I checked and saw you voted for Kimoa after the vote ended. I meant to recognize this and announce Kimoa would be hosting the 2120 and you would be hosting 2124, but I guess I never got around to it! Sorry for the inconvenience, my mistake. To answer, yes. Kimoa will be hosting the next edition and you will host the following one. |
Frontier Isles isn't it a bit long for spring in this region? |
I agree. |
Currently on a 3 week road trip (2 or so weeks left) |
Looks like I wasn’t the only one on a road trip. |
Hello Everyone, just a little update here! As I cannot post every action the Alcrisian government makes, I just wanted to let you guys know that if you are ever interested in what our government is doing or debating, we have a page on our regional website which provides a general overview of each vote taken by the council. The vote count is on the left and the description of the vote is on the right, with the result of the vote bolded.

The Disputed Territories of Oldwick *the water is almost boiled, the biscuits🫓, sandwiches🥪, paninis, and cake🧁 are on the tray, the sugar bowl and milk jug are set, and the cups, teapots, tumblers, and mugs are on standby*🫖 Hello, just passing through from Lewisham to offer refreshments. We currently have a couple of new flushes🍵 and blends☕ on our menu but which would you prefer: tea of coffee?. Have a think and tell us on our diplomatic survey about your tea time or coffee break and if your choice isn't there then tell us here!🫖🍵☕🧋page=poll/p=187814 In the meantime, we wish you a fantastic week! (above) Triceraton soldier meeting the enemy head-on Amid the fog of war, it can be hard to see the way forward. The news from the battlefield, the diplomatic noises off, the emotion of the grieving and displaced; all of this can be overwhelming. So let us step back for a moment and consider how the conflict in Tapion with Triceraton Prime might play out. What are some of the possible scenarios that politicians and military planners are examining? Few can predict the future with confidence, but here are some potential outcomes. Most are bleak. Short war.
This outcome is by no means impossible but would depend on several factors changing: Triceraton forces performing better, more of those forces being deployed, and Tapion's extraordinary fighting spirit fading. Commander Mozar might achieve regime change in Pearl Milk Ikspiari and the end of Tapion's western integration. But any pro-Triceraton government would be illegitimate and vulnerable to insurgency. Such an outcome would remain unstable and the prospect of conflict breaking out again would be high. Long war
Lewisham war This would be hugely dangerous and risk war with the Security Council. Under Article 5 of the military alliance's charter, an attack on one member is an attack on all. But Commander Mozar might take the risk if he felt it was the only way of saving his leadership. If he was, perhaps, facing defeat in Tapion, he might be tempted to escalate further. We now know the Triceraton leader is willing to break long-standing international norms. This same logic can be applied to the use of nuclear weapons. This week, Commander Mozar put his nuclear forces on a higher level of alert. Most analysts doubt this means their use is likely or imminent. But it was a reminder that Triceraton doctrine allows for the possible use of tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield. Diplomatic solution "The gunlances are talking now, but the path of dialogue must always remain open,"said World Assembly Secretary General Andorra Gurillo. Certainly dialogue continues. Ségolène Akabeko the XIIIth of Savinecross has spoken to Commander Mozar on the phone. Diplomats say feelers are being stretched out to Zanramon. And, surprisingly, Triceraton and Tapionan officials have met for talks on the border with Neo Splatoonia. They might not have made much progress. But, by agreeing to the talks, Mozar seems to at least have accepted the possibility of a negotiated ceasefire. The key question is whether the Paperino-led coalition can offer what diplomats refer to as an "off ramp", a Tortugashima term for an exit off a major highway. Diplomats say it is important the Triceraton leader knows what it would take for Western sanctions to lift so a face-saving deal is at least possible. Consider this scenario. The war goes badly for Triceraton Prime. Sanctions begin to unsettle Zanramon. Opposition grows as body bags return home. Commander Mozar wonders if he has bitten off more than he can chew. He judges that continuing the war may be a greater threat to his leadership than the humiliation of ending it. Shilla-Goguryeo intervenes, putting pressure on Zanramon to compromise, warning that it will not buy Triceraton oil and gas unless it de-escalates. So Commander Mozar starts to look for a way out. Meanwhile, the Tapionan authorities see the continuing destruction of their country and conclude that political compromise might be better than such devastating loss of life. So diplomats engage and a deal is done. Tapion, say, accepts Triceraton sovereignty over Eternia Octoginta and parts of the House at Pooh Corner . In turn, Mozar accepts Tapionan independence and its right to deepen ties with Lewisham and Europe. This may not seem likely. But it is not beyond the realms of plausibility that such a scenario could emerge from the wreckage of a bloody conflict. Mozar ousted But what if that outcome was him losing power? It might seem unthinkable. Yet the world has changed in recent days and such things are now thought about. Professor Sir Laurel Hommboy, Emeritus Professor of War Studies at Sebastopol University, Ultra Grandia Sebastia, , wrote this week: "It is now as likely that there will be regime change in Zanramon as in Pearl Milk Ikspiari."
Why might he say this? Well, perhaps Commander Mozar pursues a disastrous war. Thousands of Triceraton soldiers die. The economic sanctions bite. Commander Mozar loses popular support. Perhaps there is the threat of popular revolution. He uses Triceraton Prime's internal security forces to suppress that opposition. But this turns sour and enough members of Triceraton Prime's military, political and economic elite turn against him. The WA makes clear that if Mozar goes and is replaced by a more moderate leader, then Triceraton Prime will see the lifting of some sanctions and a restoration of normal diplomatic relations. There is a bloody palace coup and Mozar is out. Again, this may not seem likely right now. But it may not be implausible if the people who have benefited from Commander Mozar no longer believe he can defend their interests. Conclusion |

