How does I have every language possible
lol

And I thought it was too much:

Again, there are probably Swedish, Finnish, Russian, Polish... there are anarchists from every corner of the world residing there, but I wouldn't bother to type all spoken languages in the main NS Confederacy.

As for Goodrule Spanish Three, I will start it up on Saturday, when my time is plenty.

Yeah I look forward to the introductory RP.

I've just learned that I'll be doing a ten day trip to Europe this summer! Sometime in early June my father and I will hopefully be arriving in Copenhagen to visit my cousin before heading out to (and this is our first look, subject to change): Amsterdam, Munich, Paris, and Zurich.

Any suggestions or tips would be cool.

That sounds pretty epic.

ILDF To Adopt New Attack Boat
SGT. Sherman Hoyt, MOD

TODAY the Imperial Layartebian Defense Forces announced a decision to adopt the Marlin class fast patrol craft. The Marlin class is an high-speed, well-armed, attack craft that is designed to operate in the Caribbean Sea and in the littoral areas of the Empire of Layarteb. The Marlin class uses a CODAG propulsion system and an air-cushion to travel at high velocity over the water in order to deploy troops in times of emergency. Designed for littoral combat, the Marlin is equipped with a 57mm/70 caliber rapid-fire gun, point-defense missiles, and anti-ship missiles. The first boat is scheduled to reach service in March of this year. The ILDF has yet to quote a figure but each ship costs $50,000,000.00.

Today, Anatoly Gluhov, the Presidential spokesman announced at a press conference held at the historic 'Voronej House of Drujba'; that an economic deal has been reached between the Russian Federation and the nation of Nehrland. The deal involves giving a green light to the creation of privately owned joint ventures between Russian and Nehrlandian fossil fuel companies to develop the vast fields of oil and natural gas on Nehrlandian territory. Nehrland will benefit from Russian investment in its energy sector as well as the technological know how in developing its natural resources. According to Mr.Gluhov "the Federation in return gains a valuable partner and a chance for a very beneficial and productive economic relationship."

The deal has already went through both the Duma and the Senate and thus is now officially approved by the Federation's parliament. President Igor Stepanov is expected to sign it later today. News of a similar ratification from the side of Nehrland are awaited in the next few days.

This has been Natalya Androsova, reporting for RNC from the 'House of Drujba'. Back to you Oleg.

Post up in the GGTL thread.

Hey guys. As you may or may not have noticed, I haven't really been doing much here for the past six months after I said that I would be less busy. There's a few good reasons for that. I've been starting to pay more attention to University in the hopes of improving my less-than-perfect grades, and I've met a few special someones, both of which has required me to take time from other activities such as NS. Due to my intention to carry along this new and better(?) path, I've got to make some sacrifices, and I've decided that Earth II has to be one of these. So, consider this my resignation from Earth II.

As for my territories, I'm giving the Benelux countries to Gataway (consider it an appology for the little border skirmish we had). Nero gets my southeastern Russian lands, up to and including Kostroma and Yaroslavl. I would like the Scandinavian countries (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark) to go into the newbies only portion, while the rest can be offered to anyone who wants it. All I ask is that you make a good and proper roleplay when you nab it.

It's been a great four year run, and despite whatever differences we might have had, I can say that many of you guys are among the best RPers I've ever RP'd with. I wish you guys all the best in the future.

In which case, I'm RPing for Arkangelsk Oblast, Franz Josef Land, Karelia Republic and Komi Republic in "The Winter War", and I'll give up on Voronezh and Volgograd.

Speaking of which rome, I sent you a TG actually subjected on such territory...If your not interested in my proposal (My proposal is up for negotiations so if you at least consider it and want anything else from my end...I mean, you probably get more out of the deal then I do if your not thinking in terms of land) then I will just take these off your hands in a nice peaceful manner rather then leave them out to such a harsh wild as anarchy is.

