Cree News NetworkThis article is not in jest. We are deviating from our typical style of news coverage in order to bring a report from the Cree-Notus region just southeast of Estalia. Last night, the leader of Notus, Aiden, reached out to a member of Cree’s diplomatic core with grievances about a railway that Cree had recently made a connection to. This rail is part of the Twilight Rail project, an international effort by several nations to improve onedest connections to smaller nations while minimizing the impact on existing junctions or railways.There have been multiple border disputes between the two nations, most regarding access to the NoOneTruePunk memorial in a lake claimed by Notus after they began construction of a border wall. This conflict was resolved, Notus got their border wall, and Cree is still allowed access to the monument. However, as of last night, the situation has reignited.The reason Aiden was concerned is because the new junction was underneath a section of lake which Notus had plans to build. This was not communicated to Cree, nor has Notus or SPHR made an official claim on the area. It is also important to note that the lake is also not within the borders of Notus, nor is it adjacent to land claimed by Notus. As of right now, the lake is unclaimed by any major power. It is also important to note that Cree did not build the rail; it was a junction created on an existing railway which was built as part of an international railway project underneath unclaimed land which does not border Notus.Pictured: Map of the Twilight Rail NetworkPictured: Aiden's \"non-claimed\" area of the map.According to Matanic, the TRN was a project originally conceived by officials from Icenia, Cortesia, and assorted people from the OneDest team. Regardless of one’s stance on it, this was not a project conceived by, headed by, or funded by Cree. Therefore, Aiden’s use of this junction as potential Casus Belli against Cree is illegitimate. For those who doubt the single-mindedness of Aiden in blaming Cree for this, screenshots will be included at the conclusion of this article.I, LaskyRoo, want to make something clear: I do not hate Notus. I do not want war. CNN is borne from my opinions and is not compelled in any way. However, most of Cree agrees with my sentiment. While I believe there has been wrongdoing on both sides, I and several others have worked very hard to deescalate tensions and maintain peace in the region. Those of you whom I’ve spoken with privately about this matter can attest to this. When the border dispute happened, we worked to draft a compromise. When members of Notus came to me in need of food or supplies, I was happy to supply them. I cannot state any more I want peace. I want my people and neighbours, both Cree and Notian, to be safe. I currently believe that Aiden is currently the biggest obstacle to this.Aiden is a banned player. His ban was somewhat controversial within the parties involved, but regardless of your opinion he is nonetheless in the midst of a 3-month ban. Continuing to lead his nation and engage in foreign policy directly while banned is strictly against CivMC rules.Pictured: HaKr_'s statement on banned players.There is reason for Notus to be upset about some things Cree has done in the midst of this conflict. I personally think that the prior land ban and subsequent rail ban that Cree enacted were too harsh. Both of these have since been repealed. I think that the no contact policy previously enacted by Cree was foolish and only served to heighten tensions. I personally violated this policy during its time and helped to get it repealed. However, this course of action by Aiden is unquestionably foolish and incisive. We came to an agreement regarding the border dispute, I and several others have been working to establish friendship between members of the two nations. I and a couple others from Cree have even had pleasant exchanges with Quasi, a particularly divisive figure to many in Cree. Things were headed towards peace. I hope things can continue this way. I extend this article as an olive branch to those in Notus who are active, and not banned. We don’t want war. We don’t want to violate your sovereignty. Most of us just want peace and friendship in the region. I hope this finds you well, and I hope this article doesn’t become an unfortunate asterisk in the annals of history.This has been LaskyRoo with the greater Lakota region. I will be updating this as new information arises.I am not comfortable advertising donations on an article of this nature. The best thing to do for us would be to advocate for peace in your region. Thank you.https://ift.tt/TLbsYVo to note, Matanic is a Cree citizen by technicality, he has not voted in or engaged with Cree for several months.)In the time since I started writing this, Notus has griefed one of Cree’s builds for the Halloween festival we were going to host. I hope this isn’t an indication of bad things to come. Additionally, since beginning to put this article together in the post, Notus has inserted a junction onto the rail line which negatively affects preexisting routing.Seeing how things are continuing to escalate, I’m not going to be updating this article. I need to dedicate my time to de-escalation internally, and barring that preparing to keep myself safe. I love you all, and hope this isn't the last CNN article for a while.Thank you,LaskyRoo
