The young Arabic Muslim man looked at the large structure they had completed begin to work its way deeper into the sand. The men around him, about a dozen looked tired and greasy and dirty as it had taken them a month at only 3 dollars a day to work on this large strucute. However they did not complain because they would receive a benefit of 3,000 dollars if this structure got oil. The Black gold of the Arab world.

The young Arabic man, covered his face with his scarf as a large duststorm picked up but then he began to feel the ground shake. Several of the men looked around as black liguid shot up from the strucutre. Oil had been found. The men were happy ansd tired shouts of glee rose up from the hard working men as claps on the back occured.

Ingush, Capital of South Tahini:

President Amir Rasini looked happy at the map as the foreigner, of Western descent explained to him that pipes 15, 11, 1, 6, 7, and 20 had struck oil in the Milar region of South Tahini, and if the other 15 lines came online, there could be around 200 million barrels of oil in that one small region alone, estimating around about 500 billion dollars in resources.

"Well, this would be able to pull the majority of South Tahinians out of poverty and build this capital city into one to be recognized, Rasini Said.

The man nodded and handed the President of South Tahini as contract stating that 15% of the profits would go to the company, and any foreign interests interested in the oil fields of the new country. Which President Rasini signed.

TeleGram from the OCP Corporate Office

To: President Amir Rasini
From: OCP Vice-President R. Johnson
Subject: Oil Contract

OCP would like to open a contract with your nation to begin the export of your oil to our company/nation. We can offer you a price of $60 per barrel. Also, as a trade partner of OCP, you would recieve discounts at all participating OCP companies. (OCP Company List (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=486275))

We agree to your agreement. If you would like to send a trade delegation to finally sign the agreement.

The small island nation of Istanico would be happy recipents of South Tahini and Omni-Consumer_product oil and would be prepared to pay 25 to 35 dollars per barrel to have some shipped to our island chain.

700 Griffincrest soldiers stood aboard C-130 transport planes as they passed over South Tahini.

"Alright men, you know the drill. We HALO into the oil fields, capture them, and wait for word from the higher ups. Lets do this!" the commander shouted over the wind and the engines. The rest of the men gave a "HOORAH!" in support, before one by one diving out the open hatch of the plane.

Methinks I should get involved in this one.

Maye try and keep this from looking like the CA sacking of Khornate tribes...

In te meantime, tagged, bagged, and under observation.

OOC: I wouldn't call it sacking... sure, we enslaved the populace and dispersed the resources... and there was the matter of my nuking a bunch of horse riding barbarians... but I still wouldn't call it sacking!

To: President Amir Rasini
From: OCP Vice-President R. Johnson
Subject: Oil Contract

A Contract Negotiator will be sent right away to finalize and sign the contract. Also, as an OCP trading partner, we offer you military protection should you ever need it.

OOC: I haven't agreed to my resources being stolen. I think that is unfair and you can agree to share the oil or be a foreign nation that might want to set up their own oil fields with South Tahini resorces. But to invade my land is unfair. Especially at its small state.

IC:

We hope to see the arrival of your representative to negotiate the deal. And to the people of Instanico we believe that it is would be okay if the Omni-Consumer-Product government agrees.

Sadly, the de facto "new forum rules and etiquette" pretty much condones Blackhelm's behavior, whether you give him permission to invade or not is beside the point.

Feel free to cry foul though, both ICly and OOCly.
As there are a number of institutions willing to B-slap Mr. Griffencrest.

Istanico, OCP is willing to accept your offer. A percentage of the oil we recieve from South Tahini will be sold to you at a price of $30 per barrel.

The 700 parachutes filled the sky as they glided gently down towards the oil fields. The men all quickly cut themselves free and grabbed their weapons. A defensive perimeter was set up almost immediatly as the C-130's turned around and dropped out supplies and 10 Mercury AFV's. Within the hour, the oil fields would be theirs.

Blackhelm...he already said that he was going to ignore this.

On what grounds? Because he doesn't feel like losing? Should I ignore your forces in TWSP? I don't feel like losing men.

Because he's knew and he wants to get his feet under him and figure out the basics of the site before he goes to war?

Don't ask me why he said that. I don't have control over whatever he does.

And don't act sarcastic with me because of what he said. Holy shit.

Sorry for getting snappy. Didnt mean that. Long day. I apologize.

OOC: Like the nation of Lroon said. I am not interested in combat right now because I don't know how to post a fight. I am watching other threads right now and the quides and I don't want my first battle a slaughter.

So I will not abide by the posts of your nation and continue on with the thread as an oil agreement thread with other nations.

OOC: not realy your choice, he is not god modding. thus no truely horendous etiquette error has he faulted although most would look with scorn upon this move.

A nation/person can ignore someone if he/she wishes. It doesn't matter on Etiquette or not. It's a persons choice.

OOC: last thing i will say, i don't wish to highjack this thread. He may do this but some people, myself included would not wish to RP with him afterwards. you can't just shut out the world if it isn't going your way.

Dude, you could take over his nation with a butter knife ight now.
How good of an RP could tat be when you replace the butter with bullets?
Let his nation mature a little, then declare war on him.
You could also simply buy the whole country at les cost than mobolising your army.
A person like Griffencrest would understand this.

But if Griffencrest insist on only attacking new players, I believe that will soon be the only group he would be able to sucker into RPing with him.

South Tahini, in addition to our new trade agreement, we can also offer your new nation military protection from OCP and our parent nation, United Delta.

I wouldn't worry too much. Griffencrest knows the moment he kills the first man he's going to have a whole load of nations on his back like a sack of bricks.

A) It is bad form to just ignore an attack, even though you can.
B) He'd have no trouble getting allies to counter Blackhelm. If he went along with it this could have been a good rp.

Bad form or not, he can do it if he wishes.

It is also bad form to attack every new nation that pops up.

I guess you never saw what happened in Chitzeland and Khornate tribes.

Passing of the Monarch is also getting fairly sappy, though I guess it could be made into a decent war thread, except nobody wants a war.

Both are now using WMD on comparitively small landscapes.

If he doesn't ignore he has a 75% chance of getting glassed, and a 30% chance that the war will never end.
I pretty much pulled those percentages from nowhere...
Just how certain I am that the RP would be crap.

OOC: It would be harder to ignore if Blackhelm hadn't staged his initial declaration in 3 lines. I think I know what way this will go.

ooc: And without any preparation... just saying they were there. In fact, it was a GM which is worthy of ignoring.

FROM: Confedercy of Ocion

The Confederacy of Ocion offers its protection to you should you require it to defend your nation from those who would take your hard earned wealth by force.

Foreign Minister
Confederacy of Ocion

OOC: Don't worry, Blackhelm is negotiable. Besides the Griffencrest Corporation is invading, they are a second-class army in terms of NationStates and with 700 HALO troopers. Let them take some land, then offer him a share of the oil.

Even a field valued at 5-10 million barrels of oil will make him rich.

And Blackhelm, I recommend you take it or else this will go nuts.

ooc: Is intro still be a GM and thus legitimately ignored.

OOC: I've beaten Griffencrest forces before with my old nation that was far less powerful than this one.

And who, may I ask, is your old nation?

OOC: Why not just have made an idle threat BC? You know, the "gimme oil or I will shitstomp you"?

And who, may I ask, is your old nation?

OOC: Hydac, who I STILL can't log in with because of Jolt's technical issues. I had so many good RPs planned too.

Hydac..I had a feeling that was you. Keep in mind, you did not beat me. The Xeno drove us to a ceasefire.
