Kay. Firstly, we all need to shut the fuck about this outside of ESUS circles, mmkay? It's sure as hell not set in stone, and speaking about it could weaken my efforts here.
As it stands, 5/7 Republic members support attacking the GFFA. (I was not one of the five. I voted for neutrality) Of course, this isn't policy decision, but they feel that they can snip off bits of the GFFA here and there, and expand their own borders safely.
Here, in essence, is what I want to say. Getting the Republic on our side could let us end this war quickly and easily. As Loriiea (My Republic nation), I feel it's necessary to act in some way, so the Republic isn't left out of the new order of things.
The problem is, of course, if they attack the GFFA, they fear ESUS reprisal for taking an ESUS 'prize', and ESUS aggression after the GFFA falls. Here's my question.
If we were to negotiate an attack on the GFFA by the Republic, what could we offer? What blandishments would we all be prepared to give them, what treaties, and whatnot? I want to know, because, if we can offer them a pretty enough platter of prizes for the picking, we could quite conceivably see them attacking the GFFA from behind.
This is more just a quiet discussion thread. Nothing has been set in stone, yet, but.. it's always good to have allies. And if we can convince them no harm will come to them after the war, and that they'll have plunder aplenty, we *could* be looking at a new ally in this way.
That's all, really. Just don't go boasting to GFFA members that the Republic is going to backstab them. Because they're fairly tenative about the idea as it is (I'm the main proponent), and anything like that could collapse the deal before it even took place.

It's amazing how a family can be torn apart by something as simple as a pack of hungry wolves.

Never mind that the Republic boards can be viewed by anyone, and marionetonia seems set on bringing in masses of allies to backstab us

The GFFA hardly look at their own boards these days as it is.
And Marietonia is trying to recruit from a region. A region. Not a roleplaying community, not a group of people with ANY history in FT. Out of perhaps 100,000 nations, it'd be safe to say that 100-200 play FT. About 1 in every 500.
A region of 170 players has a.. half-chance of having a FT RPer. And that's not even accounting for the fact that most of us are tied up in alliance regions, and the like.

And of course Tal is far more moral than to stoop to that. He's a good RPer, and a good guy. And of course people are invited into this arc at our discretion

Seemed kinda like a suckerpunch to me anyway. .-.
We don't need organizations shooting at planets that are soon to be ESUS parking garages or..whatever you tentacle-based nations use.

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
