Eva-Beatrice

What’s the status of this at the moment?

I’m willing to assume most players do not want there to be any interference with their RP (outside of the rules) or the world in which the RP takes place. The days are gone of when the RP was new and people interacted with each other for the first time freely. There were no formal rules back then, and the RP was still civil. The problems that plague the RP now are lack of community interest, and the fact that older players like myself can’t get back into it without being automatically targeted by players who still hold a grudge. I would say the solution is to start fresh, but that isn’t really right. At this point, a new RP community is what’s needed to revive the subforum. I don’t really have an interest in coming back, and I’m better at character interaction over nation roleplay anyway. Just my thoughts.

If additional subforums are added, could RSS feeds for each be added as well? I’m sure the Discord servers that have RSS bots set up for Alliance Affairs would appreciate it.

(Note: This was originally written on March 10, 2016. Up until now, this post was only available via DM to those who participated. I have decided to make it public in the event that direct messages are deleted after a certain amount of time, and to provide everyone an opportunity to read it. Enjoy this blast from the past and my 2016 writing skills. Guests of the witch's wedding include: @Aisling Duval, @Alexei Sokolov, @Lelouch Vi Britannia, @Prezyan, and @Zafri Zackery. The two brides are, of course, @Eva-Beatrice and @Sintiya.) *The following scene is set in the Meta World. Those who attended, whether human, witch, demon, or angel, were able to arrive quickly and safely. Humans invited from Orbis were able to pass through special gates that opened up in their respective countries. Magical beings invited had a similar convenience. With the scene set, let us begin!* The cathedral was beautifully decorated to be the place of the wedding between Grand Duchess Sintiya of Finland, and the Golden and Endless Witch Eva-Beatrice from Rokkenjima. A crowd of humans, witches, demons, and angels filled the cathedral, waiting for their arrival. Fitting for a royal and magical wedding, it was not solemn or quiet, but cheery and noisy, brimming with activity. Those attending were seated according to their respective groups, each group conversing amongst themselves. The humans were seated below, the witches, demons, and angels on the balcony. Those who were a combination of witch and angel, and witch and demon were seated in between. Among the witch group, we see the government members of both the Eastern Asian Republic and Rokkenjima, as well as others hailing from many different worlds. The cathedral itself was guarded by the Chiester Sisters Imperial Guard Corps. Under their guard, none would be able to interfere with the wedding. Among the crowd of humans, several conversations can be heard. Lelouch: "Part of me still can't believe this is actually happening. Of course I'm happy for them, but a little worried at the same time." Alexei Lysenko: "I agree. We're still not 100% certain as to what the Mariage Sorciere's motives are. A marriage between a witch and a human might put our world in jeopardy." Zafrizackery: *flicks both Lelouch and Alexei in the back of the head* "That's my sister you're talking about, you know! I won't have you speaking about her in such a way at her wedding." *Lelouch and Alexei look back at Zafrizackery, rubbing their heads.* Lelouch: "Damn! Only anime flicks have that sort of power!" Alexei: "Agreed!" Lelouch: "Anyways, I was just kidding, Zack! Haha. I'm sure we have nothing to worry about. R-right, Prezyan? Hey! Prezyan!" *Lelouch looks over at Prezyan, who has fallen asleep in his chair. Whatever he's dreaming about seems to be troubling him deeply.