Good, I was about to do this myself. Thanks.

Should I post links to my old annexation RP's (the ones where I took over Western Canada, Latin America, Cuba, and Greenland?)

Or just pick off where we left off at Zifos, namely the Fod-Sharina-Julioppines War and Vineyard's attempt at annexing Italy?

Pick up where you left off on Zifos - see above for the new link to my civil war for example.

The first matter of business is VI:

Invite her back?
Damn. Its been a while. A real long while since we have posted here. Hopefully, it will attract 'recruits' to Earth V.

Anyhow, I have mixed feelings about VI. I absolutely despise her and her RPing. And yet, we do need more players. Soooooo.... Erm..... Habalabula. Yes, Habalabula. I can't say much more about my indecision.

Err.. yeah whatever Vinny.
Why dont you two just apologise.

I vote against inviting VI back, we can find other people to play. We just need to get the name of Earth V around, and we'll ve more lifeblood.

Pick up where you left off on Zifos - see above for the new link to my civil war for example.

Thats my question, because I have finished my annexation RP's more than a month ago, while your civil war and the Fod war thing are ONGOING RP's.

Just my opinion, but yes to your question since I assume you're asking about RP's that involve, for instance, the invention of a new weapon or the purchase of something, etc.

Julliopines - Vineyard wants to attack you, he has a right to know where your capital is.

We have a problem.

Vineyard and Mauiwowee were the only ones who posted in Zifos since last weekend, which is 4 - 5 days with just 1 - 2 posts in Zifos.

Now, I haven't seen much action here for Earth V back at NS either. Maybe I missed a new Earth V thread because in NS, threads get off the 1st page within 10 minutes at peak hours, and 30 minutes on off-peak hours.

We must inject the corpse of Earth V with a huge dose of adrenaline combined with massive electro-shock therapy.

Hey everybody I'm baaaack. So, did I miss anything important?

Yes, I am aware of that. However, we need more than that to make Earth V as active as it once was before the whole moving to Zifos thing. We need to more actively RP and post Earth V stuff, and do it more aggressively.

"Aggressive Advertising" is what I'd call it. :)

However, before this is to occur, we *MUST* resolve who's staying with Earth V and who's quitting. We *MUST* know whether people like Virgin Incursion, Fodmodmadtol, etc. will rejoin, quit, or whatever.

Then we'll have an idea who's active and inactive, so we can adjust RP's and land claims accordingly so that there won't be any faux-pas.

Nooo, please fod! Don't quit! Ill do anything! Kinda! Please don't go!

I agree with sharina. We must inject life into Earth V. I am afraid the move back might have killed it instead of building it.

Anyhow, to make this thread more "Happening" i suggest we move ALL EARTH V RP's Back to THIS thread We moved to Zifos due to an orginizational issue, but these seperate threads are negating the limited orginization of this thread. All RP's should be brought back here.

I agree with sharina. We must inject life into Earth V. I am afraid the move back might have killed it instead of building it.

I honestly believe we should have NEVER gone over to Zifos.com in the first place. If we had never made the move in the first place, Earth V might very well remain as active as Earth II. Earth II has been going strong, mainly because it stayed at NS, not jump to some forum nobody knows about and where people have difficulty registering on.

ooc: And here is the electrical pulse that will revive it!

IC: Croatian troops had smashed through Italy, and it was now fully occupied. Lord Vineyard II had seized Napeloen's former home Palazzina dei Mulini on the Island of Elba and moved the measume that used to occupy it to Napoleans other former residence on the island. He stood on the walls, peering west with his aids standing behind him, hands clapsed in front of them.

Lord Vineyard II turned around to face his men, and his bodyguards who were assembled in the courtyard.

"Contact the UFSR. Send Primere Deft The EATO constitution. Order the troops through out the Empire to shoot and kill all Political Officers and other agents of Russia. Let us be free being Sub-Servents of Russia!"

Lord Vineyard II scanned the city.
"And one last thing. Lock down the Island and this complex. This is where we will command the war from."

Lord Vineyard II formally declares war opon the UFSR and its subjects. The Empire of Croatia is no longer a Subject of the corrupt and evil dictatorship called the UFSR. We invite other nations to join the Vineyardian banner and coat of arms in the fight against the UFSR opressors.

Just let us know when we can know about this so I can react.

We need a new maps thread since we lost Koppars and Fod and moved back to NS. I can't do it all though and I wouldn't expect anyone else to either. So, I'm asking for Volunteers to serve as map makers. Post here or TG me with what you'll do and we'll work out the details. I'd like a map update at least once per week, though bi-weekly would be ok if need be. Here are the maps we need and who is doing them:

North & Central America: Mauiwowee
Oceania: Mauiwowee
South America:
Europe (& Russia?):
Asia (& Russia?):
Middle East:
Carribean:
Africa:

Here is the link to the new maps thread: MAPS (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=414473)

I still have my South America map stashed somewhere. All I have to do is "paint-fill" some territories white, namely Fod, Jonothana, Dallavbill, Merthenia, and Kopparbergs holdings.

I also have the Caribbean Map as well from my old map-making thread. A few "Paint-fill" jobs and it should be as good as new. I also have Antarctica map, as well.

I don't have Europe, Asia, or Africa maps though. I'll have these maps up by tomorrow if I can scrounge them up in the meanwhile.

Just let us know when we can know about this so I can react.

Warta Endor views this surprising move with interest. We will treat the new alliance in a friendly manner.

Warta Endor is very interested in joining the EATO. We will break up from the FOAM alliance in a not so very far future. If you need any help in the war against the remaining USFR, contact us.

Lord Vineyard II Stared at the maps. Elba was now practically immune to an air strike. Italy had become a AA 'wall'. If enemy flyers decided to go North of Italy, they would be violating TGSR and Wirrawaian airspace. A dangerous move. But if they turned south... that was another story. They could pass over the meek country of Malta at will. Malta HAD to be taken.
Lord Vineyard II picked up the blue phone.

"Get me the Admiral."
"Yes sir."
----Pause----
"'Ello?"
Yes. I need you and the marines to seize malta. 1,000 x-plane fighters will be garrisoned there once its captured. Speed is of the essence admiral.
"Aye! 'Ill be on it right 'er way!"



-Resopnce to the Warta Endorian telegram-
EATO will probably need a strike on Russia to make this 'Rebellion' successful. It would be a great help if a diversionary strike there was made. This will draw away precious tenebri troops away from the European front.
-Thanks,
Lord Vineyard II

Strike mongolia and capture it now and we will give you oil benifits and an immunity to future oil embargos.

Lao:"We had areply from Vineyard..."
Admiral Cranach:"What did he say?"
Lao:"EATO will probably drive into Russia and would appreciate if a diversionary strike would be made."
Admiral:"Another Sachalin plan then?"
General Hiddinski:"I was thinking about the same thing. We should invade South Eastern Russia, probably Kamtjatska as well."
Lao:"Yes, I already thought that that would be your reaction. The 6th to 10th Marine Divisions will form Ambiphious Group one an will invade Sachalin and the Kurills. The First Corps of the Fourth Army will invade Kamtjatska, the Second of the First Army will invade mainland Russia. The invasion will be supported by the 7th fleet and long range bombers from our Mariana's base. The bomber fleet there will be reinforced. Special Forces will infiltrate Sachalin, Kamtjatska and SE Russia within two days, and they'll keep the green bastards busy at the moment of invasion."
Hidinski:"What about East Timor? That's TG6R and thus USFR..."
Lao:"Second Army will swamp them. No worries. We will first start an intense artillery and aerial bombardment, as ussual. I'll TG Vineyard for further plans etc."
Hidinski:"Yes sir..."

Message to EATO

We have made plans to attack SE Russia with a small number of forces. SF will infiltrate in two/three days while the main invasion will comence in two/three weeks. Aerial bombardmets will start ASAP. We will also attack TG6R's East Timor within three days. If you have any improvements on our plans or other things, contact us.

EDIT:

The Wirrawayan Asian command sprung from its long dormancy and quickly began massing troops along the Russian border. The reason has been given as of yet.

TGSR left the UFSR years ago. Please do not invade him.


-Parade in Zagreb-
A large column of troops paraded in Dress Uniform through the streets of zagreb, marching down the stone paved roads. Croatian flags were everywhere, flapping in the breeze, almoast dancing to the thundering beat of the Drums. Crowds lined the streets, cheering themselves horse. The occasional plane would streak overhead in a sort of arrow formation. ZMG tanks spanning across the entire road crawled after the troops with their gunners standing alert. Troop carriers and their crews folowed shortly after. Mobile Missle launchers were also present. Here are some images from the parade.

Top-Secret Sharina Military Report 12-04-24-2011, Alpha Clearance:

Troop movements and deployment operations are meeting considerable success along the Massachusetts - New York and Connecticut - New York borders in New England. The collapse of Corporate Fodmodmadtol government has millions of citizens suffering in New York. Military aid is expected to take place within several days, in hopes of introducing the New York people to security and safety within the Sharina Technocracy.

The induction of New York into the Sharina Technocracy will enable Sharina to run land transportation much easier from Sharina's Manitoba Province towards Sharina New England, ending full reliance on naval supply lines. A massive railroad project is being planned, to link the city of Buffalo to Sharina's Manitoba border via an secret underground tunnel one to two miles under Celackian territory. If the Celack government collapses, then Sharina shall make efforts to take Ontario province to run above-ground railroad networks to connect New England to Sharina's industralized West Coast.

Similiar steps regarding troop and military deployment and build-ups are being taken along the Ecaudor - Columbia border. Tactical reports indicate that a possible take-over of Columbia, Panama, and Costa Rica will ensure a continuous territory, further enhancing security along the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean. Ecaudor will no longer be isolated from mainland Sharina.

President Mina Veristek has indicated that there are no current plans in expansion, other than the possible take-over of New York, New Jersey, Columbia, Panama, and Costa Rica. This may change in the future, pending international status, and whether more nations collapse into anarchy.

Julioppines is welcome to take the remainder of New England, and Mauiwowee is welcome to Venzeula and the other South American provinces. Norleans is welcome to take Virginia and Kentucky, and possibly Ohio. Philaphedia, Maryland, Delaware, and West Virginia are yet undecided, whether Sharina desires annexation of these provinces or leave these provinces alone.

If Fod really quit, then this will take place. If Fod returns, then this RP will have never taken place.

OOC:

What the heck is going on?

The last post I saw Vineyard attacked an outpost on the Croatian border, and sent agents to Rome, which I rescued two of them. Now he suddenly occupies ALL of Italy without any comments? This post comes before Vineyard's comment because it was our plan in the first place:

The 30,000 soldiers on the transports in the Mediterrean embarked on landing craft, protected by the main task force being sent to Sardinia.

The other 90,000 embarked on landing crafts headed to land on the shores on southern Sardinina.

The escort force of 60 Arleigh Burke DDGs, 30 Seawolf Submariness, and 3 Guillen Class Battleships split into a group of 10 Seawolf Submarines and one Guillen Class Battleship to launch strikes on Naples in preparation for the landing, the others were to bombard Sardinia's defenses.

Soon, cruise missiles were streaking towards Naples and Sardinia, attacking the defences with pinpoint accuracy. The shores were being bombared by the heave battleships.

http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/burke/images/burke8.jpg

As the landing crafts apporached the shores, the fireing slowly quieted. Reaching the beaches, the soldiers stormed ahead, and quickly overcame the small Italian guarison. The soldiers on the Naples captured the city, and the soldiers on Sardinia advanced to the northern tip of Sardinia.

When Vineyard forces arrived, all the forces would occupy southern Sardinia.

ooc. TG6R is USFR isn't it?

Nein! We left five months ago!

::: Norleans News Network :::

Norleans announced today that it has signed a treaty with Scotland whereby Scotland became a state of Norleans under the leadership of Scotland's new Governor, Ian Wallace - a direct descendant of Sir William Wallace. $50 Billion in economic aid has been sent to Scotland and arrangements to begin construction of underwater oil cities in the North Sea are being fleshed out with NOOGEES and SOP, with actual construction on the first one scheduled to begin in the next 3-6 months.

Norleans has also announced a naval blockade of Great Britain and offered a non-agression pact to Ireland. It would seem Norleans is planning major invasion of Britain. However, the Roman Republic is expected to put up some resistance to such a move. More news will be made available as soon as we have it.

OOC: Sharina,

Luft Industries wants to do the airport deal. We need to get our alliance stronger; we really haven't done anything togething in months.

OOC: This is an informational post. IC'ly we would not declare the existence or specs. on the new XM-30 rifle - though war reports of the "killer" rifles being used by Mauiwowee would occur and eventually, one would be captured and analyzed - The big deal is the thermobaric grenade and not the rifle itself anyway. Just give it a reasonable amount of time before you RP an understanding of everything. I may eventually sell these, but for now, they are not available to anyone but my military.

The new XM-30 with it's thermobaric grenades and launcher step up the destructive capabilities of Mauiwowee's military significantly. A picture of the weapon is shown below with specs. on the weapon and the thermobaric grenades. One million of these weapons have been produced and deployed and another 2 million are on order from our contractor/supplier, W.M.D., Inc. In future deployments of the military, it is anticipated the XM-30 will serve side-by-side with the CAR-22's currently in use.

Luft Industries wants to do the airport deal. We need to get our alliance stronger; we really haven't done anything togething in months.

Just post what stuff you would like to be discussed in the deal, and we can start RP'ing a conference to discuss the deal.

I completely forgot what we were going to work out for the deal, after all, it has been months.

I'm Back

Welcome back.

BTW, Vineyard has declared war on the UFSR, so it should be interesting. Fod also quit Earth V.

Dear sirs:

Your acceptance of our terms is noted. Construction of your private terminals will begin immediately and they should all be complete within a year. As a "bonus" we will provide terminals on the same condition in Glascow and Edinburgh, Scotland.

Sincerely,
Angelinia Henderson - Director of Commerce
Norleans

OOC: You might want to check out her name in the Zifos threads about the "families." Angelinia is a "Henderson" family member. Our word is our bond, but don't forget you who you've made a deal with.

Comminque to TGSR:

Your request to open airline terminals and business in the Sharina Technocracy is being discussed by Sharina's Hall of Logic. However, the outlook appears very good, meaning that there's a high chance of your request being approved.

However, we have a problem. Our civilian aircraft sector is extremely under-developed. As it stands, only capital cities and one or two major cities of each province has a civilian airport, seeing that 95% of Sharina's mass transportation is by railroad. 4% is done by buses and large non-railroad vehicles. The last 1% is by aircraft, mainly used by the wealthy.

As it stands, only seven cities out of your list of desired cities has civilian airports. Accomdations will be made promptly to start recieving your aircraft and air-business at airports in these seven cities. I will override the Hall of Logic if necessary for this.

California = San Franscico, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Santa Barbara.
Mexico = Cancun, Mexico City, and Veracruz.

If you are willing to aid Sharina in constructing and developing its civilian aircraft sector, then I shall personally make sure that you shall have terminals in every airport that you help construct in Sharina.

The reason why Sharina hasn't developed its civilian aircraft is because its railroad network is the best in the world. Sharina has built over 10 million miles of railroad tracks, and employs advanced railroad trains. Sharina has trains capable of traveling slightly above 680 kilometers per hour, or roughly 400 miles per hour. This provides railroads with the necessary competition to provide similiar or better transportation service than airlines.

If we construct a civilian air sector, it would be used primarily to connect to other international airports, such as in Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa.

Please inform us of your intentions and proposals.

Live well and prosper,
~President Mina Veristek

Dear Mina,

The sudden "implosion" of the government of Fodmodmadtol has opened up quite a bit of territory in North America - territory which we fear may fall into the wrong hands if we do not act quickly. You and Julliopines are posed to seize control of the North Eastern area in a rapid fashion and I suggest that such action be undertaken. We are prepared to move into Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia and the remaining 1/2 of Michigan not already under our control. We'd like to co-ordinate our efforts in this regard with you to make sure that we do not "step on your toes" so to speak and that we secure, fully, the North American borders in a rapid fashion.

Encrypted tranmission protocol 27-98TD-94X7-B82-AJ

Greetings, friend Duke Huey.

I appreciate your prompt communication regarding this issue. It speaks to me volumes about our friendship and solidarity.

I have been planning the annexation of New York and New Jersey so that my people may begin constructing the initial "stage" of an overland route to connect Manitoba to New England, ending Sharina New England's dependence on naval assets.

I have also been considering annexation of Pennslyvania, Delaware, Maryland, and West Virginia. However, as you have stated that you desire West Virginia, I shall cede that province to you. I believe that you shall put West Virginia to good use, as Norleans deserves more land and resources.

I am not sure about Julioppines, though. I have made it clear to the people of Julioppines that they are welcome to Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. However, my intelligence services and satellite network has not detected any Julioppinean movement towards these three provinces. He may not be interested in them. If he does not make any movement or attempt to bring these provinces under his banner by the time Sharina forces secure my primary goals of New York and New Jersey, then Sharina will attempt to enter Vermont and New Hampshire, leaving Maine for last.

I also would like to state that Sharina desires to expand northwards from Ecaudor, to annex Columbia, Panama, and Costa Rica, for the same reason for gaining New York and New Jersey. Sharina needs an overland route between Mexico and Ecaudor. Once Sharina brings the three provinces lying between Ecaudor and mainland Latin America, Sharina will be able to vastly boost the economy of South America by hauling millions of tons worth of goods and material into South America from North America via railroad.

