What's QQing?

[Andres]

'QQ' looks like tears sliding down eyeballs. QQing means crying.

[10ebbor10]

QQ is an acronym often used in online communication to signify two crying eyes.

Evilcherry is being very subtle and mature.

But we're not crying for Christ's sake. If you don't like a discussion, just sit it out, it's not like anyone seems to be interested in talking about treaties, or my sport event idea, or anything else.

I'm not talking about your sport idea because I like my motor sports idea better.

It's a classic "poisoning the well" strategy. By describing our reactions as petty and childlike, and in some cases even successfully eliciting such a response by acting extremely hostile, they try to discredit us, because it's quite clear now they don't actually have a proper argument.

I meant the idea of having a spin-off forum game where we compete in our sport ideas.

Nah, don't think it would be fun.

Sure, feel free.

What was the latest iteration?

[LordSlowpoke]

Proposed Arstotzka-Moskurg War Treaty

• The intentional usage of any gaseous or liquid acidic, paralytic, or nerve agent that can directly harm humans on humans is prohibited
• The intentional usage of any weapon that utilizes harmful natural or engineered diseases that can directly harm humans on humans is prohibited
• The usage or production of any weapons capable of spreading radioactive contamination over any area is prohibited
• The mistreatment/excessive interrogation of prisoners is prohibited.
• All prisoners should have access to a basic cot, three meals a day, and should not be subject to actions including the usage of drugs, waterboarding, cutting/maiming, and/or any other action that could be classified as inhumane
• The use of immature animals and/or humans (babies, puppies, kittens, etc.) in battle is prohibited

i believe it looked at this

1. point #5 does not specify what happens if for whichever reason the country responsible for imprisonment decides to provide quarters superior to what is written
2. in point #4, it is probable that the

should not be subject to actions including the usage of drugs, waterboarding, cutting/maiming, and/or any other action that could be classified as inhumane

from #5 should be merged with #4, as it constitutes a subset of mistreatment//excessive interrogation
3. suggested creation of highway or railway through contested territories (plains, mountains, jungle) and its destruction being prohibited (vehicles would not be subject to this clause and their destruction, as long as this does not damage the underlying railway/highway, would be allowed)

[Andres]

After Arstotzka conquers Forenia, I wouldn't mind us taking up the Emperor as our religion and using it as a cassus belli to conquer everyone. He's basically the embodiment of glory, after all.

• All prisoners must be treated humanely. They must be given at least three meals a day and a cot equivalent or better. It is prohibited to subject prisoners to actions including the usage of drugs, waterboarding, cutting/maiming, and/or any other action that could be classified as inhumane

This good?

[Sheb]

LSP, we're both already creating roads through the jungle.

[LordSlowpoke]

LSP, we're both already creating roads through the jungle.

yes, but i'm thinking of a big ol' demilitarized road for ~official business~ etc.

just toss one up on the plains and have the legit envoys travel through it instead of sneaking through border control or however arstotzka and moskung even talk to one another nowadays

• All prisoners must be treated humanely. They must be given at least three meals a day and a cot equivalent or better. It is prohibited to subject prisoners to actions including the usage of drugs, waterboarding, cutting/maiming, and/or any other action that could be classified as inhumane

yeah, pretty solid, throw it in

i want the road in the treaty though

[Andres]

i want the road in the treaty though

No. I strongly object to this. If you want to make a treaty where we make a road, it will be a separate treaty. This treaty is exclusively about war crimes.

Glory to Arstotzka.
