Salutations leaders of the world,

I wish today to bring to light an action of open war against the Federation of Eurasian Socialist Republics and the Federal Republican Duchydom of Franberry. Diplomatic communications between our two nations have been spied upon by elements of the Empire of Shazbotdom, itself steeling itself for open war over mere bandying of words. They have spied, and, humorously, betrayed their intrigue by offering a reactionary response to what was said.

The self-titled Empire is obviously frightened of us. They fear the change that a true communist society would bring down upon their "Empire." They fear us so much that they even spy on a Republic, generally considered to be the ideological opponent of Communist nations. This fear highlights the power true Marxism holds over the heads of its leaders.

As Marx said, our aims "can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions." Your ignorant, backwards nation represents these conditions and attempts continuosly to undermine the efforts of Eurasia as it seeks to spread the light of Communism to the workers of the world. You embrace the non-democracy of Questers, where only while landowning males may vote. You embrace the monarchy in Clandonia Prime. You stand against everything held within the Manifesto of the Communist Party.

Therefore, let it be known across the world that a state of war exists between the Federation of Eurasian Socialist Republics and its allies and the Empire of Shazbotdom. As Khrushchev said long ago, We will bury you. You will find no recourse against the forces of the glorious revolution. Your streets will run red with the blood of your cowardly leaders, who hide behind the millions of their industrialist empires rather than face true challenges head on. Your skies will become black with the fires of destruction, your people shall understand the folly of their government, and you shall fall. Workingmen of all countries, unite!

-Aleksandra Gorbachova, Premier of The Federation of Eurasian Socialist Republics

As a result of this declaration of war by regicide Bolsheviks against a congruous capitalist nation, the United States of Cawales sanctions a tariff against all import coming into the USC from The Federation of Eurasian Socialist Republics.

Dictated but not signed.

(OOC: Agh, being kicked out of internet cafe, just a tag, then!)

As much as we'd like to wade in, fists a-flying, and start hitting metaphorical chairshots on all involved, we have targets of our own that demand killing. And besides, Shazbotdom will probably roll up and smoke your various nations with as much difficulty as breathing. That doesn't necessarily mean we won't bomb the crap out of the loser at the end for war crimes, though.

[NB: It's Khrushchev.]

Official Communique from the Office of the Kostemetsian General Secretary

To the Federation of the Eurasian Socialist Republics:

As a peaceful democratic socialist state, we would normally sympathise with your cause. Power to the people is an admirable ideal, and for your far-reaching vision in this case we salute you.

However, your far-reaching vision may not have seen far enough in your declaration of war on Shazbotdom. With seven-point-two billion people, Shazbotdom has ample ability to topple both your nations to the ground.

We believe that Shazbotdom and all other nations are entitled to their own form of government. If they choose to have a monarchy, that is their decision, not yours.

On that note, the Unified Republic pledges to dedicate military aid to the Dark Empire of Shazbotdom as and when they request it. Power to the people is an admirable ideal - but national sovereignty takes precedence.

To remind you of your current tactical situation, the armed forces of Shazbotdom have overwhelming strength, even against your formidable alliance. We wish you well, but would advise you to break off this war now rather than face the Empire's wrath.

Yours sincerely,

OOC: This is an open communique so all can read it.

Official Communique from the Empire of the Wolf to Aleksandra Gorbachova

Now, I'm no communist myself but I can see that you have made some rather key errors. Clearly you learnt your Marxism from yet another soapbox preacher, as your kind often do.

Let us begin the lesson.

they even spy on a Republic, generally considered to be the ideological opponent of Communist nations

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought *all* types of government that weren't communist are by default the ideological enemies of communism. Fascism was considered to be the most dangerous of ideologies by the Comintern, so much so that the Comintern was willing to form Popular Fronts to combat it. It even crawled into bed with capitalism to defeat it.

