Spooty Declared Unsafe!

Spooty was declared today to be one of the most unsafe countries by the UN, perhaps it was due to the roaming gangs of "lemonade" selling youths, or maybe it was the APC type vechiles that our citizens use on a regular basis to get from point A to destroy point C, whatever the cause this will certantly be a blow to the already poorly used tourist industry.

That was what the papers claimed, it had scared the people who began to clammer off to the stores in their APC's, soon shops were empty with panic buying and houses were turned into fortresses, with no-one to sell drug addled lemonade to the roaming youths began to destroy property, it was all under control until Mr Fungles was taken prisoner by the Spoot Halflings, of course the underground gang known as the Worms took full advantage of this and so know the whole of Spooty was in chaos, Mr Spooty has claimed Spootopolis and has began to control the problem, international aid has been requested.

(OOC: Spoot, you back from that party thing? Or are you just ingoring your Republic nation now?)

(OOC: i'm half and half, kinda stuck in Limbo, it started as a two week holiday but i've been trapped here for 4 weeks, i'll be back in a week, i'm not going to do anything with Kaduna till i get back then i'll have more time on me hands to sort it all out)

Any Dimmimaran citizen that is harmed in your nation whilst this is happening will merit a tactical nuclear strike upon your nation.

You have been warned.

Well i would suggest you get your citizens out of here pronto, what they were doing here in the first place is beyond me, we will however attempt to quash all rioters before any injuries or deaths take place.

The People's Republic of Plutocratica, representative of the Group of 77, has already landed a stabilization force in Spootopolis. After the People's Army Corp of Engineers created a "Big Top" like refugee center for some of the locals, a "re-education camp" was created for those who wanted to learn how the internal contradicitions of capitalist imperialism have led to the present crisis. The great heroic leader, Ghe Buevra, has also arrived and has inspired many of the locals to the Worker's cause. The People's Republic of Plutocratica wishes to end the violence in Spooty, a country reknowned for its civil rights. Representatives of the G-77 are being sent to the Holy Church of Pink Floyd in an effort to end the violence between them and the Worms group. Willing refugees are being trained in self defense and those heroic enough are being trained to go out and create small Liberation groups within Spootopolis. The groups will be able to defend small neighborhoods, and protect workers rights. Hopefully these groups will ensure that corrupt leaders are never elected again. The People's Republic of Plutocratica is concerned over the condititions of workers in Maskerade and Candy-Land and have sent paramilitary teams there to investigate claims of abuse from dissidents. Many of the citizens are also wishing to investigate the Spoot Mansion, which is feared to have fallen to counter revolutionaries. Currently more support teams are being created to retake parts of the city as well as grow more support for a People's Liberation Army in order to restore order to Spooty. More later...

Groups in the state of Freak Show are reported to show great interest in the idea of a People's Liberation movement in order to restore stability and rights to Spooty. Hopefully this great interest will spawn into negotiations, especially with the Spoot Halflings, who are rumored to have kidnaped Mr. Fungles. In the mean time, Ghe Buevra has proposed making worker's committees in order to manage an interim government for Spooty. Members of the Holy Church, labor unions, and youth and neighborhood leaders are expected to play an important role in these committees. If the government of Spooty falls, these groups, along with the armed Worker Brigades, will be able to maintain order and stability till the government regains control. Buevra is encouraging youths to join these Worker Brigades and civil defense units instead of causing damage to the community. Youths are also encouraged to learn more about the political process and act within communities so that they can do their patriotic duty towards the community as well as ensure that their rights are protected. Many youths show a willingness to go through the training process to become armed guardians of their community. Buevra hopes this will lead to the formation of a great proletarian movement and the foundations of a vanguard of the proletariat that will safeguard worker's rights and ensure stability within Spooty.

Jenrak will offer to supply Spooty with biological weapons to supress, kill or capture the rioters, if needed. We simply cannot stand civil disturbances.

Mr. Spoot, former leader of Spooty, cannot seize power without elections. Mount Spooteh needs leadership during this troubling time. Mr Spoot should remain the leader of this state and not try any rash actions. The People's Republic of Plutocratica has sent an envoy to Maskerade leader and Spoot Socialist Party leader, Mr. Spiff, to join in condemning any illegal actions on Mr. Spoot's past. If anyone should replace Mr. Fungles, it should be Mr. Spiff who is the current elected government's military advisor. Mr. Spiff is noted for his attention to the rights of workers. The People of Plutocratica welcome dialogue with Mr. Spiff and hope that he can contain Mr. Spoot's actions. In the mean time, Spootopolis must be brought under control through patriotic worker groups that can answer to the will of the people and act out the functions of the government till Mr. Fungles or Mr. Spiff regain control of the national government.

Mr Spoot, Spootopolis

Derek sat in the chair of the Spoot mansion, an aide walked in "M'Lord the nation of Plutocratica is investigating rumors that you have siezed power from Fungles!"

Spoot looked stunned "do they not know that i am the rightful ruler of this nation? Tell them that i only intend to caretake this position until Mr Fungles is released."

Spoot Halflings HQ, Freak Show

"What should we do with the Clown?" A Halfling asked in a high pitched extremely nasal voice "I say we sell him off, he's no use to us dead!"

Inquisitor Acco Spoot, Spootopolis

"Lord High Inquisitor, representatives from the Plutocratican G-77 are here to stop us fighting the Worms!"

Acco sighed, he began to think out his options before speaking "Blockade the doors, let only our forces and the G-77 through, we will agree to a cease-fire only if the Worms stop their violence!"

Jack "Arsehole Judge" Bottam, Spootopolis

Jack and his forces were chasing down fleeing Floydist priests, they were fully aware that they would likely get attention from the Hammers but they did not particularly care "The Worm Your Honour! Freak's seen to the east!"

Jack ordered a small contingency to march to fight the Freak Hammers

Skopi Dickenson, Spootopolis

The Hammers were arming and fortifying, they had hoped that the Worms would fall into the trap, it would only be a matter of time before the day would be won for the Church.

Mr Spiff, Maskerade

"send off a hundred of the Ringleaders to fight the Lemonaders in Candy-Land, keep fifty to defend this State, send another 50 to defend our holy church and-" Spiff was interupted by a phone "yes? Oki I understand, very well, do nothing, we under investigation and Mr Spoot has asked that we co-operate!"

Eric "Woooah man!" Dutch, Candy-Land

Pocket knifes and broken bottles were being handed out to the Lemonade sellers "Remember, these weapons are just in case you see a Ringleader, were only here to pillage! May Spooty Tab be with you!"

Mr Silli Splonka, Candy Land

"Rebels? In my State?" Splonka looked as shocked as he sounded "well i guess we have nothing to do but to defend ourselves, block off every entrance to the factory and make sure none of our stuff gets contaminted!"

Ghe Buevra personally thanks the government of Jenrak for aiding Spooty in this time of crisis and welcomes the supply of weaponry to seek justice against aggressive counter revolutionaries. Red Brigades are being sent to secure the docks in order to make sure Jenrak's supplies reach Spooty safely and the weaponry does not fall into the hands of Spooty's enemies. The news of this shipment has strengthened the resolve of Spooty's Worker Committees and there is already talk of forming a governing body for Spootopolis inside Spoot Mansion. Key community leaders are encouraged to go out and gain the support of their community for an interim governing body within the Spootopolis Commune until Mr. Fungles or Mr. Spiff regain the national government. The People's Republic of Plutocratica is also sending in some trainers and guerillas to train the people of Spootopolis how to defend their state in urban warfare.

Telegram From Mr Spiff to Plutocratica

Me and Mr Spoot are the closest of friends always have been, when Fungles was captured it went to the next largest party in the previous elections, which was the Spoot Liberal Party headed by Mr Spoot, as of Mount Spooteh needing rule, well only 500 or less people are foolish enough to live in such a place.

Telegram From Mr Spoot to Plutocratica

I understand that Mr Spiff has attempted to explain our politics to you, an attempt to sieze my rightful position of power is a questionable thing, why do it? so far all it has accomplished is to make me take my eyes from the issue at large, the Riots.

"If you so desire, the Council of Clans could dispatch a company of Charr Warrior Rangers, our most elite warriors, to assist you in... suppressing these dishonourable, treasonous creatures. Our Warriors rarely get chances to prove their honour and skill in the eyes of the gods, and I am certain that they would simply relish the opportunity to engage in some unadulterated violence for a greater cause."

Premier Democida and the rest of the Politburo have asked for information about the groups involved in the Spooty conflict:

Who are the Worms? Their Leaders, their cause, their goals. Where are they most active?

Where is the Church most active? What are its Leaders, cause, and goals?

What are the different groups in Freak Show? (For instance, the Halflings) What political group do they ally themselves with?

Who are the Hammers? What are its Leaders, cause, and goals?

What are Ringleaders? Lemonaders? What are their Leaders, cause, and goals?

The new Minister of Information, being very new to Nationstates, will now conform to the writing style as Spooty is now using and which he has seen used in the other RPs. He is also tired of writing and will update the People's actions in due time (couple of hours.)

Till then the People's representatives will be glad to meet with the Church's leaders and acknowledge their tireless efforts to bring peace to the region and their support of worker's rights. The People strongly condemn any anti democratic action taken on the part of Spooty's leaders and reject any leader that will try to violate the rights of the people. Plutocratica and the Spoot Worker Committees being formed within the Plutocratica-G-77 zone will respond to such illegal actions. Also the G-77 awaits a response from Mr. Spiff, who's help will be needed shortly.

Plutocratica now understands why Mr. Spoot has claimed rightful control over the national government and apoligizes for any misunderstanding.

The blessed Chris would be delighted to insert several hundred of its multitudinous law enforcement agents to re-establish order upon the streets of spooty.

The embassy of pantycellen will be defended against ANY who attempt to attack it and excessive force will be used

We'll send an group of 50,000 Riot Police with shields and clubs to help put down the riotsand restore control. We ask for one favor that we from an free trade agreement with our nation, but if you don agree we are stilling willing to send the riot police to help out.

