Pilon - Nation's name
Pilonese - Language, Member of Nation of Pilon, Plural

History:
10,500 BP (Before Pilon) - The first civilizations of the Burmian Continent begin to take shape. Among them are the Planktonians, The Triple Fishes, and The Poncelets. The Burmian Continent is a heavily jungled area that is divided into two regions, the Burmese Highlands and the Burmese Lowlands. The Burmese Lowlands are mostly swamp and unhabitable.
10,500-500BP - The civilizations give rise to several distinct nations that quickly settle the land. Planktonia became the major trading power of the region, establishing multiple trading colonies near valuable resources. They also become the first democracy in Burmia. Ponceletistan is established soon after Planktonia and becomes a large empire mostly populated by poor serfs. Their economy is next to non-existent and never grows much beyond that though they are quickly recognized as a paradise for the poor and multitudes flock to the country putting further stray on the country’s resources. The third major kingdom is run by the first of a long line of ruthless killers. The first king’s initial way of taking power was to poison the three rivers that flow through the kingdom that were renowned for their high fish populations. This empire became known as the Three Dead Fish Empire, the only thing that kept them in power was the Military that was easily 4-10 times the size of the other nation’s militaries.
5,000 BP - During the Cultural boom that leave the great empires of Planktonia and Ponceletistan in a state of rapid cultural evolution, a new order is founded. This order is known as the Order of the Open Eye. The secret order is mostly made up of Wizards, Soothsayers, Medicine Men, and Wise Men of the land. The order exists in both Planktonia and Ponceletistan and within 50 years is the largest secret order in the land. The Order’s ideals are the advancement of knowledge above all other goals and the making of a Utopian Society that holds this goal above all else.
5,000 BP-500BP – The Golden years of Burmia. It is within this time that with the guidance of the Order of the Open Eye technology develops quickly. Alarmed by this many of the most religiously devout peoples migrate away from the great empires and form new countries. These new countries are:
The Holy Empire of the Divine Figurehead, a Capitalist country that follows the guidance of the Divine Figurehead, an oracle with the ability to foresee the future.
The Holy Empire of the Tree, a strange cult that teaches a form of Paganism in which Trees are worshipped. Population in this country booms.
The Republic of Xanthum, a secret order that teaches that all things much be in balance. They saw the technological boom as an unbalance and sought a more harmonious way in the universe.
In addition Planktonia becomes a major industrial power of the world, they become the first industrialized nation and soon begin cutting down the rich foliage of the surrounding area. Three Dead Fish take their cue and also begin to industrialize and cut down the trees. Ponceletistan sees this as a horrible rape of the world and take measures to preserve the Environment in their land. In a revolution that is renowned for being the first peaceful uprising in Burmian history the Poncelets form a Communist Government. Planktonia and The Holy Empire of the Divine Figure Head join together into an alliance and sever diplomatic ties with the country.
250BP – The last of the Burmese Highlands is settled.
45BP – Following a massive revolt the Eco-friendly populace of the western third of Planktonia break away. They are still heavily capitalist but see the blind industrialism of Planktonia as wrong and take steps to restore what trees they can. This new nation becomes known as Gabrionagh.
10BP – The nations of Burmia reach a level of technological advancement equal to Post Modern World (Current Day)
1 BP – The Order of the Open Eye, an order that holds sway over most of the scientific community of Burmia makes the decision that they can no longer be governed by governments after, under guidance from the Divine Figurehead’s Holy Empire, Planktonia passes a series of laws heavily restricting Technological development. Over the next year all members of the Order liquidize their possessions and leave. In the meantime the Gabrionagh owned contruction company builds a massive floating city in the Burmese Lowlands. The construction company is payed well for their work by the Order and the migration to this city is efficient and quick.
1 AP (After Pilon) – Having spent another year setting up a government and finishing the migrations the country is officially named Pilon after the city it is built upon. With relief supplies from The Holy Empire of the Tree, Ponceletistan, The Republic of Xanthum, Industrial Resources from Gabrinagh the country grows quickly. The scientists who migrate are the best in their fields and quickly devise a way to drain the swamplands for additional space without damaging the environment.
