An Aggie is a Texas A&M Graduate. They do something down there to them that screws them up for life. Very few that I have ever met are "normal" after experiencing campus life.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't "Aggie" also short for "agriculturalist"? The University of Guelph, just down the road from me, are also Aggies. It's a nice campus though.

Texas A&M was originally known as Texas Agricultural and Mechanics University. So the name kinda stuck.

Oh, just to say. If anyone wants me to RP resistance in the takeover of Squornshelous' old territories, I will be happy to do so.

If you want to get in on the fun in Silent Wind you are more than welcome.

Special Operations Forces

The Cottish Special Operations Forces (SOFs) are among the most secretive units of the Royal Cottish Military. Their presence and existance is known among the public and among the military, but no details are known. Mainly individuals know the name of the units and an idea of what they do but no exact details. Details of the units is considered Top Secret IC and their existence is usually disavowed by His Majesty's Government. The SOFs recieve 4 percent of the Military Budget, and are capable of striking anywhere in the world within eighteen to twenty-four hours as well as conducting operations in the most heavily defended enemy areas.

Hærens Jegerkommando (Army Special Forces Command)

Team Size: 12
Unit Description: Hærens Jegerkommando is the Army's general purpose special forces unit, capable of conducting all kinds of operations. The soldiers are well trained in all possible roles, and are a fearsome foe. Little is known about the unit, other than the fact that the unit exists. The identity of unit members is highly classified.

Marinens Jegerkommando (Navy Special Forces Command)
Unit Size: Brigade
Unit Base: Haakonsvern Naval Station, Bergen, Norway
Unit Role: General Purpose Operations
Team Size: 8
Unit Description: Marinens Jegerkommando is the Navy's special forces unit, and is highly capable of conducting irregular warfare in and around the water. They are well trained for all kinds of operations, but they are specialized in airborne operations, maritime operations, reconnaissance, strike, and counter-insurgency. All personnel is well disciplined, and the identity of unit members is highly classified. Members of the unit are used in advance of an invasion force to secure high-value targets, personnel, and to provide naval spotting.

Luftforsvarets Spesialkommando (Air Force Special Operations Command)
Unit Size: Corps
Unit Base: Afrikanda Air Force Base, Murmansk
Unit Role: Combat Search and Rescue/Aerial Transportation
Team Size: 6
Unit Description: Luftforsvarets Spesialkommando has a two-sided mission: To operate the special operations aerial units such as helicopters and aircraft; and to retrain an airborne Combat Search and Rescue service for CSAR in hostile environments.

Forsvarets Spesialkommando (Military Special Command)
Unit Size: Battalion
Unit Base: Camp Huseby, Oslo, Norway
Unit Role: Counter-Terrorism Operations
Team Size: 12
Unit Description: Forsvarets Spesialkommando is the best trained and funded counter-terrorism unit in the Royal Cottish Military. It has been in existance since 1981, but its existance was only confirmed in 1997, when the only official confirmantion that the unit existed emerged. The Government will not comment on anything remotely relating to the unit, its existance or its operations. The personnel in the unit are hand-picked from the two Special Forces Commands that the Army and Navy operate. The personnel in the unit are all highly specialized in counter-terrorism operations. Like with all other Special Forces commands, the identity of the personnel is highly classified.


Black Operations Forces

The Cottish Black Operations Forces (BOFs) are the most secretive units of the Royal Cottish Military. Their presence is completely unknown outside of the individual units, and in all cases, the BOFs are unaware of other units, except in some cases where they must work together. All units and organizations are considered Top Secret IC and their existance is completely disavowed by His Majesty's Government. The BOFs recieve 3 percent of the Military Budget, and are capable of striking anywhere in the world within twelve to eighteen hours as well as conducting operations in the most heavily defended enemy areas.

Kongshirden (Royal Bodyguards)
Unit Size: Company
Unit Base: Akershus Fortress, Oslo, Norway
Unit Role: Protection of the Royal Family
Team Size: 8
Unit Description: The role of Kongshirden is, simply, to protect the King of Cotland at any cost. The small, highly elite force takes orders from no one but the King himself, and will gladly give their lives to protect that of the King. They are all fiercely loyal and highly trained, being proficient with most pieces of military hardware. Any member of Kongshirden is considered dead to the outer world, his death having been faked. All members of Kongshirden have combat experience from the military and are hand-picked. Potential members are approached by Kongshirden and asked if they wish to join. If they accept, they are "killed" and sent to a training facility where they undergo medical treatment to increase their senses and stamina before they are brainwashed to ensure total obedience and dedication. They are also trained in advanced infantry tactics and weaponry. After the training period of twelve months, the members of Kongshirden are assigned to Riksgarden, the operational sub-unit. Those members that excell in their work in Riksgarden may be selected to serve in Livgarden, the sub-unit personally responsible for the protection of the King and his family. The members of Kongshirden serve until they are either dead, or until they are fourty-five years of age, at which time they are given a choice: remain in the force or retire peacefully. If they choose the latter, they are given a new identity and the freedom to choose where to live. They are also given a very generous pension ($900,000 per year), for which they can live well for the remainder of their lives. They are naturally sworn to silence about their service and the events therein.

Svart Tiger (Black Tiger)
Unit Size: Brigade
Unit Base: Camp Dimona, Israel

Team Size: 8
Unit Description: The soldiers of Black Tiger does not officially exist. The real name of the unit is highly classified, and will vary from operation to operation.

