Greetings,

For the sake of peace itself, we will agree to your terms for this conference. I also hope this will lead to far better relations among our two nations.

However, all aircraft pertianing to the nation of Zuhair Malik are for humanitarian and training purposes only. But, we will stop all forms of aid coming in from Zuhair Malik at 8:30 AM CST tommorrow.

As for the peace conference itself, it will be held within the Department of Commerce building at 10:00 AM CST in two NS days. Until after the conference, a temporary cease fire shall be declared, but our forces will be on high guard in-case of a surprise attack.

Since you have taken the time out of your busy schedule to attend this event, I shall attened myself.

Let us hope that the guns of war will cease to fire after this conference of peace.

OOC: Lachenburg, you have a TG from me.

IC:
Encrypted Telegram to General Bradley

You will note that within the hour, your forces will report that all bombing of Sioux City has stopped and our forces have ceased firing on your positions there. We look forward to meeing you in Des Moines and our troops in Iowa have been directed to cease all hostilities and advancement and merely "stay where they are."

We accept you word that Zuhair Malik's flights into your territory were of a humanitarian nature only, but do expect to see them cease entering your airspace as promised. Please note, however, ANY aircraft from Vineyard entering your airspace will be viewed as a betrayal and result in a vigorous renewal of hostitilities. That said, please provide us with instructions on how you wish us to proceed into Des Moines for the talks. I will be arriving on a Boeing 747 bearing clear Norleans' markings escorted by 8 of our Head Rush Fighters (who will return to Norleans once they have ensured my safe landing in Des Moines). I will have with me my top 6 Military and Economic Aides and be prepared to negotiate and ratify fully any agreement we may be able to reach.

Sincerely,
Duke, Huey P. Long, III

Sioux Falls, Iowa (Before Cease Fire)

Corpral James Fray anxiously sat in his trench, as he waited for the Sergants signal. In front of them lay one of the most fortified points in the city: The Post office.

It had been the regional HQ from the Norleian forces every since the city was attacked. Everything about battleplans, troop movements ect. was stored in there and it would be a crippling blow if the Iowians siezed.

5...4...3...2...1...GO! GO! GO!

James adreniline was boiling as he rushed out of the makeshit bunker, hundreds of his comrades following behind. Machine Guns on both sides let out a tremendous roar, as they lauched thousands of rounds across the city.

Hurdling over the concrete barrier, James squeezed the trigger on his Thompson Sub-Machine gun, discharging several rounds into some near-by enemy troops.

All around him, men were falling, both friend and foe, as they coutinued their desperate fight for survival. Several Iowains, armed with Molotov Coktails lauched them through the windows burning many of those inside.

" Come on Corproal, break that Goddamn door!"

Sergant Kelly replied, his eyes filled with bloodlust as he fire d into a column of enemy soliders. Suddenly, a slavo of bullets tore through Kelly and he slumped to the ground.

Bullets were whizing past the head of James, as he ran to the door. After kicking it twice, the hinges broke apart and James, along with several other comrades entered the Post office.

The small building was now a blaze from the Molotovs and the remianing enemy soliders scrambled for their weapons. James simple showered the room with bullets, killing the remianing soliders.

"Bill, get that flag ready. Were goin to the top."

Bill nodded to the Corproal as he rushed up the stairs. As he stuck the Iowian flag into the flag holder, the farmers and soliders cheered in triumph. Now they knew that the tide of this war had turned and Iowa just may survive.

Finally, when the Moon rose above the enblazened city, the sounds of war ceased, as peace began to take hold.

- Iowa, somewhere near the front -
"God damn it! We came here for a fight and commander is making us repair houses!" said a disgruntled soldier, mouth full of nails and hammer in hand while repairing a roof.
'Yeah, all because of some peace talks. Ahhhh. I guess we are never going to see combat, eh?"
"*Sigh* Yeah i guess not. But hell, why not make us a 500,000 strong army of CARPENTERS rather that soldiers! I SWEAR this id getting on my nerves!"

-Near Des Moines- Gen. Marko Komesar chewed on a fat cigar while viewing a map with his Zuhair Malikian underlings.
"Ok, the Vineyardian beserkers set up a training camp on the south side of the city. We got planes coming in daily with supplies, food, and oil. And for now, we got 400,000 troops strung along a line a mile back from where the gurilla soldiers are stationed. 50,000 troops are in reserve, and the other 50,000 are assisting the Gurilla fighters. All we need is this sadly peaceful agreement to fragment, then we will halt their forces and break the spine of their attack!"

"I think we need an excuse to fly our planes over Iowa, as the Norleans nation is getting vexed!'
"Well, Sgt. We already have the reserve troops Fixing houses damaged by the war, ect! What else do we need?"
"Nothing, my lord. it was my mistake to question you." The Sgt. said, scurring back then bowing.

OOC: basically, i have some troops doing humanitarian. Also, i have a training camp set up, and the distribution of kalashnikovs is going smoothly.

OOC:

1) I am ignoring the presence of any Vineyardian troops in Iowa, they are not there as far as I'm concerned and anything they claim to do will be ignored - ANY Vineyardian plane flying into the area would have been attacked. If they came in on Zuhair Malik planes, please see my next comment.

2) The claim that there are 500,000 of Zuhair Malik's troops in Iowa is a god mod of the worst kind. If you will go back over the posts of the Iowa conflict, you'll see that all this has taken place over, at max, 3 days, NS time. At the rate of 500 men per Airbus, that means 1,000 flights over 72 hours which means 13.888888888888888888888888888 planes PER HOUR ON A 24/7 BASIS Since, per the master list, these planes had to come from Bulgaria or Macedonia, there is a minimum of a 6 hour time difference, meaning that at any given time, Zuhair Malik had to have a minimum of 79 Airbuses in the air with another 14 taking off from Macedonia or Bulgaria every hour. If you add in the fact that some of the planes had to come back from Iowa, this potentially doubles the aircraft in the air to 158 at any given time. This is a total God Mod of the worst kind.

3) The "one puppet rule" currently in force prohibits support of the type that is being Godmodded here by Vineyard - If this stands then accept that Mauiwowee has 1,000,000 men in Missourri and Nebraska ready to lend support - Got it? OK, good.

4) I'll recognized 50,000 of Zuhair Malik's troops in Iowa, and I think that is more than generous and fair, particularly since Lachenburg agreed to halt all flights into the area by your guys and send your stuff back.

That said:

IC:

The 747 landed in Des Moines without incident. Duke Long, his advisors and 10 of his Cajun Elite Guard exited the plane and made their way to the waiting Limos. The Head Rush escort squadron made a final flyover and began their return flight to Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Before leaving his plane, Duke Long activiated the emergency signal implanted under the skin in his left armpit. A hard squeeze of his arm or a push on the right spot of his armpit and 1,000+ planes would launch a merciless bombing run on his location, including nukes if need be. Looking at his latest report from his Generals in Nebraska and noting the set back in Sioux City, he cursed under his breath. "This had better work" he thought to himself.

Entering the waiting Limo, Duke Long said to the driver, "let the General know we're here and want to start the talks ASAP. Let him also know, we're wasting our time if forces from Zuhair Malik are present and finally, let him know, I have no problem with a secure, closed door meeting between he and I, but secure, private communication with my advisors and my second-in-command in New Orleans must be available at all times. And don't give me the shit you're just a limo driver, if you were "just a limo driver" you wouldn't be here, this is too important and too sensitive to send a glorified taxi hack."

President Rand Veristek groaned as he read the sit-rep's scrolling across his console screen.

Things aren't going well, despite the annexation efforts in Latin America.

Suddenly, the console beeped and text exploded onto the screen, reading "DELTA Level Information" as Rand closed his eyes in an attempt to clear his mind. Rand's eyes suddenly flew open, and he began inputting code sequences to enable him to view the quad-encrypted DELTA message.

"Zuhair Malik forces sighted in Iowa.

Norleans efforts bogged down due to gurriella actions by the Iowa government.

Cease Fire is in effect between Norleans and Iowa."

Rand smiled as he read the information. Machinations, plots, and an intricate chess game began playing out in Rand's calculating mind.

Zuhair Malik. He will be the key to my next move. His actions, along with the Iowa military has put Norleans in a difficult position. This grants me the chance to acquire the Dakotas.

Or, perhaps I could send in forces to attack Iowa and catch them with their pants down. Afterwards, I shall grant Iowa to Norleans, and perhaps South Dakota to induce them into aiding in a battle aganist Kormanthor.

One course of action demands a unprovoked declaration of war, yet the other would provide less incentive for Norleans aid in the upcoming Kormanthor war.

Perhaps... I see it now.

Attack the Dakotas, then open up a two front war aganist Iowa from South Dakota and our Nebraska bases under the Norleans Treaty. With the influx of new troops, Iowa does not stand a chance, and perhaps it will draw Zuhair Malik into warfare.

By then, my South Army will have finished destroying all major combatants in Latin America.

This is the course that must be taken.

Rand nodded once, then issued two commands through the console.

===========================
ORDER 1: Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho forces.

Deploy 600,000 troops aganist the Dakotas.

Use the Kongabac III Ultra-Heavy bombers.

Employ the newly produced Head Rush jets.

=============================
ORDER 2: Nebraska Bases.

Bring our bases in Nebraska to full alert.

Prepare the bases to begin launching Kongabac III bombing missions into Iowa, escored by Phoenix Air-Superiority fighters.

Take extreme care not to target Norleans troops and encampments.

==============================

Several hours later, dozens of Kongabac III bombers, double the size of a C-7 Galaxy Plane with six dual turbo-jet engines, and over a million pounds of explosives, took off from airfields in North Nebraska and Montana on vectors headed straight into Iowa and the Dakotas.

The third war in North America has begun.

IC:

Dear President Veristek:

I've noticed that you have place your forces in Nebraska on alert and flights, seemingly headed to the Dakotas and Iowa under underway. First let me state we have no problem, as per our treaty, with your activating your forces in Nebraska. However, you should be aware that Duke Long is in Des Moines, Iowa negotiating a peace treaty at this time, a treaty he hopes to make similar to our treaty as it regards Nebraska and Colorado, only the new treaty will similarly affect Nebraska and Iowa. Once that is accomplished, he plans to bring pressure to bear to include you in the agreement so that we all share a "strip" across North America in the form of Colorado, Nebraska and Iowa. You should also note he has significant plans to finalize a conquest of Missourri and Illinois giving us access up the Mississippi River and into the Great Lakes. We certainly agree with any plan to take the Dakota's however and would join with you in a conquest of Canada if you have that in mind. Please also note, however, we are in an ongoing attempt to conquer the American Virgin Islands and provide more protection to your and our holdings in the Gulf of Mexico, our related off shore oil platforms and the Carribean via this action. I may have revealed more than I should have, but as an ally, I felt it best you fully understand what the Duke is up to. I can relay a message to him in Des Moines if need be.

Sincerely,
Lady Firebrahnd Long,
Duchess, and acting ruler,
The Cajun Duchy & Empire of Norleans

- The nation of Vineyard Accepts all of the following clauses, yet wishes to add yet another one:

7) The nations under the FOAM alliance shall NOT send ANy type of naval WAR vessel into the following oceans:
- The Medteranian
- The Persian Gulf
- The Black Sea
The reasons of non-military entry by the nations of FOAM to the listed oceans is due in part because the nation of Vineyard feels that FOAM may carry out offencive and agressive actions against the NATION OF VINEYARD as they have done in the past. If such a war would break out, the nation of Vineyard would be subjagated to an only-defencive war, one which the nation of Vineyard could never win. The FOAMS could attack but fail, only to fall back under the protection of the treaty to lick their wounds and prepare and create another larger force. For those reasons, the nations under the hostile FOAM alliance shall NOT send ANY type of war vessel into the listed seas. Civilian tradiing vesseles are allowed, as long as Vineyardian inspectors can search the holds of the ships to ensure that troops are not in them.

MILITARY PRESSBULLETIN

In order to help the peace talks, Warta Endor retreats 150000 of its Marines which were stationed on Sachalin. Also the 450000 men who were wounded in the Sachalin desaster will retrun home for a R&R and retraining. For information we publice for the first timethe total of Warta Endorean Ground forces:
1200000 in South-East Russia and Korea with 4800 T-90 and 200 Leopard 2A6

1) I am ignoring the presence of any Vineyardian troops in Iowa, they are not there as far as I'm concerned and anything they claim to do will be ignored - ANY Vineyardian plane flying into the area would have been attacked. If they came in on Zuhair Malik planes, please see my next comment.

2) The claim that there are 500,000 of Zuhair Malik's troops in Iowa is a god mod of the worst kind. If you will go back over the posts of the Iowa conflict, you'll see that all this has taken place over, at max, 3 days, NS time. At the rate of 500 men per Airbus, that means 1,000 flights over 72 hours which means 13.888888888888888888888888888 planes PER HOUR ON A 24/7 BASIS Since, per the master list, these planes had to come from Bulgaria or Macedonia, there is a minimum of a 6 hour time difference, meaning that at any given time, Zuhair Malik had to have a minimum of 79 Airbuses in the air with another 14 taking off from Macedonia or Bulgaria every hour. If you add in the fact that some of the planes had to come back from Iowa, this potentially doubles the aircraft in the air to 158 at any given time. This is a total God Mod of the worst kind.

3) The "one puppet rule" currently in force prohibits support of the type that is being Godmodded here by Vineyard - If this stands then accept that Mauiwowee has 1,000,000 men in Missourri and Nebraska ready to lend support - Got it? OK, good.

4) I'll recognized 50,000 of Zuhair Malik's troops in Iowa, and I think that is more than generous and fair, particularly since Lachenburg agreed to halt all flights into the area by your guys and send your stuff back.

That said:

IC:

The 747 landed in Des Moines without incident. Duke Long, his advisors and 10 of his Cajun Elite Guard exited the plane and made their way to the waiting Limos. The Head Rush escort squadron made a final flyover and began their return flight to Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Before leaving his plane, Duke Long activiated the emergency signal implanted under the skin in his left armpit. A hard squeeze of his arm or a push on the right spot of his armpit and 1,000+ planes would launch a merciless bombing run on his location, including nukes if need be. Looking at his latest report from his Generals in Nebraska and noting the set back in Sioux City, he cursed under his breath. "This had better work" he thought to himself.

Entering the waiting Limo, Duke Long said to the driver, "let the General know we're here and want to start the talks ASAP. Let him also know, we're wasting our time if forces from Zuhair Malik are present and finally, let him know, I have no problem with a secure, closed door meeting between he and I, but secure, private communication with my advisors and my second-in-command in New Orleans must be available at all times. And don't give me the shit you're just a limo driver, if you were "just a limo driver" you wouldn't be here, this is too important and too sensitive to send a glorified taxi hack."



General Bradley now paitently waited in the Chamber of Commerce, his aides quietly talking in the seats beside him. The General was filled with a sense of jubilance, now that he knew this terrible war was coming to an end.

Just as Bradley reached over to grasp the pitcher, filled with cool Iowian Lemonade, the door suddenly creaked open and a rather bulky farmer, dressed in worn fatigues entered the room.

"Sir, the Duke of Norleans has touched down and will be here in moments."

Bradley took another swig of lemonade and let the icy cool liquid flow down his throat.

"Excellent, I want every security measure put into place. Let us make the Duke feel more welcome in this conference of ours. Also, no forces of Zuhair Malik are to be present at this conference."

" Yes, Sir!"

The solider immedeatley left the room, leaving Bradley and his aides alone to wait in the large, well-lighted room.

1). Vineyard is NUTURAL, i repeat, NUTURAL in this conflict. His troops are training Lachenburgian troops. You can't techinically shoot his planes down, because he is nutural. His troops will not engage in any conflict what so ever.

2) Thats the glory of FLUID time baby, yeah! The Zuhair malikian troops were desginated to land before your so called 'truce' was declared. We will honor the truce for now. Anyhow, I have 600 Airbus A380 Transports. they can each carry about 700 men at one time. Don't believe me? Ask TGSR... he is the one who gave vineyard the planes to begin with! now, since you seem to like math...
- 420,000 troops can be carried in one complete flight by all of the planes in one flight.
- The other 80,000 can be easily carried the next flight, no problem.
Also, those statistics don't even reflect one airbase. I am sure that some planes can takeoff every min. and the other planes can load up while waiting. Also, i am sure that many air ports and air bases exist over the territory i control. Your uneducated accusation has been shot down, my friend!

4) I don't believe that he ordered my troops home, did he? Let me hear it from him then!

VILINUS JOURNAL: The blizzard that entered Lithuania yesterday is expected to leave the baltic towards Russia in about a week, experts say. Vilinus has seen it's share of diseases related to the blizzard, and General Gariveu Hospital has reported almost 500 cases of pneumonia. Currently there have been 13 reported casualties.

"The most we can do now is give our condolences to the families affected and attempt to distribute the vaccine as effectively as possible." said Jousef Myamir, Chief of Health in Lithuania. "Rest assured that we will begin stockpiling the vaccine in order to prevent this from recurring."

If you believe you have Pneumonia, please go to your local clinic and pick up an information packet. Symptoms are printed in English, Arabic and Lithuanian for your convenience. IF diagnosed, expect to recieve at least a week's home recuperation period and lots of fluids. Fever reducers may also alleviate the pain."

To mee it looks like you have made it again Vineyard. you now have made it officially: Zuhair Malik is a puppet of yours!

OOC: The South Georgia and Sandwich islands are located in the southern part of the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 1,000 km east of the Falkland Islands. It has been under Kopparbergs’ control since I began with Earth V, but I have never RP’d with them.

IC:
A large military buildup has begun on the South Georgia Island. A huge navy base is under construction in the ”capital” Grytviken.

Ships are going constantly between Comodoro Rivadavia, in the southern part of Argentina, and Grytviken. Also, an airfield is planned outside Grytviken, but the construction may be problematic due to the mountainous landscape.

Until now, the military presence on the island has been restricted to a couple of patrol boats located in Grytviken. The island is known for its good fishing. Also, a scientist stations is located on the island.

To mee it looks like you have made it again Vineyard. you now have made it officially: Zuhair Malik is a puppet of yours!

Dear President Veristek:

I've noticed that you have place your forces in Nebraska on alert and flights, seemingly headed to the Dakotas and Iowa under underway. First let me state we have no problem, as per our treaty, with your activating your forces in Nebraska. However, you should be aware that Duke Long is in Des Moines, Iowa negotiating a peace treaty at this time, a treaty he hopes to make similar to our treaty as it regards Nebraska and Colorado, only the new treaty will similarly affect Nebraska and Iowa. Once that is accomplished, he plans to bring pressure to bear to include you in the agreement so that we all share a "strip" across North America in the form of Colorado, Nebraska and Iowa. You should also note he has significant plans to finalize a conquest of Missourri and Illinois giving us access up the Mississippi River and into the Great Lakes. We certainly agree with any plan to take the Dakota's however and would join with you in a conquest of Canada if you have that in mind. Please also note, however, we are in an ongoing attempt to conquer the American Virgin Islands and provide more protection to your and our holdings in the Gulf of Mexico, our related off shore oil platforms and the Carribean via this action. I may have revealed more than I should have, but as an ally, I felt it best you fully understand what the Duke is up to. I can relay a message to him in Des Moines if need be.

Sincerely,
Lady Firebrahnd Long,
Duchess, and acting ruler,
The Cajun Duchy & Empire of Norleans

Rand read the encrypted tranmission from Norleans and his eyebrows knit in thought, as he called up his second console displaying current Sharina military deployments.

The pieces are falling into place.

Rand took a bite from his favorite turkey and cheese sub before hammering out his planned response to the Duchess of Norleans. Just as he took another bite of the juicy and succlent sandwich, the first console flashed the DELTA message once again. Several deft taps, and the DELTA dissolved into encrypted text, then the text dissolved into readable text.

"South Army liquidated virtually all major resistance in El Salvador. Half of Honduras has been conquered, with gurriellas and last hold-outs remaining in the southern half of Honduras. Campaigns are continuing in Nicaruga, mainly around the capital city of Managu, its suburbs, and several major cities in Central Nicaruga.

Estimated full-annexation of El Salvador within several days.

Estimated full-annexation of Honduras within two weeks.

Estimated full-annexation of Nicaruga within three to four weeks."

Rand registered the information inside his mind, then began forumulating the next stages of planning, as if he was a super-computer and an oracle rolled into one. He took another bite of his sandwich before sending the communique to Norleans.

Encrypted Comminque to Norleans

Greetings, friend Duchess.

I am going to order my bombers and forces to avoid all Norleans and Lachenburg forces. Any Zuhair Malik forces will be engaged, as I do not desire any Vineyard allies in North America. That alone is unthinkable.

I am willing to accept another friend in North America. Any attack on Norleans and Lachenberg forces in Iowa will be met with force from Sharina.

I have been considering this for quite a while. I am willing to grant you South Dakota in return for assistance in Canada when the time comes. In addition, I am ordering my Atlantic Fleet to lend support to your blockade and control of the Gulf of Mexico.

As you may already know, my campaign in Latin America may be drawing to a close within a couple of weeks. Once the campaigns have been completed, I will be able to send that portion of the Atlantic Fleet to aid you in your efforts in the Caribbean Sea.

Intelligence believes that Vineyard is building ships in Jamaica, and that is unacceptable. I am prepared to take over Jamaica, and grant you the right to use ports, resupply, and repair facilities in Jamaica. The island will be a great boon to naval strength in the Caribbean Sea.

Hopefully by eliminating the threats in Canada and the Caribbean, our place in North America will be assured, along with Fodmodatmol. We must present a united front aganist the growing power of Europe and Asia.

Live well and prosper,
President Rand Veristek

[i]IT IS THEREFORE AGREED BY ALL SIGNATORY NATIONS:

1. The Nation of Vineyard shall, within the 24 hours next following ratification of this treaty by itself, Mauiwowee, Warta Endor and Karond Kar, begin the withdrawal of all troops, advisors, equipment and other military personnel from South East Russia.

2. Mauiwowee and Warta Endor shall likewise withdraw all military personnel, equipment, advisors, supplies, etc. from South East and North East Russia. Provided that such military personnel, equipment, etc. as are granted permission to remain by Karond Kar and Tenebricous in these areas shall be exempt from a requirement of withdrawal.

3. Vineyard will officially recognize the nation of Karond Kar as having a full right of rule and control over South Korea, North Korea and South East Russia as shall Mauiwowee and Warta Endor.

4. Attached to this treaty and made a complete part hereof is a map. The areas reflected in dark blue on said map are deemed to be under the control of FOAM (the Full Oceanic Allied Military) and shall be off limits to all Vineyardian military naval vessels and aircraft unless present pursuant to a specific invitation from a member of FOAM or a non-FOAM member whose territory shares coastal waters with FOAM members (such as, at the time of this treaty's preparation, Chile', Peru and Antartica). Vineyard shall refrain from sending military naval vessels or aircraft into this area, unless it is done pursuant to a specific invitation and a failure to abide by this term shall be deemed a hostile act on Vineyard's part.

5. All hostilities between Vineyard, Warta Endor, Mauiwowee and Karond Kar shall be deemed to be at an end as of the signing of this treaty and all declarations of war shall be recisinded.

6. Within 24 hours of Vineyard's withdrawal from South East Russia, all POW's held by any signatory country to this treaty shall be released, unharmed, to the official representatives of their respective nations and governments.

The Premier of Tenebricosis has issued a press release in response to the proposed treaty. Tenebricosis demands that it be required to sign the treaty before Vineyard's troops are withdrawn due to the fact that many of Mauiwowee's military forces were based in Tenebri territory. However, Tenebricosis refuses to sign the treaty until the following modifications are made:

1: Require signature of Pr. Dreft.

2: Acceptable.

