Greater Ryazania and Hupprecht Colony
« on: February 26, 2007, 12:08:44 PM »
Ryazania has stated in the OOC thread "Points of interest in Ryazania" that we both agree I assume control of it before the rebellion. Even if everyone just jumps in, I still think it's likely I get a little land left over (preferably in the east. I'll just say that's where most Myrorian Catholics are, but in reality it's just closer to Hupprecht Colony). Bustos said he'd start the thread for the rebellion also.

I RPed Hupprecht Colony at the end of "Daedalus Should Never Set", and I will continue the thread "Daedalus Will Never Set" here soon.

I voted neither because that's how I vote for all colonial expansions, but for RP's sake you should probably take control of Ryazania when the royal family disappears.

On a slightly related subject, what are the borders of the "Seven Kingdoms?"

Why'd the rest of you vote against? You think I need to RP more, better...?

Your RP seems just fine to me, really. I just tend to be anti-imperialist/expansionist. Now,

peaceful
expansion I have much less a problem with (only problem is this: is that even possible?? ;P )

But, yeah, my reasoning and point of view is pretty much the same as G-C's. Nothing personal, and not that your RP isn't good enough, it's just a matter of standing firm in my own principles.

Besides, what would you rather I'd voted? "You suck"? ;)

Honestly, he probably would.  That, I believe, counts as an abstention.

Where are the imperialists?  I think that, to make the politics of the region more interesting in the future, that Ryazania should be split into as many spheres of interest as possible, but I don't want to vote for colonies myself...

Damn story/principle conflict!  I vote against colonies because nobody else is ever going to, and look where it gets me.
This ONE time, the worst time possible, everyone is anti-colony.

Bustos said he'd start the thread for the rebellion also.

I'm a bit confused...

First off, which one is Ryazania (is it the UI closest to me)? And secondly, by voting in favor of you getting Ryazania, does that mean it will subsequently fall into rebellion and we can pillage it for resources and the like?

Absolutely not. If you were to go in there and take the place over, I intend to have troops delivered there to watch over the people, and theyd be dead and I would have to go to war with you which I dont want. Its absurd to get all that land... I think that people should have the chance to fight for it, you included.

I'm asking for a vote for if Ryazania can be under my control until it is partitioned into other people's colonies at the end of the RP, not forever.

As Myroria said, he is asking to have control of Ryazania until the war breaks out.

The people will rebel and we'll try to stop it, but that's when everyone rushes in and we do little to stop it because we don't want an international war, but we'll protect the land we want more than anything. And why has everyone gone suddenly anti-colony with me but no one else?

That's what I ranted about.  Why is everyone anti-colony here?

I'm changing my vote.  You're not getting Hupprecht, but I'll support you keeping Ryazania until the war breaks out.