The personnel in Black Tiger are highly trained, highly experienced and highly motivated soldiers, and are among the finest in the world. Several personnel from Black Tiger has been selected for service in Kongshirden after service in the unit, something which is a testiment to the high level of experience, professionality and loyalty of the unit.

Its Remembrance day today:

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

John McCrae (1872-1918)


They shall not grow old as we who are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.

All Quiet on the Western Front

Car Nicobar, of the Nicobar Islands, is hereby under administrative control of the Realm of Cotland. I'll let him explain the details.

Car Nicobar, which has been leased by the Realm of Cotland from the Insurmountable Empire of Layarteb for a time period of ninety-nine years for an undisclosed sum of money. The island will be upgraded with a new international airport, a new monorail system to the main settlements, and three new tourist resort areas. The island will in other words become the new luxury tourist resort for citizens from throughout the world to flock to. The airport will be willing to start flights to destinations throughout the world, regardless of nation. And yes, we are open for foreign businesses to build their own resorts here.

So who wants to come on vacation to Car Nicobar?

Major newsflash. The Empire is set to retire its Layarteb Class BBGN battleships, which have been in service since the early 1940s, from the days of the Republic. The Empire has 20 of these still in service. This will leave the Earthquake Class BBGN battleship as the only battleship in the ILN. It has been in service since the late 1970s and early 1980s, with 68 hulls still in service.

As much as I hate how political viewing the military has become (up here in Canada, those opposed to the Afghanistan mission- as I am- are denigrated as "anti-military" when I'm not), "Rememberance Day" still has major significance. The military is a country's essential service and that should be honoured. I just wish my fellow citizens wouldn't use it as a political tool.

By the way, John McCrae is a Canadian.

Thank you Vets.

Went on an adventure yesterday and today that led me to Major General Wright, the 50th Ag General of the Commonwealth of PA (means she is general of all NG units in PA), plus some colonels and such. Cool People, kept pushing me to join though lol.

Then went to Gettysburg, love it there. Lots of Vets where there.

Anyway in regards to that poem you should check out "A storm over Flanders". good book about the battle.

I know McCrae was a Canadian btw, a Medic in fact. That poem of his is very famous in Ireland.
Another good book of WW1 Poetry is Up The Line To Death.

I felt like pointing it out for those who didn't. It's a pride thing. Us Canadians love pointing out who's "made it" on the world stage 'cause we feel invisible.

Are there any poems about the end of the war in there?

RomeW, don't forget the Canadians took Juno beach and joined with the Brits who took Sword and Gold as opposed to us poor schleps who had "resistance" on Omaha beach. You guys taking Juno freed up more of our men to take Omaha and Utah.

Anyhow, back to NS news. I don't know who is familiar with my Doomsday class ship but I've modified it so that it can be MT and not PMT. However, don't worry, it isn't employed as part of my Earth II military. [Look for updated stats on it in the coming days].

Yeah the book is split up into sections on different periods and themes of WW1. There are a good few on the end of the war, the last two poems of the whole book are one by Siegfried Sassoon called Aftermath, written in 1919, and one by Philip Johnstone, called High Wood, which was written in 1918, but sounds like it was more recent due to the theme of tourism. (High Wood was a battlefield during the war between the British and Germans and is now a Graveyard.)

Aftermath By Siegfried Sassoon, 1919

Have you forgotten yet?...
For the world's events have rumbled on since those gagged days,
Like traffic checked while at the crossing of city-ways:
And the haunted gap in your mind has filled with thoughts that flow
Like clouds in the lit heaven of life; and you're a man reprieved to go,
Taking your peaceful share of Time, with joy to spare.
But the past is just the same--and War's a bloody game...
Have you forgotten yet?...
Look down, and swear by the slain of the War that you'll never forget.

Do you remember the dark months you held the sector at Mametz--
The nights you watched and wired and dug and piled sandbags on parapets?
Do you remember the rats; and the stench
Of corpses rotting in front of the front-line trench--
And dawn coming, dirty-white, and chill with a hopeless rain?
Do you ever stop and ask, 'Is it all going to happen again?'

Do you remember that hour of din before the attack--
And the anger, the blind compassion that seized and shook you then
As you peered at the doomed and haggard faces of your men?
Do you remember the stretcher-cases lurching back
With dying eyes and lolling heads--those ashen-grey
Masks of the lads who once were keen and kind and gay?

Have you forgotten yet?...
Look up, and swear by the green of the spring that you'll never forget.


High Wood By Philip Johnstone, 1918

Ladies and gentlemen, this is High Wood,
Called by the French, Bois des Furneaux,
The famous spot which in Nineteen-Sixteen,
July, August and September was the scene
Of long and bitterly contested strife,
By reason of its High commanding site.
Observe the effect of shell-fire in the trees
Standing and fallen; here is wire; this trench
For months inhabited, twelve times changed hands;
(They soon fall in), used later as a grave.
It has been said on good authority
That in the fighting for this patch of wood
Were killed somewhere above eight thousand men,
Of whom the greater part were buried here,
This mound on which you stand being....
Madame, please,
You are requested kindly not to touch
Or take away the Company's property
As souvenirs; you'll find we have on sale
A large variety, all guaranteed.
As I was saying, all is as it was,
This is an unknown British officer,
The tunic having lately rotted off.
Please follow me - this way .....
the path, sir, please,
The ground which was secured at great expense
The Company keeps absolutely untouched,
And in that dug-out (genuine) we provide
Refreshments at a reasonable rate.
You are requested not to leave about
Paper, or ginger-beer bottles, or orange peel,
There are waste-paper baskets at the gate.

