^ It isn't unreasonable to expect the players controlling China and Japan to know that the two countries aren't exactly the best of pals. [quote=Ampharos] Outcast is the only one who can determine what should and should not happen in this game, so I'm not sure why you're complaining so much. Presumably, he approved of the blockade, the revolt against the queen, the Sino-Japanese alliance, and, most recently, China's intervention in the war. If you don't like it, I imagine you could just bring it up with him in private, telling him that you disagree with the course that this game is taking, or, alternatively, not play. Nobody is forcing you to play a game with Pasta Sentient and MagnificentOne.[/quote] It isn't a matter of me 'not liking it', it's a matter of it contributing to the absolute separation of this roleplay from anything having to do with reality. The fact that the decisions made aren't to my benefit is incidental. If Prussia decided to found the Thule Society in 1864 and form the Third Reich more than half a century early, I'd be calling out that, too.
