Earlier this month, satellite imagery of a large island to the north of Artitsa showed a considerable amount of Resources. There are several small Oil fields, and natural gas pockets. It is also assumed that the mountains contain valuable metals. However the climate is extremely cold, similar to that of Siberia. A colony is being considered to further explore this island.

Official Statement from The Proletariat Commonwealth of The Island of Rose:

Bah! I'm going to settle that as soon as this stupid blockade is over! Nobody blockades the Island of Rose! Only the Island of Rose can blockade the Island of Rose! Oy!
-President Sergei Ilyanov of The Island of Rose

The Federation of Morathania is actively considering establishing a colony on this island. More to come.

10 Oil Tankers carrying construction equipment, building materials,heavy wool clothing, regular clothing, food, water, beds, medical supplies, and other items have left Holy Paradise City Harbor for this island of riches. We wish to claim the green land east of the Eirel River, along with the oil fields and suitable farming soil.

Oh and that big marine oil field right next to my original claim, I claim that too.

Pentova would like to claim Nadhilig, and all the land around it until it reaches the gas pocket, which we would also like to claim. 5 heavy supply ships have been outfitted for the harsh environment and for building a colony, and will move out on confirmation of colonial expansion.

Pentova

i think I got the best claim.

Official Statement from The Proletariat Commonwealth of The Island of Rose:

That place with the snow and oil, we claim that. We'll settle it, as soon as the blockade is broken. So stay out of it!
-President Sergei Ilyanov of The Island of Rose

Okay my colonists have landed there. And more are coming, a lot more!

Fortestan claims the Isle of Anad and the oil field in the Bay of Bhagus. The land of Bhagus and the mountains just south of it we would like to claim as well. A colonial team with all basic necessities are on their way to the land to set up a provisional colony and set up oil platforms.

Since no one is answering my claim, and I do not wish to lose it, I am going to move there now and accept any consequences later.

Pentova

That place with the snow and oil, we claim that. We'll settle it, as soon as the blockade is broken. So stay out of it!
-President Sergei Ilyanov of The Island of Rose

The government of Fortestan respects the Rosian claims in the northern regions of the island.

My colonists are expected to arrive within the (NS) week.

P.S. We also respect Rose's claims.

ooc: There is no claiming. You land at a point and expand from there. Someone can land next to you and attack your settlement.

ic: The Artitsan expedition has landed at Bhagus. Three Korsar Frigates and 1 Asia Cruiser sit in Bhagus Bay, while the 517th Infantry setup a basecamp. The Civillian settlers are also setting up their prefabricated shelters. Wolf armoured trucks (like humvees) are being rolled off the ships, to use for exploration purposes.

ooc: I should also mention we have not released satellite images of the Island. You know it exists, but you don't know where everything is. You do not claim land, or else I would have claimed the entire island in the name of Artitsa.

OOC:Okay this will be my colony's name. It will be the one who replies in this RP.

IC:After the first ports had been set up, 5 million colonists entered the claim. The land was soon populated by Holy Paradisians. Here's an example of a advertisement from Holy Paradise Oil:

LAND!

For only price of 500 gold coins, you can sail to Holy Paradise Oil!
The colony that will fulfill all of your financial dreams!

Okay i land at the north east section of the Eirel Plains. You happy?

The settlers from Pentova heard the cry
"LAND HO!!!"
They all leaned over the sides of the ship, dangerously close to the frigid water, in an attempt to see their new homes.

The land was beautiful. The sun shone off the snow and ice like off a mirror, and they all marveled at the land. They decide to call it "Noco" in their own tongue; Land of Beauty. The ships got the closest they could to Noco, and then lowered the lifeboats and the colonists went off to begin their new lives on the island.

OOC: From now on I will be posting on here as Noco. My people are a friendly people. We do not wish for a war.