South America will finally have easy, unrestricted access to the resources and industries of North America, without risk of pirates or foreign nations blockading sea shipping.

Sharina does not have any current plans in expanding further than that, however, that could change depending on two factors. First, if the Celackian government falls, then Sharina would need Ontario to complete the overland route. Second, if the UFSR or non-friendly nations make movements towards annexation of Venezeula, Gambia, Suriname, etc. then Sharina will step in.

I look forward to the day we two usher North America into a golden age. We are the true rulers of North America, for we are wise and fortunate to aggressively unify the continent.

Live well and prosper,
~President Mina Veristek

300,000 troops, the Proud Army of Hrvatska America, had stood at the ready to attack Julipinos. Then utter chaos broke loose. The Terran gov't of Fod collapsed, leaving a 'Vacume' of land open for the taking. Great American cities were infested with anarchists, practically craving the near-by army of Vineyard to dicipline them. The army, already in New York, captured the nearest city of Schenectady. Finding that to be extreemly boring and run down, they quickly were eager to leave. Albany was swiftly being conquered and Buffalo was under attack. The army split in 2 to cover more ground quicker, but large enough to ensure victory in some form. The armies traveled under disguise, using civilian cars that they 'took possesion of'. Northern New York had surrendered already, seeing the 3 of the 4 great cities fall.

-Special Tripple doubble quadruplely bigly hugely coded orders to the Imperial guard of the army-
Once Boston is captured, rope it off and burn it to the ground after taking all the books and other items and goods out of the city, save clothes. Leave no one alive.

ooc: (kinda like a story of recent events.) Oh, and i hate boston. No, I am not a Yankees fan, but a victim of Boston 'Hospitality'.

ooc: (kinda like a story of recent events.) Oh, and i hate boston. No, I am not a Yankees fan, but a victim of Boston 'Hospitality'.

OOC:

A couple of things.

I own Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. I am also a Boston native in RL. :p

I also have 2 million troops in New England, as they were fortifying New England aganist a possible Fod invasion, as well as from my initial invasion of New England from last Jan. or so. I have stated my military break-down back at Zifos as per Maui's new rule. However, my defense budget has increased significantly since that time, so this new list will reflect the update.

Sharina Troop Breakdown:

Alaska Task Force: 2 million troops.
Based in: Alaska, Yukon, and North British Columbia

West Coast Task Force: 1.5 million troops.
Based in: South British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, and Nevada.

Central Sharina Task Force: 1.5 million troops.
Based in: Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and North Dakota.

Latin America Task Force:* 2 million troops.
Based in: Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaruga.

Canada Task Force: 1.5 million troops.
Based in: Alberta, Sasketchwan, Northwestern Territory (Northwesteria), Nunavut, and Manitoba.

New England Task Force:* 2 million troops.
Based in: Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.

South America Task Force:* 2 million troops.
Based in: Ecaudor.

Caribbean Task Force: 1 million troops.
Based in: Cuba, Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Jamaica, and Turks & Caicos Islands.

Greenland Task Force: 200,000 troops.
Based in: Greenland.

Antarctica Task Force: 100,000 troops.
Based in: Antarctica.

Total: 13.8 million troops.

My 9.2 trillion defense budget times 1.5 million soldiers per $1 trillion, per Maui's military rule... 9.2 x 1.5 = 13.8.

* = These high numbers are the result of the troop build-up and movements in preparation for the next round of Sharina expansion, and fortification of New England.

So as you can see, you'll have to deal with my military buildup in New England, as well as possible reinforcements from Canada, Greenland, or from Julioppines and/or Norleans.

Put simply, be my guest and try to fend off my assault on New York, much less try to take Boston, the center of my New England province. :p

A middle aged man paced back and forth in front of a large televised map of New England, with three states colored in light green, with symbols fluctating throughout the map. Several large dark purple splotches materialized into the far western edges of the green colored states, along with golden lines travelling back eastwards towards the ocean and three major cities of Boston, Providence, and Fall River.

A ringing sound is heard, and the middle aged man took controlled strides towards his wooden desk, cluttered with various paperwork, a flatscreen display, and a desktop computer. The man deftly took the phone out of the reciever, and quickly held it up to his ear.

"Xavier Veristek calling Major General Tresniel Pra'vac."

Pra'vac nodded absentmindedly before responding quickly.

"Confirmed. It is he."

The other voice began speaking in a firm tone, signifying a position of leadership and power.

"Operation Colonial is confirmed. Live well."

The line hung up, and Pra'vac nodded once again to himself.

It is time. The Marxist Corporation of Fodmodmadtol has fallen, and it is now Sharina's duty to pick up the pieces.

Pra'vac punched several new number combinations into his telephone reciever, opening an line of communication towards SharTac New England HeadQuarters. A small feminine voice spoke from the other end, countless kilometers away.

"SharTac NEHQ here."

Pra'vac spoke two words before hanging up, so to avoid foreign hackers or eavesdroppers tracing his signal.

"Colonial positive."

Pra'vac slowly walked behind his desk, his mind full of thoughts and plans for the upcoming battle for the Eastern Seaboard. He sat back in his chair, and busied himself with paperwork to pass the time. Several hours later, the televised map emitted a long beep, as the map transformed into a new version of itself.

The dark purple splotches began splitting into multiple smaller splotches, as they crossed the border between New York - Massachusetts, and New York - Connecticut. The splotches took onto meaningful shapes as the map zoomed into the general vicnity of the two state borders. Isometric renditions of armored vehicles, armor-clad infantrymen, supply trucks, and aircraft made their presence known. Large elongated shapes formed up in the blue seas outside of Connecticut and New York, and took on the identity of naval warships of varying classes, ranging from destroyers to large aircraft carriers.

Large red circles erupted onto the map screen, encircling the cities of New York City, Yonkers, Albany, and Utica as primary targets. Dark black lines began extending from the advancing isometric images of Sharina's armies and terminating in the four targeted cities. Another black line began extending past New York City and entered the former state of New Jersey. Several numbers and text scrolled upwards in a text box in the lower right corner of the large map, displaying several significant tidbits of information.

[Sharina Task Force 1-A]
[Target: Albany]
[Strength: 300,000 troops.]

[Sharina Task Force 1-B]
[Target: Utica]
[Strength: 300,000 troops.]

[Sharina Task Force 2]
[Target: Yonkers]
[Strength: 300,000 troops.]

[Sharina Task Force 3]
[Target: New York City]
[Strength: 300,000 troops.]

[Sharina Task Force 4]
[Target: New Jersey]
[Strength: 300,000 troops.]

[Total committed forces: 2,000,000 troops.]
[Offense: 1,500,000 troops in New York and New Jersey.]
[Defense: 500,000 troops on Defense Duty in New England.]

Major General Tresniel Pra'vac steepled his hands, as he began pondering possible scenarios and future engagements in New York and New Jersey.

Thus, the hour is at hand.

Sharina's Fourth Age of Reunification has begun.

ooc: I could swear that Fod owned massachucets, and that you had a small base there, i think.... I have to check that.
Anyhow, i wouldn't dare attack you. But if you do attack New York, MY home town, then i will defend it! Well, it isn't my auctual hometown... but still.

OOC: Vineyard, I'll take Guilderland and Schenctedy to complete my deal with Fod for Niskayuna and Colonie. :)

OOC: Vineyard, I'll take Guilderland and Schenctedy to complete my deal with Fod for Niskayuna and Colonie. :)


OOC:

Fod is gone, his government has collapsed into anarchy.

I've already sent 1,500,000 troops into New York and New Jersey (1,200,000 will secure New York and 300,000 will secure New Jersey).

I have had these troops since my original invasion of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Then these troops were reinforced when the TAG deal fell through with Fod, as well as the Doma Chusetts rebellion. In addition, right after the Doma Chusetts rebellion, I conquered Connecticut with considerable reinforcements.

I also have my navy lending support via bombarding and blockading off the coast of Long Island and the shores of New York + New Jersey.


I would like to know how TGSR's deal with Fod is revelant, seeing that Fod in Earth V has collapsed. TGSR still has his two bases in New York, but whatever else would be "interrupted" by Fod's anarchy situation.

Could we untangle this mess?

President Mina Veristek,

Our intentions are to contruct, but also develope any existing airports listed on that list, and the more complete list being made by Luft Industries to be released in the near future. The primary purpose of these airports are to provide international travel opertunities, including transaltantic and transpacific flights for larger airports to your other territories and beyond, while including flights to nearby countries for the small airports on our commuter Independence Air airlines, such as Aruba, Texas, and Chicago in Norleans. The General Aviation (GA) airports are designed for personal use, such as airshows and flying lessions (For example, Palmdale Airport outside of Los Angles will be a GA airport).The private airfields are designed to allow business travel, specificly from international destinations (For example, Sacremental Excutive will be a Private airport).

All I have is around ten square miles around Albany International Airport (I now completely own the airport, since Fod's gone). Nothing else (and it's not a "base", it includes two towns, Colonie and Niskayuna). And I really do not want much else, so I'll just stay with my little plot of land I have.

-Telegram to Sharina-
We have ownership and claim of New York. We will allow your passage to New Jersy, under the escort of our fighters. We will allow the passage of your New Jersy Column as we have no plans for that Truckers haven. Otherwise, cross NY's borders under penalty of war. We DO have nukes in New York. We would be glad to send one or two your way.

-Lord Vineyard II


ooc: BEFORE sharina starts bitching claiming that i don't have a nuke there--- he's right. I don't. But what does Sharina know ICly? Its a bloody bluff. And i suspect sharina in the IC world will magically know its a bluff or ignore the threat due only to this ooc. Just watch.

Also, shouldn't i find a bunch of Fod goodies there? Like tanks and abandoned bases and encampments?

Your proposal is more than acceptable. Please contact Director Lasha Il'ava, Sharina's Director of Economics to work out the necessary materials, equipment, budgets, timetables, technologies, and so forth for our coordinated project to upgrade Sharina's civilian aircraft sector.

I eagerly await our nations growing closer in friendship and may this cement our alliance even further!

-Trippily quadruply encoded message to TGSR-
All land taken by Vineyardian troops in new york is immediately placed in your hands as it is conquered if you agree to the following agreement:

-Vineyard will have the right to draft and tax the citizens
-TGSR owns all buissness in the Vineyardian held State of New York
-TGSR protects Vineyardian held NY territory and lays FULL claim to it.
-Vineyard CANNOT establish bases there, and no military forces other than officers can be present in the state. Although, Vineyard reserves the right to manufacture weapons in the state.
-Fernwood Drive is made into a Croatian monument.

With this treaty, Sharina can't take back any land or launch an attack or counter attack for that matter. TGSR CANNOT surrender these rights to any other nation.

I hope we have a deal.

We will allow the passage of your New Jersy Column as we have no plans for that Truckers haven. Otherwise, cross NY's borders under penalty of war. We DO have nukes in New York. We would be glad to send one or two your way.

-Lord Vineyard II


ooc: BEFORE sharina starts bitching claiming that i don't have a nuke there--- he's right. I don't. But what does Sharina know ICly? Its a bloody bluff. And i suspect sharina in the IC world will magically know its a bluff or ignore the threat due only to this ooc. Just watch.

Also, shouldn't i find a bunch of Fod goodies there? Like tanks and abandoned bases and encampments?

OOC:

I have an issue with this.

First, you flew your 300,000 mercanaries via TGSR's planes from Europe to New York, correct?

Second, this means Fod was supposed to supply your mercanaries with logistics support, like food, ammo, fuel, etc. Now that Fod's government is gone, and anarchy reigns, your mercenaries will have little to no logistical support.

Third, how will you support a war nearly halfway around the globe when you are involved with breaking away from the UFSR?

Finally, we signed a treaty just after you withdrew from Jamaica. It states that Sharina will not establish bases or annex land in Europe and Asia. Likewise, Vineyard is not to establish bases or annex land in the Americas. Before you say "Hey, that treaty's no good anymore", remember we cancelled the World War, so my forces NEVER went to Europe. The only reason I sent my troops to Europe was to honor FOAM obligations. For all intents and purposes, I have been honoring our treaty as the World War never took place as agreed back at Zifos.

============================
TGSR, I would be more than happy to let you keep your airport in Albany. Consider that as an extra-sized Embassy in my nation. Works out nicely, doesn't it? :)

I forgot about that treaty... Ok. After i annex NY in the name of TGSr, i will leave. Look at the proposed treaty above for further detail. I have just edited it to fit the treaty.

Agreed. Fod WAS providing logistics. Perhaps you didn't notice the part where i steal civilian transportation means to travel around. My troops are looting the supplies as they go, one reason for the split. it is easier to maintain ith smaller numbers like that.

just think of all those poor, poor grocery stores... Damn price chopper!

Operation Colonial: +1 week

Major General Tresniel Pra'vac stared at the large map display and smiled slightly. The green shade had grown in size from the original shading of the three states of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. The green shade denoting Sharina ownership and control enveloped New York City, and extended up aganist the New York - New Jersey border. The shade also enveloped the town of Yonkers, as well as the majority of New York within 60 kilometers of the New York - Massachusetts and New York - Connecticut borders.

A flag with a fist in it materialized above New York City and Yonkers, denoting a siege. Several isometric images of Sharina Task Forces 1-A and 1-B were arrayed a stone's throw from Albany, within a dozen kilometers. Several icons with a question mark above them appeared, showing unexpected resistance from a much larger force than anticipated.

A flag bearing the Greater Sixth Reich insignia rose above Albany, denoting mysterious communications in the German language, as well as radio frequencies unique to Greater Sixth Reich.

Major General Tresniel Pra'vac stared at the Greater Sixth Reich insignia, and groaned imperceptibly.

What are Sharina's allies doing in the middle of a war zone? What are Europeans doing in America, nearly half a world away? What is going on here?

Pra'vac picked up the phone on his desk and punched a coded number sequence. The phone shook slightly from the sheer force of Pra'vac's intense finger jabbing. Suddenly the familiar feminine SharTac NEHQ voice came online, and Pra'vac nearly roared into the phone.

"Could someone tell me what in Klothas are Greater Sixth Reich forces doing in Albany? Why hasn't Sharina been informed of this? I demand to know what is going on with our allies! Someone in SharIntel needs to be put into the cheese grinder, for the poor lack of intelligence gathering on Greater Sixth Reich status!"

The feminine voice was slightly taken aback, but quickly regained her composure.

"General, this matter will be brought up to President Mina Veristek, as she has been conducting all diplomatic matters lately. I shall connect you to her momentarily."

A minute passed by, until Pra'vac heard a click.

"Major General Tresniel Pra'vac, what is this about Greater Sixth Reich forces in New York?"

Pra'vac cleared his throat, for he was speaking to the most powerful woman in Sharina.

"Ma'am President, I recieved reports from Sharina commanders near Albany that they detected radio waves and signals that corresponds with Greater Sixth Reich. They have also determined the language spoken to be German, which further confirms the presence of Greater Sixth Reich forces in the general area.

What I don't understand is that how SharIntel could have missed this. Surely, we must have had plenty of dossiers and information on Greater Sixth Reich, as we are allies with them."

President Mina Veristek suppressed a growl, not directed at Pra'vac, but at the incomptent SharIntel service.

"Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I shall contact Greater Sixth Reich immediately. This matter will be resolved promptly.

Live well."

Pra'vac nodded towards himself, as he spoke into the phone's mouthpiece.

"Thank you. I will see this campaign through. Live well."

The phone hung up, as Pra'vac sat back pondering this turn of events.

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

President Mina Veristek sighed as she hung up the phone, slightly fuming inwardly. She quickly began composing a message to Greater Sixth Reich, as she knew time was of the essence in a large scale military campaign. A message was sent within an half an hour.

=================================
Comminque to Greater Sixth Reich:

Greetings, friend.

It has come to my attention that Sharina military forces have ecountered radio signals and tranmissions in the vicinity of Albany, which match your signals and language.

I would like to know what this means. Do you actually have a base in Albany, or are there some terrorists that are somehow copying your signals and language.

We must get to the bottom of this before lives are lost un-necessarily.

Live well,
~President Mina Veristek

OOC:

Vineyard, there's a couple more things.

1. You sent mercenaries, not "regular" Vineyard troops, so I would have no way of knowing it is *you* annexing New York. For all Sharina knows, it's fighting more Anarchists or Warlords fighting over Fod's lands.

2. Consquently, your IC demand / bluff in New York would be called, because again, there were no official / concrete Vineyardian presence. In other words, Sharina would laugh at your demands solely because as far as Sharina knows IC'ly your military hasn't ventured out of Europe and Africa. Satellite scans, radio tranmissions, sonar buoys, RADAR screens, etc. would show a significant fleet heading to New York to deposit troops and material. But again, you sent mercenaries which are like pirates or privateers, not formally affliated with your nation.


Basically, as far as Sharina knows, your official forces do not exist or are not present in New York. That is the risk of using mercenaries, as nations are not obliged to take the mercenaries word, and if your mercenaries claim they are from Vineyard and your government confirms it, it would mean you are the one breaking the "Jamaica Treaty".

However, I am willing to give you something, Vineyard. Perhaps I could allow you to set up an embassy on Fernwood Drive? That way, we can establish more formal relations, reduce "misunderstandings" and you get to have Fernwood Drive.

BTW, is Fernwood Drive your home street, or something special to you in RL? I'm perfectly willing to let you have it as an embassy + mounument complex. :)

ooc: holy, what the, Holy, what the. Damn, your RPs come in rapid scession. Your troops moved with stunning speed. Abnormal speed, auctaully, to New york before i would be even half way there. Even considering that you don't won massachucets.

