OOC: Who is in the wrong here?

Frozopia
05-02-2006, 17:59
Mckagan, Leafanistan, Red Tide2 and The Lone Alliance.
I was in a war with them, and then half way through my internet broke. I was unable to rp a response and eventually I lost my nation (it was deleted.) I could not RP a defence.

They then seized it.

Months later I re-entered Rping once again to find my land under their occupation. I was quite lenient about it at first, and decided to RP it back.
I even reclaimed the Red Tide2 and TLA sections.

But then I realised, why bother? Suddenly they had these million man armies in my old country, 1000's of defences, they even recruited my own nation to fight me. I dont see why I should fight against their god moddig.

I tried talking to them, saying handind back my nation Icily would be better than me bringing up what they did before OOCily. They just ignored me, and Mckagan even says he has blacklisted me. Worse for some unknown reason, Mckagan claimed both Red Tide and TLA could reclaim their old Frozopian quadrants. WTH?

They are quite clearly in the wrong here. Any advice? Because these guys take the piss.

Ignore them. Nothing you could do about it. They should at least let you have your populance back-persoanlly they've shown poor form in doing this too you.

ignore them and RP your nation as having been reclaimed. either that or get them to go back and have the old war again from the point where you went offline.
if they do decide to have an RP of you taking it back, or something similar, i'll back up your forces on request.

Considering that only you can RP your forces and the citizens of your nation, if they pull that, you get a nice big supply of weaponry to turn against them.

Agreed, I would simply ignore them. If they're going to be jack-headed about it, there's simply no reason why you should put up with it.

I'm in agreement with the others, by the way. But if you do choose to pursue an RP with 'em, I could always bring my MT Alternate Nation out from mothballs and stage a big fat raid on 'em. The Unfounded is somewhat... trigger-happy when it comes to dealing with illegal occupations...

I guess it could cause some problems, say when you ignore them and then you don't know what they do. Then again, there's 'taking off the ignore' button, which I guess nullifies my point.

I'm willing to start all over from the beginning, I'd hate to have a bad reputation.

Personally I see no problem with just chillling out, ignoring whatever the fuck has happened since you vanished and going back to imminent invasion all those years ago.

Crosspost from other thread:

Like I said, when you disappeared I supposed you pulled a Saharistan and abandoned it to reappear and forget about us for a while. Its happened to us SWC nations before, so we assumed the worst. I was disappointed after 2 months to see you gone and the RP I've been wanting to finish died. We can always restart.

Lets do the Time Warp again!

Nice going Frozopia. You created a perfectly neutral, unbiased thread. :rolleyes:

What happened was after the whole RP started (the original war), the whole group of nations Frozopia is pissed at waged this massive air campaign. For about a month of RL time, we strategically RP'd the destroying of most of Frozopias air, naval, and missile units. Then, one day, that just HAPPENED to be the day after we finally landed troops in the nation, Frozopia stopped responding and the nation was deleted. We decided that since he had left (for all we knew he wouldn't be back) we would just RP as having conquered and divided the nation between ourselves.

Then one day Frozopia (the player) comes back with the nation Topal and makes a thread that mentions Frozopia as a "vast wasteland," and I explained to him how we had RP'd that the nation had fallen.

The player got the account reinstated, and made a series of RP's. During these RP's he was friendly towards McKagan (at least, not hostile) and strategically got both Red Tide and TLA to pull out of the nation for various favours and deals: No problem there.

What Frozopia got mad about was that after both of those nations fell, Leafanistan and I boosted defenses to a massive level in our own quadrants of the nation. Frozopia seems to think that having ones neighbors invaded is no cause for suspicion, and didn't think we should have did that.

So eventually it worked up to a point where I was even considering just giving the Frozopian nation back; or at least just assimilating in as a peacekeeping force and letting him RP the majority of it. He started a conference, and somehow in the response Leafanistan pissed him off. The Frozopia player stated that because of TG's he'd been getting, he wasn't prepared to drop his defenses (something I requested he do, ICly, to get the conference moving.) Which effectively breaks down to him using OOC information ICly.