Also, cot...we may have had some problems in the past but understanding that that was simple neighborly love I will miss you. Without you my only rival in russia is now push, I thank you for the land and I promise a good RP with it. Of course I'll make sure your people fight brilliantly to defend the cottish homefront, they may get crushed but least I can do to honor your memory is have them fight their hearts out. (If you could, before you make a final farewell, give a reason I can work with for your nations sudden weakness...otherwise im going to use state spies to assassinate high members of government and lets face it I know that I would have never been able to pull off that sort of move on you)

Wow, well Cot, goodbye, we've had our differences but it was fun RPing with you all the same. Hell, you were my first ally on EII if I remember correctly. Times be changin'. Good luck man, with everything.

Hey Nero, you mind if I help you out with dissecting some Vikings?

Is that a Soul Calibur influence?

No I searched for names of demons and that got picked.

Don't worry lay, I promise to do this peacefully...at least as peaceful as possible. We want to assure your military forces that they will be a top priority in the territory, so long as they don't prove to be a threat they will be allowed to leave or even, if the empire is willing, help the state establish a stable hold on the territories.

We are going on the honorable military rule, don't fire unless fired upon, so if you turn your guns on us we will only return the favor.

Oh and I would like to reclaim the Leningrad oblast and stake a navel claim on Novaya Zemlya...I believe we should try to have a major member drive with all this land opening up and with the land already open. Were loosing some strong nations and its kind of sad, that being said I know he had some problems before but Pyschotika wanted to come back if you would let him lay. You know he's a good RPer and he'd provide some much needed life into EII...so at least think about it I mean it has been awhile and all. You don't really have to deal with him if you dont want to.

Oh and Vologda...thought I should at least nab what I can

Push, I figure me alone will give cot's reason to fight hard...imagine if I brought in russian troops...they'd be PISSED. Although I would like to build a co-op navel station with you on Novaya if your willing and from there we can discuss "other matters"...primarly what we were talking about a while back.

three posts in a row, w00t w00t...anyway so I came up with something that might make cot happy and the rest of you hate me. Here cotland never fell, not like NG did I know cot doesn't wanna go out like that and personally I dont want him to. Say the peace agreement signed really did take effect and the realm lowered defenses across the border of the state, seeing this as a good opportunity the state launches a missile strike on cottish defense satellites (Information of which was gathered by state intelligence). As the realm military moves to respond to the threats the state launches a massive wave of air bombardments across military bases, SAM sites and ICBM launch pads (across the whole of realm in russia, I know rome wants those other territories but to make this good I have to at least attack them) at the same time conducting a ground invasion of Kostroma and Yaroslavl to cut the territories below off from supplies and to completely surround them. To tie in my claims a navel attack is launched on Novaya and a ground invasion of St. Petersburg also occur. As this happens the state launchs nuclear weapons toward the cottish capital, this is what would shatter the realm and leave it in the state it would be in. In this scenario though Lay, your forces would most likely engage mine to defend your OA ally as well as Hirg if he's still around. This may sound a little bullyish but the OA is done for, its down to two main members now so this would be a good time to wage all out war and shatter the OA. Without it, with this conflict we might get alot of attention to EII and if it comes out without blowing up the planet we'll most likely have many new members and a great RP. (I mean its just a rough draft, but its a good outline I think and if we can work with it we could really turn this into a shitstorm of a world war, cause lets face it...EII is slowly dieing and although there's alot of fun to show for the time here why not, if it does die, go out with a glorious bang?)

Does this sound good?

Good luck Cot, hope you might return one day. We had some great RP's. See ya bud.

Pissed is good, this is once in a lifetime opportunity man! Plus the way I see it you're about to fight a sizable chunk of TOA forces as well. I don't want to keep any of that land, I just ICly want to kill some Cots.

Although I would like to have St.Petersburg, just the city, being my place of birth and all.

What if there were Inuits fighting the Cots? :-p

If they can sail their canoes that far out, hell they deserve it.

Although I would like to give it to you I don't believe it would be good for the state to surrender such a great trading center (As cotland had made it) to a foreign (As in not border touching) nation. BUT check tg's and we can discuss a few things.