Fod had shown me a naval base on the water. I believe that it was situated around Boston. But i know for a damn fact that Fod didn't give it to you.

So that, added with the fact that my troops are already in new York, puts your troops somewhere in massachucets.

You MUST be confused. have to be. I DIVIDED my troops. My army is not in buffalo. Now, let me pull a sharina.

After one week, Sharinaian troops had beaten Vineyardian troops to NYC and were already on the outskirts of Albany. Vineyard's new tatic of fastening 50 pounds of iron to each soldiers leg was ineffective, as his troops moved at the speed of retarded snails.

I think ato pulled that on me once. here is what an Ato is:
::Mabye if i write TWO rp's within the space of an hour or two about one event, i can out race him using an RP! hHe would never know what hit him! 1 or 2 hours is plenty of time to respond, he was Ignoring me! Yes! of course! And my rp racing techniques have outraced his armies to the punch, we got through before they knew that we were near by!



Sharina, is your next post going to be your troops are IN albany!?!?!?!?


Another thought. You think you started a week before my troops did. WRONG. As soon as the anarchy broke loose, Vineyardians would be all over it! If you AUCTUALLY think that by the time you were near Albany my troops realised that the empty guard stations and the mass looting and anarchy over the past week ment Fod was gone, just like how their leaders were dead or gone, then you think of my troops as vegtables! Seriously!

This is unplesant. REALLY unplesant. i think Sharina's moves border God-moding.

1). Regular Vineyardians, yes. they are not reservists, unlike the world war RP. they are disguised.

2. Consquently, your IC demand / bluff in New York would be called, because again, there were no official / concrete Vineyardian presence. In other words, Sharina would laugh at your demands solely because as far as Sharina knows IC'ly your military hasn't ventured out of Europe and Africa.

But again, you sent mercenaries which are like pirates or privateers, not formally affliated with your nation.

They could be like... Croatian Osamas! Minus the big turban! Aka, a terrorist group ceeding land to TGSR. i wouldn't put it past the guy to recruit terrorists...

Basically, as far as Sharina knows, your official forces do not exist or are not present in New York. That is the risk of using mercenaries, as nations are not obliged to take the mercenaries word, and if your mercenaries claim they are from Vineyard and your government confirms it, it would mean you are the one breaking the "Jamaica Treaty".

2) Like the treaty says, i am not allowed to have military there. that is why they are annexing in the name of TGSR.

However, I am willing to give you something, Vineyard. Perhaps I could allow you to set up an embassy on Fernwood Drive? That way, we can establish more formal relations, reduce "misunderstandings" and you get to have Fernwood Drive.

BTW, is Fernwood Drive your home street, or something special to you in RL? I'm perfectly willing to let you have it as an embassy + mounument complex. :)Fernwood drive is in Niskayuna. TGSR territory. Answers in italics upstairs. hope it clears things up. lets keep the OOC to Telegrams, ok?

Oh... that didn't work. God, im an idiot. Ok, the will be underlined.

ooc: holy, what the, Holy, what the. Damn, your RPs come in rapid scession. Your troops moved with stunning speed. Abnormal speed, auctaully, to New york before i would be even half way there. Even considering that you don't won massachucets.

Seriously!

This is unplesant. REALLY unplesant. i think Sharina's moves border God-moding.

Okay, allow me to address these issues.

1. I have had Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut for quite a while. Here's the link to my RP at Zifos that CLEARLY showed me taking over these lands. That RP took place 2 to 3 months ago, between Feb. 3 and Feb. 22.

Link to RP.... http://www.zifos.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=112&start=0

2. I did not sign the treaty with Fod regarding military bases. That conference ended early.

3. By the time your mercenaries took over Buffalo and Albany, my troops would have reached 60 kilometers into New York, considering that I have 5x the amount of your troops in New York. You see, you would have needed 1 week to take over northwest New York (Buffalo, Albany, Sycrause, etc.).

Also, New York City is right next to the New York - Connecticut border, where I had amassed my troops. New York City is a LOT closer to Connecticut than it is to Albany or Buffalo.

1,500,000 Sharina troops > 300,000 Mercenaries. 5x factor.

60 kilometers = roughly 35 - 40 miles. Not a lot of distance to cover in 1 week, considering the number of troops, and the full combat readiness of my troops (they were expecting an invasion from Fod, so they were ready to fight).

4. I moved my troops west from the Massachusetts - New York border and Connecticut - New York border to invade New York. The majority of my troops were stationed along the borders to put up stiff resistance aganist a possible Fod invasion.



Last of all... I must repeat what I stated in my previous post.

Your 300,000 mercenaries are in New York. They are not "formally" affliated with your government, so if I attack them, I will not be breaking any international laws or the treaty between Sharina - Vineyard. I'm going to be fighting land-lubber versions of pirates, cut-throats, privateers, etc. secretly supported by Vineyard.

If these 300,000 mercenaries turn into Vineyardian soldiers, with "formal" support and recongition from Vineyard government, then that *will be* breaking our Jamaica Treaty. You will be the one who will be breaking it, not Sharina.



Just trying to clear up any issues. You gotta love politics. :p

If you are using the sheer numbers of your army to justify speed, you are 'on' something. I mean that in a joking sence.

Larger numbers of troops simply slows you down. Unless your soldiers are riding eachother. Then they can have more human mounts and take more breaks. Then again, that's just wrong.

Logistically, it would be harder to maintain that number of troops, especially if you are trying to move quickly. At the speed you predict, you will overrun your own lines.

Also, it is 'silly' and false to think that your troops could go from NYC to Albany quicker than a smaller 'Mounted'(as in, motorized infantry) force from Schenectady to Albany. I would be well into the Catskills before our forces met up.


EDIT: I get it now! You are advancing on a BROAD front! This is good news! Now, i need a elevation and terrain map of the area around Albany. Time to pull out the old Military Maxim.

Exactly. 1000 troops can occupy much more land than 10 troops. 1000 troops can advance aganist more land / targets. than 100 troops.

I'm looking forward to have some kind of good battles with your mercenaries. I'd like to see what happens between a 600,000 man army and 300,000 man mercenary army in MT times.

I can guanatree you that I won't go overboard, or use "fantastic" stuff like VI. I've been meaning to try out my heavy artillery platforms aganist a real "player" and not a "NPC".


EDIT: My troop numbers include both Army and Airforce, as well as logistics personnel as per Mauiwowee's rule. 1,500,000 total in New York. But it would be actually around 1,200,000 Army and 300,000 Air Force. Maybe not exact, but rough estimate.

Brigadeer General Markiovellicent was no fool. He quickly sized up the situation and deployed his men to restore and keep order. News of the total collapse of Fodmodmadtol's government had spread like wildfire through Kentucky - Before the general population had time to react, General Markiovellicent had begun the deployment of the men under his command in the Norleans' base in Lexington, KY and had issued orders to all other Norleans personnel begin deployment. 25,000 men had been given marching orders in Nashville, TN and were on their way and patrols had begun to fill the skys on a regular basis. He commandeered a television station and broadcast the following message locally in Lexington and it was quickly picked up and rebroadcast throughout Kentucky and even in parts of Virginia and West Virgina (which was actually a good thing as it turned out).

People of Kentucky - the sudden and unexpected collapse of the government of Fodmodmadtol has left many of you wondering what will happen to you and your homes next. Rest assured - as long as you remain calm, the answer is nothing. Nothing significant about your way of life will change. As you are all aware, Norleans and Fodmodmadtol had established a "free zone" in Kentucky and Tennessee and many of our citizens and people are here and many of yours are there. We are stepping in now to take full control of Kentucky and ensure the continued peaceful stability of our and your citizens. Kentucky will now become a full state of the Norleans' union and reunite under a single government with its southern cousins and roots - The South has risen once again and you have joined us, finally. Please obey our soldiers for the time being, we have declared martial law until all is in place and at that time, we will return you to your normal lives as citizens of Norleans and the great state of Kentucky. The Derby is coming soon and it is our intention to ensure it runs as always without a hitch and that the citizens of Norleans and Kentucky are able to attend as always and enjoy the greatest test of skill and courage in modern sports. Other information will be forthcoming and you will be kept up to date on things as order under the new government is established. You have no reason to fear Norleans control though and anyone on the borders of Tennessee and Kentucky knows that and can attest to the lives led by citizens of Norleans in Tennessee and the citizens of Kentucky that also live and work in Tennessee. Remain calm and respect the need for a temporary tightening of the security of Kentucky for a bit and soon all will be as it ever was.

This was in the wrong thread, it should be here not in the claims thread. Norleans, get it together man!! :rolleyes:

OPERATION VZ

Mauiwoweean Brazil's governor, Ghomez Ahdams knew he needed to seize the chance while he could - Fod had collapsed, full scale civil war in Mauiwowee was likely coming and he needed a reason to stay out of it and secure his control and his people. He had already agreed to stop shipments of oil from Brazil to Australia and was trusting Karond Kar to keep it's promise in that regard. But he needed to move now - maybe what he had planned would help stave off the wrath of queen Harriet if she determined was was up. He massed the troops and began some strategic intelliegence and planning. His airplanes began to fill the sky's over Venezuala and operation VZ was put into full swing. In the next week, a full scale invasion would begin. Venezuala would be added to Mauiwowee's holdings, with other sections of South America to be added later. But VZ must be taken now! The orders were issued, it was now a matter of time.

Mauiwowee, that's a nice gun. When it comes up as an export option, do you reckon I could get my hands on a few?

Probably :)

President Mina Veristek smiled as she read the latest SharTac reports detailing movements and large scale activity in South America. She rubbed her eyes before putting the stack of reports down on her wooden desk.

So little sleep nowadays.

Mina began composing a message to one of Sharina's closest allies, Mauiwowee.

=========================================================
Tranmission to Queen Harriet of Mauiwowee:

Greetings, friend. How are you faring these days?

It has come to my attention that your military appears to be undertaking massive movements aganist Venezeula, according to satellite imagery and long range ground sensors based in Ecaudor. In light of this development, I would like to propose the following deal so that our two great nations may benefit from the downfall of the Marxist Corporation of Fodmodmadtol.

1. Sharina acquires Columbia, Panama, and Costa Rica.
2. Mauiwowee acquires Venezeula, Guyana, French Guyana, and Suriname.

This would allow Sharina to construct much needed overland routes to connect North America and South America, as well as finally connecting Ecaudor to mainland Sharina. This will benefit the economies of both continents immensely, and SHIT will have far easier access to material in mega-bulk quantities. Sharina plans on constructing multiple railroads, and current estimates project that Sharina will be able to haul in excess of 20 million tons of goods and material to and from South America annually. This is far more efficient than sea based transportation, as sea transportation is privy to piracy, foreign naval blockades, and rogue submarines from factions such as Cult of Barney.

Please inform me of your thoughts on this deal.

Live well and prosper,
~President Mina Veristek

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

Mina sighed deeply as she hit the SEND button. She shook her head imperceptibly as she opened another stack of SharTac information. Several minutes passed by as she read the SharTac updates and reports on preparations in Latin America and Ecaudor.

She nodded after reading several more pages of reports.

Excellent. It is time.

Mina input a coded string on a keypad hidden under her desk, and several seconds later, a secure connection was established to SharTac Primary HeadQuarters. Mina began speaking, seemingly to herself, as there were no obvious mouthpieces or microphones present in the room.

"It is time. Initalize Operation Jade Bridge."

A voice erupted out from nowhere, with an apparent masculine voice.

"Acknowledged. It shall be done."

Mina uttered a simple phrase before closing the secret channel.

"Live well and propser. Mina out."

Mina began attacking the piles of paperwork and reports, in an attempt to get them done as quickly and efficiently as possible.

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

Two hours later, Operation Jade Bridge began with a large bang, as nearly three million Sharina troops began flooding into Columbia and Costa Rica from Ecaudor and Nicaragua repsectively. Nearly a hundred Sharina warships began bombarding known hostile military bases and regions from the Pacific and Caribbean coasts. Aircraft and missiles began flying out of multiple Sharina locations, including Cuba, Jamaica, Mexico, California, Arizona, Ecaudor, Guatemala, and Honduras.

The second part of Sharina's Fourth Age of Reunification had begun.

OOC-Sharina: You do know that Great Romeo owns Costa Rica?

OOC-Vineyard: Does conscription follow the standard guidlines that it normally does in this? If it doesn't, then the deal is off. If it does, then it is a yes.

Comminque to Greater Sixth Reich:

Greetings, friend.

It has come to my attention that Sharina military forces have ecountered radio signals and tranmissions in the vicinity of Albany, which match your signals and language.

Ludo was at his desk at the time, while Otto and Adolf were eating Weiner Schnitzel und Beer made by their special chef. Thus, Ludo recieved the letter instead of Otto or Adolf. He promtly replied:

"Guten tag alliierter,

We are surpised you did not know of this before, as we had made a public deal with Fodmadmodtol several months ago. Niskayuna and Colonie, both small towns in New York, our completely controled by The Great Sixth Reich. We have three small military detachments in Niskayuna, Colonie, and Scoatia (the last which would not be in your records, since it is a town we just occupied when Fodmadmodtol went into anarchy, because it is just across the Mohawk River and did not have any defensive forces): One is the Sechzigste Mutterland Schutzkraft (60th Motherland Defense Force), which is currently guarding our borders. The second is the Siebzigste Luftwaffenflügel (70th Airforce Wing) (at former Stratton AGB in Scotia). The third and last is the Luftwaffenstützeflügel (70th Airforce Support Wing) stationed at Albany International Airport in Colonie. All are now aware of your presence, and will not shoot your soldiers if you appoarach in a peaceful manner (Sharina colors are usually fine, but don't have your soldiers make any stupid moves that signifies agressiveness, or it will look like terrorists in desguise).

Ludo Hienkel"

Meanwhile, troops fresh from the italian campaign were assembling on the border with Great Romeo. A telegram was sent to GR.
-Non-encrypted telegram-
Join or die.
~unsigned~

The Serbian Senate was extremely angry and shouting "Stupid good-for-nothing jackass treehugging Croats!" when they heard the message. They all prompty reply:

"We agreed to join and withdraw when you would create EATO. Therefore, we are in EATO, and not in USFR. We would love to help you kill people, even if it meant working with Croats, if it meant us getting some land to put our two billion plus people in.
Signed by the sixty members of the Senate."

President Mina Veristek read the recent communication from Greater Sixth Reich, and breathed a deep sigh of relief. She immediately began composing a response, for time was of the essence.

====================================
Encrypted tranmission to Greater Sixth Reich:

Greetings, Ludo Heinkel.

I appreciate the quick response, and I also am grateful for the clarification that you have just provided. In light of this, I would like to propose a deal, which will bring our two nations even closer in our alliance.

1. Greater Sixth Reich gets to keep Albany and its three suburbs of Niskayuna, Colonie, and Scoatia. That would be a perfect "embassy" for your people to have in Sharina, while having a considerable amount of land to construct aircraft businesses. This could be a good beginning for our planned Greater Sixth Reich - Sharina effort to modernize Sharina's civilian aircraft sector.

2. Sharina annexes the rest of New York, so Sharina will be able to begin constructing overland routes from Manitoba to New York. This will boost our aircraft project, as Sharina will be able to haul thousands and millions of tons of aircraft material via rail or tractor-trailer truck from Albany. You can send engineers, materials, aircraft, etc. via barge from the Atlantic Ocean into Albany via the Hudson River, then my trains can bring them to mainland Sharina.

It's a win-win situation for us both, wouldn't you agree?

I shall immediately instruct Sharina Command to engage in new directives to consider your troops and holdings in Albany as "Friendly". Our troops will lend support to your troops in case more Anarchists and warlords choose to attack Albany.

Please inform me of your response to my proposal regarding Albany as an Embassy City.

Live well and prosper.
~President Mina Veristek

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

OOC:

I thought Costa Rica was free? It said "Free, but Great Romeo Influenced government" earlier? :confused:

OOC-Sharina: You do know that Great Romeo owns Costa Rica?

OOC-Vineyard: Does conscription follow the standard guidlines that it normally does in this? If it doesn't, then the deal is off. If it does, then it is a yes.
My consciption forcues on Intellegence, Strength, physical size, and mental health. For instance, we don't want a 6 foot 10 fat dude that is a skitsophrenic. or however you spell it. And we won't recruit really smart people that are ment for the top jobs in our governments. We divide the conscription quotas issued equally amungsyt provences, leaning a little to the Croatian side, as they make up the command and officer core. And we use Croatians for soldiers as well. For instance, we have Botswanian divisions, Albanian divisions, Italian divisions, Iraqi divisions, ect... Each division is equally trained and receave equal equiptment. Installing them into national units intsills a pride in their unit. A sort of 'National Pride' that you have in your home area and/or country. I think you are concerned that i will draft all of NY. We can iron out precentages later.

There are 2 alternitives. Vineyardian New York falls into your hands, and with the treaty, it remains in your hands. Or, if you refuse the treaty, we will burn and destroy every house, town, and city to the ground rather than let it fall into the hands of Sharina. No offence sharina, but i don't like leaving valuables behind.

OOC: Costa Rica is a seperate political nation. But here's why I changed it around a month ago: Considering Costa Rica does not have an army, airforce, or navy (look it up), and Great Romeo has army and naval presence all over the country (because the government wants to be a protectorate in this dangerous times, and because Great Romeo built there canal), you could say it's completly owned by Great Romeo, because their "government" would be crushed the second they interferred.