As Kruchev said long ago, We will bury you

1. It's spelt 'Kruschev'
2. That comment can be taken many ways, personally I believe he was referring to the supposedly inevitable victory of Communism over all other ideologies and thus that he would be present at the funeral, as opposed to advocating aggressive extermination.
3. Using a failed leader of a failed regime as an example or threat is neither inspiring nor intimidating.

Workingmen of all countries, unite!

Shouldn't that be 'international proleteriat' and all that? I thought that there were no divisions but class and that women had just as much place in the labour movement as men.

There we go, that's the ideological critique. Now onto the rest of this drivel you call a 'speech'.

This fear highlights the power true Marxism holds over the heads of its leaders.

So spying = fear? Strange, I thought espionage was just yet another step in the dance of international relations.

Your ignorant, backwards nation

Oh dear, that was not very clever. I think those words may return to haunt you in the future.

You stand against everything held within the Manifesto of the Communist Party.

Why yes, yes I do. My nation and many others stands for private property, for a sensible regulation of the press, for the chance to be rewarded for the work you have done.

Therefore, let it be known across the world that a state of war exists between the Federation of Eurasian Socialist Republics and its allies and the Empire of Shazbotdom

Fool.

You will find no recourse against the forces of the glorious revolution

The Shaztbotdom armed forces will do for starters I believe, good luck trying to fight them.

hide behind the millions of their industrialist empires rather than face true challenges head on

Ah, so a true challenge is engaging in a vulgar street brawl of the type that communists are famous for? Only a coward or a weakling would make such a taunt, as it shows that you fear the true strength of your enemy.

Your skies will become black with the fires of destruction, your people shall understand the folly of their government, and you shall fall

That's funny, I thought fire was a mixture of orange or red. Oh well, maybe you're colourblind. Nice rhetoric though, at least Marxism can do that well.

Anyway, I have no intention in getting involved in your senseless war. You will fall, and we will laugh.

Our most recent insurgency with these so-called communists have produced many prisoners-of-war.

Their backs will be covered with our guns; their families hostage. As a final check on their loyalty, they will be snared with neck-bombs that would detonate upon failure to report to daily attendance checks. We assure you, that the 10,000-strong Redemption Brigade will fight for the glory of capitalist dreams ... not liberal pipe-dreams which come at the REAL COMMON MAN'S expense.

Just give me some time to figure out what I want to say and how to word it before I post anything.

Her Imperial Majesty's Government is most distressed to see the Communists making attempts at overthrowing legitimate government. If the workers living in Shazbotdom wished to rise up, they likely would have before.

Do this, we urge you, before needless bloodshed takes place.

Although I prmose, that the IC message will contain no vulgar language of any type even though i'm going to RP my nations leadership as agitated, near angry, about this whole situation.

OOC: Considering the initial offense was against me, I would gladly join this war, but I am off to the beaches of Uruguay tomorrow. So, best of luck to ESR, I'll join if this is still going when I get back.

It's always interesting to see how many posts spool before the other two involved parties get a chance to post anything. II never sleeps I guess. Anyways, I'd appreciate a bit of a lull while Franberry is off, as he's one of the three parties actually in question. No clusters please, my days in FT have somewhat dulled my taste for them.

When I get a chance to sit down and read through it all, I'll post diplomatic replies to the pertinent posts.

To: The Eurasians
From: The Grand World Order Archive of Politics, the Office of Foreign Affairs

Communism has been proven as an ineffective economy system unless you can nearly completely devote your military to enforcing it. Also keep in mind that Socialism is not Communism. At the GWO, we are semi-Capitalist, and semi-Socialist. The government takes part in water, energy, and other vital industries, but so do Private organizations. Fascism is one of the ideas we believe in, just to throw that out there. You claim you are fighting for rights and freedom, when Communism is the exact opposite. Not only that, but Communist nations have been known to attempt to force their systems on other countries, making them the so-called "Empires" they strive to overthrow. However, Communism is not a Democracy, which is good, and they must have a strong military, which is also good.

