The nation of Argonianss is looking for help from the esteemed International Community. We have discovered small pockets of oil in our island jungles and seek a way to mine these oils without hurting the enviorment around it however. These are small oil wells but we believe it is enough for us to attempt to build and use what humans call automobiles and other simple human inventions that require oil. While we cannot pay you much, our protector and introducer into the Modern World, Zackaroth, is more then willing to help pay for the cost. We look forward to the offers we get.


Ah-Malz, Current Tribe Leader of Argonianss

To: Argonianss
From: The Grand World Order Office of Foreign Affairs

We suggest that you ignore "protecting the environment"; If your nation cannot use inventions as basic as oil-powered vehicles because they have no oil, the environment means nothing compared to the advancement of a nation.


((OOC: Oh, I can smell Griffencrest already...))

Dear Reptile,

First, greetings from the Griffincrest Corporation, and welcome to the world. Second, you have exactly 24 hours from the reception of this message to hand your oil fields over to Griffincrest or else face military action.

We do hope you make the right choice.

Sincerely,

Jack Phoenixclaw, Chairman, Griffincrest Board of Directors

Message from the hu Tian Di government of foreign affairs.
If your nation is unable to use cars we must all but assume that your nation is ~80 years behind the times. As such we would like to offer a hand in modernizing your country though loans with low interest rates and training programs for the establishment of a skilled workforce. We hope you take our offer into consideration.

also there may be a threat by a nation called the Blackhelm Confederacy. We offer our support against this nation of oil capturing warmongers.

We hope you consider our offer. we also suggest that your enviromental protectionism should be abandoned for the time being to advance your nation.

Foreign ministry of hu Tian Di

ooc: I saw the end of this thread as soon as i read 'oil'.

tl;dr Griffencrest wins. Everybody dies.

Greetings from the Sunny Land of Shofercia. We have a proposition for you: why do you need oil to run your automobiles, when you can have solar powered cars? In the Spirit of Giving, we are willing to give you our solar power technology free of charge. Our solar and wind power has enough power for our nation of over half a billion people and the clean air provides great GDP from tourism that we generously collect every year. Instead of drilling holes in the jungle, how about turning the jungle into a hotel paradise? Shoot us a Telegram if interested,

Foreign Offices of the Government of Shofercia.


PS: After having read the threat from oil grubbing monsters, we will also respond and our military technology is one of the best in all of Nation States.

You won't be getting your fingers on these oil wells. They are under our protection and Argonianss is province of Zackaroth. Its only outside our shores and ANY attempt to secure these wells through war-mongering means will mean the utter destruction of any fleet sent. Short summary: This isn't the oil field your looking for.

OOC: Mass Griffincrest= INSTANT WIN!

Official Communique from the Volzgradien Government

Greetings honorable leader Ah-Malz, we believe we may have a proposition. We will not only help you stand up against the all consuming Griffincrest forces, but we will also modernize your nation free of charge. We all wish you good luck in this world.

Sincerely,
President Vasili Kavinkov

Dear Aimless,

Stand down, and do not interefere in this operation. The Griffincrest Corporation, as well as the Corporate Alliance, will not hesitate to attack mainland Zackaroth and claim all available resources within it should you interfere with the campaign against the Argonians. In short, if you wish to avoid a war, have the Argonians give up their oil fields bloodlessly. It is in your best interest to keep out of this.

Heed my words,

Claudius Griffincrest, CEO, Griffincrest Oil Incorporated

To the nation of Reptile,

As is appropriate in Royal politics, the Armed Forces of the CERC stand in support of the Griffencrest Corporation. It is advised that his conditions are met, to avoid certain war. The Colonial Empire of the Royal Code hereby officially endorses Griffencrest activities and intentions, and she will fight to aid her ally.

-The State Department, Foreign Ministries Office

We would like to thank all nations on there offers to help modernize our nation. We will look into all offers when we are done with this crisis.