Regardless, I ICly stated that any attack upon Leafanistan would be met with a response from the McKagan Air Force. IMAF operates a UCAV Bombing Unit to take out mass AA units (something he was RP'ing as having); and he came in declaring that nothing was really MT. Apparently, using a bombing unit that is simply a mass produced version of something the US is testing now somehow makes me on the same level as someone who uses a Stardestroyer to take out an M1 Abrams.

Frozopia wants a wartorn PART of a nation with a fraction of the military hardware he had when we beat him the first time to be on the same technology level as a nation the size of China with a godlike economy. That's not realistic RP'ing, IMO. Now I offered to comprimise. I backed down my UCAV from being a high altitude bomber to something he could easily deal with. But he came in and starts screaming over how we'd only win because we're using technology that's not really MT. I'd like to point out that the only technology he stated to having any problems with was the UCAV; which I told him I could scale down to something he could deal with.

He expects one swift move to take the nation back. I told in OOC that if he wanted the nation back, he could simply talk politically and I'd eventually fade away. Personally, i'm not having someone declare war on me and then tell me I can't use my hardware.

I'm still on the table for RP'ing from before he made a request of the conference and effectively started a war: But he's got to be willing to admit that 1/2th of a wartorn country that just gained independence isn't going to be as advanced a fighting force as another nation. I'm not techmodding: I'm using technology that will be on the market by 2010.

If he doesn't want to work with me and wants to be so difficult, i'm just considering that none of this rebellion stuff ever started and i'll continue to use McKagan Occupied Frozopia as a Strategic Base.

To all those (tl;dr) people who don't understand yet let me clarify.

As an alliance of nations we've faced an enemy who creates massive RP wars and then suddenly drops away. We are usually left with a shattered nation to rebuild.

Frozopia seemed to be the same way, the day of our massive (personally I was landing 200,000 troops, 10 divisions) invasion, he stopped RPing. We stopped the RP, bumped it a few times, and after 2 RL months he disappeared.

He returned and RPed Frozopia as a captured occupied wasteland. Suddenly we are in the wrong.

So far I'm pissed everyone has passed judgement on us without hearing us out fully. So fuck this shit, lets just start over Frozopia. We can have a loving relationship.

Hey, I am aware that this isn't really any of my business, however it seems that the Alliance against Frozopia did the ONLY practical thing it could do. I mean, they couldn't just ignore the RP they had started, it wouldn't be practical.

On a somewhat related note:

McKagan, didn't I buy a parcel of land from you IN Frozopia? The city of Gial I believe. If you recall this, and it's valid I would be willing to join in any RP you folks concoct to fix this situation.

Again, exactly. Everyone here (without having a fucks worth of knowlege about what they're talking about) acts as if the war was just getting started and we just RP'd the rest of the way. Frozopia had like a few tanks dug in along the coasts and we were dropping in massive amounts of troops. It's not like it would have been a long war from that point. It was a VERY important RP for the development of my nation and seemed to be rapping up. The best thing to do for it was put some sort of "cap" on it so all that time wasn't wasted and the development still counted.

How many of you knew that? I bet so many of the people passing judgement were keeping track of that RP... hell, I bet alot of the people passing judgement weren't even members when that RP took place!

Hey, you're still around! Cool. I'm not sure on what we'll be doing. If we can't reach a compromise and I keep Frozopia blacklisted, then yeah, it's still yours. We may have to go back and do some other RP'ing; or RP Topal trying to invade Frozopia or something; so it's really up in the air.

If it works out with McKagan still holding Frozopia, it's yours.

In my opinion he shouldn't just declare we don't exist and then run off to start other RP's where the nation isn't occupied (or never was) without offering a way to meet in the middle on the subject. That's what I was talking about "blacklisting."

Agreed, if you ignore somebody then you stop all contact untill they repent themselves. So I would've just ended the RP in your situation and forgotten all about Frozopia, and when he had come as Topal claiming the "wasteland" i would've continued to ignore him until he was ok with starting where you guys left off.

It doesn't matter, since Frozopia never did this before you should give him the benefit of the doubt. What owuld you do if a land you worked hard to attain was taken away mid-invasion if your internet was screwed up? Obviously since the thing fizzled afterwards and the nation essentially was deleted theres no way of really knowing that Frozopia left just to gripe. Or else he could have just made a puppet sooner instead of making Topal fairly recently.

