Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
So few people would RP a war with you, basically.
Good RP means taking losses with victory, the downs with ups. I am completely doubtful that this is how any such RP would go, and that they'd be wholly ridiculous.
Basically, this is a perfect example for me to quote every time we have to justify having agreements to RP, since Yuk now doesn't have to fight your probable "We have reserves zergrush" method. Not much more than that.
*Shudders from a sugar high*
uh ok?
Oh i do RP to Lose , the wins and the Losses . It dosent sound like that tho it sounds like something else .
ok

RP ANNOUNCEMENT
Today I leave the Reich, this is for the best as Baxten and Oelesa are going down too different paths that our people can no longer be united as one.
Now Oelesa moves to have a provisional government with Jakob Streicher and his family returning to be king after being Governor of Oelesa during it's time with the Kasierreich.
We wish the best of luck in these times of uncertainty.

OOC, you people are CREATING the uncertainty by ceding from your organizations and governments!
Belmora
Different ideas, so yes we are. I'm not sure what your point is.
Belmora
Oh nothing actually. I'm just saying, you guys as a whole are pretending like you don't know why COFN got so unstable suddenly. But it's literally because "Oh, everyone else is leaving their government organization/association? LEMME DO THE SAME SO I'M COOL!"
It's not like trying to be cool or pretending. Things are uncertain . Baxten wants reform, a democracy of sorts. I'm not willing to do that, and rather than force one side another we leave. The ITF is another story, but no one seems to care if it stays.
Alright, but I stand by my position. It's frustrating to see people pretend like there's crisis coming outta nowhere, when they made it themselves. You know? Same idea behind the 'red scare' and USCS-ITF tension.
Im not on that list? I don't know if I should be happy that you don't see me as racist towards you or upset that you don't see me as racist towards you ;)
Isn't that the point of RP. Pretending?
It is! But that's not what I mean. My problem is when people make up problems or conflicts. Maybe in your case, that's not entirely true. But I can't help but notice a lot of of the 'crisis's' here are usually made out of completely thin air, just for the sake of "it's cool and everyone's getting into it too". Like, no. Have a reason. If you want to invade someone, have a good reason. Imagine if Vista outta nowhere wanted to be militaristic, so he invaded Baxten for no apparent reason. That would be pretty shifty? Now, if it was TCADS or Vid, then sure. Or even, if he had a regularly schedule election that bought a fascist into power, okay, then that makes sense. You have a decent reason to do that. The perfect example of what bothers me is that dude who came here a while ago, I think he left? He constantly shifted from nazi, to communist, to democracy, to civil war in the matter of hours. For no reason!
The Vidnoye
The 'reason' for this crisis is that I spread information about Baxten planning to get Vid to invade Sul for him in order to use it as some kind of false flag where he could swoop in, save the day and eliminate desire for Sulanian independence. That's what's causing this crisis: mistrust. The commander of the ITF demonstrated he couldn't be trusted so that's falling apart. Baxten demonstrated mistrust in his administration of the Reich, so that's falling apart. It's not something created out of thin air.
Friedensreich, The United Providences Of Perland, Yukona
Thank you, bro. I just wanted reassurance that this wasn't one of those "Because it's cool" moments.
Oelesa
Yeah, for once we're not doing a 'cool-for-the-sake-of-cool' thing and I'm liking it. The last day has been fairly nice and organic RP and it all sprung up from a tip-off about Vid trying to get into the ITF.

a Simple Court Cant make Peace .
Everyone should come into the Dubtrack radio station; things are getting pretty good and diverse
Never said it did...OK?
Æ) It kinda does. You can't just claim something'll create peace. Especially since there are people actively against this idea, you can't claim peace will come out of regulating the behavior and inventory of nations. I know for sure that once you hippies try to get pissy at me because I violate your laws, keeping the peace will be nigh impossible.
The whole idea of how the court would work will not create peace. You're creating an organization whose favored mode of operation is to piss off nations outside of it through [Enter Method Here]. Do you really expect nations outside of the court to not get salty and refuse to follow your laws and hearings after you place travel bans and freeze up their money-making assets?
You can take a gander of what has happened irl when people place punishments on nations for violating their international law. Despite all the sanctions and attempts to stop them because of their violations, NK still has a nuclear program and is still a totalitarian dictatorship.
B) Point is that atleast you guys are getting something right. It's not entirely doomed to fail.
C) It's a statement, and a promise. Prepare to clean up hog blood off of the front entrance of your hippy organization!

