Planet: MafiaScum 2 - Winter 2018

[Lord Mhork]

If that is so, the Twin Houses and the current research team must deliberate on this matter.

~Ambassador Tor'Kin, Face to the World

[Lord Mhork]

Oh deepest apologies. I had forgotten. In that case, you are, of course, more than welcome. We had thought you were simply inviting yourself. Our bad.

~Ambassador Tor'Kin, Face to the World

[Lord Mhork]

I want to amend mine to the warning, then ask to land/intercept, shoot down

[Lord Mhork]

This is still that same season as last week, right?

[Lord Mhork]

It's ok. No worries. Just making sure I wasn't forgetting to make a new budget.

[Lord Mhork]

You could have asked. Frankly I don't know why you continued the plan even when you knew that we would have to act according to protocol and shoot down the planes. Seems like a lot of wasted time and energy.

In addition His Holiness is adamantly opposed to war and bloody conflict and has thus declared an embargo on Elybria until such a time as a peacetime economy is restored.

~Ambassador Tor'Kin, Face to the World

[Lord Mhork]

What do you mean by that?

~Ambassador Tor'Kin, Fa-GUH!

[Lord Mhork]

*static*

"Good afternoon," a hollow voice says. "Ambassador Tor'Kin has been killed. There will be radio silence until His Holiness proclaims a new Voice. All important transmissions will be delivered from me until such a Voice is found. Thank you.

In addition His Holiness would like it known that whomever the responsible party is will be found and held accountable for his crimes. An assault on the voice is tantamount to an assault on the Holy Empire at large."

~Mr. Din'Finaci

[Lord Mhork]

*static*

"If the assailant turns himself into the proper Mhorkish authorities, he or she may be assured that capital punishment will not be considered in this matter. This is for the greatest good of all involved and involves the minimum waste of resources."

~Mr. Din'Finaci

PEDIT:
*static*

"Again, to those who may not have the proper auditory equipment or memory faculties to process simple information, I will be speaking on behalf of His Holiness until such a time as a new Voice is found."

[Lord Mhork]

*static*

"Maeristo Lux diplomats are welcome to Sri'Lanka to begin these sympathy meetings. And I feel no obligation to apologize to anyone at this particular moment in time. Abject apologies for not being able to do so."

~Mr. Din'Finaci

[Lord Mhork]

*static*

"Any diplomats coming for a sympathy meeting are assured that the risks are extremely low and the danger almost nonexistent.

In addition information leading to the arrest of this assailant shall be rewarded with financial compensation, if the good of catching a horrific assassin is not enough.

"

~Mr. Din'Finaci

[Lord Mhork]

*static*

"A fair amount depending on whether the information leads to an arrest, whether the arrested is actually the culprit, and the criticality of the information given."

~Mr. Din'Finaci

PEDIT:
*static*

"His Holiness understands this and appreciates the sympathies from Morphia. In addition He would like it known that this assassination will not halt any development or research projects. The A.R.T.I.F.I.C.E. project is still a go."

[Lord Mhork]

*static*

"His Holiness presents a counteroffer: the Holy Empire will present 100 million marcs on good faith. If your information proves valuable, the remaining 400 million marcs will be transferred after the arrest of the assailant."

~Mr. Din'Finaci

[Lord Mhork]

*static*

"His Holiness offers greetings from the Holy Empire."

~Mr. Din'Finaci

[Lord Mhork]

Egasp another theocracy.

[Lord Mhork]

*static*

"His Holiness looks favorably upon this conference. We will be sending Ambassador Dor'Pha to the religious conference along with Bishop Rah'Meg. In addition your contribution to A.R.T.F.I.C.E. is conditional of the vote from all current members.

We vote yay."

~Mr. Din'Finaci

Fuck whomever killed Tor'Kin. I have to remember a new name now.

[Lord Mhork]

*static*

"You also received the email detailing Elybria and Chesstopia's correspondence with regard to starting a war?"

~Mr. Din'Finaci

[Lord Mhork]

*static*

"Personally I believe that all nations should embargo Elybria for its war preparation. And we should all prepare for the inevitable stupidity that will lead to global conflict."

~Mr. Din'Finaci

[Lord Mhork]

*static*

We received it as well. And my UAVs can confirm that they have missile solos in their respective countries. As much as I hate to say this, even though we don't really have much in common, we should get rid of these troublemakers.

"This is a very bold statement coming from Mechanica Terram, which has already caused trouble due to the highly unethical, highly unauthorized espionage activity."

*static*

"Personally I believe that all nations should embargo Elybria for its war preparation. And we should all prepare for the inevitable stupidity that will lead to global conflict."

~Mr. Din'Finaci

Why not embargo chessnation too?

"Chesstopia is not currently in a war economy, and the Holy Empire is prepared to, for the time being, take Lord Chesskid on his word that he has no intention of starting conflict. Were he to do so, it would be incredibly stupid anyway.

"To Lord Chesskid, it would be foolish to begin a war economy because it will do nothing but escalate further hostilities and lead to a war that no one wants. If you are telling the truth, which His Holiness believes after the Arrakis Incident to be incredibly possible, than armament is not your answer. Instead we can settle this diplomatically. We can find the source of this leak and deal with the matter in a peaceful way for the benefit of all. Would you be willing to list the nations involved in this discussion so that we may narrow the search on the origin?"

~Mr. Din'Finaci

[Lord Mhork]

Oh because I realized I never clarified: Mr. Din'Finaci is only a radio voice. He has never publically appeared and is only heard on radio and a blank television screen. This is for his own safety as interim Voice

[Lord Mhork]

*static*
"Lord Chesskid, it is our ardent hope that you rethink your militarization. Otherwise we will be forced to embargo."

