OOC: I want some of your territory!

IC: An official communique to the leader of Basque Spain:

To whom it may concern,

The Armed Republic of the 501st Legion knows of your interest in giving up some of your territory. In the event that they are indeed given up, President Ayanami has made a proposition for you. We are prepared and willing to give the following items in exchange for the territories of the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, and Indonesia:

$500 million USD
125 Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25 Foxbats
75 Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 Fulcrums
50 Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-31 Foxhounds
200 Mil Mi-24 Hinds
125 Sukhoi Su-24 Fencers
75 Sukhoi Su-27 Flankers
5 Tupolev Tu-160 Blackjacks
1 Nimitz-class aircraft carrier
2 Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruisers
5 Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers
2 Spruance-class destroyers
5 Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigates
5 Los Angeles-class attack submarines
1 Sacramento-class combat logistics ship
1 Supply-class combat logistics ship
It is our belief that the combined net worth of the cash and the offered military hardware is more than enough compensation for the loss of your territories. You will be allowed to keep Papua New Guinea, western Australia, and any other territories you may possess. That is all. Thank you for considering this offer.

Signed,

Rei Langley Ikari
Secretary of State of the Armed Republic of the 501st Legion

I had heard that someone had taken my territory and i wanted to know wjho it was the only territory that i gave up was the bit that BY bought from me, i don't want o give up any more territory.

That, and the fact that you're building a supergun that will destroy battleships in one shot, and shoots uranium, and well, that's just unrealistic. That might turn out to be a godmod cold war.

*Sips Cup of coffee*

OOC: Hmm, I think something might have gotten lost in translation here.

Superguns are an unfortunate fact of RL. I don't endorse the guy who was working on them or the tyrannical dictator who sponsored the work, but take a look:

http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/iraq/other/supergun.htm

Apparently the US military thought it was a feasible technology, because they searched Iraq pretty thoroughly for evidence of its existence.

In the roleplay I don't think anybody talked about destroying a battleship in a single shot. I believe the idea is that the gun could penetrate the armor of a large military ship. Again, this might be feasible if you could get a heavy enough projectile moving fast enough at the point of impact. Potential losses would depend on the actual roleplay that the weapon was used in. A responsible player would account for factors like misses, off-target hits, misfires, the fact that it hasn't been battle tested, etc.

Next, DU is a pretty common item; here's a reference that explains it in detail:

http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/du.htm

Currently, DU (depleted uranium) is used as the sabot (projectile) in M1 tank ammunition. The reason for this is that it is very dense and releases a very large and concentrated amount of (kinectic?) energy on impact.

As for the generalized cold war assertion, that seems like a "kettle-black" kind of argument. Who was it that launched a blitzkrieg on Charyania? Where did that lead? (Hint: Formation of the American League and defensiveness throughout many other nations.)

As far as Wasted Genius is concerned, I'd rather engage in diplomacy and trade, which I hope to develop as the roleplay unfolds *slaps self for procrastinating again* I think it makes sense that if I don't particularly want to do the war thing, I'd try to acquire some easily manageble, high-yeild technologies.

Have a good one!

OOC commands from on high

Basque: you can't simply claim those lands, if you want them you'll have to buy them or conquer them. MoPo, South Pacific, and Tichang have not shown up, and today is the deadline, so I declare their lands free for the taking. ALL PREVIOUS CLAIMS ON THESE LANDS ARE NULL AND VOID! DON'T ARGUE THIS POINT! The claiming starts now. Baasque, you get first dibs.

WG: good point about the supergun and DU. I would think R&D would be a bitch, though. Anyone who wants one will have to RP R&D. You can'rt simply pull one out of your ass. (that'd probably hurt, anyway). I also agree with you on RP'ing diplomacy. So (IC) The Free Land of Maineiacs wishes to extend to Wasted Genius the opportunity to open fully diplomatic relations, inclunding embassy exchange, and negotiating a trade agreement..

OOC again: Would you all please stop bickering and let me role play?

Halberdgardia

22-07-2005, 21:17

OOC: May I join this Earth? I've been looking for one to get in to, and I see my ally Joseph Seal's here, so that ought to make things fun. Perhaps I could make a claim on some of the lands you recently freed up, after the others have chosen their claims?

Maineiacs

22-07-2005, 21:21

I'll let you in. Welcome. As I stated Basque Spain gets first claim, then you can go. Feel free to read this thread to get a feel for things. And feel free to move to our NS region. Basque, you too.

BTW: Truitt is still around, roght?

And on an OOC note, Tichang's claims look mighty good now if he has not posted in a while. (BY and JS, well, their size is making me paranoid, so I need more fall-back land)

OOC: Upon firing such a weapon they would have to shut the gun down for a good while so the barrel could be replaced and the firing mechanisms repaired. I think the explosive force behind the shell could easily destroy the machinery that's being used to fire the gun. But yeah, it's simply a kinetic energy weapon.

IC: So my solution is to build expendible transports and firing mechanisms. The first tests of this weapon should come out shortly, however the executive committee is seriously questioning the effectiveness of such a weapon. In other news, tests of the new 'SuperRotor' class helicopter show that a problem with the shaft have lead to several accidents on startup and in midflight, such as individual blades sheering off in flight or on the ground, which unfortunately lead to at least one death.

If Basque Spain wants the following territory, then I'll cede it to him, but for now, I'll post my claim. If the India region (India, Pakistan, surrounding countries, etc.) is up for grabs, and Basque Spain doesn't want it, I'll take it. Just out of curiosity, though, what else is up for grabs? The various shades of blue that represent the inactive players makes it hard to tell. Depending on what's available, I might pick something else, we'll see.