Telegram From Mr Spoot to All Who Have Promised Aid

The Ringleader Guard are currently fighting mostly to break the Worms in Spootopolis and the Lemonaders in Candy-land, if you are to send aid please do so in either of these locations, all terms given so far seem acceptable.

OOC:Expect the Red Tide Mafia to show up... errr, now, BTW: What kind of APCs are your citizens driving?

IC:"Spootopolis is an excellent place to sell our wares, the country is in semi-anarchy and gangs are roaming the streets justr looking for weapons, we'll sell them weapons... namely T-90 Main Battle Tanks! Plus, they like drugged lemonade. We could sell the Lemonaders the drugs." The leader of the 'Circle of Five' said.

The rest of the Circle of Five nodded in agreement.

"We'll have to clear it through the Boss though." They did.

A few days later, some random medium sized port town in Spooty, several Red Tide Mafia owned freighters sailed towards the port, the port authorities would probably not be expecting the arrival of ski-masked men armed with Assualt Rifles, Rocket Launchers, and handheld Anti-tank and Anti-Aircraft Missiles. Not to mention Armored Personnel Carriers and Main Battle Tanks once the freighters began to unload. One of the freighters even carried MI-28 HAVOC Attack Helicopters.

(OOC: everything in this disaster is a pisstake on the UN report of my nation

The Circus State of Spooty is a huge, economically powerful nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 677 million hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Social Equality, although Education and Public Transport are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 58%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Mobile phone masts are being erected all over the country, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, citizens drive tank-like vehicles with mounted machine guns, and pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are sold freely by the government. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Spooty's national animal is the Little Purple Monkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Spoot.

Spooty is ranked 14th in the region and 110,264th in the world for Safest Nations

so which gang would like to be selling to?)

OOC:The only gang the Red Tide Mafia is particularly looking to sell to is the Lemonaders(mostly drugs, but weapons too). All the other gangs can send a representative to this port town(which you pick by the way) once the Mafia finishes setting up shop. The Red Mafia only hates those who declare war against them... and are rutheless(they even have access to Cold War Era Fighter-Bombers and Chemically tipped SCUD Missiles for crying out loud).

(OOC: Landing in the west coast would probably be best, the Ringleader guard or other military forces may be experienced fighting off the Lemonaders, but for now...)

Eric had been told to come down to the dockside in Sporlington, currently he was so wasted that the Portside could have been a type of Monkey for all he knew, fortunantly Eric's best mate Leeroy was there to go to Sporlington, he hoped that no Ringleaders were present, just in case he had taken his pen-knife.

OOC:The Red Tide Mafia would pick the least defended sea port to take over.
IC:
The first Mafia freighter steamed up to the docks. They stopped right next to them and dropped anchor. Men wearing ski-masks with M4A1 Assualt Rifles slung across their backs clambered down specially built rope ladders down to the ground while men with PSG-1 and Dragunov Sniper Rifles kept watch from ontop of the crates. The process was repeated with all the other freighters except the one carrying the helicopters, which anchored off shore and had one of its choppers rolled out from the crates(the blades folded up and wings detached). The Mafia men on the freighter fueled them up(they had built special helicopter fuel containers and a single helipad on the freighter), attached the wings, unfolded the rotor blades, and began arming the wings hardpoints with Rockets and Guided Missiles.

the sudden movement of arms and weaponry stunned Eric, he wondered if these men were here to help or if they were here to cause death "Hello peoples! Whatcha dooing?" he shouted out.

We are able to send 3,000 armed soldiers to restore order in your country. All we ask in return is the right to establish an embassy in your capital.

News Report in today's THE PEOPLE'S TRUTH of Plutocratica: Outbreak of Patriotic Riots in Plutocratica. After the information briefing was announced to the people, angry concerned citizens took to the streets in an impassioned riot in favor of the Politburo's decision to take action in Spooty. The famous motto of The People's Republic of Plutocratica is, "Crush The Lemonade Stand Petty Bourgeois Pig Dogs!" which was created after the bloody civil war there. When the patriotic workers of Plutocratica discovered the human rights abuses occuring in Spooty and the existence of a strong presence of lemonade stand bourgeois reactionaries, the people spontaneously rushed to sign up to help in the effort to liberate Spooty. The crowds shouted, "The end of exploitation is in sight Spooty!" and sang songs of solidarity with the workers of Spooty. This overwhelming support comes at a time when the military forces of Plutocratica prepare to send over more teams to create a permanent refugee and military staging area for the G-77 troops as well as other bases for any other international relief groups.

The Mafia thugs pretty much ignored him... considering that most of them were Russian and only spoke that language they didnt even understand what the man was saying. The Red Tide Mafia Of-Capos(the nickname for officers) however knew a moderate amount of English. One of them took a sqaud(10 men) with him to the man who called out to them. He spoke in english with a moderate accent.

"Gentlemen. Can you please leave the port, it is now under our control. We will allow you to return to you home."

As he spoke, a Of-Capo who had been trained to operate cranes commandeered one and began to unload crates from one of the freighters. The front was pried open. 6 thugs who appeared to not be armed and were wearing tanker headphones entered, approximately 1 minute later 2 T-90S Main Battle Tanks rolled out. Their reactive armor plating making it semi-toy like but the dangerous 125mm high velocity main gun tolled its true purpose. Around this time the first MI-28 lifted off the freighter offshore and flew low over the dock.

"oh, righty doodle then skip, heyup jimmy get urt Tra'er ready we going 'ome" Jimmy who was a rather meek looking 14 year old rushed towards a large Tractor, Leeroy jumped onto the side "seesya dudes!"

The Of-Capo blinked, "That was easy."

The T-90 Tanks, BTR-90 APCs, BMP-3 APCs, SA-8 Mobile SAMs, and ZSU-23-4 Shilka Self-Proppelled Anti-Aircraft Guns continued to be unloaded. The Mafia also began setting up SA-12 Stationary SAMs. Men armed with a vareity of handheld weapons also began to off board. When the freighters were finally empty, a Red Tidean Regiment(2,500 men) had been offloaded. Already. The Red Tide Mafia had taken over the docks, they rolled out into the town and began to take over. The now-empty freighters pulled away from the docks and began to sail away. The Havoc Helicopters began to land at makeshift helipads on the docks. Already appearing on the horizon were more Red Tide Mafia Freighters, carrying another regiment worth of men.

On the outskirts of Spootopolis capital city a man in a brown cloak that shielded his face from view watched the movements of Plutocratican G-77 troops and Spoot Red Brigades through his binoculars. He lifted his radio and reported what he saw into it. Another cloaked man outside the town just taken over by the Red Tide Mafia heard his report.
-"Good, everything is coming into place. All the actors are in place for a truely international incident. Our message shall echo across the earth."
-"Soon the oppression of agricultural-industrial kleptocracy shall be lifted off the shoulders of humanity and Mother Earth. True equality shall be known by all."
-"Very soon people shall know the Mongongo Truth. Go into Spootopolis, preach the Truth of Mongongoism. Our brothers in Spootopolis must not live in ignorance of their true calling any longer."
-"Yes, continue to relay information about the warring factions that you discover in the port city. We shall only need to adapt and live with Industrial trade for a little bit longer. Then Humanity and Mother Earth shall again merge as one. Go into hiding for now."
--------------------------------------------------------------------
NationStatesNews South Africa: "... more fighting has been reported inside of Botswana today as the government battles a small but persistent group of nomad raiders inside the Kalahari Desert. The militia claims to represent the true path of humanity and claims to know the meaning of life, a part of what is called the Mongongo Truth. The government has declared them to be a terrorist cult group. Today the nomad/religious group gave a message to its supporters through the radio (emphasis given by NSNews):
'When people ask me, good listeners, why do I hate all the Agriculturalists, I say, read our cultural imperialist dictated history. The Agriculturalists were collaborators for the despots and bringers of famine and horror, they stole our nomad collective lands, they whipped us. Now they have come back, these Farmers rebels. They are cockroaches [Cockroaches are considered especially vile since they survived and prospered in Agricultural cities]. They are murderers. The Kalahari is our Nomad land. We are the majority [This is a blatant lie]. They are a minority of traitors and invaders. We will squash the infestation. We will wipe out the Agricultural rebels. This is RTLM, Nomad power radio. Stay alert. Watch your neighbors.'
This was a precorded message by Ultra-Nomadic Extremist Hubutu Jenwawaneenee, a terrorist known for his antigovernment activities and his extreme Mongongist views. This is Mlungisi Meshoe for NationStates News South Africa in Pretoria."

Ghe Buevra, Spootopolis
Comrade Golga entered the room and reported, “We are now in the final stages of the construction of a landing base and port. Our first Spoot trainees have left the refugee camp and are heading into the capital city in order to leader the Worker Committees. We must now begin drawing up district lines for the Worker Committees, as well as contacting labor union officials and Church officials. The Worms and Lemonaders are both counter revolutionaries. Their stated goals are the suppression of the People. The Lemonaders are in league with the capitalists in Candy-Land, the Worms’ intentions are less known.”

“Victory Comrade!” exclaimed Comrade Ghe Buevra, “Major, step up the training programs for the refugees. This state and the city of Spootopolis are teeming with counter revolutionary Lemonaders. Remember The People’s Republic of Plutocratica’s motto, “Crush The Lemonade Stand Petty Bourgeois Pig Dogs!" We shall not all our comrades in Spooty to be left under their tyranny. The Internationale shall be the human race!”
The thunder that roared behind them came not from the sky but from artillery within the base as shells blasted the location of Worms that had been located by informers.