~Mr. Din'Finaci

[Lord Mhork]

I don't think you can really 'stop' a religion short of persecution.

[Lord Mhork]

Bro, this isn't civ and not all religious leaders are government sponsored...

[Lord Mhork]

I'm not convinced you people understand how religion works. I don't have any control over anything that isn't me, that is the Lord of Mhork. This isn't civilization or any other game. I'm not trying to get free spies or other benefits. Frankly it pisses me off that people think that's what the point of my religion is. I'm role playing a theocracy. I'm trying to spread my religion because that's in character. I'm not fucking trying to cheat. What would the point even be? There's not an end to this game. It's just role playing.

In response to this, I think I'm going to start a reboot of the mass spreading agenda though. Mhorkism should be far more prevalent.

[Lord Mhork]

CC is still off limits to non Mhorkists

[Lord Mhork]

Boohoo Maestro. Sri Lanka is also a city. It's the functional capital anyway

[Lord Mhork]

Clearly those three are metaphysical manifestations of the Holy Trinity that is Mhork

"The Holy Empire is disturbed by the sudden outbreak of war and especially the amount of innocent civilians of Morphia killed in the process. Plans are underway to transport any refugees who wish to flee to sanctuary in the Holy Empire."

~Mr. Din'Finaci

[Lord Mhork]

Diplo is attacking chesskid and orcinus? That's a bold move, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off.

"Unfortunately the chart is that of Castelia. They merely requested a list of adjectives, which we provided. Unfortunately we can do nothing more."

[Lord Mhork]

*static*
"His Holiness is much appreciative of your assistance and we are grateful.

In addition on behalf of all of the A.R.T.I.F.I.C.E. project, I would like to welcome you. It seems we may even already have a position freeing up.

Finally have you give thought to embracing the Word of Mhork?"

~Mr. Din'Finaci

[Lord Mhork]

*static*
"It's a real tragedy that Orthel has decided to withdraw from our international cooperative project, however we are happy to welcome Keravika. In addition

we will redirect all our finances with regard to the New Mhork Initiative to sending missionaries, spiritual leaders, and Books of Mhork to Keravika.

It is our earnest wish to foster peace and unity even in these difficult times."

"The Holy Empire begins training the population on missile drills, preparing them to head to bomb shelters at first warning of military activity.

In addition we are currently deliberating on the Chesstopia Embargo."

~Mr. Din'Finaci

[Lord Mhork]

Unembargo Chesstopia

[Lord Mhork]

*static*

"Good day. We are pleased to note the global embargo on the Elybrian barbarians is going smoothly. Soon their economy will be choked and they will be forced to make a choice.

"To the people of Elybria, we of the Holy Empire are a forgiving and peaceful nation. Renounce your corrupt leaders. Fight for you rights. Fight for freedom. Have faith that light is available even in the darkest of times. You all have the power to end pointless bloodshed."

"These continued assaults from Elybria and the insanity of the leader who shows no remorse in his actions has lead the Holy Empire to believe that there is only one solution to the Elybrian Affair. As such, the following budget allocation has been approved by the Twin Houses:"

3 billion marcs into Natural Gas
3 billion marcs into Rare Earth Metals
2 billion marcs into A.R.T.I.F.I.C.E. (production will continue uninterrupted in spite of the Elybrian Affair)

The Elybrian Affair

is a project financed by the Holy Empire with the goal of spreading information of Elybrian atrocities and crimes across the world. These short films and commercials will air in all nations that will allow them. In addition we will be publishing fliers and pamphlets outlining the misdeeds of Elybria and their esteemed leader.

"High Chancellor Klazam, His Holiness asks that you permit us to assist your military offensive against the Elybrian Menace and commit our 40,000 soldiers to that cause."

~Mr. Din'Finaci

[Lord Mhork]

*static*
"Very well. I have received approval from His Holiness:

40.000 soldiers committed to joining the Toposian targets. We will cooperate with the Toposian soldiers on the military and government installations. The same rules apply for unconditional surrender. No repercussions will be given to them that lay down arms and they will be turned over to our custody. Trials and investigations will occur at a later date to be determined once peace is restored.

"Thank you for listening. Together we can preserve the peace that Gazebo so deserves."

In addition send reinforcements to Elybria so that the attacking force is 45,000 soldiers.

"Thank you"

~Mr. Din'Finaci

Am I supposed to have 25bil? I don't remember missing a submission.

[Lord Mhork]

The Luxian Consulate issues a removal of its embargo, but hereby levies a 5% reparation tax on Elybria as its term of surrender - His Holiness encourages the other primary members of the Elybrian counter-attack (Topos and Mhork) to adopt this truce. 15% is a sound but fair reparation for the deaths of so many. The Luxian Army wishes to maintain a modest standing occupation force of 2500 troops in Elybria to uphold this reparation tax and assist in the poli-military transition period.

~Mr. Din'Financi

[Lord Mhork]

...why? What the fuck people? What ever happened to role playing nations and international politics? When did this just turn into a dumb war simulator?

[Lord Mhork]

If you will remember, it was to depose someone who was killing civilians. Not only that, but hostilities have since ceased and I have disarmed back to standing status

[Lord Mhork]

This game is such a joke it's not even funny

[Lord Mhork]

I had hoped there would be some level of actual roleplaying here rather than a herp-the-derp fight everyone with because lolz mentality. It's infuriating because no one seems to care at all about anything other than fighting and trying to be all secret insular despite the fact that that's not how the world works.

[Lord Mhork]

Like, seriously. Half the player base isn't even here

Thanks, RedPanda. I appreciate that. Roleplaying is kinda a big deal to me and stuff...
