Arrested men can't report. What's more, people don't want to read about maybes and possibilities. Right now we play the part of pesk journalist, let the military and central think we're just some two time war reporter. We can't report anything substantial just yet like the prisoner movements without more evidence, or anything involving the letter. And mentioning the racist soldiers would only draw unwanted eyes for little effect.
"So what if soldiers are racist?" Will day the military. "They're entitled to their views."

We need to buy our time and gather more evidence before we can hit them with a zinner that the military can't easily squirm out of. We can't stop the genocide about to happen... but we can at the very least reveal it for all of its horror.

On the other hand, the most impactful our first report is the greater the effect will have on the public, and the best the benefit will be for us (alongside the risks) but it will also give the fuckers on Central a difficult time from the begining

Thanks to the General's letter we have enough proof to show to the public that this whole conflict was planned from the start we should capitalize on that.

Besides that our Write in has to be consistent with the previous @Hoppylo Write in.

What are the differences between keeping a low profile in the articles and going all in?

Well, for one thing, if you go all in, you may endanger the paper without some damn good proof to back it up, as many of Central command might issue orders to... shut you down.

Low profile... well you won't be any different then the other papers reporting the official story from the millitary's mouth.

But the reward for showing that the nations is willingly committing genocide is... very rewarding.

But failure to do so might make you blacklisted... and that means your pretty much someone the Military is tactically hunting down to prevent any more missteps.

And I suppose that any write-ins will need to be consistent with the one that was voted during the previous turn no?

I doesn't have to be, but it would make the article longer and better if you all decided to use the information there to help.

A letter directly for the Military head in Ishval admitted that they have been preparing for this attack in Ishval and the unedited images of Amestrian soldiers butchering an hospital are enough to prove that?

Some of it.

After all... People will deny deny deny... until the proof is irefutible... And this is not irefutible. At least not yet. We're still in the early days of the war... if we can even call it that right now.

But don't worry... we'll gain some friends out of this as well.

I'm not saying we don't go after the bastards for what they're doing, but right now laying out cards from the get go will do more harm than good. We need to bide our time, get more evidence, and wait for the right moment. We get one shot at this, then the military will be on our asses and our jobs will get a lot harder. We need to make it count.

I mean even if we don´t go for the letter and the moving of prisoners we should at least tell the story of what happened in the Hospital, since we have proof about what happened there, and plant the seeds that the poor scapegoat was that, a scapegoat by describing how he was hated on by his own unit for being actually sympathetic with the Ishvalan... Your plan needs to release a little more of what we have

A Gaze into a Future
  • Apocrypha
    • A Gaze into a Future:

    You smiled as you took in the valley of Resembool. It was as peaceful as you imagined. The rolling hills and the smell of the farms were something pleasing to the eye.

    The air was clear... it was bright, the sun was warm, but not unpleasant.

    It was... truly peaceful.

    Such a blessed existence, the people here had. To be far away from war, death, and conflict that seemed to engulf another, formerly prosperous region of Amestris.

    You didn't blame them for just focusing on their lives and families... they had other things to worry about, more personal things that were well and good. You were not someone who wished for great change... you just covered the news, and allowed people to make choices for themselves.

    You smiled. They had to be waiting for you now...

    Ishvallan Terrorists destroyed the station two years ago... but here it was, a fun and lively town, celebrating the Wool Festival. Nothing could stop these hardy loving people... not even war.

    "Alfred?" A voice called and you turned to see the Rockbells waiting for you. "My god, it is you?" Yuiry Rockbell was smiling, as he walked forward with his family in tow. "How long has it been... two years?"

    Two years, six months, twenty-three days. That long since you saved their lives from that Ishvallan... But that was not something to really belive... or think about for right now...

    You were alive because of their kindness... and you just repaid it in kind.

    You could only smile... your voice still lost, gone, in a wave of... your own making. "Would you like to join us for the Festival?" the patriarch of the Rockbell's asked.

    You nodded.

    You needed this...a moment of peace.