Hehe lots of good ideas about here. Lets just say that a pandemic erupts in Cotland (terrorist attack?), killing off a bunch of people including the Royal family and most of the leadership, and people start taking advantage of the Cottish troubles to get land. Nero, given the peace treaty we'd probably begin demobilizing stuff so that plan is a go, but no nukes please. Also, the military would probably be hit relatively hard by the pandemic. They'd put up a good fight in small units, but given the pandemic, its eradication of the top echelon of leadership and the resulting panic that will create, don't expect any particularly coordinated resistance. When the nation erupts into chaos, which it probably will, the military will cease to exist and whatever troops there are will go back to tend to their homes and try to deal with whatever is to come. I imagine that much of the population that survives will flee to other parts of the world, and a bulk of the Cottish navy and air force would probably flee to Iceland or Ireland, the nearest allied places. So Lay, if you want, you can have my military. As for the rest, well, you guys work it out. Just remember to RP it and RP it well.

I will probably be lurking in the shadows for a few more days, but for all intents and purposes, this is good bye. At least for now. So, well, have a good one Earth II, and I'll catch y'all on the flipside :)

Good stuff Cot. It's a hard choice to make.

It won't be dead unless Mari and I declare it as such. If you or anyone else feels that it is dead then take a walk, leave your land to newbies, and have a good day. If you want to help, go recruit. I've been doing it and we've seen drives of 8 people only to get 0 out of those 8 who stay. It's frustrating and more to me than anyone else so help or be quiet.

Id like to claim Shetland and Faroe Islands, I'll RP in the main thread once things get going.

I like Push or Nero's idea I forget the origin.

Realisticly I think the fall of Cotland would entice a global conflict. With Push and Nero taking some Cottish land TOA would have to get involved. Add some of the new guys into the mix and the newbies who are going to claim Norway and Sweden and such and you have a pretty good powderkeg.

Good job and now for what you were asking for on AIM.

"The Empire of Layarteb shall not sit idly by while the Russian Federation encroaches upon our territories in Iceland and Ireland and thus we will defend these territories as our own against Russian aggression." [you know when things get going]

Agreed.





I have also created an off-site thread for OOC chatter here (http://www.forsakenoutlaw.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=22).

I expected superAIDs or something, oh well.

Super AIDS? No, no. 1918 Spanish Influenza was horrifically deadly but still only 2.5 - 5%. The reason I went with a modern version is because the flu is the best disease to use as a pandemic. It spreads ridiculously easily, changes strains each season, and it can be a perfect in-the-middle tool. You see, if we wanted to end Earth II, we make it Avian Flu Mr. Cripps style otherwise we let it just be a really bad flu that goes away. Can do either...

As note, Pushka's land in India & Yemen is newbie reserved now. as per his request.

I hope I can manage to prove oppressors don't have to be "Mwamwa I'm Eeevil" one-dimensional characters. I only have time for starting a serious RP on weekends, and although I can't promise, perhaps this Saturday something may come from me.

Take a look at the latest TSS it's definitely going to be fun and it's right on your door step.

Hhm, the map is starting to empty out again :(
Gah, it appears that with the TOA weakening rather significantly im not sure I can actually justify near bankrupting myself to maintain a stupidly large navy :|
Time to make like the 90s USN

EDIT: What is the current posistion on all those Baltic Countries (Latvia Lithuania, Estonia and Poland)?

Newbie reserved. I wouldn't call it as TOA weakening as that implies members weakening or leaving the alliance. Members have left E2 and NS all together. More like reduction of the alliance.

Well, in the process of members leaving E2 (thus ICly crumbling to bits) the OA is kinda weakening since it has far less members.

Spiz, did you get my TGs? NS moved servers, some shit might have gotten lost. Let me know if you didn't get em, I'll send them again.

Well, I still want to participate in Earth II, so no seriously killer flu please.

Good part about it is that it's so versatile but I don't have any plans of turning it into apocalypse pandemic.

Tried to make an EII recruitment thread in NSG, it got deleted in about 3 minutes. Which sub-forum should I be making it in?

I think the only place it can go is here in II. I had that one started that I occasionally bump but I'm not 100% sure on that one, maybe gameplay?

Why not!