3: South East Russia will be annexed by Tenebricosis. This parcel of land is too large and valuable for Karond Kar's "government" to possess. Such would be comparable to granting control of all the Middle East to former US president Bush. Any nation who is governed by a CEO cannot be trusted with such a large portion of the world's remaining fuel supply. Furthermore, this land was once owned by Tenebricosis's predecessors, and as such is rightfully ours.

4: All water within 300 miles from the oceanic coastline of Tenebricosis is NOT under the jurisdiction of FOAM unless its members agree to financially support the recently proposed Tenebri Space Program.

5: Acceptable.

6: Acceptable.

Refusal to comply with these proposed modifications will be considered a hostile gesture towards the UFSR.

In King 'Lude's office in the Palace

King 'Lude read the message from Tenebricosis again and pounded his desk in frutration. "Fuck!!! all that hard work and expense is about to blow up in our face. What the hell is Tenebricosis thinking, why the sudden demand that he have control of South East Russia?"

"Excuse me sire" said General Jack T. Ripper, Mauwiwoee's chief military officer and advisor to the king "He's a fuckin' Ruskie, what do you expect? I've told you before you can't trust 'em."

"Thanks for your brilliant insight General." Said the king in a tone dripping with sarcasm, "That, however, does not solve the problem. And look at this, Vineyard is now apparently in agreement with Tenebricosis's demand that he be seized of South East Russia and seemingly ready to renege on the deal. And what's all this shit about funding the space program and staying out of the Medditerranean and Persian Gulf and stuff? Why can't stuff be simple, why do people have to go and muck about with things?"

"What about declaring war on Tenebricosis?" asked the General "I mean we've got 2.5 million men there, already in his country, armed and ready for a fight."

"General, the people of tired of war, after the War for the Islands, the huge mobilization for this war, a nuke in the Marshall Islands. Enough is enough I don't believe the people would stand for it. Besides, Tenebricosis could launch a respectable counter attack and isn't some jacked up, arrogant little prick of a country like Vineyard. He has the muscle to fight us man to man and possibly more. No, I'm not going to risk a full blown war with Tenebricosis at this time. There has to be a diplomatic solution, give me chance to think. Frankly, I don't give a damn who controls South East Russia as long as we're rid of Vineyard. Hmm, I wonder what Warta Endor and Karond Kar's positions are going to be on these sudden demands from Tenebricosis?"

"I don't know sire, but it seems clear to me that he misunderstands the purpose of FOAM and he is clearly more than just a little grandiose in his claim over FOAM control of the Northern Pacific and he right to control 300 miles or so out from his coast line."

"I know, why the hell should he care about that issue. FOAM is just set up to patrol and control the Pacific so all our nations will be safe from hostile crap like Vineyard tried to pull when he sent the 150,000+ soldiers here. Hell, you'd think Tenebricosis would join FOAM and recognize the benefit he'll receive from it. That's gets us back to South East Russia though. Crap, my headaches - General, hand me that bong overthere and get me a Mountain Dew from the ice box, I need to think a second more."

"Your Highness" continued the General as he walked across the room to a small icebox sitting on a bar, "Surely you aren't concerned about Vineyard are you? Why should we give a damn about his thoughts. He agreed to leave and recognize Karond Kar. If he doesn't he is in breach of our deal. If he does, according to Tenebricosis it will be viewed as a hostile act on his part and Tenebricosis may just finish the job of taking him out for us."

"I don't think it will work that way general" said the king, "but I'll consider it" ::: taking a bong hit and then opening his drink as the General sat back down :::

Thinking for a moment, the King turned to his keyboard and hastily typed three messages. Printing them off he handed them to General Ripper "I'm going to send these" said the king.

::: Encrypted Message to Karond Karr and Warta Endor :::

Dear Sirs:
You have by now no doubt read the message sent by Tenebricosis regarding the proposed South East Russia conflict treaty with Vineyard and Vineyard's statement in regards to it. Please find attached a copy of the messages we are transmitting on our behalf (and our behalf alone, not on behalf of yourselves or FOAM). We would like, however, to know your position on the matter as quickly as possible. We do not feel that war with Tenebricosis is in the best interests of FOAM though and take the position that bringing Tenebricosis into FOAM would be to our advantage.

Sincerely,
His Royal Highness,
King 'Lude Valeeum Narcosis II
Mauiwowee


::: Encrypted Message to Vineyard :::

Dear Sirs:
We don't give a damn what you think about Tenebricosis's position on the treaty. As the party to this war who has surrendered and and agreed to withdraw and renounce his claims, you have no say in the matter of who shall in fact take over and rule South East Russia.

As for your additional terms to the originally proposed treaty. Since not all member nations of FOAM participated in the war, they cannot be bound by your terms regarding naval activity in the Persian Gulf, Medditerranean, etc. Only those signing the final version shall be bound by it's terms in that regard. Note also that under the originally proposed terms of the treaty, only your military vessels are barred from the Pacific. Your commercial vessels such as tankers, cruise ships and the like are still welcome to sail the Pacific, it is a military presence by you that will not be tolerated.

That said, Mauiwowee has no problem with reciprocal terms for its ships in the bodies of water you named in your proposal. However, we and our allies with deal with Tenebricosis's claim to South East Russia, you have no say in the matter.

With All Due Respect,
His Royal Highness,
King 'Lude Valeeum Narcosis II

cc: Premier Dreft, Tenebricosis


::: Encrypted Message to Tenebricosis :::

Dear Premier Dreft:

We read with some shock and dismay your communication regarding the treaty with Vineyard that was being proposed to end the conflict in South East Russia. You were fully aware that the purpose of the war was to oust Vineyard from that territory for the benefit of Karond Kar. To suddenly demand, once we have successfully done so that you be recognized as the owner of the territory, without having stated that position up front, is in our royal opinion, political blackmail and/or backstabbing of the worst kind. We recognize and thank you for the opportunity to use your territory in North East Russia as a staging area for our troops and acknowledge that without such cooperation on your part, the war would likely have lasted significantly longer and involved a much higher loss of life by all concerned. However, you now seem to be taking advantage of the situation in a matter that is most unbecoming to a nation of your stature and a person of your capabilities. It may be that Karond Karr is as unfit to rule as you say, but maybe he is not and until he proves himself unworthy, I feel it is pretentious to say so and to compare him to George W. Bush. That said, Mauiwowee is prepared to recognize that you have made a competing claim to South East Russia, but would suggest that matter of who should ultimately control the territory is a matter to be worked out between you and Karond Karr at a later date and should not be a factor in getting rid of Vineyard now. We do, however, welcome your signature on a final treaty ending the conflict.
Secondly, you seem to misunderstand the purpose of FOAM and we would invite you to join the Full Oceanic Allied Military. FOAM nations are pledged to preserve the peace in the Pacific Region and to come to the aid of each other when threatened by hostile actions by persons such as Vineyard. We certainly do not claim to control the ocean area you have referenced in your message in such as manner as to interfere with your military or commercial interests therein. The map attached to the treaty proposal only shows the extent of the world's oceans that FOAM has an interest in keeping Vineyard (and other war like nations for that matter) out of and where hostile action against a FOAM nation by a non-FOAM nation runs the risk of military reprisal. Again, please consider joining FOAM. I believe it would benefit you as well as the other FOAM nations.
Third, and last, we have no doubt that we and other FOAM nations would gladly be willing to assist in funding a space program in return for a proporionate share of the benefits of such a program. However, a demand that we participate in such a program has no place in the treaty to end the conflict in South East Russia. Rather, that is a matter of commercial trade and interest that should be taken up in trade negotiations. Mauiwowee would certainly be open to the idea of assisting in the program with funding and personnel and would welcome talks with you on the issue.

Premier Dreft, I would ask that you please consider the matters set out in this letter. We have no wish to engage in a conflict with you. We only wish swift resolution to the current conflict and the removal of Vineyard from this region of the world.

Respectfully,
His Royal Highness,
King 'Lude Valeeum Narcosis II
The Royal Empire of Mauiwowee

"I like it" said General Ripper. "It puts the ball back in their court and simultaneously tells Vineyard to fuck off - something I'm always in favor of." continued the general, smiling "Sending a copy of Vineyard's letter to Tenebricosis was a good idea too."

"OK, General" said the King "Let's see what happens now." With that the king hit a few more keys on his keyboard and the encrypted messages were away.

Duke Long exited the Limo with his entourage' and entered the commerce building. Telling the Cajun Guard to remain at the entrance way, Duke Long and his ministers and personal attache' we directed to smartly outfitted room where General Bradley waited. Stretching out his arm, the Duke shook hands with the General. It was a firm, business like handshake, the handshake of a man who knew his business, but could be trusted in what he said.

"General Bradley, it is a pleasure to finally meet with you. If you have a room where my ministers could wait, perhaps it would be best if just you and I spoke in private to get things started.

I assume you've read the copy of the Norleans/Sharina treaty and I'd like your reactions to that as well as any proposals you have."

Duke Long sat down in the plush Leather chair that was cleared "marked" for him and waited.

"Hmm, he doesn't beat around the bush." thought General Bradley to himself as he sized up Duke Long and readied his response.

***************************************
Encrypted Message to Sharina


Dear President Veristek:

Thank you for your quick reply. I have no doubt that the Duke will appreciate your plans and your offer of assistance in the Caribbean is welcome. You might note that Woody the Woodpecker now officially controls Jamaica, though we have every reason to believe that it is merely a puppet regime set up by and under the control of Vineyard and removing him from this area of the world, as Mauiwowee and Warta Endor have apparently done in South East Russia is a goal we share with you. Thank you also for your explanation regarding your plans for the Dakotas. I will suggest to the Duke that once a treaty ending the hostilities in Iowa has been entered that the troops assigned there be moved towards South Dakota to assist in securing that state and it's southern border.

With Gratitude,
Lady Firebrahnd Long,
Duchess, and acting ruler,
The Cajun Duchy & Empire of Norleans

Norleans dosent look like a noob to me.

OOC: Thanks :)

Gen. Lao:"God Fucking Damn!!!!!!!!!! I thought this war was over, now Tenebricosis wants to control South-East Russia!!!"
lt. Jang:"Yeah, we could expect it. What should we do? If we give in, the entire war was useless! Than all those good soldiers are dead for nothing!"
Adm. Cranach:"I agree, this is unacceptable. He wants control of 300 miles !!! That's absolutly unacceptable. But in one thing I do agree: Karond Kar has done almost nothing to get South-East Russia. Mauiwowee and we, especially we, did all the hard work and have paid heavy for this!"
Gen. Lao:"Yes, the nation is tired of the war. We just retreated some troops. We can not send them back again."
lt. Jang:"What the hell should we do!"
Gen. Lao:"Tenbrecosis has almost the same right to claim South-East Russia as karond Kar, they both didn't do a thing!"

***TELEGRAM TO MAUIWOWEE***

I simply do not know what too do. We can't expect much from Karond Kar as he didn't do much to takeover South-East Russia, he let us do all the work. The reason given by Tenebricosis is stupid, Karond Kar is as old as him. Can't be split South-East Russia in two?
And about the 300 mile border, it is absolutly unacceptable. That will give him control over the Bering Stait and the Japanese Sea. I agree with a 20 mile limit. Warta Endor is tired of this war. It needs to heal its wounds and recover of the heavy losses. Warta Endor is still able to wage war, but only for a small time.

***MILITARY HQ PRESSBULLETIN***

Warta Endor sends 500 F16I, 25000 Marines, 250000 regular troops and 350 T-90 to Warta Endorean Africa. The F16I will be retreated from Sachalin. What the reason is of this build-up in Africa is unknown.
Military HQ is woried about the recent rising of tention in South-East Russia. It calls upon Tenebricosis to drop their claims on South-East Russia and the 300 Mile area of control. Chief of Staff General Lao will hold an Press conference in an hour to discuss the war with Vineyard and the rise of tention in South-East Russia.

An hour later...

Ladies and Gentlemen, Chief of Staff, General Lao.
Gen. Lao:"Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I'm glad your all here at this press conference where we will discuss certain subjects involving war on Vineyard and other military campaigns in the recent history. Any questions?

If someone wants to ask any questions go ahead.....

---Zagreb News--- The Hervatska Army of the central Lands pulled out of South East Russsia today, amongst disputes about who gets South East Russia. As there is no Government in place, almoast all of the militia men (10,000,000) picked up their arms again and are returning home. The 2 major political parties in South East Russia, The Southern Democratic Socilist Republicain Party (all republicains are socilist) and the Northern Liberation Front are apperaing closer and closer to civil war. As the militia men are picking sides, citizens are fleeing either North-South East Russis or South-South East Russia(we need a new name for south east russia!) in anticipation of the Civil war up ahead. Some deranged reporters say that small Vineyardian commando cells are spuring the political parties to war, but those reporters should be ignored.

While all of this quarreling is going on, the grand Navy of hervatska, all 20 carrier fleets, has pulled into the Persian Gulf. 1 million of the troops stationed in Iraq and Kuwait have been put on high alert, and are told to expect deployment in the next hour.

I understand your armed forces are called "Hervatska"???

A lovely young lady rose. "General Lao - This is Fey Dobey, SidTV - It has been suggested that if Tenebricosis were to join FOAM that some of the tension still existing in South East Russia might be allievieated. What is your position on Tenebricosis's membership in FOAM? would you welcome them or oppose their membership? Why?

Well, as we have earlier said, almost anyone who wishes to join FOAM will be welcomed by Warta Endor. It's better to have a lot of friends than to have a lot, or even one, enemy. If Tenebrecosis joins FOAM alliance we would welcome them and if it also solves the South-East Russian problem, it would even be better. Any more questions?

common, someone must have questions?!?!?!?!

While all of this quarreling is going on, the grand Navy of hervatska, all 20 carrier fleets, has pulled into the Persian Gulf. 1 million of the troops stationed in Iraq and Kuwait have been put on high alert, and are told to expect deployment in the next hour.
-Military Bulliton- One Million of the troops in Iraq are scheduled to board transport craft today, bound for the country of Oman. 20 carier fleets droped anchor off of Oman's capitol city of Muscat. A series of newly devoleped planes, the X-31s, were launched off the cariers and are currently pinpoint-attacking military instilations in and around the city. The 200,000 naval marine troops are on alert and are expected to reinforce the troops comming from Iraq during the landings. Also, in the country of iraq, scientists and engineers are up to something unusual. They have begun to construst a large flat platform in Northern Iraq. Insiders are saying that it may be a launch pad for space exploration of some sort. to fund this project, the nation of Vineyard is lifting the oil embargo to sell it to other nations, after the attempt to make foriegn econemies collapse. Large amounts of Income from the oil exports is expected.

Do you got any stats for the X-31? If possible and results are good, maybe Warta Endor wants to buy a few.

OOC: Please, be more realistic. You don't move million of troops in a day or two. :)
i said they are bording their ships. not landing.

Do you got any stats for the X-31? If possible and results are good, maybe Warta Endor wants to buy a few.
You got it! I will have my factories crank out a couple hundred. I will also give you one for free... For trial and testing purposes.

http://www.freewebs.com/kkenterprisesinc/spacefightersxplanes.htm

Also, my country is already begining manufacturing of the X-36a in small numbers.

And in addition, my nation is looking for a partner in the manufacturing of the Sf-12 Sunburst types. We are building a launch pad in Northern Iraq. the plane is still in development.

ooc: Sf-12 Sunburst? on the website, i don't auctually see any pictures (besides the artists rendering). Perhaps they are still working on it?

***MILITARY HQ PRESSBULLETIN***

First of all, a happy new year!
Warta Endor will beging trials with a new plane, the X-31 provided by Vineyard. Warta Endor also will contact Vineyard for the possible purchase of 3 models of the type X-36a. If the tests are succesful, Warta Endor will start building these planes (and several conversions of the plane) in small quantaties. When the planes have proven themself in combat, Warta Endor will see if production rates will be hightened.

***TELEGRAM TO VINEYARD HQ***

We thank you at first for the providing of a model of the type X-31 without any costs. We will commence testing today. We also would like to purchase 3 models of the type X-36a for 70.5 million dollars. We would also like to buy the production rights (or a license to produce and configure the planes) of the models X-31 and X-36a. You name the price, we will consider to pay. Warta Endor is also interested in the Sunburst protorype. We have spacefacilities on the island of Bangka, near Sumatra. This may be a better place to launch spacecraft. (I learned with physics that the closer you are to the equator, the easier it is to launch into space. And Bangka is very close to the equator)

Signed, Dr. Damas, Head of Warta Endorean testing and spacefacilities.

ooc. The Sunbust prototype looks to me as prototype that they will build in the future, but its fun to devolop.

OOC: Having no defense budget really sucks, but anyway, that fighter looks soooo kewl. 'Specially the one on the right!

And in addition, my nation is looking for a partner in the manufacturing of the Sf-12 Sunburst types. We are building a launch pad in Northern Iraq. the plane is still in development.

You got it!

As close friends, we should be given the rights. Luft, our aviation contractor have have been involved in numerous project, such as the laser weapons platform on the EB-15 Arkbird. They will help.

IC: Ok, you got it! We need funds and scientists! Yay! (sorry, little too much wine!) We already have about 20 top scientists from every country we own (that would amount to 140 scientists) that specilize in Astronemy and Rocket Science. They will be developing the Sunburst along with your scientists and funds. I am currently putting 235 billion into the project. The launch pad should be state of the art, and include tight security for the research(ers). My engineers are already assembling a prototype in an undisclosed military base inside a mountain somewhere in Croatia (near the town of Ston, i believe. my GOD that place has the best seafood for hundreds of miles!).

The X-36a's will be delivered soon... as soon as the bank of Croatia suddenly grows 70.5 million! They will include instruction manuels and training manuels for the pilots training and the matinence of the plane. Also, the Gov't of vineyard will take your request of production rights into consideration. this is partly due to several generals objecting that if the production rights fall into your hands, you may be sending 'gifts' of these superior planes to your hostile allies. We will give your gov't an official answer after deliberations.

Also, the Sunburst is just being developed. We would welcome any assistance in its development in any form! if such assistance would be provided, some technology just may be shared! ;)

Also the Nation of Beltina seems to want a Sunburst, so as soon as development is finished, a sunburst will be given to their nation as a gift.

Can it be launched on our ten mile long Mass-Driver at the Hamburg Space Center?

OOC: I got Rome: Total War! Want to battle?

A twisted, yet defiant sign stood tall over a pile of rubble as explosions could be heard both close by and in the distance. The sign read "Managua, Pride of Nicara---" as the "--gua" had been blotted out by black soot and several gashes from shrapnel thrown around by one of Sharina's 10-ton Colossus artillery rounds.

Suddenly, the sign toppled over as an explosion tore through the area, scattering the rubble piles and rending several additional gashes into the twisted sign as it fell. Just as suddenly, the scene became quiet once again, before a grey metallic foot stomped down onto the ground in front of the twisted sign.

A wall of metal seemed to drop down from the sky, as a giant shield with the Sharina emblem emblazoned on it made its entrance with an audible thump. Several pitt-patter sounds could be heard as projectiles faster than the eye could concieve splattered aganist the shield, creating dents and metallic bumps across the shield.

A large projectile flew past the shield and the metallic golem behind it, and another loud explosion could be heard as a wall suddenly crumbled amid blood curdling screams. Pieces of metal, ammunition, human body parts, and shattered stone and lumber showered over the pockmarked street.

The metallic golem spoke.

"Another machine gun nest destroyed. Thanks for the save, Pra'vac."

Another golem walked up behind the first golem with the shield.

"You're welcome, sir."

Suddenly, loud pings could be heard as smalls arms fire erupted from an area several dozen meters to the west of the unfortunate ruined machine gun nest. Several metallic slugs struck a glancing blow off the chest of Pra'vac, as the golem armor absorbed or deflected the bullet rounds.

An audible thump, leaving a larger mark than the previous small arms fire, erupted on Pra'vac's partner's chest. Pra'vac suddenly set down his own shield and hoisted a large cannon onto his shoulder. Another similiar thumping sound could be heard, and a flash of light in a building to the east of the destroyed wall is seen.

Pra'vac aimed his cannon towards the small brick apartment-like building and squeezed the button at the rear half of the cannon. A whoosh erupted from the barrel's end as a large rocket round burst free of its dark prison. The rocket flew straight towards the brick building, and into a window. In the next moment, a large explosion shattered the facade of the building as the rocket charge detonated within the structure. Dozens upon dozens of bricks flew outwards, and the structure partially collapsed onto itself as the support provided by the bricks and interior walls were no longer there.

A large rifle landed three meters from Pra'vac and his partner. Pravac made his way towards the rifle and took it in his hand to inspect it.

"A sniper. Annoying little bre'wecs."

His partner sighed.

"If not for these Vadonica suits and shields, we would not be having this discussion. We would have been torn apart, made into human swiss cheese, or lost our heads literally."

Pra'vac groaned silently. He took the rifle and tied it to a strap across his shoulder where another similiar rifle was slung. He turned once again towards his partner.

"Sir, I don't understand why our entire military isn't outfitted with these marvels."

The armored golem behind Pra'vac hoisted its shield onto its right arm before walking right up next to Pra'vac, staring helmet to helmet.

"It's because these are prototypes, and we have had some trouble with our micro-hydraulics yesterday, remember? Two people in our unit are severely hospitalized after they foolishly believed that the Vadonica armor would make them immune to land mines.

Also, these suits are mighty expensive to produce. It will take a full decade before our military can be fully equipped with these suits. By then, most, if not all, bugs will be worked out."

Pra'vac was silent as he picked up his shield and slipped it onto his right arm and slung his rocket cannon across both of his shoulders. The two men then made their way carefully across the piles of rubble, and disappeared into the street behind the ruined brick building.

Deep under Singapore

Gen. Lao:"How're the preparations for operation Appletree going?"
lt. Jang:"Good sir, the Marines and Soldiers are still being transported. Intel shows us that there's little resistence to be expected."
Gen. Lao:"Well, thats not surprising. We have been over there before, they can't recover so quickly. This time, we will not retreat. How is the airforce?"
Air Marshall:"The air force is ready. The F16I from Sachalin have arrived, now we wait for personel and pilots. Intel has selected some prime targets to bomb. The boys have practised on the targets in the simulators. They're ready for everything."
Gen. Lao:"Hmmm, that's good. We start the attack when the troops arrive."
lt Jang:"I hope we will occupy the territories for good now."

ooc. I'm going to start a campaign later on, reoccupying the countries I earlier did in western Africa.

Can it be launched on our ten mile long Mass-Driver at the Hamburg Space Center?

OOC: I got Rome: Total War! Want to battle?
OOC:Hell, ya! Although i did a lot of fiddleing around with my units... i will have to reload it in order to play against you. Get all of the patches!

IC: Official telegram to Lord Vineyard
The RPLPOB graciously accepts your gift, we were also grateful for the large amount of oil you sent us. Recieving such gifts makes us all feel somewhat guilty that we cannot truly repay you, so, if you ever need something feel free to just ask us and we will see what we can do.

-A large convoy pulled out of a harbor in Antartica, moving slowly and silently. From the sea-shadows it was impossible to tell where the ships were due to the heavy fog and the darkness of the night.-

IC: The gov't of Vineyard is simply repaying the nation of Beltina for providing logistics during the Doomingsland-Vineyard war. We will be forever in your debt.

Sergeant Pra'vac laid back in a hard cot, staring at a piece of paper.

Owing to your exemplary conduct in the Battle of Managua, with four confirmed sniper kills, seven confirmed machine gun nests destroyed, and one confirmed medium tank destroyed, you have been awarded the Jade Medal of Valor.

You have also been given a promotion to Captain, as you have demostrated your resilience, valor, and sound judgement under combat conditions.

You are to report to the Commandant's office by the end of the day to recieve your new assignment.