Maineiacs

23-07-2005, 07:07

Here's what's available.

India
Pakistan
Bangladesh
Sri Lanka
Maldives
Bhutan
Australia (except for the state of Western Australia)
New Zealand
1.8 million sq. mi. of Antarctica (I've said this eariler, but I'll say it again that in this world, Coastal Antarctica has a cold Pine forest climate like central Alaska or Siberia and the interior is tundra)

IC: MHDP, The Free Land of Maineiacs accepts your conditions. Is this for all of your American territory, except the port at Westminster? If so, The agreed to price will be sent to you immediately.

now that gives me the rest of the aussie island no?

Maineiacs

23-07-2005, 22:34

It looks like Halbergardia is getting India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Maldives. Truitt is getting Pakistan. BY gets MoPo's Antarctic claim. You can have Australia and New Zealand in addition to what you already have. OK?

Land Claims are now closed, pending Basque agreeing to this proposal.

Halberdgardia

Would you mind taking Bhutan and Maldives instead? I know Truitt wanted more land, and Pakistan makes sense for him/her.

BTW, pick a color for the map.

Sure, why not. I've already got plans for India anyways. Let's see...all the good colors are taken! :p Since dark red is taken, I suppose I'll go with yellow. Not my first choice, but at least it's not taken.

EDIT: Quick clarification on one of the rules.

5. You can either RP your countries with the population demographics they have in RL, or with what you created for you NS nation.

Does this apply only to population size, or does it also include racial and religious breakdowns, tech levels, economy, etc.? If it's the latter, then I'll be using my NS nation demographics, and consequently, India will be much more affluent and modernized than it is in RL.

Beautiful Yalaluxurios

24-07-2005, 00:28

We scratched that rule eary on in the game. Your military poplation is derived directly form your NS nation. Military is normaly .3% of your population, depending on how militaristic you are. Your military should consist of about about 1,053,000 men and women.

24-07-2005, 02:26

BY: He waan't asking about millitary size,although you're right on that. to answer Halbergardia's question, It's the latter ahoice. You may play either the ethnic/ religious mix of your NS nation or the region's RL mix. We all thend to use NS population figures, I believe, so you might want to also. I don't knowif there's a consensus on demographics. Do you guys ever think of anything besides the size of your millitary? ;)

OOC: OK, thanks. I'll be using relatively modern tech, U.S.-level or slightly higher (maybe early PMT by using, say, XM-8s and XM-29s, but probably not much beyond that). I'll also be using my NS nation's economy, racial and religious demographics, and military units. I can post some examples of the tech I use, if you like. First IC post to come soon.

IC EDIT: "Under new management" would be an apt metaphor for the changes occurring in India and the surrounding area. Following the inexplicable collapse of the former government, the Democratic Republic of Halberdgardia had stepped in and seized India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Maldives, citing the old adage "Carpe Diem" as justification. The countries, now unified under the aegis of the Federated Territories of Halberdgardia, with their newly modernized infrastructures and militaries, were now poised to make moves on the world stage. But even more stunning than India's sudden rise to power was the announcement that the Federated Territories of Halberdgardia would be signing a formal alliance with the Imperial Seal Confederation of Joseph Seal, a massive world power that controlled vast swaths of territory. The alliance included terms for a mutual embassy exchange, exclusive economic and trading rights, and a mutual defense pact. What would happen next was anybody's guess...

The area will be organized into six provinces: Potomac, Carolina, Cumberland, Ohio, Dakota and Superior. Elections will be held so that our new citizens can have represntation in Congress.

" It shouldn't. It's a new kind of weapon"

" Why don't you tell me what kind of Cannon!"

" It's a laser"

"A laser?"

"Yes. A laser. The Laser comes out of the barrel, and it does damage. At this stage, it's not operational, but has reached a point where it can effectively kill a human being. It's still a prototype, but.... It is highly effective at these stages"

New Rail Initiative Announced

Boise, ID - In a press conference held earlier today, Wasted Genius announced that it will begin overhauling its rail system in and between all major cities. "We've decided that one of our highest priorities should be the improvement and expansion of our transportation system," Minister of Transportation Jo Aksos commented. "The current network may have been adequate for the previous government's transportation needs, but we believe that it is time to build a system that moves people and materials more rapidly, at a lower cost and at the same time bolsters our nation's competitive advantage in the world market."

Mr. Aksos went on to describe a plan that includes high-speed point-to-point passenger service and new funding for existing municipal light and short-haul rail systems. A plan that includes conceptual development and a cost analysis of migrating inter-city freight from the current highway system to an expanded railway network was discussed.

At the press conference, a representative of the Teamsters Union raised concerns that the government's plan "sends a negative signal to the thousands of truckers who move tons of vital goods every day." Mr. Aksos responded that "while even positive change sometimes requires sacrifice, a strong effort will be made to include everyone in the process." The plan is expected to create 40,000 new jobs in its first year and could strengthen trade relations in the region as demand for engineering resources and raw materials increases.

This is all OOC:

After reading H's post, I realized I never made a statement about my military.

Personnel:

Active: 986,100
Reserves: 51,900

Hardware:

Proportional to 2005 US military stats, based on head count.

Tech level/philosophy:

My military is based on the current US military model (2005) with a few catches.

First, my nation is an "inoffensive centrist democracy" so I take that to mean that the military is a defensive force and not interested in expeditionary ops beyond living up to our alliance requirements. Contrary to recent rumors, our primary mission is to minimize battlefield injuries and casualties while effectively providing security for our citizens and our allies.