OOC2: One major problem with the contract that I want to raise OOC. Niskayuna, Colonie, and Scotia are suburbs of the city of Schenectady (where Edison opened General Electric. Not actually a thrieving city as it once was, but it still was the first city in the world to have electrified street lights).

(Now, if Vineyard did not already conquer the Western New York area, read this):

The Great Sixth Reich would look more favorablely to having more Germanic sections of western New York than Albany, such as Buffalo and the suburb of Hamburg. Except the TG6R Poland wants Little Poland (around the old train station in downtown) so badly they would pay up to fifty million for it, as it is where Poles used to sell freshly decapited ducks and kabasas to travelers. Perhaps a monetary exchange could be arranged for this upgrade?

My consciption forcues on Intellegence, Strength, physical size, and mental health. For instance, we don't want a 6 foot 10 fat dude that is a skitsophrenic. or however you spell it. And we won't recruit really smart people that are ment for the top jobs in our governments. We divide the conscription quotas issued equally amungsyt provences, leaning a little to the Croatian side, as they make up the command and officer core. And we use Croatians for soldiers as well. For instance, we have Botswanian divisions, Albanian divisions, Italian divisions, Iraqi divisions, ect... Each division is equally trained and receave equal equiptment. Installing them into national units intsills a pride in their unit. A sort of 'National Pride' that you have in your home area and/or country. I think you are concerned that i will draft all of NY. We can iron out precentages later.

There are 2 alternitives. Vineyardian New York falls into your hands, and with the treaty, it remains in your hands. Or, if you refuse the treaty, we will burn and destroy every house, town, and city to the ground rather than let it fall into the hands of Sharina. No offence sharina, but i don't like leaving valuables behind.

We accept.

OOC: This is assuming that you control Buffalo. Also, the last note to Sharina is to be disgarded.

Heh. Actually, you'll make my job easier in New York. Rebuild it to Sharina specifications.

I already have surrounded New York City, and begun the process of liberating it from Anarchists and Warlords. My Army reached NYC easily, as it is right next to Connecticut, and directly in the path of a New Jersey invasion.

Everything else beyond 60'ish kilometers (roughly 35 miles) from Mass / Conn borders can be razed or whatever as you deem fit. I'm planning a drive northwest, bypassing Albany as the Albany situation has just been resolved IC'ly between me and TGSR in our encrypted tranmissions.

OOC: What does Vineyard control? Now I'm confused! Can I get land from Sharina and get land from Vineyard too?

OOC: What does Vineyard control? Now I'm confused! Can I get land from Sharina and get land from Vineyard too?

OOC:

Here's the low-down.

1. Sharina is in the process of annexing New York and New Jersey, with a possible expansion into Pennslyvania, Delaware, Maryland, and Ohio. There is also a possibility of taking New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine if Julioppines doesn't want them. I'm attempting to re-unify as much as the former USA as I can, along with Canada and Latin America.

2. Vineyard sent 300,000 mercenaries to New York to help Fod in his war aganist Julioppines and me, but now that Fod "collapsed" into anarchy, Vineyard's 300,000 mercenaries are stuck in New York, with limited supplies and logistics.

3. My forces are in the process of driving westwards in New York, and eventually begin fighting Vineyard's 300,000 troops. My forces are at Albany, Yonkers, New York City, and getting ready to drive towards the Great Lakes. Next targets will be Sycrause, Rochester, Utica, and the farmlands west of New York City.

4. Vineyard cannot annex New York, or claim it as his own, because then that would mean he broke the Jamaica Treaty. His nation / government cannot "officially" or "formally" support the mercenaries in New York, or do anything about them in an official manner. Otherwise, breach of Jamaica Treaty.

5. Sharina is prepared to allow TGSR to keep Albany Airport, and the three suburbs of Schenadty (Are they your hometowns in RL? I'd be more than happy to let you have them).


Jamaica Treaty basically means...

1. Sharina does not establish colonies, territories, or holdings in Europe and Asia.
2. In return, Vineyard does not establish colonies, territories, or holdings in the Americas.

If Vineyard turns his mercenaries into regular "sponsored" troops, or if he tries to annex New York in his name, it would mean he is breaking point #2 in the Jamaica Treaty.



Hope this helps ya out understand whats going on :) .

OOC: I see. So for now, we do that treaty. Then I can sign a deal with Vineyard later on if he wins the battle (your both allies of ours, so no pressure from our government. But Vineyard does have the better deal, I must say.). And hopefully get the German sections of Buffalo if you win.

And Vineyard. You're free to build your stuff on Fernwood. But I get to build a bigger manson on Gloria. ;)

Okay, will do.

One issue though. Vineyard will have a hell of a challenge. I sent 1.5 million troops into New York, then the troops split. 300,000 goes to New Jersey, and the rest will annex New York. Another 500,000 are guarding Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.

Vineyard will have a big challenge trying to completely defeat 1.2 million troops with his 300,000 mercenaries, who are suffering supply and logistics problems in trying to live off a land in anarchy.

If Vineyard decides to send more troops into New York from Europe, it would be, as you germans say, verboten. Because then Vineyard would be risking a full war with Sharina due to breaking of Jamaica Treaty. Vineyard cannot declare war on me for attacking his mercenaries in New York because mercenaries by definition are like pirates, cut-throats, etc. with no formal "affliation" to any particular nation.

I am actually looking forward to seeing how Vineyard does in this scenario. I want to see him try to pull something off here. :)

OOC: Ja. But respect the German and Polish speaking areas!

The message from president Mina in Sharina was all the Duke needed to confirm his plans. Fodmodmadtol had just collapsed and a swift and decisive strike was needed before organized resistance, such as had caused so much trouble in Iowa in the past, could get its bearings. His commander in Kentucky had done a great job in sizing up the situation and moving quickly there and he was going to expand on that massively and quickly.

"General, how long before the troops and ships from Britain make it back to the Virginia coast?"

"About 3 days Duke" Replied his chief of staff

"Good, I want them on full readiness and prepared to attack if need be. Hopefully though, we can avoid that. Send, ASAP, 200,000 men, including a Gator Guard division or two into Virginia and West Virginia out of North Carolina and Tennessee. We've got 25,000 moving into Kentucky out of Nashville now and General Markiovellicent has done a good job and grabbing Kentucky quickly - I'm leaving him in command of that operation and directing you to cooperate with him if he needs assistance, though I don't think he will. The Prizzi's and the Henderson's and the DaVinci's have donated some money that you can "spread around" to key people if need be - approximately $430 million all told - you know how that works. I want birds of prey and raptors flying into airports in all those areas now, along with C-130's loaded with food and humanitarian type aid - send in the fighters as "escorts" for the cargo planes - but have the fighters remain when the cargo planes return and then send back the cargo planes with another load with more fighters as an escort - lets build up the presence of our fighters in the areas before it is noticed that is what is going on. Roll some Ferrets into the areas as well. Also, I want ships from the north 1/2 of Michigan to sail across the lakes with troops into the south 1/2 and our other men in Illinois and Wisconsin to move in quickly. I want these states under our control before they have fully realized that Fod's government is no more. Many people will be "holding onto" the idea that Fod is coming back. Use Fod's people still there as leaders if need be, offer to let them stay on as mayors, etc. Spend some of that money and exercise some diplomacy. Joe Jackson is back from Yemen, he's our top guy in that department - talk with him, send him into the biggest problematic area and send his deputies elsewhere. He is an expert at "persuasion.""

"Yes Duke, I got it. The troops will move within the hour. We'll have it all within a few days I would guess."

"No guessing, do it and tell me when you've finished."

"Yes sir, sorry sir."

"You're dismissed."

Turning to his computer, the Duke typed out and sent an encrypted message to his long time ally and friend (He had actually never met Mina, but his niece had in negoations in the Colorado and Nebraska Treaty and her report had been favorable as were the treaty terms she had negotiated with Mina prior to the assassination of her husband, former president Rand Versitek).

Dear Mina,
Your proposals are fine with us. You'll note we have launched major campaigns in Michigan, Kentucky, Virginia and West Virgina, taking advantage of our proximity to the situation, our friendly relationship with Fod's people over the years and the suddennes of Fod's collapse. The people of these areas will not have time to organize any significant resistance to us and we have plenty of "humantarian aid" to distribute to the general populance as well as to those in positions of political power still in the areas. We anticipate a rapid annexation of the areas into Norleans proper with full control and complete political shift within the month.

However, we are concerned about the possibility of full scale war in the North East. Fod reportedly had a significant number of mercenary troops in his land at the time of his collapse to assist him in his conflict with you and Julliopines and we are concerned about what they might do and who they will answer to without leadership from the Fodian goverment that hired them to begin with. Once we are sure we have fully secured Kentuck, Virginia, West Virginia and the remainder of Michigan, we will be in a position to assist you directly if need be. In the meantime, I've directed our agricultural director in Nebraska to ensure that food and other agri-products are shipped into Colorado on an expidited basis for your use in supplying your troops.

Sincerely,
Huey P. Long, III

TO: President Mina Veristek, Sharina
FROM: General Jack T. Ripper, Mauiwowee
RE: Operations

Dear President Veristek:

I am taking a gamble with the future of Mauiwowee by sending you this message. First, I wish to state I have reviewed you communication to Queen Harriet and discussed it with her and there is no formal objection to it by either her or me.

Secondly, and this is the major point of this message - it is being sent to you as this is the first time I have had a legitimate reason to send a message to Sharina's leadership since the death of King 'Lude. I know that you have heard the reports of his suicide and were saddened at them, as was I. However, I was distressed for another reason - I know that he did not committ suicide. He was murdered by Harriet - "The Black Queen" - in a palace coup. Our nations have long been friends and I'm sure you have some awareness of how I and 'Lude united Mauiwowee and turned this country into a world respected power, a respect and power that is now threatened by the actions of the Black Queen. She has done well at concealing the factions within our government and shutting the mouths of her more vocal opponents, but the imminence of full scale civil war still looms large. I am only partially trusted by her due to my friendship with 'Lude, but she needs me. You may or may not be aware that 3 of our carrier groups, some loaded with atomic weapons, have been declared "rebels" and "treasonous" by the queen and she has quietly set about to hunt them down and destroy them. Nigeria is fully under the control of forces that oppose Queen Harriet (though she is only just now becoming aware of that fact). Currently she is diverted by operations in Brazil and Venezuala - operations that I, knowing governor Ahdams in Brazil, assume are as much of a cover up for what is truly going on there as they are indicative of anything significant - he is diverting Harriet's loyal forces to a war with Venezuala so that they are out of the way for a time, but still accomplishing something useful for him and Mauiwowee as a whole.

You were a friend and ally of king 'Lude and myself -together we formed FOAM and have fought off the agression of the USFR to the point that their biggest war-monger, Vineyard, has now turned against them. Assist me now in what I ask.

Unknown to Harriet, King 'Lude had a son, Roxicet "Rox" Soma Narcosis, as the result of an affair a few years before he met Harriet. The boy is now 19 and ready to assume the throne as the legitimate heir to Mauiwowee. He is a good boy and ready to take up where 'Lude left off. But his existence and whereabouts cannot be revealed until Harriet is completely overthrown. Only 19 people in all of Mauiwowee know of his existence. I, and Commode Bostich of the "rebel" fleet are two of those people. A shift in government is coming soon at our hands, hopefully with the aid of Karond Kar and our former SHIT ambassador, Bridgee Bhardoe and current Karond Kar ambassador. I would ask you, as a personal favor to me and as a last gesture of friendship to 'Lude, that when the time comes, and you'll know it, that you support King Rox and recognize him as the true king of Mauiwowee.

I can't reveal further information at this time, but please consider our request and recognize, a leak of this message means my death and the full ascension to power of Harriet and the eventual splintering and even all out destruction, of your international ally, Mauiwowee.

Respectfully,
General Jack T. Ripper
Commander, Mauiwoweean Military Forces
CEO, W.M.D., Inc.

P.S. there is no need to reply to this message - When the time comes, I'll know who you support by your actions. I'll either be hauled up on charges of treason and executed or You'll make the announcement publicly of your support for King Rox.

Dear Mina,

Your proposals are fine with us. You'll note we have launched major campaigns in Michigan, Kentucky, Virginia and West Virgina, taking advantage of our proximity to the situation, our friendly relationship with Fod's people over the years and the suddennes of Fod's collapse.

Mina smiled as she read the telegram from the Cajun Empire of Norleans.

Two allies, Greater Sixth Reich and Norleans. Sharina's re-unification progress is guanatreed in New England. A third ally, Ato-Sara should enhance Sharina's efforts in finally re-unificating Latin America under one banner.

She turned towards her desk, and activated a very recently installed voice recongition software, a technology developed scant months ago. She began speaking towards her computer, and words materialized on the flatscreen display in front of her. A response message was composed towards Duke Huey Long III.

-------------------------------------------
Tranmission to Norleans:

Greetings, Duke Huey Long III.

I am pleased to hear of your plans and progress. Please allow me to address your concern of a full war in Northeastern region of the former USA. Sharina has already established a strong military presence, by sending 1.5 million troops for operations in New York and New Jersey.

Satellite recon has indicated a higher-than-normal concentration of unknown forces, probably a group of several powerful warlords and anarchists, in the general vicnity of Buffalo and possibly Rochester. I believe that fighting will be intense in these areas, due to the terrain and high concentration of forces.

However, once you complete your annexation of Michigan, it should open up an excellent venue for your troops to aid in the taking of Buffalo as well as lakeside towns and cities along the Great Lakes in New York. SharIntel has indicated that taking of New York will be the hardest part of Sharina's campaign, as there appears to be far less concentrations of enemy forces in other former USA states compared to New York.

Once again, Sharina appreciates your assistance, and shall always remember your kindness. I have been considering sending you a generous gift, in return for all of your assistance. $10 billion shall be wired as Sharina's gift to the Cajun Empire of Norleans. May we stand strong, for North America shall prosper under our combined reign.

Live well and prosper,
~President Mina Veristek

ooc: Gigantic Monkey Wrench time!

IC: Buffalo. The city of... stuff. 150.000 troops of the Vineyardian army were stocking up on supplies, ammo, and medicaal supplies; looted from the good citizens of Buffalo.
By the dock peering out into the great lakes, Their commander peered over a map. Sharina had fortified his territories with 500,000 troops. Too much land to completely fortify it throughly. Most of his troops were attacking from the East, leaving precious land open.

He called an assembly of Soldiers to tell them their destination.
"North West."
The soldiers moaned and look starteled and quite confused.
"We wil cross the great lakes and land in Sharinian territory. Then, we will blaze a trail to the eastern coast
"From there, we will seize boats somewhere on the coast and sail for home. We WILL easily have enough canned supplies to make it over the Atlantic in Yachts, fishing boats, and mabye even a few transport ships. Sharina's massive fleet is in Costa Rica, shelling their enemy. I have sent a tripple encoded transmission to HQ, and they will sent the fleet to escort us home. Any questions?"
the slodiers were all staring with open jaws. It was mission impossible, or Hannabal Baracca all over again.

"Oh, and any city or town we capture, we destroy and loot. We arn't here to stay. We are here to escape."


ooc: I have not posted what i will do with the troops in Albany yet. I KNOW what i am going to do, i don't have time to post it. Tonight i will. Gtg.

OOC:

Looking forward to your "moves" Vineyard.

I don't own New Hampshire, Maine, or Vermont yet. Also, I have some destroyers and patrol boats keeping watch in Cape Cod area, and northeastern Mass. to prevent pirates (Former Fod'ian fishers or coast guard looking for a quick profit) based in Maine from raiding Sharina shipping coming and going out of Boston Harbor and Fall River.

Also, if you go northwest, you'll be crossing into Celack territory, or go through Julioppines territory. It'll be interesting to see how you'll deal with them.

But again, I am looking forward to seeing you pull this off aganist either Sharina, Celack, or Julioppines (unfortunately Celack and Julioppines do not appear to be RP'ing actively here)

Also, Juli has ignored my attempts to tell him we are here. I have told him several times, and have even given him a link. Shortly after that was done, Marotella posted here, and Juli posted again back at Zifos. I think this is a sad and really stupid attempt to conceal the fact that Juli and Maro are the SAME PERSON.

Vineyard, here's rough map of my troops / deployments / etc.

http://img212.echo.cx/img212/7121/colonial11up.png

Green = Sharina owned land (according to Master Claims List)
Red = Anarchy, unclaimed land
Yellow = New York not under Sharina control
Dark Blue = New York under Sharina control (annexed)
Cyan = Sharina's frontline (where troops are advancing)

Dark blue splotches = Sharina Destroyers and Patrol Boats doing anti-pirate duty
Magenta splotches = Sharina battleships, aircraft carriers, missile cruisers, etc. bombarding New York and New Jersey


http://img89.echo.cx/img89/8876/colonial25yh.png

Green = Sharina owned land (according to Master Claims List)
Red = Anarchy, unclaimed land
White / light yellow = New York not under Sharina control
Dark Blue = New York under Sharina control (annexed)

Bright Yellow splotches = Sharina battleships, aircraft carriers, missile cruisers, etc. bombarding New York and New Jersey
Black Arrow line = Next phase of Sharina movement
Cyan line = Sharina's current front-line of troops


Hope that helps. :)

Not at all auctually. Although id DID show me your formations, it didn't tell me the troops numbers.

Thats what i ment by densities. What are the troop numbers. Tell me per district. Such as:
Albany: 300,000
Mahahababa: 200

See?