4 AP – After an international incident involving a funded extraction of a willing subject from Three Dead Fish to Pilon the Tyrannical country joins Planktonia and The Divine Figurehead in an alliance against Pilon and Ponceletistan. This alliance is called the Tri-Nations-Pact (TNP) In response the two countries form a counter alliance against Domineering Capitalist Countries (Domineering is only added after Gabrinagh joins the alliance) and soon recruits Gabrionagh, Xanthum, and The Tree. This alliance is known as the Alliance of Free Peoples (AFP). The Industrial Resources are divided fairly evenly between the two alliances, however the TNP has about four times the Military of the AFP even though they have 3 times the population of the TNP. In response to this the Holy Empire of the Tree declares a state of national emergency and begins to Draft its citizens. Within a year the numbers are evened out though now the TNP has superior Economic Resources and the AFP has better technology.
10 AP – With the support of the other nations in the AFP Pilon is elected over Planktonia as the UN delegate for the region. Pilon quickly begins to use its newly found political power to get UN sactions against Planktonia and gather foreign aid to the AFP cause.
248-267 AP – The Great Burmese War – Following an official declaration that all nations should have to submit to weapons inspections from Pilonese weapons inspectors Planktonia closes its borders to AFP citizens. When the inspectors show up anyway guarded by Pilonese Elite Guard a skirmish is fought between Pilon and Planktonia. Though vastly outnumbered by the Planktonian military the Pilonese forces inflict massive causualties and manage to get the weapon’s inspectors to safety before they are destroyed. Outraged at this the Triumverate (ruling executive body of Pilon) declared war on Planktonia. In the flurry of declaration that followed soon it was TNP declaring war on AFP. The Empire of Three Dead Fish, who hated Ponceletistan with a passion launched a full scale attack on the country, who had little more than a police force and no guns in the country at all. Xanthum sent in forces to try to cut off the supply lines of Three Dead Fish but were unable to stop the Blitzkrieg attack. Ponceletistan fell within a week of being attacked. With the shift of control came a shift in Ponceletistan’s vote in the UN and Pilon lost its UN delegate status as Planktonia tied them. Planktonia and Pilon launched their forces against one another. Pilon has a vastly outnumbered force but had technology beyond anything Planktonia had ever seen, using energy shields, plasma weapons, power armor infantry, Battlemechs, and pinpoint orbital weapon’s platforms they made quick work of the deadly Planktonian Tanks and Ground Troops. The Divine Figure Head revealed missles that soon took out the orbital defences of Pilon but the Microware Shielding prevented any damage to Pilon itself from Missle attack. At the same time a joint attack from Three Dead Fish and Divine Figurehead kept the main AFP force of Gabrinagh and The Tree busy. It is estimated that over half a billion troops were involved in war.
As the war raged on it became obvious that TNP was better suited for a prolonged war. Pilon however still had an ace in the hole. As a former UN delegate they had made alliances with countries in other regions. As the war began to look badly for the AFP the Pilonese Ambassador called upon them for support. Nations from the nearby region of Ayenee came to Pilon’s support. Just as Xanthum fell to the Three Dead Fish’s Onslaught relief troops from the countries of Ayenee, Tolberth, Wonder_Land, and The Holy Empire of Furby sent in relief troops. Ayenee and Tolberth landed on Pilon’s shores and moved inwards against the Three Dead Fish’s southern Army while Wonder_Land and Furby attacked Three Dead Fish from behind in conquered Ponceletistan and Xanthum. A newly launched pinpoint missle weapon system of Pilon’s, funded by other nations that would not send military aid but send money also helped. By this point Gabrinagh had pushed into The Divine Figurehead’s capitol and destroyed their missles.
Within 2 years after this new support the war was ended under the following terms:
The Members of the TNP will dissolve their alliance and give UN support to the nation of Pilon.
Three Dead Fish will relinquish control of Ponceletistan and Xanthum to its people and withdraw to its own lands.
All TNP member’s missles and WMD will be confiscated and held by the nation of Pilon for safekeeping.
The TNP member’s will accept responsibility for the war and repay to AFP and its allies in Ayenee ALL costs in damages and lost materials from the war. In addition they will pay tribute to Pilon of 1/5 their populations to be sent to Pilon’s rehabilitation facilities before being sent to AFP member-states to replentish lost lives.
TNP member’s will accept Pilonian demands of DNA samples from all key military and leadership.
TNP will cease their senseless destruction of the ecosystem within their borders.
Any violations of these terms will be considered an act of war under extreme conditions and AFP members will respond appropriately. Nuclear response is authorized in such situations as are Biological and Chemical attacks.
Pilon and the other nations of Burmia paid dearly for help from their allies in Ayenee. As most of the militaries were unchecked as they moved throughout the land much of the land the allies moved through was ravaged. Reports of Rapes, Abductions, and Pillaging were commonplace and Pilon was in no position to demand a stop from its allies.
