March 14th, 1912 MY (Macky Year)

Chancellor Office, Macky Council, Metropolis

"They did what?!?' Chancellor Mellian, looking up from her desk to the Foreign Advisor

"The Romans, the Americans and the English have place Trade Embargoes on us" Foreign Advisor replies.

"Why would they do that?" she ask before thinking.

"Apparently, they didn't appreciate your message asking them to use proper Diplomatic Channels next time they have complaints" replied the Advisor

Mellian sighs and ask the Chief of Staff to organize an Advisory meeting for this afternoon, to discuss the matter. After the they both left, she turned around to look outside the large window, where she sees the Late-Industrial Era City of Metropolis. So much as change, yet somethings doesn't...

This whole matter with the Romans, Americans and English started when they complained about the Macky's latest annexations of some unclaimed islands, whom they believe to be completly useless other then cluttering up the Pacific and Carribean Oceans. What bothered her is that they went off complaining directly to the newly appointed Governors of those newly colonized islands instead of sending messages directly to her.

Soon afterwards, out of annoyance, she sent them a message asking them that next time they want to complain, use proper diplomatic channels. She also ordered the Navy to sent some more Destroyer Squadrons to the islands. Well, it seems they took it the wrong way and went as far as having Trade Embargoes on the Macky Commonwealth.

She just hopes she can resolve the matter before it goes out of proportions...

OOC: sorry for taking long to do the first post, trying to find a better title then Chancellor and started working on a world map for the story...

Well, since you don't mind this story to be "multi-authored," I'd like to contribute a piece of view from the other side.

September 10, 1961 YOUR (Year since Occidental Unification of Republics)

Office of the Military Advisor of the United Occidental Republics*, General Unscratchedfoot

General was sitting at his table, in front of a huge map of the area in question. He was moving little plastic ships around, and mumbling to himself:

"B-4! Wounded; B-5! Ha, got your Cruiser!"

Suddenly, the door to the room swung open, and his secretary flew in, as if pushed rudely in the back:

"General, Sir Christopher is here to..."

"See you," continued a loud bass, as a large man shoved aside the secretary, and entered the office. General startled and assumed an official expression on his face. The secretary continued to speak in a high-pitched voice, close to hysterics from behind the back of Sir Christopher, standing on her toes in order to be able to see General's face:
"I tried to stop him, but he wouldn't listen, General, he says it's urgent..." Christopher looked at her as if she was some very annoying mosquito. "General, please," she continued in an almost whining voice.

Unscratchedfoot started to slowly get a grip on the situation, and said in a low voice: "You can go now, Elizabeth." At these words, the secretary nodded and quickly quit the room. As the door behind her closed, Christopher approached the table and looked at the map.

- What are you doing here, Scratch?, - he asked
- Well, I was ... uh, making strategic plans, you know. ... With all these forces amassing near our borders and everything, the situation has been getting...
- Rather unpleasant. - Christopher looked at the General incredulously - Look, you know that our alliance is in danger, I know that, and so does our ridiculous President.
- Now, now, Chris, he might be ridiculous, but he is paranoid, too, if you know what I mean. - At these words, Scratch scribbled the word "BUGS" on a piece of paper and passed it to Christopher. He shook his head, and said:
- OK, let's take this out then.

***

- Doesn't the President trust anybody in the government? - asked Chris, when the two men were outside
- No, only me, - replied Scratch with a chuckle
- Any way, the reason I came to see you is this: I have been running some ... experiments, right off the coast of Baja California for some time now. It's all clean and approved by the government. It was all fine and dandy at first, but then a whole swarm of ships, flying no flags, mind you, approached my area. Well, I don't know exactly what they were doing there, but by some or other law they violated, the government forcefully encouraged them to leave our territorial waters. All but a dozen. And these were forced to show their governmental affiliation: they flew the flag of one Macky ... uh, something, kingdom, I think it is. And these folks, they are serious. Their ships are not just some research vessels that we had - they are real battleships. And these decided to annex the islands they thought were uninhabited. The islands to the west of our coast in the Pacific.
- Look, my geography is kind of weak, islands to the west of our western coast? - The General scratched his head (no pun intended

). Suddenly, he got it - Hawaii! OK, now they've done it! We're going after them. I am personally going to extend a cordial kick in the butt of the invaders. That Wacky kingdom...
- Uh, it's Macky, Scratch.

