My proposal is this: We all go to the conference, Skimmer and Shep included, to go there and flesh out what we intend to do, how we are going to keep our distance from each other, and to propose a mechanism by which before any war starts, all parties are obligated to sit down and talk face to face.

Also, side note: Make Cascadia a neutral territory.
The conference was for Frequesue Neutrality, but Cascadia could host peace talks as well.

And we are a neutral nation, we're not a part of MESS, though I figure we're not as neutral a host as Shep might like given A) we're friends with the Shinra Republic (though not Tian Xia) and B) I believe my own histories, at least what I discussed with others, had Cascadia as a Second War participant who mostly aided in the campaign in Shepistan, just to blow MESS membership off post war because Tian Xia and perhaps Old Dominion refused to let Cascadia get the full extent of her post-war terms.
Man this conference is goingto be busy. Besides Frequesquen neutrality and MESS Shep talks, wasn't the peace between Coilerburg and Omango/Sabika also going to worked out during the conference?

What do you think of my attempts to better relations between Shroomania and the CSR?
:) I like that. Let's get back to our diplomatic fun times, which are only occasionally interrupted by war, not the other way round like it's now :)

Indeed - with the occasional war-interruption being a chance at WAR PROFITEERING!

[Seriously. Mannequin legs as makeshift prosthetics. I'm a fucking genius.]

It's just sad that Shroomantha Smith will die in a car crash within two years. :(

Well, she can live on and perhaps become a high-ranking ambassador ;) We aren't constrained to repeating history - we can tweak it ;)

Actually, I had those talks happening in San Magdalena, seperate from the conference. Though their outcome could have a strong effect on the conference.

That said, I had Indhopal sending someone to the talks to represent the FTO as well as emissaries from Coilerburg, Omango, and Sabika. Could you and Coiler post replies to that with your formal positions?

Speaking of the Conference, even though I hadn't posted it, I have been in Seattle for the week leading up to it.

Where is the conference, so I know where to go to?

The Neutrality Conference is being held in Adams Capital District. I'll refer you to my map posted on the second page of the stickied "Build Your Country" thread for position.

In fact, give me a bit and I'll get the start of the conference up. I'm presuming the attendees comprise the following:

Vineyards
San Dorado
Indhopal
Coilerburg (would Omango and Sabika attend too? I'd think so)
Baerne
Shinra Republic
Tian Xia
Crimson Star Republic
Tonkin
Possibly an emissary from the faction the FTO is proposing to lead the CFR.

If I missed anyone, give me a shout-out, though I'll try to write the opening in such a way that anyone I miss won't be considered as not attending.

There's also a FUN THINGGY to be hosted in SIRNOTH, which is rather NEAR Shepistan and the Old Dominion.


PeZook, why do you hate Milo Shroombender and the service he is doing for the Shepistanis and Old Dominions?

EDIT:


Shroomania would like to send representatives to whatever that thing is in Cascadia. Neutrality talks.

Either Shroom the 777th or Minister of SHAFT Melchet McMeistervater.

Incidentally I'll be sending emergency aid to Shepistan, lots and lots of cotton, fine tobacco (for the children, it helps develop their lungs), and sugar. I hope y'all will appreciate it!

You mean turning the Goddamn F-ing Continent into Goddamn F-ing Switzerland.

At least, that is my plan.

I'll be in Cascadia for the talks myself. A Board representative will be present in Sirnoth for that conference. It'll be a busy time for DEPICOR...

I see your plant products, and I raise it by something the (male) populace will really be needing to take their minds off the misery and suffering surrounding them: PORN.

Second-largest producer of pornography in general after Shroomania, largest producer of eroge and hentai animu. Admittedly, we're not really proud of that latter distinction.

As for the Cascadia and Sirnoth conferences, I know I'll be sending emissaries to both. I just haven't decided on who exactly will be going, though.

The conference in Cascadia is the Frequesue Neutrality Conference that President Garrett proposed the previous year; the goal of the conference is an agreement to permit the nations of the continent of Frequesue to be recognized as neutral in the affairs of the world's major powers. A number of major powers and, I believe, all Frequesuan PCs save Czech (who is now an SAR of Tian Xia anyway, so Tian Xia handles his foreign affairs) are present. Any others who wish to attend (I know Phong has said Tonkin sent someone) is free to state they are present.

When the war is over, would it be allright for Zorian Firms to pick up some Reconstruction contracts?

I can sell them oil at very reasonable prices.

And why all this talk of pornography? I have prostitutes! Pro-Sti-Tutes!
Why look when you can touch, stroke, and do quite a lot else?

Well...he's laughing at the sight of orphanages being firebombed.

Seriously. He's profiteering from the war and loving it.

He seriously needs some lead medicine for that :D

PeZookia will, of course, participate in the neutrality talks.

And I really need to write something about hell on Orena's streets over Shady's shenanigans. He ain't doing much PR for the annexation :D

What did I fucking say no more then 12 posts above of yours? I’m not the fucking one with bio weapons, and I’m not the one fucking demanding that all wars end in unquestioned MESS victory.

He's worried about being isolated? He's the one who blew off the multiple attempts to open relations with him at the start of the game. So that's his fault, not some grand MESS conspiracy.
Actually I do have relations with many nations moron, but the SNC, which is the only alliance bloc it would be remotely sensible for Japanistan to join is defacto part of the MESS, and has completely ignored my efforts to create a new defensive alliance which would affect only conflicts on the old continent. If people are going to fucking keep trying to blame me for everything then I don’t care what the wars result is, I’m not going to keep taking this fucking bullshit.

Internet problems, I'm not lazy I swear.

But I'm doing PR, just as long as Shroom doesn't kill too many whores.

Let's hope this shitstorm will pass quickly so we can continue with the game.
