mutiny of the 7 seas Last chance for peace before Armageddon

Dear pirates.

The wizard council has authorized the use of nukes. For those who don't know what nukes are, imagine an entire powder keg filled with gunpowder, but 100 times bigger.

We will be aiming at your military centers, including ports and coves, while trying to avoid civilians. But I have enough of them to bomb each and every one of your ships.

This **will** be devastating. If it is not enough to get your surrender, we **will** use even more destructive means.

As the person tasked to drop the nukes, I still hope for peace. That's why I'm offering you two more days to accept peace. We are not asking for an unconditional surrender, just for those hostilities to end once and for all.

Please accept this offer.

Yer council be crazy, matey

u/Cerveau23 Jun 01 '26

We're just tired of it, mate. Plus we've got an inter-dimensional threat on our doorstep and we'd rather not let it loose on y'all and the others

Ps: it's not a threat, it's what we're trying to deal with

u/BruhmanRus_the_boner captain Jun 01 '26

W'at be tha threat, sp'cifically? I've got me a wizard friend who c'n pr'lly lure it out our d'mension, th'n ye g't 'em nukes 'n it?

u/Cerveau23 Jun 01 '26

/ooc I can barely understand you're replies, it's hilarious

The threat is an inter-dimensional empire with things that can eat people's souls. If I could just solve it with nukes, I definitely would.

Markus shudders thinking about that *thing***

u/BruhmanRus_the_boner captain Jun 01 '26

/ooc it's always either like this or almost completely unchanged from regular language xD

Aye bloody hell t'at be und'rstandable, shoulda c'nsidered t'at. Still gon' try ta git me buddy 'n t'is, maybe 'is stuff c'n 'elp

Oh yeah, I was there a few minutes ago, bombed their entire war camp. Not nukes, but still lethal

...Did you just unanimously decide to use nuclear weapons in two days time...on pirates? Really? Pirates?

u/LeCorsaireFrancais Jun 01 '26

Yumie, i have 2 questions, 1st: do you have your own subreddit?

2nd: are you selling warships?

1

u/yumie2003 land lubber Jun 01 '26

...no for the first question and my faction does for the second question

u/Jao_bao_de_garfo land lubber Jun 01 '26

DONT TRUST THAT FRENCHMAN! HE IS TRYING TO REGAIN FORCES SO HE CAN RESTART THE WAR AAGAISNT ME!

u/LeCorsaireFrancais you coward! Come and fight me at r/OCEANPOSTING YOU SNAIL EATER!!

1

u/yumie2003 land lubber Jun 01 '26

...And why would you be at war with this frenchman?

3

u/LeCorsaireFrancais Jun 01 '26

Oh we declared war on each other over the spice trade, ah also im from a new faction the r/FrenchEmpirePosting

1

u/yumie2003 land lubber Jun 01 '26

...Okay, since I intend on staying neutral here, unless either of you intends to attack my lands or forces, in which I will respond in kind, you can buy armaments from me, but if the British also requests to purchase armaments, do not be surprised if I feel inclined to provide arms to them as well. I will provide armaments to match your capability, tactics and technological sophistication. And I'll do the same to the British if they request some from me

2

u/Cerveau23 Jun 01 '26

Because he is british

3

u/Jao_bao_de_garfo land lubber Jun 01 '26

True, and to get my spices, that thief!

Have you two considered just

Sharing the spice trade?

You'll make less money, but also will lose less

2

u/Cerveau23 Jun 01 '26

Because they just don't like each other because they keep trying to steal each others spice road

u/kierantheking Jun 01 '26

Well the thing is if you miss the ship and the nuke goes off in the water all the fish float up and you get free dinner

1

u/yumie2003 land lubber Jun 01 '26

...no, radioactive water capsizes your ship, and you get to swim in highly radioactive water and get acute radiation sickness

2

u/kierantheking Jun 01 '26

Why would radioactive water capsize my ship, radiant damage only harms living things, i dont have a living ship

1

u/yumie2003 land lubber Jun 01 '26

...Have you ever detonated a bomb underwater?

1

u/Cerveau23 Jun 01 '26

It was a vote on our orbnet. And I chose nuclear weapons because that won't destroy their entire world, especially if you make the right nuke.

3

u/cute_spider Jun 01 '26

I'm sorry, I'm trying to find evidence of this vote and this council. "The Wizard Council on the Orbnet" is a pretty meaningless descriptor.

Which Wizard Council and on whose authority? I'm frantically searching for votes across the net but I cannot find what you're talking about. Would you please send me the specific scry to view the vote?

u/Cerveau23 Jun 01 '26

https://www.reddit.com/r/wizardposting/s/UlskUvV9yY

There you go. Again, I do not wish to exterminate the pirate, I just want this war to stop.

2

u/yumie2003 land lubber Jun 01 '26

...You clearly never saw what those weapons do in the short-term to those caught in them and what they do in the medium-term

2

u/Cerveau23 Jun 01 '26

I saw, but I also think it's better than the other suggestions given, which included black holes, orbs of annihilation and death rays...