Second, the military calculator says I have a lot of budget per head to trick out my soldiers. This either means new Humvees with fine Corinthian leather and those spinnie wheelcovers for everyone -- or -- spending money for state of the art weapons systems. After all, our leading industry is (regrettably) Arms Manufacturing.

WG's commitment to developing and using new-tech systems is that they will be developed in a reasonable time frame and defined clearly enough in RP so everyone can have an idea whether there is any godmoding going on in an actual battle RP. So, if you see WG discussing a new system, that doesn't mean it will be hitting a shore near you tomorrow morning.

Pretty Much You And JS. Whenever a country gets attacked, all the other nations just say they're Neutral, And they watch. NOTHING is happening, I'll have to do something Drastic.

OOC: I can think of one drastic thing you could do...(I'll leave this up to your imagination - j/k ;) ). But seriously, I think you need to look at the bigger picture. The thing that will make this thread last a long time is if it has more going for it than simply "I declare war on <<put any nations name here>>." That just goes down the road of "ha, I'm king of the hill - now what?"

Believe it or not, I see you as an interesting player in Earth NA and one way or another you've kept my attention.

Also, I think my point is made by the "neutrality" issue you just raised. Strictly speaking for myself, I declared neutrality for two reasons: 1) because the storyline of your first invasion was a little sparse and I didn't see much of an opportunity to RP it out very far. 2) if we did RP it, you've got a monster-size military that would either lead to just about anybody you come up against getting smoked, or everybody else ganging up on you, and you getting smoked.

I'll RP war, but its got to be on the basis that it builds the Earth NA thread and can be conducted in a way that allows for a good storyline to develop.

PS - I think Earth NA is alive and well.

OK, that's a good start. How about giving me Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei? Area-wise, that's not a really large piece of territory.

Defuniak already laid claim to Australia and the Indonesian half of New Guinea; we'll just let Truitt or Halberdgardia (I think that's how it's spelled) get the rest of Indonesia.

Wishing, however, not to start a war, the nation has proposed to start negotiations with the nation of Maineiacs, current ruler of Greenland and the northwest of North America. We are willing to tribute iron and steel, not to mention timber and gold, in exchange for rights to drill and fish in Greenland. We await Maineiac's response.

31-07-2005, 22:23

@ Clark Air Base, Philippines (now under the control of the 501st Legion, of course):

Secretary of Defense Rika Lee Matsuki, Chairwoman Misato Akagi, Army Chief of Staff Kyoko Langley, Air Force Chief of Staff Yui Ayanami, Chief of Naval Operations Naoko Katsuragi, and Commandant of the Marine Corps Ritsuko Katsuragi were led to a cavernous hangar by their heavily-armed, all-female escorts.

"Remember that contract we gave to our contractors to develop a high-yield thermobaric weapon?" Secretary Matsuki asked.

"Kinda," Chairwoman Akagi replied absentmindedly. "What about it, Secretary Matsuki?"

The Secretary, the Joint Chiefs, and their retinue entered the hangar. The hangar proper was empty, except for a Tu-22M "Backfire" bomber, some technicians, mechanics, and support staff, a couple support vehicles, and the object that the women were there to see: a 30-foot long, 30000-pound bomb painted Day-Glo orange.

"So, this is it?" Chief of Staff Ayanami said dryly. "A regular daisy cutter? This is what our taxpayer money went to?"

"No, no, and double no," Secretary Matsuki replied snappily. "Remember 'Neon Genesis Evangelion'?"

"Yes, Secretary Matsuki," all the Joint Chiefs chimed in unison.

"You know the N2 mine, right? Well, this is as close as we can get to it in real life. The projected yield of this baby's approximately 6-15 megatons. The contractors claim that it can single-handedly wipe out an entire carrier battle group or a small city."

"Sweet," Chief of Staff Langley said excitedly. "So, when are we testing it?"

"We're planning to test it on several of our decomissioned battleships just east of Luzon two days from now," Secretary Matsuki replied. "President Ayanami and Vice President Makino are gonna be there with us to see the entire thing. I'm pretty sure they won't be disappointed by our little display of anime-inspired technological might."

An excerpt from the news article in The 501st Times printed the day after the test:

Experimental "N2 Mine" Tested Successfully
SINGLE BOMB WIPES OUT ENTIRE FLEET

By LACUS SIEGEL
Times Manila Bureau

MANILA --- The "N2 mine," an experimental weapon developed for the branches of the 501st Legion's military by various contractors, was finally tested yesterday with spectacular results. At 0900 hours local time, a 501st Legion Air Force Tupolev Tu-22M "Backfire" dropped the first N2 mine prototype on a fleet of decomissioned Navy ships in the Philippine Sea. The bomb detonated at an altitude of approximately 158 ft above its designated target, the Forrestal-class aircraft carrier Takemikazuchi; the resulting explosion completely demolished the carrier, leaving only floating debris. The detonation of the N2 mine also destroyed the Virginia-class guided missile cruisers Kusanagi and Izumo, the South Dakota-class battleship Aegis, the Garcia-class frigate Kuraokami, the Kirov-class battlecruisers Archangel and Dominion, and the Kiev-class aircraft carrier Eternal.

Wars World Paper The Next Day...

In response to the testing of the N2 mine, Wars World military scientists have begun their own research for a powerful weapon. Already, blaster rifles are being fitted to infantry and vehicles, and there has been talk of creating a proton cannon to replace the current tank shells.