I ask you to reconsider your actions before you make a mistake that you will regret.

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE
FROM THE OFFICE OF THE SUPREME EMPEROR
MR. LARRY WILLIAMS
_____It is with these gravest circumstances that war must come to afront due to the tyrannical warmongering ways of a national leadership. I wished that my first major decision after my election to the position of Supreme Emperor be the reinstatement of the Imperial Parliament, which that vote was to take place between the Joint Chiefs of Staff and myself within the next 48 hours time, but with this official declaration of war against the Shazbotdom Empire by the tyrannical, warmongering leadership in charge of The Federation of Eurasian Socialist Rep, that vote will have to be put off for a short time more.

_____This Declaration of war has also set off some major alarms across the Shazbotdom Empire; Be it from the smallest towns to the biggest cities. People are worried. And they are not only worried about their land, but also the safety of the Empire as well as the safety of those good men and women who have pledged their lives to the defense of the Shazbotdom Empire from all enemies, both foreign and domestic. With this Foreign threat rearing it's ugly head in the direction of the Shazbotdom Empire, those who are in harms way are the ones we must worry about the most. Those civilians who may be harmed by the rather psychotic militaries of The Eurasian Socialist Rep are to be protected in every way possible.

_____It was over 400 years ago today that the first people settled on this otherwise unknown piece of land that has been called Shazbot Island. When they cut down the first trees in this same exact spot to create Shaz City. No one knew then that this island of ours in the middle of no-where would one day become a great nation of equality and equity. Where both men and women alike would get the same hourly wages for doing the same job.

_____Now though, someone threatens that way of life. And that someone is attempting to thrust onto us the tyrannical teachings of a leader who thinks that our way of life is not for us. Who is this man to decide what form of government that our people want? Who is this man to dictate what OUR people want? The people of the Shazbotdom Empire decided what form of government they wanted in the last election. The majority of the people of the Shazbotdom Empire chose the two Socialist Parties, with the Shazbotdom First party winning with just a slight lead over the Socialist Shazbot party. These are the people who are to dictate who is the correct leadership of the Shazbotdom Empire, not a foreign leader who thinks that he is Gods gift to politics.

_____Let it be known that on this day, 28 January 2015 of the Shazbotdom Calendar, a state of war now exists between The Shazbotdom Empire and The Federation of Eurasian Socialist Republic. This declaration of war will only be withdrawn if The Federation of Eurasian Socialist Republic withdraws their Declaration of war. Our Defenses are ready. But I do have one question for you. Are you ready for this?

OOC:
Expect a message from me within the hour.

((OOC: Me or somebody else, cause I think jolt just timewarped.))

To: The Dark Empire of Shazbotdom
From: The Grand World Order Office of Foriegn Affairs

After a breif review over the situation, the GWO Government has decided to help you defend your country, and if it comes, invade the Eurasians. We will be deploying Army personnel to help defend your nation, as well as 200 Special Tactics Force Agents to protect your capital. Currently, we have our minds set on a defence force of about 70,000 Army Personnel, along with a fleet from the NAvy to manage shipping, and to further protect the island from invasion. About 120 Air Force Fighters will be deployed, along with 30 anti-ship craft, which are loaded with Cesium powder and torpedoes specifically designed for larger ships. If any further support is needed, feel free to ask.

((OOC: Me or somebody else, cause I think jolt just timewarped.))

OOC:
That was just a general warning to all those involved.

Somewhere in the Sinhala Soviet State at the southern end of the great Indian Soviet Commonwealth of Beddgelert, comrades discussed the brewing war between the hot-headed Eurasians and the hordes of stupid reaction, but it took some time for the people of the Hewasandatchige 9th of October Phalanstery to get past the international debate on how to properly spell the name of a deceased Bolshevik. Most found it quite amusing that bourgeois elements felt the need to point out just how the Russian name ought to be spelled, as if the Romanised form were not a translation. Khrushchyov would do just as well as Khrushchev, or Khrushchov, and if the ESR wishes to spell it Bananahammock then so be it!