We claim the extreme south (around the Black Forest) and the islands in the southeast corner. The forest and surrounding land has been secured by the 43rd Airborne Regiment and the islands have been taken by the 92nd Royal Marine Division. They have begun construction of a deep-water port and settlers are expected to arrive within the (NS) week. The colony shall be named Nirhain, or "Frozen Beauty" in Malkyeri. We do not wish to conflict with other nations, so respect our claimed boundaries and we will respect yours.

25,000 people landed and set up Eastport City, the major port of the land. 2 Holy Paradise Army divisions began exploring the land and setting up posts.

OOC: Forget that 5 million people came. that would be nuts.

The beautiful area of Eastport City was soon replaced by an equally beautiful town of 25,000. The inhabitants began putting up a large wall around 6 miles of the area southeast of the town. Oil pumps and wells sprang up along with small farms.

We also claim the gas pocket north-west of the Black Forest. The 501st Battalion is moving to secure the field now.

OOC: If I missed it and someone already claimed that gas field, let me know and I'll delete this post.

ooc: Slow the hell down. You are all expanding way to freaking fast. You are all just setting up now, none of you have set up Oil derricks or Pumps, and have no yet reached the Gas Pocket. Your first priority will be setting up shelter, and mapping out the land. Be Realistic.

((OOC: I know how to colonize land. But this stupid blockade, bah... people, first you RP sailing, then you RP setting up for a few days, then you explore, THEN you set up the rigs.))

10,000 Pentovan turned Nocoinians arrived at the island by lifeboat, and supply ships carried in all the equipment they would need for their new lives. They founded Noco Arofu (Beautiful City) and started to work on diplomacy and exploration. They came across the Malkyerans moving towards the gas field, and they knew that there may be problems. The Nocoinians had had plans for that field, but if the Malkyerans wanted it, the Nocoinians didn't want trouble.

OOC: Should somebody start a region on NS for this?

A Division of Dresina's Glorious Army lands on the Island of Anad. 20 000 begin construction of a fortress city, while the other 5 000 reboard their transport ships to claim the opposing oil fields for Dresnia!

There is an updated map.

The three Frigates and Cruiser move, haulting these transports. The Oil Field of Bhagus is Artitsan.

OOC: Hmm...sorry about that. I guess I did move a little too fast on that gas field, but the soldiers are from airborne units, so they were able to get there pretty quick. The soldiers are equipped to live in the field; the settlers will set up towns and things like that. And having not reached the gas pocket yet, I have nothing on which to set up oil derricks.

http://mars.walagata.com/w/artitsa/New_Isle1.gif

There is an updated map.

OOC: I assume that the green country is Noco?

IC: The settlers wrote up proposals of peace with all other nations on the Island. They did not want problems.

OOC2: 1 question 1 comment.
1. Should somebody establish a region is NS game for this island?
2. The reason I got towards the gas field so fast was that in the straight by Noco, ships cross fast due to the small size of it.

OOC: Well, doesn't seem like anyone's putting too much effort into this so......

IC:

2,000 Jamaican settlers landed on the Isle of Anad, and quickly sent scouts out to, well, scout the land. They reviewed about a 30 mile radius, and once they gave the 2,000 Jamaicans aboard the ships on the coast the "ok", they poured onto the island. Heavy machines were brought out to clear the trees for future building space, but for the meantime, the 2,000 settlers made homes out of tents and makeshift shelters.

ooc: Follow my lead people. Oh and please remember, these are Siberian Weather conditions when your not in the temperate locations. White is Siberian Temperature, Green is Northern Ontario, Canada temperatures. Im not going to make a Region for this. You also have not had contact with the other settlers as of yet.

Colonization has begun slowly. There are 20,000 Soldiers, but only 4,000 Colonists. Constuction of Habitats moved slowly. Many of the Soldiers helped, but most were out exploring the country side. Many colonists worked to create a pier, where supplies could come much easier to them from the ships. Helicopters make frequent trips back and forth, but unfortunatly its usually due to sickness or frostbite or some other malady. Barley, wheat, and Tobaco farms had sprung up, along with a mill to process the wheat. Futher towards the mountains, the ground became frozen, unable to be used for proper farming. The tobaco farmers found their crops failing due to the short season, and as such switched to wheat. Some Colonists are debating whether or not to build a small makeshift runway, for aircraft. It would happen, but in time. Food is easy to come by, Bread and Water being the main choice, but beans, potatoes, carrots are all available. Meat comes in the form of Polar Bears hunted in the deeper tundra.

