'Great' Locomotive Chase? These people have obviously never seen some of the chases on Sodor. Whatever happened in 1862, I guarantee that it pales in comparison to Sodor's locomotive chases!

Most steam engines (including myself) don't use oil, so I'd still be worried about drinking carbonated oil. Especially since I didn't even know carbonated oil existed until you mentioned it just now.

Oh, THAT kind of coke? I could use that and put it in my firebox just fine, but I would prefer normal coal.

We have a full Chemistry Division within the Institute; alongside a population that can access it; Im sure that synthesizing such a product would be easy.

Hmmm, that does cause a problem...Hmm perhaps we could develop a coal product that fizzes? Like poprocks perhaps except highly flammable and with high energy potential...

High energy potential? Does that mean I could do more work and work for longer? Because I would like that. And if it's basically fizzling coal, that could feel interesting inside me. Me and my friends often say 'fizzling fireboxes' when we're surprised, but I didn't expect that to literally happen.

Sounds awful. A regional war between weaker powers is one thing, but a full blown WWIII would be a bit too much. Looking at the IC side of things, the destruction and death caused by it would be beyond imaginable. And I'd make sure that our post grasp the horrors of war; some people like to blow off a bombing or somethinf. If you read that RP guide in the WFE, you'll see what I mean. OOC-wise is similar, but I feel that some posters will use lots of YSL and get very, very butthurt, especially since annexation and all that is possible on this map. Also, I'd have to plan it out, get neutral moderators, and it's just a whole thing. But making the strategies and stuff would be fun.

Yea :P

I mean, lore wise, we technically had one around the time of or during WWI and WWII, wether it was one or two wars we don't know because we haven't RP'ed it yet. But we do have a general idea of what happened

I fµcked so many people over; attempted (or succeeded idk) to conquer the Americas, did so by culling huge portions of conquered nations populations and indoctrination of peoples into the Gran Andrean Empire via threats, psychological torture, or straight drugs.

If I did succeed in conquering most or all of the Americas, the Gran Andrean Empire fell to a civil war brought on by Imperator Desva Zi Andromitus. If I did not, the civil war still would occur, but a decade post-war; the war itself may or may not have also been ended by the use of nuclear weaponry. In total, it was the most brutal war to ever take place on our planet and showed a level of ferocity and barbarism unseen in human history.

Apart from all that ^^^^^ we haven't played out what happened.

Yup.

Considering some statements by some people, I can't help but feel it's pointless to have one.

Some people tend to view themselves as being essentially the hottest sh!t since Sol -the star, not the person- and I feel that behavior would maintain itself via the usual methods (Playing the other person's nation, outright fabricating reasons for their nation to win against overwhelming odds, Meta-gaming...ect....ect) while draining the fun right out of it.

I think the main problem would be butthurt players, lolgaming, and finding neutral moderators with the latter being the most important, but if we play out the OOC correctly, we might be able to pull it off, we'd just have to force players to read the WFE RP guide and have certain rules played out, such as have a game plan ahead of time if you lose so you don't do something stupid like deus ex'ing your way out of your problems.

I hope you all can trust me, and I trust alot of people to play fairly, but there is always the OOC threat of lolgaming and just general BS

Eh, it's less of an explicit problem and more of an implicit one.

Like, we have a ton of good people here, it's just that some very small numbers of them think it's fashionable to have a ridiculous military and don't like to admit that their Lol!Compisition could fail against a better organization. >.>

For what it's worth, seeing as I know some things on militaries -and I hope I've shown that by now- I would like to volunteer my services should it ever come up.

Is my military OK, mainly infantry numbers. We've discussed land vehicles, navy and air force, but I want to know if I should decrease my military. Keep in mind we have forced conscription, but I just proposed a bill to suspend the draft.

I would knock it down a tad since 2.5mil in total is a bit much.

OK, the rest of this is going to be extremely anal:

It's alright to scrap the two vehicles, the TD and the Light Tank. Your IFV can fill the role of the LT and your MBT will have enough fire-power to kill anything it needs to.

With regard to the aero-planes...might be worth-while to actually name each picture with an actual name rather than "Heavy Attack Chopper" :P

I do recommend fixing the header and the numbers in the "Global Fire Power" chart.

Random idea: What if we did a non-canon rp set in the future (2050-2100) where a rogue computer virus is infecting robots and drones, forcing every nation on Earth (yes, Earth, Kumania. Not space) to join forces and fight off the robot menace? Obviously if you guys are interested, we could work out the specifics later. But essentially, I'd play the enemy (not my nation itself, but in a similar way to TCADS and the Vipers) and I'd direct enemy movements and attacks and stuff and you guys try to repel them.

BTW I know everyone is concerned with the embargoes flying around, and rightly so. However, Romania and Hungary are at war right now, just so people know. Cause that can become a big deal pretty quickly

They're at war? I thought they were just hissing like cats, when did they mobilize!? Where was this told!

Hungary - Romania

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Budapest was the busiest city in the world this morning, a State of Emergency was declared just a few hours earlier and the Vezeto was at the front steps of the Palace of Hungary about to make some sort of a speech or public announcement with regards to the mobilization lf thr neighboring Romania.

Hundreds of Thousands of Hungarians and Foreigners alike stood outside in the streets pf Budapest to listen.