The Holy Church of Pink Floyd, Spootopolis- The People’s Envoy from Plutocratica met with officials from the Church. The People’s Liberation Army wish to ally themselves with the Church against the Worms. At your command, 100 elite Red Guards will be left to defend the Church. Sources from the refugee camp and within the explosion of underground Worker groups are confirming the location and bases of Worms. A cease-fire is no longer necessary or sought after. We wish to receive representatives from the Hammers at our base. Comrade Ghe Buevra awaits a meeting with Skopi Dickenson

The Spoot Mansion
-“We need all the information about the locations of base of operations, cells, and leaders of the Worms and Lemonaders to carry out an attack on these groups, Especially Worm leaders Robert "Pink" Tylerson, Jack "Arsehole Judge" Bottam and their lieutenants, as well as Lemonader Eric "Woooah man!" Dutch,” said Zentha Norga, representative of the G-77 forces, “We also wish to know more about Candy-Land and Mr Silli Splonka. Also... what is that noise outside??!” Norga turned and looked out the window seeing the crowds encircling the building. “What the...”

The Streets of Spootopolis
- “Come comrades! The pigs are inside!”
The refugee camp had been a large recruiting grounds for the G-77 People’s Liberation Movement. Each Plutocratican squad was followed by several Spoot Worker or Red Brigades. Most carried AK-47's, AK-74's, or RPG’s. The armed worker groups would secure whole neighborhoods and then allow the community to come out to hear what they had learned in the refugee camp. Labor union officials were contacted and brought to these meetings. Each local group immediately formed a intermediate governing body. Many were reporting that elections would be held as quickly as tomorrow. The Worker Committees would command the allegiance of the Worker Brigades in order to protect each neighborhood from Lemonaders and Worms. Plutocratica’s propaganda officers soon began to step up information meetings. University students quickly spread the message like wildfire. While Spooty was well known for its civil rights, the government spent 0% of its funds on welfare. Worker Brigades and Neighborhood watches borrowed APC’s from local citizens and began to take back the streets. Within hours public areas were covered with posters about Worker Solidarity. The Worker Committees were going to take back the streets, with or without government help. Soon protestors surrounded the Spoot Mansion. The protestors, claiming to represent the Worker Movement, demanded that in this time of emergency, a basic minimum income be made available to all people, and the minimum wage be increased as inflation had risen quickly during the outbreak of violence. The protestors also demanded for more worker’s rights. As Plutocratican trucks drove through the Worker Brigade protected street, they played messages from Comrade Ghe Buevra. He was pleased at the extremely quick progress of the Worker Committees. “Tomorrow you must determine the area each Committee is to govern. Then you must create a City-wide Committee. Your government is a democratic one! They shall respond to the needs of the people! These committees will supplement your political power and shall help you safeguard against the Worm/Lemonader threat!” Problems, however, have already begun to arise. Labor unions are afraid of losing political influence or being replaced by Worker Committees. Also, some Red Brigades have not contacted any authority and seem to be working alone. Fears of splinter groups have become prevalent. Armed Workers are now patrolling the streets and are engaged in gun battles with Worms and Lemonaders. Neighborhood “purges” are being carried out in order to “purify” Spootopolis of the Lemonade drug scene. Red Brigades are going house to house, carrying out Lemonaders and suspected Worms, and in some cases executing them on spot. Also there have been large amounts of workers gathering arounf some of the factories in Spootopolis.

Docks of Spootopolis
Armed Workers and Plutocratican platoons have now secured the dock. Jenrak’s biological weapons have been delivered and are now being taken to the International Military Stabilization Zone and secured in an undisclosed location there. A particularly violent gun battle has recently broken out at the dock, although it is unknown if the enemy is Worm related.

Outside Candy-Land
A Plutocratican platoon of infantry is preparing to set a base for operations within Candy-Land and is awaiting back up.

Within Freak Show
Plutocratican representatives are meeting with interested local citizens about forming partisan groups in order to go and fight the Lemonaders within Candy-Land. Another platoon of G-77 troops has moved in to start setting up Camp Hammer to recruit local citizens to the cause and train them to fight prolonged guerilla warfare and urban combat.

Red Square, Plutocratica
More than a Million people had gathered outside The People’s Palace to hear the Premier speak. “Yes, Comrades!,” shouted Premier Democida to the adoring crowd. “We are sending our larger military forces to Spooty in solidarity with our comrades there! No longer shall they be oppressed by the same expoliters we fought a long, bloody war against. The Lemonade Stand Petty Bourgeois Pig Dogs shall be CRUSHED!” yelled Democida as he banged his shoe on the podetium to the fanatic screams of the national motto by the crowd. “We stand by you Spooty! We are sending the our finest Tank and Motorized Divisions with T-90 and upgraded G-77 T-80 tanks. We shall unveil some our top secret weaponry that has been in the works for years! We shall have Su-27's and Mig-29's as well as a Tu-160 Blackjack bomber regiment for sustained combat missions inside of Candy-Land. The People of Plutocratica have fully committed themselves to be engaged in all out war with the traitor Worms and the Aggresors in Candy-Land!”

Inside the house was a strange collection of cast-aways, disenchanted Worms hiding from the Plutocratican raids, disillusioned Church members, and unemployed and homeless who were left to fend for themselves. A cloaked man stood before them and leaned to hear something from another cloaked person. After a moment he nodded his head and the other person left. The cloaked man spoke, "Greetings friends. What I see before me are the outcasts of the social order. You shall soon be members of a much larger community. Brothers, you have been forced into bondage, you are trapped in a world of shallow materialism, consumerism, and elitism. I am here to tell you that this will change. Watch this video."

Soon a TV turned on. A town in Botswanna was shown. A crack was heard. The electricity turned off. It didn't turn back on.

"My brothers and sisters, you are witness to the end of the Agricultural-Industrial Empire that has ruthlessly exploited Mother Earth and her peoples. Allow me to tell you the true calling of mankind..."

In the other room the cloaked man talked into his radio, "We are gaining coverts. Those idiots out in the city are causing the masses to become confused and discontent. They are a lost people. They have no idea that they are all working for the same masters... and are all speeding towards their own demise."

"Patience brother," spoke the radio, "when will the Sign be coming."

"It is already on ship and will be smuggled into the country. With rumors of Plutocratican blockades, we must be careful."

"Continue to grow our ranks brother. Anyone who has not alligned themselves with the Plutocraticans, Spoot government, Floydian church, or Worms is fair game. Soon they will all thirst for the message. Once they witness the Sign."

Mr Spoot, Spootopolis

"We've given you all the knowledge that we have on the groups fighting in these riot's, bear in mind however that Robert "Pink" Tylerson is not a Spooty national, he is just veiwed as a hero to Worm's across the nation."

Mr Fungles, Freak Show

Mr Fungles could hear grunting and scuffling, there were a few screams before he was lifted up and dragged off, he hoped this was the Ringleaders here to take him away, his blindfold was removed and he saw that he was in the back of a Van with six other Worms, this night was not getting any better.

Mr Silli Splonka, Candy-Land

A small orange halfling dropped off a package onto Splonkas desk, Splonka took out his letter opener and ripped the parcel, he opened it to find 6 ariel photographs taken from the Airship Cocoa, it showed an army landing in his own state, "we cannot fight this! Send one a large batch of Splonkas Happiness Chocolate, try to negotiate them off our terrirtory.

Telegram From Mr Spoot to Plutocratica

Please refrain from using biologicalweapons within our territory, if you are going to do so make sure that there is absolutly no other option you may take.

Telegram From Mr Spoot to Teh Hax

The terms you have given us are more than acceptable, the fighting so far appears to be concentrated in Candy Land, any of the ports there would be a great landing zone.

Our troops will be landing in Candy Land soon. We request a situation report of said area.

Jumbo Paper Clips, 117th Trenchantine
- The disgruntled fat ruler (or in truth, his advisor) of Jumbo Paper Clips was going over the morning rebellion report. Today there was international news.

“It looks like there is a large amount of arms flowing through the circus state of Spooty. We should take action, send some teams over to rape and pillage and the sort.”

“Err... our regional neighbors may express displeasure. Especially after the whole blowing up the refugee boat incident.

“Well, noone need know we are doing it. Not even the rest of the government. I have my own teams just sitting around. They could sneak in and establish a presence within Spooty. We’ll work with one of the factions and get as much as possible out of this as we can.”

“What of the other nations involvement? Shouldn’t we suspect that they too are attempting to reach similar goals?”

“Stop being so defeatist! All dissidents are to be crushed.”

- And so Jumbo Paper Clips began its involvement inside Spooty.

Telegram From Mr Spoot to Teh Hax

A few unconfirmed reports are coming in telling us of a large army landing in Candy-Land, most of the Ports to the North are under our control but the more southern are turning to the Lemonaders, if you feel unsafe about landing in Candy-Land then Maskerade is bordering Candy-Land and has so far remained reletivly untouched.

Telegram From Ghe Buevra, leader of the G-77 troops, to Teh Hax's military commanders

Greetings Comrades! For operations within Spootopolis, the capital city and ruling state of Spooty, we have set up a staging area for international peacekeepers. We are expected more of our own forces shortly, including heavy armor and air support. We also have recieved biological weapons from the nation of Jenrak! We look forward to working with you!

Camp Revolutionary Vanguard, G-77 base of operations within Candyland

People's Army Corp of Engineers were still completing the base.
"We have confirmed reports of Lemonaders roaming freely across the countryside. Bands of raiding Lemonaders with broken bottles could become a threat to the base. We need more reinforcements so that this base will become operational and I can begin to carry out attacks on Lemonaders. Our logistics lines can travel through Maskerade, a safe zone, and some of Jenrak's biological weapons can be given to the Spoot Ringleaders in Maskerade," reported Comrade Aldoza to Comrage Golga in the Spootopolis G-77 HQ. "Also, a Mr Silli Splonka, leader of Candy Land, has sent chocolate to the base and negotiators, they want us to leave immediately. We didn't open up the packages since we believed the chocolate may have been poisoned."

"Damn this Splonka! He is behind the Lemonader rebellion, and is of the same bourgeios reactionary stock that tyrannized our people for years of bloody civil war! Tell him that he must disclose all his intentions towards the Spoot national government, to the workers within Candy Land, and towards the Lemonader counter revolutionaries immediately! Continue work on the camp. Noone is leaving without a fight.”

