Jakania, seriously? I have never heard a more ridiculous claim on the forum.

Remember this is just role-play, it's not an actual claim against you, it's just a silly piece of foreign policy posturing. Nonetheless the idea of several companies being represented by a single person is a bit unconventional and would certainly raise eyebrows in the real world. I don't know anything about these companies so I don't know whether they're supposed to be operating in the same industry or not but either way, it would probably make sense for each of them to be represented by different people moving forward?

I understand its just Role Play, and no, the only reason they are here is to bring attention to humanitarian aid needed to be sent to North Dovani, and its easier for me.

That's not a problem but obviously within the world of the game, that's unusual and will attract attention. I don't have a problem with you using one person but that doesn't mean that I'm going to pretend it isn't an incredibly strange arrangement.

[John Cracker]

Okay

[John Cracker]

Is it just me or has Likatonia been the center for every international scandal for the past twenty years?

[John Cracker]

You guys have gotten all bent out of shape over a church

Alright. Let's pump the brakes on this one for a second.

I think its important to realize that In Character (IC) and Out Of Character (OOC) are different. I can say with almost certainty that none of us, the players behind the keyboard have an issue with you or your church. In character, the nation's we play might/do have issues with your church and Likatonia. Our IC nations, characters all have interests, goals, etc.

Please dont mistake our IC actions for OOC actions. Were making a "big deal" ICly not OOCly. I think you're confusing the two.

[John Cracker]

I agree, sometimes I confuse the two, but seriously in the real world would countries shut down their borders because of a charismatic church?

PT isn't the real world and thats been very clearly stated both by players and the rules. What we take inspiration from the real world and were certainly grounded by it, it doesn't mean the way real-world governments might react is the same as PT governments.