RomeW, don't forget the Canadians took Juno beach and joined with the Brits who took Sword and Gold as opposed to us poor schleps who had "resistance" on Omaha beach. You guys taking Juno freed up more of our men to take Omaha and Utah.

Funny, the Canadian history classes never talk about that...all we hear is "Vimy Ridge! Vimy Ridge!" Specific D-Day battles never get any mention when they're quite important.

On a different topic, how many of you use Facebook? If we've got enough, we could have our own group...

My poetry:

The clock was minutes past nine at night,
As the door revealed my dear delight,
And my eyes shook
With the floor's crook
To gaze at a ghastly gourmand sight.

Hmm, well, I did have a rather large arsenal of chemical and biological weapons. There probably a few research facilities built underground, dug into the permafrost. In fact, there's quite a lot of those things, as well as secret storage facilities not too far from missile silos, scattered throughout my old territory.

Other than that, the only point of interest in the islands was the naval base at Sachs Harbor on Banks Island. Decent sized base with extensive berths and drydock facilities for repairs and housing of ships transferring between Pacific and Atlantic fleets.

The Realm is willing to assist. Just tell what you need assistance with, and we'll let you know.

Im playing Medieval 2 Total War ATM...good game but it crashes during the campagin mode. Went to the support forum and found that like 10 other people have the same problem so it also needs patching

But man their is so many games i want i just don't know what to buy...thinking of getting COD3 for Xbox360 as well

Plus the Wii is god!! Who ever is the luckly bastard that gets Legend of Zelda and the Wii i will be 100% jealous of you

I would feel kind of strange going into a Game store and asking for a 'wii'.

Anyway, if you like Medieval Total War, you should check out a game called Anno 1701. You create your own civilization that advances etc. Its based more on economics than war, but the war part is solida and fairly difficult at times. Its a good game, one of the only good games to come out of Germany!

Is what we can do, because he is only temporarily on vacation is to reserve it for him. If he still wants it he can go for it, otherwise we'll offer it up to claim, since, technically, he's RP'ing for it already.

I second that.

Claiming

Yes, I have already started an RP. I'll be doing a lot with this RP, too.

I claim the rest of Southern Australia and Kangaroo Island; Yakutia, Chukokta, and the area where Magadan is.

Thank you.

*Jaded Symplex is the RP*

I just learnt of an absoloutely horrific torture which I plan to RP during the Civil War in Mali. I'll make sure its posted here.

As of now the territory of Ash Sharqiyah Province is no longer in my control. I am pulling all forces from the province to aid in the fight in the UAE.

Also like I told you before Lay you should have just kept the syndicate as an non-land claiming nation because I am still running them. A post about current actions by the syndicate as well as full information will be up ASAP.

Another thing, The syndicate is no longer afiliated to the anti-japanese racist group they started as. Karl Viliant has begun talks with the Japanese government and like I said all information will be released soon.

Here it is, The Syndicate I have several starter groups up already, if anyone wants to RP them maybe other than that most of the groups I`ll RP myselfs. The majority are in the Pacific Area and are fighting alongsidee the Japanese. All information of the parties, groups and orginization involved in the Syndicate will be up when I get the time to finish this project. This is just a foresight into what I`ll mainly be doing here on EII.

*Jaded Symplex is the RP*

The Realm hereby informs the Japaneese Empire that Kangaroo Island is currently a part of the Realm of Cotland, and that any incursions into territory considered to be a part of the Realm will be considered an act of war against the Realm of Cotland, and the Realm will retaliate against any Japaneese targets of opportunity.

So the syndicate terrorists are now working with the Japanese? Looks like Cot and Lay were right to be suspicous of Japan.

Dude, I'm the fucking Japanese Empire. What part of that spells out trustable?

Cot: Okay, I'll keep that in mind once I'm done in Russia.

Use the old one, or we can do both- if we want to RP them separately we should be given the choice. I want to keep that RP because I already had something in that thread.

Rome: The Ash Shariqah province is occupied by myself and Cotland, we're going to claim it as soon as it is confirmed in the RP that Nero's forces have left the area. Sorry dude.

And Spiz, I know all about the carrying of M-16's in the Falklands by British troops (give me some credit! ;)). My actual inquiry had to do with a picture of troops wearing all-US equipment and BDU's. I found the picture in a magazine that was published in the UK in the late 1980's detailing the conflict, and there was no caption beneath it, thus my puzzlement. I have since hear rumours that there were US Troops there, SOF, but it seems like conjecture to me. I doubt there would be any way to prove it, but the picture was still puzzling.

Well, the yanks did supply intelligence and satellite imagery to the Brits, so supplying SOFs to them wouldn't be too far-fetched...

Hey Nerotika, just a bit of clarification if you could:

Are the Syndicate-affiliated groups (the Russian Liberation Front and the rest) already in the nations that they will affect, or are they all currently in Japan waiting to be shipped over when Japan goes invading?

When you say that they're in the 'Pacific area' it sounds like they're already placed, but the names sound like governments-in-exile.

All parties groups and orginizations affiliated in the syndicate were started and are placed in the county they will affect. As of current though they are not rebellions. No one is attacking anyone...except the Aazad. The Syndicate is mainly a corporation that funds these groups because they are fighting for a 'just' cause and deserve to have the chance to show themselfs. In the pacific most fronts are pulling into position to aid Japanese advancments, due to contracts signed by the leaders of these groups The Syndicate gains control over the military force's that are contractes. All information about the current groups will be posted soon, but mainly to answer you bluntly yes, they are in the country they will affect.