---

The Vezeto stood up, his Generals and Ministers behind him. He adjusted the microphone and coughed.

Vezeto Otto Skorzeny: "Awaken Hungarians! Insaybthe same to our foreign friends here to establish relations in the Forum as well!

Romania has mobilized its military! Against us! And on the false accusation on some sort of non-existant political aggression! We are currently hosting the largest gathering of Foreigners for friendly means in the ENTIRE WORLD! Hungary has no intention of anything Romania other than investment at this time but still we see a mobilization of forces?

Romania stands on our border, armed and ready to kill as we host leaders and delegations from Latrovia, Magnatronia, Kumania, Andromitus, Jaslandia, The Kaiserreich and Vista Major! And with all the power vested in me by the Hungarian people as their leader, I will protect these Foreign Leaders, all the thousands of Foreigners that came on their own accord but mostly the Hungarian people!

What is the Romanian plan? To start a World War with everyone against itself? Foreign Leaders see this act for what it is, raw warmongering! The Hungarian People will not stand for this, so I say stand with the Hungarian People who will quell these dangerous people!

The Hungarian Military has mobilized in response for the Romanian Threat! Beware Romania for Hungary takes no step backwards, surrender and concede or fight! Foreigners we will protect you! Hungarians Awaken!"

The speech was followed by absolutely deafening applause and cheering, then all of a sudden, the troops of the VSD (Vezeto Security Division) started a military parade march starting in the West of the City to the East where the Hungarians could see their young men off to a potential war.

--

Hungary has made an official statement that all concerned foreigners are more than welcome to stay in Budapest as the Economic Forum will continue. However should the fear of Romanian attacks be top much, the Hungarian Government will personally pay for any flights home.

Hungary has issued officially that the Romanian People and Military must surrender immedietly and hand over any concessions desired to avoid war.

---

The Majority of Hungarian Troops are already manning the defenses on the Romanian border due to the preplaned invasion (see earlier post in the general rp forum) however the rest of the Hungarian Military is rapidly mobilizing and on their way. (since we are bringing up NS States: Hungary is ranked 2nd best public transportation so our troops should mobilize much faster and we are also ranked 2nd Best Defense Forces. Not to mention 3rd best Arms Manufacturing Industry so we should be easily able to sustain our material.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We arent at war yet, Romania moved troops to his border, we see it as a potential invasion. Right now they can either Surrender before the war has even started, on our terms. Or fight a war!

That makes me feel a bit better, in following with my beliefs and the ideology of Andromitus, its better that we help a defending nation rather than an invader; although thats what might happen :-/

Its a question of ethics and politics.

When deciding who to support, if anyone at all.

Do you choose?

1.) Hungary: busy building road systems, quelling unemployment and holding an economic forum.

2.) Romania: Moved armed personal and military equiptment to border.

It sounds fun, what is that?

The Vidnoye wrote:It sounds fun, what is that?

Andromitus is a Transparent Direct Democracy; we have no state officials, those at your form are some of the few state representatives we have, and their only used for Foreign affairs;

Instead we vote through "Harmony" a digital access system that allows citizens and Ædenists to vote and connect online; these voting collections are what's called a "Consensus" and when the entire nation, (or all extranational Ædenists), votes on something its called a "Multiplicity Consensus", these are incredibly rare and often revolve around Andromitus trying to find the best way to respond to a problem, however, these problems oftentimes involve the necessary protection of our peoples.

Where we to call a Multiplicity Consensus, in this case, it would be how to respond correctly to your two mobilizations. In a possible WWIII scenario, it would be how to best protect ourselves and those seeking asylum.

Yeah, no. There is no embargo in your country and if there is going to be in it will be specifically for arms sale in Europe.

Also we're not afraid in the UK for a possible embargo on us, we are a self-dependent economy.

You operate on autarky? I find that incredibly, incredibly hard to believe considering this is a modern tech RP with globalisation. I strongly hope the mods either encourage you to redact that, you do it yourself, or you or penalised for standing by it.

Congrats, backtracking is backtracking when a picture is involved.

Glad to hear there isn't one though, it would have damaged Latrovia's economy (though, TBH, self reliant economies already kinda suck since they ignore internationalism, basically) and you've kinda done it for us.

It's funny too, because attempting to dodge those embargos because they'd decrease your prosperity led you to make a choice that intrinsically raises the costs for any given object.

By the way Andromitus, this is part of what I was talking about yesterday. Maybe it's fun for others, but I don't care to RP if going to be like tagging a four year old ("I got you!" "No you didn't! I have super ice powers!")

Also the TCADS thing would mean your whole parliament should be arrested for negligence, considering how many posts he made about it.

Seems like bactracking is backtracking everywhere.

Oh, I remember. Yea I told him to ask you, but not a demand. He asked you more in a "Join us if you want" type thing, not a "Join us or die" type thing. I think it's an issue of communication. However, he seems intnet on it now, so good luck.

It's not my issue that you didn't understand the plan and told everybody I embargoed you. Well politics in the UK work differently, we have a few parliament houses.

And before you say that it's a war-like threat, it's happening over Kalaron, so it's an internal issue.

It is not supposed to be a threat. Our government just wants to see what is happening between you and Latrovia. And most planes are over the Caspian Sea.
