OOC: Embargos were traditionally considered acts of war[2].
derp
OOC: Note the bolded part.
If you still want to complain, then I can simply RP a massive tariff on your nation's goods that enter my CNRP nation, up to 500% of the original price.

An embargo is an act of war. You should do well to study current events more carefully before you make rash and potentially devastating decisions.
Please check the dictionary again. All we did is cut off trade from your nation, and that is not damaging your infra or your land. How is an embargo is an act of war when the only thing that is being effected is the trade between us? You can not force us to trade or not to trade with certain people, including you. We have the right to trade with who we want.

A route through Canada to avoid warfare would be too costly for us right now, and all other routes lead through a warzone. We're sorry, but our hand is forced.
OOC: before replying, keep in mind my nation is in economic depression.
OOC: Right, like cutting off trades will improve your economy.

IC: Second public announcement from GLS:
We have decided to place an embargo on Louisiana. Why? Louisiana backstabed the U.S., yet ironically, Louisiana was original founder of the U.S. We do not like to trade with betrayers.
-
The Elective Dictatorship of Palintine has ceased all trade and transit to the North American continent except with Tahoe, our allies. We cannot say we are ever pleased to see nations at war; however, Tahoe has our support in their endeavors. We would join them through the Ferrous Pacific Brotherhood if it were not for our inability to provide support.
Private, from Great Lakes State:
Do you mean you are also cutting trades off from us? We are not involved in the war at all.
-
OOC: You can read the thread, you just cannot post there. The transcripts of what transpired are there, I am not going to post it all here. That is the evidence. If you still fail to recognize it, that is your own business.
OOC: Wait, did you RP any spying on their discussion? You can read it, but you can't respond it to it through IC unless if one of their members told you through IC or if you have spied.
-
OOC: If he hates her ICly (which I suspect he does), then there is no reason to doubt that he's monitoring her nation for transmissions.
OOC: So he had someone tapping into their communication cables the whole time? I don't recall him RPing that.
-
OOC: Can I have another GM roll me a spy odds roll to detect this transmission? 90% please.
OOC: How do you even know that there is a transmission is being transmitted in the first place?
-
"Perhaps you think you know nothing, and yet you've seen something out of place. But that's what we're here to find out. If nothing else, you can tell us best how to get your ment to co-operate without having to resort to any unpleasantness."
--------
The respective addicts, once they were allowed to eat their meals, were not tied up again. Like the Captain, their interrogators at least pretended to be friendly.
Each would be asked what they knew about the TUO.
All of the TUO members pretended they didn't know anything about the TUO and only responded, "I know nothing." or ,"No comment."
-
Private:
Thank goodness that we didn't join the U.S., I had a feeling they were going to go rogue sooner or later...
--------------------
Public:
Great Lakes State has closed it's Great Lakes and canal access to any of the nations that are involved in the war. Only food and medical supplies may move though, but they will be subjected to ship inspections to check for any weapon/equipment/ammunition smuggling.
Any attacks or military movement on our land or our Great Lakes will be met with resistance. Do not try to anger us.
-
OOC: heh heh, nice one.
IC:
The police captain had a more friendly-looking interrogator. "Well, I must say the information you gave on your compatriots was most helpful. I apologize for the manner in which you were brought here, but I and my friends are looking for some information on the TUO. We know they've infiltrated the police--for that reason, and others best left unsaid, we had to be cautious."
The police captain responded, "I know nothing."
-
One of the guards turned to a third, as-yet unseen guard, and nodded to him. When he turned around, the two interrogators, predictably enough, punched their victims in the stomach.
"Fine. We will give you one. One only. With a possibility of more IF you co-operate."
Sadly, the happy-meal addict had a weak stomach, so he ended up on vomiting in the third guard's face.
"He has a weak stomach, don't punch that spot again or you might get vomited on again." chuckled the police captain.
-
Private:
Some semi-armor piercing assault rifles and machine guns would make a quick work of those armored soldiers...

