, RBA, Bision & allies)
The Union of Socialist Republics of Russian Forces is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, cynical population of 3.763 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
*****
The Socialist States of Dr_Twist is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its quiet, industrious population of 3.319 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
*****
The Continental Socialist Empire of Imperial Forces is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.712 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.
*****
The Holy Roman Empire of The Macabees is a massive, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 2.759 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
*****
The Soviet Socialist Republics of Malatose is a massive, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, cynical population of 3.206 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
*****
The Conglomerate of Armacor is a massive, economically powerful nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.883 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
*****
The United States of Independent Hitmen is a massive, economically powerful nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed population of 3.247 billion enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level social equality free of the usual accompanying government corruption.
*****
The Holy See of Guffingford is a massive, devout nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.564 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
*****
The Imperial Dictatorship of Iron Blood is a massive, devout nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare.

*****
The Eternal state of Unified Sith is a massive, devout nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.301 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The Imperial Forces of Intelligent Neighbors is a massive, economically powerful nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.496 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company.

What UA does is his own Business
There technically is no Blockade as Normal Shipping Vessels will not be stopped or interfered with, but if you go back and read the post it says and i Quote "ASKED" That’s right, UA ships would be ASKED to halt at those areas, it doesn't say anything about forcing them from the area it says ASKED, and then we have you Trying as much as possible to instigate a war in that area by sending in ships trying to get Allied forces to fire upon the ships.

both sides made apparently hasty moves in iberia but the UA are willing to back down from this situation and grant autonity to the region again it is Guffingford whor efuses to give up his claims.

Chellis only owns the military base of gibraltar, not the province itself. We see no reason to give up an actual military base, especially since we have a very small troop presense there, about a division. Our troops there don't infringe upon Spanish civilians. We are, however, willing to let in troops from other nations as a check to the base, and we will even shut down the heavy guns indefidentally. We can't give it back to anyone, because there is no civilian use for it. We would just be abandoning a military base. Chellis has no airforces there, no tanks or artillery. Just an infantry division, and see's no reason why something that is quite often not under spanish control should be ceeded. We hold old VL territories so no one else can take them, not so we can control them.

Guff people have to sleep you know. As Hamptonshire told you in the IC thread he was asleep when you made the announcement that you would withdraw if UA forces withdraw. Then after basically thirty minutes you start lashing out at Hamptonshire because he hasn't immediately responded. Excuse me but people can't be on continually. Thats why RPs take so long because people can't be at their computers 24/7. They have jobs or school and they definitely have to sleep. So next time you may want to check the time in the place where the person you are RPing with lives to see when he's on. Don't make the UA look belligerant because the one person who has forces in Spain was sleeping. Thats a low blow and you should appologize to Hamptonshire and you should retract the statements you said earlier about the UA being belligerant because Hamptonshire didn't immediately accept your withdraw. If you do that again I am going to make you go 24 hours without sleep just staring at a computer screen and the NS forums. Hah. Little joke, don't go crazy. But just remember to be considerate of people if they don't immediately reply.
Dr. Twist. Stop spewing BS. You said that you were blockading the Suez Canal. You are also impeding the flow of shipping through international waters in the Mediterranean both of which I consider moves which are made to bring about a war. You have said yourself that UA (NATO, as you said) will not attack first. The UA has constantly said that it wont lead a first strike. So why would you begin blockading the Suez Canal and impeding the flow of shipping through the Mediterranean? Unless you or one of your allies starts a war you have nothing to fear from NATO et al. Were not going to attack you unless you, or Guff, or US, or RF, or HP attacks one of us. So what if we move warships through the Suez or the Mediterranean. If you know that we wont conduct a first strike and you know that your group of allies wont conduct a first strike then why are you imposing a blockade and stopping the movement of UA shipping? Unless you know that one of your "allies" will conduct first strike and will strike a match into the gas tank of a situation that we have now. I just have a few questions. Just a little perplexed. I don't want snide remarks either I want a clear answer to the questions that I have put forward.

Okay, this thread has been numberwanking to the extreme degree. 12 Million men armies?! What?! I don't have that in my Armed Forces! Oy... the logistics would be insane yet you do it with a wave of the magic wand! Ta da!
The fact that COMMUNISTS are supporting a CHRISTIAN FASCIST NATION makes me go what the fuck?! What?!
Also... RPing the death of your leader... to start a war... common sense tells you WAR-MONGERING!!!
In fact, I just want to IGNORE this RP... but I can't cause I'm a nice boy!
Gah!