When the many communes -the Commonwealth is estimated to have almost seven million- got by such asides, they were able to agree upon a course of action.

Statement by the Final Soviet, Raipur

It is, according to the minutes of a recent session in the beating heart of true democracy, very much the wish of Soviet Beddgelert to see revolutionary progress bring enduring liberty, equality, and prosperity to the people of the ESR and to experience the growth of camaraderie between they, the Beddgelen people, and the international community of those who toil.

While many in India wish to see the deployment of Soviet forces to the defence of an apparently outmatched Eurasia, the Soviet Commune can not agree to become an enabling factor in such unwise and poorly timed acts of aggression by lesser Communist powers such as the ESR.

The Commonwealth as such must make its voice amongst the first to call for multilateral re-evaluation of the present situation.

It is in the interests of Socialist economies to protect their worldly ilk lest more workers and consumers fall to the market storm and further isolate potentially strong states such as Beddgelert. It is, equally, in the interests of the involved Communist nations to pick their battles and avoid bringing to bear against them in isolation all the military force that may be produced by a global bourgeoises.

This stands as an appeal by the Indian Soviet Commonwealth for a Eurasian climb-down from the military position and a return to diplomatic and economic action, and carries with it a promise of support and protection in return for such a step and a general warning to the forces of reaction.

The Commonwealth also adds some standard scoffing at capitalist propaganda targetting Communist economics and democracy. Soviet India is, after all, more free than all and more wealthy than perhaps 99% of the world's market-driven nations.

(OOC: In short, mostly diplomatic waffle from Raipur. We're not going to join Eurasia's suicide charge, but if they abort military action and pursue other means of righting wrongs in this case, the Soviets will attempt to back them diplomatically, economically, and militarily against aggression after that point.)

And to Shazbotdom, being a recently liberated country, we naturally value freedom. You seem more free than ESR, and them being the aggressor, we've decided to support you. Any aid we can offer, you will receive. I think we could spare about 100 tanks and 10,000 men, as well as air support in the form of 50 bombers. On the event on invasion, these will be sent to you straight away.

Official Message from the United States of Allanea


To the insignificant communist vermin of Eurasia!

Who the hell do you think you are, to threaten our allies in this manner? Do you want to bring your communism to the world throuh agression? Do you want to eradicate private property? Do you want, in short, to keep polluting the world with your Marxoid scumbag ideals?

Well, here's news to you, idiots. The Allaneans will not allow your stupidity to proceed further uninhibited. We are hereby offering our allies in Shazbotdom the help of 5 Force-Projection Battlegroups, 10 carrier battlegroups, and 50 additional Arsenal ships, who are all now en route for maneuvers just outside Shazian waters.

Citizens of Eurasia, we are kind and merciful. We recommend that you surrender now. If you do, we promise that we will do all in our power to ensure you're treated nicely.

That is all.

May God Bless Allanea.

Nearing Shazbotdom Waters

The fleet of GWO ships, lead by the Super Dreadnought Heaven's Staircase, were nearing Shazbotdom's waters. Thus, as to be polite, they sent a message to Shazbotdom's branch for Ports, requesting a harbor to land at.

FOXTROT ECHO DELTA-GOLF WILMA OSCAR SHIP #132, FWS HEAVEN'S STAIRCASE REQUESTING PORT AND DOCK FROM SHAZBOTDOM PORT CONTROL BRANCH. INCLUDING REQUEST FOR OTHER PORTS FOR OTHER SHIPS WITHIN FLEET. ALSO INCLUDING REQUEST FOR USE OF AIRBASES NEAR CAPITAL FOR DEFENSE AIRCRAFT AND TROOP DEPLOYMENT. PLEASE RESPOND A.S.A.P.