(OOC: dude, the Chocolate was sent in negotiation to the Red Tide Mafia landing in Candy-Land ready to assist the Lemonaders, who are completely unaffilliated with Mr Silli Splonka)

oops, sorry about the chocolate mixup. Also the People's Republic of Plutocratica sees all counter revolutionaries, Lemonaders and Candy-Land's despotic CEO leader, Mr. Silli Splonka, as having the ability to work together.

Mr Spiff, Spootopolis

"If we don't move the Ringleader guard soon then we will have no nation left to defend! I suggest we move the Navy in to blockade southern Candy-Land, send three quarters of the forces in to assist Splonka with fighting the Lemonaders, keep 100 back here and send the rest off to Freak-Show in order to find Mr Fungles!" Mr Spoot nodded in agreement "ok Spiff, you have my permission, but send 100 of your men from finding Fungles to relieving the Church battles!"

The blessed Chris would like to inform the government of spooty of its intention to forge a bridgehead in southern Candy-land, in all likelihood a port, to facilitate a quicker resolution to the revolution. We can assure Spoot of our intention to reimburse the nation for any collateral damage incurred in the conflict, but feel compelled to alert Spoot to our intention to use tear gas to facilitate insertion into a port.

International Staging Area, Spootopolis
"There is still a heavy Worm prescence within the city. The raids yesterday, while achieving a high body count, did not turn up any leaders." said Comrade Major Golga.

"Today we must secure the elections of the Worker Committees, Comrade. Also we must reinforce our logisitics and communication lines with our bases in Freak Show and Candy-Land. Leave the Worms for now, till intel can give us more precise locations of where they may be hiding. Try to find out who is instigating the protest outside of Spoot Mansion. We have not been able to get our envoys back because of this protest. We already know of one of the main leaders, a Mr. Spatta, a radical labor official. Find out more about his background."

Outside Spoot Mansion
Spoot protestors forced Plutocratican BTR-80's to leave the city center.

Telegram From Mr Spoot to The blessed Chris

Any process which will end the revolution more quickly is worth the price that must be payed, go ahead with your plan, you have our full support.

The squad of elite Jumbo Paper Clip warriors landed in Spootopolis and soon bought several hotel rooms.

"We have learned that the Worms may have captured Mr.Fungles, leader of Spoot."

"I wonder... how much would it cost to buy Mr. Fungles?"

Jack "Arsehole Judge" Bottam, Freak Show

"They want to buy Mr Fungles? Well tell them that we will settle for $1,000,000 that'll be enough to further arm our peoples!"

"1 million bucks. Not that bad, for an international leader anyway."

"Right, pretty much fits in our super secert budget. Lets find out where we can meet the Worm kidnappers and get the package. Then lets establish communications with the halflings. Remember, our true agenda is to advance their power so that we can build favors with them for use later."

Dock side, s. Candyland; As the landing boats departed from the naval escort vessels, their cargo anxious to proceed in the pacification of the ragamuffins, the cruiser "Oppugno" fired a salvo of gas shells into the compact urban slums of the dockside. The shells arced elegantly into the slums, spewing their gaseous contents into the surrounding streets. Revolutionaries clasped at their eyes and throats as the combination of tear gas and mustard gas deprived them of both sight and respiration.

Upon one of dozens of non-descript landing vessels, Adeptus Custodians General Durthue observed the unfolding chemical assualt, and though it disconcerted him to be party to such transgressions, he was aware of his responsibilities to the restoration of order in this region, and bid such thoughts away. Suddenly the shrill sound of proximity alarms woke him from his reverie, and he withdrew his submachine gun, riot shiled and assualt baton from their locker simulatneously to his comrades. As the landing ramp descended upon the rough concrete dockside, the absence of suppressive fire emanating from the alerted to him to the effectiveness of the gas, its presence invisable to him through his respirator. Whilst the assembled riot forces established a defensive perimeter amongst the undulating streets of the slums, Durthue bade the naval taskforce to approach and dock in the subjagated harbour.

Mr Fungles, Freak-Show/Spootopolis Border

The Van was moving through thick traffic, it was being slowly pushed towards a Checkpoint manned by 5 Ringleaders, soon it came to be the Vans turn to be checked, the Ringleaders surrounded the vechile, before the driver put his foot to the floor and sped away, the Ringleaders fired after them and the vechile began to wave across the road, it eventually hit a pothole and span off the road, the Worms got out and fleed being persued by Ringleaders, Mr Fungles, his hands still bound, was dragged out, this was either going to be a worm or a Ringleader, he prayed to Floyd that it was a ringleader, instead he was met by a young Teenager, a broken bottle in one hand and a bottle of mirky looking Lemonade in the other.

Camp Liberation, Freak-Show
"Reports of a van that escaped a Ringleader checkpoint. Lemonaders believed to be present."

3 G-77 BTR-80 APC's rushed to the scene of the van crash on the Stoopolis-Freak Show border.

Stoop Mansion
The protesting body has discovered to be mainly made up of former refugees, university students, and unemployed and low wage workers. They are being led by a Stoop named Mr. Spatta, a radical labor official who has claimed to be creating a Communist Party of Stoopy. They now demand a freeze in prices the rise of prices and the drop of wages, a higher minimum wage, and a low basic minimum income for unemployed and those in poverty. The protestors think this will go far to rectify Spooty's 0% expenditure on Social Welfare. The protestors have congratulated the government in its spending on education and healthcare.

Report to G-77 on the Progress of the Stoopolis Worker Committees
The elections have gone well. There are 20 regions of Stoopolis that are now under the governance of Worker Committees. Flyodian Church and labor union
officials as well as community leaders are playing an important role as representatives of the proletariat. Each region has drafted legislation that will rid their area of Lemonaders and Worms, however attacks will not begin till a state wide Worker Council is created through direct elections by the people. Till then, the local Worker Committees will send a representative to the interim state wide Worker Council called the Committee of Public Safety. Mr. Spatta, the leader of a large protest that has surrounded the Spoot Mansion, is running of a platform of creating not only a state wide Worker Committee but a nationwide Council of People's Commissars which he would be the chairman of. He has said that "this is the great unfinished business of the democratic revolution. Economic equality is the essence of democracy!" He is expected to lead the state wide Committee of Public Safety. The largest debates existing at the local level is support for a Communist movement and the protest outside the mansion. We should encourage anything that advances worker solidarity and equality, but we must use our influence to contain any violent movements against the friendly Spooty national government.

Stoopolis Industrial Areas
There are rumors of a plot to seize factories in Stoopolis. Many workers have gone on strike and demand "closed shop" factories (meaning that only union members can join the factory and that this union would negotiate with management for wage increases. It is not certain if these groups are acting with the Plutocratica supported Worker Committees.

Mount Spooteh
The civil disruption had shut off supplies of the small volcanic state. "This shall be foundation of our church."

A cloaked man called town hall meeting with the 500 Spoot citizens of Mount Spooteh.

"Fellow brothers and sisters. What you are witnessing is the end of a violent era. We are heading towards the age of Equality. This is the teaching of Mongongoism. For hundreds of thousands of years, mongongo nuts like these," said the man as his hand swept across baskets of nuts and fruits, "then the soil contaminators came. They took seeds and grew them in the soil, selecting not the great diversity that existed in nature, but a few high carbohydrate plants. This brought about propertied classes, political leaders, inequality, the loss of equality for women, slavery, war, poverty, and crowded cities that became a breeding ground for disease. This was called agriculture. My brothers and sisters! You have seen the destruction agriculture has brought us! We must again regain our collective unconscious! Take these mongongo nuts and fruits. Let the spirit of the Mongongo reveal itself to you!"

The Mount Spootehians tasted the sweet sweet nectar of the mongongo fruit and fell to the floor in ecstacy. The cloaked man ran for election to govern Mount Spooteh and to preach more about Mongongoism. He promises to keep supplies coming to the state from a budding nation within the Kalahari Desert. Shall he be elected by the people of Mount Spooteh?

"When are we going to hear back from those Worms?"
"We ought to go look for them maybe..."
"Are you nuts?! There's armed Spoots crawling all over the place looking to blow a hole in any Worm or Lemonader they see! The government is under siege by commies! You want to go out there?"
"We'll wait for some sign by the Worms. If it doesn't happen soon, we'll send a team out to find out what happened."
"Contact Spooty Spootson and tell him that Jumbo Paper Clips supports halfling soverignity."

The people of the Mountain arose from their pleasurable experience, they took what was left of the nut's and left to their homes, did they eat the nuts? No, Did they grow them? No, They took the nuts and they experimented on them attempting to find a reason as to why they produced such great ecstacy, some of the Volcanolagist population sent off samples to Silli Splonka that he may attempt to grow the plant and use it in his chocolate, it seemed an excellent replacement to the methylenedioxymethamphetamine that was used in all previous forms of Splonkas bars, what had the Volcanologist's learned from the experience? Volcanology was not the only science, from that day onwards half the population had vowed to take up Biology.

Silli Splonka, Candy-Land

"here did these smaples come from?" Splonka asked his Aide "from up Mount Spooteh, apparently they were given out by a religous group." Splonka was interested when he heard "religous group" the Floydist's had been bad enough, now he may have to deal with more rediculous nuts "attempt to track these people down, get as many of these nuts as you can!"

Mr Fungles, Somewhere in Spootopolis

The Lemonader had taken Fungles deep into the slums, Fungles prayed that he would not be shot, or killed, he was dragged into a house where 2 other men sat playing cards, "hey, it's that dude who rules!" One of the group said "Yeah, it's me, could you let me go?" Fungles asked, he knew the answer would be no, but it was worth a shot "yeah sure dude, I loved your TV program on SKB!" This was a shock, but hey Fungles wasn't going to complain, the cords around his wrists and his legs were cut, he ran off towards Spoot mansion.