Pra'vac neatly folded up the piece of paper and inserted it into his left uniform pocket. He stood up and began fixing up his cot for the next soldier to sleep in. Several minutes later, Pra'vac picked up his duffel bag and walked out of the makeshift barracks lodging, and made his way towards a mostly intact library building nearby.

Pra'vac took in the building with a measuring glance, as he saw dozens of tables, chairs, and trays arrayed throughout the empty library building. Several aromas of fresh food assaulted his weary nostrils, as his tongue began generating additional saliva. His stomach began rumbling quietly, as Pra'vac began to realize how hungry he was after several days of hard fighting, and being stuck with combat rations.

Pra'vac grabbed a nearby tray and then took brisk steps towards the cafetria aisle to pile up on much desired conventional cooked foods. He advanced his tray several times, as plates and heaps of food dropped onto the tray during every interval. He took a glass of a clear yellow-orange liquid and added it to his tray at the end of the cafetria aisle.

Pra'vac turned his head and spotted his former superior officer and he smirked inwardly. He made his way across the cavernous room, and sat down across from Kroz'oc.

"Hey, Kroz'oc. Guess what?"

Kroz'oc looked up from his tray, with his mouth half full of food. He simply shrugged before resuming his chewing.

Pra'vac grinned as a child who just got his most wished-for Christmas present.

"I got promoted to Captain."

Kroz'oc nearly choked on his food. He began sputtering as several pieces of food flew out of his mouth, landing across his tray.

"What the hell? YOU getting promoted?!"

"Thats right."

Kroz'oc shook his head sadly.

"What the hell is wrong with High Command, promoting egoistical soldiers who don't follow the Old Code of the Apocatequil?"

Pra'vac shrugged smugly.

"Times change."

Kroz'oc groaned before dabbling around his plate to spear the remaining portions of food. He looked up at Pra'vac once again.

"I hear rumors floating around that an offensive is brewing aganist the Dakotas, and aganist the bloated nation of Kormathor in Canada. Not only that, but there has been talk of a major offensive in Sharina Gamma."

Pra'vac arched an eyebrow while Kroz'oc began demolishing the last several remaining morsels of tan meat.

"Sharina is expanding pretty quickly. In the last decade, we have conquered Alaska, British Columbia, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Belize, Guatemala, and now Nicaruga, El Salvador, and Honduras. This is just in Sharina Alpha, this Earth. Why are we expanding so much in so little time?"

Kroz'oc swallowed his last bite before responding.

"I don't know. Look on the bright side. At least Sharina is unifying more and more lands across multiple Earth's under one banner. Even though we only occupy five Earth's at this point in time, that's more than any nation has ever done.

It appears Novaya Russia and Imperial Third Reich in Sharina Prime hasn't even discovered the Sliding Technology yet. Sharina has had this technology for decades, after the mysterious Sliders were forced to give up their device."

Pra'vac listened to Kroz'oc patiently while finishing his own meal. Pra'vac nodded his head several times during Kroz'oc's dialogue, then quickly responded.

"Kroz'oc, I believe with the imminent annexation of Honduras, El Salvador, and Nicaruga, Sharina's goal of unification of Latin America, and Western Seaboard of the former United States is assured. If Sharina manages to annex the Yukon territory, and all of Kormanthor's holdings, then western Canada will be under Sharina control.

This is the largest Parallel Universe colony of Sharina, with all the territory it holds here. We are here to stay."

Kroz'oc nodded.

"As difficult as it seems, for once, I agree with you. Sharina is here to stay. Crossing the Parallax Barrier seperating Parallel Universes removed the final barrier to Sharina dominance. If Sharina loses any of its holdings, it can escape into another Parallel Universe to start anew."

The two soldiers talked for a while, trading banter and opposing viewpoints on a variety of issues ranging from politics to enterainment to women.

-Military Message to EVERY NATION-
Greetings, friends. My nation, after pulling through several tough wars, is looking to give further experience to the best soldiers the Dictatorium has to offer. Therefore, we are announcing that 20,000 of the best troops of the nation of Vineyard (out of 8,288,800 men, including Auxiliaries but discluding Beserker troops) have been given new helmets, uniforms, ect that will designate them into this new division. These troops will be forming up and given extreme disiplinary training and will be trained in verious terrain types over the course of the next year. In order to give these troops the kind of battle experience we desire, this unit will be offered as Mercinaries to your nations. We will accept offers for their deployment by your nation for an agreed price and timeperiod.

Thankyou,
Gen. Oraslav
Current Commander of the Centeral Armies.

One hour ago, a large formation of military ships leaved the ports of Oran and Algiers in Algeria. The goal is the Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza).

Algiers, Algeria

"Sir, we have received an urgent message from the Supreme Commander in Argentina!" said the Lieutenant.

"OK, I'll log on and read it immediately". replied General Andersson.
He entered his screen name and told the computer his password. The screen immediately showed that there was a new very important message. Andersson began to read it:

Secret message from the Supreme Commander to General Andersson in Algeria.

We have discussed an incident here at the High Command. We must close our borders of Algeria. The eastern border towards Doomingsland is normally closed at his side, so it should be no problems there. Make sure the southern desert border is closed, and most important: put up a strong border patrol at the borders to the west. We have some indications that something is going on there. Further orders will be sent later. Take Algeria to Defcon 3.


Andersson read the message twice, then he deleted it.

“Okay gentlemen! In my room in 5 minutes, we have something to talk about!” ordered Andersson.

In the meeting the orders to close the borders were given, as well as the change of Defcon-level.

0100 hours, over Mali

"OK boys, we've been here before. But this time we stay here."
"Pilot to loadmaster, green light in 1 minute."
"Roger, green light in 1 minute, check your equipment."
"Pilot to loadmaster, green light in 20 seconds."
"Roger, hook up boys!"
"Green light go, go, go!!!"

At this moment, all over Mali some 20000 soldiers were dropped at key bridges over the river Niger. Some 7500 troops were dropped near Tombouktou (hope I spell it right) in order to capture it. The border was crossed by 450 T-90 and 1535000 men. At the same moment, 100 T-90 and 45000 men crossed the border with Western Sahara, hoping to quickly capture it.

0125 hours, at the border with Sierra Leone

"When do we have a "go", sir?"
"At 0130 hours if everything is alright."
"Go, move out!"
Vroem, vroeem!

650 T-90 and 150 2A6 with 1265000 men invaded Sierra Leone.

***MILITARY PRESSBULLETIN***

Warta Endorean forces Have launched a final offensive in Africa. The offensive involves 28027000 troops , 1200 T-90 and 150 2A6. The enemy has about 250000 poorly armed men, but they have a high moral. The operation will be over in a couple of days since the local forces are very weak and we have an enormous overkill.

Algiers, Algeria
50,000 troops crossed the borders to Mali, and 20,000 troops crossed the borders to West Sahara. 500 Abraham M1A2 tanks rolled over the sand into the Mali part of the Sahara desert.

The troops knew that Warta Endor just hours earlier has began an invasion of the two nations of West Sahara and Mali. Their orders were to find the Warta Endorian troops, stop their invasion and push them out of the lands.

At the same time the tanks crossed the borders, some 200 JAS-planes lifted from air bases in southern Algeria. B52 bombers were ready to take off, and 200 Apache AH-64 were not far from the Mali/West Sahara borders.

Telegram to Wart Endor
We know what you are doing. We’re not going to tolerate that. The nations of Mali and West Sahara do not belong to you. We’re going to push you out of the deserts!

General Carl Hamilton
Secretary of defense, Kingdom of Kopparbergs

Mali and West Sahara

“We must have reinforcements now! We have way to few troops in here. Also, get us more JAS-planes, they’re very good here as the enemy doesn’t have any airplanes here!”

That was the first report from Mali. They haven’t seen any Warta Endorian troops yet, but that’s just a matter of time.

Answer from the HQ in Algiers:
We have moved around troops here in Algeria now, and we’re ready to send you reinforcement in 24 hours. Here’s what you’ll get to Mali:
100,000 troops
200 JAS 39-Gripen.

And to West Sahara we will send 100,000 troops, 500 Abraham M1A2 tanks and another 200 JAS 39-Gripen’s.

You will not get more than that now. A large portion of our Navy is at the Balearic Islands, so we have a limited number of troops here now. Take care of the troops!

OOC: I hope you mistype the number of troops that you have in this area?
Warta Endorean forces Have launched a final offensive in Africa. The offensive involves 28027000 troops
More than 28 million troops seems to be a big godmode to me...


OOC 2: A summary of my troops in Mali and West Sahara, after the reinforcement:

Mali:
150,000 troops
500 Abraham M1A2 tanks
350 JAS 39-Gripen
150 Apache AH-64

West Sahara:
120,000 troops
500 Abraham M1A2 tanks
250 JAS 39-Gripen
50 Apache AH-64

ooc. Sorry, BIG mistake I ment 2.8 million troops.

***Telegram to Kopparbergs HQ***

We wonder why you make a problem of us controlling Mali and Western Sahara. We have never done you wrong, and we never will. We will treat the local population good and with all respect, as we've always done. The reason you give is absolutly bad, Mali and Western Sahara aren't yours either. We will halt our troops were they are for now, but we will defend ourself when necesary. We want to resolve it in a civillized and diplomatic way. We will send our diplomat Wasinski to Algiers after you've answered.

Signed, General Lao

***Secret Telegram to Mauiwowee***

After we have invaded Western Sahara and Mali, Kopparbergs reacted hostile and attacked us. We call upon our friendship, force Kopparbergs out of Mali and Western Sahara in a diplomatic way. If this isn't possible, we would appreciate it if you send troops to Africa.

Signed, General Lao

The smell of the slaty sea was quite clear, even in the bowls of the rusted boat. The marines knew this smell well, after being at sea for nearly 2 years straight now. But this was different. This is when they will prove themselves to lord and Land that they are just as capable soldiers as their land stationed counterparts.

"Almoast there boys! Y'all alright?" the captain said in a loud srained wisper as he attempted to gain leverage above the men.
"Yes sir." some of the soldiers muttered. Some of the soldiers were simply clutching their weapons with their eyes closed, thinking of the battle to come.

Then it all happened suddenly. At the time, it seemed as if God himself set the whole world on fire. Or it could just be flood lights and artillary shells. Either one would describe the beach seen.

"Fu*k, they knew we were comming! Full speed ahead shipsmen!" the captain yelled. The pilot of the boat accelerated the boat from the quiet crawl into a full speed barrel towards the beach. As soon as the boat rammed into the beach, the front of the boat fell away, making a nice little ramp into hell.

"Hit the dirrrrt!"
"Calling in air support!"
"Get those fucking battle ships to bombard those damn flood lights, i can't see a thing!"
"Take cover!" As a huge barrage of shells slammed into the enemy artillary positions. X-31 planes screached overhead, pinpointing the flood lights and knocking them out.
"Ok, boys! Charrrrge!"
The soldiers all lept up and started sprinting for the shallow trench the enemy had dug themselves in. There were some scattered shots as the wave of soldiers lept into the trench for hand to hand combat (Vineyardian troops excell at hand to hand combat. We still equip their guns with bayonnets to this very day.) from there on out, the division fared quite well, they quickly dispatched the few defenders Oman had to offer, and then marched into the capitol city itself in the morning. Their gov't officials were quickly captured
and during forced 'negotiations', they surrendered their land to the Gov't of Vineyard. The one million troops from Iraq Swept through the land, crushing small bands of rebels and seizing the last 3 cities of Ibri, Sur, and Salalah without opposition (except for the bandits and rebellions that spread to a total of 6 villages!). The naval marines boarded their ships once again, after recieving medals from Gen.Turkmanstazi for their brave actions against the whole Oman military (if one wants to call it a military... more like band of poorly armed conscripts).

Casuilties: marines: 100 dead, 131 injured.
Land soldiers : 12 dead, 2 injured.

-Telegram To Warta Endor-
Our nation has decided in favior of rewarding your nation with Domestic Only production rights for the X-36a for free, as long as the Nation of Warta Endor never gives ANY other nation a plane as a gift or purchace agreement. Any such actions will be deemed illegal and production rights will be withdrawn.

The Kingdom of Kopparbergs condemn Vineyards invasion of Oman.

However, as we're busy with our neighbors in Africa, we cannot do anything about it. Due to that, we feel that we can as well recognize your claim of Oman.

Telegram to Warta Endor HQ
We have had good relations with our neighbor nations Mali and Western Sahara, and we have promised them to defend them in a case of invasion. This agreement was committed when Warta Endor invaded the other nations in west Africa.

We’re ready to hold our fire and discuss this incident the diplomatic way. However, we will not withdraw our troops, and our planes will continue to circulate over the whole area 24/7. We have B52’s ready to take off from Algeria with a couple of minutes of preparations.

We will welcome Mr. Wasinski to Algiers with open arms.

OOC: Hey guys, Happy 2005. Just got back from Arizona last night and am still tired and need to unpack now. TGSR I got 9 pages to read since I left. Can i get a summary of whats happened on pages 97-105? Thanks in advance.

WENN 5 pm news

Live from Changi Airport, we are here on the departure of diplomat Wasinski to Algiers. He will talk there with Kopparbergs about the conflict in Western Africa. Mr. Wasinski, can you tell us a bit more about the comming talks?
"Well, first of all, Warta Endor will try to resolve this in a diplomatic way. Military force is absolutly the last method we will use in this case."
You are both members of S.H.I.T. It says in the S.H.I.T. rules that "no member nation shall war with another member nation except for good cause shown." Has Kopparberg a good cause to attack us?
"They say that the nations involved in this war have a treaty with Kopparbergs. Kopparbergs will defend them against any agression, in this case against us. The treaty is a bit vague in my idea, as they never stated they had a treaty."
Is it then a good reason?
"Thats up to the other members of S.H.I.T."
Thank you and a good flight.
"Thank you."

Meanwhile elsewhere in Singapore

Adm. Cranach:"A treaty? Ahh, come on! They tell everyone now they have a treaty? This is ridicoulus! I think they are afraid of us getting to powerful in the region."
Gen. Lao:"Nonsense, I think theey want Mali and Western Sahara themself. It is fairly logical if that was the case, I would do it myself!"
lt. Jang:"But, its a bit synical, isn't it? We planned this as being the final war and again it could be a major conflict! Its like Buddha is against us!"
Air Marshall:"I'm more worried about the B52 bombers, they can have a devastating effect. We do have those 500 F16I, 300 Mig29 and 150 Su37 there. Our tactical long-range bombing strength is worthless: 30 B2 and 40 B52. Algiers is in our range with the F16I, but its still a risky thing."
Gen. Lao:"We've clearly got an overkill now, I almost ordered to continue the war. I'm worried about S.H.I.T. though. We got a strong position, after all he attacked us, but he's very mighty within the alliance. How's our sub strength in Africa?"
Adm. Cranach:"Well, we got 15 Nuclear attack subs and 35 Diessel attack subs. Why do you ask?"
Gen. Lao:"I thought of attacking their fleet near the Balears, but it cannot be done."
Adm. Cranach:"It is possible, but with a large risk."
Gen. Lao:"OK, send all the subs in the medditaranian, but wait with attacking untill Wasinski fails."

::: Communication to Vineyard and Warta Endor :::

Dear Sirs:
To date, neither Karond Karr nor Tenebricouis have replied to our last communication regarding the end of the war in S.E. Russia. As the principal participants in the war, it is our suggestion that we enter into the following treaty and Karond Karr and Tenebricouis can do whatever they wish, including fight it out with each other over S.E. Russia. That said the following is set out for us:



IT IS THEREFORE AGREED BY ALL SIGNATORY NATIONS:

Vineyard shall refrain from sending military naval vessels or aircraft into this area, unless it is done pursuant to a specific invitation and a failure to abide by this term shall be deemed a hostile act on Vineyard's part. Mauiwowee and Warta Endor shall reciprocally refrain from sending military vessels and aircraft into the Mediterranean and Black Sea unless specifically invited.

5. All hostilities between Vineyard, Warta Endor and Mauiwowee shall be deemed to be at an end as of the signing of this treaty and all declarations of war shall be recisinded.

reaction ooc. I invaded Mali, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Côte d'Ivoire but I retreated to my current territory because Kopparbergs said I took to much land. (which was true at that time) But now my nation is 600 million + and I think I've proven I can Rp at a high standard, so that cannot be a problem.

Ok doesn't have to be TGSR, can anyone give me a summary?

1. Mauiwowee and Warta Endor kicked Vineyard out of South East Russia and have left the door open for Karrond Karr and Tenebricouis to fight out their disputed claims for the territory on their own. As a result of the treaty, Vineyard must get permission to bring his military ships and planes into the FOAM monitored area of the Pacific.

2. Norleans invaded Iowa and got bogged down in a gurrella war with the new nation of Lachenburg and is currently in peace talks there. Norleans is also consolidating control over Missourri and is preparing an invasion of Illinois while bombing of Illinois continues. Norleans has also invaded the American Virgin Islands and conquered St. John and St. Thomas and is involved in battles to take St. Croix.

3. Sharina has been attacks on South and North Dakota with Norleans support as well.

4. Warta Endor and Kopparsberg are in peace talks to try and solve a dispute in Africa before a full war in the Sahara breaks out.

5. Vineyard has invaded Oman I believe

6. A few other skirmishes in Africa have taken place.

That's what I know and can reliably report on.

As I said earlier, the war with Vineyard is over. There's not really other news.

EDIT:thanks for the better summary, Norleans:D

OOC: You are most welcome. :)

IC:

Off the Coast of St. Croix

"Captain, forces report they are 'go' for the invasion of Christiansted and Buck Island is fully secure as a staging area and control center. The B-52's from Tampa Bay are continuing to bomb the central mountain region however. The Carrier Swamper is off the coast of Frederiksted with it's support ships. They have launched a salvo of 25 Cruise missiles into Frederiksted and begun some targeted attacks with their own aircraft. The port at Hovensa is completely blocked by our battleships. In short, we're ready to go."

"Thank you officer Spanks" said the Captain of the Norleans Carrier Natchez "Tell the men its a go to start the invasion of Christiansted, but remember, by our estimates, there are 40,000 rebels holed up in the mountains in the central part of the island and we can't count on the easy going our boys had in St. Thomas with this island. Their anti-aircraft batteries have already taken out 14 or more planes and they sank the battleship Iberia with those damn anti-ship missile batteries they had in Christiansted before we took 'em out. I want full Appache attack chopper escort for the men as they go in. Understood?"

***********************************

In Missourri Command HQ, St. Louis

"Colonel, what have you got?" asked General Gator, commander of the "Missourri Mission" as he liked to call his part in the "Virgin Midwest" war.

"Sir, East St. Louis is completely secure and free travel across the bridges is available at this time. Joplin and Kansas City have fallen as did Cape Guirado. There is apparently a small local militia in Hannibal still trying to hold out, but we've got them surrounded with about 5,000 men and 2 gun boats in the river, they won't hold out much longer. The border with Iowa has been re-inforced with 20,000 troops to ensure what ever happens in Iowa stays in Iowa. I'm in the process of obtaining an additional 25,000 men out of Arkansas and Kansas. Once that they arrive, we'll be ready to advance into Illinois. We've got 35,000 men already set up and garrisoned in East St. Louis and another 10,000 on the way up from Memphis. Bombing of Chicago and all points in between continues. There has been a smattering of anti-aircraft fire, but not much to speak of. We've lost about 5 or 6 planes total. They appear to be ready for a ground war."

"Good job Colonel. Send a message to the Duke in Iowa and copy it to the Duchess in New Orleans. With their agreement, I intend to start the full scale attack on Illinois within the week."

"Yes sir, will do sir."

You clearly forgot to mention that you and Warta arn't allowed in the Med or the Black sea.

True, sorry, I did forget this, the oversight was not intentional however.

also, i wasn't "kicked out", i made a treaty.

Well, from an IC standpoint, that is a matter of perspective isn't it? :)

Kopparbergs Ministry of Defense - Algiers, Algeria
A general speaks with a lieutenant.
“When is Mr. Wasinski supposed to arrive here?”
“I think he’ll come in two hours. We have arranged everything.”
“OK, good. I’ve made a first note of what we shall talk about with him. Do you want to have a look?”
“Of course!” he replied and was given a paper. “Hmm… okay. Do you think they will agree to this?”
“Of course not, but this is the first suggestion. You know, it’s a negotiation my friend!”

---

“General Andersson, we have received a question from our Secretary of S.H.I.T. He says that Warta Endor blames us for this war, and that we’re the ones who attack.”

“Propaganda from Warta Endor! We’re the ones who defend two nations under invasion! Tell Bergdahl that!” replied Andersson with a small anger in his voice.

---

The High Command, Argentina

“Gentlemen, what shall we do with this incident in West Africa? We must have a quick end to this, otherwise our other plans will suffer!” said the Supreme Commander.

“I think we shall crush Warta Endor, that’s the fastest way to reach peace! Send out that damn B52’s! They’re best in the air, on the ground they will not be by any use.” said one of the older generals.

“Yes, that’s an option. But I’ll think that we can come to a solution faster and cheaper if we try the diplomatic way.” said another general.

“Cheaper? Who cares about money here? Apart from Warta Endor of course. Have you heard of their lousy economy? Their GDP per capita is only $320 and our is $29,727. Their total GDP is $196 billion, and ours is $23,812 billion. Our economy is more than a hundred times stronger! Our defense budget is $886 billion and Warta’s is $34 billion. Very big difference!” said the third general.

“Okay, I’ll say that we give the diplomatic talks one chance. If they fail we have the power to easily force Warta Endor out of Africa.” said the Supreme Commander.

OOC: Warta Endor, I have two submarine battle groups around the Balearic Islands too. Just for your information. I think that we should try to solve this the diplomatic way first. In your next message you can assume that Mr. Wasinski has arrived to the Ministry of Defense in Algiers – so we can begin the talks.

Reply to Mauiwowee:

You are welcome to send a delegation to Algiers, Algeria where the diplomatic talks about West Africa will be held. We appreciate if you will come.

King Karl Gustav XX
Kingdom of Kopparbergs

OOC: My reason to "invade" this two countries may or may not be official in the diplomatic talks. If you're observant then you'll see that I posted that the borders of Algiers was closed BEFORE Warta Endor started the invasion (one or two posts before). My military was already on highest alert.

1. Mauiwowee and Warta Endor kicked Vineyard out of South East Russia and have left the door open for Karrond Karr and Tenebricouis to fight out their disputed claims for the territory on their own.

Yea, you might have trouble holding international conferences when your nation is being invaded.

Seriously, Whittier-, where have you been? I've been trying to contact you. In case you still don't know, Tenebricosis has invaded Iran with over half of it's standing army. I think Vineyard sent something too. And Tehran exploded by way of space-laser.

Another thing, is it so hard to spell TenebricoSIS? With a sis, and not an ois or uis or ous?

Dear Sir or Madam,

Lord C.E.O. Khaine has agreed that your need of financial aid is significant, and is fully prepared to pledge whatever financial aid is necessary in order to speed up completion of the canal, his lordship therefore offers the sum of 450 billion dollars on the following terms
-Karond Kari ships be allowed passage at half price until the total savings reach the cost of the money given
-Vineyardan ships be denied entry to the canal, with Karond Kar paying for the lost toll money

We must reject your terms, as we believe in free trade. Therefore, while monetary donations are appreciated, we cannot agree to the second of the terms.

All other donations of money are accepted gratefully, and work is progressing wonderfully, the money provided above and beyond the initial cost prediction has allowed us to greatly increase our speed, and we can expect to knock four to eight months off the schedule.

President Brendon Statton was dealing with some tough issues. War in the Medditerranian. War in the Red Sea. He wouldn't last long if this continued. He called meeting. He would make a major announcement.

Port Sudan
January First, 2005

"My dear citizens, we are at war. Death is imminent. Our nation is failing. Because of this, I would like to spare the lives and suffering of our brothers overseas. As of today, our colony in Connecticut will be its own entity, ruled by Armando Prego. Thank You."