[Sharina Task Force 1-A]
[Target: Rome ---> Watertown]
[Strength: 300,000 troops.]

[Sharina Task Force 1-B]
[Target: Utica ---> Rochester]
[Strength: 300,000 troops.]

[Sharina Task Force 2]
[Target: Yonkers ---> Ithaca]
[Strength: 300,000 troops.]

[Sharina Task Force 3]
[Target: New York City ---> Pennslvania]
[Strength: 300,000 troops.]

[Sharina Task Force 4]
[Target: New Jersey ---> possibly Delaware / Maryland]
[Strength: 300,000 troops.]

[Total committed forces: 2,000,000 troops.]
[Offense: 1,500,000 troops in New York and New Jersey.]
[Defense: 500,000 troops on Defense Duty in New England*.]

* = Guarding Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.

Whats more, these numbers include logistics, and is a combination of Army + Airforce. 1.2 million total troops in New York state, of which roughly 1,000,000 Army and 200,000 Airforce.


Is this the info you wanted, Vineyard?

Si! Mucho Gracias!
Ja! Danke!
Yep! Thanks!

IC:
A ragged sldier came into the commanders tent. he was filthy, and his breathing was quick and harsh.
"Something's wrong."
The commander looked up.
"What?!"
"My platoon raided a warehouse, seemingly empty. There was a door on the floor. Yes, a bloody door. My men opened it, and entered. There was movement at the end of a dirt undergound hall of sorts, so we ran for it. it eluded us, but it didn't have time to pick up this sheet of paper..."
the Platoon Commander pulled out a crinkled sheet and showed it to the Commander. The commander's eyes grew wide.
"We must get out of here."
"INDEED!"

http://img182.echo.cx/img182/1926/nys16bh.jpg

Operation Colonial: +2 weeks.

Major General Tresniel Pra'vac stood before the massive flatscreen that occupied an entire wall in his command center in a newly constructed command center halfway between Worchester and Boston. His eyes constantly scanned the detailed larger than life map, depicting Operation Colonial, the invasion of the remainder of New England in the wake of the collapse of the Marxist Corporation of Fodmodmadtol. The map displayed each major engagement, locations of each division, current positions of various types of Army and Airforce units, and projected enemy positions.

Pra'vac furrowed his eyebrows as he scanned the map several more times with his calculating eyes. He tapped his headphone, activating his mouthpiece, and began speaking into it rapidly.

"Scroll back to Sharina positions 1 week ago."

The map transformed, responding to Pra'vac's vocal command, employing the latest in Sharina's recently developed voice command recongition software. The multiude of icons, colors, symbols, and boundaries on the map shifted positions, as the display read 'Operation Colonial +1 week'.

Pra'vac scanned the map once again, and shook his head.

"Show current status."

The map reverted to its original form, with current information. The green boundary denoting Sharina ownership extended away from New York City and ended halfway toward the city of Trenton in New Jersey. The green border also extended to the towns of Oneonta and Glen Falls, bypassing a small region around Albany and Schenectady colored in orange. The orange denoted Greater Sixth Reich troop concentrations, and unknown hostiles in the mountaintops near Albany.

Sharina army icons appeared to be driving hard towards the cities of Ithaca and Utica in New York, Trenton in New Jersey, and Philaphedia in Pennslyvania. The Sharina drive appeared to be bogged down just west of Glen Falls, running into more unexpected resistance and surprise gurriella type attacks.

Dark red enemy icons began appearing across the map display, detailing where Sharina satellite and ground reconassiance pinpointed major enemy locations. More than a dozen large red icons popped up around the vicinity of Albany and Buffalo, with several smatterings around Rochester and Syracuse. Two enemy icons appeared in New Jersey, directly adjacent from Trenton, while several icons materialized in central Pennslvania and around Philaphedia.

Pra'vac massaged the bridge of his nose as he took several steps backwards from the massive map display. He sighed deeply as he did not enjoy the question that was hovering at the back of his mind.

"What are Sharina's casaulties within the past two weeks of Operation Colonial?"

The map responded accordingly, displaying a text box with symbols in the Sharina language in the middle of the map screen. The symbols glowed red, as if it was declaring its contents in blood and gore. Pra'vac groaned as he read the seemingly blood-red symbols.

How many families will not see their sons, daughters, husbands, wives, fathers, or mothers ever again because of Operation Colonial? How many "We deeply regret to inform you..." letters will have to be signed in my name?

Pra'vac shook his head, as to wash his mind of those thoughts.

No! The gains that Sharina is making must outweigh the death and suffering of Operation Colonial. If North America is re-unified under Sharina control, then there won't be any need for more bloodshed and suffering. But to achieve this, we must go through the struggle.

But what of these people who have died, never to see the day of re-unification?

Pra'vac took another deep sigh, and an audible gulp escaped his throat as he tried to clear his suddenly dry throat. He returned his gaze upon the symbols, which displayed suffering and pain as merely numbers and statistics, uncaring of the deep emotional impact associated with their meaning. After all, digital displays are simply electronic pieces of information, and uncapable of any kind of thought or emotion.

[Sharina Casaulties:]

[Sharina Task Force 1-A]
[Dead: 1,432 troops.]
[Wounded: 2,111 troops.]

[Sharina Task Force 1-B]
[Dead: 1,009 troops.]
[Wounded: 1,683 troops.]

[Sharina Task Force 2]
[Dead: 720 troops.]
[Wounded: 955 troops.]

[Sharina Task Force 3]
[Dead: 1,191 troops.]
[Wounded: 1,803 troops.]

[Sharina Task Force 4]
[Dead: 884 troops.]
[Wounded: 1,220 troops.]

[Totals:]
[Dead: 5,236 troops.]
[Wounded: 7,772 troops.]

Major General Tresniel Pra'vac shook his head sadly, and a moment later bowed his head out of respect for the fallen Sharina warriors.

This is not over, not by a long shot.

OOC: Since Vineyard tells me I own the north half of western and central New York State since he controls it, our contract is in place:

TG6R land is everything from the line to the northern most borders.


OOC:

Just to let you know, Sharina won't recongize this IC'ly for two reasons.

1. Vineyard conquered these lands with his mercenaries. If the Vineyard nation claimed it conquered these lands IC'ly, then this would be a clear violation of the Jamaica Treaty. This means Sharina has every right to declare war upon Vineyard for the breaking of the treaty IC'ly.

2. My forces have already reached several positions inside the magneta border, notably near Utica and north of Albany (near Glen Falls).

An updated map will be posted.

Ummm... sharina? You know that that territory is now TGSR's right? Are you attacking him?

Here's the updated map.

http://img103.echo.cx/img103/9016/colonial30lq.png


OOC:

Vineyard, my forces do not know of the deal IC'ly. They are basically on an rampage of sorts, trying to drive straight for Rochester, Buffalo, and Lake Erie.

As you can notice in my updated map, my forces are avoiding Albany and Schenectady as per initial agreement between TGSR and Sharina IC'ly (the messaging back and forth earlier this week between Mina Veristek and Ludo Heinkel).

Besides, IC'ly this would appear extremely suspicious as the north 1/2 of NY suddenly falls under TGSR control when he only has a few troops stationed in Schenectady and Albany area, and no TGSR offensive (troops attacking other NY cities, particularly Rochester and Buffalo).

Once Sharina finds out about the deal IC'ly like "Don't attack North NY", it'll smell a ton of fishy's in this whole thing. I think this adds a new domension of tension and such.

Secret IC:

For secruity reasons, 15,000 soldiers are being flown into Stratton ANGB. (Just in case I need them for RP reasons, I can say they're there.)

ooc: You're a bit of a push over....
IC: The lead+ columns of sharina were just exiting glenns falls when a Officer with a red arm-band look down at the trigger in his hands. All cities gained had been rigged. And due to the imcompitance of TGSR high command, Sharian had arrogantly seized glenns falls.
Push.
Glens falls erupted into a massive fireball.

ooc: I have said it before, all Vineyardian cities conquered are rigged with explosives, ever since the russian war. Note the Skhalin ahd its cities wiped out like that.

He is attacking you, knowing full well that the land has been given to you. the message of your acceptance wasn't coded.

OOC: Then I say:

IC:

"President Mina Veristek,

We have recented a copy of the surrender of the Fodian Freedom Force (FFF) (the code-name of the main Fodian resistance operations in New York State) from the remaining land in their control in New York, if they are annexed by The Great Sixth Reich. Our guess is that they wish to be annexed by a former ally of the Federation, rather than Sharina. We'll let you have the lands you currently conquered, plus northeast, and south New York if you agree to allow us to annex the remaining lands they surrendered to us, minus the above. We also will offer our full military support, including Luftwaffe and Marine, to your current military operations. Finally, we will offer a free trade and travel agreement between our lands in North America.

The black area would be annexed by The Great Sixth Reich:

-Otto von Hienkel Rommel, Dictator."

OOC to Vineyard: Yes, we still are following your deal.

Meanwhile, the 3rd Assault Division was also departing to Buffalo-Niagera International Airport to assist Sharina if the deal went down smoothly.

The Boys from Brazil had begun their march. Two groups of soldiers, 100,000 in on group, 150,000 men in the 2nd group. The first obstacle would not be fighting as much as it was making it through the rugged terrain of the Guiana Highlands of Southern Venezuala. The first group was headed due north to the city of Ciudad Guayana and from there, onto Barcelona and Cumana. The 2nd, and larger group, would be heading east before turning north to Puerto Ayacucho. From there it was on to Barinas and then Valencia. Depending on the situation, it would then be on to Caracas or maybe Cabimas. The men were loaded and armed for bear though. Each Division had a full contingent of tanks and Ferrets in all models. They had choppers and a well established supply line back into Brazil. Air Strikes were avaiable on a moments notice as well. Venezuala didn't stand a chance - all was chaos there after the collapse of the Foddian Corporate Regime.

Meanwhile, almost the entire Atlantic fleet had entered the Carribean and would be withing striking distance of Caracas within 48 hours. The planes on the carriers were ready to strike and the sub-fighters were maintaining a constant patrol in fron of the carriers as they advanced. The plan, as the carriers and planes hit on Caracas and the surrounding areas, the army would slip up their backside from the highlands and trap any resistance in a pincer move. Venezuala would soon belong to Mauiwowee. The only issue in the mind of Mauiwoweean governor Ghomez Ahdams of Brazil was, which Mauiwowee. Queen Harriets' or someone elses. At least she supported the move and had bought the exucse that oil shipments needed to be temporarily halted to ensure sufficient supplies for the conquest of Venezuala. He hadn't drawn her ire or unwanted attention just yet.

-Otto von Hienkel Rommel, Dictator."


Mina Veristek groaned as she read the latest from Sharina's ally, Greater Sixth Reich. She leaned back in her chair, and began concentrating on possible solutions to the new wrench in Sharina's expansion. After what seemed like an eternity, Mina opened her eyes, and a smile spread across her face.

A short time later, a response was composed back towards Dictator Otto von Hienkel.

=========================================
Tranmission to Greater Sixth Reich:

Greetings.

I have reviewed your proposal, and have given it serious consideration. I have examined the benefits and drawbacks on whether Sharina accepts your deal. Before I make the final decision regarding your proposal, I must stress two major points about the Sharina expansion into New York.

The first reason why I have directed Sharina to expand into New York is because of the necessity of an overland route. Currently, Sharina controlled New England is solely dependent on supply via sea vessels. There are major issues with sea supply routes, which an overland route would eliminate. The distance from the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean to New England is over 2,000 - 3,000 kilometers. That is quite a long way for slow sea transports to travel, and along this considerable distance, there are plenty of risks, including hurricane weather, pirates, and foreign naval blockades to name a few.

An overland route is far harder for foreign nations to blockade, almost non-existant chance for piracy, and the only hazards would be snowy weather. With the annexation of New York, Sharina will be able to construct an overland route to Manitoba from the Buffalo - Rochester area. Sharina will be able to run freight between New England and Western Canada with its trains that can easily travel 4 to 5 times the speed of sea vessels. The reason New York was chosen is because of its proximity to the Great Lakes, and a railroad network that runs from Buffalo to Albany, and from Albany to either Boston or New York City. With this, Sharina will be able to easily run millions of tons of goods annually, a feat impossible on the seas.

The second issue is that Fodmodmadtol warlords and anarchists have already killed over 6,000 Sharinan soldiers, and wounded over 8,000. Then these scum have the audacity to surrender to someone other than Sharina, to avoid punishment and retruibution for the deaths of valiant Sharina warriors. The warlords and anarchists are taking advantage of you and your nation's generousity so that they can hide from justice. Sharina will not stand for that, for it is one of the worst affronts to Sharina's honor.

In light of these two issues, your deal would cost Sharina more in the long run, in terms of having no overland route, as well as warlords and anarchists escaping Sharina justice. There would be hundreds of potential ex-Fodmodmadtol terrorists hiding inside your borders, wreaking more havoc on Sharina. However, if Sharina were to annex 99% of New York, then all terrorist activity would be easily stamped out, as justice would be served to the warlords and anarchists.

So all this said, I must respectfully decline your offer. I did not come to this decision lightly, as I have considered and exhausted every possible scenario and possible benefit + disadvantage of this deal.

However, I am prepared to offer you re-compense.

1. Great Sixth Reich may keep the city of Schenectady and its surburbs of Niskayuna, Colonie, and Scotia.

2. I have heard some talk about you being interested in a German / Polish district or two in Buffalo.

3. Your people may freely move around in New York with little to no restrictions.

4. Your people may establish businesses freely in New York, without any tariffs and strict trade regulations.

5. You may have a military base in the vicinity of Schenectady to protect your city and suburbs.

6. Schenectady can be an extra-large embassy in Sharina for your nation.

7. Your people living in New York shall recieve Sharina citizenship, with the rights and privileges of a regular Sharina citizen.


I believe that these 7 concessions would allow your people remarkably similiar freedom in New York as if you controlled it directly. The only difference would be that Sharina would be administering New York, as well as greatly enhance New York's infrastructure at much cheaper costs.

Live well,
~President Mina Veristek

ooc: And here is the electrical pulse that will revive it!

IC: Croatian troops had smashed threough italy, and it was now fully occupied. Lord Vineyard II had seized napolean's former home Palazzina dei Mulini on the Island of Elba and moved the measume that used to occupy it to Napoleans other former residence on the island. He stood on the walls, peering west with his aids standing behind him, hands clapsed in front of them.

Lord Vineyard II turned around to face his men, and his bodyguard who were assembled in the courtyard.

"Contact the UFSR. Send Primere Deft The EATO constitution. Order the troops through out the Empire to shoot and kill all Political Officers and other agents of Russia. Let us be free being Sub-Servents of Russia!"

Lord Vineyard II scanned the city.
"And one last thing. Lock down the Island and this complex. this is where we will command the war from."



-Telegram to the UFSR-
Lord Vineyard II formally declares war opon the UFSR and its subjects. The Empire of Croatia is no longer a Subject of the corrupt and evil dictatorship called the UFSR. We invite other nations to join the Vineyardian banner and coat of arms in the fight against the UFSR opressors. It wasn't a partnership alliance, but a facist state thet ruled and raped the countries who allied with it. Enclosed is the EATO treaty. The time for action has come.

OOC: A lot has happend since I was gone. In accordance with the secret OOC aggreement between me and Vinny....

IC: In accordance with our agreements with the the Vineyard government and the nations of Warta Endor and Mauiwoee, the Union of People's Republics formally issues a declaration of war against Russia and all other Tenebrocis holdings. All anti UFSR forces are authorized to use Iran and Iranian occupied Afghanistan and Turkmenistan for staging airstrikes against Russia.

OOC: Now my forces won't stop at AFghan or Turk, they'll invade Uzbekistan on their way to Tene owned Kazahkstan, clearing the way for more allied troops to come through. Hopefully, Martollea or whoever he is will respond finally, I basically have taken AFgh and Turkmenistan from him as he hasn't responded to my invasion of his lands which occured two to three weeks ago.

75 Silkworm missiles have been fired at Moscow in support of Vineyard attack forces.

OOC: Arnt silkworms antiship not ICBM? (if they are ICBM dont even bother to reply. My own ignorance shall speak for itself.)

OOC: Busy creating my armed forces, so should be hammered out by Monday.

The Vineyarian assult troops, numbering 700,000 (100,000 pulled from Spain) Were sitting in small landing craft, floating around the Cirmea. The Crimea, aka the 'Bread basket' of Russia, sat inviting and empty. No enemy troops movements were apparent.
Their General, dressed and armed like any other soldier to avoid attention, peered out of the craft. No movement. VERY distrubing.
"Let's go. Quiet!"
"Aye!"
the motor boats crept forward, running on minimal power to avoid being heard. Only a few waves lapped against the rocks. The men were deadly silent, staring with stone-like faces at the enemy land.

ooc: Your move tene!

The plan was good. Very good.
It was a blood bath. Vineyardian soldiers lay dead or dying on the arid and dry soil of Spain. The charge on the enemy line was folish, it became apparent that it would be inpenetrable. Vineyardian soldiers, their dark-colored uniforms dusty from all the sand being kicked up by the enemy tanks upwind, keept pressure on the enemy trench. Their commander was dead, killed by a land-mine. Without him, there was no such thing as an orderly retreat. A few Vineyardians began to run. Soo, what was left of the 25,000 man assult force began to limp back. the spainyards cheered and sallied out of their line, chasing the routing troops. The Vineyardians ran into a thin line of trees and dissapeared into tall grass. the spainish, elated from the thrill of an apparent victory, kept going.
The plan was good. Too good.
The line of trees burst into flames, destroying a few spainish tanks and cutting off the spainish infantry from their tanks. 80,000 of the remaining Vineyardians gave a cheer and jumped out of their hiding spots in the tall grass surrounding the spainish infantry. Bayonetts and hand-to-hand combat killed the arrogant enemy infantry after a stupid and fooish last stand by their infantry. Eurofighters screamed into action and annhilated the remaining spainish tanks. it was a stunning victory at a big price.

