I don't know what the JSOIF is, but context led me to reason it's some sort of spy device. If so, I'm annoyed at the implication that Yamatai has Tin's Royal Palace bugged, especially seeing as you didn't even ask me first or tell me what you were planning to do.

To avoid having a Sultan assassinated Tin would only allow the highest ranking nobles and bureaucrats onto the palace grounds to begin with, and the guards are elite soldiers that have been indoctrinated into the military since the age of six and raised to be disciplined beyond words. That means almost everybody would be either too rich or too loyal to be easily bribed, so even having a spy in the palace would be something of a stretch. The idea that they can actually listen in on the meeting strikes me as absurd given that this is just one tiny room in a massive palace that's under extremely high security, and on a fortified island to boot.

Speaking of meetings..


I've been waiting on the fabled, rare, mythical, fleeting creature known as Hael (That description makes him sound like a leprechaun or something ) to show his face and post...

As I said before, I'm open to just interacting with you for a while through dialogue or whatever if you can come up with some sort of idea.

They didn't have the royal palace bugged, they are literally just deploying after the Emperor told them too.

I'm not planning on having them steal military secrets or kill a royal family member, they're just their to see the side of Tin that the Sultanate doesn't want the Yamatai diplomat to see. At worse, they'll rile up the populace and add some fuel to the chaos if someone else starts it so they don't have to take the blame of starting it.

All in all, they'll probably end up as extra guards for the diplomat, in shadows of course.

If they're just sneaking into Tin and trying to stir up trouble, then fair enough. I don't have a problem with the idea of you actually gaining knowledge of Tin's doings (not much will be discussed that the world wouldn't already know or suspect, aside from a massive embargo) so much as the idea that Yamatai can somehow know what's going on inside of the palace.

As in for diplomats, keep in mind that we made a history between our nations a while back and they don't get along well. Your diplomats would be watched closely and not trusted, so sending in spies through the embassy probably wouldn't be the best way to do it. Probably better to just find someone who looks like a Tinite (or better yet, is one), teach them the language and culture of Tin, then smuggle them in. According to Mihndar (I think?) Tin is apparently bigger than Russia is in the real world, so it's feasible to sneak in a few spies into one of their borders that isn't watched closely.

They'll just press their face to the windows and hide under cardboard boxes and get info on the palace that way

That's more or less the plan. Get some people who look like Tinites/can pass as one/won't stick out in a urban area and transport them in some non-Yamatai affiliated caravan/trade ship or just plain old ninja-ing across the border. If all goes to plan, they won't have to get their hands dirty.

I told you, Cyclone, I was going offline for a few days. I just got back on the Internet yesterday, and that was only for an hour.

My post will be done tomorrow, though, if I don't become busy again.

But what's logic, planning, knowledge, or forethought when I can easily forget them so as to complain?

Oh god, I'm turning into Crompter.

Definitely.

The OP has established that you can either pick one of the few remaining map empty spaces or take one of the people's territories that haven't posted in a month.

Ironically that'd soon include me.
Perhaps a better idea could be to warn these "inactive" people again to see if they are still in.
And then declare NPC or abolish the nations by inactive players.
Sure, it's a tiny bit work-intensive but this is the most fair method, IMO.

Right, I had internet trouble for a month or so because I have literally the worst ISP in the US. Apologies to those affected by my absence. I am disappointed however, that someone would so casually disregard another person's writing and take up their creation for their own uses. It's kind of shameful, but whatever, I had my NS removed in a rare instance of sustained access to Guild.

I will say, however, that for what it's worth, I had a good time when I was active and with the original group. Even if I thought one of you was an absolute tosser =P

Not wasting original works but rather creatively building on them is shameful?

Guess every single fandom RP is shameful too then!

What's really shameful is that you make uneducated jabs without any knowledge as to what the story was to be.