We started the invasion, ASF-10s were the designation of domestically produced F-15 Eagles until we dumped them for the NATF-22 (Swing wing F-22 for the navy) and the UC-16s were PMT fully automated fighter aircraft.

Frozopia dies at this point, we are terribly let down.

I just picked up the proverbial pieces and took part in another RP that filled the same purpose and ignored the offending parties.

McKagan, regardless of how much Frozopia appears to be/is at fault, there really isn't much you can do about it. NS if a free form environment, and therefore Frozopia can retcon and ignore anything he chooses. Though you may view it as bad form, there is nothing illegal about it.

The only thing that would concern me is this:


If he doesn't want to work with me and wants to be so difficult, i'm just considering that none of this rebellion stuff ever started and i'll continue to use McKagan Occupied Frozopia as a Strategic Base.

This can only lead to hostile feelings that may turn into a flamefest. If Frozopia wants to retain his old claims and state of his nation, then he certainly can. The rest of the community can either accept it, or ignore it, and move on.

Also note that there were essentially no bumps from him, so for all intent and purposes it did end randomly. Even if you think he could have just quit, he might not have, and since hes back you might as well give it to him. Theres no real IC reason why you should have kept going.

Ok, I can see your point...somewhat. Frozopia should've just changed to Topal and let you guys have it, instead of trying to go back to get his old territory. But still, if he's willing to start where you guys left off in the war, since the internet does jack off occasionally, it'd be the right thing to do to agree, since that's out of his control.

Lets stop the talking and consider this, we can restart the RP from before. From this point, we can even bump the thread back.

Following a vote by the Senate, we shall transmit terms of surrender to Allied Forces. They are as follows:

The Glorious Republic of Leafanistan will pull out of the conflict if:

The King and all his top level people are deported to Leafanistan as war-criminals.

The government is surrendered to allied forces and all enemy troops surrender to Allied Landing forces.

The military is to go back to peacetime activities and allow weapons inspectors to go through ALL military bases.

All P.O.W.s shall be returned to Allied Forces.

The Candrian Empire is allowed control over the reactor under the supervision of weapons inspectors.

That is all.

Just because he stopped responding, and his nation got deleted, does not mean you can simply claim his territory. That's the kind of thing yoiu see in n00b threads, where the person they've challeneged ignores them, and they simply keep advancing, oblivious to the fact that the thread isn't really a war without muyltiple players.

I personally think this is a really pointless discussion, btw. You cant just leave (accendentally or not) and then demend that the war never happened. I can understand why you might want the original war to continue from where you left off, but otherwise...

While I do agree with Leafanistan and some of what McKagan said (particularly the "listen-to-my-side-too-not-just-Frozopia" bit), I'd personally like to hear about the circumstances regarding Frozopia's Internet shutdown.

So, Frozopia, what exactly happened to your Internet?

I am not even sure myself. One of the builders who was working on my house did something to the line. When I asked my parents to ring up BT and get it fixed, they said (a trait which I have picked up e.g. I will do it tomorrow) they would do it when we got back from holiday. Of course by time we got back, they forgot, I reminded them, and then they say "Tomorow, tomorow" and then 2 months are gone.

Regarding your Internet, weren't there any other places you could go for Internet access (e.g. libraries, friends' houses, cybercafes, etc.)? Unless you live out in the middle of nowhere, I somehow doubt it would have been terribly difficult for you, at the very least, to post in the thread from somewhere else and say, "Listen, guys, my Internet's down; let's postpone the thread until I can get a stable connection again." Given that, I'd have to say the coalition wasn't exactly acting in bad form by assuming you were gone for good.

It's needless though. It's not as if we're not giving him options to start the RP again. If he chooses to simply ignore us without reason, I don't see why we can't do the same to him.

Erm...of course you can do the same, nobody said you couldn't. Any player has the right to ignore any other player for any reason. But as stated earlier by someone else, if you're going to ignore someone, you cannot pick and choose what to ignore.

If Frozopia is someone you choose to ignore, then to you they no longer exist. That means you get no colonies on their land, you get no spoils from having 'taken over' the 'vacant' space.