A single C-130, 10 B-1B Lancers, and 15 AC-130s, were preparing to take off from GWO Airbases. The planes required too much landing and takeoff space for any aircraft carrier to suffice. However, the airbases in Shazbotdom would also be used by GWO Fighter jets, obviously, if the permission was given.

((OOC: SICs always make me get a bad feeling, lul))


As soon as the message was recieved, the fleet began moving in. Jets were taking off of the decks of Aircraft carriers to take defensive positions in the said airbases, and the larger aircraft from home took off. The ships docked in the bay, and the side-doors on the transport ships slowly dropped to form a ramp between the ships and the docks. APCs filled with infantry were first, escorted by BMW motorcycles with armed sidecars. As soon as they rolled down the ramp, they quickly headed off of the dock to prevent crowding. Most of the remaining the infantry crowded on top of Divine Tiger Tanks, which was the nearly infamous form of quick transport used excessively by the GWO. After those units dispersed across the country, most heading for the cities, the HPACVs were brought out. They were massive and designed exclusively for Urban warfare, and weren't easy to get out of ships. They had to be taken via truck convoy to their target location, due to their sluggish speed. But for what it lacked in speed, it made up for in pure strength and armor. Of course, that speed meant that if they weren't in the close confines of a city, they were sitting ducks to aircraft and artillery. The anti-ship planes, filled with Cesium powder and carrying torpedoes, stayed on the aircraft carriers, which headed for the enterance of the bay, along with the rest of the combative ships.

The heavy aircraft from the GWO were nearing Shazbotdom airspace, and quickly announced their arrival. The C-130 was the plane filled with Special Tactics Force Agents, who were to protect the government in the Capital.

Official Statement of the Federal Republic of Hamilay

The Republic strongly advises the FESR to stand down. As you can see, Shazbotdom and its allies are at present far more numerous than yours. The burying will be done by us; Hamilay now counts itself as one of these allies through the Confederacy of Sovereign States. As a token of our support for Shazbotdom, we will be deploying the 14th Air Force to assist in their defence, should they accept. However, we remain confident that Shazbotdom and her allies will be able to destroy ESR with little trouble. Should victory be uncertain, the forces of the Hamilayan military will be ready to assist you.

ooc: apologies for the delay, had to take time to dig through all of the posts and school doesn't agree with that. Well guys, alliances are adorable, but dogpiling is bad form, and my tolerance of dogpiles is less than zero. (it's on level with my tolerance of bad RPing, which is the other reason I'm writing this) As such, allies and other unconcerned parties are invited to post pretty diplomatic messages and keep themselves quiet AKA not involved. That's my condition for the rest of this RP. Apologies for this post, it's not the best but it's what I've got at the moment.

Salutations Mr. Larry Williams,

I have little inclination to bandy words about with one such as yourself. I hope the irony of a nation with a "Supreme Emperor" being a member of this "Soviet Commonwealth" is not lost upon you, but this is but a small humor against the vast tragedy ahead.

As is only proper, you are given one last ultimatum before we begin: stand down unconditionally, abdicate your position, and prepare for liberation by enlightened Marxist theory. Refusal to do so will result in the immediate termination of your oppressive regime.

You have forty eight hours to decide.
-Aleksandra Gorbachova, Premier of the Federation of Eurasian Socialist Republics

Across the nation, all work suddenly stopped. Every ear was glued to a radio or loudspeaker, drinking in every word said. It was time for war, war against the enemy of Socialism. The Imperialists marched to war against the Federation, and so the Federation began its steady mobilization against these. Already the most basic preparations had begun, from initial conscription to the issuing of weapons.

Every man, woman, and child stood poised for the nation. Indoctrinated within inches of their collective sanity, the population needed merely the word and the kind barrel of a political officer behind them to comply completely, obey absolutely, and risk all for the perpetuation of collectivist theory.

