EDIT if Riptide really is quitting, as outlined here, I'll drop the ultimatum for obvious reasons. Also, I denounce the doxx of Riptide, that's going way too far.

I'm still angry at myself for going to bed early yesterday and sleeping through the day's events. I was not there to defend my country, and I only got filled in once I woke up about an hour ago. After reading up and talking to people, finding out exactly what happened, I'm here to make a public statement about the ISIS government and Riptide.

Yesterday, a lot of drama happened and a lot of PvP happened, both in Augusta and in ISIS. I'm not going to go into the details of Malen and co. attacking Libertas people within Istanbul for previous bounties- Libertas aren't citizens, even if they were there to defend our citizens in my absence- I'll let them pursue their own claims.

What I'll be focusing on was Riptide's attacking and pearling of Soccer- an ISIS citizen, and 6-month old resident of Istanbul- within his own home! Essentially, Riptide has decided that it would be acceptable for him to walk into a foreign, sovereign nation, where he has no authority, walk into a citizen's own home, and attack that citizen for his actions in a different country, Mt Augusta, which, I should add, were perfectly legal within the Augustan constitution.

I'm not going to express myself on the morality of Soccer's dereliction. What I am going to express myself on is Riptide's (and perhaps certain others) absolute disrespect for ISIS and her citizens by attacking Soccer while he's naked.

As I'm aware, Soccer is pursuing his own claims for the material damages he lost, and for events in Mt. Augusta. That's being settled in a /r/mtaugustajustice case.

However, I, as Sultan of ISIS, because of the actions outlined above, am separately pursuing a simple request to Riptide on behalf of the state: an apology to the state of ISIS, written on the sub, and 15 diamonds to the government. This is for trampling our sovereignty, and to get Riptide to recognize that ISIS is a separate nation, one where he can not simply walk into, wave his schling-schlong in everyone's faces and do as he pleases.

If Riptide had an issue with Soccer, especially when he was in his house in Istanbul, he should have approached me, the government of ISIS, with his troubles. Riptide should know I'm a reasonable person and we've historically enjoyed a friendship, so I would have heard him out.

What Riptide should not have done was do exactly what he did.

Therefore, the request stands. It's a simple one, I'm sure 15 diamonds won't be putting Riptide on the street, and I believe an apology is needed after his actions yesterday.

Thank you for your time, everyone