    "Come on, We'll introduce you to Winry and her friends." Yuriy stated, leading you towards the large mass of blonde hair, two boys and a girl, with a hulking mass of a man, and a woman who held his arm enjoying the day.

    Then your eyes widened as the man did the same.

    "Alfred?" He shouted.

    Hohenheim?
     
  • Apocrypha
    • [X] Hundreds of innocent dead on the Streets of Ishval!!
    -[X] Use a short retelling of the directions that Central and the Ishavllan have always had with Central since their annexation into Amestris as an introduction
    -[X] Cover the death of the child as the nonsensical tragedy it was, with an emphasis on how she and her family were totally normal and innocent civilians, and that the poor child simply happened in the wrong place at the wrong time.
    -[X] Explain that the alleged shooter denied all the charges and believed to be framed up, suggest that even if there are several witnesses that identified him, or at least someone that looked like him shooting the girl it is still bizarre that a veteran soldier with no prior military misconduct or any signs of mental illness could have killed a child in cold blood, especially as he was well known among the ranks to be sympathetic to the Ishvallans, which made many of his companions hostile towards him and explain the details surrounding his suicide, and how he died denying his guilt
    -[X] Talk about the riots caused by the death of the kid and their consequences, also add that whereas the military response was legal under the Amestrian law the response still feels disproportionated, also comment on how the military is ramping up their presence in the region, and make note that they are not equipped to handle riots or pacify the population, but as a pure combat force meant to be deployed on active frontlines.
    -[X] End the article with the haunting tale of the massacre at the hospital, go into great lengths to describe this horrible scene and how all the Ishvallan were either summarily executed or captured, and how many soldiers were crying as they carried out their orders.
    -[X] Send to your Uncle all the necessary pictures, transcriptions, and materials to support your report.

    Well this is my plan, I made sure not to include the movements of prisoners or the letter, but besides that, I made sure to show how bad things are going in Ishval and that the military has been actively engaging in war crimes from the beginning.

    The only thing I will say against that, and this just for clarity sake about the situation that has occurred and the laws that are on the books in Amestris: There were riots that occurred before we arrived, and they were trying to storm the train station and the Army used Machine guns on them...

    But, Under the laws of Amestris, What happened was an appropriate usage of force by the military to defend vital assets from being damaged or destroyed by an unruly and disorganized mob.

    So the massacre that happened wouldn't be considered a war crime under Amestrian Law. However, if the usage of force was deemed wanton and unessicery by the generals of high command, they would hold tribunals and strip the ranking officer of rank.

    Again, what they did was wrong, but under Amestrian Law... they were within a very grey morality of both legal and illegal use of force.

    I was not talking about the initial response to the riots themselves being war crimes, even if they were a clearly unnecessary use of force...

    I was talking about the summary execution of people in the Hospital, which I don´t really think that can be judged as nothing else but a terrible war crime

    I hope so, I mean they may have a law that makes the raiding of the hospital legal.

    Oh no, that was clearly a war crime.

    Even though technically it would be thrown out in any Amestrian Court because the Judges are cowards.

    Note that I said Amestrian Court.

    Mustang/Johan: We Can't just kidnap war criminals and Try them in another country?

    Alfred: Watch me! There will be Justice for Ishval!
     
    @americanCaeser May I ask you why not talking about the massacre at the hospital, or how the alleged shooter claims to be a scapegoat?

    I doesn´t give a clue about the most important things like letter or us knowing where the prisoners are going, and it will give us a much better-rounded article... And @Magoose has claimed that the more we uncover we will get more benefits.

    Well, you have @americanCaeser [] Shots Fired in Ishval as Tensions Explode! which only gives a general report of an innocent girl was killed that there have been riots, and that the sold, @radioxaxa , which is not a plan and it simply emphasizes that he was the only good dude on the unit and that he was probably framed, and mine [] Hundreds of innocent dead on the Streets of Ishval!! that expands the reports of the child and the soldier who allegedly shot her, and also includes the massacre on the hospital in the report. (I don't say anything about the letter or where they are taking the prisoners)