Well, we never officially said anything icly. This is just all to be expected, so don't get your heads up.

FYI: I just took over Moscow, so you might want them to 'migrate' elsewhere.

Heh, the Soviet Socialist Party want to form the new Soviet Union. In order to do so they'd prefer to affiliate with capitalist terrorists who take orders from fascists rather than, you know, get support from a communist superstate which has backed groups such as themselves in the past. Granted, the UER is talking with the EOL and Cotland at the moment so there might be 'ideological differences' but not as vast as the ones between the Soviet Socialist Party and the Syndicate/Japanese Empire.

Besides, the only USSR we ever had in EII was Hogsweat (if I remember correctly), and that was in Southeast Asia. Pushka was the Russian Communist Republic for a while, so I guess that they could be successors to the RCR. Although the UER was practically the only state which truly recognised the RCR, so even then.....

Were there any other commie states during EII's history? I keep thinking of Pantheaa but I don't know if that's accurate or not.

Perhaps we should do an RP that is completely outside normal E2 continuality but still uses current information on E2 as its basis, ie, Aliens invading or something, it would be fun but wouldnt screw up E2

Spizania-Check your TG's.

I'm back! I am interested in Mahama-what's its name. I'll continue RPing in Funeral and Carousel as soon as possible. I enjoyed a Thanksgiving dinner of steak and fish and the rest of a huge buffet at the hotel. I think Spizania's idea is cool. We could get an FT nation to RP the alien assault. It would be a major distraction from Earth II though, so maybe we should finish up the current wave of RPs first.

Playing Medieval 2 has actually made me more interested in Medieval history

So i bought this book called "April Blood" about the failed assassination attempt on Lorenzo Medici in 1478...(who comes from the same family that exiled Nicclo Machiavelli out of Florence,) Its interesting cause the conspiracy goes all the way up to the pope who wanted Lorenzo died so he could take that land! Seems the pope wasn't above spilling blood for land gain.

Anyways those Italians run their politics like they do the MAFIA...basically if one Italian state attempts to kill a prince...the other states will conspire to kill back.

The best part of the book was how the author details the executions that took place in those days. They basically drag the dead bodies through the streets and then throw them in the river after cutting off their limbs and slaming thier heads in with rocks. Another guy who was caught poaching on the Duke of Milan’s land was sentenced to death…his punishment is that he had to sallow a live hare.

Anyways it would probably make a great RP if i could modernize the story. Nice to see i have new Russia neighbor as well….

Grand Duke Arrested!

http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/697/pgripelse006184783abb9.jpg

Kristiansand (VG): Grand Duke Rumillet was arrested by Air Force soldiers at Kjevik AFB earlier today for reasons unknown.

Earlier today, the plane carrying the Grand Duke of Saint Lazare, Albert Rumillet was forced down by Air Force fighters of the type F-25 Typhoon for reasons unknown as of yet to VG. Immediately after landing, everyone aboard the aircraft, including Grand Duke Rumillet were arrested and brought away by heavily armed soldiers.

Rumillet was released after almost an hour, according to VG's source, and resumed his voyage to Oslo in his own aircraft.

The reasons for the arrest are scetchy, but the most likely event for an aircraft to be forced down was because it violated the Cottish airspace without permission from the government. Could this step signalize a new shift in policy towards the Grand Ducy of Saint Lazare?

We will return with more as we get it.

VG (c) 2006

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs maintains its declaration that these media press releases are invariably false. The Grand Duke has been confirmed to be in the comfortable company of Cottish diplomats and delegates, and we demand that the Cottish government take steps to control the slander being placed upon the Grand Duke of our sovereign Dukedom.

The Royal Household has been informed of this libel, and the Madame La Duchess vows to take steps to control this slander. In her first public statement since the Royal Marriage last year, La Duchess declared: "The people who make such statements hopes to incite the anger of the people of the Grand Duchy against our allies in Cotland. There are enemies abroad in the world who seek to bring shame to this venerable house."

No further comments could be elicited, for sake of the Duchess's health. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs continues to insist that the reports are firstly false, and secondly unverifiable - since the principal actor [the Grand Duke] was absent at the scene when the reports so declared it to be so.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs inquires to the status of the Grand Duke in Cotland, and to the truth of the matter pertaining to the Grand Duke's arrest earlier today. We also demand a proper reasoning to the failure to disclose this information to the Ministry at an appropriate time.

Official Statement

Earlier today, the Grand Duke of Saint Lazare was briefly detained by Cottish authorities. It was the intention of the Grand Duke to surprise the King of Cotland with attending the latter's wedding, and as such, the Grand Duke did not inform the Cottish authorities that he was coming.

Therefore, when the aircraft appeared on Cottish radars, failing to reply to Air Traffic Control's hails, and when the aircraft violated Cottish airspace, fighter aircraft were dispatched to investigate. After visually identifying the aircraft as a private business jet without any special markings, it was ordered to land at Kjevik Air Force Base.

We would like to remind the world that this is a routine operation conducted when an unidentified aircraft violates our territorial airspace, and that it is an acceptable and highly legal course of action.

As soon as the aircraft had landed, its occupants were ordered out of the aircraft and were detained by Cottish security personnel as per standard operating procedure. It must be pointed out that no one involved on the Cottish side had any reason to believe that a foreign head of state was a passenger in the non-descript aircraft.

Upon being detained, the Grand Duke was transported to a holding facility where his identity was quickly discovered. At this point, the Grand Duke and his entourage were released and allowed to continue on his journey to Oslo without further delay.