268-293 AP – The great famine spreads throughout Burmia. It was later discovered to be a pox brought from Ayenee to Burmia to end the war quickly but it grew beyond control and spread from TNP nations to AFP nations. Crops died and soon all nations in Burmia began to die off by the thousands. Pilon began work on a solution to the problem and finally found one in 291 AP, an invention called a Beef Vat that grew the equivalent of a cow from a single cell in 1 day. This coupled with pox-resistant strains of plants allowed Pilonian crops to flourish. Within two years the crops of Pilon were being sold to Xanthum, Ponceletistan, The Tree, and Planktonia. Pilon made sure using its newly established spy networks that Three Dead Fish never received the food. Over the next 5 years Three Dead Fish slowly died off, becoming the first part of Burmia to become a ruined wasteland unable to support life. The Divine Figurehead, now the biggest enemy of Pilon managed to smuggle supplies of the food into their country using a new device that was being developed in the war, it allowed items to be instantly transported from one place to another. It was developed in Planktonia and sent to Divine Figurehead.
298-309 AP – Now having a taste for power the nation of Pilon decides to go to war with the recovering Divine Figure Head. Outraged by this illegal action Xanthum, Planktonia, and Ponceletistan object. Xanthum and Planktonia go so far as to send in troops to ensure no invasion takes place. Once again war breaks out in Burmia but Pilon is well prepared for war. Within days of the war’s beginning all high ranking officials in Planktonia and Divine Figurehead (Including the Oracle’s decendant who rules the country as Divine Emissary) die. The chaos allows Pilon to focus on the Xanthum forces whom they both outnumber and are more technologically advanced. Within a few short weeks the forces Xanthum sent are routed and captured or destroyed, Planktonia retreats into their own land to regroup and Pilon moves in to Divine Figurehead where the Device that transported the Food is discovered and retrieved (it was later the basis for Pilon’s FTL engines) The Holy Empire soon became a protectorate of Pilon and was renamed New Pilon. Planktonia signs a peace treaty with Pilon just as Gabrinagh enters into the war and attacks Planktonia. Having achieved their immediate goal Pilon consolidates their holdings in New Pilon and lets Gabrionagh fight Planktonia. Planktonia is better equipped and outnumbers Gabrionagh. Within a few months soon Xanthum is fighting alongside Planktonia and Ponceletistan is being raided by Gabrionagh to supply recruits for the fight. To stop this Pilon invades Ponceletistan and annexes the country as Pilon. The war rages on and Pilon builds up Militarily and Technologically as the nations around it fight.
310 AP – The Tree enters into the war. Having just reached 1 Billion people in the country the Tree has almost 400 million more people than anyone else involved in the war. Their military was larger even than Pilon’s but was poorly trained and even more poorly equipped. Their troops are quickly decimated when Pilon surprise attacks The Tree. By the end of the year Pilon destroys all of the other fighting countries as well. This is the beginning of the Imperial Age of Pilon.
311-324 AP – Pilon establishes puppet governments in all of Burmia. As they have conquered all of the nations Pilon also recalls all other Burmian nations from the UN and loses Delegate status, but retains their membership in the UN. Using the resources taken from all of the other conquered nations of Burmia Pilon begins to fund an interplanetary space program aimed at establishing colonies from the Sun’s Corona to the Oort Cloud within 100 years. They also being to build the Arcologies that Pilon now entirely houses its people in. Knowing that one day Pilon would leave the cradle and walk among the stars Pilon designs these Arcologies to be capable of housing 500 million people each, can be launched into space using a newly developed Anti-Gravity device that negated gravity, and could travel in space. Within a 48 hour period an Arcology could be fully prepared to launch into space or land at a new location and setup industrial facilities to maintain the Arcology. This soon became a marvel of Pilonese Engineering.
325-425 AP – As the space program goes about it is soon discovered that other nations have already moved into space. Many of the nations react with hostility towards the newly founded colonies and several are destroyed. In particular the Saturn Colonies and the Mercury Colony were destroyed. In addition an accident resulted in the lost of the colony around Uranus. As the colonies begin to be founded Pilon becomes a Hegamony and in similar fashion to what they did with the conquered nations of Burmia these colonies are set up to send the maximun amount of resources back to Pilon to be used in new projects. The only exceptions to this are the colonies set up in the asteroid belt that send their resources to Io, the Io colony that becomes the new shipyards for the Pilonese space fleets, and the Oort Cloud colony, which is used to construct experimental ships capable of FTL travel.
