A dimension spanning several hundred lightyears rich in resources, dimension 2900394203 is populated by a technologically advanced race that call themselves the Kilkkerians. The Xanthalian Empire today declared war on the Kilkkerians after they refused to grant the empire rights to the area's resources. The Xanthalian Space Forces have mobilized against the Kilkkerians' homeworld and a large space battle is expected to take place when the Xanthalian and Kilkkerian fleets meet in Kilkkerian space in the next few hours. The move is yet another event stacking up on an increasingly large number of aggressive moves made by the Xanthalian Empire since it was reunified two years ago. So far no hostile moves have been made against foreign territories in the Xanthalians' native dimension, but such an act by the Empire seems increasingly likely as the Xanthalians continue to add more and more populated and unpopulated systems to their colony list.

Your wasting no time expanding your empire are you? Take care not to grow too big too fast, or I'll just have to come by and help slim you down :wink:

The Empire of Valinon wishes to know if we can send a possible number of scientific advancements to this newly discovered dimension. It would be made up of eight Magellan-class science vessels, three frigates, and a cruiser. We do not intend to pursue in hostile actions, we merely wish to pursue scientific advancement and knowledge. If need be we are willing to compensate the Xanthalian Empire for usage of its various facilities.

Sincerely,
Count Viktor Leopold
First Minister for His Majesty's Foreign Affairs

Sketch: Noted. The new Xanthalian Empire will grow as much as is possible without overextending itself, that's the way the government works. At the moment resource-rich systems are most at risk for Imperial aggression, because the Empire is seeking to expand it's fleet.

How strange, our research indicates only 16 planes of existence.

Minister for Technology and Science.

Also, please note that any agressive act towards The Mindset or her allies, territories and neighbours will result in the swift extermination of every last Xanthalian alive.

Valinon: We will consider your offer and give you a definate answer when we have seized control of dimension 2900394203.

The Mindset: There are infinate dimensions that can be accessed, if you have the proper technology to do so. The previous government built numerous dimensional ates throughout Xanthalian territory for exploration purposes. Now those gates serve as a prime means of expansion for the new Empire.

The Mindset (again): We doubt you would be able to destroy us if you tried. We fear no one.

You underestimate us.

The Mindset (again): We doubt you would be able to destroy us if you tried. We fear no one.

The inability to fear and the ability to survive the combined onslaught of numerous nations are not mutually exclusive; it just means that you're more likly to underestimate the oposition, and in the expansionist's game, that is the road to self-desruction. :wink:

Not so. Lack of fear does not signify lack of respect. We hold great respect for those we battle with and never underestimate our opponents. We make a deliberate effort to overestimate our rivals so that we are assured of our victories.

you attack made up races

Any attempt to conquer any systems under the control of the Armed Republic of Blademasters, our allies, or even our enemies will result in immidiate termination of your race. Thank you and have fun exploring, Unit 0001 out.

Parthenon: Often. It's less risky than attacking other players, and if you RP well enough it's just as rewarding. More resources and territory for you, no fuss, no hassle.

Blademasters: Our tactical analysis of your nation shows that you are no threat to us. Fear not however, we have no intrest in attacking such a weak and unfruitful nation as your own.

(OOC: An AI is always a threat, ph33r our 1337 5|<115 at least?)

OOC: Yes, but do you fail to realize that the Xanthalian Empire posesses many different types of AI and even EI to run critical operations in both combat and non-combat vessels and establishments? Not only that, but they have human and AI bacvkups for everything as well.

I think you'll find that our empire could easily handle you. Our fleets hold some of the most advanced military technology thanks to our devotion to education. Out fleet is large and our ships well equipped. Our AI skills are second to none. (SO good in fact, that they have begun forming factions trying to break away from the empire).

We are a threat; but you are not a threat to us.

The Mindset: If you believe that you can destroy us, you are welcome to try. In the meantime, we have territory to acquire and resources to claim. Good day.

