Message to the world (execpt AMF)
from the nation of CTP

We have been violently attacked though no fault of our own by an imperialistic madman we ask for your aid in any way necessary in the defence of our nation will you answer our call or will you remain silent giving evil a breeding ground like someone once said “all even needs to win is for the good to do nothing”

You do realize that I'm still about a day away from your land, right? I haven't attacked yet.

OOC Comment:

I am bricking it. This is my first proper combat and my first proper war.

I have no dislike for you, AMF. In fact, I have respect and fear, to an extent. I hope I won't lose, but it's likely. It shoudl be interesting to see how long I last. Good luck!

Thank you good sir! Anyways, if you're nation was about to be stomped into dust wouldnt you start asking for help as soon as possible?

And to Kazakhstania: There is no way in hell you're going to get that many men mobilized that quickly. Go back and rp it correctly.

Another thing; this helped in the Earth II WW so I think it would help here. I suggest all forces participating in the conflict post any military personel(including logistics) in this thread to prevent god modding accusations. This will also make losses easier to keep track of.

I have a five million man army. I have 100,000 paratrooper as my QRF.

The remaining 350,000 are being delivered in dribs and drabs, depending on who was most ready.

Im not having half a million men arriving in a day.

Also, mobilisation time for me is minimal. A day on NS is about a minute.

CTP's missile base launched 25 conventional archers at the fleets and fired 15 napalm archers at AMF's command where the signal for surrender was sent

My mainland is thousands of miles away from yours. These missiles would splash into the sea before ever making it.

This is true if these missiles were using cruise missile tech, but if they were ICBM's then they could theoretically have ranges of 10,000+ miles like in RL.

I hope you don't mind if I do a little electronic warfare here [unless CTP gives back my equipment], it'd help whoever was invading and allow us to electronically disable our equipment we've sold to him?

At the most heated point, and if things move this way, we'll at most have a few thousand (probably around twenty thousand) Marines and special forces to ensure the safe capture and return of Soviet Bloc equipment and weaponry. They can assist in efforts if needed, but I doubt it, they'll likely get our stuff and then sail away.

True, but he's launching conventional missiles at a fleet that is a day's sail away, and napalm missiles at me mainland which is even further away. He can do it if he wants, but it's a terrible waste.

Intercontinental conventional missiles? What is the point in that? Having conventional ICBM's is a waste, and besides if these things really are conventional ICBM's, my people wouldn't know the difference and would retalliate with a full nuclear arsenal. I don't think you'd like HOUND V2's raining down on your land.

Uhmm... this is getting quite crazy.

CTP claims he never invaded FC, using "Time" to cancel invasions and his involvement with FC.

Now several of his allies were helping him aganist FC, and now by all logic, CTP's "Time" thing cancels all allied support as well (allied aganist FC). Thus, his only real allies would be the ones who come to his aid during the invasion of CTP's lands.

Well, I'll say it again, I hope if you don't mind if I do some electronic warfare, I intend to electronically disable Soviet Bloc equipment sold to him, then likely either destroy it or capture with Marines and special forces. At most we'll have a few thousand Marines in the nation to ensure the safe return of our equipment.

The electronic warfare should help those who are invading as well, as we can deny GPS, GLONASS, RADAR, and radio communication, along with satellite communication to ground units.

Then you just signed your own death warrant. Expect a full HOUND V2 retalliation, and I very seriously doubt a nation as small as yours has the means to fend off even 1 HOUND V2.

I suggest you retcon this part of your post.

also post losses for my bombers attack

Negative. Your bombers are at least several hours away from my fleets, which are a day away. I will not post losses because frankly your forces just haven't made it there yet. Also, you are going about this all wrong.

The last thing you want to do in an RP is post an 'attack' or sorts and say 'please post losses'. You have to give me time to respond to your attack and defend against it properly, do not post saying you sent bombers and expect me to just post losses. I suggest you read my 'Ultimate Guide to War' thread, you might benefit from it greatly.

OOC:

I think I understand the whole "Time Cancel" thing now.

FC declared that all CTP attacks and invasion has been ignored. Consquently, CTP is now literally acting on that, as his forces magically return to his homeland upon being "IGNORED" by FC. Therefore, the whole invasion and aggression aganist FC never happened, because of FC's IGNORE.

Thus, CTP reverts to the time period where it never aggressive aganist FC, I believe. This means that the invasion of CTP would be unwarranted and invalid, as CTP would have never invaded FC in the first place, because of FC's ignore.


