I know for a fact that China hasn't conducted any espionage actions we will not happily admit to, but I don't know what everyone else has done (for the most part).
...could you happily admit to some of your espionage actions?
We spent Turns 2 though 5 guarding the IRC, Turn 6 providing support for Operation Santiago, and Turn 7 waiting for extraction.

I'm not comfortable with that. China has already had another nation conduct espionage within our borders without our consent investigating us for a crime we didn't commit. You've threatened a nuclear response against an unnamed country, even though false flag operations have been alleged.

"We're going to launch nukes. But we've got the right guy, trust us." is deeply unsettling.
If you weren't responsible, then you have nothing to worry about. We know we have the right nation. We started off with a power that alerts us whenever an agent acts within our borders and has a chance to discover the nation they belong to. We weren't told the nation when Russia acted within our borders but we knew an agent attempted to infect our water supply. In the Fort Knox case, we were told the nation and the nature of what was done. It was clarified that the nation info can not be wrong. So yeah. Trust us.

Yeah, you are basically tipping your hand here.
Whoever did whatever, they are pretty much going to be using all their resources to attack your nuclear launch facilities and possibly invade your soil.

Note that we still have one day to reverse exacting Justice on the offending Nation. I'd rather end the game on a happy note than one of destruction and death because they were too proud to admit to their wrongful action of theft.
Our door is still open to make amends.
But preparations were made last night in order to ensure we are in position to act tonight.
I think this says more about America than it does about whoever did it

sure, ok, yeah
we aren't cool with law and order being thrown out the window just because there is a little chaos in the world
We will not let the world devolve into lawlessness and allow thieves free reign while the rest of us are trying to save the world.
We also have compassion and forgiveness and will give criminals as many chances to make amends as possible.
Whoever did whatever, they are pretty much going to be using all their resources to attack your nuclear launch facilities and possibly invade your soil.
Then they will further reveal themselves to be equivalent to the roaming bands of criminals that always appear during apocalyptic movies. They can be the lowlife scum of humanity.
We will protect our home and seek to ensure law and order still exist despite the chaos that our world is currently experiencing.

Day 9 – STAND STILL
Day 8 Map
6th of September - 2015
These countries have gone dark:
Iraq
Mali
Peru
In the far east, generals and presidents shake hand. It is clear that the world is doomed, but there is another plan in place. Maybe those they leave behind can burn away the infection? They head to Pern, Russia.
In Africa, a nation celebrates the birth of the empire of flames. One week of grand revelry before they go to war. Another nation get's directly to it, burning the land of Niger away. Very little of anything remains, the infection is beaten back. Another land prepares one last, great fortress. Supplies that were set for the Madagascan refugee centre were bombed on route.
In Europe, a nation sit's back and watches as it's borders get slowly overun. They prepare to fire back. In another land, an individual marches into cabinet, promising an escape.
Doom has come to South America. Missile's are prepared in response. As Peru falls, one final push is prepared, unleashing a fire that would make firestarters around the world envious.
In North America, the end of civilisation is prepared for. There is little doubt that the mexican situation cannot be indefinitely.
The world prepares to stand still.
Newly Infected Countries:
India, Cuba, Switzerland
DEFCON ALERT
Argentina is on DEFCON 1. All countries (worldwide) on DEFCON 2 can now fire nuclear weapons next turn!
Last Thread Activity - Diplomats
UN Grand Summit
Final Resolution
Topic: The final plan Sponsors: Morocco, Australia
Summary: It's clear that the infection is only picking up speed. Civilisation is being scoured from the world, preperations need to be made.
Those governments that still stand can prepare mighty fortresses, hidden towns and other escape measures. If the world is to be consumed by this contagion, humanity could survive.
But there is dissent. Fire burns the infection away. People from across the globe can cleanse the infection. Could the infection be killed before it advances any more?
If successfully resolved: Fortifications gain 1 effectiveness, humanity buckles down for a generation of isolation - To wait out the virus, let it wear down, and take the earth back.
If resolution fails: Firestarters gain 1 power. Humanity prepares to attempt to burn the infection away, destroy it entirely. Either the virus consumes us, or we... consume it (with fire).
I stand before you during our nation’s darkest hour. Monsters hurl themselves against the borders of our allies. I tell you on this day and in this place that without change we will surely be overwhelmed no matter how bravely we fight.
Fear not! We have not sat idle! Within your hands is the fruit of the toil of our best scientists and engineers! Within your hands is how we will reclaim our future!
We will not yield! You are the light in our darkness! You are the Flamebearers that will return hope to us! You are Ra’s Chosen and you will be the vanguard of our counterstrike against the shadows arrayed against us!
Ra’s Chosen, march!
Generalissimo Baidol Veris, Commissioning of the Ra’s Chosen Firestarter Batallion

This is where Russia says "I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO" with regards to S.M.I.T.H.
Also, @Gumpy can we not vote for the construction of the S.M.I.T.H. now?

Ok, just to make it clear, and in the spirit of not wanting the game to end with nukes launching
We aren't going to nuke the nation that stole from us.
Pinky promise
The game is already going to end with nukes launching, since Argentina made the fucking unprecedented call to go to DEFCON 1 without letting anyone know.
And if you're at DEFCON 2 you can go ahead and launch your own nukes.

You are essentially telling them to launch their nukes at you. If they are at DEFCON 2 or higher then it's M.A.D.
Let me be impolite for a moment
This seems like an incredibly goosey idea
Turn 1 was spent sending Japan strongly worded letters about farts.
Of course we aren't nuking them
If you weren't responsible, then you have nothing to worry about. We know we have the right nation. We started off with a power that alerts us whenever an agent acts within our borders and has a chance to discover the nation they belong to. We weren't told the nation when Russia acted within our borders but we knew an agent attempted to infect our water supply. In the Fort Knox case, we were told the nation and the nature of what was done. It was clarified that the nation info can not be wrong. So yeah. Trust us.
Also, Justice does not necessarily mean nukes.
No.
They can feel free to say "Launch Nukes at the USA if they launch nukes at us." if that will make them feel safer from M.A.D.
They are also free to come and talk in private and clear the air before orders need to go in.
Obifett seems pretty clear in his language that you are nuking them.
Nah
They can read this thread.
Unless they think you're bluffing, you already tipped them off to prepare for reprisal.
bombz4lyfe, all lowercase right?
Given straw poll results, I am going to laugh so hard if you stole the gold.
I'm giving them one more day to come clean so I don't have to follow through with my threat. I don't like making idle threats and never do.
But I would also prefer to not have to follow through on this so I am trying to give them as many chances as possible.
Whoever did whatever, they are pretty much going to be using all their resources to attack your nuclear launch facilities and possibly invade your soil.

they were wrong
No but seriously it wasn't us
I figure if it was you there would have been crates of tea left behind in the vault.

Oh it is. "We're here to exact justice for your wrongful action of theft by... Dunno, bombing you I guess? That's basically what we do"