The Realm wishes to offer its deepest appologies for the misunderstanding, and hopes that the Grand Duke has taken no harm from the incident. We do however hope that the Grand Duke will give a warning before he travels to Cotland again though.

OOC: LOL. So I guess there's no surprise birthday parties for Cotland...

You could show up to surprise the person. Just inform the government and ask that the apperance be kept a secret...

Hey, Pierce Brosnan was a great Bond. (He is Irish after all!)

Due to Pantheaa's bad reputation among citizens in the European countries, his majesty King Conrad VII and the Panthean royal family will not be attending the royal wedding, but he does send his congregations to the bride and groom. As well as the finest champagne in all of Pantheaa, some gold jewelry for both bride and groom worth up to 100,000 Jinxes, and a one year supply of Panthean beer, brewed fresh in Kursk...best dam beer in the world, and several pounds of cheese

The cheese and beer are what we are world reknown for!

They should arrive in a day or two...

Who could turn that down. Nice stuff. By the way Cotland, the Emperor is giving, as gifts, the following:

4 boxes of rare, finely made, precious Cuban cigars
rare spices from the Caribbean Islands
A beautiful gold watch for the King complete with a locket for the Queen
The use of the Sonne class yacht for their honeymoon as its first guests

FYI: 2 things about RTL (the storyline is taking an unexpected twist & printed to a PDF file it is 472 pages!)

Unfortunately, a Kreynorian delegation will not be able to attend the wedding, but the Divine Empire does send its congratulations to the newlyweds, and has sent a large tropical fruits display for them to enjoy at their leisure


[Signed]
Emperor Manuel III

Although Premier Zhao won't be attending the wedding for many and varied reasons, he does send his best wishes and hopes that it will be a long and blissful marriage. Of course, a gift is still being sent. A large 14th-century Ming Dynasty vase in blue and white is being carefully transported to Oslo by the Eastasian Foreign Ministry; the accompanying card is signed on behalf of the 'Eastasian people'.

QUESTIONS, COMMENTS AND ORDERS ARE ALL WELCOME.

It is with the deepest regret that President Baruti will be unable to attend this wedding. He is busy on a re-election campaign with requires his undivided attention. However as a token of friendship Baruti, along with the people of Africa, would like to offer one of our finest diamonds, Asase Ye Duru, for the engagement ring. The diamond has been valued at six million dollars. We hope you accept this gift as a cordial sign of friendship.

We are afraid the Consuls of Koryan will be unable to attend the wedding. The government has been very busy writting the nation's constitution and passing it's first laws, and frequent press conferences on all these developements aren't helping either. Consul Qusay does send gifts of Sandalwood Essential Oils, which is known to reduce anxiety, and fine silks.

Timespan question here

Alright from what it seems it's like this:

Cottish invasion of Kangaroo
King's Wedding
Beijing Summit

in so far as order goes.

What are the date's we're working with here?


Aside: I hope all like the new part of Ride the Lightning.

Royal wedding takes place a few days after the summit in China has ended. Kangaroo Island is dragging on, so it takes place as a background to all this.


Reply to the various RPs will come later tonight or maybe tommorrow if I don't find the time today.

So you're saying that your terrorist cells are in said countries already and ready to act, overnight, no RP'ing, no taking into account of anyone's border policies? I do believe we call that godmodding.

It might have taken awhile for me to respond to this but here ya go, first off I have not made a post about attacks in any of the areas. They did not move into the country they began in the country and were contracted into the syndicate through a mailing system of sorts. There is a limited contact between the Syndicate Council and the groups around the world. The Syndicate is just uniting orginization formed to better the country they were formed in. We did not form the group out of the country and move it in and also I do want the country involved to post an acknowledge of their exsistance, maybe a threat warning or somthing, infact I want other people to RP these groups instead of just me alone because that in my own personal view would be godmodding. If you need any more clearification please ask but I do believe that what I am doing skates on thin ice near godmodding but has not yet fallen through.

You can't just ask another nation to recognise a terrorist group they didn't want in their country in the first place. Only some people are interested in the terrorist thing.

Imperial Telegram
To the Cottish Government
From the Imperial Japanese Government

Dear Sirs and the King,

Despite our recent disagreements and military stand-offs, the Emperor of Japan would like to extend his best wishes to the Cottish Monarchy and congratulate the new couple on their success in the pursuit of love and happyness. We hope that both sides in this impending conflict may look upon this as a week of relaxation, and to perhaps clear the minds of our troops of heavy stress for now.

Sincerely,

The Imperial Japanese Government

Signed,

Emperor Kōka

Sorry about recently, something pretty shitty happened.

And no, Kōka is not his real name...it is his formal name :-P

Who says the conflict is 'impending'? Obviously you, but your the only one. You could put an end to the whole thing without resorting to conflict. Why you seem not to want to do this is beyond me, and probably beyond others watching this closely.

So you are saying that these "terrorist" elements and cells have existed in the "nations" already and the Syndicate just got in touch with them and formed a sort of loose confederation. Still, that, good sir, is godmodding. You cannot control groups or going-ons within others' countries and pop them up out of nowhere.

Layarteb is ranked 10th in the region and 14,609th in the world for Smartest Citizens.

So I've got some real bad news. Bjornoya's nation has been deleted by nation-states. Unfortunately, this means he's gone from here as well. He may have been on D13 mode but it still states if there is a deletion, the nation goes away. Unfortunately, this sucks ass.

So that means all of his land is free claim.