A team of physicists at MUSB have announced that they are beginning research on the newly-operational Nuclear Research Facility that promises to bring the fusion project closer to fruition. Dr. Elizabeth Parker, head of the team at MUSB, said in an interview "with the new techniques in heat-resistant alloys and high pressure containment, we believe that we are very close to making a significant breakthrough in the quest for fusion power that will finally free mankind from dependence on fossil fuels, as well as the dangers of nuclear contamination associated with fission." Energy Secretary Miguel Figueroa said that this project had the full support of the government.

OOC: An entire fleet!?!? wow, thats a little bit of a goddmod
OOC: Not really, BY. Thermobaric and air-fuel weapons (like my own homegrown N2 mine) are no godmod. I'm not good for explanations, so either click the following link or Google "thermobaric weapon."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermobaric_weapon

From what I understand, the largest thermobaric and fuel-air weapons in real life are equivalent to low-yield nukes when it comes to destructive power (without the risks of radiation and fallout, of course). The N2 mine is merely a logical step forward, roughly equivalent to a high-yield nuke such as the Castle Bravo bomb.

I can also cite a historical precedent for my fleet-destroying bomb: the Operation Crossroads test, conducted in 1946 using a pair of nukes in the 20-kiloton range. The first bomb, Able, sunk several of the smaller ships gathered for that test, despite the fact that it was detonated 1500-2000 feet off target; the second bomb, Baker, managed to sink or severely damage the rest of the other ships.

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Crossroads

Simply put, if a pair of 20-kiloton nukes can devastate a fleet of 90 ships, imagine what a single 15-megaton nuke can do.

IC: An official communique to the leaders of all Earth NA nations:

To whom it may concern,

Copies of the plans for the N2 mine, as well as working examples, are now being sold on the open market by the 501st Legion's military contractors.

A few OOC notes:

I read 501st's link. This stuff looks scary, but legit. Since he's willing to sell the tech, I'll allow it (besides, I'm researching fusion power, so I'd be hypocritical not to allow it). The year of the RP is 2005, but on an earth a bit more advanced than ours. Post-modern tech, folks. Truitt, I'll need more info about your weapons, but my first instinct is to have you RP the R&D. Neutron bombs are acceptable (albeit really nasty), or did you have something else in mind? Mechs and space fleets are definitely out.

Maineiacs

01-08-2005, 06:17

Does anyone remember what the Antarctica claims were?

Truitt

01-08-2005, 06:57

OOC: His stuff is alright. I perfer the MOAB with a slightly larger containment of fuseen materials.

Neutron arms have been used by my nation since my civil war (I kind a used it against myself), some 8-9 months ago. They are my prime "strategic" arsenal because they leave little to no long-term radiation and do not harm the atmosphere, while killing people and not buildings, or in more tatical views, tanks and ships. I barely use actual nuclear weapons, unless I am being invaded and he does not have them.

As to his N2, I would like a further explaination. You can't just give numbers and battle report, give on how it works.

Satellites with missiles to shoot both ground and satellite targets I also have, and also tungsten rod-armed satellites. All 2010 tech.

Now, in 2015 tech, I have an experimental Weather Modification System, which is extremely reactive and nearly blows up every time I use it, but gets the job done (cause of safety issues of it getting out of control, I only do it to make fog, remove a storm, or even add a tornado or two). I can see how you will not accept it, since it really isn't until 2020 till the actual range could be made beyond the plant far below the ground.

Further into tech, I have GISS, which is today's tech. 2010 tech makes it less expencive. It is pixel-sized cameras and televisions placed all over the soldier (and tank, the AU-2A1 Accord) which when activated turn him transparent, it not near-invisible. It drains a lot of power, and usually is only on for ten to twenty minutes at a time. Good enough to infiltrate a building or cave.

This is acceptable cause a simular suit is in tests in the Japanese universities. I could search on Google for the exact site (translated to English) but it'll be a bit.

Also, my OSAR (OSAR-II which I will note is just the rifle with the GISS on it) has a tracking system on the helmet and a whole lot of good stuff that makes my soldiers each an army of their own. I should really find the info sheet...

Eh, if you don't mind, I'll copy it here under a quote. It'll stretch the page a bit.

OOC: At first look I was a little alarmed at the more imaginative new-tech weapons I saw coming into play. But after a little internet surfing and Military Channel viewing I was truly apalled. Truth of the matter is that some of this stuff might actually go online over the next few years. *gasps and starts looking for property in the heart of Montana*

But I have to agree with the no space fleets thing. Sounds a little Star Warsy to me. Along this line the clone armies are quite a stretch of the imagination too, unless we're willing to RP what happens when a few of them get loose and start dating the local girls - I mean, clones will be clones....

Bottom line is a) I'm feeling old - My idea of war is polluted with images of John Wayne storming the pillboxes on Iwo Jima with nothing but his trusty .45. b) If I saw your tech in an episode of Star Wars, I'll probably scream godmod if you try to use it against WG without some kind of RL documentation. c) I'll happily RP whatever tech the thread's mod (Maineiacs) OKs. :)

As to his N2, I would like a further explaination. You can't just give numbers and battle report, give on how it works.

OOC: My N2 mine works on the same principles as a real-life fuel-air weapon: a cloud of explosive mist is expelled from the shell, then detonated using a pair of explosive charges.

Think of a giant aerosol can filled with a highly pressurized slurry of the most powerful conventional explosives known to man; that's my N2 mine in a nutshell (or bomb shell, if you will). An explosive charge busts open the can at a predetermined height (in the case of the N2 prototype, 158 ft), causing explosive decompression and violent boiling of the liquid component of the slurry, resulting in a massive liberation of explosive vapors and fine powder. In the instant that occurs, the second charge goes off, propagating a massive blast wave though the cloud of vapor and powder.

