RP ALERT Since Spain is AI, and the last player left it in a state of civil war with multiple factions, I've decided to simply end it reasonably for the sake of the RP. If anyone has a complaint, please send it to me so I can never read it.
The Kingdom of Spain, formerly the Second Iberian Union (or Empire if you are specially Spaniard) has been in yet another major civil war, one of many during the 19th century. This one however, would finally be concluded as the monarchist would unite under a single cause, that a monarch must be on the throne. The fall of Madrid to the Monarchists would conclude with the pushback of the republicans to Velencia and surrender of King Carlos VII. The civil war is now at a point where an actual opposition government could be formed with an ounce of legitimacy to combat the socialists and republicans.
It would be at this point where many republican leaders would think that the Monarchists would turn onto each other and collapse. Each particular group seemed to support one noble or another for the throne, and no one seemed to agree on who should be back on the throne. Leonists, XXX (I forgor the names of boils 19793 factions’ leaders), and legitimists all wanted someone unique. In a shocking twist of events, leaders of the monarchists cause would put aside their differences for once in history, and hold convention at Oviedo to finally solve the problem of who shall be the next monarch of Spain.
Heated talks would insure, as it would be no easy feat to elect a new monarch. However, some major points would be brought up. The New Monarch must have a clear and confirmed linage to any of the previous Monarchs of Spain, they must not be a Francophile, and they must actually be from a major house In Europe to prop of international relationships.
From this list, both the Bourbon Pretenders and most of the very skeptical nobles who attempted to clams some sort of linage from over 500 years ago would be thrown out of the window. This, however, left very few options. One stood out however, a noble who was related to both the Habsburg and Bourbon dynasty of the Spanish Kingdom, one who was young and well educated, and one who came from a simple dynasty that if enthroned would put some sort of stability and credit into Spain.
Amedeo Ferdinando Maria of Savoy, 1st duke of Aosta
He was the perfect candidate. Connections with almost every major household in Europe, related to the Kings of Sardinia and former Kings of Croatia, and of a royal house who has been in almost every major conflict.
The elections of the young Italian Duke would mark the end of the Monarchist factualisms. While some fringe groups might have kept fighting, they were all too weak to resist. The Republicans, sensing their defeat imminent now that most of the country was under Monarchist control, would surrender. The Spanish Civil war would end with Amedeo I as King of the Spanish
Ye, so my Río Araguay has like a range of 17-22 nautical miles but based off a design that had issues with pitching/rolling, so I think I could synergize them. I'd probably like to build up my fleet with 2-4 of your battleships at some point.
Also why is the Wikipedia image for the Amphitrite-class monitor stir something from the depths of my soul?
Since when does it make it more true? You have expressed bias judgement when it comes to this situation.
Do I have to repeat myself over and over again? Just because it wasn't directly the casus belli (which is contrary to what you've said previously and directly), doesn't mean that YOU CAN STILL DO IT. The fact is, you still knowingly abused you power doing something that is unreasonable and unrealistic. Also, the fact is, you never RPED ANYTHING about a change in the political thing. NOBODY DID. Which is what one is SUPPOSED TO DO when rping an NPC nation and changing said NPC nation's ideologies, especially if the situation in the nation is the opposite of what they're going for. And anyway, you still KNOWINGLY did this for an advantage in the war. Who's to say that Greece isn't going to collapse? Greece, being under communists, would most certainly collapse. The large majority of Greece's population is orthodox, and as I've said numerous times, THE CONSERVATIVES WERE RISING IN POPULARITY. WHICH, LIKE IVE JUTS SAID, you never rped any sort of change in the Greek political dynamic, which is what someone is SUPPOSED TO DO. You just went into a straight democratic thingy. You didn't consult me about a change in ideology, you didn't consult whether or not it would be realistic, you just went straight into it. Which confirms that the only reason you did so, was because of an advantage in the war, as you clearly did it in the same post as the war, you clearly wanted Greece isolated in said war, and who's to say that a communist takeover wouldn't collapse Greece, because COMMUNISM ISN'T POPULAR IN GREECE, and YOU NEVER RPED HOW IT WOULD BE POPULAR IN THE FIRST PLACE, thereby making it godmodding and unreasonality, as you did something incredibly unrealistic and unreasonable, avoiding to rp how it even happened in the first place, because you WANTED AN ADVANTAGE.