* Lelouch: "Prezyan!!" *Prezyan was jostled awake as a result of Lelouch's shout* Prezyan: "Who?! Wha?! Did someone say Narvan?!" Lelouch: "Oh, nevermind. Just forget about it." A deep sound reverberated through the cathedral. It was the sound of the several dozen Chiester Imperial Guards who stood in a line across the cathedral and stamped their heels in unison. It brought about total silence in the cathedral even before the demons running the ceremony spoke. Zepar: "Let us have silence, ladies and gentlemen!!" Furfur: "Welcome to the wedding of Sintiya, the Grand Duchess of Finland, and Lady Eva-Beatrice, the Golden and Endless Witch of Rokkenjima!!" Though they had asked for silence, the attendants who packed the cathedral welcomed the two demons with an enormous applause. Bernkastel: "Oh, it's Zepar and Furfur." Lambdadelta: "It truly is an honor to have those two host a wedding." Solaris: "I agree..." Zepar: "Well then! Let us welcome the lovely couple!" Furfur: "Please give then a grand welcome and celebrate their departure!" Zepar and Furfur: ""Come out, you two!! Walk the path of the shackles called marriage, which will bind you until the grave!!"" The big doors in the back of the cathedral slowly opened. And then, the Grand Duchess and her beautiful bride came into view. Hands linked, the pair slowly began to walk down the path lined with red carpet. The Chiester Guards stood at attention along either side of that path, raised their adorned bayonets with mechanical precision, and made sure that no evil could block the path that the pair walked down. Chiester Sister troops that weren't part of the 'Honor Guard' were stationed all over the cathedral, hiding behind pillars and so on, and keeping an eye out for any intruders. Behind Sintiya and Eva-Beatrice walked the Seven Sisters of Purgatory, who held long, ceremonial arms in the shape of the One-winged Eagle, the symbol of Rokkenjima. The servants of the Grand Duchess could be seen beside them as well. The procession of Sintiya and Eva-Beatrice slowly walked down the path to the altar, and reached it. Once more, the sound of the Chiester honor guard stamping their heels rang out loudly. Silence returned to the cathedral once more. Now the ceremony would finally begin. Zepar: "People live for the sake of love! Therefore today, you have fulfilled the purpose of your lives." Furfur: "Oh, how great is the power to live, the power of love! I pray that the brightness of this day blesses these two for all time!" Zepar and Furfur: ""Come now! You who love one another! Make the oath of love!"" Sintiya swears to Eva-Beatrice, and Eva-Beatrice swears to Sintiya to support each other, both in sickness and in health. Zepar and Furfur: ""You have now heard the pair's oath of love. Oh, let this oath be eternal!!"" The thunderous applause celebrated their marriage. After the oath, they would physically signify the bond. It was the exchanging of the rings. The ring with the One-winged Eagle on it would become Sintiya's. In exchange, Eva-Beatrice would receive a diamond ring. Zepar: "Yes, let the pair exchange rings!!" The pair gently took the other's left hand and placed their respective rings on the other's finger. With that, the pair were eternally bonded in holy matrimony. The ceremony had ended without any problems and the reception was held inside the cathedral. For the first time, attendants of different groups were able to mingle. Nowhere else would you be able to witness this. Witches and humans, humans and demons, humans and angels, and perhaps the strangest of all, demons and angels, all conversing joyfully. After the reception, each group went their separate ways. The humans, and some witches, returned to either Orbis or Rokkenjima, while the rest returned to their respective worlds. (If anyone read this far, we thank you, lol. I'm aware it was a lot, but I wanted to make sure it was detailed and entertaining for you all. I should also mention that several lines were taken from the Umineko no Naku Koro ni visual novel. Credit for those go to the great Ryukishi07. Once again, thank you so much for reading. Hope you enjoyed. o/)