OOC: I hear ya man. Especially the Communists thing. Makes me feel like taking them all and banging their heads with a large spoon.
OOC: Chellis is moving 12,000 Nilsar MKI's off of the front lines, and replacing them with Nilsar MKII's and MKB's as they become available. We will be retrofitting all existing MKI's as resources are available. Many MKI's are being sent to Western Africa as well, to be retrofitted in WA factories and sent back to France.

Yeah, Guff if you would just look at the location under my name you would see "Southern California". That's in the GMT -7:00 zone (due to Daylight Savings Time). Your little fit has done nothing to improve your standing and most likely after this RP is over I place you under an official IGNORE.
I didn't saw your location so I'm going to be ignored? Excuse me for not reading a location. I'm not going to participate in peace talks, I'm handling it by myself.

Guffingford you're going to be IGNOREd because of the puppet issue, your poor claiming RPs, and your all too familiar attitude. As soon as this situation is over, my NS world will be decreasing by 4 nations (but only 3 players).

Sorry but is the use of puppets an issue? If you're ignoring me but then, what will happen to your claims if you don't exist to me? And my poor claiming RP's? Have you seen yours? I don't care a single moment about you ignoring me. If you didn't like my claims, why are you RPing with me? Only because I'm a bigger puppet with many powerful allies. Yes that's it.

I am far from the best by any means, but at least I go for realism and interactivity when possible.

I was doing the RP because out of the spirit of the RP Chellis was playing along, and on the NATO Boards Chellis asked for a little help.

You must be incredibly stupid to not know that puppet wanking is horrible RPing etiquette. Hamptonshire, are we going to continue this RP or may I IGNORE this bunghole now?
Using puppets is a very bad RP style. I admit I have a puppet, but I only use it for future tech RPs that the Trekie within me demands.
What is happening here is one nation is using a puppet to help his main nation get land. That is very good grounds for an IGNORE. I will join my allies in ignoring you and your puppet master after this RP is finished.

Cool it with the personal attacks. You can ignore a player, obviously, but calling them names is not acceptable FORUM etiquette.
Seeing as guffingford is pretty much saying he is a puppet of HP, I am hovering my hand over the button to ignore Guff. I don't deal with puppeteirs, quite simply. Its just another form of godmodding.

This is purely a SAD attempt by UA members to find any loop hole they can to avoid the situation, there is no violation on the Puppet level, He is not using any Puppet to bolster his numbers in this situation.
Nations use puppets all the time to get involved in situations to not let there allies know what’s going on, so they can heavy get involved in a situation without breaking or hurting any of its allies or alliance.
UA needs to understand that if u took this step and ignoring him because he has other publicly known nations that aren’t involved in the war you would have to ignore nearly every other nation here in Nation States because i can guarantee it that people will have more then one nation, and just the point that you know he owns that nation and you are trying to ignore him for it is just SAD. UA get over yourself on the puppet situation because it is complete BS!
Dr_Twist.
Sure, that may be what you do, but I'm sure the majority in the UA, would not accept this kind of "puppet abuse", so to say. If you are using two or more puppets in this, you are just being unfair to everyone who only has one nation in the conflict. If you control more than one nation (like me), most people won't like it if you have both (or more) enter in the conflict (or multiple conflicts with relations between each other) and if you are using your main nation to give some form of advantage to your puppets. I personally have other nations under my control, but I would never use them to gain advantage. In most RPers' minds, it's just wrong. Put it simple, in a chess game, I think that many people won't like it if you say that your king can move like a queen and a knight just because "you can".
I'm sure that most nations here are not concerned about Guff owning more than one nation, but it is how he uses them. There's a distinct difference between owning more than one nation OOCly, and using them to gain advantage unfairly.
That's just how I think. If I'm being too harsh, then I'm sorry, but these are just my thoughts on the whole OOC situation here.

I understand were you are coming from but there is nothing written anywhere on the movements of using puppets like that as far as I am aware, and even if there was it would be suggestions only as I highly doubt mods would bring in such rules.
There are a lot of nations with puppets that use them on that level, the main two most known in NS on that level is Whitter and Garrison 2, They both do this all the time thus making if you ignore HP for this u are technically ignoring atleast those two and any other nations that use puppets on that level.
Personally I think this is just an attempt by UA to find some way to ignore the situation that’s happening in Europe because alliances like NATO have been able to do what ever they can for so long, now that there is nations prepared to standup to them UA wishes to get out of the situation.
I don't want war in Europe, Europe has seen to many wars, all we want is to cool the situation down as fast as possible.

