The way I see it, RCOE wants the Falklands, and knowing GPEO they won't give it up. Uatia, insulted by RCOE, declared war, then after RCOE pleaded with them, a temporary ceasefire was signed.
My message to RCOE: You don't know what you are dealing with. GPEO and Uatia are the oldest active factions in the VR World. They have been in several wars, and came out victorious or in stalemate with all opponents. Even though you are active, and may have more members, GPEO and Uatia can wipe you out in a matter of hours.
You may think you are the badass and your shit don't stink, but I have news, your shit does stink. You gotta learn real fast that people get politically pissed off at you, even though you may be in the right, either in truth or just your opinion. You make amends to avoid a war you know you cannot win. That's NOT to say that you gotta kiss their ass. As I;ve seen on this, and the GPEO, forum, you tend to make everything go by your rules. You cannot just demand that negotiations start in X amount of hours or XYZ territory will be considered ours. Then you go and make yourself look like a jackass to a faction not involved and to your main opponent, and then wonder why everyone is on your case. You may think you have the advantage, but even then, you cannot always have it your way. This ain't Burger King.
TFC wanted many different Pacific islands from GPEO, along with some mainland Asia territory, namely, North Korea, part of far SE Russia, Okinawa, Wake IS, and Midway. We didn't get it. We negotiated it for weeks, and sure, we got pissed off, but we didn't insult them and make negative remarks on their "intelligence" or their country. Hell, we even voted on it, and it didn't turn out well, because I think there was some non-GPEO votes thrown in, but I'm not bitching about it. We are still trying to work out North Korea and a Joint base in Okinawa.
My suggestion? Give up on the Falklands. Just because it's British doesn't mean you can just have it. GPEO fought for every territory they have, including the Falklands. Just because they do not fly out of there much, does not mean they do not use it. Spain? Idk the situation with that. Personally, I could care less. Just be a little more conscious on the consequences of you decision making. It takes a few months of reading Dragnoxz's 7 page posts and just getting used to it. Learn from mistakes.
In my opinion, Falklands should be a joint base. To controversial to both parties for only one to keep? Let the current owner give basing rights.