In the research lab, the "insect repellent" development:
"Any progress?" asked the research manager
"After losing two of our lab workers to a massive fireball that shattered the reinforced tempered glass and roasted the entire lab room charcoal black, no." replied the research leader.
----------------------------------------
The research manager was getting a bit desperate, he knew the military technology head of department was not going to be pleased with the lack of progress. He then entered the anti-air craft gel development lab room.
"Any progress?" he asked.
"Yes and no. The bad news is we couldn't develop one that won't ignite the moment strong radio waves hit it, but the good news is that we discovered that a 9 year old kid already finished developing the gel within four days."
"How did you know?"
"Youtube, but it got taken off for some reason. Anyways, we contacted the kid, and guess what he demanded?"
"What?"
"200 happy meal coupons within two weeks."
"That isn't a problem."
"Now it is, ever since McDonald decided to take the happy meal off market, including the coupons for two months."
"Great..."
-
The guards shook their heads and sighed...then swift as lightning, punched the respective addicts in their noses, hard enough to break said facial features.
"We said, you'll get your food when and if you cooperate."
Both of them moaned from the pain, but won't stop moaning. The ham sandwich addicted cursed at the guards and said, "We will cooperate if you feed us first."
"Something tells me that they are going to punch his stomach..." thought the police captain.

-
That was uberstein's suggestion, actually.
I thought he said one out of two chances of success.
EDIT: Never mind about me supporting Baron's five step system...
-
Two.
And how do you know?
-
I would still not like to see multiple rollings, as it would leave people far to immune. Heck, with only a 3% chance your spy gets away with an operation against me, I don't have to worry too much. But if nations have some threat, then they might go and Rp the defenses, so that they can boost their defense. As said, the roll determines if the spy gets through given the player can outthink the opponent.. Heck, with even a 3% chance you get out, generic-non RP defenses will stop 97% of spies. Where as, with a single roll, it would stop only 50%, encouraging people to come up with and RP spy defenses to make it harder, and to boost that 50% by trying to out RP the opponent.
Who said with each dice roll, you will only get 1 out of 6 of hitting the number required for the spying to work?
-
Is that why you've been playing around with the Lightning Thieves Gang and TUO?
Indeed, except the Lighting Thieves gang RPing was before the massive loss of my infra.
-
Solution: refuse to roll if the RP does not address the specific defenses already presented by the defender.
If Baron's five step system was added with that, I support it.
-
>_> How about leaving things to appropriate uses? Battles can be won by pure force. Spying cannot. And so, spying can have impenetrable defense quite easily. Hence, although my minor nation is actually able to be waltzed in on by anyone, in CNRP its locked up tighter than fort knox.
Yeah right.
That means many people won't bother to RP defenses since they know that an IG odd would instantly get past through their defenses. Battles can also be won through surprises.
-
So, those are just RP Obstacles. Work around them. And also all are under RP'd. Military style border defenses have little to no effect on civilians, threat level IG takes into account readiness, and weather is never RPd.
One IG roll, the Rp should go ahead whatever the outcome, and I expect good Rpers would be able to adapt to any happening.
Also, do not like barons idea, For example, IG shows you have 90% chance of blowing up a nuke.
Under barons odds, thats (0.9)^5 = 0.59049
More realistically, a 70% chance. 0.7^5 = 0.16807 and the chance of doing any spying is pretty much nil. Baron, you would kill off RP spies.
I prefer the multiple step rolling, it gives smaller nations a better chance and could make the RP spying more realistic.

Just recently, Wash Frak, the nation's most infamous lawyer, decided to sue the Great Lakes State government for forcing people to know how to take care of children and for outlawing lawsuits. The case will be held in the Supreme Court.
Here are his words:
Are you serious? Are you trying to force people into knowing how to take care of children when they already know how? Your pathetic "Bill of No Rights" blocks off many important lawsuits, such as warning the manufacturers about the dangers of their products.
The response from President Jake:
The amendment and the law hasn't been approved yet, so basically you are suing over an issue that doesn't exist yet.
-
OOC: OK, got it...
IC: The guard who had spoken rolled his eyes. "Thanks, I'll make a note of it." The second guard slapped the happy-meal addict on the ear. "Sorry, no happy meals for you unless you co-operate."
The first guard simply walked over to the one demanding a ham sandwich and stood in front of the guy, cracking his knuckles when he was sure he'd gotten the man's attention. "Listen, you'll get a knuckle sandwich if you don't co-operate. If you do, I might just see my way to filling your order."
The happy meal and ham sandwich addicts shouted at the same time, "GIVE US OUR FOOD NOW!"
The police captain mumbled to the two other police officers, "Need any ear plugs? Its going to be an ear bleeding situation..."
You Thought We Were Kidding

We reconsider, we will take off the embargo, but...
We will place a tariff on all of your nation's goods that enter our nation, $2 billion per ton and $2 billion per cubic meter.

OOC: I did it for the lulz.
