Hi! I'm also from Yerfilag- it's founder actually lol. I haven't participated in any sports related things here in the 7 years I've been on NS; but thought it'd be fun to do something new. (and take a break from leading regions..)

Oh and I'll probably be going back and forth between this region and Yerfilag every now and then.

That's fair.

That taking a break from the leading regions part is why I am here... Except I think this is a leading region. The sports angle is just as valid as overly militant ones. I just want diversity. And I always liked the Esportiva idea. It's been awhile since I RP'd sports... I have a lacrosse tourney coming up though.

Fair, but risky. You'll need to formally be in this region to sign up for regional events and to submit your clubs into the CEdC. Unless you're missing out on anything by not being in Yerfilag, I'd recommend staying put for the most part.

... That said I think it's fair to make exceptions for you if you actually need to go and save the region from raiders or anything. You are the founder, after all.

((Actually, what I believe South Otselic is trying to say (we're IRL buddies) is that he wants to take a break from leading a region. Indeed, we are a leading region, but the emphasis is purely in the eye of the beholder. :) That is all.))

I just meant this isn't the kind of place where one should feel judged. Some of those places that claim some elite status on a website meant to create new interactions is really missing the point. But yeah, there are lots of great writers and RPers here and that's all I care about.

Good to have you guys around!

So SJG, Glo, Llama, and I were discussing on IRC and we have an idea for the spark for the Esportivan War of WCQ72. Basically, since Llama is leaving anyway, and has given me permission to do this, we nuke Hicana into oblivion, and then SJG and Gloriax declare war on us for such a senseless act, out of concern that we'd bring disturbances to the continent. Some of SJG's enemies (he has some IC-ly) join with us just for the chance to take them down - maybe FFR even signs a non-aggression pact with us to take down SJG, who they don't like either, before violating it mid-war, like the Nazis against the Soviets. Perhaps our military even trains the Republican troops in human blitzkrieg, a very deadly form of warfare for enemy soldiers and civilians alike, before they turn around and use it against us. Maybe they even planned to attack us all along just as soon as they were proficient in human blitzkrieg. Other nations don't like the fact that the Republicans violated a truce with us, and never liked them to begin with, so they take our side, while some consider FFR the lesser evil compared to our crazy dictatorship ruled by a lunatic. In short, the sides grow and grow until most of the region is engulfed.

Would nobody simply... nuke you back? Given that the entire idea of nuclear weapons is that using them would lead to reprisal in kind, which is why nobody is ever going to dare fire one again? And why ICly nuke harmless Hicana but not the nations invading you? And the scale seems too large - most conventional democratic nations, ICly, would probably not be able to justify not getting involved, even if OOCly the user would prefer to stay out.

It just seems a bit... II.

Case of myself, who really wouldn't want to get involved. Hell, I'd find easier to drop the Sunrise Islands here on another region for the time being.

The sarian and Nephara

In my 8½ RL years in AO, there's been several skirmishes and flat-out wars, most involving nations that I wouldn't want to IC/OOC drop a candy bar wrapper in, let alone go to war against.

Switzerland remained neutral in both RL World Wars for example.

Because SJG and Gloriax border us, so the fallout would reach our territory. So we'll have to fight conventionally, or as conventionally as human blitzkrieg can be. As for why Hicana, we hate Hicana IC-ly. I don't even remember how it got started, but we've hated them for a while and would be glad to wipe them off the map.

*puts on big scholar's hat*

The true path to war is by doing the things that take away the peace:

Nation A decides arbitrarily to start confiscating stuff from Nation B because Nation B is a known trader of "controlled substances" where they are perfectly legal, whereas decisively illegal in Nation A. Nation B protests, decides to take matters in their own hands by taking something else away from Nation A. Nation A retaliates by sending in a bunch of ships to enforce an embargo/quarantine/blah; accident happens...

Nuking a nation is a childish farce that will likely spell the end of the world at best and a hastily drawn redaction at worst.

Now who wants to watch me smash a piece of superfrozen rubber?!?

Or embrace neutrality, and casually sip a cup of coffee while watching mushroom clouds sprout in the distance. :)

smashing superfrozen rubber is more entertaining and more educational at the same time.

The only reason Gregoryisgodistan has the stupidest citizens is because they failed the "Which fruit is this test", that coconut question was a bummer for them...