The war machine ground slowly onward.

Official Statement of the Revolutionary Commonwealth
As many others in the Confederacy of Sovereign States have asked, I must as well; have you taken leave of your senses Comrade Gorbachova? You see fit to keep your nation so backward that it must rely on shoddy coding for others to talk down to it in their chastisements of you, for your vain adherence to the most literalist form of Marxism-Leninism I've seen in recent acquaintances among the nations, and then get all upset when others manage to see through that coding (as if they could avoid this) and take it as a casus belli. I trust I should be familiar to you ma'am, for I've addressed your international foolery before and I must confess that it is becoming all too tiring; rapidly.

Frankly, my nation does not shirk its' obligations, so we will see fit to deploy what forces are appropriate to assist in the defense of Shazbotdom our Confederate ally; should you be so stupid as to actually risk the likely annihilation of your forces against the coalition you would face attempting any invasion. We would ourselves prefer this were resolved diplomatically, but that depends as much upon you Premier as it does upon Supreme Emperor Williams. No harm was ever had by all sides showing cool heads; but since your side raised the controversy where it could've simply chosen to ignore such, the burden of first coming to sense naturally falls upon you. Until then, we will honor our obligations where and as we must.

ooc: apologies for the delay, had to take time to dig through all of the posts and school doesn't agree with that. Well guys, alliances are adorable, but dogpiling is bad form, and my tolerance of dogpiles is less than zero. (it's on level with my tolerance of bad RPing, which is the other reason I'm writing this) As such, allies and other unconcerned parties are invited to post pretty diplomatic messages and keep themselves quiet AKA not involved. That's my condition for the rest of this RP. Apologies for this post, it's not the best but it's what I've got at the moment.

IC:


Across the nation, all work suddenly stopped. Every ear was glued to a radio or loudspeaker, drinking in every word said. It was time for war, war against the enemy of Socialism. The Imperialists marched to war against the Federation, and so the Federation began its steady mobilization against these. Already the most basic preparations had begun, from initial conscription to the issuing of weapons.

Every man, woman, and child stood poised for the nation. Indoctrinated within inches of their collective sanity, the population needed merely the word and the kind barrel of a political officer behind them to comply completely, obey absolutely, and risk all for the perpetuation of collectivist theory.

The war machine ground slowly onward.


OOC: Although it has the appearance of dog-piling, it is simply allies coming to the aid of one in need. However, in all practicality, I do see your point.

Xeraph's stance at this point is that we will stand ready if Shaz calls for our help. We will deploy our forces to a point 150 nautical miles ( or whatever distance you hold to be adequate) off your coast in international waters. From there we will monitor Shaz's progress as he kicks your ass.....

As such, allies and other unconcerned parties are invited to post pretty diplomatic messages and keep themselves quiet AKA not involved. That's my condition for the rest of this RP

I don't see how you can be setting any conditions to anyone. You're attacking Shazbotdom. If Shazbotdom wants, he will refuse to RP with you outright. Or insist you recognize all his defenses, even the FT ones. Or whatever else. It's his choice.

If Shaz wants me to help him, then you cannot just attack him and ignore my presence.

IC Actions = IC consequences. And if you attack a nation that has a lot of allies, then being crushed by those allies is an IC consequence.

Of course, if Shaz wants to go 1 on 1 with you, that's different.

7th Fleet, 12 NM from Canton, Findan, aboard HIMS (His Imperial Majesty's Ship) Nautilus, Virginia class SSN

Prince Lieutenant Junior Grade Terence Vandaland turned to his friend and asked, "So... what did 'ya do last night Johnny?"

"I went to a wedding," replied Lieutenant, J.G. John Amrstrong

"A wedding?" asked Prince Lieutenant, J.G. incredulously, "where you invited old boy?"

"Yes and no"

"Yes and no?" asked Terence

"Well I went"

"You crashed a wedding?"