I'm going to claim ascension island & saint helena but he'll get it back if he comes back. If anyone has his e-mail or anything, please drop him a line.

It is beyond you that I have not seeked peaceful action?

So, are you stateing then that it is confusing that I have only made moves against and not towards...

I can not trust you, nor anyone, no longer. If you truely believe it is in my hands, you are mistakened. You, sir, failed to move that correct pawn at the correct turn.

I shall leave you with that.

Question for Kreynoria -

How did you manage to invade South Australia when there has been two active fleets blocking any naval pathway due to a long ago agreement, and the fact it is land locked??

Also, I see you never really finished your invasion, sort of just gave up on finishing saying something was approaching the shores...

TATO...nooo!

Well Im not sure how much i can claim but i would like to claim all that i can!

Me and Hirg might have a problem with anyone else! j/k but seriously.

Zanzibar, Angola, etc.

I'll claim Bjornoya's Russian lands. Should he return, it will be returned to him.

I'll be claiming some of Bjornoya's land in Africa. I stress anyone claiming any of his African lead should talk to me or USB first.

I claim the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Central African Republic, Togo, Benin, Ghana, Burundi, Rwanda, Equitorial Guinea and Uganda.

(My move from Russia to the Western US [via my land trade with Rome] freed up enough land to take all of these places, but Lay hasn't updated it yet. Just in case anyone was wondering.)


And Pyschotika, if you are saying the TOA are the belligerents here you are truly deluded. In fact, if you look back, we are NEVER the belligerents. Our motto is PAX PER VIRES (Peace Through Strength), we are most certainly not belligerents and if you wanted to move to peace talks we would accept them, you simply need to stand down from your designs on Kangaroo Island, and recognise that it is, and will for the forseeable future, be a part of the Cottish state. Not only that, but the Pacific needs to be recognised as a legitimate area of influence for both you, the TOA and other Asian nations. If these requirements were met I see no reason why war should/would be the answer.

To specify, I claim the following lands from the former Patriarchal Federation of Bjornoya.

Novaya Zemlya
Arkhangelsk
Nentsia
Komi
Vologda
Franz Josef Land

You can't just ask another nation to recognise a terrorist group they didn't want in their country in the first place. Only some people are interested in the terrorist thing.

well its not like simply saying you dont want it there means it'll go away. I just want to make this thing more realistic instead of all about land claiming and total conquest as it seems it is. With violent orginizations working inside countries, though I have not yet committed violent acts.

I know it needs alot of reworking especially with numbers and such thats kinda why I quite for a few days I was reworking all my figures and such. The Russian Liberation Front's numbers will be changed from its current to a much much much lower number round 13,000 or even less. A few groups are going to be pulled out and information and such will be released in full. As these will be citizens of the countries they are in and only the leaders will most likly be knowen to have ties with the syndicate then easy travel should be granted.

I believe this is a good idea if its reworked but sence im basically doing this alone its going to be alot tougher than it would be if someone helped me and im getting no help from any of you. Once I get this done trust me it`ll be alot better and more orginised as well as "legal" by EII terms

I'll be claiming some of Bjornoya's land in Africa. I stress anyone claiming any of his African lead should talk to me or USB first.

That made sense.

I know what you guys are planning to do, and it isn't going to happen. I'm not going to bend over backwards and let you guys trample around me, and I'm not going to let you guys keep on getting closer and closer to me.

The whole thing with Mari, the whole thing with takeing islands miles off the larger parts of my Empire...It's all one big preperation to do something, something very stupid.

You, sir, are ignorance at it's best. You can not teach an old dog new tricks, but you can ask it to perform those it knows. I know this trick, and you aren't going to make me think otherwise. As far as I'm concerned, it is in my legal right to militarise any of my coasts. At the moment, the TOA is acting on paranoid impulses.

Also, drop the fucking peace bull shit. I've read the fucking loophole, I talk with Layarteb quite fucking frequently. Your fundamentals are nothing near peace, it is only a way of protecting your own ass when somebody is irritated by dumb moves made by you or anyone in your alliance.

So, seriously, quit the crap. Because you aren't convincing me to stop anything or to start something.

Oh and how do you like this...

I claim the islands off the coast of California.

That was a political gesture more or less that was sort of a bad mood, which I think I forgot to mention the forces were told to stand down.

Remember how Japan invaded Nationalist China? It was a military impulse.

HAHAHA

all i have to say is how interesting it is that I outlasted a nation that once launched a war of genocide against me.

The kingdom will take control of all former Bjornoya businesses in my terroritory. What Bjornoya built for his profit will now be Pantheaa's profit. We are in no ways nationalizing them..as they will be auction off to Panthean business men. My nation shall have a big jump in economic activity as i take control of Bjornoya business within Pantheaa

Ha! Ha! Nice. You know there is a good deal of Russian territory up for grabs. Perhaps the Pantheaan people will want to expand?

Pys, I don't own California. Rome does. So your taking the islands there is no big deal to me, and I won't be provoked. I wanted a peaceful resolution and it looks like one has been achieved, thats good enough for me.

Eh, thought I saw somewhere he gave you land. Regardless, missiles are range now.

hmmmmm...

My stock market plan just might work now that there's little competition...

although pains must be lamented to those people who lost their fortune in the stock market collapse. I hope that Bjornoya does come back or is well in whatever else he/she/it does.


What's mine in India shall soon be resolved - I'm just giving it time [mostly for RL to back off my NS life...]