OOC: This will put my puppet, Parish Hill, in power there. It is getting too hard to RP in Earth one and Five.

A tall and bearded man, appearing to be in his 30's, approached a square podium with the Sharina emblem on its front. Chaos ensured as several hundred reporters, cameras, and microphones made a mad frenzy towards the tall man. After some muscling by several guards to push back the crowd, the tall man finally reached the podium, and began speaking without any visual cues.

"Greetings, people of Sharina.

As your leader, I have several things to address. I am aware that you have thousands of questions, so I'll attempt to be as clear and concise as possible.

First of all, I am proud to announce that El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicarguga are fully annexed, and part of the Sharina Technocracy. Over twenty thousand of our brave soldiers died to secure these lands, and their sacrifice will ensure that these lands will enjoy the first class living standards of Sharina.

Second, I have already sent our boys to the Dakotas, as lands around us are beginning to rebel or revolt aganist their oppressive masters. They are taking notice of Sharina's perpetual growth and prosperity, and they also desire the same freedoms and rights that our people enjoy. They do not want to continue being subjugated or being opressed.

So I believe it is our duty to aid these rebels to overthrow their governments, and bring the long suffering people relief. They will enjoy access to pure hydrogen water, succulent food, warm houses and dwellings, enhanced transportation, and access to Sharina's plethora of manufactured goods. They will live as people should, happy and free.

Our boys have been through a lot over the past several years, forging an empire of blood and steel. Thousands, if not millions of liters of blood has been split for the betterment of the less fortunate. Steel has been forged inside the hearts of each and every one of our people, resolute in the goal of bringing freedom and justice to all.

Our sacrifices will continue, and as they say, nothing viable is gained without struggle. We are always made stronger by struggle and hardship, as it has been proven time after time throughout history, nay, the entirety of evolution. Our people shall stand superior to these mammal humans.

Thank you, and may we all grow even stronger through blood and prospersity."

Huge rounds of applause could be heard as President Rand Veristek bowed before walking off the stage.

--Diary of Ken Watanabe--

This is the voice recording of Ken Watanabe.
I am currently flying in a Wyvern transport/bomber with the pilot and three other Dragons. We are heading towards the town of Olongapo in the Phillipines. There are clear skies with some wind against us so we will arrive at our destination a little later than planned but it doesn't matter much.

"ETA 10 minutes. Get ready for a HALO jump guys. You should land near key buildings."

That was the pilot. He seems to be pretty skilled and he is still young probably in his 20s, no older than I. Little gunfire can be heard.

"Alright i'll tell you when to jump. You all know your numbers right?"
"Yes!"
"Ok. Five other planes dropped off their guys already. Two other dragons are near your sector. Spread out in NW, NE, SW and SE ways. Complete your mission then escape. Remeber, stealth. Okay 1 go! Hey 4 put that cigarette out and get your mask on. Okay 2 go! Doesn't he know those are bad? Guess I can't blame him, oh 3 go now!"

Yeah alright.
Lets see... guess i'll use my tranquilizer pistol, i'll try and stick to that but I always got my other weapons just incase. Hmm that must be the building. A security system... this wire should shut it off. Woops, I shut off the entire power, not the wire I was looking for but it gets the job done I guess. Im supposed to take pictures and collect artifacts for our nation.
There we go, almost out of memory and getting full on what I can carry. I though others were comming to help me, but whatever.

"gdaffa yiggjhdibkjo ufewg gbnsdo owaz eawihgo agheoa goawhe"
Huh? This guys asleep. Wake up. Must be intruders nearby. I'll take care of them.

Another guard? Dam out of tranquilizer bullets.
The guard gestured Ken to come closer and attack him
Yea, i'll fight you hand to hand.
Dam he's good, don't know where he learned to fight but he's good. Ha, knocked you down. Get up and lets finish this.
Hmm he pulled out two wierd looking knives. Fine, he wants to use weapons now I'll use my katana.
Wow, he blocked all my attacks but I blocked his as well. Huh? He sheathed his weapons. He's bowing. Yea, guess your right, its a draw, i'll bow too. You are a formidable opponent, I look foward to the next time we meet.

Alright, I got the stuff, time to leave.
"Can anyone hear me?"
Huh my walkie talkie. Yea I hear you.
"I need someone to get to a government or communications building."
Yeah, i'm right by one.
"This is General Lee. We need information on how many men they have. Get in that building and look into a computer. Once you do, i'll tell you how to translate it."
Right away sir.

"Get over here!"
Huh who's that. Another dragon. He's using some kind of weapon on a chain and pulling that guy towards him. Shit, he pulled him then swiftly stabbed him many times. Must be one of those Nameless. I think it was the one on my plane. God I hate them, but I also pity them. Hey you, come with me, I need help invading this building, I'm sure you already heard.
"Yea sure whatever."

I'm at the main computer sir.
"Okay, its probably no good that you can't read the language on it."
I can make out some of it but yea your right.
"Do you see a power button?"
No, I can't find one.
"Just use a magnet then."
Hey you, I need your walkie talkie. Thanks, i'll take the magnet out of his so I won't risk hurting mine. Okay its shut down.
"Okay reboot it and i'll tell you what buttons to press when its loading."

Alright there are... 60,000 armed soldiers for them nearby. In Manila there are... 1,250,000 soldiers.
"Okay good, then thats how many warriors we'll send. Good work dragon, now get out of there. If you make it by dawn, you can help in the attack."
Sir, they are very strong, I fought one guard in the museum and it ended in a draw.
"Well then it will be a very even battle tomorrow. And if we are victorious, we will have proven ourselves strong."

As of my post (#1601) above this one (#1603), please consider El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaruga officially fully annexed by Sharina.

I felt I had to get this out of the way so I can focus more on the ongoing affairs with Norleans, and also free up more RP time to focus on other Earth V stuff like the impeding Warta Endor - Kooparsbergs conflict, along with plans for the war in Canada (once I finish the Dakotas thing with Norleans).

Lol, yes i do. I had the only troops "protecting" iran at the time. I seized all cities with 200,000 troops at the start of Tenebricosises invasion. You don't have a country.

To whom it concerns. Though we desire peace with your nations, this is not possible as you continue to illegally occupy our land in Iran. Your forces in Iran are currently surrounded and have no means of escape. If you lay down your arms and agree to leave, I will allow your soldiers to live. But they must lay down and leave behind all arms including rifles, tanks, aircraft and warships that are illegally docked in Iranian ports. You may not take any of these things with you. Any one attempting to do so will be fired upon and destroyed. Now I am sure you are need of these soldiers for your other wars and that losing them in Iran would hurt your geostrategic position in the world. You have 24 hours to respond.

EDIT: Double Post.

Televisions, internet displays, and Media Centers all across Sharina were playing their regularly scheducled news program, SIEIN News, as it was News Hour across Sharina. Hundreds of local news anchor-men and anchor-women were broadcasting their stories, until the text on their telepromters were replaced by the black, white, and red Sharina emblem with the text "Top Breaking News". The image also appeared on the upper left corner of all news programs, replacing the current picture of the news stories being broadcast.

The teleprompter began scrolling new live feed from Sharina High Command.

Sharina's most famous news anchor, Kasina Lusvan, began speaking in a quiet voice.

"We have just recieved top breaking news. There is another major revolution, breakdown of order, and anarchy as the massive nation of Yevon of Spira has collapsed. Their leaders either were massacred, resigned, or began fighting amongst themselves as a massive government scandal took place.

President Rand Veristek is immediately mobilizing its considerable Pacific and Arctic Fleets to the former Yevon territories of the Canadian provinces of Nunavut, Saskatchewan, and Yukon Territory. Thousands of troops are streaming into Yukon Territory from Alaska and British Columbia. Many of these troops are battle hardened veterans of Sharina's conquest of Alaska and British Columbia several years ago.

Hundreds of Kongabac III Ultra-Heavy bombers are taking off fields to destroy opposition, escorted by Phoenix Fighters. In addition, President Rand Veristek has ordered the deployment of 400 Colossus Ultra Artillery and 2,000 of the newly built Paragon II tanks.

Goliath transports are bringing much needed troops and supplies to begin an offensive in Nunavut, bypassing Kormanthor's coastline. The fall of Yevon of Spira marks another chapter in Sharina's bloody struggle for dominance in North America.

We will bring you more information as the situation develops. We will resume our normal News Hour after these messages."

(Cuts to commercials)

==========================
Important OOC:

I just checked NES Economy for Yevon's stats, and NES came up empty. I was like "What the hell?" then I went to the main NS site, and searched for Yevon of Spira, and then the NS site says "Uh-Oh. Yevon does not exist!"

He has apparently been deleted, either from mod's or inactivity. This makes things easier, as he hasn't been an active member of Earth V anyway.

Keep in mind, I'm only keeping my wars and expansion in North America and Latin America. I have NO interests whatsoever in Asia, Europe, Africa, or Australia, as I prefer to keep one continuous territory, not spread my holdings hap-hazard all over the world like Wirraray, Vineyard, Warta Endor, etc.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, this is Asus Norton, your SidTV live at 5 correspondent. I hope you've had a wonderful start to the new year.

In our top story tonight, troops withdrawing from North East Russia, thought to be headed home have instead been diverted to South East China and Northern Indonesia. Apparently the government of Yevon of Spira has collapsed and civil war and all out anarchy are expected to spread if not contained quickly. We expect more news as things develop and we will keep you informed.

OOC: Yep, Yevon is gone who better to take control of his Pacific holdings than - yep, you guessed it, me (Besides, Warta Endor's busy in Africa) :)

Gen. Lao:"So, gentlemen. How're we going to handle the Kopparbergs conflict?"
lt. Jang:"You are going to do nothing. The staff has decided that you bring us only into trouble."

Gen. Jang:"Gentlemen, I'm chief of staff now."
Adm. Cranach:"What about Kopparbergs?"
Gen. Jang:"Wasinski nows about it. We will retreat from Mali and West Sahara, we can't take him on."

Meanwhile in Algiers

Wasinski:"Sirs, I've something to say. We have eliminated Gen. Lao and we retreat from Mali and West Sahara. Hostilities will end. What do you say?"

ooc. Well, I also checked Thirdgeek and almost got an heartattack :o I cannot take Kopparbergs on without help.

How do you take over a nation with a 5 million man army without resistance?I believe you muttered something about mass rebelion, famine or plague. And not to mention you said nothing for a RL month! I sent 200,000 troops in to help your nation because you asked for help, then when Tenebrocosis invaded, i simply concentrated my armies on all of your cities. Besides, my troops pulled out a while ago, because Tenebrocosis owned your nation. ha.

Good morning Sheilas and surfers. This is Asus Norton, your SidTV correspondent with a special morning report. As we reported last night, troops headed home from the conflict in Russia have been diverted to South East China and Northern Indonesia to quell potential unrest resulting from the collapse of Yevon of Spira. The palace announced today that a proposal had been put forth to our ally, Warta Endor, by which they would gain complete control of the island of New Guinea and effectively "split" Northern Indonesia between Mauiwowee and Warta Endor with Mauiwowee taking Borneo and the islands while Warta Endor continued its control of Malasayia and southern Indonesia.

According to reports, our troops are already on shore in Borneo. As we receive additional information, we'll let you know. There is apparently a blackout at this time on news from China, however, we are attempting to obtain information through other sources and will report on that as soon as reliable information has been made available to us.
Now, for your weather today . . . .

-- Zagreb News -- (First Army) 2 million troops, all of whom had only a day's rest after being ushered to Iraq, Crossed the border of Saudi Arabia and into the gaping desert. the troops are marching on the city of Al Wajh, which has begun to feel the might of Vineyardian Air power. After they take the city, it is expected that they will march south, following the western coast... conquering all cities in their way. in the mean time,(Second Army) 1 million troops are marching north from Oman (leaving meager security forces to guard the provence) and are marching on the city of As Sulayyil. After words, they are expected to march on the Saudi capitol itself, Riyadh. While they are doing that, a third force of 200,000 naval marines are expected to land near the city of Al Hufuf and march on the city itself. After wards, they will march on the capitol along with the Second army... efectivly executing a pincer movement of the capitol city. logistics during this campaign is a problem, but the nation of Vineyard is hoping that it could use up its supply stores for that task.\

In other news, his highness was seen break-dancing at the royal palace...

Warta Endorean marines, the 3rd and 4th divisions (50000 men in total) have landed near the city of Fakfak on New Guinea. On the other end, Marines and regular forces of the Papua Garrison have crossed the border. The 7th and 12th Marine divisions have landed near Merauke and Agats to ensure control of the cities. All forces have retreated from Mali and West Africa. In Military HQ a large "clean up" has taken place and all radical and General Lao supporters have been eliminated. Wasisnki in Algiers has the orders to make sure peace is sure with Kopparbergs.

OCC: Alright Norleans, I'm back. I guess I'll start off the talks.


ICC:

Des Moines, Iowa


Bradley felt a new sense of confidence, as the Duke and his officals strode into the room, their slow pace and gloomy looks revealing their disgruntled attitude about the entire matter.

After a brief exchange of hand shakes and greetings, all the participating members sat in the black leather chairs around the wooden table.

After an akward silence, Bradley slowly stood up to adress the sullen group:

" In the following period of time, both parties will be given an unlimited amount of time to state their terms. Once both cases have been laid out, we shall negotiate until everyone in this room agrees with the treaty."

Taking a massive gulp of water from his glass, Bradley quenched his thirst before continuing:

" My general staff and I have agreed upon the following documents that are displayed in the center of the table. The treaty is short and sweet, contianing only 5 major points:

1. POWs shall be exchangeed between both sides of the conflict. All POWs must be exchanged within a 2 week basis.

2. All Norleans must completley withdraw from Iowian territory over a 1 month period. In return, any military forces allied of Iowa will also be removed from Iowian territories over the same time period. However, Humanitarian aid is permitted to stay within Iowa, until their objectives have been satisfied.

3. The Government of Norleans must pay for two-thirds of the war damages sustained within Iowa. Furthermore, Norleans must pay the Iowian Government 100 billion USD to aid in the reconstruction of Iowa. These assets can be payed out over a maximum period of 2 years and must be wired to Iowian banks in Des Moines and Cedar Rapids.

4. The entire city of Sioux City shall be ceded over to the Iowian Government. All foregin citizens within the city will be authorized to gain citizenship, or may choose to leave.

5. The part of the Mississippi River bordering Iowa shall be declared as Iowian waters. Foriegn military vessels are not permitted to pass through, unless authorized by the Iowian government. All merchant and civillian vessels are authorized to pass through these waters, without a permit.

The rest of the document is just nonsense. Now if you don't mind, we would care to here your terms."

Falling back into his seat, Bradley waited paitently for the Duke's response.

I believe you muttered something about mass rebelion, famine or plague. And not to mention you said nothing for a RL month!

good thing I wasn't able to get on. It saved you both from having your butts chewed out.
First of all, anyone who knows my nation knows I have war sats in orbit at all times to detect nuclear launches and hostile moves by other nation's satallites. Any use of this supersized laser battle gun thingy of his would have resulted in a massive thermonuclear strike with 15k of my nukes against his nation whereby turning it into a nuclear wasteland and wiping out his military permanently.
Further, there is no way 200,000 troops can seize cities in a nation that 5 million troops. I started off with 45 million, the pandemics and defections reduced that amount alot, but only to about 10 million.
Further more, I happen to have a sizeable navy and airforce that both of you have had to go through.
And nowhere did it say in the thread that my nation was annexed or invaded. It only said he was attempting an invasion of Iran and was firing a laser at Tehran.
Now if he wants to do it right, I will recognize him attempting an invasion of Iran but I will not recognize the laser. Otherwise it means both your nations being attacked with over 15,000 nuclear weapons from Iran and Grenada and another 200 from space.
My IC offer for him to withdraw still stands. And no, he does not own my nation.

Good evening folks! This is Asus Norton, your SidTV Live at 5 reporter bringing you the latest and greatest news from the great nation of Mauiwowee!! In our top story tonight:

As we reported to you this morning, Mauwiwowee has diverted troops from North East Russia into the areas of South East China and Northern Indonesia and offerered to share control of North East Indonesia with our staunch ally, Warta Endor. Warta Endor, in response issued an official announcement today agreeing to the terms of the Mauiwowee treaty and began invasions into the western half of the island of New Guinea. On the other hand, Mauiwowee began invasions into Borneo and the islands of Northern Indonesia as shown the map,

::: cut to map inset :::

http://img20.exs.cx/img20/2356/indonesiainvasionsmall2bw.jpg

According to sources, some 20,000 Mauiwoweean forces are already on the ground in the Borneo city of Sangkulirang and another 15,000 have landed in Singkawang. Due to the collapse of Yevon of Spira's government coinciding with the recent small, but devastating, Tsunami in the area, resistance is expected to be minimal. However, as a precaution, Mauiwowee forces have, according to unconfirmed reports, offloaded some 5,000 tanks and Ferrets in the the area of Singkawang and another 3,000 in Sangkulirang.

Again, a news black out from China prevents us from bringing you additional news from that area, but we have it on good authority that some 300,000 troops have landed in various areas of the coast, both north and South of Hong Kong and bombing runs into the interior to ensure the safety of troops have begun.

Additional reports will be made available as we recievie them. Now, a word from our sponsors:

One of the largest bombers on earth, the Arkbird is designed as the heavy hitter of the strategic bomber fleet. This is not to say the aircraft isn't stealthy, for it actually has a lower RCS than the B-1B, and with Pallas Athena, can have an RCS of Zero. It also uses the Advanced Visual Signature Reduction system that uses flourescent panels to make the aircraft harder to spot, and Blurred Edges along with Flickering Skin to avoid IR seeking weapons.

The Arkbird is powered by eight massive turbofans designed for cruise efficiency. The aircraft cruises around mach .90, but on full burn can travel at mach 1.3. The engines can use hafnium fuel assistance for the ability to cruise for up to two weeks, meaning the aircraft can operate independently from tankers or loiter around a target area for days on end, ready to provide fire support at a moment's notice.

The aircraft has a series of massive internal bays allowing it to carry up to 265,000 pounds of armarment or unmanned vehicles. Yes, that's correct. The Arkbird can launch and recover UCAVs, and even be mounted with AWACS grade radar. 8 Bugzapper ALW-5 150kw laser systems are mounted on the aircraft for close in defense.

A crew of up to 12 can be supported in case an AWACS/C4I mission is necessary, but usually crews are much, much lower. Thanks to the BWB design, the Arkbird can take off of most normal heavy bomber runways, although it is recommended they be reinforced a bit.

Cost: 3 Billion USD

The Arkibrd can be used as a space shuttle during peacetime, and our verson can launch into orbit directly from the Mass Driver at the Hamburg Space Center. That is where your nation could get involved.

--Northern Iraq Space Center-- the NISC (Northern Iraq Space Center) was finished today, as the guards manned their posts and a large red ribbon was cut by Mikahel Argeknof, head of the Vineyardian Space Agency. Reporters explored the large launchpads and austronaughts quarters, but were denied entry to the research center. Insiders say that the Sunburst fighters are nearly complete, but is going to be finished soon. They say that there are small glitches in the lightspeed engines (such as blowing up!) but those problems are expected to be ironed out shortly. Also, construction is underway of a large space station, ment to house and protect the Space Pilots and their Sunbursts. what military Generals are marveling at is the Space to Ground Missle, claiming that the nation of Vineyard may never need bombers of any sort ever again with this capibility.

Yea, SPDSWAT2@aol.com.

Televisions, internet displays, and Media Centers all across Sharina were playing their regularly scheducled news program, SIEIN News, as it was News Hour across Sharina. Hundreds of local news anchor-men and anchor-women were broadcasting their stories, until the text on their telepromters were replaced by the black, white, and red Sharina emblem with the text "Top Breaking News". The image also appeared on the upper left corner of all news programs, replacing the current picture of the news stories being broadcast.

The teleprompter began scrolling new live feed from Sharina High Command.

Sharina's most famous news anchor, Kasina Lusvan, began speaking in a quiet voice.

"We have just recieved top breaking news. There is another major revolution, breakdown of order, and anarchy as the massive nation of Yevon of Spira has collapsed. Their leaders either were massacred, resigned, or began fighting amongst themselves as a massive government scandal took place.

President Rand Veristek is immediately mobilizing its considerable Pacific and Arctic Fleets to the former Yevon territories of the Canadian provinces of Nunavut, Saskatchewan, and Yukon Territory. Thousands of troops are streaming into Yukon Territory from Alaska and British Columbia. Many of these troops are battle hardened veterans of Sharina's conquest of Alaska and British Columbia several years ago.

Hundreds of Kongabac III Ultra-Heavy bombers are taking off fields to destroy opposition, escorted by Phoenix Fighters. In addition, President Rand Veristek has ordered the deployment of 400 Colossus Ultra Artillery and 2,000 of the newly built Paragon II tanks.

Goliath transports are bringing much needed troops and supplies to begin an offensive in Nunavut, bypassing Kormanthor's coastline. The fall of Yevon of Spira marks another chapter in Sharina's bloody struggle for dominance in North America.

We will bring you more information as the situation develops. We will resume our normal News Hour after these messages."

(Cuts to commercials)

==========================
Important OOC:

I just checked NES Economy for Yevon's stats, and NES came up empty. I was like "What the hell?" then I went to the main NS site, and searched for Yevon of Spira, and then the NS site says "Uh-Oh. Yevon does not exist!"

He has apparently been deleted, either from mod's or inactivity. This makes things easier, as he hasn't been an active member of Earth V anyway.

Keep in mind, I'm only keeping my wars and expansion in North America and Latin America. I have NO interests whatsoever in Asia, Europe, Africa, or Australia, as I prefer to keep one continuous territory, not spread my holdings hap-hazard all over the world like Wirraray, Vineyard, Warta Endor, etc.
OOC: What?! Yevon of Spira collapsed?! whatever he didn't post much in earth v anyways i guess

IC:
Arbiter Katsumoto: What? It seems the people of South East China are in panic and chaos after the nation of Yevon of Spira collapsed. Many are pouring into Hong Kong and Thailand now and they are becomming even more crowded. I suspect many more are going into other parts of China.

Emperor Briones: We need to do something to help these people. But soldiers and supplies are currently busy in the Phillipines.

Secretary of Commerce: Enlightened One if I may.

Emperor Briones: Of course go right ahead.

Secretary of Commerce: I agree that we must do something. Are economy will go down seriously and population will increase dramatically.

Arbiter Katsumoto: Its simple! Just take over South East China and the Phillipines and economy will increase and more land will be opened up.

Secretary of Commerce: I'm afraid its not as simple as that. True our economy will increase if we do but it would cost a great deal of money and many more warriors lives will be lost.

Arbiter Katsumoto: Well then they will die with honour.

Emperor Briones: What do you propose we do Secretary?

Secretary of Commerce: I propose we annex both the Phillipines and South East China. We will get a slow start and slowly take both countries.

Arbiter Katsumoto: We should ask our allied FOAM members to help us to make things go quicker.

Emperor Briones: I feel it wouldn't be right to ask them for help. We weren't able to help them in the war with Vineyard. And now they are in other conflicts which we are unable to help right now either. We will start preperations tomorrow.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, this is Asus Norton, your SidTV live at 5 correspondent. I hope you've had a wonderful start to the new year.

In our top story tonight, troops withdrawing from North East Russia, thought to be headed home have instead been diverted to South East China and Northern Indonesia. Apparently the government of Yevon of Spira has collapsed and civil war and all out anarchy are expected to spread if not contained quickly. We expect more news as things develop and we will keep you informed.

OCC: Alright Norleans, I'm back. I guess I'll start off the talks.


ICC:

Des Moines, Iowa


Bradley felt a new sense of confidence, as the Duke and his officals strode into the room, their slow pace and gloomy looks revealing their disgruntled attitude about the entire matter.

