Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

Now to watch the Turkish War of Independence event chain happen and see the Greeks and Armenians get their ass kicked out of Anatolia

@Wilted Rose

That would honestly be a realistic scenario, but this is PoW.

Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

Here's what I got from wikipedia:

It is believed the name was changed to Armenia after the country of the same name, in memory of the Armenian people murdered in the Turkish Ottoman Hamidian Massacres of 1894-97 in Western Armenia, and later the Armenian Genocide of 1915-23. It is also known by its nickname "Ciudad Milagro" (Miracle city). Currently, 100 Armenians live in Armenia, Colombia.

There are currently 100 Armenians there thinking they are living in the fatherland. EDIT: In other news, another night goes by with me staring at a text box without being able to muster up a post. Wooo.

Its been a few months since you posted atleast. The irony is you rushed me into posting that one letter because you said it would give you something to write about, then you never responded with anything.

@duck55223

To be fair you half-assed the fuck out of that letter. It's like complaining to some starved dude for starving because he couldn't sustain himself on the fully-eaten apple core you gave him.

If writing down an IC post was as easy as writing an argument I'd be up there with Spain, China and Ethiopia.

@vilageidiotx That was pretty much my concern too. Coming out of nowhere just to try and change the current status of jets is just.. I don't know, worrisome. It makes it so much harder to determine whether or not this is a gamey move on your part 'cause yeah, you'll be going through the development, but it's too soon, you know? It'd be better if you did other shit first. It feels like you spent time researching how to skirt around the limitations we put in your way when you should have been spending time figuring out how to write a cool story (and writing a fucking app). That to me is a big red flag that tells me you'll just be trying to break the shit we put in place for good a reason. Your motivation shouldn't be technological. it should be story-driven. You're also not known for sticking around. And yeah, I'm not one to talk, but I am also not trying to make jets. If you are going to do something like this, I'd prefer if you proved that you'll stick around first, instead of leaving it half-finished or something and forcing us to brush even more shit under the carpet. I am not sure I like your focus on technology as a whole, though. This is a bit nitpicky but it's just weird. I know you like to stamp 'technocracy' on a lot of shit and honestly, the concept of a technocracy is just.. ugh. Stupid? Silly? Whatever it is, it's also not fitting to Poland, or to PoW in general. A more legitimate concern I have though (but that sort of ties a bit into the previous one) is that Poland shouldn't really be trying to make jets anyway. They have waaaay bigger problems. They should be spending their time, energy and resources on trying to keep the unlikely empire they have built. Ukraine and Czechland are probably a huge strain on the Polish economy right now, and this is without even going into how you may have to deal with things like nationalist movements. Poland has, in a away, inherited the role of Austria-Hungary. They are a multiethnic "empire" that should be plagued by problems within its own borders that ultimately strain its ability to focus on much else, at least until they are sorted. Not to mention Poland is a power in a land devastated by the Great War, with three of the major combatants (Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia) having launched campaigns on its soil, and should still be feeling some of the effects of that. They are most certainly not the major power they probably look like when you look at them on the map. Maybe back when Keen was in charge it was, but only because that was back before we decided we needed a heavier hand to deal with nonsensical shit. Now, Poland is going to have to face its many problems. It is not an absolute shithole, but it is probably not a power so great it can afford to start developing jets while its economy is caved in by the strain/cost of its annexations and subsequent rebuilding of infrastructure in those places (especially Ukraine), its on-going occupation of Moscow, and other problems that are probably prevalent and take a front seat to "omg we ned jets". I also have to question how likely it is that jets would even surface in Poland before places like Germany and France. EDIT: I meant your motivation shouldn't be technological, not that it should be. I fixed it.

Given how that was retconned without his say from something greater to a simple economic union, I don't think he would know what its policies are. I suppose it is something he could expand on in IC but as of now there is nothing written on paper. Just assume it is something like the EU.

Yeah, I wouldn't join one in another board. In an RPGuild WiR, you may get into a five-page argument about overlapping treaties, nonsensical shit, and troop numbers but over there you'll probably have to fight off hitmen in real life if you do something wrong. That may be an exaggeration.

Unrelated: Aaron needs to replace the old, ugly map in the OP with the newer one being passed around. I know you have an unreasonable attachment to that map, but come on, that thing's pretty shit. And you never update it. You might as well use one that is going to be updated for you.
