I told Siege to do what he did OOC, and since everybody seemed to have gotten upset about it - I wanted an IC reason to step in on Siege's behalf, should things get too hot for him. I should have just blown up that damned island myself, perhaps then there would have been less bitching about it.

See, I was thinking, "You know, having it be real intel doesn't work out so well. But instead of just picking a fight, how could it be explained?" That's about the way I was thinking of doing it, actually, although I had a different method in mind.

It would be the genesis of Indhopal asking the NFT if they knew anything about it. At that point, the NFT would figure, "Well shit, the cat's out of the bag," and need to come up with something; if Indhopal knew, it's quite likely others would as well. So they thought about it, and hit upon an idea: the UCSR can be pretty damn hardline, and doesn't like Japanistan. So ask them. And therein became the beginnings of the intelligence thing. It would work to handle any questions posed by allies (sort of; yeah we knew about it and we had 'em do it and oh by the way, pirates!) although not telling everyone else may or may not have been a problem (I suppose it's up to PeZook whether he would've felt slighted by it or not). And if anyone outside comes forward, it has the backing of the UCSR and they'd go, "So what're you gonna do about it?" or something along those lines. The last fits in with Shady's 'alliance of power' speech to King Paul, at least.

Rough-ish idea, but you see the general purpose. And why not clear it up? Better that than thinking the UCSR has some ninja spies at Kempetai HQ or something.

EDIT: And even if you had there'd still be bitching. Blowing up Japanistani outposts on flimsy intelligence at best gets a good deal of concern from the Shinra Republic, no matter who pulled the trigger. For the long-ago mentioned 'yes I worry they'll do something crazy' reasons.

What official game-year are we in? 2017?

Shroom was the best and most benevolent leader...

The Shroomanian Ways of Peace, Freedom and the Pursuit of Happiness will not be curtailed by any cowardly attack - and that the ideals that Prime Minister Shroom strove for will forever be cherished, and not forgotten or cast aside by the whims of a terrorist.

Hopefully the leaders of the world can come and gather for the last hurrah. A final parting of the ways.
