Official Announcement from the Russian Federation

In light of recent events I have authorized Russian forces to engage in an operation to protect Spizanian lands against Hirgizstanie forces. We will not stand by idly as Hirgizstan is about to commit yet another war crime. We wish this conflict to be resolved and compromise to be reached but until that happens we will do our best to force Hirgizstanies to conduct warfare in an honorable way.

I am not going to perform any sort of preemptive attacks or counteroffensives on your forces. I will protect his mainland from Hirgizstan's attacks against the civilian population and should such attacks continue I will strike against the one responsible. I will also not allow you to invade his mainland. Unless you want this to become a much bloodier conflict than it has to be I suggest all of you get back to the diplomatic table.

I am not involved in actual combat operations. But since we are on the topic of coming to the table are you going to post anything in the summit I set up or what? I thought we were actually heading somewhere with it. LOL, you telling me to get back to the table is about like me telling you what to do. Russian vs. Texan = in hard headedness.

As far as concerned about bloody, I could easily walk across the border in Spiz's middle eastern territories but I won't, I am not interested in territory. I would like for him to explain how he has a 99% kill ratio with his missile defense setup on his fleet. A missile flying at supercruise speeds shouldn't be able to be hit with that kind of accuracy. As I have said many pages back, the RP is at a point where fantasy has taken over for reality. Modern Tech or even PMT doesn't have that kind of accuracy. Nothing is or ever will be that accurate in MT times. I haven't seen any specs on his systems to justify such accuracy. If so, let's see the data to back it up. Sadly pride won't let the RP actually be a good one, for I could see devistating losses on both sides. I pull my line of thinking from a great post listing modern naval warfare by Praetonian awhile back. It discusses how modern combat on the high seas would unfold with typical NS members at war. Its a very good read BTW.

On a side note, Charlton Heston died this morning. It is a sad day indeed.

Why do you and others need to fight a war with him to get him to explain the unrealistic technology involved in the missiles that he is using? That sounds like something that should be discussed in an OOC thread on Lay's forum.

Hawdawg, I do that using a rather simple method.... I simply toss missiles at it until the inbound isnt there, those Khans were defeated only because the Khans were engaged with over NINE DEFENDING MISSILES EACH.
In addition Cotland had at that point not loaded the countermeasures carousels with anything except a small anaemic jammer system that could not possibly have drawn sufficient power to interrupt the massive EW resources I have available. Finally he completely ignores the Escorts and sends the missiles straight at the capital ships
The Imsdals and "Penguins" were engaged with three missiles each, which actually gives a one-on-one effectiveness rating of approximately 70% Which is well within the capabilites of the missiles available, especially considering how easy a target those missiles are.

Nice one.

In Hirgizstan there are only 1000 suits, for 700 soldiers. Nobody else can use them. They have to be trained from kids and monitored carefully as the suit uses a Direct Neural Interface (DNI) wired directly into their spinal cord. It allows them to control things by thinking. Its SB's idea, and the way he described it, only people specially conditioned and trained could use it, as normal people would probably die or go mad etc.

Yeah I only use it for my Spetsnaz, I also mentioned BU-2 and BU-3 in some of my RPs but never did the write up (it was never directed against another nation). DNI stuff seems to be unnecessary, better train them how to use buttons plus less of a risk of being called PMT. But whichever way you want to do it.
Hirgizstan
08-04-2008, 18:43
Well, SB used the DNI thing for them to control their movements etc, I didn't as I thought that was a bit far out. The DNI is used for them to control the suits non-movement functions, like bringing up info on the visors etc.

You see, all my ground military are equipped with Land Warrior (computer, visor, gun-sight so they can shoot around corners) and to access info you have to use a little keypad that wraps around the left or right forearm. In battle it can be kind of tricky but its better than nothing.

However, I wanted the CENTURION Battle Armor to be the ultimate, the best etc. So I thought it would help by taking away fiddly joysticks etc so they could access info while fighting, as thats all they are really supposed to do in these suits. Plus, the DNI is permanent (it is a little box attached to the base of the neck, it connects to the suit when its put on) so the soldiers can talk to each other without saying anything even when the suit is off, very handy!

There's an RP in LOS where I talk about it, maybe on Page 2, not sure. I'm hoping to get another RP into LOS soon where the CBA is used.
Pushka
08-04-2008, 21:20
Yeah I also use Land Warrior type system for my regular troops, BU-1 just has a lot more features. But yeah, its all good, personally I think I need to do a series of upgrades on my military, lots of ideas floating around in my head, getting hard to arrange them all in a coherent order.

*public disappointment is rising exponentially

*piracy is beginning to occur in the Caribbean

*media outlets are beginning to get information of some of the most sinister military operations the empire has conducted and shed public light on them

A small Swedish weapons developer company that's trying to pitch their MP7-version without much success. The Swedish military funded it in the early 2000s but withdrew from it, as did the British military. I doubt it'll get adopted by any military (or anyone else), as it uses a very specialized ammunition that has to be introduced with all the hassles and costs that entail.