Ah-Malz, Current Tribe Leader of Argonianss

"Sir a communique from the Foreign Office!"
"What is it now? I just came back from perfecting out fire-bomber technology, please, let me use them!"
"Actually sir, you might get your wish. An oil..."
"Grubbing state is about to attack an underdeveloped nation?"
"Yes Sir!"
"What's our war score?"
"5-0. Shall I recount the casualty rate?"
"No need to horrify the enemy just yet. Lemme see this, ahh...*reads thread*"

Official dispatch from Shofercia:

As the Commander of the Armed Forces of the Glorious Nation State of Shofercia, I hereby propose an alliance against these oil-grubbers! Should they invade, let's build a coalition and teach these oil-grubbers a lesson once and for all!

Dear Aimless,

Stand down, and do not interefere in this operation. The Griffincrest Corporation, as well as the Corporate Alliance, will not hesitate to attack mainland Zackaroth and claim all available resources within it should you interfere with the campaign against the Argonians. In short, if you wish to avoid a war, have the Argonians give up their oil fields bloodlessly. It is in your best interest to keep out of this.

Heed my words,

Claudius Griffincrest, CEO, Griffincrest Oil Incorporated

You have your allies and I have mine. I doubt you would want to start a large scale war over oil fields that are barely enough to fund a small nation. We will not back down nor give you an pint of oil. Again you have your allies and I have mine.

Aimless von Strangaild High, Leader of Zackaroth.

OOC: Shofercia, my war thread against your nation will be up momentarily.

ooc: Was thinking the same thing blackhelm. Lol. Take out the little guy, simplify the equation.

ooc: is there a certain place for war threads?

ooc edit: Since you are attacking me, please keep in mind that my nation is a very big island. Thus in order to attack me, you'd have to go through my navy and air-force first, meaning you will either have to land or paratroop in. Good luck against my defenses.

Dear Aimless - You rang? We've been lax of late in staying in contact with our friends. However as we remember our time in Gholgoth Minor with utmost fondness, should you need us, we will certainly be there. With back up and maybe even bells on...

Skismirian Government announcement:

RE: Griffencrest Aggression


Skismirian Government policy dictates that blantant agression against a nation warrents the use of preventative measures to ensure the saftey of inhabitants of the specified combat zone.

Becuase of the threats made against this nation Skismire has begun moblizing its forces to help ensure the saftey of the people.

OOC: What has it been BC, 10 minutes since I got back and we're only now diving headlong into war? I say, you're getting slower good man.

IC:

And now is the time for the desolate Deserted Territories to shake the heavy sands accumulated by time off of its back and throw itself into the colossal stuggle of war-hungry nations. Gears begin turning in the domestic machine at the heart of the great desert: soon the nation will be revived and the power struggle at its head will continue.

OOC: I apologize for stealing your thread to kick-start my summer but this has no follow through and a new topic would have been superfluous.

Zackaroth thanks Nuevo Nihongo for its support. We where big allies in Ghologoth Minior and even though you had to leave we still remeber you as a friend and trusted ally. May this struggle against oil-grubbing fiends bring our nations closer together.

Aimless von strangaild, High Leader of Zackaroth.

"Always glad to help a friend to kick ass. You have encoded communications headed your way. Sent you a TG Aggression against a small and peaceful nation is nothing more than bullying, and thats something we of 'Hongo truly despise."

Sam

In high and low orbits the various assest of the Empire began their sleepless, unblinking surveillence of the Blackhelm Confederacy, and the islands and ocean around Argonianss. A goodly portion of the N' Goan budget went into advanced orbital intelligence assets and weapons.

Other NIRTS would be launched to keep eyes on other nations attempting to interfere with the lives of the Argonianssans...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and OOC: Griffincrest dies and every one wins...I wonder how much for a good assassin...

((OOC: Certain people in the GWO would accept a job like that, including a few members of the government. Some of them will even do suicide missions so long as their family is paid beforehand.))

OOC: The Blackatia attempted to kill a Griffencrest but BlackHelm wouldn't allow anything to make it possible. Blackhelm is Assassin unfriendly. no matter what I did he simplyy claimed it was godmod or not possible because of an all prevasive security system.