Worms Communique To Jumbo Paper Clips

Lemonader's have taken Fungles from us, we will attempt to retreive him but do not hold your breath, it is a state of pure wreckless chaos out there, I would not like to be the people we are now torturing for information on Fungles current wherabouts.

Stoop Mansion

The Protestors outside Stoop Mansion turned into mobs of joyous Stoop citizens as they say Mr. Fungles running towards the Stoop Mansion. They ran, tears running down their faces, and lifted the surprised Mr. Fungles and carried him to the front of the mansion. After doing so they went back to protesting for more social spending.

"What?!?! Look at the TV!"
"Yea... Mr. Fungles?! Back in the Stoop Mansion? But... how?"
"No matter. Our teams will be in Freak Show soon enough. Then he'll wish he didn't have to deal with the halfling secession movement."

Stoop Mansion

The Protestors outside Stoop Mansion turned into mobs of joyous Stoop citizens as they say Mr. Fungles running towards the Stoop Mansion. They ran, tears running down their faces, and lifted the surprised Mr. Fungles and carried him to the front of the mansion. After doing so they went back to protesting for more social spending.

(OOC: Spoot mansion)

Mr Fungles, Spootopolis

Mr Fungles walked up to the front door and fished around in his pockets for his keys, the door swung open to reveal Mr Spoots half brother Mr Botham, "erm, hello, could you let me in i need to surpress these revolts for a bit." Fungles said, he almost had to shout over the voices of the protesting crowd in the background.

Candy-Land

A brick like object smashed through Mr. Splonka's window. Soon a hologram of an African tree arose from it. It's brillance was unlike any other in the world. Then a voice came out of the brick:

"So you wish to know the origin of those nuts, Mr. Splonka? The Mongongo Nut? As you can see, it is not... a nut that you can crack so easily, no? You have heard that these came from religious zealots, correct? Ah, but there is so much more, so much more than what you have heard. So you wish to learn of Mongongoism, Mr. Splonka. You should learn from it through noone other than me, Hubutu Jenwawaneenee. Don't worry about trying to find me... the entire African Union has been unsuccessful in that attempt, as they shall remain in their endevors. I shall contact you. Till then, if you wish to have more Mongongo Nuts and Mongongo Fruit Nectar for your products, you shall back the local Mongongo Church representative in Mount Spooteh. Have him elected, have Ringleaders or Plutocraticans secure a transportation line from Mount Spooteh to Candy-Land, and you will have your supply.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nationstates News South Africa: "Violence in Botswanna has been stepped up in what is now being called the Nut Offensive. Mongongoist nomadic terrorists have succeeded in a series of car bomb attacks and have shut down the government. The attacks are being associated with Nomad Extremist Jenwawaneenee who is known for his inflamatory speech at the Nomadic Council for Mongongo Development, a group that is comprised of mostly peaceful nomads and bushmen that simply want to be left alone by the government and do not wish to impose their ways on others, where he attacked the West, the Band 8 efforts and G-8 protestors:

"Make Poverty History is such a joke. Everyone should wish they were in poverty like the nomadic peoples of the Kalahari Desert. We have all the Mongongo Nuts we could ever want. Our diets are filled with protein and are low in bad carbohydrates. We train monkeys to fetch us water. We entertain ourselves by getting animals drunk on fermenting fruit. We can commit animal cruelty like this without worrying that someone will arrest or fine us. Can you? I ask again, can you? This is but one measurement of the amount of freedoms prohibited in Agriculturalist despotism. We shall rid ourselves of their so called “wealth” and imperialist hegemony We shall squeeze their heads as we squeeze the water out of plant roots. If they set one foot upon our sacred nomadic lands we shall rise up and set our trained monkeys upon their armies and fleets of helicopters! Wassa Wassa Aye! Mongongo Revolution! [Applause]"

Splonka listened to the hologram all the way through, this was a tough decision, he did not know how to grow the plant and so needed a decent and quick supply, the only way to do so would be to back the Mount Spooteh elections, but did Splonka want another group of Zealots running round claiming to be hearing voices from Prog Rock bands?

Telegram From Silli Splonka to... to... wherever Hubutu Jenwawaneenee is

We will back you in these elections, but please answer me this, why is it that you wish to rule over the smallest least populated State in all of Spooty? surely a choice such as Spootopolis or Maskerade would be better?

The cloaked Mongongoist walked through the Red Mafia controlled city and watched as Soviet era tanks rolled down the streets. He walked straight up to the nearest Lemonader and took him by the neck and slammed the terrified teenager into the wall. The Lemonader's eyes were filled with terror.

"Listen here boy. I am recording everything that is being said. You will then give this recording to the highest level commander you can get to." The man took out a small box that looked like no other recording device the boy had ever saw. "That Lemonade crap that you sell on the streets, its good, but its nothing compared to what you COULD be making. What I have here," The man took a strange looking fruit and squeezed its contents onto a cloth, "is far better than anything grown on your dirt filth agricultural Lemon farms. It is the fruit of the Manketti/Mongongo tree. With these fruits, every person that tastes your new "lemonade" will be hooked and follow your command. Imagine what I am offering, not just obsessed customers, but a powerful army that will follow your every whim. Far better than anything these Agricultural-Industrial Russians can offer you. If you wish to learn more, have your cronies build a bon fire on the outskirts of this port city. I will find you."

The man shoved the box into the boy's hands and told him to keep the box. Later, when he reached his commander it replayed the message.

"Now, for your patience. Report what Revelation and Enlightenment feel like in your feeble Agri-Industrial language." The man shoved the fruit nectar laced cloth down the Lemonader's throat and let him fall to the floor. The boy began to choke violently till the cloth came out of his throat. Then the nectar began to have its effect and he fell into an ecstatic seizure. In his trance he saw a glowing light, all the earth in harmony, the dawn of a new age, a tree with roots reaching into vast universal waters, its branches flowing out to the furthest reaches of the universe. The cloaked man was gone.

"Man that was so F*cking trippy i was jus' wasted like six seven hours after, we like totally need to find this dude." The Lemonader was telling his buddies "Dude, NOTHING compares to my weed, that cloth sh*t you took was probably laced with some sh*t, it was probably just another one of them crazy Floydist's, i mean yeah Pink Floyd good and all that, but do we really need a religon?" The stoners agreed and began to smoke on their bongs, pipes and spliff's once more, they had totally forgotten what had happened five minutes before, the effects of a drug addled mind.

Candy-Land

The Brick quickly responded to Splonka's unspoken thoughts.

"Oh Mr. Splonka. We shall have Spootopolis soon enough. But yes, I shall need your help later to do this. For now though, you shall need to test my product. Yes, do all your industrial experiments, get that out of your system. For you see Splonka, the Mongongo Nut cannot be grown in agricultural fields. You will take its strongest essence, just as mankind became corrupted when they left their Garden of Eden. No Mr. Splonka, this is not a religious movement, although few know this. Thank you for your support building the church in Mount Spooteh. Your help shall be needed later. If you play your cards right you may be in a position of great influence in the New Dawn. Just watch the television for the Sign. It is close at hand. And be cautious of foreigners and their plans.

"We shall have Spootopolis soon enough"

These words shook through Splonka's head, Spootopolis, the capitol, if that fell to foreign powers, we'd all be doomed, he quickly wrote out on a small sliver of paper, SS found FP plans to take SO need RG to MS, he knew the code, but did the Mongongian? He passed the note onto a halfling who scuttled off, a more important question popped into Splonka's head, did Spiff know the code? "Please, do tell, what is your overall plans, what are you getting out of this?"

The cloaked man waited for the bonfire that never came. He spoke into his radio. "Brother, I think the lemonaders have not taken to the fruit."
"Their loss, we shall work within the establishment then.:
"Is it? A loss?"
"Hmmm, perhaps not."
"How are converts in Spootopolis."
"Everything is going exactly as planned. The rebellion is taking its toll on the faith of the people. They come looking for answers. Soon they will wittness the Sign. Then we shall broadcast our message."
"But first, Mount Spooteh, it must establish a Mongongoist Church."
"It will. And we have backing from within the Spooty government."
"Excellent. The Lemonaders have not joined us. They have betrayed their roots. Those who are not with us..."
"...are against us. They shall be consumed in the fires of Justice."

OOC:Just for the record, the Red Tide Mafia is semi-affiliated with the Red Tide Goverment. Mainly the Mafia is allowed to get a black market monopoly in Red Tide by bribing the Goverment.
IC:
By the time the representative from the Choclate arrived, a full Red Tidean Brigade(5,000 men) and a regiment worth of men had offloaded. When the representative drove up to the town he found the entrance being gaurded by two T-90 MBTs and a single 125mm KA-15 Anti-Tank Gun, as well as a Red Tidean platoon(50 men) worth of Mafia thugs wearing ski masks. The man was waved through the checkpoint after he and his car had been thoroughly checked, he was even given directions to the docks incase he wanted to buy anything.

Telegram From General Apathy Xof, General of The Armed Forces of Teh Hax, to Ghe Buevra.

2nd Brigade of the ARTH 22nd Mechanized Infantry Division has arrived in Spootopolis. They will conduct Stability Operations, until new orders are given. 3rd and 4th Brigade will arrive by tommorow. That is all.

Mr Spiff got a small wet smeared peice of paper it read, S... fo...d ...P p... to take S... ...ed RG to MS. What did this note mean? The Ringleader who was getting his breath back on the stairs began to explain, "I got it sir... From a Dwarf, he didn't speak." A Dwarf? RG to MS? RG that could have meant Ringleader Guard? The Dwarf could have been a Spoot Halfling, a Halfing plan to take Spootopolis? No the Halflings were peaceful terrorists, then what? Could it be a Lemonader plot to screw with their minds? That was probably it, yes it must be, he screwed up the paper and threw it into a nearby bin.

The States were all in a case of immediate lock-down, this was a problem for a small contingency of 6 skinheads who were now hiding in a cave at the base of Mount Spooteh, they were planning a way out into Maskerade, earlier that day they had the misfortune of losing Mr Fungles, but this would not be the end.