Losses: 20,000 of Bosnia's finest were killed.
kills: 50,000-60,000 enemy infantry killed. Number unknown due to the raging inferno that ignited the entire tall-grass feild from the explosion.
Tanks killed: 10,000.

OOC: Sharina, let's get this straighted out before the battle continues (Vineyard, that means you don't post attacks in New York either).

http://img122.echo.cx/img122/8003/colonialtrain1ec.png

Black Line = Existing railroad lines in RL
Magneta Line = Sharina planned railroad lines to link to Manitoba

I'll post IC stuff in a bit... I know a lot about railroads and the like, as I'm an railroad buff, and I rode the Lakeshore Limited train between Boston and Rochester / Buffalo over 20 times in RL. I used the train to commute back and forth during my 4 years of college in Rochester.

OOC: The trains stop at Schenectady and Niagrra Falls either way you go. You should know that. :)

(And you forgot the line from New York-Montreal)

OOC: The trains stop at Schenectady and Niagrra Falls either way you go. You should know that. :)

(And you forgot the line from New York-Montreal)

Heh. I couldn't find a good railroad map of New York on Google, so I went by what I could remember. Thanks for the correction. :)

Also, assuming Fod changed railroads or Warlords / Anarchists ruined some railroads, so there will be some reconstruction done.

Godmodding? Read "The Lightning Star Slave Rebellion". Look at how big they are there. That's was their size before we reduced them to comply with the new rules. And Skype doesn't count.

Speaking of Godmodding, how did you get from New Augusta to Buffalo with no logistics?

Where is New Augusta? In Europe?

OOC: Vineyard, let's just forget about Buffalo. It's not worth it for both of us.

EDIT: Augusta is in Maine. That was the orginal landing spot. But I actually don't know if he changed it for the re-do.

Ludo, curious about what is going on (only knowing that Sharina is near Niskayuna), got on the encoded-telephone and called Vineyard.

"Guten Tag. Auf was ist?"

OOC:

Before I go ahead and make my next IC post, I'd like to know something. Vineyard, how exactly did you blow up Glen Falls? Did you use C-4, napalm, or dynamite?

Just wondering, since it would take tons upon tons of explosives to blow up a whole town, or a city.

Napolm, of course. They are our standard artillary shell.

What you might want to do is EMP the city before entering. Just some honest advice.

OOC: Arnt silkworms antiship not ICBM? (if they are ICBM dont even bother to reply. My own ignorance shall speak for itself.)
I don't think so. They were developed by China which didn't have a navy at the time. Unless you count a couple of frigates.

OOC: Vineyard disappeared. Don't know what happened. He appears to have gone verrückt after the deal with Sharina didn't work out, and then threatened to blow up New York and all this stuff.

He's not on Skype.

-Encoded message to Vineyardian FFF troops in NY.-

Operation BIG MISTAKE is to commence. Take NY back from TGSR. He is giving away land to Sharina for free.
Destroy the German force in Buffalo. They do not know what will hit them. We outnumber them more that 2-to-1. The element of suprise and numbers is with us. The pansies shouldn't know what hit them. Burn the city. Leave NONE alive. Flee across the river. Detonate all cities owned. Carve a path out of there. Return home.

PS: Shoot yourselves over capture.
-Lord Vineyard II
OOC: How many wars are you in? I won't go to war with TGSR.

OOC: I'm just going to ignore it before it happens (lucky it didn't start yet). This is too much, and I'm not sure either of us were thinking properly at the time. Consider my soldiers landed at Stratton, not Buffalo.

Vineyard, I want you on Skype!

ooc: I know. I am not going to ask you to. The FFF is a force of 3 undercover armies. Now, what I had done, was given NY to TGSR to escape with those men and to ensure that land didn't fall into Sharina's hands. But, Sharina kept pressing on, promising TGSR to give him Polish Buffalo and Albany, both of which he already had. TGSR, being a dumbass, thought that sharina would stop in a little while. it didn't. Now, TGSR wants me to surrender my army to Sharina so mabye sharina will stop taking TGSR land. But this defeats the entire purpose of giving him NY. If sharina gets any one prisioner, the treaty will be broken and Sharina will have an excuse for war, when i already have one. Not my bloody fault 300,000 "Mercinaries" were stuck there to begin with. Anyhow, i tend to rip the literal heart out of canada during my escape. Of course, it wouldn't be me ripping the heart out of Canada, it will be the FFF.

Anyhow, i feel that Handing land over to Sharina for free is MUCH worse than giving him a fight for it. TGSR wouldn't dare do that however. Might as well make his soldiers Manikans. At least they won't need to be fed.
OOC:

Resorting to name calling because you can't debate? Doesn't work.

Why your message is "inaccurate" (being nice, here):

1. Now, what I had done, was given NY to TGSR to escape with those men and to ensure that land didn't fall into Sharina's hands. No you didn't. You keep saying you did, then we I ask you, you say you don't. Now your saying the first thing you said, which you said was false tonight. FFF "gave" me New York, Vineyard did not. That also is rather impossible as you said their in Buffalo and Albany, which means that all they own is Buffalo and Albany. The rest is rebels which Sharina is fighting, and Fod telegramed me at least two times saying that they are strong forces.

2. I never owned Albany, and never will own Albany.
3. Sharina NEVER said a thing about "Polish Buffalo". Sharina hinted at the "German Section", but nothing more, and there never was a deal yet anyway.

4. TGSR, being a dumbass, thought that sharina would stop in a little while. it didn't. When did I say that? Link? Copy & Paste (even that would do)? I said we need to talk to make sure Sharina knows I got New York, and you go on and on about how I "own" it, even though the FFF doen't (see above).

5. Now, TGSR wants me to surrender my army to Sharina so mabye sharina will stop taking TGSR land. But this defeats the entire purpose of giving him NY. Maybe? If you did it would of. But that does defeat the purpose, which is why I did not say it. I said that you could surrender part of your army and extract the rest, particulary surrendering the new recruits, to make it seemed the FFF surrendered, since there is no accurate number of how many FFF there are. But then I learned they don't know English, so then that's out of the question.

6. Not my bloody fault 300,000 "Mercinaries" were stuck there to begin with. Then who sent them and forgot to teach them English incase they were captured?

Now, perhaps you can authorize me on Skype. We obiviously need to make up lost ties here.

The Serbian Senate also placed a call to Vineyard, on the other line at Vineyard's office was Ludo Hienkel.

"What's up, Croats?! You wanted us to join EATO. We did. Now what? We want to kill people. We haven't done that in a while! Come on!"

;)

300,000 troops, the Proud Army of Hrvatska America, had stood at the ready to attack Julipinos. Then utter chaos broke loose. The Terran gov't of Fod collapsed, leaving a 'Vacume' of land open for the taking. Great American cities were infested with anarchists, practically craving the near-by army of Vineyard to dicipline them. The army, already in New York, captured the nearest city of Schenectady. Finding that to be extreemly boring and run down, they quickly were eager to leave. Albany was swiftly being conquered and Buffalo was under attack. The army split in 2 to cover more ground quicker, but large enough to ensure victory in some form. The armies traveled under disguise, using civilian cars that they 'took possesion of'. Northern New York had surrendered already, seeing the 3 of the 4 great cities fall.

<----- holds his face in his hands and groans to himself.


This keeps getting more and more messy. I planned on invading NY to establish railroad and highway connection between New England and Manitoba, then subsquently Sharina mainlands (West Coast, Latin America, Alaska, etc).

1. Fod collapsed, and I took advantage of that, sending troops over to fight in NY. Subdue rebel forces, and imprison potential terrorists and criminals (who are ex-Fod and might want to continue the "war" aganist Sharina and Julioppines in unconvetional ways).

2. Vineyard attacked Buffalo and north NY with his mercenaries. TGSR fortified his Schenectady city and suburbs, and hell breaks loose.

3. My forces swarm across south-east NY, surrounding NYC and going for New Jersey. They also go for Albany, Utica, Ithaca, etc. IC'ly unaware of TGSR presence in Albany and Schenectady.

4. Vineyard blew up Glens Hill with napalm bombs in a surprise "booby-trap".


At this point, everything gets confused and breaks down. Secret deals, counter-secret deals, godmod accusations, backstabbing, chaotic claims, etc. I am at a complete loss right now.



To simplify things, and make this war thing easy for everyone to follow.

All I know is that I'll continue moving westwards, to annex Buffalo, Rochester, Sycrause, etc. while leaving Albany and Schenectady untouched (giving Schenectady + suburbs to TGSR, as well as allowing TGSR to use Albany Airport). My forces will fight either Fod rebels or Vineyard's mercenaries in Rochester, Buffalo, etc.

After a couple months NS time of fighting, Sharina finishes up annexing New York after taking considerable casaulties, then focuses on other New England states, Ohio, and Philaphedia. New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland should be annexed by then via my New Jersey taskforce (Task Force 4, according to my military deployment post earlier)



Once again, this bickering and "go back-and-forth" stuff going on between Vineyard and TGSR about New York is confusing the hell of me, and certainly other Earth V players as well.

Duke Long looked at the reports, all was going well. The Virginia coast would be hit in another day or two if needed, but much of Southern Virgina had already capitulated. It was West Virginia where the biggest problem on that front would lie. In Michigan, Joe Jackson was pulling his usual "persuasion" Just like Yemen, Illinois and Indianna, the Duke didn't think Michigan would resist too much. The idea of re-uniting Michigan was one the people of the former Fodians of South Michigan would support - Just to make sure of things, 100,000 troops had massed on the border, but he didn't think they would be needed - money talked, especially when Joe Jackson was in charge of negotiations. The Duke really liked his style - "you have choice" the Duke could here him saying to the government leaders. "Take our offer and our money and keep your local power or refuse it and risk a serious "accident" to your family and/or friends." Yep, Joe knew how to word things allright.

ooc: Sorry you are confused. The missing parts were discussed over skype. Here are the major things:

-TGSR wants me to surrender my army to Sharina, therefore breaking the treaty and enabling TGSR to keep NY. This would defeat the entire porpose of em giving him NY, as i did so to stop sharina from conquering it and to allow my troops to escape. With NY in his hands, Sharina will never know ICly that i conquered that land, and the treaty remains in place.

-TGSR is giving away land in my opinion for free. I find that despicable. Now, if I remove him from NY, and claim it for my self, it would have the same effect as giving Sharina my army; he would find out i am there. Now, with NY im MY hands, i could give sharina a fight at least for the territory he is taking. Of course its suicidal to think i can win against those odds, but still.

IC:The FFF troops in Buffalo began to fall back. Apparently TGSR troops ment to destroy them in a freak attack. Although they had given Ny to them, they seemed to want their deaths or they possessed mystical powers that enabled them to know what was going on.

They were surrounded now by sharinians, there was no escape. They occupied the mountains sites around the Albany valley area, digging in.

Stop ignorning my posts.

Perhaps I can quote what you should of read?:

Now, TGSR wants me to surrender my army to Sharina so mabye sharina will stop taking TGSR land. But this defeats the entire purpose of giving him NY.
Maybe? If you did it would of. But that does defeat the purpose, which is why I did not say it. Assuming that FFF owned all of Western New York (which you said was false last night), I said that you could surrender part of your army and extract the rest, particulary surrendering the new recruits, to make it seemed the FFF surrendered, since there is no accurate number of how many FFF there are. But then I learned that you didn't bother to teach them English, so then that's out of the question.

But more importantly, if you stopped insulting me for "letting Sharina take my land", I would of made a much better deal, because you only told me LAST NIGHT, that FFF only owns Buffalo and Albany. I would of let Sharina keep take the prisoners, and gave Sharina the I-88, I-90, I-190, and the CSX and CP rail lines, which would of allowed us to keep three major cities (because Sharina said that what Sharina wants of New York).

enabling TGSR to keep NY[/qoute] I'm not getting "New York". If you call Schenectady "New York", then I guess I have it.

[quote=Vineyard] it would have the same effect as giving Sharina my army; he would find out i am there. Now, with NY im MY hands, i could give sharina a fight at least for the territory he is taking. Of course its suicidal to think i can win against those odds, but still. What is with you calling different cities "New York"? First Schenectdady, now Buffalo and Albany are "New York"? And you bet I'm going to help Sharina fight this "rebel" army if you keep acting like this.

The FFF troops in Buffalo began to fall back. Apparently TGSR troops ment to destroy them in a freak attack. Although they had given Ny to them, they seemed to want their deaths or they possessed mystical powers that enabled them to know what was going on.
1. How did you know? Do you have "mystical powers" that allows you to know when soldiers appear 20 miles east of your soldiers, with your view blocked by thousands of houses and appartments.
2. Again, you don't even read my posts, so why bother to respond to yours? Look:

Now, what I had done, was given NY to TGSR to escape with those men and to ensure that land didn't fall into Sharina's hands.
No you didn't. You keep saying you did, then we I ask you, you say you don't. Now your saying the first thing you said, which you said was false tonight. FFF "gave" me New York, Vineyard did not. That also is rather impossible as you said their in Buffalo and Albany, which means that all they own is Buffalo and Albany. The rest is rebels which Sharina is fighting, and Fod telegramed me at least two times saying that they are strong forces.

OOC: That last part made me think. How did they "blow up" Glens Falls is Fodian Resistance is guarding it, which means they would of gotten a big counteract based on what Fod is saying.

One last thing: AUTHORIZE ME FOR SKYPE! We would of avoided this lengthy agrument if you did last night!

Look at the pictures of the river you choose, first.

That's the only way accross (look at pictures to the North and South that I have posted, too) unless you use the (coincidently named) Peace Bridge, but that would have Sharina guards on the Canadian end.

Here's your crossing point:

OOC: You realize you didn't answer one question, but treated it as though we're debating something. We are NOT debating anything. I was just saying what was happened as you blame me for your problems. All you did was say that you already said (from what's readable) and insult me continously for no reason in that post. You are too scared to talk to me on Skype (which is the only way I will continue that confersation), so you obviously are hiding something.

I don't want to be involved in this war, and that's way I withdrew everything back to Niskayuna yesterday if you bothered to read my posts. We're committed to having a strong alliance, and was intending to have a teleconference with Great Romeo and Vineyard over the future of EATO and how we can help economically.

OOC: Comparing records of what Vinny does in each RP ive seen him take part in
i can now say that this is a classic pattern that he finds very hard to break.

Now come on Vinny give other people a chance without flipping out on them and refusing to even try and understand them.
And don't give me any BS about you giving us lots of chances of making ourselves clear to your benefit, because face it Vinny you dont.

With that over i guess my basic point is can we all just calm down and at least try to understand each other without shouting off and refusing to reason.
Because i know looking back more than half of my arguements with Vinny were due to simple and reletivly stupid misunderstandings.

more than half of my arguements with Vinny were due to simple and reletivly stupid misunderstandings.

That's the problem here. He doesn't understand what I'm saying. Look at my post, and then his. I said his soldiers were in Buffalo and Albany, and wanted to escape. So I said they could escape because Sharina hasn't even battled them yet, and Sharina only wants the forces Sharina is battling. But he, for reasons I cannot understand, believes I meant his forces surrender. Where did I say THAT?

Singapore, Military HQ

The meeting today would be special. Several important points will be discussed. Field Marshall Lao was already there when Air Marshall Brommer and Admiral Cranach walked in. They sat dwon and discussed the latest game of the Singapore Blue Birds (Baseball).

Adm. Cranach:"I swear, I almost freaked out when Solano Debbers hit a homerun. Man, I went wild! My wife thought the navy's budget were up 75% or something..."
Field Marshall Lao:"Ha! It was a nice hit, and it won the game. Surabaja Dodgers were pretty nasty, as always. Where's Hidinski BTW?"
Air Marshall Brommer:"No idea, he...Ah! There he is!"
General Hidinski:"Sorry gentlemen, I'm a official Grand dad now!"
all of them:"Congratulations!"
Brommer:"What's his name?"
Hidinski:"Hildao, nice name."
Lao:"Yes indeed. But let's start the meeting. We're here to discuss the following points:
-collapse of JKD
-Tenbricosis
-Large bases to be constructed
-North America/New England area
-Mauiwowee's civil war

First point-collapse of JKD
The JeetKuneDoian Government has collapsed as we feared, the country is now run by war lords and wealthy drug barons. Air Force has made some reconnaisance missions over Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. We must strike ASAP. Fourth Army is ready to roll, together with Marines and the corps of the first army who were in Malacca due to the Tenebricosis strike."
Gen. Hidinski:"Do we have accurate numbers of resistence?"
Field Marshall Lao:"Well, no. Some groups consist of a few hundred fighter while the largest force is about 30000 under command of Tao Benzui, a Chinese druglord who has moved down from China after Mauiwowee's takeover there. He's currently in Northern Thailand/Laos, in the Golden Triangle."
Adm. Cranach:"Well, I say go. Go now and strike hard and fast."
Air Marshall Brommer:"I agree."
Gen. Hiddinski:"So do I!"
Field Marshall Lao:"The plan is simple as we already made just in case: under cover of airforce the army storms over the Isthmus while Marines land further on the Isthums and near Bangkok. SF, about 12500 will land in the "Golden Triangel" and take out the forces of Mr. Benzui there."
Gen. Hidinski:"Well...should I order a go?"
Lao:"Yes..."

