The Cannalan Embassy
█████
This is a thread where members of the Arms Race Forum Game from either side are allowed to post. There are just a few short rules:
1.Be nice to each other Be mean, but only in-character.
2. Stay out of our thread, you damn dirty Forenian spy!
Whether you're a Cannalan or a Forenian, the local populace is clearly hostile to you for being willing to speak with the enemy, or being the enemy, respectively. Policemen with batons hold back an angry crowd which shouts, jeers, and throws stones and rotten vegetables while armed men escort you to the "Embassy Building" which is plainly a bar with the windows boarded up and a canvas sign which reads "Welcome Foreign Ambassadors" over a painted wooden sign which reads "The Leaky Schooner" and has an illustration of a wooden sailboat listing in the water as man empties a bucket of water over the bow. The inside of the bar is arranged so that tables completely divide the main room into two sections with no path around, and members of the different nations enter on opposite sides. There are bottles of good rum set out, or possibly watered-down rum. It would be most accurate to call it controversial rum: The Cannalans say it's fine, and the Forenians alternately say that it's watered down and tasteless, or tastes strongly like a mixture of paint thinner and bile. A man wearing a sash which says "Diplomatic Advisor", who otherwise looks suspiciously like a bartender, says "Oh, well it's mighty brave of ye to show up. The actual ambassadors left hours ago after getting into a fistfight, and one of them almost lost an eye after getting hit with a broken bottle. But, I guess if you want to try talking to these people, ye're welcome to give it a try."

Have you filled the proper forms? If the nicking was done by one of the official gangs, you should get a receipt you can use for tax deductions.
Hello
Swiftsword
The best defence is a good offence.
it's me
I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet..
Hi and welcome!
I was wondering if our two proud nations should consider forming a treaty to limit the attrocities of war.
Such a treaty would cover articles such as the ethical treatment of prisoners, the banning of particularly gruesome and unneccesarily horrid weapons, and the outlawing of tactics that endager the lives of noncombatants.

We would never consider such tactics. All PoW are treated equally, all crime is done by the books so civilians should feel safe even while getting robbed, and we most likely can't do worse to the enemy than what we put our soldiers through.
I didn't think we had one between our two nations.

I have heard worrying rumors that your side is not supplying the POW with their daily rations of rum. Is this true? I believe torture is allowed.

United Forenia Times!
Technically Correct!*
Sound Victories on All Fronts!
In the first battle against the malicious pirates of Cannalan United Forenia has had a rousing success on all fields of battle**. Far better armed and armored United Forenia was able to not only able to deal major damage fighting in the nearby southern island but also firmly secured the northern desert opening up it's wealth of oil. The Cannalan military is inferior on all fronts*** causing us only need to send a small amount of troops**** to secure victory. Our proud air-corps lead by the ace pilot Tereshkova is able to best the air force in any one on one fight*****. Tereshkova is our first female general showing to the world our immense progress and, was proudly promoted by our great governing council******. With this victory and the ones to come the war will be over in no time*******!
*Not technically correct, **The Archipelago was classified as a slaughter not a battlefield, ***Not including any fields where they superior, ****Troops numbers limited by transportation not by clever tactics, *****Unable to best Cannalan in one on one fights, ****** Governing Council unaware that Tereshkova was a women and threatened to have her jailed for impersonating a man; was stopped when all of the air-corps threatened to revolt, ******* Experts state the war will last for at least four more years and victory is uncertain.

Disaffected Youths Cause Minor Problems at Home*
Some young** fornians have taken the national sport of riotball to far in recent months. The world famous sport*** in which neither side really knows the rules; is used to blow off steam in friendly riots but, was taken too far recently. As one forenian noted "yeah I called those Moskurg scum [REDACTED FOR EXTREME PROFANITY] but, those folks really took it to far". Worse yet some people have taken to rioting outside of designed area and have been strapped with harsh punishments like "Death by AA guns, 35 years hard labor and, navigating the Forenia bureaucracy****". In order to reduce this troubling tread Forenia has reduced the alcohol ration by 50% however, this is no trouble for our brave troops as their rations have been doubled*****.
*Problems classified as large not minor, **Troublemakers are of all ages and favor older demographics, ***Not world famous, **** Punishment by bureaucracy technically classified as a war crime not a punishment, ***** Increased rations based on new civilian amount not, the original 80% increase over civilians.

New Designers Join the Forenia Engineering Team!
In a bold move to further increase our vast arsenal of arms* the Governing Counsel has hired new designers. These new brave men and women** will give our army the greatest weapons in the world***. Of specific note a bear joined the team while no one is really sure why he is there, he is only able to say "Glory to Arstotzka" and becomes extremely violent if Moskurg is mentioned. People presume he is a descendant of the great war hero Konstantin the Bear**** and are trying the best they can to work around him. This new and proud team while unneeded***** will help us stay the beacon of innovation in weapons the world abroad.
*Arsenal is extremely small by nearly all standards, **Some women maybe included as the Governing Council signed off randomly without looking, *** Experts warn that so called wonderwaffes may be designed instead of useful weapons, **** Everyone who knew Konstantin firmly denieds this and called the new engineer a "disgrace to the ursine race", ***** Dearly needed

Typos guaranteed sorry in advance.

It is true. Without any sort of rules of warfare to go by we do the bare minimum. If there was some convention that stated Cannalans are entitled to rum rations then perhaps we would have a reason to keep them watered.

Do you understand what soberity does to a Cannalan? Don't you know that Cannalan liver requires a daily ration of rum to operate?
YOU MONSTERS!
Yeah, it sucks. They're doing awful. Our cruel prison guards only supply them with vodka, and without their rum rations they wither away.
If you truly care about your men, you'll come to a Terms of War Agreement with us.
I believe you mean you will sign the Terms of Surrender Due To Poor Treatment Of Pirates?
Sure!
"_Arstotzka_ will accept the surrender of ________ due to the fact that they are pirates and should be treated poorly."
x Arstotzka

Sign whenever you're ready.

Do your bosses know that half their country is trying for a separate place?

Space, the final backyard.
This document is obviously illegitimate, by signing with Arstotzka and not Moskurg we will be facing a weaker enemy. Perfect!