However, the skinheads soon ran into the more trouble, the last one of their lives. A group of 100 shotgun wielding Mount Spootehians had closed off the enterance into the cave. The impassioned crowd was part of the new Church of Mongongoism and was ready to serve the cause of the ancient virtues of Nomadic Humanist Naturalism. 1 skinhead was killed and another was seriously injured. The glarring sun burned bright in their eyes which had become accustomed to the darkness of the cave. They saw a cloaked man yelling and pointing at them, as well as villagers gathering wood and cord.

(OOC: a few minor problems
1. Where did the Shotguns come from?
2. Not once did i mention the Mount Spootehians converting to your religon, even if they did they would no doubt start to face agression from the Church of Floyd, the Hammers, the Worms, the Ringleader Guard and virtually every splinter cell and zealot in Spooty
3. your posting my losses which is a godmod, granted the Worms would not survive burning at the stake did you really have to RP them being shot and killed?
4. Watch Pink Floyd: The Wall for the psychology of your average Worm, they would not so easily let zealots drag them off to the stake, even armed zealots would not do the trick
5. oki so the Mount Spootehians are burning Worms at the stake, as much as they'd love to do so it is not in their nature, they are simple peaceful scientists

most of these points im pretty lax with but the Godmodding needs editing out)

Skinheads are worms... forget it then. Post never happened.

However, 100 people claiming to be Mount Spootehians (for propaganda purposes) with shotguns supplied by... have entered Mount Spooteh. I remember reading that Mount Spooteh has only 500 people so it would be very unlikely that this many people would have converted, and since they seem peaceful, they would not get shotguns. Since there is no reason to think any conversion would have happened (the last Spooty post showed that the Mount Spootehians didn't even eat much of the Mongongo Nuts.)

For clarification, 100 people (I was going to mention the oddities later, and how they really can't be Spootian but foriegn insurgents, but now I see that the skinheads are Worms, oops) claiming to be Mount Spootian coverts with shotguns are roaming around bringing "Justice" to people they think are bad.

and the Worms are still in the cave, very safe. And not dead.

(OOC: very cool)

Mr Spiff, Maskerade

"Sire, 100 armed men claiming to be of a new church have taken up positions in Mount Spooteh!" An aide rushed over to Spiff who was fresh back from his visit to Spootopolis "dammit! Take 200 men from Candy-Land, if they get violent or breech the regional borders have them shot! Inform the Hammers of this new Church, they may be able to assist"

Telegram to whoever is running Spooty now (Fungles?)

We hate to say it, but Plutocratica feels a little bit responsible for stirring up the protesters outside of the Spoot Mansion. I'm sure they mean no harm. We have brought in APC's that will fire a skunk-smelling type liquid at the protesters if they do not disperse. Just give us the command and we'll say you had nothing to do with it. We are happy to tell you that the international force has been completing its tasks very well. But without proper knowledge about the amount of Worms in any given area, we cannot know if we are making any progress. However we did blow up alot of stuff. That always counts for something. :sniper:

The 100 Mongongoists escorted the 2 trucks to the border where they meet Ringleaders.

"We mean no harm to those who do not wish harm on others."
"These trucks are to be delivered to Candy-Land. They are for Splonka. He had ordered these products."

The 100 Mongongoists then walked (actually skipped) away.

Mr Fungles, Spootopolis

After a shower and a change of clothes Fungles was taken up to meet with Spoot, he knew that there would no doubt be a heated debate about who should rule now, Fungles had a plan already, he was going to give up the rule of the country to Spoot until the up and coming elections where it would be decided who would rule over Spooty.

(OOC: Umm..wtf do i do?)

Ringleader Guards, Mount Spooteh

"We are under orders, no-one is to leave this area, if you want to cross you'll need it confirmed by Spiff." The lead Ringleader told the Mount Spootehns

The tired team of Task Force Red Clip finally reached Freak Show.

"Okay," said commando Juglaka while panting, "now to find a halfling. That can't be hard. Can it?"

"No of course not." After several hours of harassing children and small people, the task force had not found where the halflings live.

"We need to get in contact with them so that we can declare Jumbo Paper Clips' intention to back their movement."

A Halfling had been informed that a group was looking for them, he told Spooty Spootson who ordered all his men off the streets and into hiding spots, he sent out a nimble Halfling out to talk to the men and find out what they wanted.

The trucker stared at the guards and spoke in a North Eastern Nambian accent, "Look, we're here to deliver these nuts to Sponkla or Sponky or something in a place called Candy-Land. We have been tailed by those "escorts" who just left and we can't take much more of your strange enchanted happy country. Call Mr. Spiffy if you wish. Somebody wanted these nuts, and we aren't allowed to leave till they get to the guy in Candy-Land."

"Hey, and just between us, those shotgun wielding wierdos were talking 'bout mongongos, right? Well, there's bad people in Botswanna that are doing the same, so if I were you, I'd keep an eye on them. And let us deliver these nuts too."

"We are keeping an eye on them, you say that the're Mongongon's? What else can you tell us about them? If you tell us then we'll let you through."

The trucker responded, "I don't know if they're mongongons. They said they were from here. Mount Spootfy. They kept telling us that everyone here was going to Wittness the New Dawn after the Sign. They seem harmless, well except for the shotguns of course. I don't know what a Mount Spooteeian looks like. But I can tell you what's going on in Botswanna. Then you gotta let us go!"
"In Botswanna there's been some conflict between the government and peoples living in the Kalahari, like the Bushmen. Have you ever seen the movie, The Gods Must Be Crazy? Well those people are Bushmen. They are a happy folk who never bothered anyone. Well these Mongongoists then came around. They said then when people began farming humanity was corrupted. There's a couple of books they have. They basically say agriculture was the worse mistake in the world, causing overpopulation, inequality, etc. Course nobody will believe them. Pretty soon, the extremists got tired of waiting around and starting acting without orders from the other nomadic hunter-gatherer groups."
"Now you need to lets us go through! Call Sponkla or Spiff, he wanted this stuff, that's why we're here!"

"ok, we'll let you through but the other checkpoints may not be so lax." The offivcer waved the Truck through before walking back over to his team-mates "Get me Mr Spiff, we may need more men!"

One of the Task Force members moved towards a strange small little person that waddled up to them.

"Oh hello little girl, what do you want."
Then another Task Force member came over to him and whispered something.
"Ohhhhh. I see. The Grand Disputed Territories of Jumbo Paper Clips is proud to send a representative to the Halfling population. In our deepest convictions that all peoples should have a homeland and acknowledging the terrible... oppression... of your peoples, Jumbo Paper Clips shall aid your strong, proud nation in its attempts to liberate itself. But first, two questions. Do you know of any safer place to carry on this meeting where we will be absolutely certain that nobody will blow us up? And was your country always like this or did it just recently become a hellhole?"

The two trucks were speeding towards the Maskerade-Candy-Land border. At their accelerating speeds, the trucks would be unable to stop at the checkpoint.

One of the Task Force members moved towards a strange small little person that waddled up to them.

"Oh hello little girl, what do you want."
Then another Task Force member came over to him and whispered something.
"Ohhhhh. I see. The Grand Disputed Territories of Jumbo Paper Clips is proud to send a representative to the Halfling population. In our deepest convictions that all peoples should have a homeland and acknowledging the terrible... oppression... of your peoples, Jumbo Paper Clips shall aid your strong, proud nation in its attempts to liberate itself. But first, two questions. Do you know of any safer place to carry on this meeting where we will be absolutely certain that nobody will blow us up? And was your country always like this or did it just recently become a hellhole?"

"only recently it become hellhole, life good before, Lemonaders cause all bad" The small man said in a deeply high pitched nasal voice

The two trucks were speeding towards the Maskerade-Candy-Land border. At their accelerating speeds, the trucks would be unable to stop at the checkpoint.

The Ringleaders could see the Trucks heading at increedible speads towards them, they got ready loding their rifles cocking them and aiming, they waited for their officers command, and "FIRE!" shards of glass, stone and wood flew from each Blunderbuss, the Ringleaders took their Rifles and loaded them cocked them and aimed again, if the Truck didn't stop they would fire again.

The trucks went off the road, mongongo nuts flying everywhere. It was discovered that the truckers had been dead long before the Ringleaders had opened fire. Indeed, on closer inspection, they had been murdered!

Telegram From Officer Splunk to Mr Spiff

From what we heard from a Trucker these peoples are a Church in Botswana, they are possibly in colabiration with Mr Silli Splonka, if so i suggest we double our forces in this area.

Telegram From Officer Sprink to Mr Spiff

Truck containing unknown fruit fired upon outside Candy-land border, drivers found dead at the scene, cause of death, unknown, suggest we send men to investigate the point of origin.

Ghe Buevra, Spootopolis International Staging Area

"We haven't gotten any message from the Spoot government. I'm afraid that now that Fungles has returned there will be a power struggle. I knew we should have secured our forces within the mansion." said a depressed Comrade Buevra.

"What is to be done with the protesters? Soon the Worker Committees will be electing people to the State Wide Worker Council. But without support from the national government..."

"We are an International Stabilization force! We must be stirred to action! Disperse the protesters and allow the Spooty government to continue its functions!"

Spoot Mansion
The BTR-80's rushed into the City Centre and began raining stinky skunk smelly liquid on the protesters. The G-77 APC's blasted through megaphones, "Go back to your homes and advance worker's rights through the political process!" The protesters who did not like the smell quickly dispersed. The trapped Plutocratican envoys ran into the APC's and were brought back to the G-77 base.

Spoot agreed to Fungles proposition, at least when the elections came around he would have a chance to re-take power using political means, this did not stop the country wide riots though.

Telegram to Spoot National Government

We apologize for any injuries sustained by your riotious citizens when we sprayed them with smelly skunk liquid. We express happiness at the return of Mr. Fungles, although we do not understand why he has not been returned to power. We hope to work with the government and your people.