After a brief exchange of hand shakes and greetings, all the participating members sat in the black leather chairs around the wooden table.

After an akward silence, Bradley slowly stood up to adress the sullen group:

" In the following period of time, both parties will be given an unlimited amount of time to state their terms. Once both cases have been laid out, we shall negotiate until everyone in this room agrees with the treaty."

Taking a massive gulp of water from his glass, Bradley quenched his thirst before continuing:

" My general staff and I have agreed upon the following documents that are displayed in the center of the table. The treaty is short and sweet, contianing only 5 major points:

1. POWs shall be exchangeed between both sides of the conflict. All POWs must be exchanged within a 2 week basis.

2. All Norleans must completley withdraw from Iowian territory over a 1 month period. In return, any military forces allied of Iowa will also be removed from Iowian territories over the same time period. However, Humanitarian aid is permitted to stay within Iowa, until their objectives have been satisfied.

3. The Government of Norleans must pay for two-thirds of the war damages sustained within Iowa. Furthermore, Norleans must pay the Iowian Government 100 billion USD to aid in the reconstruction of Iowa. These assets can be payed out over a maximum period of 2 years and must be wired to Iowian banks in Des Moines and Cedar Rapids.

4. The entire city of Sioux City shall be ceded over to the Iowian Government. All foregin citizens within the city will be authorized to gain citizenship, or may choose to leave.

5. The part of the Mississippi River bordering Iowa shall be declared as Iowian waters. Foriegn military vessels are not permitted to pass through, unless authorized by the Iowian government. All merchant and civillian vessels are authorized to pass through these waters, without a permit.

The rest of the document is just nonsense. Now if you don't mind, we would care to hear your terms."

Falling back into his seat, Bradley waited paitently for the Duke's response.

Duke Long thought about it. He liked this man, a no nonsense, "to the point" kind of man - just like the Duke. He couldn't go with it all, but the leader of Lachenburg had guts in the face of an overwhelming military, he stood his ground. This man and his country could be of aid in the future. Thinking about this he said: "Good, no BS, I like that give me a minute or so." Turning to his aides he conferred in whispers for a few minutes and then said:

"OK, here is our counter-offer"

1. No problem, we'll do it within 5 days from treaty ratification in fact.

2. We'll withdraw completely from Iowa and you may remain where you are so long as Zuhair Malik's "humanitarian" aid is ousted immediately upon agreement as to terms.

3. We won't pay diddley-squat for reparations. You didn't make yourself known in this territory until after we began our invasion and your tactics hurt us as much as we could possibly be said to have hurt you. On the other hand, if you'll agree to a "free" zone such as we have with Sharina and grant Sharina and Norleans the rights in Iowa that we have in Nebraska and Colorado, we can assure you that private industry willl make sure your land is taken care. In other words, join the Colorado and Nebraska agreement and make it the Colorado, Nebraska and Iowa treaty. We can assure you Sharina will join in this part of the agreement.

4. See the above. You can have Sioux City for yourself on a general political basis, just join Sharina and I and get Zuhair Malik and their alllies out!!!!!!

5. To quote my wife, the Duchess of Norleans,: "Talk to the Hand!" The Mississippi River belongs to us, and us alone! We will agree, however, in the interests of peace, to grant you the same rights to travel on the river that are granted to members of S.H.I.T. (Southern Hemisphere Import Treaty). This means, easy and cheap commercial shipping, but military control belongs to Norleans.

"OK, let him consider this" thought the Duke, "He's no wussey, but now he knows I'm not either. On the other hand, here are the conscessions he needs to be happy and get that middle eastern bastard Zuhair Malik and his Vineyardian ally out of north america. An ally with me and Sharina is a help. An enemy must be destroyed. It's his turn to choose."

Gen. Nox: I'll send more of my Dragons there. Most of them will be Nameless.

Gen. Lee: Nameless?! No we can't General Nox, they may be our enemy right now but they are just like us... Human beings just like us, and they are also somewhat closely related to jeetkunedese. I like to take things slow so that there are less casualitites and less damage to their country.

Gen. Briones: Maybe they were before but now they are barbarians, savages without a leader. Thats what we're doing right helping them, and the chinese people who fled to our nation. So, what do we do?

Gen. Lee: There aren't many more men we can send. Bombing is out of the question. We should just continue with the plans until something else happens.

Gen. Nox: Agreed no bombing. But we can't just sit and wait for our men to win an even match. General Briones, I think you'll agree with me that we need to bring in more warriors. General Lee, just for you, no more Nameless will be sent, and i'll have our warriors use less guns.

Gen. Briones: Agreed
Gen. Lee: Fine

Gen. Briones: I'm going to the Phillipines. I'll command our warriors.

Gen. Nox: Okay, 500,000 more soldiers will be sent by boat probably 25,000-40,000 in waves. 50,000 more will be dragons in waves of 1,000-4,000.

Gen. Lee: Okay. General Briones, hold back a little please we still want minimal casualties. I trust you can still use good enough strategies so you can take towns without people dieing and buildings getting damaged. I'm going to go check the situation in S.E. China. Stay here General Nox.

Soldier: Uh general, there aren't enough boats left.

Gen. Nox: What how come?

Soldier: Ahhh, uhhh its b,b,because of the tsunami that hit sssirrr.

Gen. Nox: Oh no, I forgot about that. Should we still continue with this?... Yes, we have to. We will need help from allies if we want any chance in taking over the Phillipines. Troops will be sent in slower and probably less than I thought we could send. Lets hope our men that are there already can handle it.

"Will you help JKD and Mauiwowee in the Phillipines?"
"We will send help but were a bit stretched now. Troops from South-East Russia have just arrived and need some rest and refitting. This will take about 1RL day. We can however send up to 6 Marine divisions (150000 men) who arrived from the Kurils and Sachalin. They're very experienced in Jungle warfare, after being put in action in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. Also for support 2 carriergroups of the 1st fleet will be sent for close cover. Strategic bombers can give support from our bases in the Sarawak."
"Thank you for your reaction."
"Thank you."

We can help you in the Phillipines and with the Tsunami. We will send 5 hospitalships up the coast towards the regions which were damaged. For the Phillipines we can send 6 marine divisions and 2 carriergroups. We can give support with our strategic bombers from the island of Sarawak.

OOC: I just want to make something clear: NO ONE BUT ME AND WARTA ENDOR IS ALLOWED TO HAVE X-32's and X-36a's. Mauwii said he has one, which is impossible, because there is no way in hell i would let him have one. My nation is the inventor of that plane and any other nation in possesion of one besides me and warta endor is doing so illegally. There should be rules against that kind of shit, and i ar REALLY pissed off! I DEVELOPED the X planes in this game so they are MINE! NOT Mauwii's!.

ooc. The X-32 he speaks of is a total differnt plane, check the picture. Its just a misunderstanding.

OOC: Gee whiz, calm down. Actually if you'll go back and check you'll see that my "Head Rush" aircraft is an X plane as well, an X-48 to be exact (do a google search) and I developed it and re-branded it as the X-39 (see post #1331) way before you developed your X-32's and X-36. It only stands to reason I would have some sort of plane that I designated as an x-32 as well. It's my spy plane and has no relationship to your model though. If it is really that big a deal I'll give it another designation from now on. I was really just making the point to TGSR that I had information about his new giant aircraft. Get a grip, I'm not trying to steal your stuff, I don't need to. But recognize that I developed X-planes first with my X-39 "Head Rush" planes.
BTW, Please recall also that my message was a secret one to TGSR and you should have no idea what I said about X-32's in it. I guess your rant is a OOC: one though and not an IC complaint.

IC:

In an announcement today, the Mauiwoweean airforce revealed for the first time the existence of a plane, designated during testing as the X-32. In order to avoid confusion with naming conventions and the nation of Vineyard's aircraft, the planes have been re-designated as X-42's. The planes are designed to function as high speed, High altitude fighters, but also appear to have spy plane capabilities as well. Full details are classified, but here is a picture of the plane.

---Zagreb News--- Late last night, one million troops took up positions on the Iraqi- Irani border. X-36a's began to fly into Wittier- territory and began to drop leaflets down to the peoples stating that thier gov't has led them wrong all of these years and told them that it was in their best intrests to aid the Tenebrocosian troops. Also, a final warning by the gov't of Vineyard was issued to the Whittier- gov't stating that they should surrender. Thousands of SA-2 Guidline SAMs were rooling off productuion lines ahd are being placed all over the different territories. A detcahment of 15,000 ZG-844s are being dispatched to Iraq.

The conquest in Saudi Arabia is going well, as the 2 million man army (designated first army) has seized the city of Al Wajh without incident. Intellegence points out that Saudi Arabia has abandoned all cities except Mecca, hoping to rally support through that action. Intellegence also states that there are several thousand foriegn firgters flocking to Mecca. On top of Al Wajh being seized by the first army, the marine army has seized the city of Al Hufuf without incident as well. they are currently camped outside of Riyadh, awaiting the second army of 1 million men after they too seized a city without incident (they seized Al Sulayyil.).

In other news, the Hervatska space agency in Northern Iraq is up to something big. they are inviting forign dignitaries for the first time to enter a restricted access military area (top secret stuff is stored there) A couple dozen Objects of the same apparent shape are being towed out to the launchpads.

My server died last night, so I haven't been online for a while. I'll continue our peace talks re: Africa as soon as I can. In the mean time I can say OOC that it would be peace between us.

In Hannibal Missouri

"Ok sir, the last of them are holed up in the old Courthouse. We figure there are about 200 of 'em tops. They may have an RPG or two, but primarily their limited to rifles and shotguns, maybe a few machine guns, but not many."

"Surely they know that they're gooses are cooked in their. The place is surrounded, what do they hope to do? committ mass suicide?"

"Sir, I don't know, but I'd suggest one or two rounds from the 105mm smoothbore ferrets will take of it."

"I agree Sgt., give the order to fire 2 rounds and then offer a chance to surrender"

The rebels actually lasted for 5 rounds, 74 of them were killed before they offered their surrender. The flag of Norleans was raised and the conquest of Missourri was total and complete. Casualties were 684 Norleans soldiers and 2,489 Missourri militia-men. 1,373 Norlean soldiers were wounded and 4,589 Missourri Militia-men were wounded. Rebuilding of the state was underway with another 75,000 troops all told gathered in St. Louis to begin an invasion into Illinois territory. Another 5,000 were stationed at the Northern Missourri Border pending the end of peace talks with Lachenburg in Iowa.

Meanwhile, in Nebraska

"Are we ready captain?"

"yes sir, we've got 60,000 men all total on the border into South Dakota"

"Good, I want to give the peace talks a day more. If they are succesful, we can grab another 30,000 men out of Iowa as a second wave before we march into South Dakota. Do we have updated reports from Sharina on the bombing runs they made and likely targets for our forces?"

"They should be coming in as we speak General, I'll go check."

"Good, This needs to be by the book."

Further south, in St. Croix

"Go, go go!!! dammit!"

rat-a-tat-tat

WHAM!!! BOOM!!

"Up there, on the roof, take 'em aaaggghhh!"

"I want choppers to take out that hotel balcony, now!!"

"run!"

"help me, my arm"

"Medic!!!"

"god the smoke, I can't see for shit."

"landmines, the fuckers mined the beach watch out!!"

aaaaaahhhhhhh

"Got him!!"

With that the invasion of Christiansted had begun.

That's great, you're way to much for me!


OOC: he should be easy to take now, his server is dead! :D

ooc. Tsunami? OMFG!!!

WENN breaking news

A Tsunami has hit Thailand and The Malayan Peninsula. Also the Sarawak has been affected but with light damage. Government officials report 7435 dead and some 12680 wounded. Hospitals can take the massive flow of victims and 5 (ok, I now its not much as Mauiwowee but hey, hes twice as large:)) hospital ships will be sent to our ally and Neighbour JeetKuneDo to help him.

Dear Sirs,

We thank you for your help, but we cannot accept. We know Malaysia was also hit by the Tsunami. Anyways, victims are already in hospitals. As of help for the Phillipines, we do not want to bomb the country. We do not need help from your troops, at least not yet. If more help is needed we will then accept. Thanks anyways for your generosity.

Sinceraly,
Arbiter Katsumoto

JKD News--- Relief is going okay. Survivors homes have been unfotunatly lost but have been reinbursed of what they lost and have been given temporary homes. Victims were rushed to hospitals and are expected to all leave in a month with many fully recovered. Bodies are being buried and once it is finished, formal funerals will be scheduled. We spoke with Professor Kim and he has informed us that radars and meters have been installed in the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea. He has also told us that they are thinking of installing meters and satellites for all of Oceania, but the cost would be too great for just them. It could be a year until the Malay Peninsula is turned into arable land and even longer for cities to be rebuilt.

1,000 confused soldiers were loaded onto a large cargo ship heading for Ascension, a small pathetic island that is midway between South America and Afirca. The island's pop is 1,250; so expected resistance is minimal. The island is located a lttle below the equator.

Gen. Briones: Okay men, we make a full charge on Olongapao! Once enemy soldiers are spotted fire. Then on my command we charge into the city.

Warriors marched towards the town. But they weren't wielding firearms, instead they were wielding katanas. Behind them warriors with bows and arrows. Behind them were a couple lines of men with firearms. Archers attacked soldiers and the samurai charged into the town. The enemy used more firearms but were severly outnumbered. A gruesome battle took place but JeetKuneDese warriors conquered.

----Later that night----

Gen. Briones: Good, Olongapao has been taken. We will rest and regroup and leave for Manila at dawn. Information Specialist report!

Info. Spec.: Estimated deaths are uh wow, 128,000 dead 174,000 wounded.

Gen. Briones: What?! That many?! Dam why did we have to use degraded weapons. If we used our weapons, we would have one easily and much less casualities. I'll have to do that on the capital then. Oh well, fine, is there anything else?

Info. Spec.: Yea the captured dragons have been rescued sir.

Gen. Briones: Okay just I still can't believe they did get captured, they're such noobs! Is that it?

Info. Spec.: Yes sir, allied forces should arrive by noon tomorrow.

Gen. Briones: Okay, get info on Manila, bring it to me, then you can get some rest.

OOC: katanas? Are you serious? If you need guns, tell me!

A medium sized city became shouded in darkness as five distinct shapes blocked the sunshine. The terrifying roar from the five objects could easily be heard over fifty kilometers away, inspiring terror inside every South Dakota rebel, citizen, and animal. Several seconds later, the objects became visible, and in doing so, made themselves known as Sharina's titantic Kongabac III Ultra-Heavy bombers.

The pilot of the bomber at point radioed his fellow bombers with several flicks of communication switches. He began speaking in a quick voice, as his concentration was focused on keeping the bomber on course.

"We have arrived at Target Beta.

Commence Zero-Grade."

Abruptly, the metal undersides of the massive aircraft began creaking open as hydraulics began straining in doing their duty. Thick armor plating could be seen as the doors themselves had literally five inches thick of solid armor set in two layers.

Machinery began whirring as four guided bomb racks clicked into place as the doors opened wider and wider. Garguantan 25,000 pound bombs began rolling forward to the door's opening maw, and a series of beeps, clicks, and snaps could be heard as the guided bombs began dropping out of the door. Similiar scenes could be seen occurring under the bellies of the other four Kongabac III bombers.

Several moments passed as the bombs painted their targets with triangulation lasers, established their trajectories from their onboard computers, and engaged their fins to manipulate aerodynamics. A slight whooshing sound is heard as the bombs engaged their limited propulsion systems.

Several more moments later, the medium city erupted in fire, smoke, and brimstone. Skycrapers toppled, apartment buildings cracked like eggshells, hundreds of cars, light poles, signs, and literally everything at ground level melted as an gigantic inferno swept through the unfortunate city. Thousands of rebels holed up inside buildings, ready for urban warfare, never got their wish.

The Dakotaians never knew what hit them. Survivors in the city's suburbs tell of a gigantic plume of smoke. The ground shook for dozens of kilometers. Night became day for several minutes, as animals woke up from their dwellings under the false impression that morning came.

The suburbs braced for a shockwave that never came. People did not suddenly become sick, or began losing their hair. Cell structures and DNA did not suddenly begin mutating.

Once the smoke cleared up after three days, where there was once a city, there was now a massive heap of melted metal, glass, and stone. Out of dozens of large buildings, only several remained. Multiudes of fortifications were reduced to slag in a matter of seconds. The Dakota militia were incinerated in an instant, while survivors suffocated to death from lack of oxygen or smoke inhalation.

Several cities across South and North Dakota suffered this fate, changing the course of Dakota history and culture forever.

Biker gangs and motorcycle rallies were wiped out in Sturgis. The historical Sturgis rallies would switch to another city, as Sturgis lost nearly all of its historical and cultural value, as it is now nothing more than a glorified crater.

Tourists will look elsewhere for a new "gateway" to the Black Hills after the destruction of Rapid City.

Sioux Falls would need years of reconstruction before it even resembles its former economical, industrial, and tourist center in South Dakota.

South Dakota would need another capital as Pierre suffered extensive damage from the barrages of massive 25,000 pound napalm bombs.

A new railroad hub would have to be built outside of Fargo, as well as new medicinal and financial centers. The rebuilding of Fargo would take a while.

Grand Forks lost much of its farming, military, and railroad infrastructure. The rivers nearby would be saturated with napalm chemicals, and would contiminate nearby lands for a while without a massive clean up effort.

A new administrative center would need to be built in North Dakota while Bismarck is under reconstruction. Communications has been disrupted across the Dakotas with the loss of Bismarck, due to it being a telecommunications and administrative center.

The morale of the rebels, civilians, and populace of the Dakotas had finally been broken with the massive blanket napalm bombing of their major cities. They were in a shell shocked state, as they tried to cope with the enormous loss in such a short period of time.

Once the massive bombing raids by the 150 meter long Kongabac III Ultra-Bombers, capable of carrying 1,000,000 pounds of ordiance and 200,000 pounds of armor plating, ceased, thousands of Sharina ground troops began rushing swiftly into the multiple breaches in the Dakota defense lines. The word 'Blitzkrieg' took on a new meaning, thanks to the Kongabac III bombers.

OOC: katanas? Are you serious? If you need guns, tell me!
No we are not in need of guns. We have plenty. We used katanas to degrade our weaponry for honour. They have less warriors and not many firearms.

Duke Long thought about it. He liked this man, a no nonsense, "to the point" kind of man - just like the Duke. He couldn't go with it all, but the leader of Lachenburg had guts in the face of an overwhelming military, he stood his ground. This man and his country could be of aid in the future. Thinking about this he said: "Good, no BS, I like that give me a minute or so." Turning to his aides he conferred in whispers for a few minutes and then said:

"OK, here is our counter-offer"

1. No problem, we'll do it within 5 days from treaty ratification in fact.

2. We'll withdraw completely from Iowa and you may remain where you are so long as Zuhair Malik's "humanitarian" aid is ousted immediately upon agreement as to terms.

3. We won't pay diddley-squat for reparations. You didn't make yourself known in this territory until after we began our invasion and your tactics hurt us as much as we could possibly be said to have hurt you. On the other hand, if you'll agree to a "free" zone such as we have with Sharina and grant Sharina and Norleans the rights in Iowa that we have in Nebraska and Colorado, we can assure you that private industry willl make sure your land is taken care. In other words, join the Colorado and Nebraska agreement and make it the Colorado, Nebraska and Iowa treaty. We can assure you Sharina will join in this part of the agreement.

4. See the above. You can have Sioux City for yourself on a general political basis, just join Sharina and I and get Zuhair Malik and their alllies out!!!!!!

5. To quote my wife, the Duchess of Norleans,: "Talk to the Hand!" The Mississippi River belongs to us, and us alone! We will agree, however, in the interests of peace, to grant you the same rights to travel on the river that are granted to members of S.H.I.T. (Southern Hemisphere Import Treaty). This means, easy and cheap commercial shipping, but military control belongs to Norleans.

"OK, let him consider this" thought the Duke, "He's no wussey, but now he knows I'm not either. On the other hand, here are the concessions he needs to be happy and get that middle eastern bastard Zuhair Malik and his Vineyardian ally out of north america. An ally with me and Sharina is a help. An enemy must be destroyed. It's his turn to choose."

OOC: Glad to have you back. Hope you had a good new year!!


Bradley knew a response of this sort was to expected and he spun around in his chair to speak to his generals, now patiently sitting beside him. After several moments of harsh whispers and irritant gestures, Bradley and his aide turned around to address the Duke.


" I'm glad to know your highness doesn't take any bull-shit but I think we can do a little bit better. Zuhair Malik's forces shall be withdrawn, if we are granted access to the Colorado-Nebraska Treaty. Furthermore, to help reconstruct our devastated economy, Iowa will agree to grant generous land concessions, along with tax-exemptions if Norlean businesses invest into our economy.

As for the Mississippi River, we demand free passage through the river for merchant vessels. Furthermore, I believe it would be in our best interests to allow Iowan patrol craft to work in tandem with Norleian vessels to help consolidate the Northern areas of the river."

Picking up a clear glass pitcher full of lemonade, Bradley pours yet another glass of the sweet, cool liquid. Before setting the pitcher down, he looks up at the Duke.

"Lemonade?"

No we are not in need of guns. We have plenty. We used katanas to degrade our weaponry for honour. They have less warriors and not many firearms.

...and you got a ton of weapons from me...

OOC: my main computer has bit the big one. I'm on my office's crappy P II laptop without the charger and a 14% battery charge #$%^$&$^&$@@ Microsoft and their "great" OS.

Anyway, it will be late tommorrow, at the earliest before I can do anything substantial since I have a funeral almost 3 hours away I have to go to.

Lachenburg, nice reply to Norleans, He'll get back with you ASAP.

All kinds of stuff is going on the pacific. JeetKundeDo, if you need to, take control of my troops and ships in the Phillipines to take control, They were sent for your use anyway.

Warta Endor - you got my TG I assume, do what needs to be done.

Finally, sorry Koppargergs for making a joke about your server crashing, I guess I got what I deserved. :(

---Zagreb News--- Late last night, one million troops took up positions on the Iraqi- Irani border. X-36a's began to fly into Wittier- territory and began to drop leaflets down to the peoples stating that thier gov't has led them wrong all of these years and told them that it was in their best intrests to aid the Tenebrocosian troops. Also, a final warning by the gov't of Vineyard was issued to the Whittier- gov't stating that they should surrender. Thousands of SA-2 Guidline SAMs were rooling off productuion lines ahd are being placed all over the different territories. A detcahment of 15,000 ZG-844s are being dispatched to Iraq.

The conquest in Saudi Arabia is going well, as the 2 million man army (designated first army) has seized the city of Al Wajh without incident. Intellegence points out that Saudi Arabia has abandoned all cities except Mecca, hoping to rally support through that action. Intellegence also states that there are several thousand foriegn firgters flocking to Mecca. On top of Al Wajh being seized by the first army, the marine army has seized the city of Al Hufuf without incident as well. they are currently camped outside of Riyadh, awaiting the second army of 1 million men after they too seized a city without incident (they seized Al Sulayyil.).

In other news, the Hervatska space agency in Northern Iraq is up to something big. they are inviting forign dignitaries for the first time to enter a restricted access military area (top secret stuff is stored there) A couple dozen Objects of the same apparent shape are being towed out to the launchpads. Although this news agency has no idea what they are because they are coverd by some sort of cloth, insiders are speculating that these might be the Sunbursts.

In response to the dropping of leaflets over Whittier territory without permission and the hostile buildup on the Iran/Iraq border, Whittier formally issues a declaration of war against the government in Vineyard.
200 Cruise Missiles have been launched at Vineyard troops positions along the Iraq border. 100 Cruise Missiles have been launched at Vineyard troops inside Saudi Arabia.