Word spread of other nationalities colonizing the land. Guard shelters were set up along the perimeter to make sure none sallied forth into the Artitsan area.

-=-=East of the Settlement, at Bhagus Natural Gas Field=-=-

Pvt. Ryan O'Harland stood outside of his Wolf LAV surveying the landscape. He was frozen. It must have been below -50 out. His thermal suit did nothing, he was beginning to get frostbitten. He clicked off the safety of his rifle and shot off a few rounds... yup still worked. He looked around. The place was barren and desolate. The three other Soldiers in his Fireteam were surveying the land, looking for the natural gas pocket indicated on the Satellite map. It was proving difficult to find. Ryan wanted to go back to the settlement and get some coffee, but no, he had to do extended patrol. He never should have kissed the lieutants daughter. Oh well. What a shitty place to make a settlement he thought. Well atleast he wasn't in the teams that had to explore the Southern Mountains... that would be horrible. His friend James Vustrankov was with that group... but James loved to mountain climb. Ryan sighed, and ate a piece of his nutritionbar before making his Radio checkin.

OOC: ^^^Maybe you should just make a new thread, and start it off with that post, I think it's too late to save this one.

The Nocoinians held an open elction for governor, and James Winfield won. He went straight to work on organizing a group to explore the mountains to the north 10 miles away.

ooc: Next person to post 2 sentences for an RP event is booted. If you want to move your boundries, save the picture, edit it in Paint, and upload it again.

OOC: Are you sticking with this thread? Or are you starting over?

This is the main vehicle for Colonists on the Island. The Military version can mount a 12.7mm MG, 40mm AGS, Bayonet ATGM, or 14.5mm KORD HMG.

[Proclamation of UCSNE Government]
The United City States of New Empire hereby claims the remaining Eirel temperate zone as their territory. Anyone who attempts to claim it will be met with the force of the UCS armed forces.

[55th Airborne, "Thunder Children"]

The mass of big, box winged cargo jets were escorted by several dozen sleek looking fighters. There were squadrons of F-133 Valkyries, along with F/A-131s for attack and EW. The aircraft were all running at full stealth and EMCON, their Athena systems engaged.

The men sat in the redlit bays of the massive C-82 'Atlas' transports. They looked like the elite troopers of a scifi movie. They were certainly elite, and their gear was certainly high tech. The 55th had swept through Markov, decimating the Markovian military in the areas around their cities and plains. They clutched a variety of futuristic looking weapons, M32, M9 rifles, grenade launchers, M280, M55, machineguns, M27 sniper rifles, and a variety of other weaponry. Enhanced optic/Lowlight/Thermal goggles sat on their helmets, along with a VHUD. They wore M110 battledress and were SLICS linked.

"STAND UP!"

"HOOK UP!"

And so it went. The hold glowed green now, as the doors opened and wind whipped the jumpmasters. The men began to jump, the entire division making the drop, along with some LAUV from cargo aircraft (Light Armored Utility Vehicle).

The men dropped into the northwest section of Eirel, setting up a perimeter.

Meanwhile, the 5th Fleet was making it's departure to the area. The fleet was a Marine group, heavily escorted. Along with that, though, a very unique weapon would be coming. The SSACVN-01 Nike would be traveling with the group in their mission to secure the rest of Eirel.