425-475 AP – The resources of Burmia begin to wane. In response to this Pilon releases the conquered countries to govern themselves and encloses themselves into their Arcologies entirely. Their entire focus is now centered around their space assets. They countries having been rehabilitated and under Pilonian control for so long no longer are able to govern themselves and the continent outside of Pilon is reduced to Anarchy, the countries fall one by one and many of the people migrate back to Pilon where they are sent to the many colonies in space. This is when the Grand Projects of Pilon begin. Having all of these resources from the 38 colonies established around the solar system Pilon begins to build first 4 additional Arcologies, then a great flagship to lead their fleet. The Flagship is named the Blade of Apletesh. It is a 100km long ship mostly made to be impressive than to be efficient though it is capable of manuveuring using antigrav projectors. The ship’s class is called Supercarrier. It houses the entire compliment of Pilon Space Marines, including power armor, Battlemechs, and Orbital Support craft. Heavy Weapons are mounted on the ship that cover entire sides of the ship in directed energy. As the construction of this ship begins tighter controls over the resources strains the colonies and many colonists begin to die from lack of energy or resources to support themselves in colonies that are not capable of sustaining themselves. In response the controls grow even tighter, soon dead Pilonese people are being processed into the base elements and then used in construction materials. By the time the ship is finished a definite rift between the Pilon natives who live in a Utopian society and their colonists who live lives not much better than slaves.
476-488 AP – The official outbreak of the revolt. This same year new colonies are established on Alpha Centauri, Barnard’s Star and a penal colony is built around Proxima Centauri. Many of the revolting colonists are able to convince their fellow Pilonese citizens living back home that its wrong to treat sentients like slaves and support for the revolt grows out of hand for the government. In response the Government shuts off supply runs to the colonies. The dark age of Pilon begins.
489-681 AP – Contact is cut off with the colonies and the Hegamony of Pilon crumbles as quickly as it was built. Outside in Burmia the ecological damage is so great the continent is no longer habitable. As the leadership of Pilon is deposed a new government is established, the current government, is established. The Hegamony of Pilon is renamed the Community of Pilon. The Wise counsel is set up and those who do not wish to live in Pilon leave in ships, this includes most of the space fleet and high ranking officials, except the Triumverate who supported the changes and become speakers on the wise counsel. For the next 192 years the government establishes itself and then focuses on new industrial techniques that are not harmful to the environment. They also develop almost every other aspect of their culture and technology jumping ahead hundreds of years in technology.
682 AP – Deciding to discover what happened to the lost colonies Pilon sends out one of the newly constructed reconnaissance ships. Their reports show signs of abandoned colonies but no survivors beyond a few colonies that were taken over by new space-faring nations.
683 AP – Finally deciding its time to leave the cradle Pilon leaves Earth and using their gate technology transport the Five Arcologies to Mars where they settle in Solis Planum for a time.
684-689 AP – Helping the Martian Terraforming Project and establishing new diplomatic alliances with nations around the area Pilon learns of an alliance that suits their goals known as the World Technological Entity (WTE)
670 AP – Making the decision to join the WTE Pilon moves from Mars to Sisgardia, the home planet of the WTE. The leave behind a small presense however and are told to establish a colony when enough people are there.
671-689 AP – Pilon continues to meet more nations, they join the Galactic Alliance (GA) and grow in power.
670 AP – Pilon establishes a new colony on Venus. Their intent is to begin a terraforming project there that rivals the Martian Terraforming Project in scale and completion.
677 AP – Pilon begins construction of a sixth Arcology to relieve the overcrowding of their capitol. It is also to allow for more growing room for their people.
678 AP – Pilon signs the MIDAS treaty.
679 AP – Pilon’s Martian populace number 5 million and establish a colony there, they immediately begin construction of a new Arcology. The colony is based underwater.
681 AP – Pilon’s 6th Arcology is completed, Pilon Celebrates.
683 AP – Pilon enters into a treaty with Pilonia, the survivors of the colonies and those Pilonese that left after the government change.
723 AP - The Martian War, Vascilia County invades New Roan and in responce Tor Yvresse declares war on Vascilia County. To support their allies Pilon also declares war. The war goes on for only a few days before a cease fire is called. Soon afterward a deadly outbreak of a disease known as the Grey Phage ravaged Mars. Pilon traces the source of the plague to Anti-Funitism, a Vascilia County member. They later develop a cure for the phage and give it to all MIDAS members and allies on Sisgardia, as well as Pilonia.
Language
The native language of Pilon is called Pilonese. It is a complex mixture of the native Burmian language that all civilizations native to the Burmian continent share. Pilonese is a combination of Plantonian and Poncelese.