I ignore all players that puppetwank including Whitter and now HP.
As for NATO, what has NATO done on the international stage? You talking about "alliances like NATO", hate to say it but the RBA and the RWC are trying to same stuff; it's nothing new.
I'm still willing to sign and enact the Permanent Pan-European Non Aggression Pact, but as I only recognize Chellis' Claims Thread as legit and I ignore HP/Guff and now US, I would only be able to sign the Pact with those nations who have valid claims to European territory.
Sure, there isn't any formal rome set up by the mods (the mods isn't responsible for modding RPs anyways), but you have to know the fact that avoiding using "puppets" to gain advantage for one another is a commonly accepted rule here, and I can guarentee you that many nations here, does not accept this kind of act. if you want me to speak from my heart, frankly, I think that "puppetering" is just another form of godmodding. It's essentially getting something done by going through the backdoor (so to speak) and making the whole situation unfair. Sure, there are nations (as you pointed out) who accepts this, but you have to know that not only the members in the UA will not accept this kind of act, but also that not using puppets is making everything fair. It's again like chess: you could claim how your king just got to somewhat of a "uberking", and although it's not like the police will arrest you and send you to death row for doing such things, you are making the whole game unfair for your own advantage, which can often result in - frankly - few people wanting to play with you. These nations you mentioned can, in essence, play with their own rules, but they must face the fact that they cannot force people (with different thougths about this) to not avoid RPing with them.
As for the second accusation, I can tell you that as a member of this UA, this is a baseless claim. We do not ignore people just because this is going to turn to a huge war or this will inflict heavy casulties, but it's because of this puppetering thing going around in this RP ever since it began. You could call it your own perception, but if we want to ignore it just because we don't want to face teh challenge, we would have done it days ago. But the truth is simply, the oness in UA (including me, who have chosen to ignore this) are not ignoring this because of all the challenges and the likes, but are ignoring this because of the puppetering and the great unfairness and (in my opinion) unsportsmanlike attitude created by it.
Well, since I got the feeling in my mind out, I hope that you can understand what the situation here is deteriorating to. Frankly, starting an argument is not on my mind, but it seems that the moment has come where I will make my personal judgement on this case. Thank you for your understanding.
We are in our right to ignore HP. Puppeteering IS godmodding. I will admit I have puppets, but I've never had them interact or done an RP to benefit IDF. The only 2 puppets I've RPed with were Captain James T. Kirk (I still use that one for it's purpose, to do the occasional space RP that the Trekkie within me desires.) The other one is Daley's Chicago ( I only did joke RPs there to satirize the corruption of Mayor Richard M. Daley.)
What HP is doing is taking a puppet to fight along side his main nation. That is godmodding. If I brought in all my puppets so I could have more troops fighting and more land you would be crying foul. What HP did is godmodding and no self respecting RPer would do that or RP with someone who does.
DT, please explain to me how puppeteering is not godmodding.

I understand what you mean now and yes i agree with you, that type of puppet wanking shouldn't be allowed to make another nation bigger, so yes on that level i do agree.
The Dr_Twist Government will put this on the Table, We will turn back the clock and make Spain and Portugal a free Nation like it originally was and both sides will instantly demobilize instead of a straight out ignore, because you can ignore one nation but not all of us, so doing this would make it easy. The NAP thing will go on and so on but yer lets just kill the situation.

I'd like to continue on with the plan that you and I came to agree on.
As for the specifics here is what I propose:
-Each "side" will choose 4 nations, the other "side" must agree to all 4 nations.
-Each nation may send up to 5,000 total troops- lightly armed, UN Peacekeeper-Style (aka. Blue Helmets) soldiers into Spain and Portugal to insure the safety of those two nations.
-All bases used by the IIPSF will be administered and owned by the Government of Spain or the Government of Portugal.
-The "command" of the Iberian International Peacekeeping and Sovereignty Protection Force (IIPSF) will alternate between one of that nations on one side and a nation on the other side on the 1st of every month.
-An attack upon Spain and/or Portugal will be an act of war against all nations that have signed the Iberian Peacekeeping and Sovereignty Treaty.
Once I find the agreement that Chellis and I came to in Cameroon, I'll post more specifics for the Iberian mission.
I will sign any such deal, Hamptonshire.

The Dr_Twist Government believes this is a Step in the Right Direction for the Region.
I think the best nations for this from our side is:
Myself
Russian Forces
IH & IN
We also believe that if Chellis wish’s to Keep Gibraltar even if it is the Fort something needs to be added to the Agreement of it, because the Allies believe that chellis will use that position to take control of the straight.