Then don't be a part of it lol, it's going ahead without you, sorry chicken :^)
A) There's, what, three nations against it, all who use the OOC 'it's just not fun' to basically defend it. Tough sh*t, it's going ahead. You'd be slapped with embargoes for misbehaving anyway, I don't think you understand that ay lmao.
>Claims my only argument is "just not fun"
>I said it won't work because nations won't follow what you guys say after you tick them off in the exact same post you quoted
Ayyyyyyy lmpfao I do! I think it's doomed to fail because nations don't act like the way you want them to. I'm glad I don't plan on working with this court, because God are they idealistic and self-righteous. (Plus I'm glad I don't have anything that you utopians can use against me)
Now, you know I disagree with you and think your pet project will not work out, but no hard feelins, mmmk?

Russian Fedration, Belmora
Never claimed it was your only argument so hold your horses, John Wayne. Considering multiple nations have signed up to its and it's entirely voluntarily whether you follow it or not in or out of the court as an organisation. If stopping war crime and human rights abuses is self righteous and utopian then again, that's fine, I don't really care because I feel like a f*cking parrot. And we've already established you disagree out of the incessant number of one liners you've managed to bless us with today, but you seem to imply that's it's my project exclusively
Rage?
posted on sul's ooc forum line :)
Vista Major, Yukona, Solla Ultima
Cool, why do you care about this court then?
If you know the alternative would be embargos that are just plain worse than having your assets frozen, and that the same nations in the court would embargo you if they weren't in one, then why would you be upset at it's creation?
So let me break this first one down:
1) You've done a war crime
2) A court has decided you've done a war crime and it's people freeze any assets your government has put inside the collective nations
3) You decide to war with them?
Yeah, smart move, now every nation but two others all agree that you're insane and won't ally or trade with you.
Oh, did I mention that one of the signatories is a member of the USCS? So invading him means you're warring with them, too. And then there's me, who most people rely upon for weaponry and wouldn't see invaded. Then there's Peng and Yukona, Peng is wholly peaceful and a member of O-HOPE so good luck of you invade him, and Yuk still has ties to the old allies of the ITF.
Simply put, you lose without "cheating".
North Korea is a dictatorship lead by an obese and evil man who is able to scare western civilians enough that china pays them piecemeal enough for the dictator to live in semi-luxury, but almost all of their people live in abject poverty. NK is a poor example to throw up because...again...they're just puppets to Beijing, and if Beijing wanted, NK would downgrade their armaments out of fear of starving. We've made them dependent on Chinese benefactors due to China's gov being full of scummy people.
Yukona
same here.
The Vidnoye, Yukona
I want to , i just dont feel like "Applying"
Let's break this down:
1) How else is this statement from you: "There's, what, three nations against it, all who use the OOC 'it's just not fun' to basically defend it" supposed to be interpreted?
2) We've already established it's going to have effects on nations outside of it, no? Don't you remember when I cited your own explanation of it that said all nations are under its jurisdiction? And, don't you also remember that I, someone that isn't going to be in it, still has to pay attention to your new laws now or be labeled a "war criminal"?
3) It's just my way of doing things. I keep things simple until I absolutely have to write walls of text. Nobody wants to read walls of text, and so I keep things short and sweet. If you don't like that, lemme just quote you about this whole court thing: "it's going to happen anyway", so if you have a problem with it, too bad?
I don't think I did. If you took it that way, I apologize. Until I say the words "exclusively yours", please don't assume I'm implying it is.
Finally, I tried offering an olive branch and said "no hard feelings", but you're getting more and more defensive. So this is where I end this conversation with you before I say something I'll regret. Expect an IC response shortly.
Russian Fedration
I don't think I've made any sort of indication that I give a damn about who is in it, only that the idea of the organization as a whole is horrible. So your little bit about "I'm in it and I make gunz and stuff" is lost on me, simply because I don't care about how you're in it. I have nothing to do with you, and I want it to stay that way. To put it shortly, I'd rather fight a war than have to deal with some pain in my ass forever.
How would you feel about the example via Russia? Iran?

Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Jesus.
A) My interpretation of your (as in the collective, your friends, etc.) was that you want to commit war crimes or abuse human rights IC, therefore you don't want the court trying to stop you, because it's "not fun". <--- that's how it's interpreted
B) I've made it clear it is a voluntary nation to be a part of, but if you become a war criminal, nations will embargo your ENTIRE country regardless of whether there is a court or not. As a socialist, you should support the removal of the punishment from the people onto the real perpetrators, the government. You don't HAVE to freeze the assets or HAVE to extradite, you can if you want. Ultimately, you have to pay attention to all nations around you, again - regardless of the court - because that's diplomacy. This tries to remove the burden from the people, prevent unwanted wars, act as a level mediator, and provide some rules to war. If you don't like it - just like what you said to me - "too bad". The court isn't out to get you, if you're going to be committing war crimes/abusing HR, you're going to get embargoes and tension anyway.
B) Yeah, it is too bad, you do you just like I shall do I? Me and my friends wont stop making the court, you won't not be in it, so what exactly are we achieving here? It's going to happen anyway as in - I'm going to continue whether you like it or not, just like you are, so revert to the beginning of "B)" and see that reiterated.
D) Ends it with mmmk, assumed you were being sarcastic or giving a half assed olive branch at that, I don't hold you in ill standing apart from the fact you've made me literally want to cave my own head in with a claw hammer over the amount of times I've had to repeat myself
I like that idea. Percyton would be fully willing to cooperate with such an effort. In fact, since Percyton is already a neutral state, we'd be willing to house some offices or departments for the international courts. If Yukona or Peng need that, of course.
Happy birthday, Pierce! Pierce Brosnan was originally going to narrate both the U.S. and U.K. versions of my TV show starting from season 12, but he dropped out before that could happen; to this day, the producer people never told us why he left. However, Pierce did narrate the special The Great Discovery before he left, and me and the other engines got to meet Pierce when he visited the island. He was a very nice guy, and I think he was just as excited to meet us as were to meet him.
Congrats to all of you! Our O-HOPE family continues to grow!
Congratulations, Jas! With me being around as long as I have, I've seen countless children grow up and graduate high school, even if I can't always be at the ceremony. I always envy those graduates: So young and eager, ready to take on the world. It's an attitude I think more of us should adopt, and I hope you have that attitude as you leave high school!

Belmora, Penguania And Antarctica
The implication of this statement is that you'll war with the members of the court.
If you're going to war with them, then clearly you either care or the style of the RP from your last region is nearly incompatible with our own. Again, almost no one will RP with you if you're literally willing to ignore how humans actually react until your nation gets destroyed.
Furthermore, this is a case of how disingenuous any argument with you on this matter is. By refusing to understand how overwhelmingly terrible the outcome would be for you (think "Be slaughtered", not "Fight a war"), you only help to prove that it doesn't matter what points are given, you'll only read a quarter of it and dismiss the rest of the argument.
Russia's economy is slowing to a crawl, but is supported by oil. Almost every non-AK weapon program they launch is liable to fail while these sanctions are in effect, but they will likely still be approved for construction. Furthermore, Russia is led by a near-dictator of a leader who regularly lavishes his friends with incredible amounts of wealth, the corruption is nearly tangible from here, so of course he won't care at all, he's absolutely insulated and Russia won't collapse while Oil is priced highly.
Iran is supported by an incredibly large amount of oil that it can pawn off at Japan and Eastern Asia...or china too...that inevitably saves it from the full implication of it's effects.
Woah so a state can either be a puppet state or have oil and survive being sanctioned by the grace of a high market, it's almost like no nation would ever want to live under that worry unless the leaders knew it could survive on dirt sandwhiches for a long while in the real world.
Except then you realize how ineffective that is in a region full of reletively eco-friendly nations where demand is comparatively low during the booms and supply is almost always extrodinarily high.
A) I don't and don't plan to, but I don't like the thought of groups of nations organizing to enforce laws that I don't like in the first place.
I'd absolutely love it if an organization formed to prevent war, but one that just freezes its assets and lightens up its own coffers with other nations over the way it treats its own people is just something I do not like.
As a socialist, if the people of the nation that you guys consider abusive of HR don't rebel or appeal for it, it shouldn't be any foreign nation's right to interfere and try to 'help'. If they do nothing and do not ask for help, leave them alone. When/if they do ask for help, by all means, glass 'em. I'd probably be interested in helping, to be honest, if the people of the nation ask for it.
My problem with this whole court is that, while it's good at getting the real perpetrators, it ignores the fact that some nations don't need or want what you want. Cultural differences exist. If women here have to wear burqas as part of their culture, for example, and you consider that an affront to human rights, you should respect my culture enough not to go crazy about it. You should only try doing your thing after you have reason to believe that the people don't like it. You shouldn't automatically freeze up assets and pass out the gavels once you find out about what the nation is doing in violation of your laws. If you only acted after referenda or any other way of collecting public opinion were passed that said the government was working against the wishes of the people, you'd probably get a big thumbs up from me.
D) I'm a b!tch, you should know that by now :P
Plus, I haven't had caffeine all day, which has probably made me irritable and ditzy. You should probably know that I drink tea like a fish, so you can probably guess I have a caffeine addiction by now.