The territory I purchased from MHDP is going to have a major impact. Ain't too many Social Democrats in the Southeast and Midwest. I'll post my millitary figures as soon as I research what to have.

Here's the link to the military calculator.

http://twr.1colony.com/ver8/calc8.0.html

Works fine with Internet Explorer, but not at all with with Firefox.

Last time I tried it, it was pretty close. 380M population yielded a military of about 1.2M active + reserve.

BTW, the whole MechWarrior thing is set in the year 3063. Not that I've played it that much or just happen to have the box sitting right here. And I think Microsoft/FASA has a trademark on the word "mech" so nobody else is really using the term. So by my calculation, you only need to wait abooooout 12,684 days (34.75 years) before mechs can be introduced to Earth NA. Too bad, I'd really like to fire up a Daishi and go to town. *slaps self for admitting gaming weakness* :headbang:

I'm not sure, but I think the basic military advice of the modern era is to declare some country that your father failed to follow through on has weapons way beyond their economical and technological means and immediately lay siege on them. It helps to declare that another nearby country is harboring international criminals (not one you have multi-billion dollar contracts with) to get your troops 90% closer to the above-mentioned country.

(Have I read the entire thread? No, just looking for an excuse to spout some redundant rhetoric.)

I was curious as to how much food 30,000,000 clones would eat everyday. Here's the math:

The average male eats 440 pounds of food each year or 1.20548 pounds of food every day.

For 30 million clones, thats 18,082 tons of food required per day or about 6.6 million tons per year, which is equivalent to roughly 10 percent of the US wheat output per year.

Current price for a ton of wheat is roughly $200, so the clone mealticket runs about $120M/day or $44B/year, if they like a simple bread-and-water only diet.

And yes, I do have way too much time on my hands right now.

OOC: Oh! No no no. You misunderstand, Mechs are basically infantry with bazooka's known as mechanized infantry in Advance Wars (GBA game) I am NOT basing it off mechs like Mech Warriors and such.

And I bought those clones fair and square. And remember that I control ALL of Europe (except Cyprus), Russia, Alaska, Hawaii, and undoubtedly a couple other things I missed. I'm bound to have TONS of agricultural food, not to mention the food I've gotten from trading.

But... if it makes you all happier, I'll cut my clones down to 20 million. Is that acceptable, or do I have to keep nerfing my military? I buy clones only because I have a ton of land to control, and I still do not have adequate numbers of troops to control it all.

And yes, I have 20,000 stealth bombers because I am a militaristic nation. I make military items. I control almost 1/4 to 1/3 of the ENTIRE world for Chrissakes, so I'm bound to have tons of resources. If I must though, I will lower it to 10,000. Is THAT acceptable?

And the thermonuclear bombs were also bought and YES, LEGAL. Are you going to start having me nerf that too? Maybe I'll just have it planned or something and won't introduce it till October.

Also, I just remembered, I'm not basing off the US Military, know why? I'm at least 7 times the SIZE of the United States. Thus, it's only reasonable I have a bigger armed force.

Ok... how about this? I present you my original military, and YOU shape it to what you think it realistic ok? Remember that I have about 5 million in my army, a little under 1% of my population.

I'll start by posting a few guidelines (not many) and the maps.

1. All normal rules for posting on NS apply here.

2. Try to keep it IC, if possible

3. You can RP anything and everything: trade, diplomacy, war, internal stuff, etc.

4. Geographic note: for RP purposes, coastal Greenland and Antarctica will have a cold pine forest climate (like central Alaska or Siberia). Interior Greenland and Antarctica are tundra. Play all other areas as the climate and topography they have in RL.

5. You can either RP your countries with the population demographics they have in RL, or with what you created for you NS nation.

6. Feel free to rename geographic features, but make sure others know what they're called in our world.

ok, now to the maps...

Wars World']OOC: Oh! No no no. You misunderstand, Mechs are basically infantry with bazooka's known as mechanized infantry in Advance Wars (GBA game) I am NOT basing it off mechs like Mech Warriors and such.

Your right, I misunderstood. Chalk it up to too many hours behind the wheel of a Daishi :)

And I bought those clones fair and square. And remember that I control ALL of Europe (except Cyprus), Russia, Alaska, Hawaii, and undoubtedly a couple other things I missed. I'm bound to have TONS of agricultural food, not to mention the food I've gotten from trading.

I think my resistance to the clone thing is that usually when players amass big numbers of anything their hidden agenda is to "Rule the World." Like I was saying to Defuniak, that scenario usually wraps itself up pretty quickly and everybody justs ends up starting over again on another thread.

It doesn't sound like thats what your up to though. :)

But... if it makes you all happier, I'll cut my clones down to 20 million. Is that acceptable, or do I have to keep nerfing my military? I buy clones only because I have a ton of land to control, and I still do not have adequate numbers of troops to control it all.

Speaking for myself, I see the clone thing as an anomally that comes out of the need to balance the NS figures with what seems normal in RL. It seems perfectly rational that a player that has paid their dues in NS and has built a population wants to be able to play that scenario someplace. Then again, there is the somewhat realistic cost that decreases the efficiency of big numbers of anything. My tongue-in-cheek calc of the cost of feeding clones was intended to highlight this paradox. I'm surprised nobody has called me a wank yet. (I'm not, really I'm not) :)

And yes, I have 20,000 stealth bombers because I am a militaristic nation. I make military items. I control almost 1/4 to 1/3 of the ENTIRE world for Chrissakes, so I'm bound to have tons of resources. If I must though, I will lower it to 10,000. Is THAT acceptable?