Government
The government of Pilon is headed by a 7 member council called the wise counsel. The highest member of the counsel who directs the counsel’s discussions and arbitrates disputes is called the Headspeaker. In addition to the Headspeaker’s responsibilities in the counsel they are also in charge of all foreign policy and diplomacy as well as any treaties that are signed and official statements sent to foreign governments.
The other speakers are in charge of the following areas: Culture, Military, Intelligence, Economics, Media, and Law. Each speaker is put in charge of their specific parts of the government and all ministries within their branch of government are under their direct control.

Religion
The Pilonese government is officially Athiest. They do not allow any missionaries or proselytizing within the country’s borders however they do allow those citizens that wish to practice their religion to do so.

Economy
The currency of the Pilonese government is the Pi. They are very proud of the Pi and refuse any attempts to change to a universal or shared currency of any other government. It is considered a matter of national pride to keep the Pi as the currency.
The main export (indeed pretty much the only export) of Pilon is technology and ideas. They are very picky about what technology and ideas are shared, most military technology is classified for the first 5 years after its developed and most other technology is classified for the first year or two. In addition Pilon has some of the most popular and successful casinos in the universe and many tourists come to Pilon to play. The money made from these casinos is funneled into the national treasury and used in social programs. Because of the utter lack of exports and the construction of only what Pilon needs to consume the economy is recorded as being Imploded by the UN. The national budget is indeed about that of an imploded economy’s budget after all of the social welfare programs, education, food, and housing programs for all of Pilon’s citizens are taken care of. Because all of the universal expenses of Pilon’s citizens are taken care of the government’s tax rate is well above 90% Pilon’s citizens entire checks that they get to take home can be spent on enertainment and recreation.

Education
The Education system in Pilon is one of the most advanced in the universe. Having developed advanced social engineering techniques and conducting advanced psychological studies involving how the brain learns Pilon instituted Education programs that took advantage of this work. As infants Pilonese children are given Nanopedias, advanced reference books that create three dimentional figures and is fully interactive with the child. It is linked to the infant’s mind and feeds information to the child at the maximum rate the child can take in information. By the time a Pilonese child is 5 they already can speak 2-5 languages, are reading at an adult reading level, and beginning to develop abstract thinking skills. Pilonese children do not go to school like children in other countries. Instead at age 5 the Pilonese child is fitted with a Node, a cybernetic chip that links them to the rest of society, giving the child access to the sum of Pilonese knowledge. As they grow and learn over the next 10 years the child slowly adjusts to the Node and learns to more readily and quickly access the information available to him. By the time a child is 15 they are ready to become full fledged citizens of Pilon and take their place becoming stable productive members of society.
There are always exceptions to the rule. People who do not desire to work or are detrimental to society in some way. Pilon also has some of the most advanced rehabilitation centers ever developed with a 99% success rate it is the pride of Pilonian Psychological Studies. (Discussed more in the Law Section)

Enertainment
Like most people Pilonese enjoy their enertainment. With technology where it is in Pilon this enertainment is mostly found in interactive VR simulations, Trivid programming and movies, works of art and music, and daring acts of adventure using hovercraft, or some other popular device. The enertainment available in Pilon is quite varied.