"Yes I did"

"Well I hope you didn't wear your uniform at least," said Terence

"Of course I wore my uniform no one ever questions you in a Naval dress uniform, especially not now beacause of the war."

Andrew waved his hand as if to dismiss the matter, "Who's wedding was it anyway?"

"Uh, some chick named Atenbourgh, some MP's daughter"

"Atenbourgh as in Nicolai Atenbourgh as the Con's hatchet man as in the Navy has too much money Atenbourgh?" asked Terence

"Yes that Atenbourgh"

"Did you meet him?"

"yes briefly"

Andrew sighed, "Well there goes the sub budget"

"Did you get a chick?" asked a new voice

"Ah DeAngelo, how's it going buddy?"

The large black J.G. responded, "Good, but did you get a chick?"

"Yes I did"

"What's her name?"

"Lorianne, Lorianne Canton"

"Canton! As in the daughter of Duke Admiral Sumerval "I'll shove my boot up your a$$" Canton?" Andrew said

"Well Canton is not a common name is it?"

"No it isn't. Did you forget that Admiral Canton is second-in-command of the fleet?"

"Well I hope you didn't knock her up?" said DeAngelo Tourney

"I would show you her picture but we are down too deep for me to get a single for WiFI."

Just then Armstrong's computer made a loud beeping sound: Incoming Transmission

OCC: I decided to split this into two posts to make it easier on everyone

IC: 7th Fleet, 12 NM from Canton, Findan, aboard HIMS (His Imperial Majesty's Ship) Nautilus, Virginia class SSN


Immediately John Armstrong turned to his computer and picked up the transmission. He yelled, "Skipper! Message for you!"

He carried it over to Viscount Commander Nathaniel Burlington. He saluted him, "Sir!"
"At ease"
The skipper read the message:

TO ALL COMMANDS FROM HOME FLEET. DEFCON 2 IS NOW OFFICIAL. CONSIDER THIS TO BE A WAR WARNING. HOSTILITIES BETWEEN OUR NATION AND ESR COULD HAPPEN WITHOUT WARNING. DO NOT ENGAGE ESR UNITS UNLESS ATTACK FIRST. NOTIFY HOME FLEET IMMEDIATELY OF ANY ATTACKS

I'm pretty sure "IC consequences" has never, ever justified dogpiling. And it is ESR's thread, so I'd day he has free reign in that department.

In any case, it looks as though you're endorsing dogpiling for both sides, which would make for a horrible RP.

Nah. This is fine. He'll regret that he did this in the end. None of those nations listed offered military aid, so it'll be just him and Franberry. Unless someone pops in and gives military aid.

Salutations Mr. Larry Williams,

I have little inclination to bandy words about with one such as yourself. I hope the irony of a nation with a "Supreme Emperor" being a member of this "Soviet Commonwealth" is not lost upon you, but this is but a small humor against the vast tragedy ahead.

As is only proper, you are given one last ultimatum before we begin: stand down unconditionally, abdicate your position, and prepare for liberation by enlightened Marxist theory. Refusal to do so will result in the immediate termination of your oppressive regime.

You have forty eight hours to decide.
-Aleksandra Gorbachova, Premier of the Federation of Eurasian Socialist Republics

_____Why are we the ones who should stand down? Havn't you ever heard of 'Espionage'? It's done all the time. Yet Your the one who is going to put thousands, if not millions of innocent lives on the line because of a little intercepted message that caused a big ruckus between you and your friend.

_____So No. I will not do what you want me to do. There will be no appology for intercepting the message, there will be no withdrawl of our declaration of war, I will not step down from the position that My people have elected me to, I will not let my nation be run by a tyranical and pathetic version of Communism, and we will not shut down our national defence to let your pathetic excuse of a military into our nation.

_____What needs to be done is that YOU need to withdraw your declaration of war, because it is your foolhardy self that will cause the death of hundreds of thousands of good men and women from your nation. This 'War' because of a stupid insignifigant little message is, in the words of the people of the Shazbotdom Empire, pathetic.