So Either TOA or Push and friends need to start shit so we can finally get a good old fashioned world war going on.

Erm... First of all, a few questions... In thought that I wish to be a part of this all...

Do I have to join an Earth II region?

And... erm...

My eyes landed on Wrangel Island, in Russia. I'm thinking it's open. Where do I lay a claim to it?

If an "Anarchist" Confederacy shoots immigrants on sight depending on the circumstances, what would the same do to solve a flu Pandemic if it was an Orwellian Police State?

Line up the sick and massacre them so the flu doesn't spread...eh?

Anyway, im beginning my move on Leningrad, right now Push wait until I make my post about Novaya and you can move in to support my naval assault by supporting my air attack and paratroops being dropped in (If you wanna drop some in as well to give me ground support that would work as well). In Leningrad I wont need much help until later on when the dismantled cottish military organizes a resistance and they begin to fight...basically since cotland gave up control of those southern territories I wont RP much resistance there (What occurred in Ivanovo was about the height of resistance there). Since im invading Vologda, Novaya and Leningrad those territories will have a resistance that will cause casualties.

I have something to confess which may be important...

I don't tend to post ORBATS. In fact, I personally dislike posting them.

Not required.

Until a war starts obviously, which may finally be coming... which means I have to hurry up and finish all those designs, a curse on myself for having 28 different destroyer classes (Using Letters is such fun) :D

The Goodbrother isn't an idiot and knows he can't really challenge Layarteb, for now.

So unfortunately, count me out of any potential conflict, unless Gataway suddenly decides to pull weight demanding for their atrocities to end, or something like that.

TSS we can RP the rise of tensions with some sort of minor incidents. I don't mind.

I know you'll probably have something against what I have to say, but any new active RP concept will demand newer designs. I can't reuse Third Spanish States stuff, because although it is not really PMT military-wise(in the sense of being packed with LOLMechas and flying carriers), its designs are not exactly fitting for 2009/2010. Specially when considering jet biofuels, carbon nanotube supercapacitors, primitive AIs and fluidic nozzle TV, and that EII doesn't suffer from peak Oil at the moment.

I'd rather build a basis for Goodrule Spanish Three military forces, although that doesn't mean I won't RP, just that for now I'd rather avoid war RPs for lacking enough background information for them. Although I dislike ORBATS, I actually like to have the whole military background done before a conflict, even if I focus more on characters and on the "experience of war" than on technical aspects.

Awww not even something simple like a minor patrol boat thing or a violation of airspace?

I'm game.

So I guess I am waiting on Nero to attack Novaya Zemlya (which btw, back than it was mine, I used for nuclear testing, just btw.)

Well, that's sad.

Cotland is gone, Hirg is incapacitated (literally), and the last strands of hope in any fun activity is pretty much dim beyond Nerotika going psycho billy and beating the teeth out of Rome for the rest of Western Russia.

So, unless we still chose to stick to old paranoia's and stinginess, I'd like to come back in some way shape or form to help give birth to one last boom boom.

If not, then your loss - I just hope EII see's some kind of resurgence soon.

Ok...your right lay, lol...true, I dont contribute much...but for the past week I was forced to change my focus to www.swiws.net. Swiws is my CSS team/community, we've been working on the site (Its not to fancy yet but we have things on the draft table were workin on).

So this week, since my team entered the Builtonenergy.com CSS placement tournament I had to stop working on my ships to practice on this POS map russka so we dont get womped in the first round on that shit. I cant continue here for another week and when I do turn back to this I'll still have to go back to focusing on my navy. I know its annoying and im more of a pest here then a contribution but...what can I say, sometimes I just cant bring myself to write a good post...I'll respond to your post once I finish laying carpet and getting a new ceiling in my place tonight. But after that post I wont be back for as long as previously states.

Sorry, im not trying to be a pest here...I really would like to get this RP running good but I obligated myself to my team so I have to work on that first. (And I understand your annoyance with me lay...I hope there's no reason to turn me away from EII, dissolution is one thread I intend to finish.)