I was just wondering if the mods could correct the spelling of "Politician" in the forum reputation settings? I'm not quite sure what a "Politican" is. lmao

What is the daily limit for reactions?

Just lock the thread at this point.

Aren't we all just bad images taken from Google?

I don't agree with everything he says. I've stated my opinion on the matter in the posts I've made. It's something I've thought about for a while now and believe should be addressed. I'm not surprised at all to see it go off track. Tis how it usually goes.

As I said in my other post, it is frustrating to those who put time and effort into their posts and genuinely want to know what people's thoughts are. I realize this is falling on deaf ears to those who seem dedicated to "posting shit," which describes you by the way. However, I also said that the feature shouldn't be disabled forum-wide. I'll make an amendment to my original post and say that if the ability for a user to disable upvotes/downvotes for their own post is added, that should only be available in subforums such as National Affairs and any RPing subforums. Having it implemented everywhere would only censor the ability to react to posts such as suggestions, where feedback is critical.

My point exactly. God forbid you contribute to a discussion in a discussion subforum. Either contribute or keep your "autistic whining" to yourself plskthnx.

I don't quite agree with your point that those who mass downvote posts are insane. They're just trolls that have no better way to spend their time. If you truly want the reputation system to be altered, you'd have to contact Invision as they're the ones behind the forum software. I'm not sure what customizable options each individual forum has in regards to reputation, if any. An easier solution would be to provide users options in their settings to: Only display upvotes or likes in their Community Reputation score, keep it how it is currently where downvotes count against Community Reputation, or turn off Community Reputation for that individual user. The option to turn off the upvote/downvote feature for one's own posts is another thing to consider. As a personal note, I do believe the reputation system needs to be changed, or expanded upon at the very least. I've seen threads about this subject before that are simply downvoted into oblivion just to further rub salt into the wounds of those who experience mass downvoting. I don't believe the feature should be removed altogether forum-wide. It is frustrating, however, to see trolls mass downvoting a post you've put much time and effort into. I've been curious about this for a while, though, so maybe @Alex or a forum admin would be so kind as to let us see what options the forum has regarding reputation, if any?

I don't spend much time in this subforum, so my apologies if this has been suggested before. I wanted to suggest an increase in the number of alliance government tiers (Leader, Heir, Officer) from three to five, as well as the ability to enable/disable bank access to individual gov members. If five isn't sufficient for some alliances, maybe the ability to add additional fields up to a certain amount with custom titles? I just feel it would make gov organization a lot easier and less restricted.

Ohayōgozaimasu! Welcome to the Rokkenjima News Report for March 5, 2019 here on RNN! I'm your host, Clair Vaux Bernardus. I have a couple of topics to cover today, but before I begin, I would like to welcome back all those who may be viewing this episode on Orbis. It has been about two years since our last Orbis broadcast. One hundred six episodes later, Rokkenjima has decided to once again air the Rokkenjima News Report on Orbis. There will be some changes, however, which leads me into my first topic. As you may have noticed, the format and schedule for the show has changed. Starting today, from episode 141 onward, the Rokkenjima News Reports will transition to a date format. Keeping RNN's unaired Orbis broadcasts in mind, it is our hope that the introduction of the date format will alleviate any confusion our viewers may experience. In regards to our schedule moving forward, I am here to announce that there will be no set schedule. Over these past few years, this show has maintained a consistent weekly broadcast schedule. With the number of major events occurring in Rokkenjima dropping, it has been determined that the best course of action moving forward is to reserve the Rokkenjima News Reports specifically for those major events. This will allow our team to more thoroughly research and report on these topics in addition to gaining some more time off. Of course, if several major events are occurring in a short period of time, then there may be multiple episodes some weeks. Otherwise, the Rokkenjima News Report may air only once or twice a month. My final topic for today has to do with foreign affairs. On March 1, the Witch Council received a notice of cancellation from the government of the Meta Board. Effective immediately, the Mariage Sorciere alliance existing between the two nations for 1,093 days is no more. The specific reasoning behind this decision is unknown, but it seems to have resulted from some sort of disagreement between the two governments. Due to the treaty's cancellation, visitors from the Meta Board have been returned to their country, with all future travel and trade agreements between Rokkenjima and the Meta Board cut. As of now, no nation outside of Polaris, with the exception of the Meta Board, has permission to visit Rokkenjima and the planet of Meta. That is all for this episode of the Rokkenjima News Report here on RNN. Until next time, ja ne!

It’s also no surprise that you’re all asshats as always. Continue to drive away the people who have spent the most amount of time trying to make the roleplay what it is. You’re not worth the energy to interact with. I’d take Abu’s former BS posts any day over yours. At least the RP was actually entertaining back then. I’ll leave you to suck each other’s metaphorical d**ks as much as you want. This is goodbye. Ignored.

Yeah this was a waste of time. Bye.