Gen. Hidinski walked out of the meeting room, down a few corridors, down three stairs to the basement. There he took a high speed underground connection railway which linked all the HQ's in Singapore. He left the train and went to the war room. He sat in his chair and opened the intern message system. All the plans and files were there and he uploaded them to the large projector screens. Officers of the Staff were already informed of the plans and knew what to do. The whole war engine would roll smoothly in three hours.

Meanwhile a quick reaction force of the Special Forces, 1500 strong, had taken of in a fleet of C5 Galaxies. They would land as a forward force for the rest of the SF's. They would follow in 45 minutes.

ooc. As I already said in the main thread, JKD has been deleted...

Secret IC:

Adolf Gorreing knew he had a challenge. He was good at negotiations, holding a Doctorate from Hienkel City University in International Relations, and fluent in Croatian, but he wasn't used to dealing with tempermental Lord Vineyard I, or even II.

He sent the request by text this time, since Ludo's telephone call wasn't getting through, and Ludo is better liked by Vineyard than him.

Lord Vineyard the Second,

We are most displeased by the situation in New York, and will be more than happy to pay reparations for six months, in a sector of your choice.

Truely Yours,

After the collapse of the JeetKune Do government, Ato-saran military units began to mobilise, to come in and keep the peace in the area.
The sixth Mechinized Infantry prepared to cross into Laos and the first Guard readied their transports to sail up the Mekong to Phnom Penh the capitol of Cambodia.
All over these two countries the same message was broadcast.

---------------
From the Empire of Ato-sara, to the people of Laos and Cambodia.
We have long been an ally of yours and now that your government has collapsed we wish to help once more. Our troops are readying to ove in and keep the peace untill a new government is set up or if you wish to join the empire we will accomodate that as well. We hope that the good relations between our two peoples can continue in whatever shape or form.

Sincerely, Emperor Kim Te Se of Ato-Sara

OOC: Anyone want to RP a reply?

Message TO the Government of Ato-Sara

Dear ally,

It is good to see that you also join the mission to pacify SE Asia after the collapse of JeetKuneDo. Are we right that your intentios go towards Laos and Cambodia? Our units are currently in progress of pacifying Thailand. SF will operate in Northern Thailand and Laos, so if you can give support to the troops in Laos with close range Air Support as you are in a better position to give it. We eagerly await your reply.

Field Marshall Lao

Meanwhile, in Northern Thailand

The first 1500 paratroopers had landed in the open spaces of the mountainous jungle terrain of Northen Thailand. The units were busy with clearing LZ's and setting up defences. The next wave of 8500 will arrive in 25 minutes.

Sgt.:"Sir! A-Company has set up North of LZ Albion. B-Company is busy with digging trenches along the Main Road 400 meters away."
Col.:"Al right. What about C-Company?"
Sgt:"C-Company has set out for the nearby village, Maechan. A Regiment of Charlie's is camped in the ville. No doubt they'll move in after reports of men falling from the sky. I would check out if I was Charlie Chief!"
Col.:"Well, let's hope he won't till we're all here. 234th Reg. has dropped on the other side? Laos I mean?"
Sgt.:"We established contact yes."
Col.:"Ok, we'll see, we'll see..."

General Jack Xi ripped the fax out as it reeled off the machine. Scanning it quickly he dictated a reply.

To: Field Marshell Lao

We are indeed in the process of securing Laos and Cambodia. Our intel has identified the main rebel stronghold at Muang Pakbeng. As for airsupport we can get acouple of B-52s and a H-6U tanker within in striking distance in about fifteen minutes. Please send a message when needed

Sincerely,
General Jack Xi

After sending the message he turned to his control desk and hit the alert button for the bomber wing at Kon Tum. At the airbase planes where rushed to be preped and the huge aircraft were whelled out onto the tarmac in the pourinf summer rain.

OOC: Wo ist Weinburg?!

Ludo Hienkel truely was angry. He had his chance for a war, something he has been dreaming about for months, but it got screwed up.

So, he sent the Sixth Assault Force in Niskayuna a encoded-message:

Whittier is interested in assisting your efforts in return for the cities of Macau and Shanghai.

The Mayor of Detroit was nervous - the life of his family was on the line and he knew it. He had heard rumors of Norleans' "art of negotiation," but he had never experienced it first hand. - 5 men, 2 in business suits, including this "Joe Jackson" fellow invading his home - threatening his elderly mother-in-law that lived with them and his wife if he didn't capitulate, but an offer of $1,250,000.00 to pay of campaign debts and the ability to remain as the elected mayor if he accepted the offer. Knowing Michigan was surrounded and troops were massed for an invasion if need be - ships in the great lakes ready to attack on a moment's notice, and Norleans Birds of Prey aircraft - they'd wipe out any ground force that Michigan could hope to put together from the remains of Fod's army - bahh, Fod, folding under corporate bullshit pressure - Never understanding people were people, but now, Norleans, understanding all to well that very thing. Michigan would certainly fall to someone - it could not exist independantly in this day and age, surrounded by Norleans, Sharina and looming total anarchy in Pennsylvania - no, Joe Jackson was correct - it was in the best interests of the people of Michigan to agree to Norleans reign and the re-unification of all of Michigan, god knew it was in the best interests of Mayor Halley. He would go through with the news conference and do what he could to assist Norleans, it made sense, in a weird way. It was just that it felt so, well, ickey. He would invite Norleans personnel into Detroit at the news conference.

OOC: since the message to Warta and Ato was encrypted, you wouldn't know about it. However, for the sake of going forward and not getting bogged down in details, I'll assume some how or other you got your hands on a copy of it.

Dear sirs:

We appreciate you offer of assistance. However, we have the situation under control. Trade and commerce with us in those areas is open though and negotiations regarding naval access for your military as a port of call are ideas we are open to though.

I'm directing the entire 150,000 man Guangzhou force to encircle the land area. Nothing goes in or out - Communications will be cut. All road and rail service terminated. People attempting to "sneak" out will be shot on sight. People presenting themselves to checkpoints asking for permission to leave will be offered the choice to return to Hong Kong or be killed on the spot. People attempting to enter will be turned back or killed if they attempt to run the blockade. Radio propaganda demanding surrender will be broadcast 24/7 on our frequency and all other frequencies will be jammed. We're gonna starve 'em out. Like most huge urban areas, with no commerce, they are less than a month away, at most, before they start killing each other, by then they'll surrender or we'll move in. For now - it's a full blown seige."

Speaking of Mid east, what's up with Vineyard. Is he still here? I saw him post that he quit but was that another spat from him or something?

OOC: I would assume it was a temper tantrum for the time being. btw, I'm working on the Oceana map - did TG6R recognize Vanuatu as yours (I seem to recall you invaded it.) Oh and as I recall from the Zifos threads, you were going to invade Fiji and I sent troops to assist you there from my bases in Tonga. Are going forward with that - if not, I'll just take it myself.

OOC: Yes he did. As for Fiji, I have continued the thread here on NS, with a link to the original one on Zifos. I am going forward with invading Fiji and have landed troops on the islands. My last fleet I sent to the area is headed direct for American Samoa, Niue, and Wake Island.
I have 500 troops on Fiji. That's the most I could afford to send at the time with each transport being able to hold only a hundred troops or something like that.
I have 1500 more in the area. 500 each for AS, Niue, and Wake Island.

As you do Fiji, feel free to assume you have 5,000 Mauiwoweean troops and equipment at your disposal - air raids from Tonga (50 total fighters there) can be run at your desire as well.

thanks. Has anyone claimed or invaded the phillipines yet? If not, I would like to. And split it between myself and friendly nations.

thanks. Has anyone claimed or invaded the phillipines yet? If not, I would like to. And split it between myself and friendly nations.

Due to the collapse of JeetKuneDo the Phillipines are open. I'd be willing to assist you in taking it and can devote 125,000 men and 3 carrier groups to the conquest. I'd want the Mindanao and Palawan islands with "control" over the Sulu Sea

http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/islands_oceans_poles/philippines.gif

My proposal then:
A joint invasion of the Phillipines divided:
Mauiwoee= Mindanao and Palawan to include Balabac island just to the south of Palawan.
Whittier= Luzon, Mindoro, Pollilo, Samar, Leyte, and the other Visayan Islands.
Warta Endor (if he helps)= the sulu archipelago
Vineyard (whenever he comes back and if he chooses to assist)=Batan Islands and Catanduanes Island.
TGSR (if he contributes aid)=Babuyan Islands

Course, there would probably be a cessation of hostilities to the war in north america. This could help in that direction.

Edit: The islands of Mambajao, Pilar, and Dinagat would be under international control and no military forces would allowed on them.

ooc. looks like a good plan, though Vineyard is very busy (inactive lately too) and his nearest territory is the middle east. I'll join in anyway but I would appreciate it if Warta Endor gets more than a few Islands...

Damn, I should be diplomat!

Maechan, Northern Thailand

The 120 men of C-Company were near the village. They were extremely cautious for a force of 3000 should be in the area. They had orers which were clear: occupy the village and hold it untill reinforcements would arrive. The men were extremly well trained for this type of Warfare. Stalk around the jungle, set up defensive positions, ambush etc.

Pointman(PM):"We're at the ville, sir."
Lt.:"Ok, move in and check the houses. E squad go to the otherside of the ville and set up a screen there. C and D will reinfoce you once ready with the search. Tung! (the PM) translate that the village is now officially Warta Endorian. Dangobono, we can radio Ato Saran forces for support. We should have a couple of F16I ready in 10 minutes and also a few B52, their call sign is High Bird. Ato Saran is East Bird."
Dangobono:"Yes sir!"

The men walked in the ville and ten minutes later the village was secure.Everything seemed to be alright and soon another 360 men reinforced the position. Even a lightweight APC and 3 mortar companies had arrived. The men were well set in and engineering was busy constructing a runway on a flat piece of grassland. But suddenly...

Pvt. 1: "Damnit! Is that Charlie?"
Pvt. 2:"Fuck it! They are bandits! Warn the Lt. and mortars!"
Pvt. 1:"This is 22 Bunker, charlie spotted on position A6-G2. Request to open fire."
Lt.:"Request granted. Open fire over."
Pvt. 1:"Roger that sir. Bunker 22 to mortar command. Request barrage on A6-G2, over."
Mortar Command:"Copy that, barrage on A6-G2, over."
Pvt. 1:"Roger, request barrage on A6-G2, over."
Mortar Command:"Its on the way, over."
Pvt. 1:"Roger, over."

swooooooooosh BOOOOOM BOOOOOOOOOM BOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The sixth mechinized inafntry made it quickly over the friendship bridge into Laos. On the otherside they were greeted by a scattering of RPG shots before before calling co-ordianted airstrikes from the circling super flankers. Making their way up a main highway thay came across the city of Xam Tua which after a series of closequarter firefights with rebel troops was taken.

The Jade guard regiment moving up the Mekong was set upon by stolen JKD military helicopter. These were greeted with Type-88 fire and they quickly tuenred tail and ran. When they arrived a Phnom Penh they found a desparte fight between rebel fighters and local law enforcement officials. Getting staight to work the guardsmen laid down a withering hail of supporting fire while the tanks were unloaded onto the quay. Advancing quickly they fought their way into the governmental adminstrtive building and set up a coomand post while the rest of the ciy was purged with the help of the local SWAT teams.


Over northern Laos a squadron of B-52s (five + H-6U tanker) waited on station for calls of support from allied troops.

At the military complex in Ho Chi Minh city Admiral Jia Long poured over maps of intell showing where rebel troop movements were.

OOC:

I've been feeling quite ill today and yesterday.

When I read the latest posts here, both IC and OOC, I'm ready to go nuts again. Vineyard quitting, TGSR moving troops to Iceland, etc.


Here's what needs to "go down" or so to speak...

1. Sharina finishes annexing New York.
2. Sharina gives Schenectady and suburbs to TGSR.
3. Sharina finishes fighting Vineyard mercenaries and Fod troops.
4. TGSR starts invasion of Iceland.
5. Sharina continues its campaign in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, etc.

Thus, if we do this, we will "cut out" the whole mess, without problems. Things will be neat, clean, and easy to follow. No messy crap.

Mauiwowee, I don't think I can RP the thing we discussed over AIM today, as I'm feeling ill. I can try to RP it tomorrow or Tuesday, if I feel better by then.

TG6R Note: Vineyard's taking a break for NS for awhile (two weeks estimated). As one of the most active members of Earth V, he certainly needs one.

"What's up, stupid Serbs? It's a good think you joined EATO, or we'd nuke you and blow up all your houses! Now, you better start helping us in our war against USFR, or we'll do just that!"

The 2nd battalion* of the 6th mechinized inafntry regiment raced along the main highway to Vientienne. Hoping toi get to the Laosian capital without taking too much fire.

The Jade guard regiment that had captured the city of Phnom Penh in Cambodia now began to fortify it around the main in roads and sent several search and destroy teams to deal with insurgents in the northern villages.

In Ho Chi Minh General Jack Xi stared in horror at the piece of intel he had just been handed. An old threat had resurfaced and he knew that the fighting in Cambodia and Laos could now only get worse.
The air reconnisance photo taken from a low flying B-52 showed a camoflaged camp. In it several purple AH-64 Apache attack helicopter sat motionless on the beaten dirt LZ, they squatted like great purple bugs just waiting to leap into the air. On a flag flying above the camp showed clearly a pictiuure that sent a shiver down men's spines. This picture consisted of a crudely drawn purple dinosaur under which if enlarged the text read the words
'I love you, you love me we're one big happy family'.
This picture was quickly forwarded to Warta-Endoran analysists for more infomation.

*(A Regiment in the army is devided into four battilions, a mechnized infantry battilion is composed of the following;
1,260- FASA Troopers

TO: Ato Sara & Warta Endor:

Dear Sirs:

You should be aware, Mauiwowee police and immigration officials in S.E. China have captured 4 people, identified as members of the Cult of Barney, attempting to sneak through a checkpoint in the Greater Wall of China on the Laotian/Chinese border. The 4 suspects were hidden in a truck full of chickens that was headed out of Laos to the city of Cunming in Mauiwoweean controlled China on a seemingly innocous mission to deliver chickens to a processing plant as part of contract with a chicken rancher in northen Laos. We are currently interrogating the prisoners now, but knowing you are engaged in military operations in Laos, we wanted to make you aware of the fact there is apparantly a Cult of Barney presence in Laos and offer you the chance to send your own team of interrogators to speak with the 4 captured men. Also, our offer to allow you the use of bases in SE China to assist in your efforts in Laos and Cambodia still stands.

Sincerely,
Gen. Jack T. Ripper,
Mauiwowee

OOC:

We thank you for informing us of the possible entry of Cultists. We would like to "interrogate" the men after you are finished. We have some very efficient ways to interrogate.
As for your offer, we would like to send 45 F16I's to support our Special Forces in Laos and Thailand.

The Sixth Assault Force, after refueling their Airbus A380-Gs and A380-Hs, and adding heavy armor plateing, a parachute landing system, and thirty reverse rocket thrusters to each aircraft at Stratton Air Nation Guard Base in Scotia, were finally over Reykjavik Airport in Iceland. The first plane, loaded with three FA-29K tanks and 100 Special Force, was going to land at the airport, closed down due to anarachy.

http://img92.echo.cx/img92/3659/rkv3ru.jpg

The plane encountered scattered gunfire from the ground which bounced off the armor platteing, but landed successfully and fired off all the reverse rocket thrusters and the parachute to stop safely at the end of the runway. At this moment, the soldiers on the Airbus A380s started parachuting into the airport as well. On the aircraft on the ground, the armor plated door was dropped down, and the three FA-29K tanks immiedately burst out of the aircraft onto the runway at full speed. One RPG was lauched from a resistance force militaman, missing the tanks, but prompting the laucher to be blasted by the heavy cannons of three tanks. The rest of the militamen with AK-47s was no match for elite trained tank crew with state-of-the-art tanks. The airport runways were opened when the militiamen were all down at the airport and the aircraft moved from the end of the runway. Then the rest of the airplanes landed with the reverse rocket thrusters and parachutes within midnight night. By that time, a solid perimater had been established, and contact with Ludo established via connection with the communication center at the ultra-secret mountain base in Bavaria. Naval assistance was inbound.

OOC: Anybody up for Earth V Olmypics?

The carriers headed out of Micronesia to Digos and Davao on the island of Mindanao in the Phillipines. Sub-fighters cruised in front with their super cav torpedoes at the ready to clear the way. Once these two cities were under Mauiwowee's control, rail transport to the rest of the island for the troops would be secure and the ability to effectively neutralize any resistance would be assured. The conquest of the Phillipines was underway. Whittier's forces and Warta Endors were likely to be arriving about the same time as Mauiwowee's and it would a conquest they would all be able to take pride in as a unifying measure of commitment to the safety of the Pacific for them all.
**************************************
On the Brazilian/Venezualan border the troops had begun their advance. Small pockets of resistance had been encountered, but nothing serious. Generally they appeared to be small "tribes" of people that would have likely attempted resistance to the former government of Fodmodmadtol had they sent their own troops into the area - warlords in the jungles who didn't like the idea of any government telling them what to do. Almost 100 resistance fighters had been killed, captured or wounded while only 2 Mauiwoweean solders had been killed and only 8 wounded. However, one of the Ferrets had been lost when a grenade happened to hit the blow up in just the right spot to wipe out it's transmission. It could be repaired, but in the interests of speed, it had been decided to leave it behind for the rear line supply troops to deal with.