Heres my factbook, it still needs alittle work, but its good to go somewhat: Democratic Commonwealth of America (http://democraticcommonwealth.webs.com/index.htm)

Also, which thread is the current Super Flu situation in? I have an Idea for an RP to liven things up.

11 it is then. I put up that thread off-site.

I would like to make my claims, and I have a population of 1.671 billion, giving me the maximum claim size of 5,179,976 km^2:
Within 'India'
Gujarat (196,024 km^2), Madhya Pradesh (308,252), Maharashtra (307,690), Karnataka (191,791), Kerala (38,863), Lawkshadweep (32), Daman and Diu (112)
Within 'Yemen'
Ta'izz (10,010), Lahij (12,650), Abyan (16,450), and Shabwah (39,000)
Total: 1,120,874 km^2

These are all unclaimed, right? Because they all are according to the maps. But now the list says it to not be so, see below.

Your information is heavier on the history of Earth 2 than it is when it comes to what earth 2 actually is. So, to get this all straight, in this I would not be playing a real life nation consisting of these borders, just a 'NS nation' with these borders within Earth 2? Is there any limit of deviation from RL here, just a technology level limit?

Because I was thinking along the lines of this being a 'NS nation', and am sorting out my plans according to that, but if it is not so now is the time to change things around.


Edit: Oop, all of Yemen is claimed it seems, never mind about all those claims, and there seems to be some overlapping of the territories without saying (part) on the claims list. Like how Al Hudaydah, Al Mahwit, 'Amran, Dhamar, Hajjah, Ma'rib, Sa'dah, and Sanaá seem to both be claimed by United Federation of Eurasia and the Roman Empire. Is that a mess up?

Yep, I can now post again.

*Either these are claims to the Cotland's Realm (Jan Mayen, Murmansk Oblast, Norway, Svalbard), or lands that I claim that are being used (or I see that will be used) in the running pandemic RP (Denmark, Sweden, Finland). If you guys permit, I'll have the latter (Denmark, Finland, Sweden) be an integral part of my country so I'll just be RPing to claim the former (Jan Mayen, Murmansk Oblast, Norway, Svalbard).

I looked into the Yemen thing and you were correct there was a mistake on the claims list. The maps were accurate so I fixed the entry for Rome, who does not own any of Yemen. Here are the open Yemeni territories:

Yemen (Abyan)
Yemen (Ad Dali')
Yemen ('Adan)
Yemen (Al Bayda')
Yemen (Ibb)
Yemen (Lahij)
Yemen (Shabwah)
Yemen (Ta'izz)


Now other than this, your claim seems fine except that I don't have Daman and Diu for India actually listed. Is it part of a larger state? Wiki wasn't very helpful in explaining that part out for me. I would ask that you please do an introductory RP for these claims.

While you are within your limits of claim that is a lot of land for a single, entry-level claim. I'd ask that you please take one of the three and RP them and should you become active by all means, the rest are within grasp. I say this out of experience in having to remove and redo claims such as yours many times over simply because someone claimed and lost interest.

Now other than this, your claim seems fine except that I don't have Daman and Diu for India actually listed. Is it part of a larger state? Wiki wasn't very helpful in explaining that part out for me. I would ask that you please do an introductory RP for these claims.

So the entire Yemeni claim is fine? Awesome, Daman and Diu are the two islands marked as 'D' on the map. Ultimately they are very small detail, but a detail nonetheless. And alright, where shall I make a introductory post? I was right under the 'NS nation assumption', right? If so my nation will not be 'Ulanpataar', I will have to be juggling two entities, but Ulanpataar is kind of stagnating...

http://www.statoids.com/uin.html
Where I gathered all my info on the size of the state, it is a nice website.

What of the status of Dadra and Nagar Haveli, do I have to separately claim them?

Just see the Earth II Land & Status Spreadsheet (http://www.theforsakenoutlaw.com/Nation-States/Earth%20II/Spreadsheet/EarthII_General_Sheet.htm) to get the information.

If you want yes you can add India (Dadra and Nagar Haveli) and India (Daman and Diu) to your claim. The post just has to be here on II according to the info in the first post and I'm not sure where you found that link, the one in the first post works.