LEAD to hostile feelings? I don't think we've got much to lose there.

On the contrary. You guys haven't resorted to name calling and the like, so in order to keep the peace, I'd advise you guys just part ways.

What i'm saying, about any potential McKagan blacklisting of Frozopia; is that i'd ignore any future RP's he does surrounding the nation. Meaning that it wouldn't matter how the community or other people he'd RP with would accept it.

Way to state the obvious. However, the community may decide because of this that they do not want to interact with certain people involved in this incident, so on a larger scale this will inevitably have some affect.

The bottom line is this, if Frozopia decides (which he has) for any reason that he/she doesn't want to continue this RP you guys had going, then he/she doesn't have to. Wether you agree with it or not is another story, but you should at least be/remain civil about it. Just cut your losses and move on.

Frozopian - Coalition Peace Treaty

Draft

INSISTING that the illegal attack by your king was uncalled for and unnecessary especially during a peace conference.

RESPECTING the royal heritage of Frozopian culture.

ACKNOWLEDGING that mass destabilization of Frozopia would appear with the arrest of the King and his perpatrators.

ADMITTING that total war was uncalled for on both sides.

The Glorious Confederacy of Leafanistan demands $2 billion US as damages from Frozopia, no other nation may demand more than this.

The Coalition wants a formal apology from the king for attempting to murder our representatives and leaders.

The Glorious Confederacy will pull all troops out of the Frozopian Theatre and formally apologize for its part in the war.

Other Coalition forces will apologize and pull its forces out of the Frozopian Theatre.

NO reperations will be paid by Coalition forces.

The Glorious Confederacy will resume its uranium mining contract in Frozopia unhindered.

The Candrian Empire will maintain control over their reactor

NO limits will be imposed on the Frozopian Military.

Coalition forces will render all declarations of war on Frozopia as null and void.

There are to be NO limits placed on diplomatic relations between our nations.

OOC: $8-$10 billion is a cheap price for peace and an end to this silly discussion, I've tried to make it seem like its back to our old happy selves.

I would only ask that I may be included as AT LEAST a silent participent in this peace conference. Thanks.

OOC: I had a uranium contract with Frozopia before the war started. When it started I abandoned the mines, retracted my personnel and detonated the mines to prevent Frozopia from gaining easy access to it.

Though if the war never happened then I'm still happily mining there.

Here is my idea for solving this deadlock (and it makes it so it does not matter who is in the wrong).

Here is how it would go:

1) Topal and Liberated Frozopia sit down and make plans for reunification.

2) Topal/1/2 of Frozopia upgrade their weapondry (no more complainst over one side constantly having better tech).

3) Topal be allowed to RP 1/2 of Frozopia and Mckagan/Leaf be allowed to RP the other half (that way the Frozopian stats are not an unfair advantage).

4) A careful list of allies for both sides be made (equal numbers) and the RP will be closed.

5) The second Frozopian war will determine the final status of Frozopia and what happens to Topal.

Any thoughts?

Sometimes people can't control their real lives fast enough to warn everyone they are roleplaying with. Back in December of 2004 I broke my arm and basically ruined what wasn't already ruined in my war with AMF, but AMF had the etiquette to say, "That's alright, welcome back." In my War of Golden Succession SafeHaven2 had his computer fry, and he hasn't been back for a month, but he recently came back and I just said, "let's pick up from where we left off." So, in the end, it's certainly not his fault that he has a life outside of NS, and that it spun too fast for him to continue here for a while. As a player, and as it is his own account, he also has the right to choose whether or not he wants to continue where he left off - he certainly has the right to decide that his occupation while he was away was unfair and is untrue.

The only good solution can't be occupation and second war because that would fuck with flow of time too much. Far too confusing.

I suggest take the treaty and pay $8 billion (a tiny amount, I'll drop my $2 billion if you just allow me to mine) and it ends there.

Or

We pretend none of hte circumstances behind this war ever happened and just drop it forever. Which means I'm still mining.

The old war never happened, it didn't conclude the new war only started because we assumed that Frozopia had chickened out. I'm sure if that he asked for a comeback we would have said yes. Instead he created a puppet and went with it.

