Karl Martin

Reply: Thank you ***************************** The body of Karl Martin was moved to Berlin, where he would be reburied as "Restorer of Alsace." At the same time over 1,000,000 different objects, many of them art, were moved from the various houses of the Hohenzollern to Aachen. It will take nearly a month to do all the moving.

Friedrich Wilhelm von Hohenzollern sent a short message to whoever was running France. "To the Leader of France My father was buried in the city of Metz, where most of the family property is located. Since the land is now in France, I wish to move his body and the property to the Germanic Union. Would it be possible without hinderance?"

Anyone in Europe willing to give me a piece of land?

At the risk of being flamed again, I put forth the following suggestion: There should be army multipliers. x2 -> 1/2 tech x5 -> 1/8 tech x10 -> 1/25 tech x20 -> 1/50 tech This should allow people to customize their military. Some people like having a stand-alone army, while other might want conscripted (meaning more people who are less trained). By allowing this system, we can have a more creative battlefield instead of the current pure number games. And please; don't bother posting if all you are going to say is "I like the current system".

I would like to start this off with a confession/apology. The past few months had been rough for me. Almost all of my closest friends died for various tragic reasons, I had to pay out over 20,000 euros over an embezzlement scheme of a coworker, my health got completely wrecked, and other things like that. That is partly why I was a complete !@#$%^& to quite a few of you, and for that I apologize. (This doesn't mean my original dislike of Bavaria will go away, but I can be civil) In particular I wish to apologize to Sarah Tintagyl. After going over myself during vacation, I realized why I've been such hater: I was jealous. I was jealous of the fact she could continue writing such elegent pieces of art while I could feel my own writing falling apart. I've never been one to write human feelings, and it was very streeful on my part. Also, another reason for the jealousy was her relationship with someone. All I can say right now is that I sincerely apologize for the ass I was, and hope I can be forgiven. That being said, Karl Martin is back. Keep your hat on, BNP member, since I believe we'll be trading shots as long as I'm around.

OOC: Or maybe give me the benefit of doubt for once? Let's cut out the OOC bias and go with what could I be doing. Slovenia is an interesting case of being both anti-German and anti-Slavic in RL, and it would be fun balancing it out.

A few non-communist leaders from the former Socialist Sslovene Rrepublic sent a message to Germany and the Slavic Federation: "Would it be possible for us to be an independent nation for some time before finalizing the future?" OOC: Can I be Slovenia, with the part of Croatia??

Basra The [i]Dirigent[/i] looked up at the clear black sky. It had gone as planned. ALl the set up, starting from the formation of Burgundy to this war, everything had gone as he thought it would go. Burgundy had every chance to completely have France, yet he blocked it so someone else could be the ruler. He ahd split up the land so subtly that both France and Germany would be fighting until one is gone. Now, soon things would be changed. Germany would finally be reunified under a single flag. But what of himself? He had roamed the world for so long, and yet the job was neverending. The supersoldier serum he had given to Lorelei who would do what she thought it would be right to do. Schrödinger would be helping Wilhelm gain his own seat of power. Other would be gone, but he alone, along with a certain vampire, would remain. But then, why worry? It is a large world out there. He has all the time in the world for things. He started laughing. As a massive sandstorm started, the entire city was drowned in the mania of the voice. When the storm subsided, he was no more of this world. OOC: Curtains for [i]Dirigent[/i].

[quote name='Zoot Zoot' timestamp='1280289669' post='2392083'] He admited OOC reasoning behind his all of a sudden involvment in the European war and is thus illegal. [/quote] It is not at all sudden, Zoot. Check [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=89364&view=findpost&p=2379885"]this post[/url]. And Sarah Tintagyl, despite all the friction we have had in the past and are still having, I must say that I am very impressed at how you are willing to sacrifice all for what is possibily the best War RP I have ever seen. Thank you.