Each of them stared at Nielsen throughout her speech with a menacing glare of their own. Once she had finished, Esdeath couldn’t help but grin, chuckling to herself. ”That is truly hilarious.” She cleared her throat to stop her laughter. “First of all, would you mind telling me what international body there is enforcing these laws? Because I see none. The formation of one is part of what we’ve gathered here to accomplish, no? International laws can easily be dismissed as non-existent, as there is currently no international body to back them up. Secondly, it is quite amusing how you speak to four individuals who have killed hundreds of thousands by their own hands about morals.” The room was growing colder as she spoke, the temperature steadily dropping. “And how would you plan to enforce punishment upon witches who can live and die by their own free will? Emprison them? Then watch as they warp away with the snap of their fingers?” She grins again. “And you have it quite backwards. You’re the ones who should consider themselves lucky. If we were to meet in battle, you would quickly be reduced to absolutely nothing...”

Esdeath stood, glaring across the table. "At this rate, nothing will be solved at all. Let's cut right to the chase. The Witch Council will not involve themselves in this matter. Now, you may either adjust your terms in the hopes we can actually accomplish something, or Rokkenjima will withdraw from this meeting immediately, and things will be considerably more difficult for you going forward. Think it over, while keeping in mind that our military is still at full strength."

Satan stood while placing his hand on Alciel's shoulder, having him sit. "Indeed, you all make valid points. Rokkenjima is still in possession of many WMDs and chemical weapons. We have no problem whatsoever in allowing an international team to inspect our facilities. As a matter of fact, it was our intention to move these weapons off of Orbis entirely, and safely store them back on our home planet. Regarding the colony situation, Rokkenjima views its East Asian neighbors as allies, and would gladly take responsibility for them by providing humanitarian aid and anything else they need. Again, we're willing to have this done under the supervision of the international community. I also understand that we need to take action in order to earn trust here, which is why we're willing to make the first move and relinquish the Republic of the Philippines. Perhaps then, we can move beyond this endless cycle of 'what ifs.' As for Ms. Picquery's points, we agree with some of them. That being points one, two, three, five, six, eight (partially), and nine. I'll explain the points we do not agree with, starting with number four. Removing non-human soldiers from Rokkenjima's military during peacetime, especially when we're planning to transition to a policy of armed neutrality, would result in us having a military force too minuscule to protect ourselves effectively. For point seven, to reiterate, we are planning on moving these weapons off the planet. For point ten, it is the concern of Rokkenjima and many other nations that such an authority would be easily abused. For point eleven, Rokkenjima would only be willing to allow the monitoring of the occupied civilians' well-beings and nothing else. For point twelve, it is Rokkenjima's responsibility to guard its own borders. We won't allow any foreign troops to be stationed on our soil. As for the Rokkenjima-specific points, we agree to points one, two, and three with nothing to add. As for point number four, we are only willing to do this under the condition that such an office would remain under Rokkenjima's direct control and not treated as international territory. As for point five, such a thing wouldn't be possible. I highly doubt the Witch Council would concern themselves with anything of the sort."

Alciel responded to the Allied States Representative. ”I’m by no means claiming the moral high ground. We recognize that Rokkenjima invaded China by force, with distaste of their regime being the root cause, no less. However, if you read up on our history, you would know that all other territories under our control, with the exception of the Philippines, joined us of their own accord. Returning to the topic of Russia, I believe only Moscow has the power to determine if such claims to their land is legitimate. As Mr. Gottwald has stated, the British have no business in lands so different and far away. All that is being accomplished is the creation of needless military tension. Just as Rokkenjima invaded China due to its Communist regime, the British have annexed parts of Russia and China to enforce its regime upon them. We are surely both at fault here, but perhaps this is an issue that may only be resolved by the ruling of an international court. Nevertheless, unless there is a resolution, we’ll be stuck to continue playing this game for seemingly all eternity.”