*UOR - a commonwealth of western capitalistic nations, including England, the United States, and some other minor countries. It is officially led by the President of the United States, though he has little real power.

OOC: I should of thought twice or thrice on let it be a multi-author

Fine, but keep in mind this isn't a Joke Story, so avoid unconsistent sillyness. Also, this isn't base on the real world map...yet names of locations may be familiar.

Macky Commonwealth and they are not unknown. Considered to be the top 5 powers in this story universe...

still working on the map for the story...which i am doing from scratch.

since i dislike OOC only posts, will use it later...only in Apolytons to snatch that flaming smilie

I like part two best!!

**G_Reaper** · December 12, 2002, 08:55

I have to agree-Part 2 Rocks!

**G_Reaper** · December 12, 2002, 11:46

Is this a NES? Because if it is they are meant to be in the stories and diplomacy forum.

Sorry to spoil the fun mellian I mean its not like I wanted to

.Hope it doesn't make you too angry

Muhahahahahaha

**Mellian** · December 12, 2002, 13:38

Yes, since you people want to be asses, and not bother reading the thread rules...or follow them... will finish the story on my own time and post it...in a new thread.

multi-author doesn't equate to NES... and if NES belongs to stories and diplomacy, all soties in civ3 - stories without a ending belongs there.

AE is still work in progress, so doesn't count.

Ah, come on, a couple of negative responses, and you are shying out of writing a multiauthored story?

Don't be such a spoilsport

**ChaotikVisions** · December 12, 2002, 14:58

Pretty childish behavior, just because you've got something against someone doesn't mean you should purposely try to screw up a story. You all need to grow up and get over this whole thing. Just because someone writes something near an NES doesn't mean its worse or better then any regular story. I've read both types and enjoyed them both, all this whining and looking for cheap insults crap is ridiculous.

**ChrisiusMaximus** · December 12, 2002, 19:50

Hey Chaotik I respect your opinion and all but this is neither a story or an nes, its merely a shrouded attempt to continue an argument that was supposed to be over!!

You are indeed right it is ridiculous but Mellian has only got herself to blame. I did get angry with her insulting tone when all this first kicked off and have since calmed down and tried as have others to convince her to end this but even though Ming has closed the two as you put it ridiculous threads Mellian has taken to continuing the argument in other threads.

This so called story is a blatant attempt to rub peoples noses in the mire I know it vovan figured it out straight away and Mellian knows it and as such should be thoroughly ashamed of herself for her ridiculous actions.

Ok so she was angry but why continue to antagonise us!

MING this is not a story its an insult aimed at myself and others and as such should be locked NOW!!!

**ChrisiusMaximus** · December 12, 2002, 20:57

Yes scratch, been getting a fair few lately! irritating at best kind of like this thread.

**Mellian** · December 13, 2002, 00:36

I am not going to comment, because it may be considered insulting, "in a insulting tone" that doesn't exist when reading text, and then accused for continuing an argument

I don't care if you people "figure it out", and it is far from being an attempt to insult anyone...despite what some silly people think.

Anyway, will write up the story on my own time, behind the scenes, and post it later... no point getting a barrage of nonsense for every story post i make.

Like Chaotik says, grow up.

-Mellian

...yes poppies are annoying, so do a petition and figure out alternative ways of funding the forum...

**ChaotikVisions** · December 13, 2002, 01:13

I meant the people on both sides. You're voluntarily arguing and insulting back and forth, no one is forcing you. Just ignore the storys you don't like and everythings fine. I still don't understand where this whole anti-NES attitude came from, its not like the NESes ever hurt this forum. But I guess its just a case of needing something to blame.