[quote name='Zoot Zoot' timestamp='1280289374' post='2392078'] What? Karl. Shutup you arse, if theyre Martens soldiers, you cant RP them because theyre not your men unless KM approves of this stupidity. [/quote] You think I wouldn't have gotten his permission? Besides, he'll be taking over, including Wilhelm. And if you're going to bring up the OOC argument, you might as well try something better. After all, my characters are still alive, and they would be going against France.

I'm not contributing my IG stats. The numbers will stay as those of Martens, I'm just giving him justification for when the war goes west. Only my former troops would have the knowledge of what is where. I'm also not going to let Francophile Sarah wipe out everything the Germanphile KM did.

I am Friedrich Wilhelm von Hohenzollern, King of Prussia and the Netherlands, and I was there where brothers fought against brothers. --- Aachen Cathedral Back in this holiest of Cahtedrals, where the Western Germans first felt as one with their Eastern brothers, Friedrich Wilhelm von Hohenzollern Stood up and faced the people gathered, with several reporters from Deutsche Welle. "People of former Burgundy, thank you for gathering here. As the Napoleonist Zelle attempts to steal back what was taken from its rightful owners, we have come here to reaffirm our dedication to the Vaterland. First, a short history lesson. The possession of Elsaß nominally passed to Louis XIV during the Thirty Years War. However, the Sun King experienced considerable difficulty administering the region, which was only brought to heel after an extensive siege of Strasbourg that ended in 1681. Despite efforts to centralize both the administration and culture of Alsace, the new territory remained a strangely mixed population divided along confessional, linguistic and cultural lines. By the mid-nineteenth century 32% of the population of Bas-Rhin and 11% of Haut-Rhin were protestant. At the same time, a majority of the population spoke German or a closely related Alsatian dialect as a first language while only the nobility and bourgeoisie of the cities were raised primarily in French. This is why Frankreich had always argued that Elsaß-Lothringen was theirs: They had been colonial masters of German land. It is this colonial history which was why Elsaß-Lothringen was supposingly French. Yet, let's assume that after all that time of colonial rule, Elsaß-Lothringen had become French. Does this make it theirs today? No, not by any means. With the fall of the Sixth French Republic, all French rule had collapsed in Elsaß-Lothringen, and it had become FULLY re-Germanized. Everyone in the region were German by culture, blood, and spirit. Unlike all those imposters in Zelle's regime today who claim they are from Lorraine, not a single remainder of the colonial rule remained. That is the true situation of Elsaß-Lothringen. Many beleive that my father had rigged the votes to have the land go to Germany. Nonsense! If he had been as Pro-Germanic as people think he is, he would have given all of Frankreich to Germany. Yet, he did not, and in fact helped reunite Frankreich under the rule of the vixen, Zelle. As much as I respected him, my father was too pro-France. It was to be his downfall. First there was the rigging of the votes in Lothringen, which was made up of Wallonie and Lothringen. After the region suddenly voted to join Zelle, 5 million out of 7 million people left for Germany. I ask you: How is this possible? Why would an absolute majority of people go away from their homes when they had voted to be in France? It is because the vote never truly reflected the wishes of the people. It is evident in itself. Furthermore, there was the death of my father. Here is the tape of his last moments, taken from the security camera in his room." A screen next to Wilhelm light up and started playing a video. It was of Karl Martin's bedroom in his Dijon residence. The man was sleeping peacefully when the door suddenly opened and a few Frnech soldiers entered the room, one of them shooting the former King in the face. "As you can see, he was murdered by French soldiers. Not those fake Burgundy revolters, but actually French troops. I ask you: What does this mean? WHo would benefit from death of the true Emperor of the French? No other than the vixen. This is what we are seeing today. She who had ursurped the throne of Karl der Grosse is not aiming to take over all of Europe, even if it meant killing those that stood in her way. I ask you, brothers and sisters, to not let this happen. I shall be going out to fight against the menace, and I wish you would join me." Wilhelm then held the crown up. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6d/French_Coronation_Crown_of_Charlemagne.png/220px-French_Coronation_Crown_of_Charlemagne.png[/img] "The crown of Karl der Grosse is safe here in Aachen. Until it is on the head of the true Kaiser of Frankreich, let us fight!" --- The speech had a great effect on the former people of Burgundy who were in Germany. All the shame and humilitation they had suffered to the insane support of France had burst, and soon 100,000 men, having served in the Burgundian Army, joined the armed forces. They would replace the tired troops who had been stadning against the Franks, and with their knowledge of what was over the border, they would be the shock troops when the march towards Paris would start.