These mammoth battleships will fight alongside the mighty Earthquake class in defending the high seas from enemies. The Imperial Layartebian Navy has planned to commission twelve of these vessels and the next four are expected to be launched in 2010 with their commissioning in 2013.

Official Statement
Holy Republic of Hawdawg

After careful review, we have initiated the steps of recognizing the nation of Khorsun. We have dispatched Olivia McKee to act as our ambassador to the capital and we hope to put the finishing touches on various trade deals and diplomatic issues this week. We welcome our new neighbor to the Australian/Southern Pacific Region.


Signed,


Gordon Wells
Prime Minister
Holy Republic of Hawdawg



--------------------------

OOC: In relations to trade issues: FTA's, duty-free shopping for tourists, etc. Olivia is a good person she should fit in quite nicely. She is a graduate of Oxford but was raised by her parents on a Sheep Farm outside of Alice Springs, Aust.

As an interesting side not all of my diplomats must have some type of association with farming or livestock operations in addition to formal college training before they are allowed to represent the Republic abroad. Food production is the key to our survival and must be understood.

As for the drinking limit, its not that big of an issue you can still get booze here.

And now you shall feel what it is like to be a Russian, young grasshopper. Something I feel every waking moment...its kinda nice.

As for the drinking limit, its not that big of an issue you can still get booze here. The issue is that cops here are assholes, they want you to curl into a ball or assume a fetal position then they aproach you. Not like in Russia, in Russia any issue can be resolved with a simple conversation, as equals, if money needs to be exchanged so be it, but thats not always necessary.

Ah, so you admit the Russian police accept bribes....I'll keep that in mind. :D

The only open Aussie land is
Australia (Kangaroo Island) 1,700.78
*Australia (Australian Capital Territory) 939.00
*Australia (New South Wales) 309,431.96
*Australia (Queensland [part]) 308,802.03
*Australia (South Australia) 402,903.05
*Australia (Tasmania) 26,303.98
*Australia (Victoria) 87,884.20
*Australia (Western Australia [part]) 243,980.01


The ones with the * mean they have to be claimed through RP and your population limits you to 50,000 square miles in your claim.

May I claim Tasmania and Kangaroo Island, then. That adds up to 28,004.76 square miles, which is within my 50,000 limit.

My methodology is this:

@ 18 you can: drive a vehicle, own a firearm, die for your country, smoke cigarettes, vote, be tried as an adult in a court of law, claim yourself on your taxes, be legally thrown out of the house, work without child labor laws, get a bank loan [not a great one though], run for any office of the government [save for President & Senate], get married [varies throughout the US as per age but this is the oldest limit], serve on a jury, and I am sure there is more here that I am missing....but you can't have a drink... if the government trusts you with a vote, an M16A4 assault rifle, a 5,000 lb. SUV, a cigarette, and the ability to decide the fate of your fellow citizens, then it should trust you with a drink!

We also don't let the immature 16-year olds drive cars like you do, something which helps on the statistics, and we learn how to drive real cars (i.e. none of that automatic transmission crap you're so addicted to). That, combined with good education and severe punishments (up to 15 000 NOK in fines or up to six months in prison if you can't pay the fine, immediate loss of drivers license and up to five years before you are allowed to take the driver's exam again so you can get the license back). That, combined with the fact that an 18-year old understands better why s/he shouldn't drink and drive than a 16-year old does, even with the hefty punishments and the rather graphical pictures they show us at driving school about what happens when someone drinks and drives. Let's just say that pictures of a mutilated human being who's had a front-to-front collision with another car at 80 km/h because they were driving drunk and got themselves into the other lane with subsequent abrupt stop and face-dive into the asphalt 20 meters away from the collision site isn't pretty... Don't drink and drive.

Actually, Cotland, the drinking age in the USA isn't determined by the Bible Belt losers. It dates back to the early 1980s. Drunk driving incidents were rather high, especially among 18 year olds and what not. Then again, back then, drunk driving had far less of an emphasis than it does today. For states to get aide for their highways, they had to do a number of changes: lower the speed limits to 55 mph and increase the drinking age to 21. The law was officially changed in 1984 from 18 to 21. It was actually opposed by the Conservative Party of New York, the same party that has all those bible-hugging morons.

"However, most states still permit 'underage' consumption of alcohol in some circumstances. In some states, no restriction on private consumption is made, while in others, consumption is only allowed in specific locations, in the presence of consenting and supervising family members, and/or during religious occasions." <-- a very factual statement


Sorry Cot, not the religious wackos this time...

As a side note the age is 20 in Japan.

