[ooc:] Besides the godmodding, you could also explain why you're declaring war on him. And maybe how you expect to defeat a nation so many times larger than yourself....

OOC: Hold on a second, people. It looks like a case of godmodding, but we've not heard from Ald Rhun so can't be sure that s/he's not agreed to it, can we? And while a little background would be nice, it may develop over coming posts leaving this as a snippet of an introduction, for all we know at this point. Further, there's no need for anybody to explain how they expect to win against difficult odds: Eritrea is plenty belligerent towards its fifteen fold larger neighbour and has survived war with it, and Pol Pot thought he could take on Vietnam!
I mean, you're probably right, but if it were me I would appreciate the benefit of the doubt to begin with.

OOC: Considering that I can personally attest that Ald Rhun has been asleep in his dorm room since 10:45 Central last night, I sincerely doubt he's agreed to having a vessel sunk. Secondly, I also doubt a single Exocet is going to sink one of his ships, let alone hope to hold out when your nation is facing someone whos military is more than twice the size of your nation.

Ammend the first post, won't you? Hell, you don't even know what an Ald Rhun frigate would do upon having you fire a warning shot.

OOC: Yep, that would be a godmode. Sorry to hear you feel it necessary to continue harboring terrorists, but if you do insist on resorting to war, we will bring all measures at our disposal to bear. Kindly rewrite your post, or I can just respond from where the warning shot was fired.

In defense of Driverco, he never mentioned WMDs.