You've stated numerous times that you wanted to declare war on Greece. In discord I've seen you discussed it. I also know about the planned partition between You, Russia, and France, because Rhenzern sent me the map. You have stated NUMEROUS TIMES that you wanted this war. Safe to say, you are completly biased in this regard, as the upholding of the post's validity gives you a clear and concise advantage between you, Russia, and France. Therefore, unlike you claim, you are completely and utterly biased in this ruling.
You saying that you have 'motives' and don't have 'morals' completely proves my point. You went beyond what an RP moderator is supposed to do, and you completely and utterly abused your power in doing so. There is nothing in the rp rules that states you can do so, yes, but claiming that you are 'enforcing rules' is utterly ridiculous. You are literally abusing your admin power KNOWINGLY, and from your posts, you are clearly implying that you are doing so 'because nothing is mentioned in the rules', like the many posts I linked in my previous arguments. Your claims that 'morals' don't factor into this is also contributing to my argument, as you clearly do not care whether something is right or wrong. You also mentioned that since 'nothing in the rules states anything, that you should stop complaining." thereby, you are clearly and concisely implying that you can do whatever, as long as nothing in the rules states it. You literally abused you power in the process, by making Greece communist without any sort of realism, and you KNOWINGLY did this to gain an advantage, like the many posts that I've linked, that prove what I've said. For instance, you've stated in one of your posts that you did this 'because of the casus belli'. Now, unlike the 'canal' excuse that you claim, you were responding DIRECTLY to a post refrencing Greece's ideology, thereby you were NOT refrencing the canal. Thereby, you have lied in this regard, and therefore I do not believe I can trust you when you state that you are 'upholding the rules' in this regard. Not only this, but in the respective evidence regarding the rules, you state that you KNOWINGLY did so, because the 'rules don't apply, because nothing in the rules says you can'. Thereby, you are DIRECTLY ADMITTING that you can do whatever you want as long as it isn't stated in the rules. Also, is there any evidence that you’ve proven time and time otherwise, other than your words?
'the rules were applied' - there were no rules to begin with. yet you did something KNOWINGLY wrong, you abused your power KNOWINGLY because it WASNT IN THE RULES. Thereby, that makes this arguments invalid. 'the lack of rules is not a reason for me to invent new rules in the moment or use my morals when making a decision' - so you are essentially saying that you can make up new rules whenever you want as rp moderator? an rp moderator doesn't have the authority to make up new rules. are you saying that you could make up a new rule like 'naples is always powerful', and everybody would follow that? 'there were no rules twisted, its just what the rules say' - THERES NOTHING IN THE RULES. Therefore, you CLEARLY abused your power, FROM YOUR OWN POSTS, BECAUES THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE RULES. This is the same excuse that you've been using in the beginning of your argument, which is automatically invald because of the fact that there were NO RULES in the beginning, so you abused your power to make NEW RULES. ' Basing this entirely on morals makes Boil a lot more biased than what he wants you to believe.' - no it doesn't. I'm stating that you abused your power KNOWINGLY, and backing it up with EVIDENCE. that doesn't make me biased. 'it is clear to me that Boil does not know what a Moderator is, and thus this entire premise is defamatory.' - and it is clear that you are unaware that rp moderators aren’t supposed to commit admin abuse. the fact that you are claiming this is defamatory. you were appointed only recently by rhen, so you do not have the authority to claim whether or not I know what a moderator is. the fact is, you abused your power, so i think this argument is invalid, due to the fact that you abused your power as an rp moderator. it is not your authority to decide whether or not I know that. 'the nation is an npc and no more'. just because its an npc nation, doesn't mean you can do whatever you want of it. this basically sets the precedent that one can do whatever they want to npc nations, which is an extremely unhealthy precedent.
Although from H Corps words, he directly proves my point. In the following quote “ the lack of rules is not a reason for me to invent new rules in the moment” He is stating that he can invent rules whenever he wants. Essentially, he is proving my point BY HIS OWN WORDS about admin abuse, as he is admitting that he is twisting the rules to his advantage, or making up new ones entirely, which an rp moderator doesn’t have the authority to, essentially allowing one to make up rules in favor of them, thereby justifying anything they do. In essence, making their actions legal without oversight. An rp moderator’s job is to enforce the rules of the rp properly and concisely, in an impartial and unbiased way, instead of twisting the rules or making up new ones to their own advantage