Is there any North American land empty that I can claim?

Added in some of the characters.

Aachen Friedrich Wilhelm von Hohenzollern, King of Prussia and the Netherlands, looked at the map of Europe. Wallonie and Lothringen. Why did it go to Frankreich? He could never understand the sudden change of heart that the Volk in the region had. Perhaps.... manipulation on the part of Zelle? Very likely at how the so-called Burgundian Rebellion called forth her enthronement. Intolerable from his point of view. Unlike his father, Wilhelm was a Martencism. He lived and breathed for the Vaterland, not Frankreich. It was his greatest wish for Deutschland to be the greatest of all. He was Friedrich Wilhelm von Hohenzollern. If there is ever the chance, he will reclaim Wallonie, Lothringen, and Burgund, reforming the Kingdom of Lothringen. That was his goal.

[/quote] I'm about as much of a National Socialist as you are a member of the BNP. Anyway, will get to making the list when I have the time. Oh, btw, people who are forbidden: Zoot, Elrich.

[quote name='iamthey' date='14 July 2010 - 08:06 PM' timestamp='1279159548' post='2371980'] A strawman is not a refutation. [/quote] It was by no means meant to be a strawman against you. I was talking about whoever first thought of the formula, so cool it. I have no particular opinions on whether you use it or not, since it is not a standard for everyone.

[quote name='iamthey' date='14 July 2010 - 06:48 PM' timestamp='1279154885' post='2371886'] Because large nations do have hyper powers... but on a more substantive level including no multiplier means nation's like lynneth's or Lavo's have an unreasonably small GDP relative to their size. The multiplier's themselves are probably a bit out of date so they may need some tweaking upward. Beyond that there is no fixed formula for GDP anyway, and that is just the formula I choose to use. [/quote] Sounds like another case of big countries abusing their position. Who cooked up that particular idea? Curious. Also, Lynneth would have around $4.5 trillion if I read his RPs correctly, which is still bigger than Germany in reality. Can't say they would be underpowered.

[quote name='Voodoo Nova' date='14 July 2010 - 06:44 PM' timestamp='1279154628' post='2371880'] Want a tissue? [/quote] Thank you. It makes me sad that Vereinigte Deutsche Länder has Lynneth in it. Final post in here except for possible GM issues.

I have a question about one of the formulas used: why is there a infra multiplier, when that would only result in hyperpowers for the larger nations?

"Heil Premier Obama!" would be the most accurate saying, although if you want comrade, it would be "Heil Genosse Obama!" Deutsche Demokratische Republik, what a rot.

Something I've been thinking for some time. Since I probably would not be joining CNRP itself, it's high time that I start getting things finished. If anyone wants one of my characters, try asking in this thread. I'll post a list when I feel like digging through the forums.

Originally pro-French, she changed with the rise of Zelle and now wishes to find her Japanese heritage. Justine Kataoka is a Japanese-French who was a former admiral of the French Republic Navy. She follows Lorelei Shimazu.

Lynneth's a good friend and a good RP'er, I just disagree with him on his use of science-fiction with questionable labeling. By the way, Bavaria Germany is Best Germany. [/quote] Of course I'm one of, if not the most, offending person. Bavaria is the reason why Germany is not the greatest nation on earth, starting from the House of Habsburg and its mongrel empire, to a certain Austrian who spoke in Lower Bavarian and his cronies. Bismarck should never had attempted to form Deutsches Reich. In fact, I consider Bavaria the criminal, never living up to its National Socialist past. Finally: Bayreuth is Franken.
