Vox Public Announcement

[Beta]

Earlier today, GhengisFarb of Glory of War made the following public statement:

"It may be a bit before we pass on the save, we are preparing for the first Intercontinental War.

Vox invaded Bob with a force of Immortals."

Vox Controli would like share the facts with you. We have not declared war on any civilization. Our military on Bob consists of two immortals and one spearman.

From our perspective we have also not invaded any civilization. We have not crossed any territorial borders. In fact, we cannot see any borders other than those of Vox Controli. The land is free and unclaimed. And an important point to note is that the territory we currently occupy is very much closer to the Voxian capitol than that of Neu Demogyptica or Glory of War, let alone RolePlay. In fact - it is only four tiles from The Voice - the capitol of our nation.

Our intent is to live in peace and harmony with the Bobian/Borconian civilizations of the continent. Our expansion plans are very modest. However, they have threatened us with war if we settle. They claim the land is theirs, and that we have no right to settle. When pushed - they admit that their position is not one based on fairness, but rather on a matter of force - three civilzations against one.

We have reached a temporary agreement to avoid hostilities. But we wanted the international community to know of this gross injustice, and the intransigence of our world neighbours.

The land is free and unclaimed

GoW/ND 'claimed' the area, as it is old Lux territory.

Ah - excuse me. But this was never Lux territory either. That is certainly a stretch.

[History Guy]

Voxians on Bob, eh?

Perhaps we can trade!

Squid for copies of the Book of the Controlians?

You chaps will love Spanish squid, you know. It's simply heavenly...

History Guy - your leaders were not this friendly.

And the book is not for sale or trade or even viewing by the unenlightened. After all - there is only one.

You forgot to add the settler. This is an invasion force and cannot be describes as anything else.


Need I remind the public that the last time Vox made a "Public Announcement" it was that they had commited the Genocide of the remainder of the Luxian people?

[Dis]

that was not genocide!!

We killed no civilians. In fact those were our civilians. We just repatrioted them.

We did have to dispose of the Luxian goverment though. Someting we didn't want to have to do.

The sooner Vox realises the foolishness of this statement, the sooner diplomatic relations can return to their normal level.

"Unclaimed Territory" "Closer to our Capital" is irrelevent. What is important, is it is the first intercontinental expansion from a team into an already occupied continent.

Ask Lego what there stance would be if you landed on their huge landmass..

Ask RP their response if you landed in South Bob

Ask ND their response if you landed in Middle Bob.

Ask GS what their response would be if a nation landed on the bottom half of their continent.

Ask yourself what you would say if GoW landed 3 riders and a settler in your top half. I am sure you have "free and unclaimed territory". Do you think we would see Vox welcome us with open arms ????
If fact, can we assume your northern land is free for all teams to land and settle there ?

You will find the international community scoffing at the idea of allowing their own continents to be settled upon. This is complete foolishness.

[Dis]

if you are going to claim a continent as yours you could at least publically say it. We were unaware of any land being claimed. If the land is indeed GOW's then we will make arrangements with them.

I'll start off. We claim the parts of Estonia not claimed by GS

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Lux claims the world, any space not already in someone's cultural border is Lux territory and any settlement there will be considered an act of war by Lux.

[Togas]

The Roleplay Team must stand beside Neu Dem and GoW on this issue. It is important for the peace and stability of our continent, and we urge the Voxians to understand that our northern neighbors are VERY willing to go to war over this issue.

So instead of just being at odds with three nations, you'd prefer to be at odds with four, one of them your neighbors nonetheless? Tread lightly....

The GS would not not recognize any supposed claim to the lands you call "Estonia".

[Beta]

Mes - I think Dissident was making the statement to try and explain the absurdity of the argument being put forth by the Bobians. It is in no way a statement or expression of aggression against GS.

[Meshelic]

Ahh touch'e!

On that note, due to my leave of absences due to military life, I hardly have a voice to represent the GS in any official (or even UNOFFICIAL) manner anyways, so lol, think nothing of it.

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Should we make a new thread Officially declaring war?
