Might as well contract ProTec and Dark Liquid to guard Comona. Give the Indhopals something to do. And some eco-heads to bust.

Of course not.Stas - I hope you don't mind the bit about OMON troopers being deployed to Korolev?
Considering that in reality, eco-nuts managed to attack a nuclear plant with a missile (it was under construction, but still) I have no reservations about protecting important high-tech complexes.

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."
I have responded. My troops are back in their base at Pearl Point. They will not leave it until Canissia's government gives permission. Is that enough?Lonestar wrote: Well, if he doesn't respond within 24hrs, or if Coyote doesn't give him permission, bombs will start falling on ministry buildings.

That's cool! Toss their own crap back at 'em!Shinn Langley Soryu wrote:Here's a rough draft of a counter-ultimatum that the Duchy of Langley may issue to the GENITAL:
What do you think?AN ULTIMATUM TO THE PROVISIONAL ARMED FACTION OF THE GENERAL INTENTION TO ABOLISH LABTESTING ANIMAL RIGHTS GROUP
GIVEN that the General Intention to Abolish Labtesting considers its fellow human beings to be of less value than animals...
GIVEN that the General Intention to Abolish Labtesting is more than willing to resort to criminal actions in order to advance its own agendas...
GIVEN that the General Intention to Abolish Labtesting is also hypocritical in that it is willing to deliberately cause the deaths of thousands, if not millions, of animals simply to make a point...
...IT IS THUS DETERMINED that the General Intention to Abolish Labtesting must restore the natural balance to the world by releasing Miss Jia, consort of King Arik Coyotus-I of the People's Republic of Canissia, and surrendering its members peacefully to Canissian law enforcement officials.
The General Intention to Abolish Labtesting shall pay the price for its transgressions against the state of Canissia and against humanity in general, and who better to judge the GENITAL than those humans who recogize their crimes for what they are and put a stop to the cruelty of their wayward peers through immediate action--
To show that we are serious, we of the Duchy of Langley have interned all members of the General Intention to Abolish Labtesting operating within our borders. The vast majority of these operatives have lengthy criminal records and have already been charged with and convicted of various crimes, such as arson, vandalism, inciting riots, aggravated assault, and attempted murder. The Langley National Police will publically execute one GENITAL operative every hour, on the hour.
If no action is taken within 48 hours to meet these demands, the lives of the remaining GENITAL operatives in our custody will be forfeit.

Since when did you get the idea to station troops in foreign countries without their permission, anywhoo? You ought to ask permission or PM dudes first.

Shroom, this is a good idea about Comona. I've been thinking of a way to repay Indophal for their role in bringing my rogue intel officer in, and this may just be it. And we need tight security there - since there's a massive construction project underway there, there's a lot of opportunity for sabotage of various kind. Still, I think Selene 1A-bis is more offensive to the, seeing as we killed the last chimp we tried to launch and all
Perhaps we should freeze preparations so as not to piss those guys off even more? I wouldn't want Selene to cause them to murder Jia...

Coiler has a base on northern Canissian shores, at Pearl Point-- much like I have a navy base at Port Serenity, Gottland.
But, yeah, it's usually considered "bad form" to launch an attack from a base on a host nation, even if it is an attack on moo-cows.

Yeah, I thought it was common knowledge that Coiler was basing in Canissia with their permission. It's just that he landed armed troops in what was (presumably) a national reserve. In order to kill off herd animals

After we get Miss Jia back, I say we leak a few vids of a gorilla in a centrifuge uploaded on ShroomTube, just to spite these blokes.

Yes.

Here's the deal with the Crusaders. They will swear their fealty to me and placed under the control of the Imperial Byzantine Intelligence Agency as field operatives. However, they report directly to me, despite having an oversight from the IBIA. Essentially they will receive missions with the king's seal only.
They are a black unit, but won't operate without my orders. Any protests?
PeZook: By the way, I just thought of something, the Emperor wouldn't mind visiting one of the basilicas you might have, and meet the bishop if there's any.

Nope.
That could be a bit like Motto Skorzeny's Shroomstaffel
We all need a network of ass-kickers so we don't end up getting shot in the head after some kind of massive infiltration has swept our own country from beneath our feet, leaving us isolated and at the mercy of blokes with big guns

Hay, Shroom can meet Emperor Heraclius again

If you stay for 1-2 weeks? Else I would jet over to PeZookia after I am done with Shinra Republic instead of heading back. I will send letters to the Grand Master ordering him to stand down and await my return.Shroom Man 777 wrote:Nope.

Well, I'm arriving in Astoria now.
This will be my post:

ASTORIAN ARRIVAL
Shroomania's Prime Minister Shroom the 777th has just arrived in Astoria International and was greeted upon touchdown by flocks of PeZookian citizens. The crowds were divided to two seemingly equally-sized congregations, one of which lauded the arrival of the FUN's Founder, while the other booed and protested the coming of an ally of the controversial King Paul.

There also is an Orthodox church in Astoria. There's one in Warsaw, so why not

Sure. I will just handwave it and say that the Orthodox Bishop currently gets his pecking orders from the Ecumenical Patriarch. So I as the Byzantine Emperor, can speak to them both as representative of the Orthodox Church of Constantinople.PeZook wrote:I didn't really think about how the pezookian catholics are organized, but there probably are bishopsFingolfin_Noldor wrote: PeZook: By the way, I just thought of something, the Emperor wouldn't mind visiting one of the basilicas you might have, and meet the bishop if there's any.

Folks are welcome to throw in some PAF-GENITAL terrorism as they see fit (if they see fit)...
What I am wondering is... what is a good minor island that is no longer in play... something perhaps like Zablorg's former place, but without all the nuclear waste?
I have kind of an... idea.

No one has really gone forward with dumping nuclear waste in Zablania, Zarblog's place.
Actually, before all this shit happened, I was thinking of writing an op-ed for the Sovereign Shroomanian Sentinel.
The article was gonna feature the last man on Zablania, Will Smith. His exploits after the Robotocaust, using screencaps from I am Legend, and how he survived the Robot War, using screencaps from I, Robot.
Zablania's empty. Go fer it.
There's also Blastification. The Shrouded Isles. Republicsbergstatesville... (that's a mouthful)... Monarchy of the Mermaid...

The only thing is about Zablania is that it's owner has specifically stated that it is being abandoned... whereas others have not necessarily given up their control (that I know of).

Hmm...since their leadership actually used bioweapons, I'd guess it won't stay very utopian for long.