Alciel replied and stood as well. "Would you care to clarify what would be considered a 'legal colony' as you worded it? I'm fairly certain unaligned Russia isn't very happy about a foreign power seizing their land. Of course, the same could be said for any country."

Commander Satan stood, addressing everyone in the room. "To begin with, I would like to reiterate that the terms which Rokkenjima presented in its initial broadcast was dependent upon the fulfillment of the two terms we presented to everyone else. From what I understand, The Holy Britannian Empire and MoG[Corp] expressed willingness to comply with said terms. The British Internationale, on the other hand, did not. So with all due respect, we would prefer to discuss this issue first."

Commander Satan Jacob, along with General Alciel, General Lucifer, and General Esdeath would attend as temporary representatives until such time that Rokkenjima's new permanent government is formed.

"Good morning to all who may be watching. My name is Satan Jacob, your Commander of the Rokkenjima Armed Forces. This broadcast is going out to all across the nation, as well as the rest of the world. I have come on to inform you this morning that as of right now, Rokkenjima is currently under military command. It was earlier today that the Witch Council decided to willfully step down. Before they returned to planet Meta, they made two final decisions. The first was to place Rokkenjima's military in charge of the country. Whether that be permanent or temporary is completely up to us. Secondly, the Council decided to revive the population of the Philippines and halt all repopulation attempts. From here on, further decisions which impact the path Rokkenjima takes rests solely upon myself and my trusted generals. Together, we've made several decisions that we wish to share with the nation and the world. Firstly, as for whom will be in charge of the country going forward, rest assured that the military does not intend to keep its position permanently. As I speak to you all, General Alciel, General Lucifer, and General Esdeath are organizing an election of sorts to determine Rokkenjima's future government. To briefly explain, Rokkenjiman citizens will be responsible for choosing the person they think best represents their species in government. Currently, our nation is inhabited by humans, witches, vampires, demons, angels, fairies, and Diclonii. Each species will vote to determine their representative, and the resulting council will become Rokkenjima's new permanent government. This decision was made to ensure all species that make up Rokkenjima have an equal say in the affairs of the country. A follow-up broadcast will be made once the candidates and election date have been finalized, so stay tuned. Secondly, in regards to foreign affairs, I would like to reach out to the world's leaders in hopes that we can come to an agreement. The actions of the Witch Council against the Philippines were viewed very negatively by the majority of Rokkenjima's population, and us in the military. Although the population of the Philippines has returned, Rokkenjima will nonetheless take responsibility for the events that transpired. It has come to my attention that the Witch Council had invited world leaders to attend talks on the island of Rokkenjima. While holding private talks may be the professional thing to do in this instance, I wish to be fully transparent with everyone who sees this broadcast. Together with General Alciel, Lucifer, and Esdeath, we've decided upon the following terms to present to the rest of the world: Rokkenjima will relinquish its claim to the Republic of the Philippines Rokkenjima will reduce the size of its peacetime military to half its current size Rokkenjima will halt all further chemical weapon research and development, as well as tests Rokkenjima agrees to respect all forms of official government, and will not take military action against any nation based upon its regime Rokkenjima will maintain a policy of armed neutrality, and will not form military pacts with any nation Rokkenjima will abide by international law set in place by official international agencies The Witch Council will not hold power over Rokkenjima's Orbis affairs In return, we ask the rest of the world's nations to agree to the following two terms: No nation will colonize East Asia (this includes the nations of China, Mongolia, and Eastern Russia). Nations that have colonies in East Asia will relinquish their colonies, and either relocate them to Southeast Asia/Oceania to ensure that a constant eye is kept on Rokkenjima, or relocate them elsewhere/completely dissolve them. No nation will blockade Rokkenjima's military vessels from accessing international waters/airspace/territory, or Rokkenjima's territorial waters/airspace/territory, and will not attack Rokkenjima's military vessels in international waters/airspace/territory. Of course, there is room to expand upon the aforementioned terms should the international community feel there is more that should be included. For now, however, I will conclude this broadcast and hope we can reach some sort of agreement soon. Have a great day."

Sorry, not sorry.