Meantime, in response to the failure of Tenebrocis to leave Whittier territory when asked, war has been formally declared. 2,000 F111 Bombers, 1234 Apache Gunships have taken to the air to attack Tenebrocis positions in Iran. 2 million infantry have have been begun their assualts on Tenebrocis forces inside Iran.
The Whittier Navy has deployed to the Persian Gulf and has begun mining operations of the whole gulf. The gulf is being mined with P-39A's, a smart mine that detects hostile ships and destroys them. Only Whittier has the codes for these mines. When that task was done, 34 Whittier subs were ordered to hunt down and destroy any and all ships belonging Vineyard and Tenebrocis.

Meantime the Secretary General has ordered up 20 million reservists. Pundits on TV and Radio remarked on the false accusations contained in Vineyard's leaflets which weren't fooling anyone. The people of Whittier believed the real reason their nation was under attack was conquest. (Whittierites being 97% literate).

Meantime:
A desert camo humvee carrying a white flag drove to the Iraqi border. When it arrived a short stalky, bald man got out. In his hands was a message for Vineyard forces and the Vineyard govt.
Text:
Your government is leading you to disaster. Your government is guilty of sparking a world wide war, engaging it acts of terrorism, treachery, and dispicable acts of genocide. We welcome any Vineyard forces that wish to defect. They will be well treated in Whittier.

The 1st Armored Division moved into position, swinging the turrets onto their target (an illegal Tenebrocis encampment) as their targeting systems locked onto the targets inside the encampment. Major Williams didn't really care for massacering sheep. But the Tenebrocis govt. had left the Whittier armed forces no choice. The deadline had come and gone and there was no sign of withdrawal.

In the city of Zagoss, the civilian population was effieciently evacuated 50 miles away. Away in the Thekian region, 3 objects left their silos and streaked throught troposphere on their way into space. Travelling at Mach 5 it took them only 12 minutes to reach their target, a major military installation inside Tenebrocis and the Tenebrocis capital.

In space, Z342, a defensive unit of the Pandora's Box system, locked on to its target, a Tenebrocis command and control sattelite. The searing white beam of light took only 5.2 milliseconds to contact its target which exploded in a silent expanding ring of debris, preceded by a bright silent fireball.


Message to the Tenebrocis regime:
Text: You have 5 hours to surrender unconditionally or face the total loss of your entire nation and armed forces.

12 Commanches began flying over Tenebrocis troop positions dropping leaflets:
Your government has abandoned you to hostile foriegn land so that it may pursue imperialist ventures elsewhere in the world. It does not care about you. Your government has left you to be surrounded and slaughtered like lambs. As we care not for slaughtering sheep, we will give you two choices, you can lay down and abandon all arms and surrender, or you can defect, those defecting will be granted amnesty. The third choice is death. The choice is yours.


In Susa, 15 missiles left their pads for Vineyard controlled Iraq and 5 more left for Vineyard forces inside Saudi Arabia. The missiles contained biological warheads containing a lethal airborne strain of smallpox.

In Welt Missile Base, one lone missile was fired at the heaviest illegal Tenebrocis encampment, its warhead contained mustard gas. The locals natives in the area having been immunized from mustard gas during the height of the Whittier healthcare system.


OOC: don't think that I don't suspect that Tenebrocis is your puppet.

High in earth orbit 5 Thor's hammer units moved silently over Tenebrocis territory.
With stealth and precision they launched huge titanium rods at the Tenebrocis cities of Tblisi, Baku, Minsk, Tashkent, and Kiev.
The 25 Apollo Satallites moved into position locking on their targets in earth orbit. They targeted all space craft bearing the Tenebrocis symbol. Apollo 15 targeting the Tenebrocis craft that fired the laser that attacked Tehran.
As they moved into position, the guidance systems went through the automatic weapons firing countdown and automatic systems routine tests. This all took milliseconds. Then in blinding flashes of light followed by expanding rings of space debris, the Tenebrocis laser weapon, along with several Tenebrocis command and control, communications, and spy satellites were obliterated in the blink of an eye.
War had been declared, and Whittier would gouge out the eyes of its enemies.

In a message to Vineyard, Apollo 31 locked onto a Vineyard C&C sattalite over Iran, firing a white beam of light which incinerated the sattalite.

Telgos 1 through 5 positioned themselves over Vineyard territories, jamming the nation's telivision, radios, and wi fi connections. A message appeared on screens across the nation: Our destruction of your satallite is a warning to your government. Do not intervene for Tenebrocis. If you do, you will suffer their fate. Remove your troops from the south Iraq/Iranian border. If you do not, you will lose them for good.
The message lasted a whole minute.

Further retaliation was coming.

Nice posts, Whittier.


Any response to my massive napalm bombing of Dakota cities, guys? I'm trying to wrap up the Dakotas quick, crushing resistance as fast as I can. That way, my army will be free to focus on the recently DEAT'ed Yevon's territories in Canada, then wrap up aganist Kormanthor, then secure everything gained in North America.

Telstar 2, having slumbered for 5 years suddenly beeped to life. After 5 minutes of systems checks it began broadcasting a message to the enemies of Tenebrocis and Vineyard at top secret frequencies.
Text: Today in response to imperialist aggression, we have begun eliminating the Tenebrocis capacity to wage war. In response to hostile moves by Vineyard against our nation, we have fired "warning'" shots at their forces. Due to provactive troop movements in Iraq, we were forced to launch a preemptive strikes on their forces in that land. Non Vineyard and nonTenebrocis forces in Iraq and the rest of the middle east are not being targeted and indeed our missiles and aircraft carry smart weapons. As Vineyard and Tenebrocis have engaged in acts of aggression around the world, Whittier offers an alliance to all nations seeking to liberate their fellow men of Vineyard and Tenebrocis rule and atrocities. A message has been sent to Tenebrocis and to Vineyard demanding they halt their imperialist actions around the world or lose not only their capacity to wage war, but their whole nations. It would be unfortunate if the world was forced to engage in regime change in Vineyard and Tenebrocis. From this point on,due to our common cause, all nations will now be protected from Tenebrocis and Vineyard WMD's by Pandora's Box Space Anti-IBM Defense System.

Nice posts, Whittier.

That way, my army will be free to focus on the recently DEAT'ed Yevon's territories in Canada, then wrap up aganist Kormanthor, then secure everything gained in North America.
ooc: thanks. Sorry bout the lack of character detail, was never good at character rps. That and its 12:15 am here and I need to get up in 6 hours.

IC: The government of Whittier formally offers an alliance to Sharina against common enemies and common threats.

Meantime, more Sattalites bearing the Tenebrocis emblem were being obliterated by the Pandora's Box Defense Network.

OOC: my main computer has bit the big one. I'm on my office's crappy P II laptop without the charger and a 14% battery charge #$%^$&$^&$@@ Microsoft and their "great" OS.

Anyway, it will be late tommorrow, at the earliest before I can do anything substantial since I have a funeral almost 3 hours away I have to go to.

Lachenburg, nice reply to Norleans, He'll get back with you ASAP.

All kinds of stuff is going on the pacific. JeetKundeDo, if you need to, take control of my troops and ships in the Phillipines to take control, They were sent for your use anyway.

Warta Endor - you got my TG I assume, do what needs to be done.

Finally, sorry Koppargergs for making a joke about your server crashing, I guess I got what I deserved. :(

ooc. Well, I wanted to wait for the "rest and refitting" of my troops from SE Russia to be done.

WENN

Goodmorning ladies and gentlemen, last night 6 marine divisions (150000 men) and 400000 troops have landed on various islands of the Mollucas archipelago. One of our journalists was with the invading troops and made a report. Here's Jack Mickson and Nick Chau as camara man.

2300 hours, Island Labda (codename, you won't find it on a map:D)
The first wave is now bording the landing craft. Cruisers and destroyers have made a naval bombardment which began since 1900 hours. At this moment its quiBOOOOM! BANG!!!!
Ok the naval bombardment started again and I've got to go.

2310 hours
We're near the shore now and everything is very silent. Marine, is this your first landing?
"Hell no! I'm ol' marine sir! I've been in the corp since New Guinea campaign, yes sir!"
What do you expect from this landing?
"Well, casualties should be low, but there're always surprises."
"OK boys one minute till landing!"
We're going now, probably won't report till were inland so.."

0032 hours

The landing went easy and smooth. We're now moving inland, little resistence is met. We have heard spora Retetetetet!!!! poof swoosh INCOMING!!!! BANG!
OK, were under heavy fire now, and Nick (camara man) take a shot of that building! Fire's coming from there!
"Ok, want a blowpipe here!"
"reporting sir!"
"Aim at that window son!"
swoosh BANG!!!
This was a short but heavy battle, we got 3 wounded and we've blown a building to smithereens.

0130 hours

I'm here at the reporters APC. This is the last report I'll give. Almsot the entire island is under our control now. There's still some sporadic gunshots, but for the rest its a very easy campaign. I'll end the report with an old marine poem.

When I go to heaven,
to St. Peter I'll tell.
Another marine reporting sir,
I've served my time in hell........

Well, nice report of the Moluccas. On the other islands the resistence should be light. We will come with more later.

secret and encrypted message to Whittier

Dear sirs:
We support your efforts to do away with the war mongering capabilities of Vineyard and his allies. YOu should note that Vineyard has an ally by the name of Zuhair Malik which has recently placed several thousand troops in the state of Iowa in North America. We believe our ally, Norleans, will be dealing with them shortly. Also, Vineyard has a ally by the name of Woody the Woodpecker which controls Jamaica. Woody has permitted Vineyard to maintain a military presence on this island and ship building facilities which in the recent past produced some 20 carrier groups for Vineyard. It is our studied opinion that these countries will come to the aid of Vineyard in one way or another and also represent a threat to world peace.
We have some troops and equipment we are able to free up to assist you in this matter should you so desire, please let us know how we may be of help to you.
Sincerely,
General Jack T. Ripper
Mauiwowee military chief of staff


OOC: I guess under the puppet rule Zuhair and Woody won't actually get involved in the war, but I wanted to make sure you knew who else was out there. These 2 are puppets of Vineyard. I don't think Tennebrecosis is a puppet though (I could be wrong I guess). RP is good.

Sharina, you Dakota's attacks were good too. I don't have much time and I'm working on this stupid laptop still, accept that a bunch of Norleans troops are pouring into south dakota out of Nebraska after the bombings to gain the control on the ground for you and Norleans.

-Telegram to all nations- the incresingly agressive nation of Whittier- has attacked Vineyardian and Tenebrocosis troops after declaring war on them and suddenly attacking. he is gravely outnumbered, yet any assistance in his destrustion will be appreciated. The allies of our gov't are stirring and will send aid shortly. Also, please caution your citizens to be aware of falling satilites because...


Millitary Bulliton- 5 million troops are marsheling in Iraq after some 300 cruise missles were shot down over Iraqi territory. one missle got by and landed on a civilian target in North Iraq. North iraq is controled by both Vineyard and TGSR so TGSR's aid is expected in this war. Also, the conquests in Saudi Arabia are going smoothly. our massive fleet of 20 carrier fleets is seeking out the enemy

- Somewhere in space - ::Alright, lets give these sunbursts their first taste of combat!::
::Combat sir? It seems more like shooting down poor defenceless satilites!::
::Yes it is, but they have a pandora satilite somewhere around here... also some strange satilite that shot one of ours down... we have 50 subursts attacking the pandoras anti nuke system, and we are supposed to attack that weird satilite... there it is!::
:: All fighters, launch all of your space- to- space missles at it, then go to lightspeed and we will meet up at the Mars *crackel*... understod?::

::Yes sir!::
* 200 space to space missles streaked out at the poor defenceless stailite just as their launchers dissaeared after they became untracable blurs*

-Mountain Silo-
"Pandora's satilite down! Its down! Launch 'Swift retialation!'"
"Yes sir!"
*a missle operator hit a few switches and the missle streaked off, aimed at a whittier- meeting place... where all of the reservists were meeting up. then 99 more cruise missles streaked out of their silos, aimed at various whittier- armies.*

ooc: See? Whittier- has no nuke protection now! there is no way in hell any satilite can shoot down, even dodge a sunbrusts attack or the sunburst itself. If whittier- launches a nuke, then i will launch so many nukes, he will be shiting nukelear waste!

Algiers, Algeria

"Hello Mr. Wasinski. Welcome to Algeria!" said General Andersson.

He continued, "Oh, and I'm sorry to hear that Gen. Lao didn't make it through this war. I'm glad to hear that you withdraw your troops from Mali and Western Sahara.

Just for the sake of this meeting I'm going to tell you what I would have been asking for if you haven't retreated: Leave this two countries immediately – or we will force you to leave the whole continent of Africa.
Uhhmm… Have you troops already leaved, or when will that happen?"

OOC: Just a short one, I'm going to bed now. I've fixed a temporary server here now…

-Zagreb News- Ascension, an island midway betewwn South America and Afirca has been 'conquered' today after 1,000 troops landed on the beach and marched into the town. All 1,225 of its residents submitted to Vineyardian control. Now the nation of Vineyard is building a fort in the center of the island on top of the highest mountain. They are also engaged in building a larger port.

The conquest of Saudi Arabia is going smoothly, with every city but mecca being conquered. Thousands of terrorists and foriegn fighters are in the city as well as millions of pilgrims. The nation of vineyard is weary about attacking the city due to the large cizilian presence. Any civilian casuilties would result in unrest amongst the muslim populace. The nation of vineyard is seeking a diplomatic solution as we speak...

-In front of Mecca-
A fat man carrying a large breifcase stoped outside the city gates. He loked up. Several armed men were glaring at his white flag and guestering wildly. He smiled up at them. He loved being a diplomat, it sure beat being a dishwasher!
"Well, hello there chaps!"
The men just stared at him silently.
"Im with the vineya..." before he could finish his sentence the men pulled out their guns and started firing at him, killing him instantly. Apparently they understood what the word Vineyard ment... enemy.

I don't control woody.
No, he doesn't. Woody is another kid in our school. I find it kind of cheap though that he never posts anything in the forums and just agrees when Vineyard asks him stuff. So maybe get him to post stuff instead of you just saying he gave you permission.

Uhhh, where's the rp for this? All I remeber is that you sent troops to an island that had little population and gdp and you expected little resistance. Sorry if there is any mixup.

Diary of Ken Watanabe---

This is the second voice recording of Ken Watanabe.
I was able to get back in time to play a part in the attack on Olongapo. I have been assigned to the 3rd battalion of the 7th regiment. There are approximately 50 regiments with each consisting of around 20,000 warriors with 10 batallions. A certain man named Seargant Kim leads my battallion. I am unsure of how many dragons have been assigned in each regiment but I believe there are 20 with a couple that I have seen who are nameless. 5 regiments at a time should be transported to Manilla in very quick waves.

We have just been informed that the first of six Mauiwowee fleet should arrive a little after the 3rd wave has been sent. An alarm bell and music of instruments sounded The sun has just come up and its time to go. Most warriors have already been awake for the past hour. Sea is calm today and it seems like it will be sunny but not too hot. There is some sort of peace and tranquility out at sea on a day like this.

The speakerbox spoke.
"We are approaching land. It is 9:16 AM."
"Okay colonels, you know what to do. The first five regiments will charge into the capital. The other five will go in waves ten minutes appart. This will be followed every ten minutes. Navy commanders of the last five regiments will patrol until the shore has been taken in what is expected 20 minutes."

Great I get to wait on this boat for another 20 minutes. I'll just stay in my room, but maybe i'll open the window. Lets see i'm using a SIG 552 Commando, let me put it together. I'll have it in burst fire mode when in close combat and semi-auto when using the scope.

Sniper rifle and machine gun fire could be heard what sounded like it was comming from both sides. Slivers could be seen heading towards the Phillipines. There were bombers on the other side but were quickly taken out from Slivers and newly anti-aircraft guns fitted onto navy ships. Ten minutes were up and a few boats were heading to shore.

OOC: I have a few questions, 1) is it woodpecker or wood pecker? And 2) Does anyone actually put their nation's symbol or w/e on their satellites? (I certainly do...err....wouldn't) and 3) Why does my post look sooo much bigger in word? :D

IC: *Official RPLPOB Statement*

The RPLPOB is saddened by the recent actions undertaken by the nations Vineyard, Whittier- and Tenebricos (sp?). We wish for this horrible war end as soon as possible and would be willing to host negotiations as a neutral party should the need arise.

OOC: I have a few questions, 1) is it woodpecker or wood pecker?
OOC:
1) It is Woody the wood pecker. At least according to TGSR's list. And that nations exists on NS.

OOC: I really should have said is it a wood pecker or a woodpecker,
I wanted to know if the gap should be there or not

OOC: I really should have said is it a wood pecker or a woodpecker,
I wanted to know if the gap should be there or not
OOC: The gap should be there: http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=woody%20the%20wood%20pecker

Uhhh, where's the rp for this? All I remeber is that you sent troops to an island that had little population and gdp and you expected little resistance. Sorry if there is any mixup.
ooc: I have 1,000 troops invade an island with a total pop of 1,225. I think they would just kinda surrender.

EDIT: And as you can see above, that is Woody the Wood Pecker.. His flag is definitely not my style.

Bradley knew a response of this sort was to expected and he spun around in his chair to speak to his generals, now patiently sitting beside him. After several moments of harsh whispers and irritant gestures, Bradley and his aide turned around to address the Duke.


" I'm glad to know your highness doesn't take any bull-shit but I think we can do a little bit better. Zuhair Malik's forces shall be withdrawn, if we are granted access to the Colorado-Nebraska Treaty. Furthermore, to help reconstruct our devastated economy, Iowa will agree to grant generous land concessions, along with tax-exemptions if Norlean businesses invest into our economy.

As for the Mississippi River, we demand free passage through the river for merchant vessels. Furthermore, I believe it would be in our best interests to allow Iowan patrol craft to work in tandem with Norleian vessels to help consolidate the Northern areas of the river."

Picking up a clear glass pitcher full of lemonade, Bradley pours yet another glass of the sweet, cool liquid. Before setting the pitcher down, he looks up at the Duke.

"Lemonade?"

"Lemonade sounds good" said the Duke, smiling to himself as he reached for the glass, he thought "We're gonna do this."

Turning to his advisors, he spoke in whispered tones, General Bradley could see mainly nodding of agreements, with few shaking of heads in dissension, primarily from what looked like military advisors. After a few minutes, the Duke turned back;

"General, I think you might go for this:
1. A POW exchange upon signing of the treaty;
2. Norleans will enter into a Nebraska-Iowa treaty that is the same as the Colorado-Nebraska agreement;
3. We can't make Sharina join in that agreement with Colorado, but we'll request that he do so and try to convince him that a Colorado-Nebraska-Iowa free trade, equal tax and civil rights zone is a good idea for all of us;
4. Zuhair Malik's troops will leave immediately;
5. With an Nebraska-Iowa agreement like the Nebraska-Colorado agreement, there should be no problem in getting Norleans' businesses to invest in Iowa and the government will encourage such investment and the establishment of business enterprises here by providing a few incentives of its own. I'm sure our Kansas and Nebraska agricultural interests would be more than interested in working with your farmers in Iowa and I'm sure our Texas cattle industry would have a similar interest in Iowan products;
6. Iowan merchant and cargo vessels will, as you requested, be granted free passage up and down the Mississippi, but will pay the standard port fees and tariffs in New Orleans for international imports and exports. However, they will be exempt from any such fees on internal shipping at the other Mississippi river ports such as St. Louis, Memphis, Natchz, Baton Rouge, etc.;
7. Norleans vessels will be granted similar concessions on Mississippi River waters which touch Iowa;
8. Joint patrols of the Mississippi River waters touching Iowa will be approved. However, your patrol craft will not venture south into other parts of the River.
9. In connection with the Nebraska-Iowa agreement, we wish to set up an air force base in Cedar Rapids, a small naval station on the Mississippi River and an army base in Des Moines. We'll grant you reciprocal rights in Nebraska for an air and army base if you desire and recognizing your country's needs, we will provide military advisors and training for you men and make equipment available at cost should you desire it; and
10. We'll formally recognize the government of Lachenburg as the controlling government for the territory of Iowa.

I think that that covers it all General Bradley and I would advise your agreement. My ministers aren't to happy with some of the concessions I'm proposing, but I've got other things on my plate right now and don't have the time nor inclination to be a hard ass."

Diary of Ken Watanabe---

The shore has been taken and we will charge into Manilla shortly. The 11th regiment should be joining us shortly. Seargant how many died in that battle?
"549 died, not to big as machine gun operators were sniped before they had a chance to fire. That number includes men who are too wounded to fight again, other wounded men are being treated right now. Its time to go."

Forces ran towards the capital. They shouted battle words in unity.
Gun fire immediatly started. Sliver missle inbouds attacked towers and were in battle with enemy airforce. Enemy tanks came but many were seen being blown up from anti-tank guns.

"Charge! Get ready for close quarter combat!:
"Sir, enemy naval ships are attacking ours and are arriving here."
"What, can we take them out?"
"Uhh, I don't think so. Oh wait, nevermind, it seems Mauiwoween fleet arrived early."

Sounds of horses were heard. 11th and 12th regiments are arriving late. Okay, close-quarters, gun in burst-fire mode wielded on left hand, katana unshiethed wielded on right hand.

"Wait, brigades three through seventh of the seventh regiment, were circling around right of the city. Quietly now."

Good, I knew our strategy would be more complicated than just going straight in. Towers! Towers! We need a missle strike! Not many guys here take them out. Huh, we're taking out a military airbase?
"Yes, seems slivers need help up there. Lets do this quickly before reinforcements arrive. There should good places to plant claymores. Blow that gate! Machine gun fire snipe them and try and get help from slivers!"

Hey, there's guys getting into other planes, I gotta stop them! Dam, too late some of them are already in planes. Hey, what do you think you're doing getting in that plane, taste my blade! Lets see, how do I operate this plane? Huh, its just like the ones i've played using in games as a kid.

Planes blew up and the brave warriors charged into the air base. 20 minutes later they ran out and explosions went off in the base. Uhh, okay, how and where do I land this thing now?

ooc: wow, horses? primitive.

anyhow i just saw this cool and funny vedio clip of the end of the world. I know, its random, but its hilarious!

Mali and Western Sahara, Africa

Incoming message from HQ in Algiers:

Orders: Continue deeper into the country. Expect minimal resistance. Warta Endor has withdrawn. If you find any Warta Endorian troops, take them as POW's – but be gentle. Stop at the borders, do not go further than Western Sahara/Mali. Secure borders. You have airplanes available for assistance if necessary.

End of orders.

Bradley looked at the Duke and a grin appeared on his un-kept face.

" Alright Duke Long, we have a deal. I suggest that a treaty of this sort should be signed as soon as possible, so we can get back to our normal affiars."

Pulling out his black fountian pen, Bradley called for his secretary, a small middle-aged fellow of little ambitions, and told him to type up a copy of this agreement.

Once finished, Bradley squabbled his signiture onto the crisp white paper and turned the agreement towards the Duke, hoping he would do the same. Finally, Bradley stood up from his seat and took a rather large stretch.

"It has been one hell of a day."

"It has been one hell of a day."


As he signed the treaty on behalf of Norleans the Duke said:

"General Bradley, it has been a pleasure. Few people are willing to cut the BS and deal with the "here and now" in treaty negotiations. We'll immediately send a communication on secure channels to Sharina about our agreement and appricate your hospitality. I would like to also extend a personal invation to Mardi Gras in New Orleans next month to you and invite your delegation to set up an embassy there. Finally, you lemonade is great, but, in celebration of our deal, try this:"

::: pulling a flask from his inside coat pocket, the duke poured a small amount of a light tan liquid into the iced lemondade he and General Bradley were drinking. The smell of Alcohol filled the room as soon as he undid the lid on his flask :::

"Some call it 'Lynchburg Lemonade,' I prefer to call it "The Good Stuff!" second only to a well made Mint Julep as the greatest drink in North American history.

