Liberty-Kusari embargo? - Dusty Lens - 02-22-2011
' Wrote:I cannot tell whether you are being Sirius or not?
I mean, in Sirius, Rheinland produces the most food.
How do you figure? As far as I know Rheinland has Stuttgart which is pretty good to go. Bretonia has Cambridge which is also pretty good to go. Kusari has Kyushu and Junyo, both of which are prime suppliers of foodstuffs.
Kusari's issue has never been the ability to produce food, only that the youth of Kusari enjoys the awesomeness of synthpaste over that of native agriculture, which was theoretically taking a huge chunk out of domestic food markets.
However the youth of Kusari decided they didn't like synthpaste anymore because of Igiss?

Seriously. Sorry, but the in-game actions of a few ships, regardless of how many transports they stop, won't be changing the official in-RP status of Kusari trade. There's a bit more work involved than that. Besides, you're essentially doing just what the XA has been doing for years. Not much of a change here.
On top of that, it looks to me like the only reason you're doing this Xeno-stuff now is to be a dick to Kusari. And not even in an in-RP way. You make it look like this very thread gave you the idea, which seems a bit OoRP. Please tell me I'm wrong.
So why are you doing this? I mean, I understand, you're a Xeno, you're doing what Xenos normally do. I'm just wondering why it's important enough to brag about and taunt people about.
Nah i been doing this since i made my xenos many many months ago. I just stepped it up a notch now,and tell them to shove the Embargo up Kusari's butt. We don't ned no dam foriegn products here.

Well...this is MOST INTERESTING!
Ultimately - Kusari can do what it likes to Liberty, it is up to Liberty (and other factions) to respond. It seems to me that Liberty has decided to completely reinvent the Sirius economy rather than tackle the issue.
Seriously - consider the hypothetical scenario whereby China places an embargo on Oil exports to the USA (blocking the Gulf of Arabia and access across the Pacific), and the USA 'decides' to get all its Oil from Venezuela? :lol:Have a think about what their REAL reaction would be...

That's what you get when the LN has to have their splitters and challengers.

Which, as per an agreement with the BAF, we no longer use. In the same way they handed their Libertonian gear over to the BPA...
But hey ho.

Isn't this a stupid thing for Kusari to do?
Now they can't trade with Bretonnia because of the war, they can't trade with Liberty because of the embargo, Rheinland barely has anything but heavy metal to trade, they've got pirates up the wazoo and Gallia is waving its massive navy at them in a threathening manner.
Yes, Liberty's arms deal with Bretonnia would've made them mad, but it seems like it was only a very minor deal and losing 2/3ds of your international trading partners can wreak havoc on any nation's economy, which Kusari really doesn't need when it's at war.
Simple economics, yo! Learn it!

Before you tell us to learn simple economics, please look again whether Kusari has lost Liberty as a trade partner.

And there's no game mechanic for h-fuel.
I mean, how the hell is Bretonia getting any?
They arent.
But beacuse there is no in-game repercussions, it doesn't matter nearly as much as using Magmas on a Templar or splitters on a Guardian.

The problem is, Kusari sends shipbuilding parts and fuel to Liberty, Liberty takes those parts and fuel and builds ships and guns, they then take these guns and ships and give them to Bretonia who uses them to fight Kusari.
Why on earth would Kusari keep sending those parts to Liberty to be used to kill Kusari pilots?