_____I suggest that you stop this madness before your militaries get ripped to shreds off the coast of our nation, because you will never set food on the land.

I'm pretty sure "IC consequences" has never, ever justified dogpiling. And it is ESR's thread, so I'd day he has free reign in that department.

It is ESR's thread? Well, i wonder how ESR will look if Shaz decides to never, ever respond. For example.

It's always been the tradition of war RP's that he who is agressed upon chooses the TL and other characteristics of the war RP.

If ESR had attacked me, I'd certainly have refused to even post in the thread unless I could bring the compete and unrestrained wrath of my armed forces on him.

Official Message From the United Democratic Empire of Asgarnieu

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i65/Asgarnieu/real_seal.gif

Office 1
1217 Government Way
Balkan City, 85546
Balkan City S.A.R., United Democratic Empire of Asgarnieu

To: All Nations Involved in "War" Against Shazbotdom
From: Office of the President of the United Democratic Empire of Asgarnieu
Subject: War

Greetings.

First off, we would like to congratulate Shazbotdom on their soon-to-be new parking lot where Eurasia once stood.

All jokes aside, we wish to acknowledge the blatant stupidity of the Eurasians in declaring war upon Shazbotdom. Their military is vastly superior to that of your nation, and certainly will decimate the Eurasian military.

While we do not condone the "dogpile" technique, we do not see any viable dogpiling in action; Shazbotdom is acting responsibly by allowing its allies enter to defend.

We wish to have no official part in this war, unless weapons of mass destruction are utilized against Shazbotdom, or any of her allies for that matter. However, we will allow any Shazbot or Shazbot allied naval vessel to utilize our ports and waterways. Asgarnian Naval Force Mighty-class resupply vessels will cater to the needs of any Shazbot or allied vessel in Asgarnian Territorial Waters, including the waters of any Asgarnian protectorate, territory, or colony. The same goes for ANF Pigeon-class Submarine Tenders. All airbases in the Asgarnian Empire are available for use by Shazbot or allied air forces, and will be fully supplied with weaponry or fuel.

We do not wish to quarter any land forces, but we are more than willing to lend out a maximum of five thousand LCAC vessels to the Shazbots should a land invasion occur.

Any Eurasian vessel spotted in international waters by Asgarnian Naval Force ships will be summarily fired upon in accordance with Asgarnian Executive Order 15-G/K87. Similarly, any Eurasian aircraft found in international airspace will be fired upon under the same order. There will be no exception if a Eurasian aircraft or naval vessel is spotted in Asgarnian waters or airspace.

That is all.

Respectfully,

Justin A. Herbert
President of the United Democratic Empire of Asgarnieu

OOC: And as far as we can tell ESR is not allowing it. Now what?

Yes. But just cause he mad the thread doesn't mean he can make all the rules. As Allanea said, it should be up to the one getting attacked as to the rules of the thread. Therefore I will allow allies from both sides to join in, just as long as it does not get out of hand (ie. 20+ people).

Then it seems ESR will not have his thread at all, unless I'm misunderstanding Comrade Shazbotdom's previous statements.

In that case I'd say ESR's won a moral victory, seeing as I can't think of a reason as to why dogpiling would be justified in this case.

ESR has causus belli, and wants to invade. That doesn't enable Shazbotdom to bear down on him with every ally he has, especially given the large margin between ESR and Shazbotdom in terms of population. I would go so far to say that Shaz doesn't need allies in this case.

Anyone care to explain what has been going on here while I was gone, I am, after all, an ally of Shazbodom and it's my duty to help him.

Just crap like that.

i know im not part of your thread but ive been readying it and it seems perfectly justifiable to me to use overwhelming force to crush an enemy.
in the same situation i would do the same thing
besides by adding in allies it might convince the aggressor to back down
