Lynneth Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Just a little fyi: Once my term as GM is up (not that I had to do [i]anything[/i], lucky me), I will not again accept being nominated as GM for as long as I'm back on map duty. For the time being, I'll keep 'working' if it can be called that. Though I don't want to encourage you people. It's not been this peaceful in a long while and I like it.

Triyun Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) Really dark paint very late at night. If your referring to penetrating air defenses which is the only thing I think you could be, perhaps you can point to the post where Fizzy switched to having a formal army when he's said he's had all volunteers and was extremely low tech and I'd point out he's on a coastline where I moved them in, the Caspian is well within the scope of where Tianxia normally operates and I operated with a fully stealthy assault force, the only possible exceptions are the gunships which just moved in to a coastal city not deep into his territory.

Triyun Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 No I did not, I launched raids against militia with the most battle hardened army in CN RPs elite spec ops, he's welcome to counter attack, its no different move than any other advance, in fact most advances in the thread are a lot more than a few buildings.

Lynneth Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'll let you guys figure it out on your own unless you really want a GM to do something about it. But please figure it out in IRC or in the OOC, if possible. Your initial question would've been better for that of the Tech Help thread, Kankou, not this one.

[/quote] There is nothing that states that one group of buildings defended by the same force is entitled to special OOC protections that another is not. Had I advanced the same amount, taken different buildings of similar construction, you wouldn't be complaining if they were less strategic. Markus's posts had seen significant advances into Dagestan far more than mine Subtle. You did not object till now. That is hypocrisy on your part. Not god modding on mine. As for my note its not propaganda and you shouldn't be complaining about how someone phrase what they say in a statement. Nobody is under obligation to write dialogue their dialogue for someone else. Furthermore its not propaganda. Learn what propaganda actually means. This was something entirely else. It was a coercive threat.

Kankou Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Can we have some sort of definition as to what constitutes a Landing Ship? As far as I understand, a IG Landing Ship would be a relatively large ship that is designed to do amphibious assaults, excluding landing craft.

Subtleknifewielder Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Triyun, don't get so indignant...he's free to oppose your landing despite what your emperor says, and that's that. Unless you really want to say you actually took it without him having a chance to respond first. ANY part of his territory would be the same, and I would be arguing on your behalf if someone tried to freely take something of yours without opposition from you. It's not simply an advance, it's actually capturing and controlling territory. And that's all I have to say on the subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triyun Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Did anyone actually RP his regime had collapsed, or did the Emperor issue a decree threatening that future fighting would be futile? If words could collapse nations alone, I'd take out a few nations out every morning before I have my coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OOCly information to influence ICly events, specifically in Ireland, directly after you were made party to this war. If you were NOT part of the planning process, then the RP you posted would of been fine due to the existing RP in tha blackwatch thread.

PresidentDavid Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) I don't recognize your authority to make such a ruling because you yourself are now in the British Islands and also you were in the channel. Granted Curristan was in the channel but he was a little... busy at the time. You have an agenda to help Patrick and I simply don't think it's fair he has a GM on his side. Curristan and Lyn, I would really like to ask you guys to reconsider this and make a rational decision. Get back to me if you have any questions.
