Immediately afterwards? Sigh... While true, you should have noticed by now that instead of continuing to yell and threaten, I managed to regain my composure and keep myself coherent. Compared to my previous shows of bad temper, my current behavior, though not perfect, is still an improvement and can be negotiated with, whereas before I would have shouted and screamed for four or five hours.

I realized how arrogant this statement was, true or not. I feel bad about it.

Nevertheless, I still feel like Pagemaster's phrasing could have been more clearly stated; he could have just said that my nation's backstory would have steered it to the point of open war with Britain (which didn't happen for [i]two more years[/i] IRL and only after a second Egyptian Invasion of the Ottoman Empire). The grand majority of what I had was from IRL history, and I don't think any of you argued against that part.

(The exception was siding [i]with[/i] the minorities in the Ottoman Empire close to the start of the RP.)

Edit: Sorry for the quadruple post!

Edit 2: Also, here is proof that my nation's history is IRL History:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian%E2%80%93Ottoman_War_(1831%E2%80%931833)

Edit 3: After consulting with someone else, I found out that I was dead wrong about Pagemaster's intentions and that he wasn't actually trying to intimidate me into dropping my nation claim through OOC smack-talk. I will admit fault for this, and also that I didn't know how the NRP community worked.

That said, despite my foolish and harsh words, it was an honest mistake; I was ignorant about how other people worked and I still am. But now I know just why I was wrong.