Probably true about the resources but if you ever need more, Wasted Genius would love to sell them to you at a competitive price... (This message sponsored by the WG Ministry of Trade ;) )

Ok... how about this? I present you my original military, and YOU shape it to what you think it realistic ok? Remember that I have about 5 million in my army, a little under 1% of my population. I tried to make it fair by splitting it up EVENLY between my three main groups, (army navy and air force) so if you nerf me WAY too much , I'm going to protest. LOUDLY.

Not my job to nerf, only to annoy through wanking. (Just kidding, I'm not a wank, really I'm not!!)

Sigh... I apologize if this offends anyone. You caught me in a bad mood. Here's my army, do what you deem is "fair". And remember my Mech's are basically the Vehicle killing equivilent of Infantry. (Play Advance Wars if you don't know what I'm talking about.)

No offense taken here. Also, I was in a pretty giddy mood last night when I made my posts.

BTW, I'm thinking about a possible mercenary augmentation of my tiny, outdated military. It's a lot less trouble than rebuilding my own military. I'll have to run the concept past my allies to see if they have objections/requirements. It would be kind of like international trade, no?

Why was it so important to all of you that you do nothing but millitary conquest? what was wrong with RPing other stuff as well? What should we do now? Disband? Blow the hell out of each other?

"Blue Line" to put passengers, cargo and WG's trade economy on the fast track

Boise, ID - Wasted Genius' Ministry of Transportation announced today that it has started work on the first link of its high-speed railway network. Jo Aksos, Minister of Transportation said that this first link will originate in Los Angeles, California and terminate in Denver, Colorado.

"We are very excited about taking the first real steps toward implementing our high-speed transit initiative. Upon completion, this link will establish the east-west backbone of the system and will act as a gateway from the continent's interior to the Pacific Rim."

Mr. Aksos commented that the link which is known as "The Blue Line" is projected to enter service by August, 2007. Upon opening, passenger trains are expected to travel at about 170 mph and freight trains at about 125 mph. "We've engineered the railbeds and tracks to handle a wide variety of traffic so as locomotive technology evolves we hope to see top speeds of up to 300 mph for passenger service", Mr. Aksos declared.

The real benefit for passengers will be the lower cost of travel. "Our intention is to tip the economic scale in favor of rail transportation in order to drive costs to unbelievably low levels. This fits in with the administration's plan to encourage trade, improve energy efficiency and reduce pollution." When asked what a typical round-trip fare might be, Mr. Aksos declined direct comment but claimed that the goal is somewhere between 20 to 40% less than a comparable airfare.

Though the government's declaration sounds like something everyone could get behind, The Blue Line has its opponents. Le Vanos, of Teamsters Local 72 believes that the new government is showing its true colors, "Colors that are shades of PINK." Mr. Vanos stated his belief that the government is stepping toward a state controlled market economy by favoring rail transport over viable alternatives like trucking and airlines. "This initiative will wipe out the title of long-haul truck driver and at least 30,000 jobs along with it. We're not going to let this train pull out of the station without a fight!"

Neither the Prime Minister or Mr. Aksos chose to comment on the Teamsters claim.

IC: From MBC (Maineiacs Broadcasting Corporation)

November 2006 Election Update -- Maineiacs City

Polls across Maineiacs have closed and results are coming in. It looks like a victory For the New Democratic Party in this year's congressional elections. Numbers we have received indicate that the ND's have a plurality in The new Senate and with support from the Reform Party, they will form a majority government. The new approtionment will be New Democrats -- 223, Social Democrats -- 210, Reform -- 146, Socialist -- 31. If these numbers hold, the new Majority Leader will be Sen. Glenn (ND -- Ohio). Most election analysts attribute the shift in power to the new provinces attained from MHDP last year. How Pres. McDermott, now a lame duck president with a hostile Senate, will face this new challenge remains to be seen. Most experts expect a difficult fight over millitary spending.

Earlier today Yalan forces stormed over the Yalaluxurios/Teymor Antarctican border, lauching a full on frontal assualt on the Teymorian land. Unidentified military and goverment authorities inform that Yalaluxurios gave a clear, obviouse message, and as it was not returned, they were forced to invade, as stated in the message.

Woah woah woah. Time out. Let me explain something to you. I bought those clones. With my nation's money. I admit 30 million is a bit high, but I still deserve them because I got them fairly.

Also remember, my nation is large, larger than the United States. I have a higher access to resources. My nation is also militaristic, so undoubtedly I'm going to have lots of military stuff. I've also passed an issue where it was legal to clone human beings. All it took is a little government involvement, some military training and voila.

Yes, I admit I had too many Carriers and Stealth Bomber. Big deal. All it needed was a polite suggestion(and me in a better attitude), and I changed it to make it more fair.

And my nation's policy now, is to keep the peace and the borders strong. Therefore, I'm going to need a mighty big military and police force to get the job done.

And to all of you, I'm not trying to start fights here or big godmodding wars. I just want to have fun, AND secure my nation from others to KEEP having fun. If you think my armed forces are a little too unrealistic at the moment, tell me in a polite manner, (and be sure to catch me in a good mood :p) and we'll talk.

That's what I'm saying. If you can buy them, I can clone my 200 million myself. If i give every one of them a stick, a loaf of bread, and some beer, i would still win. Because I cloned them from a vetern soldier, where the clones you got might of come from poop. :cool:

"I thank you for selecting me as your prime minister. I have always said, 'keep the environment safe," and I will do that, by strengthening our military, but keeping corporations from overruning our land.

