Balance of Power (Gameplay Thread) - Epilogue and Game Over

[Dr. Cynic]

I think that the American attitude has been the one that was most unhelpful. We regret that it has had to come to this. It was America that broke the peace and refused to talk.

America is a young nation on the whole... Sometimes you have to smack a child in order to get it to behave.

This made me laugh!

[CLARENCE 2015!]

The USA hereby declares war on France

Empires come and go....France has had its time and now that time is ending. It shifts from the British and French to the New World and to Germany, the Ottomans, and others who choose to stand with us

All French assets are now frozen,and all French nationals are to be arrested

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

We regret France is now at war with our two closest allies.

[Dr. Cynic]

We regret France is now at war with our two closest allies.

No one regrets it more than I, I can assure you.

[CLARENCE 2015!]

That feeling will only grow, Prime Minister

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Well, I guess we've finally got a full-scale World War

That feeling will only grow, Prime Minister

Yes... I regret that I will have to kill my American friends... Not so much my German friends though Speaking of...

France hereby annexes the full territory of Alsace-Lorraine. German nationals are to be arrested and detained if they are deemed a threat to France's national security.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Russia has no intentions to enter this war and will trade with both sides. As the warring powers are unable to deal with the Turkestani crisis we will indeed take it upon our own shoulders.

Given the circumstances (enemy at our southern border), we must accept this, though we wish to ask Petrograd to some sensivity regarding rights of Turkic people and other non-Russian groups.

[CLARENCE 2015!]

OOC....Spamage- Canada should now be red ;-)

Back as President Hay

To the Tsar- unless they are needed to reinforce units further west, my brigade of 5,000 in Turkestan will seek the direction of your commanders for how they can be the most helpful

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

OOC: Are you sure that America's declaration of war can get approved by Congress? After the war with Russia (and in which the US and Britain were allies) President Hay might not get a majority to approve.

[CLARENCE 2015!]

OOC....I've had conversations to this regard, and both Lumine and Windjammer can attest and Lumine was CCed. I kept congressional leaders in the loop and I do have a majority there already- and with my propaganda comparing this to 1776, patriotism/jingoism would be at a fever pitch in the USA at this point

[free my dawg]

British rule over the holy city of Mecca was doomed to be a disaster from Day One. It has found itself unable to control its soldiers from disrespecting its culture, and now they have even gone to drunkenly burning Islam's holiest site. In order to distract themselves from this disgusting act, they have decided to falsely accuse our allies of a terrorist attack, and have ceded the city to a pro-British puppet instead of its rightful heirs. We find it hilarious that it would accuse the former secretary of the liberator of African-Americans himself of racism and trying to oppress the community he helped build, and we find it disgusting that it continues to abuse our Maltese brothers and only pay attention to them whenever there is a war.

In solidarity with our American and German allies, the Kingdom of Italy hereby declares war on the United Kingdom and France. We hereby increase our army to full mobilization, and we seize all British and French assets in the country.

You ruined my map

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

We are happy to welcome our Italian friends at war against the British menace.

[CLARENCE 2015!]

The USA joins our Ottoman allies in welcoming our Italian allies in the fight against the old tyrannical powers of Britain and France

We look forward to working with them to lead a new world order in which freedom and respect for all peoples is the basis

[Spamage]

People of Canada,
   Within the past few hours the United States of America have decided to annex you against your own will. Throughout your illustrious history you’ve always resisted the American jingoistic attitude; you stood strong when they burned the colonial government in the War of 1812 and eventually succeeded in burning their own capitol! A century later the glutton that is America has decided to gobble you up against your wishes, and we are not going to allow this to happen! It’s time someone told America enough! It’s time someone told American no more! This is the third time the upstart Americans have attempted to imprison you, first there was when they attempted to invade during the Revolution, then again during the War of 1812, and now today they strike once more! This is the fight of our forebears and surrendering would be to say their blood lost was not worth it, it would be to say that your entire history has been a waste! We shall fight in the cities, we shall fight in the forests, we shall fight from Vancouver to Newfoundland! Canada is much too powerful to be simply absorbed by the United States and for trying we’re gonna give ‘em hell and one day the fight will be in Canada no more, no it’ll be in Boston and New York, Washington and Philadelphia, Richmond and Atlanta! After this war no longer shall the United States be a threat, no it’ll be divided piece by piece, just as they plan to do with us! Only unlike them, we’ll succeed!




Gotta promote patriotism somehow

[CLARENCE 2015!]

Canadian Propaganda

"American Brings Freedom"

The President of the United States orders an immediate referendum- overseen by Canadian authorities- upon approval of which, Canada will be an independent nation

There are words, and then there are deeds. Listen not to British words- Look instead at American deeds

Yes, do look at the American deeds. Seizing a country without it's consent, tricking the former owner, and now attacking them for no reason at all.

Canada has told you no twice in its history, and yet you still force yourself upon them.

[CLARENCE 2015!]

If I were sieizing Canada- I would not immediately be granting them independence! I am giving them what you failed to give them as their tyrant....FREEDOM!

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Canada has had effective self-government since 1867.

[Spamage]

If I were sieizing Canada- I would not immediately be granting them independence! I am giving them what you failed to give them as their tyrant....FREEDOM!

You're not giving them a choice, though. You assume that Canada will pass the referendum (which will most definitely be rigged, I mean look at the history of contentiousness in American elections) without even giving them the vote yet.

America, you have yet been able to give us a cause for you declaring war and why you were so eager to do so, could you do so now please?

[CLARENCE 2015!]

Perhaps you should read several of my earlier statements regarding the British Empire's centuries-long record of conquering other peoples of the world and subjecting them to brutal treatment