I put up a summary (http://www.forsakenoutlaw.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=22) of the Treblinka Affair off-site if anyone wants to read it and if anyone wants to use it for a potential story line.

Guys, I have to make this my final ever EII post. I know I've been less than reliable in the past on the RP front, and to be honest it's not going to change.

I haven't slept properly for the last week, and I have way too many things on my mind atm to even think of doing anything on here. My personal life isn't exactly going great either, and I just don't think I'll ever be able to do anything on here again. I've been pondering this for a while, but I just can't sit back any longer.

My lands are up for free grab, do whatever you want with them.

Bah I was hoping you had recanted on that post off-site but I guess not. It's alright Mari, you know you were a staple point for E2 and I really appreciated all of the help you gave so feel free to come back whenever (like right now). :) I think because of the importance of them I may put them into newbie reserved. They might be a nice attracting point for newer membership.

If so ill take Japan, if not I think I still will take Japan :p and maybe Amapa and para, bwhaha, idk, just let me know please, this way I can start the thread, and sure Ulanpataar, we can think of a way to fit you into the rp, special if it is in Japan, this way it makes more sense.

I still have to fully decide 100% what I am going to do with Mari's land but as far as the Brazilian land goes, perhaps Saint Bryce didn't full read what I had written to him. We'll see what he says when he posts next. For now the matter will remain open.

I'm still here, just caught in a mountain of schoolwork.

Hmm, the USAF lost a F-22A today. Thats a good bit of tax money down the drink.

School and girls. An awful combination.

Hmm, the USAF lost a F-22A today. Thats a good bit of tax money down the drink.

Well at least the pilot ejected safely, that's the biggest plus. Planes may be expensive but human life is irreplaceable. Consequently, training accidents will probably be the F-22s greatest foe and biggest (probably only) killer. Wait I just thought of this. (Obv. this is an edit). Maybe it was Canadian Geese again? Operation Canuckistani Freedom time! Rome, we're coming for you!

Oh yeah and before I forget (because this is major). In light of the resignation of Marimaia, an unfortunate condition but I'll keep pestering him to come back, at least as a player (because I'm that kind of jerk) I have decided to seek out a new co-moderator. The list was very short and I asked Brink to fill the role and he has graciously accepted. Please give him the same respect you showed Mari, he's done a lot for E2 over the years and I have to say that his contributions have made us a better place.

Yes it would.

Hey Lay, are there any organized terrorist groups in Brazil that are hostile to you?

Well in the Amazonian Control Territory there is a revolutionary group unnamed thus far that goes through stages. They rise up, I stomp, they decline, rise up, etc. At this point most of the "elders" of the group have been killed or captured and very few remain leaving a very hostile, very angry youth...

Well I won't be updating this weekend I don't think as I'm about a hair's length away from acquiring a newer automobile, a fast automobile with 205hp/200 lb. of torque, a super charger, and a manual 5-spd. Can you guess what it is?

Alrighty, it looks like there is allot of Interest in this RP, I will post a topic in the Off-site forums for planning. I will have a basic plot line there as well.

Sounds good.

It pains me to inform you, but I have been considering resigning from EII. Due to inactivity and a general lack of time on my part. Well, I've had fun. Goodbye.

Thread is up in the offsite forums.

That's cool dude. I've rocked some cool shit here and seen a girl literally defy gravity on a stripper pole so hoorah!

Sorry for my lack of posts, writer's block and college shitload didn't help.

Also, Layarteb, as you may have noticed, my style is of war RP not as technical as yours, and I'm not a fan of the We Have Reserves (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WeHaveReserves) method of overcoming defenses, for IMO , it works better as a script for a generic war movie than for a RP.

I don't tend to explicit how many missiles each ship or fighter carries, although I consider it when deciding how to proceed in a war RP. In my opinion they are like the damage variables in a traditional pen and paper RPG or in computer RPGs: There is nothing as immersion breaking as seeing a large number over the head of a 3d character with the letters "HP" next to the number. The characters will probably be too busy with other far more important worries to keep count of the exact number of missiles each class of hostile vessel has anyway.