Telegram From Mr Spoot to Plutocratica

All injuries sustained will be held responsible by the Spooty goverment, Mr Fungles believes that because i have more experience in tackling these disidents that i should continue to rule until the next elections.

OOC:Just for the record, the Red Tide Mafia is semi-affiliated with the Red Tide Goverment. Mainly the Mafia is allowed to get a black market monopoly in Red Tide by bribing the Goverment.
IC:
By the time the representative from the Choclate arrived, a full Red Tidean Brigade(5,000 men) and a regiment worth of men had offloaded. When the representative drove up to the town he found the entrance being gaurded by two T-90 MBTs and a single 125mm KA-15 Anti-Tank Gun, as well as a Red Tidean platoon(50 men) worth of Mafia thugs wearing ski masks. The man was waved through the checkpoint after he and his car had been thoroughly checked, he was even given directions to the docks incase he wanted to buy anything.

OOC:Hem, hem.

OOC:Hem, hem.

(OOC: oh, sorry, must have tripped out or somthing)

"I bring peaceful word from Silli Splonka, we hope that this, the finest chocolate in all of Spooty will persuade you to leave before violence erupts in our peaceful nation." the diplomat hoped that they would accept and that Spooty may be free.

OOC::Blinks: Okay... you do relise that you have only been waved through a checkpoint. So just follow the following.

IC:After driving to the docks, the Chocolate representative had been escorted by a Mafia thug into the ex-dock managers office. The drive to the docks had been particularly uneventful... although one would have noticed that a majority of the citizens APCs had been confiscated by the Mafia. Since the APCs were probably old soviet ones(like BMP-1s or BTR-60s) they had been taken apart for scrap metal to be sold, their machine guns would also be sold. The other noticable thing was the Black Marketeers were had set up shop, and were selling the citizens clothes, food, and other items at a rather inflated price(for example, 10 American Dollars more then usual for a single cluster of bannanas). The final noticeable change was the presence of Mafia thugs almost EVERYWHERE in the town, and they were acting like police men. Most of them were at the docks.

Inside the Ex-Managers office was a women sitting behind a desk. Next to her was a man in a buisness suit. The woman smiled when the Chocolate Representative walked in and began speaking in perfect English.

"Welcome to our little operation, my name is Irona Clairens. What can I do to you."

After the Chocolate Representative gave his little speech, Irona frowned.

"And you think we intend to leave a potential profit zone... why?"

Spootopolis International Staging Area
A Mechanized Corp has just landed in the area made up of T-90 Main Battle Tank brigade and three BTR-80 brigades. They also have an additional artillery unit. More infantry are expected to come tomorrow.

Red Thursday
The successful election of the Committee of Public Safety occurred on the night of Wednesday, August 25. Mr. Splatta, the radical labor official and leader of the newly formed Spoot Communist (with the blessing of the Plutocratican peacekeepers) Party, was made of leader of the council. A resolution was passed that called for the immediate “liquidation” of “enemies of the People.” The 20 local neighborhood councils, already having created such legislation, acted accordingly. Armed Spoot Workers and G-77 Forces are combing the streets for Lemonader counter revolutionaries. While the People’s Liberation Army of Plutocratica is also fighting the Worms, the Worker Committees have been awaiting approval from the government to begin forming more militias to fight the Worms. The atmosphere of Spootopolis has turned into a frenzy, as Lemonaders are chased down by angry mobs of former refugees. Plutocratican peacekeepers (or peacemakers) have also begun their own state wide terror campaign, breaking into houses and arresting or executing suspected Worms or Lemonaders. The ensuing chaos has caused some stores to shut down for safety purposes by Plutocratican Military Police (in order for storekeepers to be not accused of being Lemonader collaborators.) The City center was secured after the Plutocratican puppet protest... er, the Spoot protest of the national government’s indifference to Social Welfare spending, was dispersed by G-77 forces. The Spoot Mansion is now being secured by Plutocratican 12 BTR-80's and 3 T-80 tanks. There has been some social unrest from the relatively peaceful but insane Spoot population, who have been surprised by the actions of the peacekeeping forces and their fellow former refugee citizens. Plutocratica has introduced Radio Free Spooty, a radio station designed to inform Stoopy citizens of the peacekeeping operations and the progress of the Plutocratican backed Worker Committees.

Spootopolis, Camp Liberation, Freak Show-Plutocratican Ministry of Information officials have gone through the streets of Spint-Odo, aggressively passing out pamphlets and putting up propaganda posters for the anti-Lemonader/Worm Cause. The G-77 is actively recruiting Freak-Show residents to train and arm paramilitary units to go into Candy-Land in order to find and destroy Lemonader strong holds. Plutocratica also hopes to form an agreement with the Hammers in order to protect Floydian Churches from Worm onslaughts. The G-77 has also paid gangs of small children to go into the city center and sing the “Internationale” over and over, as well as campaign for the creation of Worker Committees and a state wide Worker Council to influence the political process of Freak State in favor of the under represented and working class. This was one attempt to bring the halfling population to back into peaceful dealings within the Spooty government.

Situation Report Within Spooty

Spootopolis
- This region has seen the largest deployment of land troops from the international community. While prospects are hopeful, the streets of the city of Stoopolis are nowhere near safe. Worms are reported to still roam the streets and are armed and dangerous. However, the peacekeeping forces have come up with some solutions.
#1: The creation of Neighborhood governing council in the form of Worker Committees. These councils allow active participation of citizens in the local governance of their area, which instills a sense of security, patriotism, and pride. Each of the 20 areas that have Worker Committees also has a defense force which is organized in any way the Committee so chooses. The arms and training are being provided by the Plutocratican G-77. Since most of the trained Spoots have come from the refugee camps set up by the G-77, Plutocratican forces are expected to remain largely in a defensive mode in the neighborhoods, training and recruiting more people in armed Worker militias and Partisan groups. As soon as G-77 forces deem the neighborhood councils as being self sufficient in defensive purposes, the peacekeeping operation will be able to take on a more offensive role against the Worms and Lemonaders. Each Worker Committee also has a representative in the state-wide Committee for Public Safety, which held elections yesterday. A direct election by the people of new representatives, will replace this interim governing council with the Council of People's Commissars of Stoopolis. The councils are expected to be able to function peacefully within the political process and allow for more active participation in government (boosting support for the national government in this time of crisis.) The G-77 also wishes to know if allowing the citizens to carry arms violates any weapon restrictions by the government of Spooty. Since the citizens frequently drive in APC’s with machine guns mounted on top of them, this was not expected to be a problem. The G-77 also is promoting the idea of creating a city wide curfew for all citizens who are not Ringleaders, government officials, or part of the Worker Committees or Worker Militias that are working with the international peacekeeping forces. An internal passport system has also been proposed, or at the very least, more travel restrictions.
#2: The creation of Radio Free Stoopolis. The radio station daily broadcasts news about operations within Stoopolis, the progress of the Worker Committees, and urges citizens to join the Resistance against the Worms and Lemonaders and train either at their local worker Committee location, or the Refugee center’s training zone. The radio also advances the Worker movement within Spooty, and has set up times for Socialist, Communist, and Worker Committee officials to speak to the public.
#3: The creation of the Refugee Camp in the International Staging area. This was the most urgent need after the landing of G-77 forces in the region. Displaced peoples were given essential needs such as food, water, housing within the tent areas, and access to basic sanitation and medical care. The G-77 plans to create more of these centers within the city of Stoopolis itself, possibly placed under the charge of the Worker Committees, so access can be brought to those that could not reach the Refugee camp. The camp has also been a recruiting ground for Stoop citizens who wish to fight back against the Worm/Lemonader threat. The G-77 thinks that more participation between the camp and the Church of Floyd would be constructive.

Candy-Land
Until Camp Revolutionary Vanguard is completed, offensive operations against Lemonader strongholds cannot take place. Problems in this region have been miscommunication between G-77 forces and Ringleader border controls which restrict the flow of logistics and support for the camp through the regions. However, since the Ringleaders must secure the borders, there is little that can be done about this. Also the G-77 is suspicious of the leader of the region, Mr. Silli Splonka.

Economic Situation Report in Spooty: Day Three

The report will focus on the nation as a whole, then certain troubled regions

Nationwide
Major concerns are rising inflation, unemployment, labor disputes, and security. As the purchasing power of each spoot erodes, confidence of Spoot citizens is declining. Hoarding as well as rushes on G-77 secured market areas have occurred. Bank runs may become problematic for small banks whose main source of deposits may come from farmers who cannot get their crops to market. The riots in Spootopolis have crippled Spoot confidence in the government, leading to less transactions that involve trust in a contract system backed by the Spooty courts. Once the government becomes fully functional again, these concerns should be alleviated. Corruption within the government, with possible Worm or Lemonader ties, should be investigated. The Spoot government should also dedicate its efforts to restoring transportation routes throughout Spooty. The fighting in Candy-Land has hampered the movement of goods into or out of the region. Spootopolis, which probably relies on trade with the other regions more, also has similar problems. With the civil disruptions occurring, transportation is becoming one of the larger components of the price increase. The disruption of foreign trade has also been cumbersome, although before the Insecurity Riots, Spooty was a net exporter. Many Spooty citizens drive gas guzzling APC’s, with the flow of oil slowing down, the situation may lead to a to a Road Warrior type catastrophe. As supply of goods declines and the purchasing power of the spoot decreases, the government should immediately disclose information about how much inflation has effected its currency. Commerce has come to a stop because of the Insecurity Riots, unemployment has rapidly increased. Workers are demanding wage increases as the prices of necessities increases, however management will probably be calling for wage decreases or higher levels of unemployment as workers become costlier to keep. The Spoot government should also investigate these claims and discover if this is true. More security is obviously needed.

