I like it, but I'm not one of the chief participants in the war, so my vote's kind'a moot. But I do like that idea a lot.

Hmmm...the thing is my post won't be done until later tonight. Like around 7 pm Atlanta, Georgia time lol. You know what? Go ahead and post. I'll adjust accordingly. As long as the clan isn't in total shambles then it shouldn't affect me too much.

@Lexicon

What have you done...?

...

I'll wait to post. I'd rather see what you have available. Remember, my original plan was to post this on Sunday, and it's Saturday, so patience is a virtue I'll practice.

Seeing a person live for the first time in years this weekend

They were dead?

New Dawn Rising

Looks good to me. Reminder that I have yet to ask around people about nation relations.

Anyways, if you used to have Hungarian hardware then I suppose your HK-27s are also older models, likely upgraded domestically.
As for competition my original idea was that you'd be the host and the results could decide which tank to adopt.

@Willy Vereb

That will work. I can arrange that to be part of my introductory post - preparations for an event of that nature in the future.

And yeah, I see these as mostly older models that have gotten some upgrades in Malagasy to make up for their age, but they're still... well, old tanks.

We know Jodesia was the opposing side, with Fracno-Iberia and The Hungarian League on the other(Not sure if Malagasy Enterprises participates.)

@Sigma

I guess it'd depend on who else participated in that war?

If it was just Jodesia vs. Franco-Iberia and Hungary, then Malagasy Enterprises would probably stay out of that. They'd have it covered, and there are no formal alliances between Malagasy Enterprises and the major world powers. However, they'd totally have kept trading with their business partners.

If there was a truly serious threat to the survival of their partners, Madagascar would send supplies and troops to help out Franco-Iberia and Hungary. So, if the war turned out to be a close victory, then Madagascar would have jumped in and helped.

Besides that, the corporation has probably been busy butting heads with the Great Han.

@Shorticus An interesting idea, but all up to you really. I'm good with anything.

@Sigma

In that case, let's leave it as a huge question mark. It can be implied that MAYBE there were some dealings between the East Africa Trade Group and the U.S. involving genetics, but there's no solid proof for or against the idea.

@Brink_@Willy Vereb Gonna go ahead and make it a finalized statement: Malagasy Enterprises USED to buy its tanks chiefly from Hungary. However, in recent years (15 or so years) it's been buying more tanks and planes from Franco-Iberia instead due to their common background. The one tank it still buys from Hungary is the HK-27 Lehel, which is a tank most Peacekeepers are familiar with and so has proven harder to phase out. If a contest between the two nations goes down to prove who makes the better tanks, then Malagasy Enterprises will watch with GREAT interest.

The HK-27 is a mainline tank, so this is actually a considerable purchase Malagasy Enterprises makes.

@Inkdrop Mutants/abhumans/etc. are tolerated in Corporate Madagascar. That's not to say they're loved; they're definitely treated as second class citizens. But they're tolerated. Malagasy Enterprises puts money first and would happily make deals with your nation if it seemed profitable.

@Nerevarine Should we work out what sort of bad blood there may be between our nations? Past wars? It seems very likely to me that they've tangled with each other in the past. I reckon that your nation has the superior navy, but my nation's population and probable land superiority have kept them pretty evenly matched with some wars resulting in losses for one side and some for the other.

@Monkeypants Yeah, I think Corporate Madagascar is definitely supporting the separatists because they figure the two main North American nations aren't going to try punching Madagascar with the distance between them, and they've got a lot to gain by having a third major power crop up in North America (though the Grogar are 100% not compatible with Malagasy needs). So, they're supporting the separatists. That could cause some tension.

With that said, they'd happily help the NAU expand its borders into South America. Why? Because the NAU is friendly with Franco-Iberia. By helping the NAU, Malagasy Enterprises hopes to earn the favor of its "kindred" state, Franco-Iberia. This would probably come in the form of public praise for the NAU's efforts to "civilize the south," trade deals, and maybe even some small military support once the fight gets to Brazil. Both nations are in punching range of that place, after all.

@Isotope We've already agreed that our nations have a cold, standoffish relationship, aye?

@Taeryn Okay, so since both nations are willing to set aside ideals for the sake of mutual benefit and profit (because of course they are), do we want to establish what sort of relationship they have? Trade would definitely be involved.

I'll add that Corporate Madagascar's relationship with your nation will also depend on your nation's relationship with Hungary. Madagascar doesn't want to upset Hungary too much if it can avoid it. They've got a good business relationship going on.

Masters of the Hidden Valley

Okay, so my post is mostly written, but I'm gonna pause for a sec:

@Lexicon Did you want to finish writing your own post before I made mine? It'd be good to know exactly what all you're bringing on your trek, too. I know I suggested you bring a fighter type or two, but that's up to you.

Masters of the Hidden Valley

Okay, I awaken! It's morning. Writing stuff now.

States of Evolution

If any of you by some chance live nearby let me know eh? Anyways, going to explore this city a bit before trying to get further North.

@neogreggory

I'm just imagining these words being used in a Fallout 4 sort of sense.

You aren't dragging a hatchet and illegal firearms around, are you?

New Dawn Rising

I have to sleep, but I'll discuss more RP stuff in the morning, then I'll post in the IC. I've got two other roleplays I'm prioritizing first though (States of Evolution, MotHV).

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

<Snipped quote by Shorticus>

"I saw one of Craster's daughters give birth to a boy. I saw 'em leave it out in the woods... An' then I saw what took it..."

"You mean you saw one of them?"

"Yeah, fuckin' dragons!"

"Wait, dragons?"

"Yeah. I don't know how the fuck a lizard survives out in the cold. Must be why they're tryin' to come over the wall."

...Dammit, now I want to write the whole thing and send it to George just to piss him off...

@Sombrero

DO IT. Holy crap, PLEASE.