As for my foreign policy, I propose opening up better relations with the North American powers, and strengthening our relations with our allies, Beautiful Yalaluxios, Truitt, and The Hoth System. Give me your trust, and I'll give you proof, that I will make this... a better nation to all..."

This was actually an unusual election, because the party's policies were not clear. This was most likely because of the sudden change in prime ministers, and that the leaders were not prepared.

Elected by the people AND the parliament, the new prime minister is... Klaus von Herbertstein!

Mr. Herbertstein,

On behalf of my people, I would like to congratulate you on your election victory. You have joined the community of world leaders at a time when a great many issues are being negotiated and at a time when each decision can have a long lasting impact on the future of Earth NA.

Also, I would like to extend an invitation for you to be my guest and to visit our capitol city, Boise, Idaho at your earliest convenience. I believe this could be an excellent opportunity to become acquainted with each other's world views and to share the culture of Wasted Genius with you.

Sincerely,

As he leafed through the pages of his second newspaper of the morning, WG's Prime Minister came across the sports section. It had been the first time in months that he felt at leisure to spend a few minutes and catch up on the real news.

"Hmm," he said out loud as he noticed a particularly interesting article, "could it possibly be time to think about hockey already?!"

And then he faced east, genuflected, and said quietly, "Go Red Wings!!!"

At the research facility on the campus of MUSB, experiments had run into a brick wall. They were raching ever higher temperatures, but were still having serious containment issues. Dr. Elizabeth Parker was more than a little frustrated. "has there been any word from those researchers Wasted Genius promised us?" she asked.
"No. we're still waitng." Said Tom snyder, her research assistant.
"How about Oak Ridge? Any progress from there?"
"No, they're at the same point we are. Don't worry, we're close. I can feel it."
"Well, if we don't solve this problem, all we'll feel is the entire town going up in a blinding flash. Or they may just cut our funding. The ND's and their right-wing buddies in the Senate want more for the millitary."

Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM

"So Dr. Praxo, have you made any headway on the initial report for the Maineiacs scientists?", the section chief inquired. Dr. Praxo had a reputation for being brilliant, but impossibly disheveled when it came to paper work.

"Well Chief, I've got a lot on my desk right now, and the concepts you've asked me to boil down into a few paragraphs are pretty complex. You know anything about 'Charge Sheath Tornados'?"

"Quite frankly, I've only heard the term in passing. Something one of the lightning researchers in Phoenix was talking about."

"Exactly my point. Many scientists have heard of it, but few know that it directly relates to what you've asked me to work on for the Maineiacs Fusion Experiment. But that's just one piece of the puzzle. And that topic alone would require about fifty pages of text to explain with any credibility."

The section chief had heard this story from Praxo too many times to even respond to it. He knew what it meant; Praxo would always be one of those Ivory Tower guys who potentially had answers to a lot of questions. It was just a matter of prying those answers from the chaos that was his mind.

"OK, just give me the highlights. What are the five most important things that your team knows that could help Maineiacs out?" The section chief knew this was that bait that would get Praxo to formulate his thoughts.

"I'll play your game chief. Get a pencil."

Dr. Praxo continued, but this time with that annoying look of superiority geeks get when they think you've asked a question that only they know the answer to. The Section Chief knew that a 'Praxo Info Spew' was headed his way.

"Point one. Ball lightening. Turns out the particle vortex that forms in garden variety lightening can sometimes roll up in a ball momentarily and contain a plasma flux. This is called a Charge Sheath Tornado."

"Point two. This is the same thing that happens on a large scale on the Sun, home of nuclear fusion."

"Point three. A similar field has been formed by very powerful DC motors if their power circuits are interrupted accidentally. Of course, a DC motor is primarily an inductance coil - turn of the (20th) century technology."

"Point four. When the Charge Sheath Tornado breaks down, a huge energy discharge results."

"Point five. The Maineiacs scientists are busy trying to contain their plasma fields. The energy release from ball lightening and solar flares doesn't happen until the containment field dissipates."

"I'll throw in point six as a bonus. In our scenario, nuclear fusion isn't a continuous event, but a continuous string of momentary events. Kind of like setting off an infinite string of firecrackers. Setting up the Charge Sheath Tornado is a matter of fine tuning existing inductance field technology. And containment is safely attainable in all but one region of the reaction. Fortunately, thats where the collector would be aimed. Kind of like a catcher waiting for a pitch."

The section chief got what he was looking for, but a question was forming in his mind.

"Dr. Praxo, if you knew this all along, why haven't you built it for us?"

The section cheif watched as Dr. Praxo's moment of clarity faded into the background of mental noise that was his mind. His next statement only confirmed this assessment.

"Well you know, I've got a ton of paperwork on my desk, and this is really a very complex subject..."

From: The Prime Minister of Wasted Genius

In view of the alarming news that Wars World has mobilized its massive military, The Most Serene Republic of Wasted Genius has elevated its security status to DefCon 4. This state of alert increases security at our military bases and initiates a review of force readiness. Initial reports indicate that our military is at an average readiness of 91% with special forces and rapid deployment units reporting a factor of 98% preparedness.

We have dispatched unarmed observers to our borders with Wars World.

Unarmed observers have been dispatched to the 501st Legion's borders. A message has been sent through diplomatic channels to the government of Wars World, and an ambassador has been dispatched to Wars World's capital.