OOC: FINE!! DETAIL!!! BE THAT WAY!!! :headbang:

IC: Ivan was frozen. Even compared to Siberia this was cold. He was a member of the newly appointed Mountaineer Corp. whos job was to explore the mountains on this new island. Pentova, the motherland, had recently sent a sattilite over the area of the new island, and had found that these mountains seemed rich and bountiful. Thus, the Corp was started. Ivan was an obvious pick for the Corp, being from Russia natively, and having been a soldier stationed in Siberia, with it's vast mountain ranges and ice caps. But this was cold. He checked his wrist watch with a thermometer built in. The murcury was frozen! Ivan could hardly see due to the ice hanging from his eyebrows and eyelashes. He followed the Corp. leader onto the frozen bed of the river. They were headed north east, if they could find it. Their compasses had frozen up long ago. They were relying upon the helicopter from the motherland above them, and their radios. Suddenly Ivan heard a noise and looked back. What he saw horrified him. Even as a military veteran, he could never get over death. This was surely death. The deafening wind had blown up one of the barren trees, and it had flown, as a spear, straight through the flankers stomach. Ivan pulled his hood farther over his face, and listened to the radio.

OOC: Better? I'm sorry but I'm tired and I didn't want to do all that but oh well.

Is there any land left, as we would like to establish an earth colony.We would be able to provide free power in exchange for land.

OOC: This is open to Space tech right?

A large fleet of Cargo Ships had been sent out a few days after the settlers. It now arrived with all of it's supplies and 10,000 more colonists. The most important thing on these ships were a Pentovan variant of the humvee for the islands environment.
OOC: Specs.
All normal humvee specs and,
Spines on wheels for better grip on ice and snow
Insulated walls and floor for better heat retention
A heated engine, so as to prevent freeze ups from not enough use
Military Version has a Piton charge attachment with a 5 ton weight limit, so as to pull itself to any destination.

These vehicles were organized after being shipped in, then raced off in the direction of the Mountaineer Corp. to help on the way to the mountains.

um i already settled that land. Look at the first two pages.
Look at my post. I said northwest... You have the northeast. I am taking everything you don't have. And if you keep this up, I'm taking that too.

OOC: Ok, whatever, I'll probably be ignored throughout this RP, but I'll give it a shot anyways. I'm taking it from where I left off.

IC:


Nine days had passed by since the Jamaicans had landed on the Isle of Anan. A 10 mile area had been successfully cleared of trees and now the settlers were beginning to build on land. There were 500 Jamaican soldiers accompanying the 2,000 civilians, and they were doing most of the building. The morale of the overall population was at a medium, they had not expected the weather to be as cold as it was, being so used to tropical climates at home back in Jamaica. There main reason for being here was a limited living space in Jamaica, and they planned to make a home for themselves here. They all knew each other well, since most had lived in the same community back in Jamaica. The leader of the group was Arnold Jackson, a popular figure among the people, he had been the one to suggest the bold move of leaving Jamaica for the cold lands they were at now. He had recieved funding from the Jamaican government, and was loaned 5 cargo ships to carry people, soldiers, equipment and supplies.

This was all in agreement that he would find valuable natural resources in this new land within a five year period, be it gold, oil or even seasoning. Arnold had learned of this Island through the magic of the internet, and now he was here in person, wrapped in several layers of clothes and looking at the people below him work on their new homes from the view of a ship. So far they were making good progress and things were going much faster than expected. Once a sufficient town was set up, they'd explore the Island for resources and possibly inhabitants.

I have restarted the thread. Send me a TG or contact by AIM and I'll screen you.

OOC: How big is the Isle of Anad? I mean comparitively, about as large as Cuba, Jamaica, Puerto Rico? Because this is taking place on the northern most part.

2 Days since my last post have passed

The Humvees had came upon the Corp. earlier that morning. It was under -89 by the humvees heated thermometer. All but 4 of the Corp had perished, and only 1 was conscious. It was Ivan. He kept muttering about "Michell... Michell..." Even though it was against orders from the governor, the Rescue Team decided to ring back the survivors to the town. They could not leave them here to die. They radioed the helicopter to return to base, and left for home.

ooc: The size of Cuba. This thread is closed, start over at the other one, but check with me first.

The Scandinvans claim the land on the Eiril River on the fork and north until the coast and west until the temperate land ends.
36,000 Royal troops land from ships with 150,000 colonists also.

What don't you understand about this RP being restarted?
