<Snipped quote by Skepic>Yup, that's more likely to get things going.
At first Yllendthyr would be neutral and only assist in offering alternative trade routes without touching Tin territory.
If it comes to actual war they would likely offer an alliance and may propose plans for a two pronged attack.

@Willy Vereb

And, should a two pronged attack against Tin start, you can assume I will be jumping in. This sounds like the start of a wondrous war.

Your merchants practically deal with anyone so long they pay.
I may not suspect you as a mastermind behind something like this because you would never go against Tin.
On the other hand trading weapons is okay so long it's conducted under the table.
So KalMea selling explosives to the rebels can make sense.

@Willy Vereb

AAAAGH, LOGICAL REASONING! Get it away!



But seriously, KalMea would not be very willing to disrupt Tin operations in the islands, since we hope to gain a piece of the property should they win out. If we have something to gain, we aren't going to help ruin it.

I supppose you could say the rebels promised us part of the islands, if they are granted independence, but if KalMea was suddenly allowed to set up colonies in the islands immieditly after they gain freedom...then, well, it would be painfully obvious to all other nations (including Tin, our strongest ally) that we had an under-the-table-deal with the native rebels.

In other words, KalMea has almost nothing to gain from this that wouldn't- excuse the pun- blow up in our face.

<Snipped quote by Mihndar>I doubt I'll be fighting Tin unless it provokes me.
Bombings happened on both sides, causing equal damage. It's obvious that whoever attacked it was enemies with both Yllendthyr and Tin.
After analyzis it'd be determined that military grade explosives were used and the kind which may not even be standard for either Tin or Yllendthyr.
So yeah, this whole plot is actually rather transparent.
Somebody either infiltrated Zanshir islands or supplying local rebels with weapons.
The question is who?
If the explosives are something Yllendthyr uses then it could be a rebel element in the local Drefgiad.
If the explosives are foreign then my first suspect is KalMea because I know they deal with advanced military grade explosives.
I could also suspect Avalia but they would only really attack Tin and they might be almost happy I have a presence in Zanshir.
And so on.

Generally it's just that a couple of bombs damaged buildings and killed people across the borders. It would certainly increase tension between the local forces but this alone won't be enough to cause war.
If Zanshir openly rises up against the two empires then it may even cause me to slightly cooperate with Tin for a while.
With hundreds of thousands of soldiers staging it's quite obvious that any kind of rebellion in the islands is bound to fail.
Long story short, you need more to actually cause a war.

I expected something more insidious which could've ended up with either side blaming the other. In addition I kinda overestimated the effects.
So yeah, Yllendthyr's response would be that another source of annoyance showed its head.
Whether these events later escalate into war or not depends on how all the other nations would react, IMO.

@Willy Vereb

Figuring out that this was a plot to turn the two sides against eachother seems fairly simple. Military grade explosives going off on both sides.

The only people who could profit from that are rebels or people against imperialism (*cough* P.R.K. *cough*). So, perhaps the evidence does not point directly to PRK, but it certainly does put the possibility of their involvement on the table.

You have insulted my honour!

My military is in the works, and it seems to be shaping up to be an odd combo between Nazi Germany and the U.S.A.

<Snipped quote by Mihndar>

Nice. I'll actually use that for Eisenkreis until I can get something better up. Assume that anything on the Germany page is in service in the Eisenkreis military.

@Alfhedil

XD I was basically doing the same thing with the American Military

My I.C. post will be up within the next 27 hours, 12 minutes, and 3 seconds.

If it's up even one second later, I will sacrifice my life to atone.

New Here!

Sounds like we share almost the exact same backstory, except I've been into RPing for about 3 years.

Either way, welcome to RPGuild.

The Sun Will Never Set (A Statisticless NRP)(It had a good run)

Don't worry about it too much, you are all about to have a dramatic population drop.

But, honestly, I think it makes more since now that we're raising our populations. It seemed odd for such a developed world to have so few people (relatively, I mean)

The Sun Will Never Set (A Statisticless NRP)(It had a good run)

<Snipped quote by Willy Vereb>

Those are some densely populated islands. I feel perhaps too densely populated.

@Mihndar

Ya, I think that's way too many people for the islands. They are, afterall, just being colonized. I doubt anyone is lining up to ship over there.

The Sun Will Never Set (A Statisticless NRP)(It had a good run)

Very well, I will attempt to create a new nation ASAP, RL allowing.

@Legion X51

I have a great religion you can use...

But in all seriousness, my I.C. won't be too long, I hope.