Arcologies
All Pilonese live in Arcologies. These are the great Arcologies first developed during the Imperialist Era of Pilon’s history. There are currently 6 Arcologies completed each capable of housing 500 million people, though they comfortably house around 250 million each. Each Arcology develops individually into its own separate city that looks unique on the inside though the design for every one is the same. The most ascetic of all Pilonese Arcologies is the capitol city, Terra City, the second Arcology built. It is full of great works of art, parks and monuments to Pilonese achievements.
Every Arcology provides everything needed to maintain life for a Pilonese citizen, from housing to food to work and social activities.

Law
Pilon’s laws are straightforward and practical. All violators are brought before an arbitrator who reviews the case and determines the reason behind the offence. After making a judgement all necessary reparations are made. In extreme cases the violator is sent to one of Pilon’s rehabilitation facilities where the person’s faults are fixed. This has been used to turn around terrorists from other countries, criminals of all types, and those that are discontent with society or refuse to be productive to society. The success rate is 99%

Military
The Pilonese Military is rather small for the size of the nation. Roughly 1% of the nation is put into the Military, though this is made up for with advanced technology and training.

Intelligence
Pilon likes to keep tabs on other countries and what they are up to. Pilonese operatives have developed advanced infiltration techniques that allow their operatives to slip in and become residents of the country, they can often stay in the field for 10-25 years without ever being discovered by foreign powers. Each is equipped with disintegration tablets that allow a captured spy to remove all evidence of themselves from the nation if captured.

Media
The news is very important in Pilonese society. The media transmits to all Pilonese citizens through their nodes all of the most recent discoveries and advances in technology allowing for each of adaptation to emerging technologies. The system as its set up allows for a constant state of advancement in technological levels with a high level of integration into society’s lives. In addition popular culture, the latest ideas, theories, and philosophical debates, and the newest enertainment, music, and literature are transmitted throughout the society at lightening speed.

Environment
The Environment is very important to Pilon. They saw what happened when over industrialization ruined their home continent and destroyed all other nations native to Burmia. That is why they maintain strict control over the environmental impact of Industry and keep a balance with nature. They have developed a green industry that helps to promote ecological growth and at the same time maintain industrial production with a mere 25% loss in total productivity. As technology improves this number continues to drop.

You call that a synopsis?! :shock:

Put a lot of work, into it, though. Well done.

I'll have to do this for Sirocco sometime... my nation's been through many wild chapters...

Well done, very interesting read... one question: Is the Pilonese media controlled by the government or is it a free press?
Pilon
17-09-2003, 18:31
Well...
The Government censors what is freely available to anyone to ensure that no classified information is given out.
The media is headed by the speaker of Media who is part of the wise counsel.
You might say that the media partially controls the government.
Sirocco
17-09-2003, 18:41
So, does he try to instigate scandals to boost sales at all? :P

The Siroccan Press are easy... they're more interested in stories like 'My wife gave birth to a platypus!' and that kind of thing than what the government is doing.

These nodes that children get. They allow them to see the extent of knowledge... but surely there's certain things that caring parents wouldn't want them to know about at such an age.
Pilon
17-09-2003, 18:44
Pilon has no tabloids and false headlines are unthinkable. The purpose of the media is to spread information to the genreal populace not to make money. Like most things in Pilon the Media provides a service.
Pilon does not restrict any information and parents have little say over what their children learn, they find nothing wrong with learning.
Sirocco
17-09-2003, 18:57
So if all of a child's education is through these nodes, how do they get the experience they need for jobs? What about PE? There's a lot more to that than knowledge.
Pilon
17-09-2003, 19:04
Their knowledge comes fromthe Nodes, so they are free to spend their time growing up aquiring experiances instead of sitting in a classroom doing bookwork.
Sirocco
17-09-2003, 23:03
Ah. But knowledge of things like bomb manufacture is an incentive to criminal activities, and denying them such knowledge could be deemed against their human rights!
17-09-2003, 23:20
.....Mind-Boggling.....Great job though.
Pilon

In particular the Saturn Colonies and the Mercury Colony were destroyed.

*Sigh*
Must I reiterate again?
We had only positioned our forces against you when you landed on Saturn, and told you to leave.
We did not fire a single shot, and yet you went on about us blowing up your colony.

I repeat, we didn't destroy your Saturn colony, we didn't fire a single shot there.

We were not naming names. This is our history and we are free to edit and omit the details as we please. We really don't want to get into that argument with you, it was a simple matter of miscommunication and we have moved on. No harm done...
