Like they'd believe it if anyone tried to warn them.
This won't end well.

They're very aware. Shander seemed convinced for a while that they wouldn't be disadvantaged in a fight either.

If it was up to me, I'd just blow up the two uninhabited planets he wants and be done with it.
That said, while Mr. Landgrab's actions were questionable, it's hardly an act of war(yes, you can interpret it as such, but no sane individual would, unless you're just looking for an excuse to kill people) - missile spam was unwarranted, especially without consulting the 'victim'.
On the third hand, I notice they've a little, almost certainly ooc-motivated furry-murdering alliance, however, so I don't particularly care if you go Mekanta on them. I'll bring popcorn.

Threatening violence on other nations is definitely an act of war.

Alot of things can constitute an act of war, but are almost never acted on, because they don't warrant a full blown war.
What we have here is an individual captain issuing an ultimatum in apparent contradiction to another captain from the same nation - certainly serious, yes, but unless he acts on them, they're just words, posturing.
I'd have opted for a peaceful settlement, possibly bordering on extortion, with the idiot's resignation as part of the bargain. Or maybe a demand that he be handed over to face any applicable charges the victim nation feels like pressing.

Like you said, I think the Hermes folk have OOC reasons to stir the shit.
Also, what are their numbers, exactly?

Guide our souls to the Elysium Fields
Bear us home upon our shields
Lay coins across our brows and sound the bells
We're paying our fare on the river to Hell
And when our sons and mothers lay us upon the funeral pyre
Tell them we died Hellenic soldiers with our faces to the fire

Bear us home upon our shields
Lay coins across our brows and sound the bells

Also, love the guy shouting neutrality - characters panicking as a result of player-actions is so rare and refreshing.
Would have been great if he'd fleshed the scene out, maybe have him grab the comm mook by the shirt and shake him while shouting wide-eyed and spewing spittle, with some creative cursing for flavour.

Re: I'm having a REALLY good time.
Well, if you ask me, picking a fight with the Circle AND the UGF is suicidal enough without the ESUS stepping in.
Personally, my forces are already deployed in the UFP and Shivan thread, so a peaceful resolution would be nice.

Re: I'm having a REALLY good time.
Real quick question: What did Cypria do to get blacklisted?Otagia wrote:Also, looking at their charter... Derscon is a Hermes member. Hermes blacklisted Cypria. Blacklisting forbids communication of any sort. Derscon and Cypria are both ESUS members. ESUS constitution requires communication in order to prevent smuggling. Therefore, Derscon is either not an ESUS member or not a Hermes member.