B. RP stands as is- add a different ending or make a ending all parties can agree on.

C. You all ingore each other and everyone goes home happy with what they want.

As for my opinion- flip a coin, do a dance, make a little love- who cares just let the RP and thread die--------------------------------------

Halberdgardia brought up a good point: In 30 days someone could find a computer to state that they wouldn't be around.

Frozopia simply doesn't want to fight this coalition because he knows he can't win (not trying to brag or ANYTHING, but stating facts,) so he's trying to deal away with us the easiest way. Personally, I think it's pretty lame.

-snip-

In my opinion it's not "selectively ignoring some things and not others," but ignoring all things that happen after a certain point. Personally, I'd rather not have an NS where people allow their accounts to be deleted everytime they're going to lose a war. Futhermore, if Frozopia wants to be so difficult, I have no difficulties in taking any "bad feelings" that might come from me ignoring the "future" of "his" version of Frozopia. I'm not going to start calling anyone names, and I don't care if someone calls me something.

From what I've read, I think the best thing to do is to negotiate a fair settlement. I think all sides are willing to move on and forget this ever happened. Ignoring could cause problems down the road if a new RP comes up that all parties want to get involved with. I think the best thing to do is to start from where they left off, or better yet, restart right at the beginning of hostilities.

I agree with you. As i've stated, i'm willing to do either one. I can ignore the whole thing or just pick up. It's Frozopia that's being difficult and won't allow things to happen. I, personally, feel that picking up is the BEST thing to do.

I can't believe all the people who continue to say Frozopia or anyone for that matter is forced to RP if he doesn't want to RP. That's not how NationStates works. If he wants to ignore the RP for whatever reason, he's entitled to. Whether it's for a valid reason or not is one thing the rest of the RP community will decide.

To put it more bluntly: If Frozopia doesn't want to RP with you and doesn't want to resume the RP or start a brand new RP, too bad.

Just so you know, announcing that you're ignoring someone on a thread, especially with as much vitriol as I've seen here might be considered flaming by the moderators. And consider this: Your stance toward Frozopia for right or wrong might be looked down upon by other members of this roleplaying community.

Agreed. And it isn't exactly helping the situation with the pro-Frozopia (so to speak) side has thrown insults like "fecking n00bs" to Leafanistan and McKagan and The Lone Alliance, whom while they have made rp mistakes long ago, if not controversial methods (more McKagan/Leafanistan's ways and mistakes, TLA doesn't do much many controversial rp mistakes and methods), are not n00bs.

While I side with the SWC, I have to say this.

McKagan, you don't want your work convincing Sarzonia to deactivate his Idiot Godmodder Noncontinuity Omni Repellent Eradicator (I.G.N.O.R.E) on you and Leafanistan and TLA, I'd say you guys back down and let Frozopia have his way. Otherwise, Sarzonia might just reactive his I.G.N.O.R.E. cannon, and several other tier rpers also sic I.G.N.O.R.E. cannons on you as well.

Wow. Sorry I was unable to RP last night, but I have a very good reason. It is called Real life sleep. We gotta remember that some of us live in England here, and this argument went all night when I had school the next morning. I apologise for my absence anyways. Velkya you could hardly expect me to stay up all night, I dont know how getting a good nights sleep puts me in the wrong.


Now Amestria's proposition. Although It does sound good, TBH I have seen enough RPing with Mckagan etc to say enough is enough. I no longer want to continue an RP with them.

However everyone does not want to do a historical blank spot with "IGNORE" written in the space instead. And although I think this makes more sense considering I am extremely unhappy with the way the war ended, I am willing to compromise.

The war ended with Leafanistan and allies occupying Frozopia and executing my royal family.

Much later Frozopia recaptured the TLA and Red Tide sections.

Frozopia then paid reparations for the return of the other two quadrants. 2bn each?

Part of the deal was for continued Leafanistani Uranium mining.

Ok? Then we can put this whole thing behind us, and no-one has black listed anyone.

Sarzonia and AMF are in the right here, folks. If Frozopia's internet connection was busted for a while, and the allied nations actually RP'ed taking over his country and even turning his forces against him, that is godmodding and completely unacceptable.

