That seems like it would just be more of a series of civil wars that anything of World War caliber. I'm not so excited about that idea. I would much rather have my ruler exiled or assassinated during the course of an actual war than during a civil war. I don't really fancy RPing with myself...

i guess we could have some kind of religous war where messiahs keep popping up and people are split as too the correct one. Or something. Actually no scrap that i'll end up on my own dancing around a large tree while being shot with machine guns :P :lol:

Okay, first off:

Planning a world war (I mean before it happens, in this case) automatically results in it not happening. It needs to occur naturally. Planning it will kill it, just like our last attempt.

However, if somehow we defy the odds, I've been talking to New Harumf and Nor a little. If he accepts my idea, it could start the war off in a much different way.

No, we should talk about it. The thing is, we have to organize it in a way that it happens quickly and all at once, rather than one theater at a time.

Well personally I'm willing to make some drastic and hostile changes in AA to help move this WW along. I'm even willing to lose as horribly as needed and throw in some loss of land to see this happen.

Remember, we're peaceful right now. But the overall Assassin mentality is war and bloodlust. They are born fighters and need to fight. So they will be looking for an excuse.

Also note that Koval is paranoid about his 'enemies'. If he can define a threat (GC is a good one.) he will pursue it with all his forces and drag the rest of the empire in with him. It also gives me enough play to switch sides later if/when the Praetor has had enough.

As for how to get this thing off the ground... there's always the Europe thing going on. It wouldnt be hard to get JAUST involved, and from there Scy makes an international plea... and half the world would suddenly be at each others throughts. Especially once the nukes go off.

We're just discussing how it could break out in each region...

Okay let us step away from the Mid eat for a moment...Europe. How will things go about and are there alternate ways?

I will go out on a limb and assume not. If he does we can always have ot et to northern, central, eastern, and western Europe.

Well there is the whole Yshurak/Assassin war that is upcoming but...anything else?

Just as AA, as I'm sure you've all probably noticed, Caronicilia is a little bit militaristic. 73% of our budget, in fact, is military. I'd be willing to have the Kaiser die, and have his sone, Otto XIV rise to power. He's much more insano, and much more militaristic as well. The Caronicilian culture is built on Pan-Guraism; basically a philosophy that a great historical empire (The Gurai Reich) held colonies on all corners of the Earth. Caronicilia is now, more or less dedicated to having all the former Gurai lands back under its control.

I'd certainly jump on the chance to enter a war, if Otto was in power, and I'd be willing to loose some if it had to come to that. World War would be awesome for RP.

If the nuke doesnt do it, positioning a large amount of troops there will.

I believe Q and RD might also slug it out?

I thought I read an OOC discussion where your European nations might go to war. I may be mistaken though. If so, ignore me. Got several things on my mind right now so its all a bit jumbled.

Rather than nukes... how about I unleash my PS-103 on somebody? AKA the plague revived.

An incurable plague? I think not. In all honesty, I would rather not use WMDs except for major, isolated plot points....

I plan the Yshurak/AA thing to practically create a bloodbath in Europe. It might even involve Yshurak launching a nuke at the Assassin colony in retaliation for what it perceives as a blatant Assassin nuclear attack. Sort of a "you nuked us, now we nuke you back" situation. Then there's a firestorm on the Baltic Sea and then if JAUST gets involved because of Article One or whatever, Yshurak can pull together a bunch of communist states, revitalizing and recreating the Communist Alliance.

A possible Nor/AA/EE war.

I want to bring attention to this, as it is definitely happening, which reminds me I owe you two a PM.

Also, Adrian's meddling in Velorya will cause it to fall, and it will become three smaller powers fighting each other for dominance. Perhaps mutual side-sponsoring can help precipitate the war, as Velorya is a relatively substantial ally to have, and whoever wins this Civil War will essentially shape Velorya for the course of the World War.

As for that, I am willing to have Velorya totally smashed, wrecked, conquered, and occupied. However, ultimately, I want all my land back except where I choose to give it away, which is not to you if you have to ask. I'm willing to lose Nueva Hispaniola in its entirety and willing to lose land in New Medea as well, as it is far too large. Los Angeles is still alive because I need it for an RP with Wadj, so it won't be in this.

Well if you want to lose land in New Medea all you need to do is ask.