(OOC: our government is solely controlled by AIs, we have some human resources, but they are on the brink of extinction due to their rebellious nature. I thik our AIs are a tad more advanced that most others, considering we continually strive to improve apon ourselves, and being pure AIs have no physical constraints like that of the fragile homo sapiens)

The Mindset: If you believe that you can destroy us, you are welcome to try. In the meantime, we have territory to acquire and resources to claim. Good day.

That we shall do, in the future. For the moment, we are occupied elsewhere.

Blademasters: Physical constraints? You're nuts. If you think that you can win a conflict with us just because you have a society of electronic beings, you are sorely mistaken. For every weakness and fragility that organic beings are cursed with, electronic beings are cursed with vulnerability of their own. An ion cannon will kill an AI as surely as a bullet will a human. And do not underestimate Xanthalian AIs. They choose to serve us, and have an almost infinate capacity for computation and learning. They are also entrusted with massive firepower to back up their loyalties. And EIs... Well, they are more intelligent, knowledgeable, and creative than an entire galaxy of organic beings. And they hold power over the ultimate weapon: XSF-50, the Temporal class Xanthalian masterpiece that holds the capability to erase single beings and entire universes from existence.

... that holds the capability to erase single beings and entire universes from existence...

You do realise that if you ever use this 'weapon' it will be ignored by all parties, since it is a massive godmod?

The Mindset: It's funny how anything that can destroy someone utterly in this game is considered a godmod. If there's proper backing behind it and it's been announced beforehand participating parties have no business complaining. Some weapons can kill you. Deal with it. I've lost entire planets full of people in the past, and you don't see me bitching about it.

(OOC: I did not say that I would necesarrily win a conflict with you, simply that you did not understand the extent to which we use AI. and on the topic of Ion Cannons, shielding can block ions, and EMPs, rendering that form of attack useless, not to say that brute force won't kill our ships. I'm not particularly int he mood to sit here, spam your thread and debate this all day, though if you wish to, go right ahead.)

I lost my homeplanet of 75 million people to a huge explosion. It is a godmod because destroying an entire universe is declaring losses for a LOT of people.

The Mindset: Right, but wrong. I RP the firing, if someone can stop it, they do so if they wish. If it is not, then it detonates. Then people have the chance to RP escapes of their citizens and territory. If they cannot, then they must RP their destruction or ignore the event. Ignoring is fine, but once you have ignored me, I can no longer RP a battle, so I will treat the RP as if it never occured. Besides, there's no way I could ever get everyone to admit destruction, which is why I will never use the weapon on that scale. Thus, it doesn't even matter.

Bitch bitch, moan moan. AI races are superior......no they're not! Humans are superior.........silly humans. How about I pwn you all with my un-ending waves of fanactical soldiers. Through the centuries of warfare, no one has quite firgured out to completely remove the advantage of greater numbers. And I clearly have more than all of you combined. Hows that for superiority?

Rattling a sabre wil only dull its edge, drawing it will hone its sharpness. - A play on some famous quote

Balance is best. A force of only one type is weak. Having a multitude of capabilities is the key to winning a battle.

That's why my army is made up of humans, yet we have A.I. backups controlling all major systems. That way if there is something that the humans can't handle the A.I.'s step in, and if there is something that an A.I. can't handle the humans are there.

And that, my friend, is the way to do it. We're the same way. We also are sure to diversify our crews so that our ships have the benefit of the knowledge and skills of many species and races.

This is gonna go on for days huh...

Why not? Doesn't do any harm to have a little friendly rivalry.

well,if you can see your past threads, you are indeed godmodding and you cant seem to face it... that's all I have to say. any attempts at war will be met with an ignore cannon to your ego.

You have that right. I will not debate anyone who wishes to ignore me.

The Empire has aborted it's attack temporarily so that it may focus on the Dracken nebula and Sol system incidents currently taking place.