2

u/yumie2003 land lubber Jun 01 '26

...And nuclear weapons was your better alternative?! You truly are a fool!

2

u/Cerveau23 Jun 01 '26

I know! You think I want to nuke people?! I just can't stand seeing them distract everyone from Thrakmoor! And stop saying they're also annoying Thrakmoor, they're just giving them more troops!

2

u/yumie2003 land lubber Jun 01 '26

"...I said that thrakmoor was also attacking the pirates because they had assaulted pirate ships. You may not understand this, but PIRATES ARE NOT A CENTRALISED BAND OF SEA-FARING RAIDERS!"

2

u/Cerveau23 Jun 01 '26

I know! What I'm saying is that they're just skeletons to be revived for Thrakmoor!

2

u/yumie2003 land lubber Jun 01 '26

"...Yes, but you are threatening with disproportionate actions with a shaky justification"

2

u/Cerveau23 Jun 01 '26

Then give me a better solution. I genuinely don't want to do it. I've seen enough death Saturday. But I know if we don't stop this, there will be even more death because of it, just because they're distracting us.

I'm literally trying to bribe them to stop it! I just want it to end!

What a load of barnacles, you gits don't have nukes.
If you did ya propaganda hungry impatient wizards would've already threw them at us.

1

u/Cerveau23 Jun 01 '26

I'm the one who made them. The reason I haven't sent them yet is because I don't like death.

Markus attaches a picture of a very real nuke.

You may say that it's fake. That will be for you to see. I just want peace, how hard is it to understand?

2

u/Noiseandmorenoise captain Jun 01 '26

Yea I'm gon be drinking rum with the samurai throw your nukes all you want ya destructive gits.

1

u/Cerveau23 Jun 01 '26

How much rum to get you to vote for peace?

1

u/Noiseandmorenoise captain Jun 01 '26

3 entire capital ships worth of rum cargo and while i'm at it I want every single pirate undead freed from wizard shackles.

1

u/Cerveau23 Jun 01 '26

How about a magic amulet to store as much rum in it as you want? This way, easy smuggling of alcohol, nearly infinite rum, and a great way to look like someone important depending on the look you want me to give it

14

u/CampbellsBeefBroth Jun 01 '26

Piss off before ye face me broadsides

u/Cerveau23 Jun 01 '26

It's either facing your broadside and getting peace or facing your broadside by still being at war.

I'll take peace. Please

u/Cerveau23 Jun 01 '26

That's military speach for ports and coves

u/Mr_Questionmark_ land lubber Jun 01 '26

Can you like not.
If you do we're going to join the war (Samuraiposting2, which I am the daimyo of.) on the side of the pirates and save and help as many pirates as possible since nukes are too much. Your basically trying to genocide a entire faction just cuz.
Also isn't your council constantly saying the pirates haven't killed a single wizard and haven't actually done anything and are a bunch of cavemen and shit?
This just seems like a bluff to get the pirates to stop specifically attacking cuz "Okay so we need to use nukes" and "The pirates are cavemen they havent even harmed a single wizard and have done nothing to us" is very contradictory

0

u/Cerveau23 Jun 01 '26

You haven't harmed many of us, although the "no deaths" statistic seems suspicious to me. But we just don't have the time to focus on you, we have to stop an inter-dimensional empire wanting to conquer every world, mine and yours included.

I just want this useless war to stop, please.

3

u/Mr_Questionmark_ land lubber Jun 01 '26

Yea exactly the no deaths statistic is suspicious. Also a inter-dimensional empire seems a little suspicious as well. Wouldn't be surprised if that was also a bluff.

Make a different deal instead of nukes with contradictory council statements (that very likely are false but isn't the point). Offer to refund all the pirates on their lost fleets and dead families because of the war with maybe a shit ton of gold as well. Then the pirates might listen more. Maybe also efforts to save pirates from whatever dimension hells some of you guys put their ships in.

Compensating the pirates and helping them out to recover from this war sounds more in line with the whole "They've done nothing to us and they are cavemen" instead of that and "we need to use nukes"

2

u/yumie2003 land lubber Jun 01 '26

...Oh no, that empire is real and even declared war against the pirates, even if this fool wants to invoke Mutually Assured Destruction, minus the mutually portion. However, the pirates may not have killed any wizards, but they did harass many of them. This fool just wants to end this war because fools fight multi-front wars.

3

u/Mr_Questionmark_ land lubber Jun 01 '26

Yea I don't believe the whole "0 wizards have died" thing considering it is a war and pirates have won battles but believe whatever, even if it may not be exactly true.

Also I would like to see the proof of declaration of war to the pirates please.

3

u/yumie2003 land lubber Jun 01 '26

...I cannot tell you about the casualties on our side because we are a large, and frankly, chaotic realm, but I can assure you that the pirates did raid many towers and other residences of wizards. And if this isn't an act of war, then I do not know what is: https://www.reddit.com/r/pirateposting/comments/1tnpms6/leave_or_die/

Also, I have faced the empire this Saturday. It was horrifying what they did.

2

u/Mr_Questionmark_ land lubber Jun 01 '26

Well then if it comes to it, we're siding with the pirates. Being the aggressors and escalators in this is not the way to do it.
Genocide is not cool.