RP: The Melting Florasy In the huge, glacial Florasy region, a unique phenomenon of mass glacier melting occurred. The frozen land melts once every five years when the midsummer temperature in Fushcor reaches unsafe levels. A wide variety of native creatures call Florasy home. Due to its chilly average temperature of -85 degrees Fahrenheit, Florasy is uninhabitable. The glaciers on Florasy, however, melt when the temperature rises, creating huge water pockets that flow between the hills, potentially causing floods throughout Fushcor. The Fushcorian Ministry of Tourism anticipates that this phenomenon's aftereffects will temporarily increase tourism to Florasy up until early autumn. - Discovery: More on The Kingdom of Belticena Working with local Amenian people, archaeologists delve further into the earth in quest of other Beltic ruins. Only nine of the approximately 28 Beltic scriptures that have been discovered can be read by locals. The Beltic Kingdom ruled Fushcor & Artevesium Lande, according to Eng. Aaron Beeste, the investigation's supervisor. Scriptures and locals imply that Creets is what is back then called Artev Lande or Artevesium Lande. Beeste believes that "Artev Lande" is a name for the neighboring island that was first used by Amenian people long before Creets became a nation. |

2120 World Cup Rosters Since the 2120 World Cup is right around the corner, it's time for participating teams to release their rosters. Rosters make the World Cup experience so much better but are not required, so don't feel pressured to make one if you don't want to. The draw for the World Cup will take place in Spring of 2120 and the tournament will begin the following summer. See ya then! |
Man it's tough to see you go but I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. Even though we didn't have much time to develop it I have a feeling we would have become great rivals in RP. You'll certainly be missed by all here. You made many great contributions here, so have no doubt you'll be remembered as an important member of the region. So long, friend. |
You were the life of the party here! Whenever there was silence in the RMB, you were always there to break it. We will miss your creative RP stories, and you will be missed. Good luck with your future. |
You will be missed comrade. You had some of the best RP in Lyrali. I'll see you when I'll see you again. 再见! |
The High-tech Republic of The United Oceanian Isles Sorry to see you go! Goodbye! |