Hope all that made sense. :p

288x B-101D Super Bombardiers, flying at high altitude with a combination of PDAS bombs, Tacit Rainbow anti-radiation missiles, and Longaxe PDE-powered missiles;

192x B-105A Skyhammers, flying at low altitude with a combination of PDAS bombs, LRALCM cruise missiles, and SGAM supersonic missiles;

432x B-106 Warcrows, half flying low and half flying high with a combination of PDAS bombs, Chevalier scramjet-powered missiles, and SGAM supersonic missiles;

192x F-101C Halberd, armed with NLRAAM air-to-air missiles, and radar jammer pods for escort;
~1104 combat aircraft in total

Associated AWACS and refuelers will provide support at mid-course.

OOC: CTP - how do I put this - your nation just challenged and fired upon a nation which gave "Total War" a whole new set of meanings.

And you did so with relatively useless weaponry (napalm? napalm? Are you serious???).

Well, it's been nice knowing you. Vastiva would add in, but our fleet is still in international waters outside FC, and is going to watch this one on the telly.
Sharina
08-05-2005, 11:22
I'd like to add some more commentary that would be beneficial to everybody here.

I think the problem with CTP is that he doesn't fully understand NS. He is used to playing computer games, like Civilization and such, where he fights the A.I. He also might have had some experience with multi-player LAN gaming, so he is not used to RP'ing here at NS in text based roleplay with rules very different from computer video games.


He thought he was doing the right thing, by preventing nuclear war by taking out FC's nuclear weapons. Then FC ignored CTP's attack, thereby nullifying the whole CTP vs FC situation. There were no aggression aganist FC from CTP IC'ly *after* FC ignored his attacks, which means there would be no reason for AMF to demand that CTP become a province / vassal (As the CTP aggression aganist FC has been "erased" by the IGNORE).

CTP only fired on AMF after AMF demanded CTP become an AMF province / vassal. CTP wants to keep his independence, not become someone's slave or vassal, so soon after his nation was created.



What's more, CTP's token military is no big threat to AMF, yet I see the exact same band-wagon jumping here aganist CTP, just like what has been done aganist FC.

Big 1+ billion nations like Omz, Euroslavia, Vastiva, Teh Ninjas, etc. are beginning to dogpile aganist CTP and other March / April / May nations that are trying to come to his aid. The small newcomer nations actually have more balls, guts, and courage than the "big, old, wise" nations. The small nations band together to help and protect each other, while the "big, old, wise" nations feel the need to group up to take out nations 1 / 50 of a single "big, old, wise" nation's size.

That says quite something about the "big, old, wise" nations need for ego satisification, "Oh, I beat up a small guy! Now I feel great!!!!" and "Oh, I don't wanna fight someone my own size. Its so much easier to destroy someone much smaller than me!!!!"

This is turning into another FC. There really is no need for huge nations (1+ or 2+ or 3+ billion each) to all band together to take down 1, 2, or 3 small nations that barely make 100 - 200 million combined.



In my honest opinion, this behavior digusts me. I thought people actually learned from the FC thing, and learned to not gang-rape or dogpile small newcomer nations. This is extremely poor RP etiquette.

Even if he god-modded in the first place aganist FC, he DESERVES a chance to improve his RP. He should be given a chance to learn not to god-mod, and learn how to RP well. I can't blame CTP if he is going to god-mod the defense of his nation aganist this growing dogpile aganist him.

You guys are slamming CTP, not giving him a chance to improve his RP, and not letting him learn from his mistakes. Invading, annexing, or glassing over his nation is the wrong way to help him learn. In all seriousness, if he has no land or nation left to RP with, then he has no incentive to improve his RP'ing.


In my honest opinion, I strongly suggest that CTP fully IGNORE this dogpile invasion of his nation, and try to practice RP'ing with other nations. CTP needs to forget all about FC, and act if FC never existed. Then CTP can RP with me or some other open-minded nations to improve his RP.


I stronly felt that these things *HAD* to be said, given the circumstances, hypocriscy, and my growing frustration at the people of I.I. gang-raping CTP after most of them tried to solve this issue with FC. This cycle of huge nations dogpiling bullshit aganist 1, 2, or 3 month old nations HAS GOT TO STOP!

If this keeps up, I am seriously thinking about coming to CTP's aid to help him aganist this ridiclious dogpile. I don't care if I'm blurring OOC and IC by coming to CTP's aid for OOC reasons because this dogpile situation warrants this.

Good day.
