Recwar, anyone?
Re: Recwar, anyone?
I'm still up for a recwar. Sadly, no spaceships will be involved, because I never got around to scoring those.

I'd be up for judging a Recwar

Objective mechanisms have been tried and failed. They tend to get boring. Anunia does however require a competent and active judge.Duke Sinclair wrote:Is there actually a precedent for "simple" Anunia Recwars? Judging by the wars in the archive, they've all become very confusing and complicated. I guess thats what happens when you dont have an actual objective mechanism for determining outcomes. Oh well.

I'd like to have a look at some specific examples. If you could send me some links, I'd appreciate it. Or if you could just provide me with the names of those wars, that would be cool too.

It also depends how much is at stake and if everyone's on the same page - if it's just a war for fun, and people are agreed as technology/magic/realism level, then it can actually go quite smoothly, and a lot of things can be sorted out reasonably between the two differing parties for most arguments (cf pretty much any internal Gralan/Novatainian/Tokian war). The problems come when people are taking it super seriously and have differing standards of technology/magic/realism (cf most international wars, particularly with regards to differing standards on how realistic things need to be).Malliki wrote:Objective mechanisms have been tried and failed.

So, yeah, with a judge who's paying attention and people being reasonable about it, Anunia can totally work

Re: Recwar, anyone?
Ergonia is somewhat open to the idea of a rec-war.
As of a couple of months ago, I have made it a point
(to instruct my deputies) to include, in every new treaty
that Ergonia signs with another nation, that the nations
are to follow ANUNIA if they decide to rec-war.
However it may take some time and incentives before
Ergonia actually commits to being involved in one.

The Island Federation of Gong and Jingdao urges the other nations of Micras to solve their issues in peaceful ways and is willing to offer mediation when desired.