Rome still has California and Nevada. And so what if you missiles are in range? I have the best missile defense system on or off the planet. And I had missiles within range of Japan long before now...and yet I said nothing...and yet you still have the gall to call me and the TOA the aggressors.
Now seriously, stop trying to provoke me.

Nerotika [Post 16928]: Either way to slice it making up terrorist groups in other peoples' countries is godmodding.

Ok, I understand when im beaten. I`ll rework many other things, the worldwide terrorism idea obviously is hated by everyone, maybe its to treatening? I dont know but kepp The Syndicate thread up because i`ll be changing it around alot. The Scipian Mercinary Section is still going to be active and as for everything else i`ll cut the terror groups from the project and continue with a different Idea. This idea will be kept secret though, sorry so far only Psy knows what i`ll plan to do.

The Syndicate ties with Aazad though is still active.

Also can I get a list of October Alliance members? There doesn`t seem to be one anywhere and it would take to long for me to run through everyones signitures to see who is and who isn`t a member

One last thing before I sign off

If I were to claim open land as an orginization built up in that land would that be OK?

I was thinking instead of saying the Russian Liberation front was created inside a claimed country would it be fine if I said it was created in uncontroled territory in russia and is backed by the syndicate. Basically the land is lawless so a group of people orginize together and to get funding they contact The syndicate which backs these orginizations. They receive funding for weapons and such and begin a revolution in the uncontrolled territory. Numbers would be small though to ensure it would be more realistic.

I was thinking of claiming these territories of russia
Kirov
Permyakia
Perm
Kostroma
Vologda
Yaroslavl
Ivanovo
(Dont know if those are cities or the actual territory, took it off the real-life map though)

Before I go ahead and claim anything at all I need to know if you would allow that.

IF you do allow it then instead of being knowen as the Islamic State of Aazad I would be knowen as the United Nations of The Syndicate

right, il claim the maldives,, RP to be up in a couple of hours.

Bit too tired for a full length RP, and the islands are pretty small sizewise

As for Vologda, I've already claimed it.


Ok, I`ll exclude that but I still dont want to commense operations until I know for sure I wont be bitched out for godmodding. Another example of what im doing is like the same thing with the Aazad, they were created in those districts and began to take of the land sence it was uncontrolled. The only thing im concerned about is that its a seperate orginnization in another country fighting for freedom under the Syndicate same as the Aazad, I dont know it just sounds like somthing someone here would be mad about.

Ha! Ha! Nice. You know there is a good deal of Russian territory up for grabs. Perhaps the Pantheaan people will want to expand?

Only if i can get a non agressive act signed by TOA...i dare not go into former TOA land

I know how TOA works as soon Bjornoya gets back he will want all his land back and TOA will be more then happy to fork it over. I wouldn't give his land back as i considered it compensation for past actions. Thus it will be another "bouvet island sitution" in which 300000000 cottish warships circled an ice cube that had a population of 10 panthean scientist.

My foreign policy is simple...stay away from TOA, even if its a former TOA member who is losing their land. I stay out of your hair you stay out of mine

Can I get Kenya back now?

Individual members might want to give Bjorn his land back but there's no requirement to do it. Those who would do so would do so because they respect him as a player. You don't have to give it back, it's up to you. I don't see why the TOA would have a problem with you claiming "unclaimed" land?

It's childish, it's just the big stick game.

Anyways, I salute you with an extended finger but I must say...

Hello there.

I am officially laying claim to the following Bjornoyian lands in Africa:

Nigeria
Cameroon
Gabon
Congo
Sao Tome & Prinicpe Islands

RP to follow for stabilization purposes.

-Hawdawg

Talk to USB?! The deal wasn't even legitimate! We agreed it would be transferred as a result of a planned war, which never happened. Therefore, Kenya is still in Kreynorian position and still has the Kreynorian military and defenses (some of the most formidable in the world) protecting it. And same goes to Hawdawg.

Question for Kreynoria -

How did you manage to invade South Australia when there has been two active fleets blocking any naval pathway due to a long ago agreement, and the fact it is land locked??

Also, I see you never really finished your invasion, sort of just gave up on finishing saying something was approaching the shores...

Please name the agreement, as as far as I'm concerned, I have not dealt with you diplomatically since you left Pacifinesia, and rarely did so before that. I didn't give up, I was in Florida. And finally, you can check the map because it is sure as hell not landlocked.

And I am happy to say I have not lost anything with the end of the Bjornoyan International Stock Exchange, but I am definitely not happy at Bjornoya's removal from EII. It sucks.

On another note, Pacifinesia members seem to be dropping like flies: Huahin, Terronian, Dweladelfia...That leaves only me, Marimaia, and Neuvo Rica. I think it's time for another recruitment drive.

Easy Kreynoria, don't get your panties in a wad. USB has already laid claim to Tanzania and Kenya it seems as the maps show it under his control. I have only laid claim to the open Bjorn. lands along the Eastern Africa Coastline. I posted Tanzania and Kenya off of the Bjorn. holdings before I looked at the map.

-Hawdawg

I was thinking of joining up, but one look at that map made me reconsider applying...*Is scared*

There's much Russian lands still available if you hurry. Don't worry. We don't bite.

...hard...

Well, for the first time in many months, my elephant storefront has received an order! It is still open, and I will offer a ten percent discount to EII nations (easier shipping and handling:) ). You can buy an entire platoon of them for the cost of one tank; we offer a variety of weapons, defenses, and accessories to ensure that they are competitive with modern vehicles. They don't need spare parts, don't consume expensive oil (just food), and they reproduce! Can a tank do that?