Yes that is true but all we are looking for is some form of agreement on that Region in relation to the straight itself.
All we are looking for is permanent unrestricted access to the straight, and that Chellis would not legally be able to close the straight on the allies or it would be seen as a declaration of war on the allies.
We believe that this would only make the region more stable as a closing of the straight would only lead to more conflicts between the two parties.

By having both sides agree, the potential for possible "accidents" will be avoided. Your side can pick who it wants in and only if the UA has a serious problem will it object.

And yes i agree with you on the Agreement side of things, Europe has seen many a war and both sides are trigger happy and we know that, It was only destined that we meet in the battlefield because of the size of both sides.
We hope that this will cool the situation down and even in the future a full European Alliance would be created for Europe’s Protection and defense.

Chellis has no plan for war, but will not be caught with our britches down. We were fine with keeping it low profile, but if everyone is going to bitch about us having it, we need to make sure we keep it, its obviously important. Chellis has no reason to close the strait, but we must maintain the right to do so if it becomes nessecary.
That being said, chellis has not signed any treaties, including Hamptonshires. Chellis is not for war, but is also not decided on that, especially not knowing the specifics.

That’s just the point Chellis the allies are worried that you or others might use the location to even bring this around again, We do believe the chellis government that they are interested in Peace, but this is a Volatile area that can be easy used to bring tensions to the area once again, Thus the adding of such important part of the NAP.
This is the reason why we are pushing so hard and that something needs to be added about the location.

The difference is, chellis did not start this. We know this is true, and we know we dont want to fight. So we don't need to worry about us being aggresive, we wont be. If you don't believe us, well, sorry. Chellis gains nothing by giving up, or severly reducing gibraltar.

I agree with the Hamptonshire/Dr Twist plan and I think all UA nations should sign it and allow its passage. Spain will be free, Portugal will be free and the main bone of contention will be dismantled. I think that this joint peacekeeping force is a good idea and will lead to a stable Iberian Peninsula. I am also happy that Dr Twist is being cooperative and is working with Hamptonshire for peace in Europe. We thank them for turning from their Bellicose ways and accepting peace as an answer to war.
I would also like to put Morathania forward as a candidate for command in the first month. We are a non-warlike nation who while being a UA member was not in the top tier during this RP. Also Morathanian troops have a good deal of training in Reconstruction and nation building. We have gone into several RL nations, like Fiji and Romania, and we have built up stable governments and have completely rebuilt Renovia from a nation with a theocratic regime and a dismal economy into a thriving free trust territory with a powerhouse economy and a constitutional monarchy with strong a strong democratic tradition. That is what we have to do in Spain and I hope that I can help.

Bluntly, yes. It means your "fair to all" thread is a hoax, that you godmodded yourself huge land tracts from one puppet to another, and you've pretty well obliterated any respect you ever had as you've decided to play in a manner inconsistant with common rules of RP on NS.

And I'm going to be ignoring both puppets as this is the second time HP has proven he can't RP, the first being the sham Sirens of Titan terrorist thread.
And don't tell me "it didn't happen". The events might have been "removed by agreement" but I was still there, still read all that garbage. HP has been awarding Guff land on his own thread, in droves. He began this whole series of events just to assuage his flagging ego. Well, yippie, as soon as the paper is signed, tah tah and "good riddence to bad rubbish".

Bah! This is exactly why I don't mess with the Earths.
Well HP... this is a surprise coming from you... oy.
And if you need peacekeepers, TIOR is great![/shameless plug] :P
If UA needs help with peacekeepers, I'll volunteer.

You're the dumbest ignoramus on the whole planet along with Chellis. Seriously, when the maker of thread says it's a waste of time and writing you still love to make references to it. And if I'm so terribly biased and my thread is junk why the fuck do you chose to RP with me? Little arrogant hypocrite. Why am I writing an explanation when lobotomy patients like yourself don't even read them?

The Dr_Twist Government Believes that Peace Keeping duties should be cut down to 2 Nations per Side, We believe that myself and Independent Hitman would be the best choice for the Peace Keeping in Spain and Portugal. Pending on UA agreement
We would like UA to put forward 2 Nations to send Peacekeeping Forces to Spain and Portugal that will be agreed on by the Allies of Europe.
We think this is the best move.
However with Spain and Chellis owning that Fort it can still be seen as Chellis Lands giving him the Ability to affectively close the straight if need be, we can’t let this happen, we must have something entered into the agreement about this Chellis Controlled fort or this will be going no were something has to be agreed on.