Finally, I hope that the mention of nuclear submarines is just for explanation... Mutually assured destruction and world going into nuclear annihilation isn't an interesting premise to RP, at least for now.

*Edit: Also, I made a pic (http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/9131/tiburonssk2.png) for that submarine

Well I've returned from Virginia so I should be updating/responding/whatevering tomorrow.

Hope I didn't get too far in rolling dices of probability to give in that the Submarine had a chance of surviving the pressure at 1,500 meters. I admit sometimes I give a bit of leeway regarding technicalities in favor of plot development.

Well depending on the design of the submarine if it is like the Soviet Mike class it could get there. The K-278 had a crush depth of 1,500 meters although it's normal operating depth was between 1,000 and 1,250 meters. Like the Alfa class it used a titanium hull.

Why are you using my dramatic submarine movie tropes for tactical advantage? D:<

It actually is covered with sound ablative materials(anechoic chambers to be more specific), but as far as I know, there is not much to do for a submarine which descended below the "hull crush depth" of its stated specifications (not decided yet, and it was never truly tested anyway, because of totalitarian red tape) regarding avoiding to make noise while its hull suffers the risk of being crushed, and that is why it made some noise while going too much down, and the fact that there are acoustic sensors to give awaraness of outside sounds to those among the crew who need it*

I already knew it was not the cleverest tactic... but they are screwed anyway, because even if they succeed they are already dead... or will be once *SPOILER*

*It is simpler and more effective to place redundant speakers around the sub rather than far more fragile headphones for those who would need listening to it, and besides there is no drama if other crewmembers can't hear it.

Hi, sorry if I seem so hopelessly confused, but I seemed to be RPing the wrong nations :eek:. I only understood it just now *blabbers about Bryce's poor English skills and reading comprehension*.

I had actually been RPing as central Europe (Austria, Switzerland, Estonia, Poland, Romania, etc.) as my main nation, and my Scandinavian claims are just attempts to expand during the epidemic (I know that's not how it sounded like when I replied, I should have clarified it further... and yes, RPing them unauthorized, sorry... :(). I will post the separate RP for the creation of Austroslavia (the central European nation) soon, if you approve, but can it be set in, let's say, the 1950's? I know it's confusing, RPing the establishment and the expansion of the nation at the same time... :$

Thanks for the stats but I'm not sure what you mean. You are RPing for the Scandavian land...

And now Firefox crashes everytime I try to naviagte to II. No clue why I sent an error report but idk if it will get fixed. Im gonan work on my intro past again. Since what i was working on got lost when my other comp crashed.

I write all my posts in Textpad before I post into Jolt. It's a throwback to the Jolt Forum days but it's effective.

Ah that. I was RPing for Scandinavia as an expansion of Austroslavia; the RP for the establishment of Austroslavia isn't up yet. I assumed that Central Europe was mine, sorry :$ So my real initial claim is central Europe (Estonia to Albania), and the expansion claims is Scandinavia. Sorry for the confusion....

Except (see below)

While you are within your limits of claim that is a lot of land for a single, entry-level claim. I'd ask that you please take one of the three and RP them and should you become active by all means, the rest are within grasp. I say this out of experience in having to remove and redo claims such as yours many times over simply because someone claimed and lost interest.

Except (see below)
I understand it fully just now, yes, belatedly, after a looooooong time. :$ I know it's quite a job to redo the claims list again, can I ask that my initial claims be changed to central Europe? I've made much of my factbook and nation info spreadsheet and based the RP posts on assumption that I had central Europe.... thanks.

Okay glad to see you getting back to us. So now my big question, timeline wise, is in comparison to Rhodesia's war in Australia, when does this particular action happen? At the same time?

Attention Layarteb, there's stuff addressed to you in the new thread. Concerning Hawaii.

I'll need to read up on what Rhodesian States is doing. Is he just fighting a D12-type action or another player?

Brand new claim.

I think they'll run simultaneously then.

A lot of places Kreynoria ruled would only have a Kreynorian minority at this point, and mainland Australia would be one of them, since I never had it for very long.