IC: In response to the official statement made by Wars World's government, President Ayanami has ordered that the 501st Legion's alert status be reduced back to DEFCON 5. Security has been decreased back to normal levels at all major cities, ports, military bases, and airports. The unarmed observers have been pulled back from the 501st Legion's borders, and the 501st LEgion ambassador has been recalled back to Beijing. Secretary of Defense Matsuki is currently considering allowing 501st Legion military forces to join the Yalan and Wars World militaries in the training exercises; a message has been sent through diplomatic channels to the Wars World government informing them of this.

- WG gets Alaska, just as you suggested. He seems content with that, but why don't we give him Sakhalin Island as well?
- Truitt gets the Balkans in addition to Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia.
- Halberdgardia keeps New Zealand and gets WW's Antarctic claim, as suggested; he should also get Great Britain just 'cause he wants it so much, and I think he should get Ireland and Iceland as well.

- Hoth gets Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Belarus, and the Ukraine.

The other Employees stopped what they were doing, but curious, sent the janitor to the scientific part of the Bunker. As he opened the door, he looked in, and fainted, the creature stared at him, walked towards the fainted janitor, stared, bit off a leg, and starting at the head, but was repulsed by the crunchiness of the glasses. Since the HORRIBLE monster had walked through the center of the room, was caught on camera. Seconds later, a slave with a dart gun ran into the room and shot the creature with a tranquilzer. Now that it was effectively knocked out, the head scientest walked in. "Ah yes, It seems that our new war machine, codenamed "telletuby", is successful. It needs some genetical changes."

Then this is what we will do, although I'm giving Russia's Kalinningrad Enclave to Hoth. IT's easier that way. BTW, Would someone mind reposting Antarctic claims?
OOC: I forgot something. I'd like to give Hungary to either Hoth or Truitt; the first of those two nations to post here will get that territory, plain and simple.

And no, BY, you won't be getting Europe back.

As an aside here, what are we gonna do about Charyania and MHDP? They haven't been active in a long time. Are we gonna be patient and wait for them to resurface and become active again, or are we gonna partition their territories just like we did with those other inactive nations?

How about I propose this:

- WG gets Alaska, just as you suggested. He seems content with that, but why don't we give him Sakhalin Island as well?

*snip*

OOC: Sakhalin Island. Hmm. If no one else wants it, I'll take it as a protectorate. Man, building a high speed rail to that is going to cost major bucks!

OOC: Maybe we could hold aside a little territory in case somebody new wants to join or some MIA shows up again later. I'm not talking about all of the MHDP and Charyania land, but maybe a "starter set" here and there. Also, I'd be willing to put Northwest Territories up for adoption later if a new player needs someplace to call home. Its not much to look at, but it might do in a pinch.

Blue Line May Be Fast, But Many Call It A Road To Nowhere

Boise, Idaho - Today the Ministry of Transportation opened the gates of its first high speed rail link connecting Los Angeles to Denver. Ridership was well below anticipated levels and most of the people on hand were simply there to watch the spectacle. Though the government has promoted the system heavily, public acceptance seems very low. "We thought we were on the right track with this initiative, but it looks like the Blue Line has gotten derailed before the first train left the station," Transportation Minister Jo Aksos lamented.

This reporter asked several onlookers what they thought about the Blue Line:

"Oh, I don't know, I guess its great if you know someone in Denver," one woman commented, "I just have to wonder why we sunk all of that money into it."

Another opening ceremony attendee said, "Its more expensive than driving there by car, and it takes a lot longer than flying, so it doesn't really provide a great solution to either problem."

The Teamsters had a somewhat more caustic response during a press conference this morning:

"The Prime Minister should resign. His grandiose 'Transportation Initiative' is dead on arrival and his 'International Trade Program' has one foot in the grave. We need a leader who can make things happen, not one with his head in the clouds. Its time for parliament to get off their pork barrels and change this government."

The assembled crowd cheered as the taillights of the nation's first high speed train vanished into Union Station's exit tunnel. One might wonder if they were ringing in the beginning of a new era of energy-efficient travel, or if they were bidding farewell to the pipe dreams of a government that has lost its way.

Down with me. I Have one thing to say about midway...

A Bunker underneath Midway....

-snip-

( In a few mins. i'll post an image of this repulsive beast.)

OOC: Can you make it look like Godzilla? I mean Midway is kinda near Japan and Godzilla usually came out of the ocean...

BTW. I'm surfing the net to find out how to kill a teletuby. I fear the horrible truth I might find...

WG: You have been given Sakhalin, check page 1. You could always build a reeeaaalllyyyy long tunnel. Kinda like the Chunnel on steroids. :D

BY: If you want Europe, talk to Halbergardia. I'm not just giving it to you. Cripes, man! You already have Africa!

Also, I am going out of town on the 20th. I'll be gone until Sept. 4th. I've asked WG to moderate in my absence. If MHDP or Charyania haven't shown up by then, I will probably let new people in, if inactives return I may let them have somewhere like Brazil, or Mexico. (Is that what you were talking about, WG?)

MAINEIACS CITY

The race for the presidency has gotten off to an early start with one candidate declaring his intension to seek the office today. Sen. Franklin Buchanan (Reform, Potomac) made the announcement at a news conference. "This country has lost its way." he said. "we need to combat waste and ineficiency, strengthen our millitary, and keep to our own affairs." Senator Buchanan siad he favors large tax cuts, de-nationalizing all industries, increasing the millitary budget by 600%, withdrawing from the American League, and closing the borders to immigration. Senate majority leader Jackson Glenn (ND, Ohio) said this plan was "dangerous and foolish."

OOC: Scratch that. I'd like to trade Hungary for Denmark, if anybody (especially Hoth) doesn't mind.
