My Sweden post is old men bickering so far... Exciting!

If one of them is some guy dressed as a viking who wants to revive that way of life, then... Yeah! Very exciting! :P

Aaron doesn't know what's happening anywhere outside of Asia, anyway.

It's mostly because I got two different messages from Veo and Vilage and I don't know which one is which. One minute we have Isreal and Palestine and the next Veo's hawing over super-Syria and Jordan and I don't know what's going on.

As far as what I did for Palestine, all they had was modern day Israel and Sinai, and were allied with Jordan, with nothing against Syria. I just added what I saw in here to my history, so... I don't really know what everyone wanted for post-war Palestine. It kind of went out of my hands after the switch.

So... Yeah. If it would be less confusing for me to take the US, I will.

North Korea is a member of the Third International, under which they get protection from China - and really anyone else in it - as well as a more international stage for dialog in and representation to front, debate, and decide the larger policy of the Comintern. Within this is also economic partnership and access to the Chinese Space and Science ministry (which I should work on bringing up in the near-future).I imagine they'd be annoyed that they didn't get all of Chosun from Japan in '71/'72. But they're not really a power capable of arguing the point real well or who can take on the entire Japanese Empire (which is open).South Korea is in effect an overseas territory of the greater Japanese Empire and not a wholly independent nation in the same way North Korea is. So if you wanted to play as Second-Best Korea you'd probably need to do some sort of independence movement.Per Iso: Welcome back.

I'm alright with playing either South or North Korea attempting to gain independence from the larger powers, and could work my idea in either state. I'll work on getting up an NS here shortly.

Eh, not sure why North Korea would rebel.

Frankly in a rather strange flip it seems like North Korea might be doing better than South Korea, it having a large base of support from the entire third international and South Korea being little more than a colonial possession.

Of course Aaron would know more than me.

Veo is coming from older semi-canon. When we gave Chrono Palestine in the old RP, we effectively gave him control of that cannon and he undid super-Syria. Jordan is part of either Palestine or Syria now. It would be peculiar to undo Chrono's work for Super-Syria because that would mean effectively indian-giving Chrono control of Palestinian canon. I was fine with conceding super-Syria when it looked like Chrono wasn't following us here, but now that he is here things are changed.

So I stand by Chrono on this. He should be allowed to pick up where he left off. If this had been an issue, Veo should have brought it up in the MCF months ago. The time for that is passed.

Lets face it though, North Korea would have very little to do. They are kind of beholden to the Chinese. Maybe not de-jure, but certainly de-facto.

I was under the impression from the lore summaries that North Korea was already independent, albeit in pacts and economic treaties with the Chinese. Granted, there really isn't much about the Koreas in the lore summaries, so I'm kind of working with what I'm being presented here.

I mean... I wouldn't mind having a united Levantine state. It was one of my goals, so if I can get away with saying they united, I'm totally up for it.

To IC and beyond!

I think this is true. They're not a part of China, just heavily influenced by them. Either way, I don't think a rebellion to get out of the Chinese sphere of influence would go very well. Not to mention that, given how much support they get from the Comintern, I doubt they'd want to get out of it and go back to being on their own in a region almost completely dominated by China and the Comintern.

A rebellion in South Korea might make a bit more sense, but you'd still be in a bad spot. Because in the end, even if you somehow succeed, you'll be sitting between China and the Comintern, and the Japanese Empire.

Apologies if this is answered in the Lore Summaries, but what exactly is the Comintern, and why is Korea so tied into it?

It's a Chinese-lead alliance of countries comparable to NATO. But it deals with more than just military stuff. North Korea isn't more tied to it than any other member, it's just a member of it.

Question where is aircraft development post canon wipe?

Jets are gone but are we early WW2 or late WW2? or are we even prewar?

I'd imagine we'd be beyond biplanes (but that's not to say we wouldn't still use them, I personally would like to mention them here and there). So I guess WWII-era planes, with Spain and China having some prototype jets like the ones near the end of WWII.

Ok so i was right in want my fighter was to be.

Also hugs 40% of Swedens airforce flies biplanes and the other part flies sluggish interwar period style monoplanes, so expect lots of biplanes in Sweden at least.

Gentlemen.



I know I mentioned it a few times that I've been looking for a theme song for Precipice. I've been thinking/mentioning it on and off in chats and on the old MCF thread since the RP turned three; if not longer.

Carbon Maestro - composer of the song here - is doing limited time commissions. He's charging 75 cents a second for songs 2-5 minutes long, leading to a 90 dollar minimum. I would be a fucking happy man if we can get this. However, at 90 dollars it's enough to make my currently unemployed heart stop.

Iffin' we're interested I could get my PayPal details together so we can pool our money and I can see about a commission from Carbon, if we don't run out of time. As Gorgen said, between four people it'll be a payment of 22.50. But I would need confirmation that four people have the spare funds, or how many there are who'd be interested in seeing a proper Precipice of War theme song made.

His commissions will close when it hits five people. So if we're doing this I need to know now.

Maestro's commission details: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aoeqr0CI14C8dE02TEhQVE1IeWJ0THpqbGlhVDd6c2c#gid=0

If I was in a position to donate i would but i'm short of cash this month.

If April looks better i'll see what i can do.

I can easily be one of the four.
