In the early hours of this morning many thousands of people took to the streets in the centre of Tridon Tailva's capital. They were protesting over the recent hostilities with Dumpsterdam calling an end to the war. But when protesters smashed down the royal gate and gained entrance to the palace troops had no choice but to open fire. Almost 200 protesters were killed with almost 500 indured. It has been called a massacre by many countries across the world and the UN has called it a disaster the king is now asking for other countries to support him and voice there opinions about the massacre.

Slaytanicca is absolutely disgusted with your apparent distain for human life.

Official statement from Hardheads foreign ministry
We are appalled by the actions of the kingdom of Tailva. Surely there must be a better way to convince protesters other than firering on them. The high death toll, and the fact that there is no mention of police casualties shows, categorically, that this was a peacefull protest.

The Empire of Tanthan wishes to announce: "I have no strong feelings one way or the other."

OOC: Shame on you, you don't NEED to kill them, just use non-lethal weapons like tazers, rubber bullets and laser which makes them feel as if their skin in on fire and they are boiling from the inside out, its more humane as the UN believes.

Armed Military States strongly condemms these acts of slaughter, and stands steadfast with resolve, that if it is allowed to continue, the AMS will have no choice but to declare war and liberate the people of Tailva. We strongly hope that these issues can be reached peacefully, and that war is a last option. We are mobilizing our forces on standby, however, just in case.

...But when protesters smashed down the royal gate and gained entrance to the palace troops had no choice but to open fire...

Hear, Hear, good show, any mob that turns violent should be put down. Though I do argee that nonviolent means should be used to control the human capital they are your drones and not mine.

The Golencian President Announces:

The only crime the King had was his own defense. Although the number of people that were killed were substantial, it was neccesary for the Kings life. Golencia frowns on the war, but the actions of the Guards were necesary.

However, in time the people grow tired of their king and wish to overthrow him. If this happens to the Talvia King then he will be able to seek refuge in Golencia. I have no respect for Monarchy, however i dislike Anarchy even more

The Empire of Tanthan wishes to announce: "I have no strong feelings one way or the other."

OOC: Shame on you, you don't NEED to kill them, just use non-lethal weapons like tazers, rubber bullets and laser which makes them feel as if their skin in on fire and they are boiling from the inside out, its more humane as the UN believes.

OOC: OMG. Tanthan, you stole that straight from Futurama.

The high death toll, and the fact that there is no mention of police casualties shows, categorically, that this was a peacefull protest.

Even though he clearly said that the protesters "smashed down the gates"? Despite this, I condemn these actions by Tailva, and will not hesitate to take actions should something of this magnitude take place again. Justice will be served.

The Goverment of Drizzts Army is disgusted about the killing of protesters, but if you really need to protect the royal palace from angry protesters, we suggest reforming your security within your goverment to be safe from a uprising

When protestors become nothing but an angry mob, and have nothing but kill on their minds, they need to be stopped, and as the king said they were Hostile. Golencia will aid the King in refuge, or against an Invasion, depending on the circumstances of this repeating itself.

OOC: What i mean is another massive killing happens for no reason, i wont support, but if a massive killing happens when they're hostile i will

***In the early hours of morning, aboard the USS Freedom***
"Fleet Admiral, were approaching the nation of Tailva, what are your orders?"

This was the Fleet Admiral's first assignment after being promoted to his position, but he was steadfast in what he was going to do and was to follow his orders to the letter. He turned to the young sergeant, "Prepare for a type 3 blockade, make a ring out of the ships around their pathetic little nation. I may be a man of war but i do not support mass homicide."

With a crisp salute, the sergeant says, "Yes, Sir!"

The imperial forces begin to form a circle, breaking off in either direction to engulf the tiny nation in their massive circle. Orders were ripped across encoded communications throughout the fleet.

Secret IC:
**Coded Transmission**
To: Fleet Vessels
From: Fleet Admiral Al Yankovic

Today we embark on a great duty. We shall crush the economy of this unstable nation as a warning to them that we will not tollerate mass murder. They have been given a warning way ahead of time that this was going to happen. It's their turn to make a move. Remember our national motto, live by it, fight by it, die by it! "Harm one, Harm us all!"
**End Coded Transmission**



OOC: This is a few tips for Tailva. When someone says "Secret IC" it means that it is in character but secret, and you should not play as if you know this information, because you may read it but your Characters don't know any of it. "IC" means that the information is available for anyone. "OOC" means that what is said is "Out Of Character" and is in no way relivant to the Role-play. Just to sort that stuff out for you.

The government of the Holy Empire Of Shinbreakers fully supports Taliva in its actions, and will offer aid and military support in the case of an invasion. The King has every right to defend himself when he is in danger. Any military action taken against Taliva will be met with full resistance.

Our forces are fully ready by now, and we would hope and wish to work diplomatically and peacefully with the King of Tailva to try and work out it's people's problems, and to ensure that noone dies as a result of senceless slaughter. If this killing is allowed to continue, and the voices of the people of Tailva continually hushed, then Tailva can consider the Armed Military States to be an enemy. We, however, would hope that it does not come to that, and are fully committed to working this out peacefully. We hope that Tailva feels the same way.

*** Official statement from the FCD Foreign Ministry ***

Even though we undertstand the need to defend the king during the circumstances, the Federation disagrees with the methods used. Using lethal violence where a non-lethal solution is possible is just a shameful waste of human lives. The ministry also urges the Tailvan government to avoid events like this in the future, in the interest of your nations safety, as other nations are sure to react violently if this is kept up.

In light of this announcement by the King of Tailva, the Sarzonian government announced that the delivery of a Nanticoke-class heavy carrier to Tailva will be delayed indefinitely.

"We are not going to be a party to the wanton disregard for life on the part of Tailva," a Gray House spokesman said. "We will not trade with a country that willfully suppresses dissent in this manner."

Construction of the Nanticoke-class carrier will continue, but Defense Department officials say they may commission the carrier themselves unless Tailva changes its policies.

"They've shown they can't be trusted with a little bit of weaponry," a source in the DoD said. "We're going to ask [Vice President for Business and Commerce] Janis Hedge to begin a full inquiry into the Portland Iron Works' background checking mechanisms when she returns from Isslemere."
