Alert--Unprovoked attack

[hypatias mom]

Addressing All Nobles

This is to inform the nobles of Shireroth that an unprovoked attack has taken place from the sky at Port Nevermore by paratroopers from the County of Monte Crisco, at the commmand of the Kaiser. For confirmation, see this post in The Capital of Turkey thread: http://shireroth.kuroshiro.net/forum/vi ... 0&start=30 We have captured and detained all invading troops, and are awaiting a response from the Kaiser to our protests. It is our belief that, bored, Kaiser Mors has decided to play warrior, using as a target whichever of his duchies seemed to strike his fancy. The most scurrilous, contemptuous factor in this attack, however, was that he issued the attack order while visiting one of his loyal subjects, Duke Jonas, in the Duchy he planned to invade.

This is the 66th anniversary of the unprovoked attack on Pearl Harbor. And as on that day the representatives of the Emperor of Japan were protesting their peaceful intentions while the attack was occurring, our Kaiser was being entertained while his troops were landing in our Barony.

The people of Shireroth need to be aware of this outrage, and I request your support, if necessary, in the event of any additional outrages perpetrated on us from the same or any other source. Thank you.

Carol, Baroness of Lumina's Light, and High Commander of Port Nevermore, and of our Baronial Forces.

The Duchy of Straylight supports the Imperial Government and our friends in Brookshire, of course, and furthermore does not see the relevance of comparing this attack to an event that has nothing to do with Shirithian history. Maybe you should interrogate the paratroopers and see that they weren't just dropping in for show before you go running around screaming over the whole country over one paradrop. It's not that it's the wrong reaction, it's just considered courteous to match the severity of the reaction to the severity of the provocation when no lives have been lost yet.

(alternatively, you could slaughter the paratroopers and send warships to bomb the Brookshirian coast. That wouldn't be as courteous, but this is Shireroth - getting a little civil war action going on is always fun)

So he gets to go around attacking whomever he chooses at will, with no recourse by the attacked party, except to act in a similarly uncivilized way?

[Kaiser Mors V]

That sounds like standard tradition.. yeah...

Obviously, this civil strife is Jesus punishing you all for rejecting democracy...OBVIOUSLY!! [jesus]

[benkern]

Thanks Jesus! Civil strike is what we Yardistanis live for!

The Barony of K'Tzuni is thoroughly unconcerned by this piffling matter. But we do send cake to the rebel troops at the front. My gosh, how subversive.

[Kaiser Mors V]

So.. which side is the rebels?

[hypatias mom]

Apparently, the jury is still out on that. You know what that means? Free cake for all!!

[Kaiser Mors V]

I like cake.....

[Jonas]

I like it too!

[benkern]

THE CAKE IS A LIE!

THE CAKE IS A LIE!

You're not a good person. You know that, right? Good people don't end up here

[Braden Indianensis]

You can't have your cake and eat it, too--not even if Marie Antoinette is flinging it at you from the towers of the Bastille.

THE CAKE IS A LIE!

Like I said on the MCS forums, it's just like in Portals...

[Aurangzeb Khan]

I will shoot the enemies of anyone who is prepared to support the revival of Elwynn.

VgCats, Benkern?

Screw this. Cake for all!
