I've been doing that, in the South Seas. :D

Bean: I'm attending by video conference, but my Zepp is on approach and will land soon so I can join "in person" at any time.

The meeting will hold till everyone gets here if needed.

I need to know who's physically in the room however so I can fluff up reactions.

The backdate trick was originally for the tsunami. I had a scene planned were the Presidente is informed of the tsunami, he immediately calls an emergency cabinet meeting, then before doing anything else calls his broker, tells him to sell all his PetroAr stock (their oil and gas exploration operations were going to be wiped out) to the government and backdate the sale to yesterday, thus committing insider trading and misusing government funds for personal gain in a single stroke.

I diverted my Zepplin, I was heading for another place, also I should be badly bruised and dragging along a "Younger Me", getting into a fight with your Jungian Animas Persona/Evil Marty Stu can be taxing.

The Grand Duke of the Qudlivun Free State will be present at the conference and will be joined by a small staff from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs. The party will arrive by commercial air (probably to nearest airport, then charter jet to Atlantis).

Ummm...everybody who has already been posting their peace negotiations?
If some nice person could go back through and count everyone up and who's attending in person I sure would love it.
I'm there for the MESS (though others are sending folks to back me up),
Shep is already there, Saddam's third son is there, Stas either is there or has reporters from Pravda there since he counter-proposed I'm going with he is there, Inhopal is there as is Alexander, PeZook and Shroom have been adding to the negotations so I assume they are here as well, Phong has added commentary but I don't know if he is physically there yet or making announcements en route.

That would sum up everyone who has been in actively on negotiating near as I can tell.

I'm here. In short, we'll not accept a nuclear control regime, and will defer to the UAR for the question of Neverhood and Libertia. The issues relating to the rest of the MESS-UAR conflicts are none of our concern in particular.

As noted before, the IRT has an active biodefence program and is not a signatory to the BW Convention. Inspectors will be permitted.

Well aren't you the picky little bastard. Christ even Saddamistan is willing to allow some form of minotring and/or inspections. Are you really willing to be the "more secretive than Saddam" guy?

The IRT will soon face it's own choices.

Its sounded in the IC thread like you were holding off on that when you said "Howver, the IRT will not be party to any nuclear inspections and control regime." Now in this thread you made the inspectors statement AFTER switching the conversation to bioweapons it appeared to me that you were leaving the nuclear discussion simply with the above quote from the in character thread. If you are willing to accept nuke AND bio inspectors but not nuke or bio disarmament that's a whole seperate thing as 1) I've never proposed nuclear disarmament only international inspections and monitoring and 2) The bioweapons thing is Stas' baby and I will let him run with that though I am in agreement.

Hahaha. You tried to play "I'm not a signatory" card. But unlike Saddam, who is a great but secretive power (and it's program is not in the open) you just blew your cover, even if you "allow" inspectors. The IRT is a threat, just like we thought.