OOC: Since Blue Thunder was really just an exercise and the war never happened I have forces available via my C141's but I need a couple of refueling stations for them to stop at on the way to the Phillipines.

Sieung Li ASIA Interrogation agent cult of barney division stepped off of the hind attack helicopter that had just hopped over the Greater wall of china, and looked around at the Mauiwowee detention centre and smiled. In his suit case he carried the tools of his trade, a huge variety of chemicals wall with different effects on the human mind and body all fesh of the artificial growing factories in Taiwan.
The helicopter took off and Siueng Li motioned to an officer to take him inside out of the rain.

The helicopter took off and Siueng Li motioned to an officer to take him inside out of the rain.

"Mr. Li, welcome to Cumning" said Major Syncs as he escorted the Ato-Sarain interrogator out of the drenching rain. "Let me show you to your quarters first so you can get settled in. Our interrogators are anxious to meet with you and discuss what they have learned. However, we understand you are likely to be impatient to get to work yourself. Rest assured, you'll have that opportunity before the day is out."

Sieung Li thanked the major and was escorted to his quarters. After opening his case and checking the contents he replaced all the multicoloured vials into their proper places and locked the case again.
Mr.Li walked back outside to the major and told him he was ready to meet the other interrogators.

----------------
Back in Phnom Penh private Juo Tai of the 3rd Jade Gaurds climbed into the hind as it began to lift off on it's search and destroy mission. Even though it was pouring with rain they kept the side hatches open because it was stifling hot in the troop cabin. In the front of the cabin just before the pilot's compartment a large speaker and sound system sat on the stainless steel deck. Lieutenant Ho crossed the deck from his seat and pressed a button on the system. Private Juo looked quizzically at his senior officer. The lieutenant smiled and waited while the speakers began to power up.
"It scares the hell out of them" Understanding Private Juo accepted this explanantion and resumed his task of watching out of the open hatch.
Just as he had started to relax the speakers blared out a steady beat and the helicopter started to descend rapidly heading straight for a village where small arms fire was already begining to pepper the sky.
The speakers carried on, drowning out even the gunfire.
"The white man came,
Across the sea,
He brought us pain and misery..."
On and on the music continued, as the Gaurdsmen jumped from their hovering gunships and spread out firing in unified bursts.
The Hind with the speakers in flew low of the village, its chain guns firing ina line of death towards a purple jeep with a 50.cal on the back.
"Run to the hills!
Run for your lives!"
And they did, the Barny cultists ran screaming into the forets and surrounding rice paddies where they were mown down mercilessly by a wall of lead being spewn forth by the Hinds' chain guns.
After the carnage was over, the Lieutenant took a field radio and called his commander in the city.
" Mission accomplished sir Barney cultists have been destroyed and casulties are minimal."
In the back ground General Huo Fai on the other end of the call could just hear a last line of Run to the hills!! Run for your lives!! before the phone cut out.

OOC: Hey Maui, Warta should i make a new thread for this pacfication of former JKD territory

OOC: I've finished my army, still got my navy, air force, and special forces to go. All military information can be found here (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/UNIverseVERSE).

ooc. Good idea Ato. It would make things a bit more easier to look up.

A Flight of 7 C5 Galaxies flew high over Vietnam (Thailand, Cambodia and Laos are too dangerous) on their way to Chunming. Four of them were loaded with 11 F16I (wings taken of and that kind of stuff) while another held one other F16I, 110 ground crew and 90 pilots. Yet another one was entirely filled up with Ground crew (300, making a total of 500 for the first few flights, more will come later together with Ammo, choppers and some other stuff) while the last one was reserved for “the Intel fella’s”. Twenty men and enough brutal equipment to make a mediaeval torturer shiver. They would interrogate the cultists and they had the order to “extract information, no matter what the cost. If it will claim the lives of the cultists, it’s not important.” Intel and HQ really had freaked out when they got the information about a possible incursion by Barney’s in Thailand and the finding of a large group of Apache’s in Laos.

Field Marshall Lao:” Those f*cking choppers can kill our boys up there! The main force has enough protection but SF is AA weak! A few fucking RPG’s, that’s it!”
Air Marshall Brommer:”F16I Are being sent to support our guys up there. No worries when they’re there!”
Field Marshall Lao:” But they are not fucking there yet!”
Gen. Hidinski:” Well, trust our SF. They know perfectly well what to do.”
Field Marshall Lao:” I hope so. Any updates from the main front?”
Gen. Hidinski:” Marines have left port while the main force is 240 km south of Bangkok, near Hua Hin. Resistance is weak and only sporadic. It looks like the war lords have joined forces near Bangkok. They call themselves the “Siam Liberation Front”. Intel says that they could have contact with the cult. The incursion has shown us that the cult has interest in the area.”
Field Marshall Lao:” Well, I damn hate the f*ckers. I thought we had exterminated them.”
Hidinski:” We did. But apparently they’re like roaches. Impossible to be killed.”
Field Marshall Lao:” Damn it. The news hasn’t been kind to me. Let’s hope it’ll improve.”

Ooc. This is just the beginning of the “darker” side of friendly Warta Endor. And excuse me for the language of Lao. He’s a bit stressed ;)

"Sir - Davao bay has unfriendlies" Said the commuications officer.

"What, really? Who?" replied the captain of the Mauiwowee carrier Rio.

"You won't believe it sir, but the sub fighters are reporting a purple carrier - CoB (Cult of Barney) presence."

"Hot damn, we found the Carrier's hideout!" said the Captain.

"It would appear so Captain, But that makes things 'nasty' as the civvies would say."

"Fuck it, tell the sub-fighter to attack at will."

"Already done under the Queen's general order 34 sir" said the communications officer.

"Good, get the planes up then, lets make it all out."

Whittier is formally requesting refueling privileges in India, Burma, and southeast CHina from the governments of Wirraway and Mauiwowee.
A total of 100 C141's, each carrying 200 troops, will be involved. Their final destination will be Luzon island. A total of about 20,000 troops will be involved in the operation. Once the troops are dropped they will return to Iran via the same route and 50 will go back to Luzon with supplies and logistics personnel.

OOC: I need some troop ships.

"Colonel Springer here, transmission secure - go Alpha."

"Colonel - you have a 'go' code - status red - general order 34"

"Thank you sir -see you top side"

With that exchange the blue-green lasers created a communications spider web in the ocean and the sub fighter's moved in on the purple carrier.

"In range - firing" said 4 sub fighters, more or less at the same time. "look at that baby go!!" cried out one sub-fighter pilot as he watched one of his torpedoes literally fly under water towards the CoB carrier.

"Dammit - they got us - Depth charges coming in!!" Said one right after releasing his torpedos.

"Hit!! another, damn, another, yet again!!! Fuckin' -A, they lose!!!" pronounced one.

:::WHAMP!! ::: was all that came from one sub fighter as his canopy collpased..
***************************************
"We're in trouble sir."

"I know pilot, and I love you, you're my best friend. I have some chocolate chip cookies here for when we land." said the CoB's mission commander.

::: WHOMP! ::: the sound of the carrier exploding the bay could be heard by the pilots as they left her deck.

"Now what?" Said one of the pilots.

"Freedom said the squadron commander, freedom!! that is what! Escape from an oppressive world that seeks limit us in our claim to love all. Freedom from a world that claims Barney is Satan and uses merely his name and its meaning of "son of the devil" to prove their case. "

With that, knowing their carrier was sunk, but believing in their divine mission the planes received their orders and directions. Soon, hell on earth would errupt. They would likely never see the light of day, but those who opposed barney would glow in the dark before they were done and the loyalists on the ground would shoot them in the dark. Bottom line - religious fanatics had "the bomb" and the were going to use it.

"We've got incoming planes sir" said the radar operator "50 or so."

"Ok, scamble the fighters - looks like Caracas is going to put up a fight" said the captain.

::: WHAM! :::: The missile hit the destroyer

rat-a-tat-tat when the AA guns as they fired

"Mayday, Mayday - ditching!! Tango 1"

"Take that you bastard!"

::: WHOMP! :::

The Union of People's Republics, prepares to send troops to the Philipines today, as troops began loading on to C141 troop carriers. Each plane will carry 200 fully loaded troops.
About 2,400 miles out from Iran, the C141's will be refueled in midair by KC 130 refuelers. From the refuel point the C141's will travel an additional 710 miles to Kunming, China which is under Mauiwowee soveriignty. The troops and air crews will rest there for a 2 days, then proceed the remaining 1,387 miles to Manila on the island of Luzon. Total Troop deployement will be 20,000 with more to follow.
As the planes prepare to leave, the UPR again puts out a request for the use of Kunming airfield for refueling and a rest stop for our forces. The UPR offers to pay the Mauiwowee govt up to 20 million dollars for the use of Kunming for each day our forces are laid over there.
There will be 4 sorties, so we are offering a total of 160 million dollars.

20 billion dollars has been allocated for the purpose of building an air and naval station in Vanuatu and an additional 15 billion has been allocated to construct a ship building facility in Grenada.

You may wish to speak to them as well as our forces which have already begun their invasion of the south of the Phillipines has met CoB based resistance - including the missing aircraft carrier (which they have managed to sink).

"Colonel, we don't have enough fuel to make it very far" Said CoB member and escort fighter pilot, Major Libby Prazo "but I love you anyway, are you still my friend?"

"Yes Major, I'm still you friend, we have enough fuel to make it to Maluku in the Mauiwowee controlled Halmera island group - dead center of Warta Endor territory - That is where we are headed."

"With that the 2 CoB planes veered away from the battle of the Purple Carrier as it would be known and set their course - barely 1 1/2 hours later, the city of Maluku errupted in an enourmous fireball as the city was converted to a radioactive waste land - The CoB had shown they didn't love everyone by loosing 40 Megatons of radio-active Death. Over 80,000 people died in the first 24 hours.

We'd prefer if your representatives land at Hienkel City International (also the only airport where supersonic jets are allowed if you plan on taking one)and take the high-speed train to Bavaria, in that case. The Munich International Airport will be mobbed with civilians on that day wanting to get to the games. We'll meet your representatives at Gate VIP3, and escort them to the games if you do that.

"Hello men and women of Mauiwowee, this is Asus Norton, you SidTV Live at 5 reporter. Our lead story tonight is one of sadness and death. For the second time in her history, Mauiwowee territory has been devastated by a nuclear weapon. Earlier this morning, at about 11:30 a.m. Sydney time, a nuclear bomb, with an estimated 40 megaton yield was denotated over the island of Maluku in the Mauiwoweean owned Halmahera Island group in Indonesia. Current estimates are that at least 60,000 people are dead at this time and that count is increasing by the minute. Experts estimate that by the time the full effects are known, well over 400,000 people will die direct as a result of the attack.

What's worse, the attack was not like the last time - when a spiteful, war-mongering Vineyard attacked Mauiwowee's lands in the Marshall Islands in retaliation for Mauiwowee's attempt to defend itself and its interests from an invading army and navy. Rather, this attack was carried out by the crazed, religious fanatics of the Cult of Barney. Apparently, at about the same time as Mauiwoweean forces arrived in the Southern Phillipines Islands to restore order after the collapse of JeetKuneDo's government, one of our own, stolen, Head Rush Bombers, outfitted as not much more than a flying nuclear bomb - similar to Vineyard's silver bullets - but with much greather range; accompanied by a single, stolen JeetKuneDo F/22A Raptor fighter took off from the island. As our ships entered the bay, they tracked them leaving but were instantly engaged by the Cult of Barney extremists who were using the Carrier they had stolen last year from New Zealand. Now painted that horrendous "Barney Purple" the battle lasted several hours - our forces were succesful, but the bomber and it's escort escaped to wreak the havov we now face. An investigation has been launched into possible failings, but our own military experts generally agree that the Mauiwoweean forces and their commanders in the area will be cleared of wrongdoing in the matter.

In this map of the area, you can see where the Battle of the Purple Carrier took place, the route of the attackers and location of the bomb's detonation as well as, what is of concern now, the direction in which wind drift is carrying the fallout. Clean up efforts are underway and Medical and other aid from the all over Mauiwowee is being shipped out as fast as possible. Special teams, who have been in the Marshall Islands at the Radioactive Medicine Research Facility there arrived in the area within 3 hours of the blast and have begun using their special expertise in dealing with the aftermath of the attack. A second team is preparing to travel either to the area to support the first, or to Warta Endor if they so request to deal with the consequences of the fallout.

We here at SidTV will keep you updated as news develops."

The Union of People's Republics expresses its sympathies for the people of your islands. We offer to send clean up teams, radiation medics, and 25 billion dollars in humanitarian.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled program to bring you a special report.

WNN:
Just moments ago, we got word of an earthquake in Fiji. According to witness on the ground the quake lasted 15 seconds and there no estimates of damages or casualties as of yet. We are still waiting for our correspondents on the ground. We will return when we have live footage of the area.
According to the Tehran Geological Institute, there has been seismic activity on the island of Fiji on the scale of 8.5. All electrical power on the island has been knocked out and numerous people are said to be missing.
Police report that hundreds of dead bodies are being found beneath trees and slabs of concrete.

OOC:

I'll probably resume RP'ing here this week, or this weekend at the latest.

Its just that after I recovered from my illness last week, the whole CTP thing and the huge dogpiles on him happened. That made me lose considerable RP'ing enthuasism for NS.

But fear not, I won't abandon Earth V, as I promised a loooooong time ago. Earth V was the first "Earth" I joined, and I intend to stick with Earth V until the end.

OOC: This is who I'm RPing at the moment:
The PNLA (Philippines National Liberation Army) fight in troops of roughly 30. All carry a FN Five-seveN, and the group has one 81mm mortar, 3 Jeeps, fitted with FN Minimi's (rebored to 5.7mm). The group has 2 more rebored Minimis, and 2 men are armed with FN FALs. All the rest carry FN P90s.

The PNLA has approximately 100 of these troops, spread out across the Philippines. They have spread themselves across the islands in relation to the islands size (so there are more on Luzon than on Mindanao).

They are not utterly fanatical, and will retreat when it is the prudent thing to do. They are experts in jungle craft, and in the setting of traps and ambushes, although they tend to avoid a straight up fight.

IC:

The PNLA was quite badly hit by the attack, losing troops it could ill afford to lose. They had lost their troop on Malaku, and two troops on the northern edge of the Halmahera Islands. What's more, half a dozen troops had been hit by the fallout, and would probably die.

In light of this, the PNLA stepped up their campaign of guerrila warfare on the Cult of Barney, killing about a hundred across the Philippines, at a cost of a couple dozen men. They then vanished into the jungle again, preparing for their next strike.

OOC: Is that all? They just killed a hundred of them? How about a descriptive report on one of the battles?

"Sir, you should see this" said intelligence briefing officer Herman "Pee-Wee" Reubens to General Jack T. Ripper, Commander-in-Chief of the Mauiwowee Military (for now anyway).

"What is it Pee-Wee" said General Ripper - He liked Herman and knew he was trustworthy - he was actually one of the few who knew about Rox and the plans to overthrow the Black Queen and install 'Lude's son on the throne. So if Pee-Wee said he should see it, it must be important.

"Apparently, at least 2 of the CoB (Cult of Barney) prisoners we have been interrogating in Cumning in South East China have indicated they are at war (so to speak) with the PNLA (Phillipines National Liberation Army). They also indicate they knew a nuclear attack was coming, but they did not know where or how. I think that is likely true since our men in the field are fairly well convinced the prisoners were being truthful when they said they didn't know where the carrier was. They were Vietnamese and Laos based operatives and not all that high up in the ranks - so to speak. One of them is apparently even a member of the sub-group - The Church of Baby Bop."

"Hmm, so they oppose the PNLA - who may or may not oppose us as we advance in the Phillipines. What is it they say Pee-Wee? The enemy of my enemy is my friend? I'm not so sure I want to strike a deal with the PNLA, but better them than the devil, or a purple dinosaur, without a doubt. Find out what you can about the PNLA - make it a priority and see if we can find a way to make contact with them - maybe we can find a way to include them in our plans for the Phillipines. There is clearly no love lost between them and the CoB and I want the CoB destroyed in this area of the world - fucking terrorist assholes!"

"I'm on it Jack. I'll let you know what I find out in the morning."

"Thanks Pee-Wee, I'll see ya' later, I've got to get this evening's briefing for the queen together - Oh, yeah, one last thing, try to contact that nimrod governor we have in Brazil and see what's up with the invasion of Venezuala and the oil supply - Queen Harriet (and to himself - in his mind and unspoken - 'The Bitch murdering queen') wants an update soon."

"Got it. Have fun with the Black Queen" said Pee-Wee as he left, with a knowing smile and glint of conspiracy in his eyes.

OOC: Hive Primus - could you post some sort of RP that lets me get the info I need for Maui to contact you in the Phillipines? When I started the RP of the conquest of the Phillipines, it was vacant and you weren't on the scene, but the CoB has been around a while on Earth V - they seemed like logical resistors. I like the idea of the "tug of war" between you, me and the CoB in the Phillipines though. Should make for a nice round of RP's for conquest and get you some earth V land if you do it right. Thanks.