OOC: I cannot find the attack thread against my nation. Can anyone help?

So far I will give out this satellite data about my nation: it is an island surrounded by water for at least 20 miles in every direction. The only way to get in would be either via a naval landing or paratrooping. Until I get any requests from the big oil bully guy about my defenses, I won't reveal them. He must send them to me via scouting and/or some other means.

To: Argonianss
From: Kingdom of Lynion

I have heard of recent threats of invading your nation just for the sake of oil. Lynion wishes to acknowledge that we are willing to stand by you and we will not allow you to get bullied by another nation.

ooc: Shofercia - TG headed your way.

We of the Republic would like to offer your nation a bit of help. We will not send troops, we will send any virus or bio-weapon you may need.

OOC: I cannot find the attack thread against my nation. Can anyone help?

OOC: it doesn't exist yet, BC can be lazy at times...
Be patient and keep defying him, it will come soon enough.

Announcement from the Aksoemite Goverment

Aksoem is saddened to hear of the threats made against the Argonianss, being a state with such a long history of occupation by Imperialist forces, we do not wish to see a similar event in any other nation, our current economic situation denies us the chance to outright defend the Argonianss from invasion, but should there form some sort of Coalition, then we shall gladly stand side by side against Imperialists.

Signed,
Prime Minister Kagiso Grunveld

Zackaroth would like to thank all nations that are giving there support for us and Argonianss. Argonianss is a underdeveloped nation and we cannot allow it to become enslaved and pillaged by oil hungry nations. For our allies that stand with us you have my never-ending thanks.

Aimless von Strangaild, High leader of Zackaroth

Diplomatic Communique
To All Involved Nations
From Prime Minister Jack Daniels

As a completely Neutral country and a small one at that, the government of Whiskeasy thinks that before pointless lives are lost over this conflict some sort of diplomacy must be engaged. I propose a conference at the newly created Pepsi-Max diplomatic center to smooth out these issues before it turns violent. Please consider this very rational move.
Hoping to see you all very soon,
Prime Minister Jack Daniels

TO: Jack Phoenixclaw
FROM: Binarian Department of International Relations
SUBJECT: Your Aggression

The Binarian empire is outraged at your continued millitary domination over the International oil market. Your demands to Argonianss are unreasonable and imperialistic. While we have no problem with limited and controled expansion, your policies are rampant and dangerous to the little stability in the world there is.

If you do not stop your attemps to strong arm the global oil market, the Binarian Empire will be forced to use lethal force to stop you. Revoke your demands in 6 hours, or face combat with our Millitary.

OOC: okay, for those of you who really are going to commit forces: link (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=558392)

OOC: Thats for another country :P That really has nothing to do with this thread, just a spin off.

OOC: Thats for another country :P That really has nothing to do with this thread, just a spin off.

On the contrary my dear Zackaroth. This has everything to do with this thread, the principle of which is to protect countries from opression by oil goons. So if you are ready to defend a country from opression by oil grubbing goons, sing up at the link provided by Deserted Territorries.

OOC: Protecting the Argonians from genocide is a bit of higher priority for us.. as if not for them, what will happen to the Black Marsh? I can only hope it's not oil which made it black.

Official announcement

Running a full nuclear economy, we are not particularly concerned about oil. However, the manner in which the Griffincrest Corporation is conducting itself, as well as its past history, indicate that it might eventually grow up to be an interference to our goals.
Interference is not tolerated. While the chances that the Griffincrest might eventually evolve further into a threat are low, it is our policy to prevent it on early stages.

Thus, should Griffincrest proceed with the action - and we believe it will proceed - our corporation, as well as everyone else in the world, will have a legal reason for open action against it.

Our current plans do not include ignoring this opportunity.


Kirill Leonov,
Nonconsensual Delivery Department Coordinator.

Oh, come on Zackaroth, help him out. And I'll do as I suggested in my tg.