Intelligent Neighbors? A puppet of HP? Go and ask the mods for an IP check. We do NOT have the same owner. I never TGed Hampton about Guffingford being a puppet of HP, and whoever said that, it's plain bullshit. Who cares if we're the same? The RP was good until people like Hamptonshire fucked it up with their double moral.
Yes I am Holy Panooly, is that a problem?
There is no way that HP is IN. I've interacted with IN too much to know that its not true.

Huzen Hagen, are you still blockading the Red Sea? I'm asking because me and other nations are running the blockade as you speak. Please respond so we know whether or not you are still illegally blocking access to International Waters.

Holy Panooly, the problem with you playing multiple roles in one conflict can be shown by a board-game example.
If you want to play Risk, would you want to play against someone who gets five different color armies when you get one? They get five times the resources, five times the cards, five times the turns - and all five are functioning as one unit.
This is why what you are doing is 'against the common sense rules of consensual role playing'.
Had you brought up what you were doing in the first post, the thread would have been entirely ignored by NATO and Chellis. That you kept it a secret - and awarded land tracts to your own puppet even in your own "Fair to Everyone" thread makes it questionable as to whether you are playing to win, or playing to have a good time.
I am in this entire "Crucible" thread because I was asked to be by Chellis, whom I know will give a good game.
Small review - Guff has overwritten others claims in order to "swiftly take" as much as possible. There were attempts to move others armies and other forms of "pushyness".
So far, NATO and the UA have been sitting. No provocations, no actions of any sort against anyone. Every action has been defensive.
So far, the OpFor has had one side decide a build up against your puppet was a "build against Europe!" (utterly false); OpFor has had one member blow up his own leader in an attempt to spark a war, which was another completely false justification; and there are all these long-winded speeches about how "UA is doing this" and "NATO is doing that" - when no evidence backs up any of the allegations. As yet, UA is defending what it theirs.
And that's it.
Will I be on any of your other threads? Not knowingly, though if you don't point out they're a puppet of, it makes it difficult. At first, Guff sounded like a reasonable player - it was when the impatient rush and pushyness appeared, it became unfun.
Do you have style? Yep. Sure you do. Some good writing too. But you're out to "win" a game that can't be won, and you forget there are other people on the other side of the screen who have just as much right and justification to be here as you.
So, after this, I will be ignoring you until such time as you demonstrate you can "play well with others". This isn't an attack, it's my preference for whom I wish to play with.
Thank you for your time.
Huzen Hagen - is it your intention to perform those Acts of War which are in violation of the temporary peace accords between the two sides?
Dr Twist (etc) - is it your intention to allow those troop build ups by Huzen Hagen, or are you serious about your wish for peace?

We think this is the best move.
This is acceptable to Vastiva, though we note both the UA and AoE should keep one peacekeeping nation in, and the peacekeepers should have a balance of forces - as in, each side should have equal troops and equivalent machinery.
Furthermore, it should be stated that any attempted landing of troops from other nations, or in excess of the agreed equivalences, can be taken as an act of war by the nation performing the imbalance.
However with Spain and Chellis owning that Fort it can still be seen as Chellis Lands giving him the Ability to affectively close the straight if need be, we can’t let this happen, we must have something entered into the agreement about this Chellis Controlled fort or this will be going no were something has to be agreed on.
We still see this as a non-issue, as it was not part of the original event. We also note that Chellis does not have ownership, but holds it for the government in Morocco as stated by Chellis (we are sure there are more details in this, but are unprepared to comment further).
Therefore, again, this cannot be part of a treaty.
I was still thinking of giving this at least an end. But instead of trying to reconcile, HP/Guff goes on a flame rampage.
So, I am ignoring Holy Panooly and Guffingford. Ignoring for lying, puppeteiring(puppet-wanking), godmodding, flaming, trolling, controlling lands I don't recognize as being held by the party, being immature in general, being a bad rper, and again and most importantly, puppet wanking. Its glad not to have to care about this, wish I had done this much sooner.
ooc// (yes i know this is an ooc board)
All Armacor forces disappear... , i was expecting a decent war RP, instead its just been a flame about the peace terms without even any fighting first :-(
re the puppet thing... i think puppets are generally fine as long as they are either
1) never used in the same conflicts (eg i have my main nation at 3.8B, one at 3B, one at 2.5B etc (down to 500M) for different levels of conflict)
2) if they are in the same RP for some reason (generally only possible cause they got dragged in by different ally groups) it is either announced, or they are played in such a way that no-one can tell...
2) if they are in the same RP for some reason (generally only possible cause they got dragged in by different ally groups) it is either announced, or they are played in such a way that no-one can tell...
It would be fun to have puppets on different sides of a conflict and having them duke it out

Well, I've already slapped on the IGNORE for HP/Guffingford, so count me out of continuing this RP.
I'm now officially ignoring Guff and HP. I guess I'm out of here.

