My country's intelligence service has been trying to convince me that you're King Edward. After the past few days, I not only think you're not King Edward, I think you've never read any of his posts.OOC: Just for the record, Bosworth didn't declare war on Shireroth nor has there ever been a declaration of war .
You can carry on some sort of backstory thread if you like, although preferably not in this board as i want it gone ASAP, on condition that things are wrapped up by July 1st as stated in the treaty. I don't think i have time to take part myself however.
I'm not the lawyery type, so I don't know or really care what counts as an official declaration of war. But I do know that Shireroth and Britannia were planning to hold a recwar (which, by the way, was what confused me into thinking you were in the war before when I attacked Darwin; once again, sorry). Suddenly King Edward shot missiles at Shireroth and posted an OrBat. This led to the following conversation:
I hope you will understand why it is my impression that Bosworth started this war and wanted to participate in it. If not, reading the Deployment thread should provide more justification.King Edward wrote:Holtons crew ordered to open fire on Shirerithian ships with all weapons at this disposal including shoulder launch anti-tank missles or commit suicide. No sailors or marines to be taken alive at any cost.Guido Zambelis wrote:the war, it has not started.King Edward wrote:Considering I agreed to neither a judge nor a charter it's irrelivant when you say its started, if i'm the one doing the fighting then i'm the one who decided when a war is or is not happening regardless of what you say.
I will continue the St. Jean storyline in Shireroth, although I'm annoyed at having to do so. The government of Shireroth will of course follow the timeline laid out in Khan-Bellamy, but other actors, including non-state actors, are under no obligation to do so, and the story might continue arbitrarily long. I repeat that we will not attempt to enforce our version of St. Jean history on Bosworth, the MCS, or anyone else, so it is no trouble of yours.
I would like to request from the Bosworthian government links to all cultural development previously done on St. Jean, since Ardashir has pointed out we're still not even sure what the capital is (I will admit I am also curious in a sadistic sort of way exactly how much cultural development has been done on it up to this point to justify your obvious emotional investment in it) Links to detailed maps would also be really helpful if available.

Having only been Duke for just over a week i haven't had time to invest substantial amounts of time in the Island, which is after all just a small part of the Duchy as a whole, however here is what is currently availible:

Zoomed in map:
Flag of Isle St Jean:
Brief profile:
Backstory to the foundation of Gascony (no specific reference to the island)Isle St Jean fact file
Capital City: Pierrefeu
Region: Duchy of Gascony
Area: 12,600 Square Miles
Population: 169,245 Approx
Status: Overseas Territory of the Kingdom of Bosworth
Head of State: King Wentworth I
Head of Ducal Government: Duke Jeremy of Gascony
Geography: Isle St Jean is generally a reasonably low lying island with its highest point, Mont St Jean just outside of Pierrefeu, rising to around 784ft above sea level. However the most noticeable changes in elevation occur at the coast where sea cliffs measure up to 140ft above sea level giving the island a spectacular appearance from the ocean and distant mainland. Much of the once forested landscape has now been turned over to farming and so the rolling hills of Isle St Jean often support crops such as wheat and barley, however in some areas the once vast Forest of St Michael survives still to provide islanders and visitors alike with a stunning wooded landscape. Residents on the island must endure harsh winters and scorching summers in addition to constant high wind speeds all of which make life of Isle St Jean tricky, however these conditions have proved to be ideal for many species of native plants and animals. The River Fraternité is Isle St Jeans main natural waterway with its delta located slightly north-west of Aspremont while its source can be found near Silignac.

OOC: I (I'm not sure what other Lagerhuis-members think) will reject every peace treaty if the Bosworthian governement doesn't give excuses because of the attack in a densely populated area, where there isn't even a military base (there are hospitals, orphanages, millions of citizens living in the center of the city,...)!
I want the excuses written in the treaty and that both sides condemn the military action.
Negotations can, of course, start.
Jeremy. If you wanted peace, you could have asked first before thinking about bombing more innocent citizens.
Because we where rebuilding the country (or: we hadn't much time) we hadn't much interest in other things.
(this isn't meant serious of course)

OOC: Why post it if it wasn't serious? Your posts contradict themselves in that one day you say you have a sophisticated air defence system in the city and the next you say it's the setting for a multitude of real life Oliver Twist stories with Florence Nightingale thrown in for extra effect.
How about you explain why you invaded your innocent neighbour for no reason?

OOC: Ow, Jeremy you are a little child that always complains and take everything too serious. That's why I posted it isn't serious.
And what has Oliver Twist to do with this?
How about you explain that Bosworth attacked the ships and began the war? How about you explain why you tried to bomb cities to get peace, while Batavia hadn't attacked in weeks and was rebuilding the country? I don't even need answers, because you will react (again) like a madman.
(I'm sorry for what I'm saying but it gets very annoying)

Of course it's nothing more than a minor irritation to have your country invaded.
Here's the real issue. Jeremy, contrary to your beliefs, is not taking it seriously. It was all fine at the start, then you lot took it too far, that's why people flared/are flaring up.

I'm not really annoyed by the attack at our capital, it's always fun to get some action.
Batavia's policy was always very clear from the beginning: we don't claim or rule (not in real, in stories it's possible) land from other nations. I nowhere see that we changed our minds.Here's the real issue. Jeremy, contrary to your beliefs, is not taking it seriously.

We aren't puppets of Shireroth (or another nation) so if Jeremy wanted peace he must had contact the Batavian representants and not the Shirerithians.

Perhaps the posts where i dramatized a story of two pensioners into being a mix of Thunderbirds, Stingray and Taggart were lost upon your sense of humour, however there was a slight implication in there that maybe i'm not taking this entirely seriously. While you may accuse me of being like a "little child", was I the one who went off in a tantrum because the opposition, better known as "that nation next door that we invaded to suck up to Shireroth" to you, fired back after you'd been occupying a sovereign nation for a month.
From the start Batavia have been an irritation to all sides with their amazing warships that can apparently move a thousand miles in a matter of seconds and your less than realistic and questionably existant air defence systems. We'd all be better off if this just ended.