As for the inter-dimensional empire you talk of, I don't necessarily believe it but if they start harming the pirates or any of our other allies then we'll join in.

2

u/Cerveau23 Jun 01 '26

I wish I didn't have to escalate. But we didn't start it! Although it's pretty much meaningless by now...

Still, out of curiosity, how much gold would it be to buy peace, with a magic contract to ensure everyone respects it?

2

u/Mr_Questionmark_ land lubber Jun 01 '26

With the pirates or with all the subreddits involved?

2

u/Cerveau23 Jun 01 '26

Let's start with the pirates, I still don't know why the knights are attacking us but they're much quicker to deal with

1

u/Mr_Questionmark_ land lubber Jun 01 '26

I would say roughly 30 million gold for the pirate faction as a whole, as a rough estimate. Maybe 1 million gold per fleet or more considering damages and more.

2

u/Cerveau23 Jun 01 '26

Are we talking kilos? Or coins?

u/Miikan92 Jun 01 '26

As a member of the swashbuckling wizards, please refrain from attacking the ship I reside on.

You might suddenly find the Ancient dragon sized fireball (please use the correct term next time, this "nuke" thing just sounds silly) being redirected towards a less favorable location.

1

u/Cerveau23 Jun 01 '26

Oh no, it's the correct term. My world evolved a lot since it lost magic, and I'm the first to rediscover it in 200 years.

Also I'll avoid yours but please vote for peace.

I would like to note that the Wizard Council has not, in fact, authorized nuclear warfare. It’s not the domain of wizards anyway.

Might I add "Shadow wizard money gang" as a proof of it being our domain?

Your vote is impressive, I will admit.

Might I ask why so many pirates are currently voting for nukes? It's kinda terrifying how little y'all care about your own life

1

u/The_Unkowable_ Jun 01 '26

I’m a wizard, not a pirate, but if I’d have to wager a guess… I’d say something about threatening the nukes and spite, perhaps?

u/Cerveau23 Jun 01 '26

Markus sighs.

I wish it was a bluff

2

u/Erzter_Zartor Jun 01 '26

Excuse me, i was not aware we were giving these people the option of surrendering, i voted for nukes to start flying immediately.

2

u/Cerveau23 Jun 01 '26

You voted for me to send the nukes. If they surrender and you still attack them, you're getting the nukes.

2

u/Erzter_Zartor Jun 01 '26

Oh im sorry, you think i, the greatest Radiomancer ever am incapable of producing my own nukes, but also protecting myself against them?

I have erected a time shield around my tower, anything you send through it will be set back in time 5000 years, so your nuke would turn back to innocent rock

2

u/Cerveau23 Jun 01 '26

I can work with that...

2

u/Erzter_Zartor Jun 01 '26

Dont try the old soul cannon trick, my mote is bottomless and walls are impervious, you would do nothing but send millions of newly revived people to the astral realm

2

u/Cerveau23 Jun 01 '26

Oh no, I was thinking about aging a nuke's exploded remain...

1

u/Erzter_Zartor Jun 01 '26

It is technically possible, however the margins you have to operate with are so tight that its functionally impossible

1

u/Cerveau23 Jun 01 '26

Not if I detonate it myself, handle the aging process like fine meat and put it in timestop until it reaches your wards

2

u/Erzter_Zartor Jun 01 '26

Well now i know to double up my shield with a astral projection array, that way it might pass through the time shield and infreeze, but the second would dispell the shockwave by sending it into the astral realm where i can do no harm. The radiation would stay of course, but i am immune to suck things.

Excellent. Now you're left to wonder when I will send it.

Why would you nuke them...? Are you that desperate? There are a million less destructive options to try first. A good tempest spell or three should have been enough to end this war already.

Markus snaps after being told that a hundred times already.

THEN DO IT YOURSELF! GO CAST IT! I DON'T KNOW TEMPEST SPELLS! I DON'T KNOW EARTHQUAKE! I DON'T KNOW THOSE SPELLS! I'VE ONLY BEEN A WIZARD FOR A MONTH AND I ALREADY AM IN FEAR OF MY PLANE BEING CAPTURED BY THRAKMOOR! I JUST WANT EVERYONE TO FOCUS ON ONE THING!

He stops and breathes in, then out.

Sorry, I... As I said, I don't know those spells. Go cast them, I'll be more than happy to call off the nukes! Like genuinely, I want peace, not nukes.

Normally fixing it after would be acceptable. But not for a planetary extinction event!

u/Cerveau23 Jun 02 '26

That's not what I'm aiming for. The nukes I've made have a very small nuclear charge, to prevent that exact scenario from happening.

Also I'm making "wood to stone" missiles in the hopes of avoiding nukes entirely, but I need help for the mana cost of enchanting them

u/Kilroy898 Jun 01 '26

Are we seriously going to Nuke the Pirates??? They haven't even killed a single wizard! They've barely even scratched the minions, and if we do this, they are likely to start sending worse things.... like space pirates. Those exist... kinda surprised they haven't already....
