I have finally returned only to have to say that I will be gone for another week. But after that my schedule should be normal again. I'm sorry for not posting and I ask that if the RP progresses to much further to pretend that Umbra is kind of wherever it makes the most sense for him to be after following Athinar.
By the time they had returned to the village Umbra was no longer in the body of the imp. Deciding shortly before they left that it was much too fragile to take into such a deadly location, and risking a life threatening injury from a host was best avoided.
Once Athinar began barking his orders, the others around him quickly followed, almost enthusiastically. A strange trait to be seen from people such as themselves, then again he wasn’t one to judge. Once he had finally finished though Umbra was left without any hint of orders before Athinar himself began to run off. Being left with little to do, Umbra chose to follow him. Silently shadowing behind and barely keeping up with his speed, a thought that surprised him immensely.
Does anyone think it is reasonable to say that the Republic of Nigeria used its country as a strategic position for U.S. nuclear weapons during WWIII only for them to have seized it shortly after the war ended and have managed to maintain the small nuclear arsenal with what resources they have even expanding on it? I'm not to familiar with how realistic the scenario is with my very limited knowledge of nuclear weapons.
<Snipped quote by The Grey Warden> Also, weren't some countries freed up due to a number of players dropping out? Still waiting for the owner of Nigeria to quit and/or lose interest, but I might draft something playable in the mean time.
Sadly enough for you, no I wasn't one of the countries that got freed up or lost interest...
<Snipped quote by MetalLover> At the same time, calling off the crusade is equally silly. Instead, the conflict should be resolved diplomatically, or at least there should be a standoff that ends with no further conflict, and then a transition into the world's nations falling into discrete power blocs based on the events that just transpired.
We could have it end in an armistice similar to how the Korean War transpired. No real peace treaty and both countries could attack at anytime, but also fearing the repercussions of a full scale war.
Daifallah Mir sat in his chair, silently brooding over the recent events that had unfolded. The idea that the world around him is just now beginning to fall apart so close to elections was intimidating to say the least. If he could not prove that Nigeria is still a powerful political factor in world government than he would most likely lose the campaign to Hamidi, or even worse Waheed.
There was a light knock on the door to his office followed by the president quietly grumbling “Come on in.” The door silently opened, and the Chief general of the republic of Nigeria, Badr Hussain. A close friend of Hamidi, but arguably the second best man for the job to Hamidi himself. Nigeria had a long history of being ruled by Military Juntas who chose a successor or where overthrown by them, and Hamidi logically chose the only man who posed a threat to his rule as his successor, Hussain.
“The Emperor of Ethiopia has just recently passed, and his son, a young man, has taken power in Ethiopia as you may already be aware.” Daifallah Mir nodded slightly in both agreement and to urge him to continue. “As you are also aware it seems that a Muslim extremist was responsible for his death. A most…” He paused for a second, before continuing “unfortunate turn of events. It is safe to assume that the boy will not take kindly to Muslim, especially Sunni countries and allies. It is almost just as safe to assume that he could possibly declare war on the Caliphate, ignoring previous assurances given to our country.”
Mir let out a deep sigh. “I am well aware of the political ramifications of the recent murder of Emperor Zakariah, and the hate that his son may hold in his heart.” He silently stood up, and began to pace around the office. “Either way though we must maintain political dominance in this situation, or not only will the my presidency, but the very future of the entire damned country will be at stake.”
“Also one more thing.” Hussain quickly shouted before Mir had a chance to escort him outside of the office. “It seems the United States of Africa, that small minor with more Nigerian guns than it deserves, is displeased with us. They fear that we are going to march into their country and strip away their military, and albeit I have half the mind to if the continue these obsured theories.”
“Even if we do, than it is one more political enemy that we can’t afford. Integrating them is much better than conquering them, they have already fought back our military in the past, why go out of our way to start another unnecessary war?” He stopped, and finally sat back down once again. “We need to focus on one problem. Assure the USA that they can keep what guns they have, as long as our military remain in charge of them and we maintain a healthy grip on their countries education.” Hussain simply nodded and began to leave.
I to feel as if the world is slowly falling to the hands of madmen and dictators with little self control. While we can’t directly aid you against the coming invasion of South Asia and Mexico, we, the people of Nigeria, would gladly accept a defensive pact in case of Ethiopian aggression. If he so much as steps into the Egypt or any part of the Caliphate’s land, then we will be the first to rush to your aid.
We gladly accept, and as previously stated our president will be arriving with the requested convoy. We look forward to settling the situation in the middle east.
As president of Nigeria I would like to formally apologies for the death of your father. It pains me to have lost such a well respected member of the international community, and I can only hope that you live up to his name. We hope that Nigerian and Ethiopian relations can continue as always.
We would like to make you aware that we have no intention of taking away any of your weapons given to you by us many years ago, so long as we continue business as usual. We simply want to educate the people of the USA, and to maintain a firm eye on the political state of your country and that our weapons are only used for defensive means. The Republic of Nigeria understands that this may seem intrusive, but we feel that this is the best way to handle our, current, situation. That is all.
