The Rossfield Conference

The Rossfield Conference was the 1st session of the Group of Eleven that took place in the small town of The Rossfield in United Provinces in Kanowa. As the first conference, many discussions about the organization itself took place and events across Antarctica, including the newfounded Zeta Connections.

The Organization
Watersson opened the conference by thanking all the leaders of the nations by arriving to The Rossfield to discuss creating a peaceful, stable Antarctica.

Zeta Connections
The entire conference talked about the newfounded Zeta Connections. Ruscoe Federation, Shops Island and the United Provinces stated the Zeta Connections only raise tensions in Antarctica while Ninjinian disagreed.

Transcript of the Conference
(All the leaders sit down at the desk.)

[UPR] McClark: Greetings everyone. I thank you all for coming here to The Rossfield, for sitting by this desk, to discuss creating a peaceful, stable Antarctica.

[SHO] Lavender: Thanks for hosting us here, President McClark. The events of the past year have shown more clearly than ever that we should work towards a more peaceful Antarctica, regardless of our difference.

[UTR] Ninjinian: Good cookie-point you make there, Lilac sir. The recent creation of The Zeta Connections has definitely set a few cookie-sparks here and there. No names though, I promise. (New Snowiny).

[UPR] McClark: Yes, President Ninjinian, we all have our differences. We as a nation are not too keen on this alliance and believe that it will raise tensions for the continent, not better things.

[SHO] Lavender: I've got my own problems with the connections, too. But still, it shouldn't stand in the way of trying to create peace.

[UTR] Ninjinian: Too right Violet. We aren't the only nation present today that is involved in this. Why don't we ask Frederick?

[MAR] Mueller: Yes, uh, well we joined recently as we thought it would be a good idea to connect with each other. Not every alliance can do that. UnitedTerra certainly doesn't have the best relationship with Shops. Maybe that's because Ninjinian can never seem to get the President's name right ...

[USA] Hike: Allow me to interrupt here. If Shops and UnitedTerra aren't the best of friends then that clearly means UnitedTerra can't simply join The Axle Powers all willy-nilly. What's really so wrong in having their own alliance?

[UPR] McClark: What I don't like is the fact that The Connections is stealing nations left right and centre from our own coalitions.

[UTR] Ninjinian: Ah don't think of it like that, Watersson. Here have a cookie, it'll cheer you up.

[SHO] Lavender: It's true that nations like Margate, Culldrome and Munijoch are all part of other alliances and have now joined another. But if Ninjinian and I can't completely see eye-to-eye, then so be it. Those nations can cooperate with UnitedTerra how they like and still cooperate with us, Watersson. The Western Union will be fine regardless of what happens.

[MAR] Mueller: Perhaps Mr. Watersson feels a bit threatened by The Connections, hmm?

[UPR] McClark: Why I, — certainly not! Impossible. The Union is as strong as ever and always will be. No Connections is going to trample that.

[USA] Hike: Perhaps you forget how influential UnitedTerra really is. I'm not trying to scare you or anything but lest we forget UnitedTerra has been my close ally for over a decade.

[UPR] McClark: Yea yea that's good for you Spike. I still think it won't turn out all fancy and well.

[UTR] Ninjinian: Suit your cookie-self, Watersson. Just wait and see.

[MAR] Mueller: The mission is to create a peaceful, stable Antarctica. So let's not dwell on ours and UnitedTerra's affairs for too long and focus on Antarctica as a whole.

[UTR] Ninjinian: In the next cookie-meeting myself and Mr. Mueller will have updates for you on The Connections progress. Right now there is a bigger task that lays ahead of a few of us. The Epic Zenthexian-Terrain War is upon us. I know all of you aren't cookie-involved but it is good for you to know what is about to happen, as well as the cookie-properties of the war.

[UPR] Watersson: Rumour has it the war is to be fought with non-lethal weapons. Can you confirm this Ninjinian?

[UTR] Ninjinian: Aye it is cookie-true! We're bringing back the days of '09 - The Pie War, The The Cookie War. It's war fought peacefully you could say.

[SHO] Lavender: Pfft, there's no such thing as a war fought 'peacefully'. Good on you for trying, though.

[EDI] EDFan12345: Why on earth would Zenthexia attack Magonia anyway?! It was such a ridiculous move.

[UPR] McClark: No real guns? No real bombs? I never knew much about these Pie Wars malarkey, but we're in 2015 now. What is the point Ninjinian?

[UTR] Ninjinian: You guys may not be so cookie-aware of the Skeletal Army ...

[CAS] King Carlos: Who are they?

[UTR] Ninjinian: I'm glad you asked, King Goberna. You see, Watersson, over the years of war that you love to be involved in, zillions of penguins have cookie-died. As a result, the Skele-Master has secretly been building his army from the bones of your victims. They become cookie-infected with the Skeletal Virus and now their army is at large. To put it simply: the more cookie-deaths in the Zenthexian War, the more Skeletal Soldiers there are. It's what they like the most. To be killed!

[UPR] McClark: Why I am absolutely baffled. An army of Skeletons? A virus??

[USA] Hike: Too right Ninj, I've heard about these pesky Skeletals. If you kill em they just get stronger.

[UTR] Ninjinian: Exactly my friend. This is cookie-why we're having non-lethal weapons. PULSE will be providing us with brand new non-lethal artillery and our own departments are already at work themselves.

[ZHU] Wu Jiao: Who are your allies so far?

[UTR] Ninjinian: I'm glad you asked, Jiao. This is the first major step forward for Zeta. All are expected to be participating. I know that Munijoch, Terra Federation and Margate certainly are.

[EDI] EDFan12345: And I suppose Shops Island and Snowzerland won't be involved?

[UTR] Ninjinian: We don't have the best cookie-relationship with the Snosses. And as for Shops, it's really down to ol' Purple over here. We won't really cookie-need that many allies anyway. It'll be a breeze. And fun!

[UPR] McClark: Well, now that you put it that way, the United Provinces wouldn't mind supporting you by providing military aid. Even though no one should be dying.

[UTR] Ninjinian: I've swayed you now haven't I Watersson. Considering that you're offering you can cookie-help, despite your slandering of Zeta.

[USA] Hike: It's been a while since we've allied up, Ninj. Hows about we fight this together?

[UTR] Ninjinian: Sounds cookie-good to me, Spike. Here's a toast to allying up once again and for renewing our trade agreements.

(Ninjinian and Spike Hike raise their glasses of milk)

[UPR] McClark: Well then I'm glad that's sorted. More war for me I guess! Now onto our third matter of business ...