We will agree to you, but the UA will need to discuss the inclusion of IH.
We will agree to the two nations per side, but now each nation will be able to send up to 7,500 Peacekeepers.
As for the UA- Hamptonshire and Omz222.

To all those ignoring HP because of 'puppetering', exactly where is he doing that? HP is not involved in the conflict, the only posts it has made is in an ooc context. Guffingford and HP are completely unconnected icly (save for the RWC) so your justifactaion for these ignores is non-existant.
Vastiva: I signed jack shit, as did IN. The troops are peace keepers, leaving a power vacum would, in any real life situation, create mayhem. We are doing you a favor

OOC: If I might interject, I think the main problem certain players have with it is that you wouldnt all have leaped to his aid had the player not been HP.
It was Guffingfords insistance to use Holy Panoolys nation claims thread as a basis for the RP. Now that I dont recognize his land claims, and I see HP's are unfairly given to Guffingford, I don't recognize his hold of lands like that. In my mind, no one has acknowledge his lands with claims except himself, puppeteiring.

No, you're warmongering. Which you know. Please decide to realize and accept that what you do is evident by your actions. Just as much as HP/Guffingford KNEW what he was doing was "illegal" and did it anyway.
You know what you are doing is warmongering. Period, end of statement. So stop trying to play the "oh no, I'm innocent, I'm helping you" game. It doesn't work here - it's too transparent.
Now, as Chellis has decided to Ignore the whole thread, there's nothing more to discuss. Your party fails, everything goes away, there's no cause for war as now there are two different realities - one with UA in it, and one with.... let's see... the puppetwanker and his puppets; the other puppetwanker who killed his own leader to spark a war; the grossly manipulated one who can't see what was going on because of his loyalist streak; and the "we'll occupy it because it's what's right for everyone else" twins.
Huzen - ok, how about I take and sell your computer because "it's what's best for you, I'm doing you a 'favor'." Doesn't fly, does it? Please stop insulting others intellegence, it just makes this whole thing look even sillier then it has become.

It would be fun to have puppets on different sides of a conflict and having them duke it outI did that during the Sarzonian Civil War. The puppet I had at the time (now defunct) actually fought against Sarzonia.
I saw this RP becoming a flame/ignore fest from the outset. That's why I only sporadically got involved.
And herein lies the problem.
It had potential. But was marred first by the hatred HP has for NATO because he got rejected. Then this thread turned into a flamefest instead of a "lets all play a fun game, here's what is going on". Lack of respect for the OpFor is a prime indicator that it's no longer a game, but something personal. And personal really doesn't have a place in an action like this.
Being able to disassociate the OOC from the IC is one of the marks of a good RP'er. But here? Have a good reread of this thread. "Our forces are SO much bigger then yours!" (ok, so why play?), "I'm cheating, I know it, but you're not gonna find out!" (yeah, sure), "Yes, I'm puppetwanking, is there a problem with that?" (Uhm, duh)... I could go on, but to what point?
when you lose sight of "its a game meant to entertain all involved" and make it into a "Us VS Them" in OOC - well, you have a problem and it's going to kill the RP. Because the other side is not going to have fun, and if it's not fun, why play?
I mean really. Dr Twist - saying in OOC "We're going to impede the peace process while we move troops into Iberia and Spain" would have been better then all this nonsense. And it's not like we can't all read what's going on. Admit it in OOC, and move on with it. Acting like the OpFor is blind and stupid is utterly ridiculous.
As to the others occupying and upsetting the peace process - yeah, sure, like you'd do that if this was real life. You're being dweebs, you know it, we know it, everyone knows it, did you have fun?
This has all become tiring. My suggestion is to bring down the curtain on the whole thing, as Guffingford/Holy Panooly/whatever his other puppets names are has moved over to the NS board.

Vastiva: I signed jack shit, as did IN. The troops are peace keepers, leaving a power vacum would, in any real life situation, create mayhem. We are doing you a favor
Seems rather straightforward to me.
Again, as Chellis is IGNORING all this, is there a point to continuing?