With that the Duke pushed the signed treaty back across the table to General Bradley and took a drink.

"Oh, one more thing, before you do anything else under our agreement, please tell Zuhair Malik to get his people the fuck out of North America. You are a young nation, but a reasonable one. However, I doubt you know the extent to which Norleans and others despise Vineyard and his allies."

Leaning back in his chair, the Duke watched for a reaction. The deal was done, but you never knew the truth until you looked into a man's eyes.

Secret, Encrypted Communique'

TO: Sharina
FROM: Norleans
RE: Iowa
DATE: Today

Dear Sirs:

Please find the attached copy of the treaty we have entered into with the Nation of Lachenburg to end the dispute in Iowa. As you will note, a Nebraska-Iowa agreement identical to that we have with you regarding Nebraska and Colorado has been entered into. We would ask that you agree to sign off on this portion of the treaty and create a Nebraska-Colorado-Iowa agreement. The benefits to us all will be incredible. Just think, a Sharina air base in Iowa? Basically "free" access to the Mississippi river? A 'free trade zone' across the agricultural belt of North America? what else could you or I desire?

Sincerely,
Duke Huey P. Long III,
The Royal Duchy & Empire of Norleans

P.S. BTW, I've not spoken with the Duchess, Firebhrand, regarding matters while I've been in Des Moines, but our troops in Iowa are on their way to South Dakota and my Generals have informed me that at least 30,000 men with some 2,000 Abhrams tanks are headed to Pierre.

Good evening people! This is Asus Norton, your Live at 5, SidTV reporter coming to you from our studio in Sidney. In our top story tonight, Mauiwowee's invasion of Borneo and the islands of Northern Indonesia are going well. According to the palace, some 20,000 troops are on the ground in Sangkullrang and another 10,000 have landed in Samarinda with 5,000 more expected to land in Balikpapan and Kendawangan within the next 48 hours. Resistance has been minimal. According the the Palace, the collapse of Yevon of Spira has left the people without a clue as to what to do. Approximately 239 Mauiwoweean soldiers were killed by sniper and small arms fire as they marched into Sangkullrang and Samarinda. However, Mauiwoweean forces using Ferrets and targeted missiles strikes were able to take them out.

In the central islands of Northern Indonesia, the military reports that Manado and Gorontalo have been occupied as well with some 2,000 troops expected to make land fall in Kendari in the next 12 hours. Makassar is expected to be the "hold out" city for the remmants of Yevon of Spira's military, but "targeted strikes and an invasion force are in the plans" said military chief of staff, General Jack T. Ripper. "With the aid of Warta Endor, for which we are very grateful, Northern Indonesia doesn't have a prayer."

In other news, Mauiwoweean forces in the Phillipines, assisting JeetKuneDo, have landed and secured the island of Mindoro. Targeted missile attacks from our Head Rush aircraft in advance of a military land force invasion into Manila have begun. Sources report the Tsunami has weakened resistance there.

Speaking of which, the islands of Palawan seem to have been the hardest hit by the Tsunami which geologists confirm was the result of an 7.4 magnitude earthquake in the South China Sea near the Spratly Islands. According to reliable sources, the highest waves recorded as a result of this tragedy were in Palawan, and in Kudat, Malaysia and Nha Trang, Vietnam where they reached some 16 feet above normal. Current estimates put the total dead in all locations at 21,000 with some 9,400 missing and unnacounted for. Nothing like the Tsunami that claimed over 200,000 lives in the early part of the 21st century in Indonesia; "but serious enough that the world should be wary and generous with aid to the afflicted" said Queen Harriet in an exclusive interview in Sidney this afternoon.

We'll be back, after this commercial, with more information on the campaign in South East China.

"FIIIIRRRRRREEEEE!!!" the artillary commander screamed when the designated time for besieging Mecca came. Thousands of Vineyardian Napolm cannons opened up on the city. Soon, huge infernos were seen inside the city.
"keep up the bomardment till we reach the gate!"
"Yes sir!"
Gen Turkmanstazi drew his sword.
"Charge!!!!"
A hundred thousand soldiers with fixed bayonnets cheered, and then charged right behind their leader, Gen. Turkmanstazi.
A tank drove clear ahead of the surging crowd, driving quickly for the worn wooden gate protecting mecca. With no apparent defenders on the walls, the tank simply shot the gate apart, making a gateway into the burning city. Thousands opon thousands of troops ran into the city, bayonneting everyone in their way.


At the end of the day, there was not one person alive that was in the city at the start of the seige. Mecca was effectively looted and razed to the ground. Saudi arabia was now under control of Vineyard, and the yemni forign terrorists that fought for the Saudis were to be brought to justice...

ooc. Vineyard, I think you got a major problem if you destroy the Holy city of Mecca. Every Muslim will revolt and won't like it.

IC:-in Bosnia-
"Fuck, these muyslims are getting violent!"
"ARRRGGGHHH! They are throwing rocks!"
"Thats it. These fuckers are dying."
One of the soldiers protecting the governer of Bosnia's governers house yelled, as he let out a deadly hail of bullets. Soon, every soldier in his company opened fire as well, felling hundreds of muslims.

-Ston, Lord Vineyard's palace-
"Are you serious!?! Soldiers auctually shot their own neighbors!" the dictator fumed. His aids could tell that he was about to do something bad to those soldiers who opened fire.
His highnesses hands twitched. He let out an audiable sigh.
"I don't want to kill those soldiers... but some kind of diciplinary action must be taken."
"My lord... may i suggest lashings?"
"Yes, lashings are good. 15 lashings in a public square for all of them. 20 for their commander."
"Yes, my lord. I will have it ordered."
As the aid left the room, Lord Vineyard turned to his propoganda minister.
"I need to show the people of the world the reason for doing so. pull up the tapes of our ambassador being shot. Don't edit it. I want full gore to be visible. It will leave a mark in their minds."

"Yes, my lord. immediately." the stocky propoganda minister strolled out of the room while he uttered those words.

General Andersson is speaking unofficially with one of the other generals

"Have you heard what Vineyard did in Mecca?" said Andersson

"No, what happened?"

"He almost ruined the whole city. I think every muslim in the world will hate him for that."

"Holy (!) shit… But I don't really care. Maybe it's a good thing if many people and nations hates Vineyard?"

"Hmm… Haven't thought about it in that way. Yes you're right. This thing will certainly bring him more enemies, and that must be good. Maybe we should thank Vineyard for what he has done?"

"Yes, that would be fun… He he"

Imperial News Network

In a suprising turn of events, the High Command has ordered Libya and Tunis to go on DEFCON II. It is unknown why this is occuring, but it may be because of the instability of the region caused by Warta Endor. Experts speculate that Imperial Forces may take advantage of their defeat to liberate Warta Endoran provinces in Africa.

ooc. Doomingsland, you know that you have to go through Kopparbergs territory or go the long way round over sea?

Military HQ, Singapore

"Sir, this was in the INN this evening."
Gen. Jang:"Hmm, yes......What! O god damn me! What the hell did we do! Curse Lao and his stupid plan for expansion of our territory! I'll TG F.O.A.M. members for support. What are our troop strength in Africa?"
Gen. Hidinski:"3.5 million troops sir, there still there in case of a possible Kopparbergs attack."
Adm. Cranach:"We got 6th fleet there, and 65 subs. Not much though. The marines are stretched in Indonesia and other places. (garrison, no military actions) The 13th and the 15th marine div. are in the area."
Air Marshall:"Our Air force is on high alert sir and fully ready. We still got the F16I and the normal amount of Mig29 and Su37. We have 35 B2 and 25 B52 for offensive actions. BTW, a first squadron of 15 X-36a has entered service. We have further improved the stealth abilities."
Jang:"Great, we'll send reinforcements once we can."

***Secret Telegram to all F.O.A.M. members***

Doomingsland has taken hostile actions in Africa. Intelligence thinks an attack may come on Warta Endors possesions in Africa. We call for your support before we are attacked. What kind of support you give is up to you.

General Andersson on the phone with the Supreme Commander in Argentina:

"Yes, it came just a couple of minutes ago, I think we could need them."

"But there aren't many enemies left in Mali and Western Sahara as far as I know. " answered the SC.

"Not as we know about yet, but I expect to meet harder resistance in the southern parts of Mali."

"Okay, we have been allied with them before, in the first Vineyard crisis. I'll say it's ok. Take them in." said the SC. "And be careful out there!"

"Okay, thank you sir. Yes sir. Of course sir! I'll send a reply to Doomingsland." said Andersson and hanged up the phone. He began to write a reply to Doomingsland's message.

Message to Doomingsland High command
We have discussed this issue, and we may need help in the southern parts of Mali, so it would be great if you could send us troops to help us. You may pass through the southern parts of Algeria. In the first place we want you to enter Mali, not Western Sahara.

"Sir, this just came in from next door. They'd be delighted to have us."

"Good." replied General Marius, Commander in Chief Africa (CinCAf). "Order XI and XII Corps through, we'll help them."

"Yes sir."

The border with Tunis and Algeria became crowded as four heavy divisions thundered across the desert into Algeria. They would be rolling through for several hours until they hit Mali, there they would be briefed by the Kopparbergs commander, and prep for an assault.

-Ston, Lord Vineyards palace.-
Several hours of restless sleep passed for Lord Vineyard after Lord Vineyard made his orders known to the world and the butchering of the ambassador (who happened to be roman cathloic) at the gates of Mecca was shown to the world. It was only a little after he had finished his breakfast of bacon and... well... bacon; when the home defence secratary burst into the dining hall.
"My lord! I have grave news!"
His highness looked up, startled
"Roman Cathloics have taken to the streets and are attacking muslims!"
"Damn, how did this happen?"
"Well, the airing of the ambassadors death set off a few fanatics who gathered a following and now, to make a long story short, it basically involves all roman cathloic men in our empire now!!"
His highness didn't say anything at first, his gaze seemed fixed opon the secretary. Then he began to speek.
"Where all has this spread to?"
"So far Afircians are following the roman cathloics and attacking the muslims, and, of course, the central provinces are rallying to the overwelming majority of the Roman Cathloics. There are mass revolts in our muslim provinces, but they are being put down... both before they happen by our secret police, and by the millitary when these vilont demonstrations are occuring."
The dictator sat there, forehead wrinkled with thought.
"Ok, acidentially, there will be a lack of guards at the kalashnikov gun and ammo depot. There will also be no locks on the depot doors. Ignore all Roman Cathloic looting of the place. I don't want to let myself be seen as supporting them. Continue to put down the muslim revolts as you have been doing. Oh, yes. Let those fanatics and their bloody goal succeed. Help them out. I am, after all, on their side. Secretly, of course."

Cut from local news anchor to on the spot reporter

Robert, I'm here with our forces who have just crossed the border from Ponca Nebraska into Elk Point South Dakota. In a line stretching from Ponca to Springview Norleans has deployed over 35,000 troops with Tanks, Ferret APV's and attack class Ferrets to soldiers on foot. Several skirmishes have errupted as the troops push north, apparently intending to take the Eastern Half of South Dakota from Pierre to Clear Lake under their control. I'm also informed that a group of 5,000 soldiers has left Chadron, Nebraska headed to Rapid City, South Dakota and another group of 10,000 have already advanced from Rushville, Nebraska to as far north as Kadoka headed to Pierre, South Dakota. So far, in light of the extensive bombing campaign already carried out by our ally, Sharina, in South Dakota, the resistance has been scattered and unorganized. According to General Ballmer, who is in charge of this action, only about 125 or so Norleans service men have been killed and about 200 wounded. In the more or less flat territory, the Ferrets have been proving themselves more than capable to the task at hand, moving forces forward at a rapid clip. I'll be back tommorrow night with a report from the front lines and the "Italian Stallion" First Helicopter Battle Group which is covering the advance of our ground forces.

Back to you Robert.

In other news, we have word that 50,000 of our troops, on the heel of extensive bombing campaigns, have headed out of the East St. Louis Region on their way to Chicago, Illinois in the effort to secure that territory and access to the Great Lakes for Norleans. An additional 20,000 have left Hannibal Missourri headed to Springfield, Illinois in an effort to secure that city. We hope to have a reporter on the ground with those forces in time to bring you live coverage from those battle fronts in tommorrow's news.

Finally, in the Virgin islands, we have word that Chriastiansted has fallen and is now completely under the control of our troops and Fredericksted is undergoing heavy shelling from our ships at sea along with continued bombing raids on the central holdouts of St. Croix. As previously reported, St. John and St. Thomas are already under complete Norleans control. A few resistance fighters here and there on those islands have managed to kill a few people using standard terrorist techniques likes sniper fire and roadside car bombs, but navy Admiral, Beaux Latroy of the 2nd Carrier group off the coast of St. Thomas informed us by sattellite telephone today that since the intitial conquest, only 19 of our men have died as a result of the insurgent activities and over 50 insurgents have been captured or killed.

We'll be back with a word on your weather in a moment.

*** Special Announcement ***

AP - For Immediate Release

Speaking from his home in New Orleans today, Duke Huey P. Long, III, joined by his wife, Firebhrand Long, rulers of the North American Duchy and Empire of Norleans, denounced the destruction of Mecca by the government and military of Vineyard and the escalating of religious violence in the area.
For far too long, Muslims, Christians and Jews have fought wars and killed each other in the name of God, the same God. We denounce Vineyard's activities in destoying the holy Muslim city of Mecca as nothing more than a deliberate attempt to create additional religious based strife and suffering for the people of the world and the middle east. Why Vineyard would do such a thing, other than out of a sheer hatred of Muslims and Christians alike is beyond us. The country of Norleans is therefore offering aid, in the form of $1 Billion to those Muslim and Christian groups which seek to end the strife in the middle east and reject the anti-religious dictates of the evil empire of Vineyard.

OOC: Terrorist Funding anyone?

-Telegram to all nations- the incresingly agressive nation of Whittier- has attacked Vineyardian and Tenebrocosis troops after declaring war on them and suddenly attacking. he is gravely outnumbered, yet any assistance in his destrustion will be appreciated. The allies of our gov't are stirring and will send aid shortly. Also, please caution your citizens to be aware of falling satilites because...


Millitary Bulliton- 5 million troops are marsheling in Iraq after some 300 cruise missles were shot down over Iraqi territory. one missle got by and landed on a civilian target in North Iraq. North iraq is controled by both Vineyard and TGSR so TGSR's aid is expected in this war. Also, the conquests in Saudi Arabia are going smoothly. our massive fleet of 20 carrier fleets is seeking out the enemy

- Somewhere in space - ::Alright, lets give these sunbursts their first taste of combat!::
::Combat sir? It seems more like shooting down poor defenceless satilites!::
::Yes it is, but they have a pandora satilite somewhere around here... also some strange satilite that shot one of ours down... we have 50 subursts attacking the pandoras anti nuke system, and we are supposed to attack that weird satilite... there it is!::
:: All fighters, launch all of your space- to- space missles at it, then go to lightspeed and we will meet up at the Mars *crackel*... understod?::

::Yes sir!::
* 200 space to space missles streaked out at the poor defenceless stailite just as their launchers dissaeared after they became untracable blurs*

-Mountain Silo-
"Pandora's satilite down! Its down! Launch 'Swift retialation!'"
"Yes sir!"
*a missle operator hit a few switches and the missle streaked off, aimed at a whittier- meeting place... where all of the reservists were meeting up. then 99 more cruise missles streaked out of their silos, aimed at various whittier- armies.*

ooc: See? Whittier- has no nuke protection now! there is no way in hell any satilite can shoot down, even dodge a sunbrusts attack or the sunburst itself. If whittier- launches a nuke, then i will launch so many nukes, he will be shiting nukelear waste!

OOC: K, I'm back now. Sorry bout the delay. Long work week. As promised in my tg to Vineyard I will explain why the downing of one my sats is not the end of my nuke shield. Pandora's Box is not just a single sattelite. Its a system of satellites orbiting the earth that is pretty much watching the whole world. There are several components: intelligence, surveillance, nuclear missile holders, laser sats which fall into 2 class (satellite defense and antiICBM defense). There are at least 5 intell satallites over one of the five continents at any given time. There are 12 nuclear ICBM launchers in orbit, their cargo pointed down at the earth. Each launcher holds about 20 nuclear ICBM's. There are 125 anti ICBM sattalites at current count. These are each equipped with lasers and anti ICBM missiles which carry precision guided warheads (they use a number of factors to find enemy missiles including GPS and thermal sensing.) Because Whittier's government already knew someone would try to down their sattalites, due to a previous cold war with certain nation in the South Pacific, Pandora's Box includes 375 anti-sat satallites. The purpose of these is to protect all the other sattalites. Each Mercury (or anti sat sat) is about the size of golf ball. The Mercury monitors the area around each sat and if it detects a missiles or laser fired at the sat, will compute the trajectory of the laser and pretty much return fire or retaliate in some other way. Pandora's Box is a 100 billion dollar system for one good reason: It's the state of the art missile defense system of our times. And any one who can conquer Whittier or ally with Whittier will get access to it or be able to control. Either way, their nation's will be protected by it. In previous conflicts, Pandora's Box has had an effectiveness rating of 93%. But it should be noted, it cannot defend against nuclear armed cruise missiles with ranges of less than 100 miles. But if it detects foreign nuclear detonations, it will commence autmatic retaliation countdown unless overridden by ground control and it takes 5 code signatures to do that. The Secretary General and Secretary of Defense each one.

I will respond to the in character stuff later.

Welcome ladies and gents. This is your SidTV live at 5 reporter, Asus Norton. Our top story tonight, in a partial lift of the news black out on operations in South East China, General Ripper informed reporters today on the progess of that action. According to General Ripper, close to 1 million of our troops have deployed over the last 2 weeks in and around the city of Shanghai. During the course of the invasion a massive battle took place with remnants of Yevon of Spira's forces in Shangai and close to 5,700 Mauiwoweean soldiers were killed and another 15,000 or so were wounded. Additionally, an aircraft carrier, reportedly the Outback was sunk along with 3 battleships and a destroyer. Some 53 aircraft and 44 helicopters were also shot down. According to the General, resistance is expected to continue and the fighting will be heavy. The danger to our troops and intelligence forces is the reason given for the news black out. "With Shanghai firmly in our control now" said the General "it is only a matter of time before the rest of South East China falls."
Meanwhile, an additional portion of the release of news on the campaign revealed that, with JeetKundeDo's assistance and allowance for use of Hong Kong as a staging area, some 250,000 men have deployed into the Guangzhou area north of Hong Kong. SidTV military analysts speculate that these forces will be headed to the city of Guiyang in the Guizhou province in an effort to effectively cut South East China in half. General Ripper has assued us that additional reports will be forthcoming on a semi-regular basis now that the initial part of the invasion is over.

We'll return after a word from our sponsors.

FOX NEWS ALERT: WAR DECLARED IN MIDDLE EAST

Today after a 5 hour emergency session, the Whittier Polituburo sanctioned Secretary General Brezhnekov's Declaration of War against the rogue state of Vineyard. Our reporter in the capital was on the ground and caught these remarks by Secretary General Brezhnekov to a full assembly of the Politburo.
"Vineyard is a nation which is has been and is bent on world conquest as we can see from its actions throughout the world. Let it be known that I never sought war. To our overtures for peace, Vineyard has responded in the following manner:
5 million additional Vineyard troops are now massed threateningly across the border of Iraq. This situation may force us to use appropriate measures against Vineyard forces in northern Iraq as well as southern Iraq. Contrary to Vineyard propaganda, put out by their propaganda machine, our missiles were not targeted at civilian areas but at the troop concentrations along our borders. Having a precision guided warheaded, we are confident our missile hit somewhere in the middle of the Vineyard troop concentration.
In further outrage, one of our sattalites was attacked today by Vineyard anti sat missiles launched by several of their space planes. These Vineyard craft launched 200 missiles at one of our sattalites. Why, you ask, would anyone launch 200 missiles at just one sattalite. According to our intelligence, Vineyard has underestimated the Whittier Space Defense Program. Out of the 200 launched, 153 were destroyed. The rest destroyed our satallite and its companion Mercurys. You see the reason Vineyard's leadership fired 200 missiles at our sattalite is because they are scared and they should be. But what they didn't realize is that even without that one sattalite, Pandora's Box remains a viable threat to their quest for world domination and those of their allies.
As we all saw on television, the reckless leadership in Vineyard ordered the most horrific massacre of all time against the innocent muslims of Mecca. At this moment Catholics are attacking innocent and defenseless muslims because of an assassination of a christian ambassador that was carried out by Vineyard Secret Agents at the orders of none other than the leader of Vineyard himself. This should come as no surprise as Vineyard has been engaged in wanton massacres and serious breaches of the laws of war and human rights throughout the world. I believe in religious liberty, not religious persecution. Beginning today Vineyard's reign of terror is coming to an end. Today, our highest court has declared the entire Vineyard leadership to be war criminals wanted on charges of crimes against humanity.
Earlier today, our anti missile systems shot down 89 cruise missiles that were launched from Vineyard territory. We regret that 11 made it though and of those 8 hit civilian neighborhoods. Resulting in the death or maiming of over 4,000 Whittier civilians. 2 hit a runway, 1 hit a garbage dump. But the remaining two each hit a Reserve Call Up station killing 430 reservists each and injuring 230.
Therefore, today, I have ordered immediate retaliation. Which is now under way. I formally request that you sanction a declaration of war against Vineyard. In conjuntion, I have asked our friends around the world to assist us in ridding the world of Vineyard barbarism...."

As you can see on your screens, aircraft are now taking off southern Iran province and are apparently dropping bombs on Vineyard troops in what appears to be the Saudi Desert. And troops are headed west to attack the mass of Vineyard forces. We have word that as many as 7 million troops including reservists have been ordered west to attack Vineyard troops in Iraq.


On the front: 55 Drone Bombers fly out of their stations into Iraqi airspace, flying high over the Vineyard troop concentrations, they release their payload, 4 precision guided missiles each, with each one carrying cluster bombs. This is just the beginning.

Grenada:
the 5 silo doors opened and the missiles' noses rose from beneath the surface. With a loud war they rose to air on a northwest heading. Within 3 minutes they were in Jamaican Air Space: They both hit targets in Kingston, Bluefields, Morant Bay, Port More, and Spanish Town. Each missile carried a nuclear warhead. After the launch a stern warning was given to the government that owned Jamaica, not to further assist in Vineyard imperialism or further their nation will be devastated with further attacks.
Meantime, the 11th fleet set out from Grenada with marines wearing radiation suits. Destination: Jamaica.


Indian Ocean: The 5th fleet meantime had found a fleet bearing the Vineyard flag and as per orders had begun its assault on the enemy by firing 54 Tomahawk antiship cruise missiles. While the whittier stealth subs sneaked in closer and fired off 4 torpedoes each before retreating from the area.

Earth Orbit:
Whittier's Sattelitte defense system targeted the remaining the remaining Vineyard Sattalites, beams of white hot light crisscrossed through space from apparently nowhere to hit their targets which were either blown up or incinerated.
Then for 2 minutes, all but 5 of the Whittier defense sats shut themselves off. The five then exploded near the Vineyard sats that still remained, sending out EMP pulses that fried the crafts' circuitry making them completely useless to the enemy.

Ground Control LaunchPad: 2 Shuttles rose into the cool morning air. Unbeknownst to the rest of the nation and the world they didn't carry science cargo's this time. They carried millions of little mines the size of a quarter but each with enough explosive force to disable a space plane.

A message was sent to freindly governments warning the earth orbit was being mined against Vineyard SpaceCraft.

Final warning to Vineyard:
Remove all of your forces from Iraq and Saudi at once or never ever see them again.

