SDN World 3 Commentary Thread I

[DarthShady]

Shep, about your Naval Blockade, I would like to remind you that the Balkan Confederacy has several socialist member states and that I have a colony in the area which you are blockading. My question is, do you plan to add me to the list of "Countries who will be sunk on sight, or taken as prizes"?

If you plan on doing that, please be warned that I will consider any attack on a Confederate ship, in international waters, either merchant or military, an act of war.

[Norseman]

Yeah, I think the conference has run it's course. The only loose thread in that segment of unreal time would be what happens when your fleet intercepts the retiring Brazilian fleet, and weather or not they'll allow my ship to link up with them.

That's my loose end, I'll handle that as quickly as I can.

[Coyote]

It had been mentioned in one of my earliest posts, but if need be I can edit it.

Please do. I have my own way of dealing with Hitler and it does involve Munich....

Okay. Just the part about the failed coup? Or the whole radio show, which I can chalk up to any random pro-fascist agitator? (This is another reason why I was asking about Mussolini, earlier-- he'd be a more likely candidate for a radio show, actually, since he was a journalist at one time...)

[Thanas]

Just the part about the failed coup. You'll see why in my next storypost.

[Coyote]

Done; the paragraph in question now reads thusly:

Many in the Yishuv followed the meanderings of the currently rising star of the movement, the one known as Hitler. The disaffected veteran had written a horribly convoluted book that was part biography and part fantasy while serving a brief stint in jail for some misdemeanor, the Mein Kampf book that had been published recently. Most people Arik knew found him to be such a wild, bizarre figure that they found him laughable-- many even liked that idea that the little Austrian corporal was the face of the hard-right, because he was such a rediculous caricature.

Hope that works!

[Thanas]

Sure thing, thanks.

[Norseman]

Ooooh I can hardly wait!

[Thanas]

My OOB is posted. Now I just have to deal with:
- tank designs
- showing all my ship designs
- posting my building queues...

URGH.

[Norseman]

Before anyone asks I cleared the post with Raj Ahten, I'm sorry for not making it longer or more significant, but I am kept very busy and I wanted to just wrap this up so others could move along. Oh and if its not clear the two fleets basically passed through each other.

Thanks for wrapping that fleet action up, Norse, I can have the SACDeF and CDCU stand down and recall their ships/planes/etc. in my next Uruguay-centric post. Was a good one too, amusing end.

Unrelated, I've got most of my Army/Marine OOB done, I just need to determine a few more things equipment-wise and outfit my reserve units with support tanks and such. My fortification information has a framework laid out, but nothing up yet for it.

AVAST ye all! Both THANAS and SHINN have agreed to give me thier parts of Borneo in exchange for various duties and services provided later... ONce more as normal, I am fashionably late to the game but Hope to have fun with everyone else... thus Crossroadia once more is coming into existence, Hopefully no one will have to change things too much at having a Nation on Borneo "Always" being there since it was founded.

[Steve]

"Crossroadia"? Please tell me that's not your country's name, otherwise I may have to invade you out of sheer principle.

[loomer]

I'm beginning to wonder if I shouldn't have annexed Switzerland.

[Steve]

As Afghanistan. That would have only earned you a headache, courtesy of Modnir.

It makes more sense once you know my backstory... THe island of Borneo was "bought out" byt a Consortium of European companies fed up with their governments constant warmongering, A group of Eight leading business men packed up thier Seizable vast wealth and industries and settled in Borneo under a socialistic but heavily business friendly new government led by the Eight.

Well, the business men might call it that, but I suspect the native population insist on using names like Kalimantan, Sabah, Brunei, Sarawak, etc.

Most natives are currently either being assimilated into the nations, eh, 'workforce' or being payed geneours sums to move toward the areas not currently undergoing railroad building, inning, clear-cutting, farming or other glorious endeavors..

Most natives. Inevitably, there will always be a few who will refuse to submit to the good-for-nothing ang mo that have stolen their homeland from them.

[Crossroads Inc.]

Oh indeed so, and if anyone wants to start up a 'resistance' or some such feel free, I have already been working on incorporating small groups of highly agitate natives that will have been making problems for my nation for a while.

You sound like you are from the SEA region, aren't you?

Stas, Bean, since Britain and Russia had the biggest impacts on Afghanistan's history pre-1900, did your involvements with the place differ from 'real' history much? Need to know so I can jump on the history train.

How on earth would the Brits get to Afghanistan.

[K. A. Pital]

Um... You can tweak the Russian involvement as you want to. That's all.

Fuck if I know, but I thought it better to ask first rather than cause issues later.

Erm.. I would also point out that since you are practically in my bloody backyard, it's more likely that I would have more influence than Britain which has to get through me first.