Replied for you and I want to toss away the Solomon Islands too (with the exception of Guadalcanal).

I'll be very happy to take them off your hands. Also, anyone else willing to trade land in the Pacific, I'm looking to expand.

Okay we'll discuss them in the thread. After we finish up with Hawaii, mention them.

Newbie claim buddy, Im fighting a war of annexation with the Northern territories, Your declaration of independence coincides nicely :)

I have a question. Realistically speaking, as in Modern Tech, what types of drugs could a government force people to use as a way to partially suppress their emotions and thus, in an indirect manner, their capabilities and will to question the Establishment?

Yes, that is exactly what I'm trying to build here: a Modern Tech Dystopia which combines elements from both 1984 and Brave New World. There has been a long time since one of these actually existed in active RPs, and it was not conceptualized as a MT one, but as a body horror centric PMT Dystopia with cyberpunk elements, ruled by a monopolistic Megacorp. I suppose you may know which NS(currently inactive as far as I know) I'm referring to.

Anyway, lets say that the controls over the consumption of such cocktail of emotion-suppressant drugs, provided such isn't an idea completely nonsensical for a MT dystopia, are much more lax inside submarines.

*Edit: Also, the Goodbrother claims his government is an "intermediary state" to an Utopian society, just like Stalin.

Layarteb, from my research detecting nuclear or electric submarines isn't quite as impossible as you're making it. Certainly it is very difficult, but this article from the ACIG website makes it clear that its possible to detect these types of submarines (not get anything precise, but know they're somewhere there) at fairly long ranges. The accidental collisions you've mentioned between nuclear submarines probably had something to do with oceanic effects (such as thermal layers) interfering with their sonar.

Also, Tom Clancy's books seem to agree (I've read Red Storm Rising and SSN).

http://www.acig.org/artman/publish/article_491.shtml

Everything you need to know about Tom Clancy is here:

http://z4.invisionfree.com/NSDraftroom/index.php?showtopic=4495

Besides, fiction authors tend to overstretch things anyway, and trying to push on a minimum probability chance method of detecting x as successful, that will make roleplay y less interesting but benefit NS z isn't a staple of quality RPing, even if it is feasible. It is like claiming character w rolled 6 in a dice fifty consecutive times.

I know I tried to join once before and then went inactive, but I had no idea what was going on in Australia at the time and I have much more freetime now than I did then. I would like to claim Switzerland, Austria, and Slovenia. If you don't want me to claim that much and want me to only claim 2 of those 3, than you can cut off Slovenia.

The thing I'm trying to say here is that it's not just a remote freak chance that it will be detected. It's more like those collisions were freak accidents. Sonar's ability to detect is extremely variable because so many factors influence it, and a submarine cannot be completely silent unless it is also completely immobile.

Also, that book does sound like a piece of shit to me. I hated SSN (a book where a single American nuclear sub basically singlehandedly defeats the Chinese navy encounter by encounter). But Clancy did serve on submarines and does actually know a lot of stuff on them.

And besides that, the website link was what I wanted the focus on. Not Tom Clancy.

Tom Clancy's books are great fictional works and he never served in the United States Military and thus never served on a submarine. He may know a good amount of detail about them but he is not some sort of expert. Submarine detection is contingent on many factors. A submarine traveling at its tactical silent speed above the thermal layer can be detected but not at long range and not necessarily easy. Submarines are very quiet things out there and modern day nuclear powered (Virginia) or DE (U-212) submarines can be unbelievably quiet. If they are below the thermal layer, chances of detecting them are even slimmer. Now a nuclear submarine still has machinery and reactor plant noise and older Soviet ones were detectable through this noise whilst newer vessels such as the Akula II and Virginia are virtually impossible to detect this way thanks to liberal usage of anechoic tiling. Diesel-electric submarines, on diesel power are the loudest things in the water but on electric, the quietest things in the water. At tactically silent speeds and properly lubricated machinery, which isn't something a submarine captain is going to allow go free, with anechoic tiling, you might be able to detect it with an active ping but through passive means, best of luck, especially if it's below the thermal layer.