I personally believe the majority of underage drinking occurs because the kids are not allowed to do it legally, therefore it makes them feel "bad" in a sense. Most of time I drink it's a pretty chill environment, I hate going to high school parties with all those "OC" type kids acting like because they drink they suddenly become adults. Its them who fuck it up, when it becomes legal for a person they no longer see those parties where everyone is gulping down the liquer in a goal to get drunk. With the people I hang out with the goal is to simply have a good time and sure get drunk while at it but its not the original goal, we don't jump the alchohol for a chance to get dizzy. For one of those regular HS kids (Note- I don't go to a regular High school, I go to a sort of community college type high school) they go to get the alch on a quest to get drunk leaving them fucked up and ready to drive after a night of consistant drinking...

In short...I hate those rich fucks who get life handed to them on a silver platter, thank god I don't go to my old school cause by now there would be no Nero I would have already gone columbine style there. Its just this, this school and another one were built at the same time and both have the same look the one I went too was nice, clean and relativly safe whereas the other one in same amount of years went to complete shit. The one I went to was located in what would be concidered the "Rich" part of town, the other one wasn't. Now before you say that you've seen this sort of thing before or whatnot mind you I live in a extremely small city, there is no ghetto or anything here. Basically its not that the rich area provided anything different then the other school its that the image had to look nice to fit in with the area, the other school sits in the middle of large field surrounded by buisinesses and one middle class residential area and yet it looks as though someone just took a metal bat to the place for several days.

In the Empire if you cause a car accident while under the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol you are met with a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years to 25 years. If you injure someone it is a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years to 50 years. If you kill someone you face capital punishment. You also never get to drive again, even if you don't injure someone.

That's one argument for it and drugs: they do it because it's illegal so if you legalize it the "middle road" people doing it to be cool suddenly will stop. However, I think the actual number of these people are massively lower than what really exists. If you legalize drugs especially you're going to see usage rates go through the roof. You will probably see a large increase in drunk driving related accidents too if it is lowered to 18, especially in the first year but I think that, eventually it will taper off to what it remains now.

Either way, you'll be creditted to the design (And if you don't want to do the whole thing just a rough draft would do, I can fill in blanks and even present a picture if properly advised on what the persons ideal image of his jet would be).

I don't think it is logical to compare America and Europe when it comes to such things as alcohol consumption, school systems, etc. It is a cultural difference that has been developing for hundreds of years.

Correct me if I am wrong but countries like Germany, France, and Italy bring their kids up drinking wines and such. It is something born into their heritage. So that allows them to better understand it and control themselves.

Not so in the States. You are introduced usually for the first time in any large amounts in late middle school and highschool. Kids develop bad habits and continue to develop bad habits all the way through college. Add the fact that laws are much more lenient here and you have a recipe for disaster.

There is no difference between 16 and 18 except that you get more pimples and a job. Until you're 21 just do us a favor and crash in your friends basement not into an innocent bystander.

SUV, a cigarette, and the ability to decide the fate of your fellow citizens, then it should trust you with a drink!

Ok so I guess I'm in.

2 Things. 1 - At the age of 18 the brain is still developing. You don't want a permanently skrewed brain.
2 - Maybe they don't want you drunk while you're carrying you M16A4 Assault rifle.

In my opinions, arguing about these things is as stupid as saying you drive better under drug influence (I've heard that several times in RL) or that its a good idea to drink until you black out and wake up in a car accident.

Watched a little of "No Country for Old Men.", hell of a movie so far. If you haven't seen it they have it up on some japanese site, Toudou.com or something. But in all from what i've seen it's turning out to become a favorite of mine.

In IC News -

Earlier this evening Former Chairman Darinsky took fire and was wounded in the leg from a would-be assassin on his trip to the Chechen States. This trip was apart of his continuing duty on the stabilization of the Chechen States panel of which he is a member. He was orginally going to travel throughout every territory that make up the states but upon arriving in Grozny, the capital of the states, a rebel sniper fired eight confirmed shots at him and his guard. The rebel was arrested without any casualties. The attempt, however, was met with much criticism from civilians who witnessed the attack. Angry shouting from a growing mob, along with items being thrown, met the assassin on his way out handcuffed and surrounded by military personnel. The man was taken to the nearby Fort Louis for questioning and trial most believe will result in an execution date. The name of this assassin is unknown by public ear, more information will follow.

Man had fun today [sunburn but there was very little sun]. Graduation was outdoors for the CG recruits so it was excellent. Small drill team of recruits only [remember they had been there a maximum of 8 weeks] did a fine job tossing around some M1 Garands with fixed bayonets [two drops but c'mon they're 8 weeks in not the professional teams you see that practice 20 times a day for months]. Anyway yeah graduation was fun and good to see, band was awesome too and of course Cape May is gorgeous. It's cool though my friend's company won every pennant award there was to win and was basically the top company in over a year there so good stuff to them!