The claim was legitimated. You guys agreed to do the claim first and RP later rather than the other way around. Since Bjorn went kaput, the land goes to free claim. USB freely claimed it.

I was thinking of joining up, but one look at that map made me reconsider applying...*Is scared*

I'm not sure I'm following you?

It's just the maps are so confusing to me i can barely make any headway with them, i cannot tell if there are any territories in Europe that have not been taken and any information of anything NOT taken is most likely not updated...

Inotherwords: Confusion extremus. >_<

ST, as I said earlier, large Russian territories remain unclaimed. You can claim them if you hurry. Maps are updated regularily.

If the territory isn't colored (i.e. it's white) it's open.

Estonia, Pskovskaya oblast (Russian Province near Estonia area) and Leningradskaya oblast are the most convenient ones that are unclaimed...Fornow.

Therefore if possible i would like to request the considering of my joining the game under these 3 small area's.

Thanks for the help and time.

I thought I had Leningrad Oblast?

-Hawdawg

Read the name again "Leningradskaya oblast.

Different province.

Eh, as you can see here (http://www.theforsakenoutlaw.com/Graphics/Nation-States/Earth2/Maps/russia.jpg), Leningrad Oblast is already controlled by Hawdawg. Other than that, you're good to go. Welcome to Earth II, the longest-running Earth(TM)!

The first two are fine but Leningrad is claimed by Hawdawg. You sure you weren't meaning Pskov & Smolensk?

Read the name again "Leningradskaya oblast.

Different province.

Leningradskaya Oblast and Leningrad Oblast are the same... See the Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leningrad_Oblast) for information.
Leningrad Oblast (Russian: Ленингра́дская о́бласть, tr.: Leningradskaya oblast) is a federal subject of Russia (an oblast) located in the Northwestern Federal District and named after the revolutionary Vladimir Lenin.

Bah, i cannot remember Russian names very well, the map i used was very difficult to use so i might have gotten the wrong province by accident.

One moment while i check AGAIN.

Just use the two we have, the Real-Life & the claim map, they're both identical.

Fine fine, as long as i don't have to say the names in public (RL) then i'm alright.

You can call them whatever you like. You can rename cities, etc. So do you just want Estonia and Psk or those two and Smolensk?

I Choose Estonia, Psk and Smolensk for $300. ;)

Thanks, but now i'm Emotionally Exhausted and Morally Bankrupt. ;)

Any idea as to what type of state you're setting up and what its name shall be? One other thing, could you post what population you'll be using. You don't have to use your full NS population (i.e. I have over 6.6b and I rp 1.26b) but you can use all of it if you desire, you just can't exceed what you have.

The claim was legitimated. You guys agreed to do the claim first and RP later rather than the other way around. Since Bjorn went kaput, the land goes to free claim. USB freely claimed it.



I'm not sure I'm following you?

No, we were informing you in advance of what would happen because we didn't want any last minute "You know, I don't want to give you Kenya."

How did Kenya go into Bjorn's possession ingame? It just suddenly changed one day? I was (unintentionally) cheated! Bjorn agreed to a war RP and for whatever reason disappeared and I lose my land without a fight! I didn't sell or trade for it! That means the Chagos Archipelago and the other island chain that starts with a C is free claim and Kenya is mine, since I never took them in the war. If I don't get back what is rightfully mine, I will contest USB's claim.

The Government-Type is going to be a Monarchy, with Estonia and the two Russian provinces combined it shall be called 'Trensk', as for Pop, i'll be using 900m population. That

(Puppet posting) You can take me off D13 now.

Cotland [Post 16942]: Claim added.
Nerotika [Post 16949]: Claims added except Volgada, which was claimed by Cotland in 16942. Name changed as well. You can form your own terrorist group and such that is fine, you can have them being of different nationalities, so long as they're in your land and such. What you can't do is determine what others do in their own land. Now if you want to start an RP and get a terrorist group in another land you can try for it but remember you can't do anything as such without permission.
Spizania [Post 16950]: Claim added.
Spizania [Post 16954]: RP added.

Doomingsland: Please post your "RP'd Population" in this thread. This is not what your NS population is but what you claim to have when you RP.

Kreynoria;12023664']On another note, Pacifinesia members seem to be dropping like flies: Huahin, Terronian, Dweladelfia...That leaves only me, Marimaia, and Neuvo Rica. I think it's time for another recruitment drive.

Perhaps we could have a summit meeting just to revitalise our cooperation, since we haven't had any meetings for way too long.

Of Kreynoria. I am/was still D13 on the claims list, spreadsheet, etc.

I think that would be a good idea. Where do we hold it?

Have it in the Empire :).

Nah, just kidding...Choose somewhere lavish & nice. Kreynopolis?

Not that you have to worry about it anymore thanks to the wonderful Germanians but the fiery spirit of revolution from Kaliningrad may have been exported throughout that area. The Empire was defeated by the Kaliningradians in 2000 in a phyrric victory and though we lost FAR less people than they did, we know that a lot of their "bad guys" did escape the borders, before the Germanian suppression.

I was thinking more along the lines of Tahiti, Kreynoria's ultra-modern city. The only place in the Divine Empire where prostitution, alcohol consumption, gambling, and nude beaches are legal. The architecture, the clothing, and just about everything else are a lot more modern and less conservative than the rest of Kreynoria.

Nude beaches huh? Consider myself there, for the beaches...

Oh i'm not worried about Revolution, anyways i'll be posting my 'Official' declaration as a nation very soon, i'll post the link here as soon as it's ready. ;)