OOC: Does it say where Muslims pray towards if Mecca is destroyed in Koran? :)


Maybe they'll pray to it's memory?
(Yes I know it's not really related)

In response to Vineyard actions around the globe Whittier's Nuclear Forces have been placed on Defcon 2.

Des Moines, Iowa


Thousands of people from around the small republic had crowed the city square on this windy day. Boig, small and from all walks of life, these people had all gathered to hear the results of the negotiations that had taken place between Norleans and the Iowian Government.

Suddenly, General James Bradley triumphantly marches from the Department of Commerce building, a small white document in his hand and a gigantic smile upon his face. Grabbing a microphone from the nearest report, he stood among the crowd to annouce this magnicent event.

" My fellow Iowians, today this terrible war has ended! Within my very hands exsists the very peace treaty, declaring this war as over. We are no longer puppets, but free men! I ask all of you now to discard your weapons and return to your farms and shops. Let us return to normal, so that Iowa may prosper again!"

A massive cry of jubilance and rapture engulfed the surrounding square, as people celebrated this victory. Car honked their horns, streemers of paper flooded from the buildings, as Iowians celebrated the end to this horrible war.

Within the next several hours, word of the treat spread like wildfire across the Iowian farmland, and farmers began to slowly turn in their weapons to local armories and began to pick up their lives again. It seemed as if things were finally getting back to normal, but many dilemas were now fast approaching the endless horizon.

Diary of Ken Watanbe---

Almost all of Manila has been conquered. The remaining of the 7th, 9th, 23rd, 36th, and 40th regiments are going to make a fianl attack on the government buildings of Manila. We have been fighting for a long time now and it is a few hours before dawn.

Sgt. Kim: "Move in, divide and conquer."
Soldier: "Preparing to cut power. Night goggles on."

I moved in swiftly and silently, using a pistol as I was out of other ammo and a blood-stained katana.
Hmm, its quiet here, a little too quiet. Its understandable though as the government collapsed. Huh? Where'd the rest of my allies go?
Two lights in the hallway turned back on. As the far light flickered on and off, it showed a man that stood under the light.
Its you! The guard I fought in that museum.
"Glad to meet you again. My name is Mark Dacascos."
You speak jeetkunedese?!
"I know a few words. I am still learning. I found books in libraries."
Uh, wow. Oh yea right, my name is Ken Watanabe. Guess, we have to get on with this now.
"Yes of course, but do you not think that this place is a bit too cramp?"
Where do you have in mind?
"Mount Pinatubo. Its a volcano north-east of here. I have a couple of horses for which we can take to get there quickly."
Okay, lead the way.

"We'll have to leave our horses here, the road gets very rocky and muddy up ahead."
"Now, show me everything you've got. Don't hold back. No weapons right now."
A grueling and tiresome battle took place between them with punches, kicks, grabs, throws and blocks. Out of breath I thought outloud This guy is obviously more expierenced than I am. I think i've gotten more puches on him but it looks like they don't even bruise him.
As the sun rose over the horizon, Mark spoke. "Round one is over now, take a little break and we can use weapons."

As the sun rose over the volcano, it exploded. A little amount of lava started to flow down the mountain. A grey smoke cloud rose up and started to spread.
I'll use my katana, looks like you'll use those two blades again. This time, he was on the offensive and I had my heart cut out for me blocking his attacks. I sidestepped and stepped back and threw three shurikens out of my sleeve. He moved his head dodging one, moved the other way dodging another then ducked dodging the last, and before I knew it he was already near my face again attacking. I reacted quickly and hit him on the head with the hilt of my sword and kicked him back. Immediatley, I threw three more shurikens. But this time, he dodged one and blocked the other two with his blades.

"We should get out of here, the smoke is comming closer."

"Good, you're exactly what I saw in you. You have the potential to be great."
You're no ordinary guard are you?
"No, I am a Templar. I trained at the Angel martial arts acadamy. I'm betting you're no mere soldier either."
You're right, I'm a Dragon, an elite trained warrior in the military.
"I get the feeling that you're Emperor is a kind man and our people care not much if we become a part of JeetKuneDo. But, we must unite. Genocide has been taken on Muslims, and another war should not be going on while this is happening. We'll make a treaty when we get back to the city."
Sounds good. You have much wisdom my friend. What is a templar anyways?
"We are warriors that have sworn to protect the people."

Six million soldiers armed with GSR36-A1s, with heavy armor support from 13,000 FA-22K tanks, are being boarded onto Airbus A380-Gs at this moment. They will reach Northern Iraq in a week, as the 3,000 Airbus A380 have to make several trips. 1,000 "Celtic" SAMs are already in Northern Iraq, and will not hesitate to shoot down any hostile aircraft.

Thirty "Arkbirds" quickly decended to 30,000 feet today to change their course using the increased friction of low altitudes, headed towards Iraq.

Actually composed of two crafts, the Links 50 and the Orbital 50, the craft is a leap forward in manned space exploration and orbital technology. Built upon the idea of the old Soviet Union's Spiral 50-50 craft and MiG 105 orbital vehicles, the Links 50/50 uses newer technology to achieve it's aim. In a non-technical explanation, accompanied with pictures which are reproduced below, General Jack T. Ripper of W.M.D., Inc. explainded the concept.

"Historically, space craft have been launched from the ground by the use of huge rocket boosters that acheive the thrust needed to get a craft into outer space, about 62 miles up. However, this is an inneficient and costly means of acheiving earth orbit and runs huge risks to the pilots and astronauts aboard such space craft. Witness the tragedy of the U.S. Space Shuttle Challenger in 1986 which exploded at launch as a singluar example of what I'm saying. The Links 50/50 uses a specially designed and powerful aircraft, the Links 50, to carry, piggy-back style, a second craft, the Orbital 50, to a near orbital altitude of 50 or so miles up. At that point the Orbital 50, using rocket boosters, much smaller and less dangerous than those of typical earth based launch systems, 'breaks away' and launches into orbit. The Links 50 aircraft returns to earth and lands like a normal plane while the Orbital 50 carries out its mission in space and then it also lands like a normal plane, similar to the classic space shuttle, but it also has the ability to "splash down" like a space capsule should the need arise."

Documents released as a part of this announcement show the launch sequence as follows:

Finally, a picture of the craft at rest and a technical drawing of the Orbital 50 were provided:

Most specifications for the craft are classified, however, we can report the following:

Links 50

Crew, 3
Fuselage length, m 46.0
Wingspan, m 21.5
Wing area, sq.m 270.0
Forward edge sweep angle, degrees 80/60
Fuselage diameter (max), m 5.15
Middle section
(incl. wing and engine nacelles), sq.m 22.9
Fuselage width (in engine nacelles), m 7.2
Winglet area, sq.m 3x21
Ventral fin area (the fin folds up at take off), sq.m 12.0
Empty Weight, 42,000 kg.
Engines, four AL-52 turbojet engines producing 19 tonnes of thrust per engine burning a Hydrogen/Kerosene fuel combination with Liquid Hydrogen used intially at take off.
Speed Capabilities, Mach 6.2

Orbital 50

Crew, 1
Body length, m 11.0
Body rear edge span, m 6.0
Body front section radius, m 3
Planform area, sq.m 26.0
Body middle section, sq.m 4.7
Body bottom area, sq.m 3.8
Rocket Boosters, Liquid Hydrogen propellant developing 1,900 kg/f of thrust
Internal Manuervering rockets, helium ion technology

The Orbital 50 can carry it's pilot in outer space for up to 120 hours (5 days) before it must land and has EVA capabilities of up to 18 hours for it's pilot. The craft is suited for small satellite retrieval or large satellite repair. It can also carry weapons (according to experts, no more than 4-6 liquid hydrogen propelled variants on "stinger" or maybe "javelin" missiles for use in destroying satellites or space debris) or a targeted EMP pulse device (Patent Mauiwowee) or a laser device (primarily useful for damaging satellite optics and possibly destroying micro-computer guidance components in satellites). Likewise, the craft can be used with orbital photographic equipment to provide targeted, orbital photographs of sites or of other spacecraft, satellites, etc.

Developed at a cost of over $1.2 trillion over the past 8 years at it's Australia Outback Research Facility, dubbed "Area 69" in popular parlance, the Links 50/50 is expected to draw signficant interest from the world community. Mauiwowee's Airforce has placed an order for 25 of the craft and revealed that another 5 are already in use. In a surprising move, Mauiwowee has also announced that a very limited number of the craft will be made available to select allies and other countries at a cost of $100 billion to include a single Links 50 and a single Orbital 50.

*** END OF LINE ***

OOC: Do a google search for "Spiral 50-50" and/or "MiG 105" and you find where the idea and pictures originated - the specs are mine though.

Five minutes after shutting down and 2 minutes after the EMP pulses that destroyed the Vineyard sats in earth orbit, Whittier's defense sattalites came back online and began function checks as they powered back up.

Whittier Embassy, Great Sixth Reich:
Ambassador Longfellow looked at his telefax machine. He took his job very seriously. He wasn't certain how TGSR would react to the message. Though Whittier had an embassy in TGSR, the staff never went anywhere and basically only defended Whittier citizens in TGSR courts, only occasionally venturing out to meet some TGSR government official.
He stepped into the bullet/bomb proof limo along with 5 of his secret service agents. 25 more agents stepped into a couple more limos. The situation with Vineyard was getting worse. The web was Iraq. And at the moment it was Vineyard's advantage as Vineyard was using northern Iraq to launch hostile aggression against Whittier. The limos left the compound and began speeding toward the TGSR's Presidential Palace (I don't know what you call it).
In a Manila folder Longfellow carried a communique from back home.
It contained a request for talks regarding the presence of hostile Vineyard forces in Northern Iraq preparing for hostile acts against Whittier.


Whittier Diplomatic Compound, Mauiwowee:
Ambassador Lindsworth had gotten his message before Longfellow got his. He was already approaching the Foreign Ministry Building of Mauiwowee. His orders were simple: seek an alliance against Vineyard.

Whittier Diplomatic Caravan, JeetKuneDo:
Like his colleagues around the world, Ambassador John Paul had been sent on a mission. His staff's other priorities being frozen for this one. Like the others, his mission was simple: seek an alliance against Vineyard and ask the host nation to place sanctions on the rogue nation of Vineyard.

Each diplomat carried an offer of compensation of any sattalites the host nations may have had in space. For TGSR, there was an offer of compensation for any collateral damage caused by recent attacks against Vineyard forces in that territory. The amount should be minimal as Whittier is using precision guided munitions that are targeted directly at Vineyard troop concentrations which are far from any northern Iraqi cities.

Whittier Diplomatic Compound, Mauiwowee:
Ambassador Lindsworth had gotten his message before Longfellow got his. He was already approaching the Foreign Ministry Building of Mauiwowee. His orders were simple: seek an alliance against Vineyard.

The Ambassador from Whittier- was expected. Ushered into the primary conference room he found Queen Harriet herself waiting on him.

"What have you got for us Ambassador, and how can we help. It's time take to take Vineyard out. Being a rouge, asshole of a nation is one thing. Deliberately starting a religious war and jihad is another."

Military HQ, Singapore

Gen. Hidinski:"Sir, Doomingsland has been "invited" into Mali to support Kopparbergs there."
Gen. Jang:"......We're fucked now! Let the troops build fortified positions. I hope there will be a WWI like stalemate that will bloody Doomingsland troops. What about our allies?"
Gen. Hidinski:"They haven't reacted. Mauiwowee and JeetKuneDo are very busy in China, they probably won't be able to help us."
Gen. Jang:"Again! What is the profit of F.O.A.M. if they don't help us! We have always helped or offered help to other F.O.A.M. members! Why don't we quit!"
Gen. Hidinski:"It would be stupid to quit with F.O.A.M. They're almost our only allies we have. Why don't you send another message."
Gen. Jang:"I'll do it."

***Secret Telegram to all F.O.A.M. members***

Things in Africa are getting very hot. Kopparbergs and Doomingsland have allied against me it seems. We can take them on for now, but if they really put the pressure on it, we're dead. Help is necesary.

Signed, General Jang

FOX NEWS ALERT: WAR DECLARED IN MIDDLE EAST

Today after a 5 hour emergency session, the Whittier Polituburo sanctioned Secretary General Brezhnekov's Declaration of War against the rogue state of Vineyard. Our reporter in the capital was on the ground and caught these remarks by Secretary General Brezhnekov to a full assembly of the Politburo.
"Vineyard is a nation which is has been and is bent on world conquest as we can see from its actions throughout the world. Let it be known that I never sought war. To our overtures for peace, Vineyard has responded in the following manner:
5 million additional Vineyard troops are now massed threateningly across the border of Iraq. This situation may force us to use appropriate measures against Vineyard forces in northern Iraq as well as southern Iraq. Contrary to Vineyard propaganda, put out by their propaganda machine, our missiles were not targeted at civilian areas but at the troop concentrations along our borders. Having a precision guided warheaded, we are confident our missile hit somewhere in the middle of the Vineyard troop concentration.
In further outrage, one of our sattalites was attacked today by Vineyard anti sat missiles launched by several of their space planes. These Vineyard craft launched 200 missiles at one of our sattalites. Why, you ask, would anyone launch 200 missiles at just one sattalite. According to our intelligence, Vineyard has underestimated the Whittier Space Defense Program. Out of the 200 launched, 153 were destroyed. The rest destroyed our satallite and its companion Mercurys. You see the reason Vineyard's leadership fired 200 missiles at our sattalite is because they are scared and they should be. But what they didn't realize is that even without that one sattalite, Pandora's Box remains a viable threat to their quest for world domination and those of their allies.
As we all saw on television, the reckless leadership in Vineyard ordered the most horrific massacre of all time against the innocent muslims of Mecca. At this moment Catholics are attacking innocent and defenseless muslims because of an assassination of a christian ambassador that was carried out by Vineyard Secret Agents at the orders of none other than the leader of Vineyard himself. This should come as no surprise as Vineyard has been engaged in wanton massacres and serious breaches of the laws of war and human rights throughout the world. I believe in religious liberty, not religious persecution. Beginning today Vineyard's reign of terror is coming to an end. Today, our highest court has declared the entire Vineyard leadership to be war criminals wanted on charges of crimes against humanity.
Earlier today, our anti missile systems shot down 89 cruise missiles that were launched from Vineyard territory. We regret that 11 made it though and of those 8 hit civilian neighborhoods. Resulting in the death or maiming of over 4,000 Whittier civilians. 2 hit a runway, 1 hit a garbage dump. But the remaining two each hit a Reserve Call Up station killing 430 reservists each and injuring 230.
Therefore, today, I have ordered immediate retaliation. Which is now under way. I formally request that you sanction a declaration of war against Vineyard. In conjuntion, I have asked our friends around the world to assist us in ridding the world of Vineyard barbarism...."

As you can see on your screens, aircraft are now taking off southern Iran province and are apparently dropping bombs on Vineyard troops in what appears to be the Saudi Desert. And troops are headed west to attack the mass of Vineyard forces. We have word that as many as 7 million troops including reservists have been ordered west to attack Vineyard troops in Iraq.


On the front: 55 Drone Bombers fly out of their stations into Iraqi airspace, flying high over the Vineyard troop concentrations, they release their payload, 4 precision guided missiles each, with each one carrying cluster bombs. This is just the beginning.

Grenada:
the 5 silo doors opened and the missiles' noses rose from beneath the surface. With a loud war they rose to air on a northwest heading. Within 3 minutes they were in Jamaican Air Space: They both hit targets in Kingston, Bluefields, Morant Bay, Port More, and Spanish Town. Each missile carried a nuclear warhead. After the launch a stern warning was given to the government that owned Jamaica, not to further assist in Vineyard imperialism or further their nation will be devastated with further attacks.
Meantime, the 11th fleet set out from Grenada with marines wearing radiation suits. Destination: Jamaica.


Indian Ocean: The 5th fleet meantime had found a fleet bearing the Vineyard flag and as per orders had begun its assault on the enemy by firing 54 Tomahawk antiship cruise missiles. While the whittier stealth subs sneaked in closer and fired off 4 torpedoes each before retreating from the area.

ooc: You already declared war. Lol.

- ALSO- i would like to point out that i HAVE NO TROOPS NOR EQUIPTMENT in jamica as it is neither my puppet nor in any way controled by myself. I DON'T OWN JAMICA!!!!! READ SOME OF THE PREVIOUS POSTS! Ah, well. You just attacked a nutural nation. Smooth.

IC:"My lord! They just nuked Jamica!"
The dictator droped all papers he was holding and collapsed into his chair.
"Why?"
"Apparently the Whittier- intel. agency is a bunch of screw ups. They thought we owned it, and simply nuked it. Thousands of innocent civilians were killed. 8 NUKES. Too much of an overkill. Only a few fishermen at sea survived, also, we still have 350,000 Jamican Auxiliray troops from when we still owned it. Now jamica is a large rock at sea. That's all."
"SHIT! Order all space fighters to knock out ALL of their satilites. Launch 8 nukes at a purly civilian targets in Iran. They will pay for what they did to Jamica!" the dictator yelled shaking a raised fist into the air.
"Get our allies Great Romeo and Tenebrocosis to aid us..."
ooc: hold up. I just noticed that tenebrocosis hasn't poseted in a long time. stop rping until he comes back. He is an essintial part of this war.

Earth Orbit:
Whittier's Sattelitte defense system targeted the remaining the remaining Vineyard Sattalites, beams of white hot light crisscrossed through space from apparently nowhere to hit their targets which were either blown up or incinerated.
Then for 2 minutes, all but 5 of the Whittier defense sats shut themselves off. The five then exploded near the Vineyard sats that still remained, sending out EMP pulses that fried the crafts' circuitry making them completely useless to the enemy.

Ground Control LaunchPad: 2 Shuttles rose into the cool morning air. Unbeknownst to the rest of the nation and the world they didn't carry science cargo's this time. They carried millions of little mines the size of a quarter but each with enough explosive force to disable a space plane.

A message was sent to freindly governments warning the earth orbit was being mined against Vineyard SpaceCraft.

::WTF is that?::
::No idea... wanna shoot it?::
::Sure!::
As the 2 sapce fighters close in on the 2 shuttles, they see Whittier- flag on it.
::Call for back up!::
::Already here, its amazing how lightspeed works on this baby! Boys, engage the enemy! launch as many missles as it takes to blow it up! Aim for the cargo hold and the cockpit!::

After the destruction of the shuttle (is there any way possible that thing can outrun my ships? No.) the Spacefighters returned to space golf--- Shooting Down Golfball sized 'defence systems' to protect Whittier- objects from Vineyard satilites. Of, course, no Vineyard satilite was ever armed and the golf ball wasn't bult to deal with fighters! In the event of destroying all of those annoying golfballs, they would go ahead and destroy all Whittier- satilites.

-On the ground-
:: Yes, my lord. All anti nuke stystems are deployed around our territories. No way po....::
"Minister Krotchuk? Hello?"The dictator sat up in his chair and continued to shout the ambassadors name for a little while.
"What happened"
"My lord, all of our comm satilites are down. We are building comminications the old fasioned way."
" No, wait. Contact the TGSR embassy here, ask for permission to use their satilites for communication."
"Yes, my lord. At once!"

JAP: Jonothana has built up troops at the Portugeese border, threatening to drive them to the sea should they not surrender Protugal and Chile to Jonothana. The government has not, as of yet, received any communique from Tizerland, however, it is thought unlikely they will comply. Jonothana is preparing for war, and the refferendum date has been set.

Tizerland Government News Public Release - AU CODE 99-78-22-AE :

It is with our foremost regret we bring you the news that we have suurendered to our Jonothanaian neighbours. They have forced us to do this, we beleveive that it is best to lose no lives but lose our countries than to lose many lives in a veign attempt to protect the country, and lose it.

We have also surrendered Chile, we do not want to have that attacked also.

Chile and Portugal will soon be formally uncondionally surrendered to the Jonothanians.

This seems to be a very "easy" take over.......

JAP:

Tizerland has unexeptedly surrenders all of it's territories, and thus there will be no war, and no refferendum on it.

PM's statement:

"Today is a great day for Jonothana: We have got exactly what we want, without losing a single man on either side."

The signing is currently taking place in the PM's official residence.

OOC:

I've been out of internet access for the past few days. Could anybody give me a summary of what has happened so far? I'll try to catch up RP-wise tonight or tomorrow, with diplomacy, war, etc. :)

OOC: A short brief of the things I remember:

* JeetKuneDoo and Mauiwowee are invadin SE China and the Philippines. I think JeetKuneDoo should have Ph. and M. should have China, but I'm not sure about that.

* Vineyard and Whittier- has continued to war with each other. Whittier- has nuked Jamaica with 8 nukes. There were also something about satellites being shot down. Whittier- is seeking allies in Mauiwowee and TGSR against Vineyard.

* Vineyard has completely destroyed Mecca, and all Muslimes are wild about that.

* Warta Endor has withdrawn from Western Sahara and Mali. Kopparbergs are in the middle of an invasion of these two countries. Doomingsland has today been engaged in this conflict.

-Ankara news-
All troops from Iowa have been brought home after a peace treaty was made between lachenburg and Norleans. The troops are being stationed somewhere in Turkey.

Mobile Field HQ, 3rd Army, Mali

General Magnus sat in his SIV-25 Command Vehicle, looking at the holographic map in the middle. The commanders of XI and XII Corps sat with him as they discussed the plan to rout all of the Warta Endoran forces without so much as losing 100 men.

"Gentlemen, here's how it'll go." said Magnus, hitting something on his remote control for the holoscreen. "The enemy's begining to get hunkered down at their current positions. This will be of great advantage to us, as they expect us to stick around and lay siege to them. You all know better than that." he said as the screen zoomed in on an Emperor tank. "We will bypass all enemy strongpoints and go right for the jugular, gentlemen. They won't know what hit them. OK, head back to your HQ's and brief your commanders, I've got more planning to do." finished the general.

The army was now rapidly approaching Warta Endoran forces, and airstrikes were about to commence.

OOC:Just to get a good OOC idea of the situation, where are your troops?

The Ambassador from Whittier- was expected. Ushered into the primary conference room he found Queen Harriet herself waiting on him.

"What have you got for us Ambassador, and how can we help. It's time take to take Vineyard out. Being a rouge, asshole of a nation is one thing. Deliberately starting a religious war and jihad is another."
The ambassador spoke calmly and firmly with conviction: "As you know, the world is on fire with a war that Vineyard started. As we already know, he has been engaged in genocide on the basis of religion, at one point attacking one religious faith's most holiest shrine. My government has decided that the time has come for regime change in Vineyard. First off, their military can't be very strong at the moment as they troops all over the world. We intend to attack their forces in middle east, the indian ocean and in the Carribean. However, because of their allies, we cannot bring them down, ourselves. We are requesting any assistance you and your allies can provide. In particular we seek to open another front for Vineyard to deal with. We seek an alliance against Vineyard and help by way of troops, aircraft, tanks, ships, especially ships. Any help your nation and your allies can provide would be greatly aprecieated and remembered. In return our nation offers an alliance and free trade agreement and a freedom of movement treaty which would allow your nations to move their forces through our territory at any time."

ooc: You already declared war. Lol.

- ALSO- i would like to point out that i HAVE NO TROOPS NOR EQUIPTMENT in jamica as it is neither my puppet nor in any way controled by myself. I DON'T OWN JAMICA!!!!! READ SOME OF THE PREVIOUS POSTS! Ah, well. You just attacked a nutural nation. Smooth.

OOC: LOL. I know you don't own Jamaica, but I am aware that you are allied to the owner and that he's been giving you your ships for world conquest. And you might notice that I already nuked Tenebrocosis.

2 men in large swiriling capes and dark sunglasses strode briskly past the limos that were loading up with agents. One of the men started speaking into his watch...
ooc: lets rp this.
OOC: send me a tm. Guess I didn't nuke Tene.