Here's actually a picture of his company with the USCG commandant who came to visit a few days ago. Cool Stuff (http://cgvi.uscg.mil/media/main.php?g2_itemId=258971&g2_imageViewsIndex=1).

Land-Population Matrix
under 50k sq. mi. = population not important°
50k to 500k sq. mi. = population of minimally 101m°
500k to 1.0m = population of minimally 500m
1.0m to 2.0m = population of minimally 1.0b
2.0m to 3.0m = population of minimally 2.0b
3.0m to 4.0m = population of minimally 3.0b
4.0m to 5.0m = population of minimally 4.0b
5.0m to 5.5m = population of minimally 5.0b
5.5m to 6.0m = population of minimally 6.0b
6.0m to 6.5m = population of minimally 8.0b

By the looks of the maps, there doesn't seem to be any real land left, especially not Down Under. Still, I had no idea Colodia was so influential in the International Incidents forum to have created Earth II. I just know him from Particracy and NSG.

Still, however, I shall wait for another restart of Earth II as I should have sufficient population available for a large claim due to the Land-Population Matrix. If only someone can remind me of when I will be able to play THE GAME.

The restart of E2 was November '04 and chances are won't be happening again. There is a good bit of land available and, down under, a lot of it is under contestation. A good place to grab some, especially for people @ their land limit.

Introducing the P-23 CSN Officer Sidearm

http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/8505/p23officergk5.th.jpg (http://img264.imageshack.us/my.php?image=p23officergk5.jpg)

Type: Double Action
Caliber: 9mm Kruz/.380 ACP
Weight Unloaded: 740 g
Barrel Length: 90 mm
Total Length: 174 mm
Capacity: 8 Rounds

With a unusual load system the pistol is not "cocked" technically and instead is loaded by sliding a small lever back to release the bullet into the chamber. The lever fixes shut and the weapon fires and expells used cartrages with a rifle like eject system. The weapon is combat proven but has been reseved to be produced only to officers of the Nerotikan armed forces as well as police sgt.'s and captains. The left side of the weapon, upon presentation to the reciepiant, has etched into it the date of the weapons presentation as well as a special insignia chosen by the reciever upon promotion to officer. Common choices are Nerotikan family crests, stranger ones have chosen items that resemble nicknames, an ace for someone nicknamed "Ace" and so on.

The weapon has already been sent out to seventy officers who had just graduated out of the officer academy near Voldagrad, the weapons will be presented by Chairwomen Victoria along with a special presentation for her to restart an old Nerotikan tradition of adorning leaders with a special weapon for show. The P-23 designed for the chairwomen is an entirly white body, solid black hand grips and old Nerotikan imperial designs laced in gold covering edges of the weapon's 3d body.

Well smoking weed finally bit me in the ass, although I didn't know police had such a passion of hatred against the plant.

The cop that I had constantly complained that the smell was giving her a headach (After I had been in several classes and not a single person had mentioned a thing) and I wasn't caught for a smell, just assosiation with someone who had been caught. Anyway, as this cop complained she carried on about why it's not fair for me to bring the substance into the school when people with prior convictions arn't allowed to live near the school...wait so am I to assume its not fair that I get to the kids in the school first or something?...I wasn't sure where she was going with that arguement. Then she proceeded to explain, at every given oppertunity, every little detail of something you would here from a propaganda video...ooo now arn't those fun tidbits of fear ads. After awhile of this it was obvious I was bored, by now I agreed with whatever she said...just didn't care anymore...and it all ended. But, the way it began would have to be the funniest, I sat in the office with my principal, a great guy that I was laughing with over a joke about how his job is just to sit on his ass and assure the weather will be ok (He was checking the weather and I had mentioned that his job seemed simple enough) and the officer walks in and immediatly assumes I must be laughing cause im high (Which mind you I wasn't very much) and she bursts angrily at me with "You think this is funny?", a stern look on her face.

Now this officer is a black women, now a white women or man for some reason I can talk to even a black dude you can get along with but she really was taking her job to the max, almost military. Then her phone rang with a ring tone that forced me to use every last strength in my body not to burst into laughter, it was an 80's pop tone...not sure of the title. But mind you when she asked if I thought it was funny I shut up quickly and got confused as fuck, now I understand my principal changing his tone to look more professional but she came in so quick she just seemed to shoot me on the spot and I just looked at her and fumbled over the word "What?" which couldn't of looked good.

But, sure its bad and now I have the system to deal with but in all even after being searched I still escaped with my pipe...took my ciggerettes and my lighter for some reason which I just didn't want to bother with, I had more at home and three other lighters as well. I still think though, $100 bucks im fine with for my fine but I have to go to court because it was possesion so that means I have to pretend to fight to pay them 100 bucks plus the complusory 40 court cost even though it would be easier for me to just say, yes im guilty take my money.
