The Great War: OOC

I would like to remind Kannex that as Nebula is democratic socialist, there are no corporations worth speaking of that aren't state-owned.

It's probably more like a sort of small bullet or something that got so fast from the gravity and pressure that it crashed and made a small crater. That is possible, and would definitely get people's attention.

Yay for Tungsten Rods!
 
Yeah, that's what I was thinking of. Tungsten rods.

Also, I have to go for like an hour, and since this RP is so unnaturally active I felt notifying you all of that was relevant. XD. I'll be back later tonight.

...is this from a sci fi novel?
 
Yeah, I'm going home and getting wrapped up in Life is Strange Ep. 3, so don't go nuking the planet behind my back.
 
hey syrixia, are you saying adrian is rogue because you think they are or because nobody knows diana has gone insane?
 
Because nobody knows Diana has gone insane. Also because I don't wanna kick you out of Helmebaine but I will if you continue with this insanity and conflict and sadisticness 'n stuff :D
 
Also, I'll make a map later. It'll need to be bigger because Nebula is now attacking Pelhafor and Cronaal is involved too.

I don't mind, I have some plans.

What do you mean, you didn't assume the crazy queen who's torturing your embassy guy and conducting large-scale 'murder' against Rhuvish people was going to die?

See, this is why investing one's administrative functions in a single person, let alone a monarch, is a really bad idea. :)

Heheh, plans be coming.
 
Nebula, how willing are you to let Sadakhan agents (and a couple of Rhuvan patsies) create an "accident" at the chemical plant that produced the sulfur chloride, for being naughty?

I don't want to god-mode you, but this is totally something we'd do.

Who's law? Sadakoyama isn't a signatory to any of the treaties floating about TNP, does not belong to the DU, NPTO, or any of the various other alphabet soups. Besides, most of what I mentioned is done under the aegis of the University of Sadakoyama's many scientific institutions, including the Department of Cultural Anthropology, the Department of Defense Technologies, the Department of International Studies, and the Hedland Hall Climate Research Centre, which owns and operates the satellite in question.

However you are part of the WA, and there's got to be something against ludicrous amounts of "gathering scientific data".
 
Last I checked the WA has absolutely no jurisdiction on offsite RP and only applies to onsite RP.

KthxbaiCANWEGETTOTHERPNOW?!

PS: I'd get a spot on the map before you RP.

PPS: This is a war RP. If you (Hrisk) aren't gonna fight then why're you here?

PPPS: Sadakoyama, I've decided to null the whole Rhuvish businessmen thing, because I did that so Nebula could take over Rhuvanland, which would cause a lot of dramatic effect. I eventually decided against that as Cronaal's leader's gone insane. Plus, I kinda find it unsettling.

PPPPS: Cronaal, waiting on you to respond to the Commodore's ultimatum.
 
The file on Wolfsea must be pretty thin on info... "They like to fight, get drunk and watch the acclaimed soap opera 'The Smedleys'. and half a dozen satellite photos of Princess Sera sunbathing on the palace roof...
 
The weird thing is I always think of Sebt being a midway point between Manu Bennet and Oded Fehr. He can't really be hugely muscled due to having to get into a fighter cockpit and those things are tiny. I'm fairly bulky and I struggled getting in and out of a Harrier and that was 10 years ago.

If you can find something, let me know.

I think you are overlooking also just how much information is gathered by hobbyists, as well. There are airplane nuts all over the world, and they do a lot of information gathering with an enthusiasm and diligence that the professional snoops just cannot match.

So let's outline a possible scenario:
Alice from Hedland Hall is monitoring the satellite data. she sees your plane cross at an altitude that says it is not directly involved in the battle and it isn't a commercial vehicle. She takes some photos and gathers a rough spectrographic reading of the light reflecting from the plane and the exhaust trail, simply because the satellite can. She forwards her data to her supervisor, yadda yadda yadda up the chain to Bob in the DDT. Bob emails the clearest photos to Ted, a contact he cultivated who just never shuts up about airplanes. Ted recognizes the model, gets on his hobby forum full of plane spotters, and after a long and technical discussion involving enthusiasts around the world (including a FB post someone found from Carol, a Hiskjriaana citizen who only posted about seeing a funny airplane with really big wings flying low near her house/campsite/diner where she works) Ted calls Bob back and lets him know exactly what the plane was, whose it was, and when and where it likely took off from. Bob correlates this hypothesis with a chemist and aeronautical engineer who looked at the spectrographic data, and calls a science team doing some biological sampling in the area to keep a casual eye on the airbase to see if it seems to be escalating its operations.

Not saying that's exactly what happened, but it is what plausibly could happen with no real violations of national sovereignty.

That's too bad, I was having fun with it. It was something I didn't expect, and those are always the best RP scenarios.

Tell Kannex, he's stepping on my feet no matter what I do, and it's starting to get close to godmod, in my opinion at least.

So you know that somebody was flying a U-2 above the combat zone, and that Hiskjriaana has a U-2 up somewhere . Maybe Hiskjriaana is flying a training exercise and the U-2 belongs to someone else. Assuming that the U-2 is Hiskjriaana's is your government jumping to conclusions.

Syrixia: I have a claim on the map, and it should be coming through shortly because nobody else claimed it. And I know that Hiskjriaana is neutral, but if my claim gets accepted I'll be literally right next to Nebula (not planned), which might warrant a bit of knowing what's going on.