Let's face it people, NS is free form RP. This was not Frozopia's fault, and it wasn't the alliances fault either. However, as it is Frozopia's country, he can do what he wants, including retconning the entire conflict. If he doesn't want to restart a conflict or start anew, it's his choice, not theirs.

Well fuck. People might not like me. :rolleyes:

Look. I want people here to be friendly towards me. But this isn't a popularity contest. That said, I am POSITIVE that if this thread hadn't started out with a massive rant from Frozopia that everyone took as fact; people would support our side. People here are gullible and go with the wind. It's bullshit: So fuck it.

Agreed.

Right. I'm the one that has a big stain on his reputation because of this but some idiots are calling anyone who has a minor problem in an RP a noob. My personal stance is the first person who declares someone a noob or a "godmodder" (which has no place in this RP; and anyone who actualy knows what's going on will know) is the person who has the most to gain in terms of NS Maturity.

No matter what we decide to do, some people are going to view me with less respect now. It's hypocritical bullshit from people who think they run the site, I know, but just to prove them wrong, I'm willing to accept your suggestion unconditionally.

Let me just say, I'm really upset at that status of I.I. after this incident. It shows how people are willing to turn on anyone based on who makes the thread and how it's presented. It's low, it's dumb, and it makes my respect for the combined IQ of the board drop alot. There are alot of people who probably think less of me now who I really respect and will for the rest of the time here, but all the people who called me, Leafanistan, or anyone else a noob... I'm at a loss of words for the stupidity of.

I think EVERYONE is taking this too far, calling eachother 'losers' and other such names. It's all very childish.

Look, the bottom line is this:

Any player can ignore anything for any reason. End of story.

If Frozopia chooses to ignore this once and for all, then everyone else should respect that and move on. It has nothing to do with who made the thread or how they presented their story. It has EVERYTHING to do with the fact that NS is a free form environment, and therefore the individual player can decide how and with whom they play.

The Easiest way to settle this, is to have Frozopia have his nation returned to him, and the portions under control from other players, are given generic names and considered fictional nations for the sakes of Roleplaying, Mckagan and others get their cake, and so does frozopia, everyone is happy.

People seem to be getting this impression that I know where Frozopia lives and i'm going to lay a Smackdown if he doesn't bow to my wishes! I said long ago that I had no problems with simply ignoring the RP or writing up a neutral "ending" for it; but everyone seems to have heard "You better give me your land or i'ma gonna fuck you up, noob!"

I stated directly above your post, I agree to what Frozopia said. The only minor point is that 2 billion USD is a little cheap for a huge chunk of land: But the NS Community has been so prickish in this it's not even fun to talk about anymore and I just want it to end.

Nice going, everyone. :rolleyes:

With every move I make in II, some people like me more and some hate me more. However, that does not mean that I will stop or complain.

Yes it's dumb, but so was this argument in the first place. How in the name of the Forge, two Galactic Empires, and the freaking Terran Confederacy could Froz not be able to bring this up in an IM off-site? And why the endless hostility? Why are people not understanding that he can ignore WHATEVER IC stuff he wants to, and that others can in turn ignore him?

But the situation is done, and should be treated as such from now on. We're roleplayers, supposedly more civilized than the run-of-the-mill linebacker. I think people here should be able to be calm and act like nothing ever happened here and move on.

ASIDE: I got 2 mentions in this post, and unknowingly I'm sure! I'm both the Terrans, AND a Lineman(close enough for Gov't work, which is the stock-in-trade of NS)!

I think we should really have this thread locked... It served all the purpose it's going to,m and has devolved into a pointless argument.

You aren't the only one in this thread you know. :rolleyes:

My statement was applied to all, on both sides of the argument.

Which is why I said ANY player can ignore anything for any reason. If you weren't so rash and defensive, you'd know what I was saying. There's no rule that says you can't ignore Frozopia, and anyone who says otherwise must not know how RP on NationStates works.

I had this exact same thing happen to me on another site: I came to NS to spend more time because I ended up reduced to a point of near tears by bullies on another site and it's happening here too!

I can't take this.

Anyone who wants to continue to be a dick can fuck off. I'm done with this thread.
