[MoFA] UK Part eleventy hundred
Irish Foreign Ministry
It was only one short week ago when the nation was enjoying a relative period of peace and its citizenry were happily farming the lands in our series of stable training wars home and abroad.
As the world was reeling from the impact of the Perma and Temp bans handed out as Plato showed a new determination to wield the banhammer our iniquitous neighbours were laying their plans and in defiance of the peace treaty that ended the last clash they had precipitated, they eschewed said treaty and launched their assault.
Despite the nation being on a “No RL cash for Packs” boycott the eternal enemy was once again repelled.
With the signals from the UK now turning from exultation & confidence when they led 56-21 to ones of “not our fault guvnor!” & “honest mistake” post defeat, The Irish government took the pretty evident view that the UK was once more in anarchy and called on its fighters to observe a 24 hour pause on expanding operations or undertaking action that impacted other nations.
Despite the bizarre cries from the UK that our act of clemency was a direct threat and ultimatum, an attempt at negotiations was undertaken and whilst much time was wasted waiting for the UK to decide exactly who was in charge of the UK in the absence of her CP a proposal was tabled by the UK.
In return for their aggression and inability to keep to agreements, they proposed that we returned Northern Ireland to them and agree to impose on our players a ‘battlefield code’ that they had shown themselves wholly unable to manage and police themselves. In return for this we could be friends!
Ireland took a less ‘cheeky’ approach and proposed the establishment of a buffer zone between the two islands we occupy and by removing the ability to physically interact with each other we could remove the temptation from the UK to be shifty gits whenever they got bored. We also declined to put in writing anything that had no gameplay mechanism to observe and control as it was doubtful that the UK had the requisite energy or managerial skills to hold up its end of such agreements.
Despite the UK MoFA being heavily involved in framing this new agreement and stating that he would himself would agree and advocate for it – The UK rejected this treaty
So where does that leave us?
Well, through a series of lucky breaks and co-incidences we have managed to establish the buffer zone we wanted with the UK (albeit rather further forward then planned) as our forces with the assistance of her allies was able to reach the ‘red line’.
Everything beyond that line is claimed by other nations either for farming or resource reasons and we thus have or will shortly have no more direct contact with those rascals.
With the ascension of new CP’s in the Irish and British nations that are either more hardline or culpable in the breakdown of previous good relations, coupled with the ‘adventurous’ starting point that the UK believes we should begin talks at……………..it seems we are at rather an impasse and the situation can best be described as a stalemate, although one we are happy with as the UK is now at least two steps removed from our core regions.

Another great article that captures the events perfectly and with humour.

This conflict will be eternal until the true question is settled : which is better, the full Irish, or the full English? While both are excellent, I must risk the wrath of the English by giving the full Irish the victory, if only by virtue of Irish potato pancakes being superior to toast.
Understood. But may I raise you Tattie Scones, in a Full Scottish breakfast.
I must say I'd never heard of them. But after looking them up, they look to be quite the addition to the full breakfast palette. In fact, I'm almost willing to say that these, plus shortbread, atone for the abomination that is haggis. Almost.
At last, some middle ground between our two nations. Breakfast.
Toast is never gonna beat potato pancakes. And putting beans on that toast won't help matters. The Scottish tattie scone situation bears watching. Either way, the English position is wholly untenable.

Hail Eire!
London is still lacking some green.
"Despite the bizarre cries from the UK that our act of clemency was a direct threat and ultimatum" - you literally called it an ultimatum my dude
"Despite the UK MoFA being heavily involved in framing this new agreement and stating that he would himself would agree and advocate for it – The UK rejected this treaty" - the elected congress members rejected it because that's their job... to agree or reject proposals. I am not a dictator, so I will not sign a treaty my country does not want and thus will not be kept to.
Where did Alfa called it an ultimatum?
" I am not a dictator, so I will not sign a treaty my country does not want and thus will not be kept to." - Not like it matters anyway, you signed Bushmills agreement which got the congress support and broke it anyway.
"The time limit for all this is..................2100H UK time/1300H eRep time tomorrow whereupon we will resume the hostilities you once again unleashed between us." - if that's not a direct threat, and threatening an AS... then I don't know what is an ultimatum
Aight, sure we broke it, but in the interests of furthering peace, the need for mutually agreeable (not just by me (i wanted peace) but by congress (not that they didn't want peace, rather to not have a deal that was so advantageous) deal is of the upmost importance. To quote yourself: "tbh mate it's better for us if it doesn't [pass through congress]"
No deal suits us better, we just wanted to allow you to offer us something that'd satisfy both sides as we don't wanna be the bullies.
"you literally called it an ultimatum" - so..you admit he didn't?
We didn't want to keep attacking in case we can find a peaceful solution and gave you 24hrs to come up with an offer. That's why it's called ceasefire, not peace.
Hmm

We could wipe you easily, but the UK is boycotting packs until all of Ireland's multies and brought accounts are banned.
Try it, wee man, and you'll be called Rauiri when we're through
This looks like a weak excuse to invade.
What happened to diplomacy and friendly relations?
The majority of UK citizens *do* wish to exist in peaceful coexistence with our neighbours in Ireland - but it is difficult to do this with an Alfa led invasion I to our core territories.
You were one of the RW supporters.
I fought in like one round and probably have more UK-side medals then Irish side medals