Candy-Land
The fighting here by Lemonaders has caused massive internal displacement problems. Vital public utilities must be secured. War time inflation is crippling in many areas. For instance, in the area controlled by the Red Tide Mafia, prices have escalated dramatically. One example was an increase in ten US dollars for bananas. If the average cost of a pound of bananas in the US in 2000 was $0.49 and the we made the unprecedented assumption that bananas cost the same in the US as in Spooty, the cost would be about .47 spoots. 1 Spoot = $1.0592 before the Insecurity Riots. If ten US dollars are added, the new cost of bananas per pound is 9.99 spoots an increase of 21 times, or 2100%.

Mount Spooteh
This region is also expected to have troubles as Lemonaders have disrupted flow of trade into the region.

The Mafia had seized the port towns airstrip and turned it into a secondary base, old Soviet MiG-23 Interceptors and Su-24 Frogfoot Ground Attack Aircraft began to arrive. A section of the airport was turned into a weapons shopping area. There tanks, helicopters, and other weapons were put on display.

OOC: I'm not sure how people are landing in Candy-land from the ocean. Wouldn't they have to land in either Maskerade or Freak Show? Also, is Spootopolis on shore or inside Freak Show, like Mount Spooteh is inside Maskerade?

I thought Freak Show and Maskerade were on the coast, with Mount Spooteh in the center and Candy-Land on the very edge of Maskerade with a thin area of Maskerade blocking it from Freak Show. So how can people be landing by sea in Candy-Land?

Within the secure area the task force members proposes a most wonderous deal for the halflings.

"You see my little friends, Jumbo Paper Clips is in a postion to inform my region of your struggles in achieving self-governence. My region is full of suckers for nationalism. However, little can be done when nobody has heard of your struggle. What I need from you is some kind of message or manifesto of why you want to break off that I can show to the other nations. I'm sure they'll want to join once they learn of the horrid conditions halflings live in. Also, you might call more attention to yourself if you were to take a state that already exists, like... oh, how about Candy-Land? Why, halflings are a majority there already... I think. You could just take over that factory, and the international community will love to establish you as an independent friendly exporting nation. You should also think of storming the Spoot Mansion again. I know, I know... it probably seems really hard. Well, any day now the country is just going to collapse again. So, if we just send some hardcore halflings to Spootopolis right now, and what for the right moment, all we'd have to do is get past the few ringleaders that could be concentrated against us, the state and municipal police, the Plutocratican guards, then just swoop in and take Mr. Spoot and Fungles. We'll take 'em back and parade them around, and give our region an upper hand in negiotiation for your independence!

OOC: I'm not sure how people are landing in Candy-land from the ocean. Wouldn't they have to land in either Maskerade or Freak Show? Also, is Spootopolis on shore or inside Freak Show, like Mount Spooteh is inside Maskerade?

(OOC: oki, here is a crude attempt at dividing the lands, you see that my nation is infact shaped like England, as seen here (http://img175.echo.cx/img175/2184/travellingcircusofspoot2eg.png) now, Candy-Land occupies the area roughly equevilant to Wales, Spootopolis is London (concentrate now, heres where it gets complex) Maskerade is all the Northern and Midland counties and Freak Show is all the Southern counties, Mount Spoot is somewhere in the direct middle of Maskerade)

Spoot Halflings, Freak Show

"you have us dawbed wrong old bean, we are peaceful protesters who wish only to have our own state away from Freak Show, we do not wish harm upon any of our brethren, the Halflings in Candy-Land seem different do us, more orange, we do not like them as much, Tea?" The old Halfling held out a pewter teapot.

(OOC: This is just to respond to what you and Plutocratica are talking about. Has Spooty taken over Ninja States in those wars in the Ninja war?) I thought it was that little orange country.

(OOC:no, i was going to, but it didn't seem right for my nation to begin claiming land left right and center, also it's Scotland, or the equivilant of)

OOC: Oh! I thought the Red part was orange and the orange was some orangish brown.

(OOC: yeah, i need to clean upthe map, but right now i cant get into my image shack account, anywho...)

"Okay... well, how are you going to get a state? Hmmm. Hmmm? You tell me."

Report to Plutocratican Politburo:

Stoopolis- Operation Safe Streets

Frustrated over the lack of progress in the war against Lemonaders and Worms, the G-77 in coordination with the City and local Worker committees will be creating roadblocks and passes. A pass given by any of the Committees will be valid at all roadblocks. In order to get a pass, a series of tests and a background check will have to be undergone. The G-77 will be distributing passes to Church and government members today, the Committees will start using the pass once the roadblocks are constructed with proper security measures which may take 1-2 days to complete. The Worker Committees are formulating plans to send groups to go buy goods from the secured market areas and bring them back to their districts. The G-77 is planning similar actions in the areas not under control of the 20 Worker Committees, but must be cautious of not upsetting the local population. An expansion of the Worker council system is to be encouraged through a city wide campaign.

The Operation will also increase the raids on suspected Lemonaders and Worms. An emphasis on capturing instead of killing will be enforced. Captured Worms and Lemonaders will be held in the newly constructed detention center in the International staging Area to be interrogated, tortured, or executed... Church and Hammer members are encouraged to get any information out of the prisoners. Cooperative prisoners will be brought to prison cells with better conditions.

Is Robert "Pink" Tylerson still alive and within Tetris L-Shaped Block? We would be happy to cooperate with their government in a terror campaign against Worm leadership. Car bombs, assassinations, kidnaping, and so on.

Spoot Halflings, Freak Show

The small man poured out a thick lumpy black liquid into ten dented pewter cups "well the current suggestion is for the Ringleader Guard to move into the lands of the former Ninja empires, Mr Fungles see's this as being too militaristic and fears international backlash." The pewter cups were passed around until there was one left for the delegate from paper clips.

Telegram From Mr Spoot to Plutocratica

Mr Tylerson's current wherabouts is unknown, he could be residing anywhere from here to the other side of the world, a terror campaign within the lands of our allies would be a bad idea, the Worm's will collapse we must however be patient.

A Plutocratican solider walked into Mr. Fungles and Mr. Spoot's room.

"Here is your pass, comrade! We will be handing out passes to other officials that can be trusted for having no connection to Lemonaders and Worms. We ask you intelligence agency to do background checks on all your officials. Without these passes, your officials will still be able to travel without a problem through the roadblocks for the next couple of days."

"We shall also be putting an office downstairs so you can contact the G-77 at anytime. We'd also like to know if there are any five or four star hotels in the city to set up a command center with the city itself."

"You can also send some interrogators to the prison in the International Staging Area and try to find out more information about the Worms and Lemonaders."

Spootopolis- International Staging Area- Radio Free Spooty
"CRISIS! Labor unions along with members of several worker committees have seized control of several factories in the Spootopolis Industrial zone! Other works are staging sit down strikes in other factories in a show of solidarity. Communist Party leader Mr. Splatta has shown his support for the strikers. Plutocratican troops are being sent to negotiate with the strikers. Some of the nearby factories are being closed temporarily by the Plutocratican G-77 for their safety. The factory owners, acknowledging the desperate situation of their patriotic workers, will surely come to an agreement in the near future.

Mr Spoot, Spootopolis

"Passes? We are the rulers of this nation, why do we need passes to exist inside it, and why has Mr Splonka been left out of the list of passes?" Mr Spoot shouted, he was quite angry that control of his nation seemed to be slipping.

"The Clown would suggest that you ban all foreign involvment, the El Caudillo events taught me that lesson." Mr Fungles said in his annoying squeky voice, he helped himself to water from the water fountain.

Mr Splonka, Candy-Land

"Splonka, several of our sister factories are being siezed by rogue Communist's, what are we to do?" Amongst the growing forces outside his front door and the siezing of several ports, the fact that he had sold off mount Spooteh and the increasing suspicion surrounding Splonka's involvment, this was the last straw.

"Thats it! I'm leaving, this nation has torn my reputation to shred's, maybe Mr Spiff can solve the armies fighting in Candy-Land, tell the Spoota Loota's to pack their things, the Factory closes at midnight tonight!"

Telegram to Mr. Spoot
We would like to turn one of your 5 Zepplin Airships into a surveillance tool. We would put cameras on it and have it float above Spootopolis. It could track disturbances and give us a bird's eye view of trouble spots.

Mr Silli Splonka, Candy-Land

A small orange halfling dropped off a package onto Splonkas desk, Splonka took out his letter opener and ripped the parcel, he opened it to find 6 ariel photographs taken from the Airship Cocoa, it showed an army landing in his own state, "we cannot fight this! Send one a large batch of Splonkas Happiness Chocolate, try to negotiate them off our terrirtory."

As you can see, the airship Cocoa has been fitted already with a 1 frame a minute 24 film black and white recon camera, we will loan to your nation in the effort that you find whatever it is that you are looking for.

The solider, surprised and insulted, tried to correct the situation.
"Of course we will give passes to anyone you approve. We just wanted to give YOU, the sovereign rulers of Spooty, passes first. Splonka can be given a pass, although don't trust the little reactionary one bit and all other officials to. Remember comrades, these passes are a security measure that were made with the International security forces and the Worker Committees of Spoot citizens! This whole factory seizing phase will die down soon enough when the Worms and Lemonaders are disposed of. But we should defiantly look into this Splonka character. He's a counter revolutionary for sure!

Telegram to Mr. Spoot
Thank you comrade! Your genius and foresight have been invaluable!

OOC: Hurray! NS is back on!

The brick, that had strangely not been moved from Splonka's room for ironic reasons of poetic license, spoke again.

"I would be careful if I were you Splonka. This is a bad time for you, no? Your government is after you, Candy-Land is teeming with Lemonaders and communists, least we forget the Red Tide Mafia and hostile Plutocraticans setting up bases. Of course, I could have warned you that this was the inevitable conclusion of your Agricultural-Industrial society, but this certainly isn't a time for 'I told you so's.' Why don't you come to the Mongongoist Church in Mount Spooteh that your generous funds have helped build. My representative has much to discuss with you about our respective futures. This is but a cloud shade in the bright sky."

Candy-Land

With the Splonka factory now empty it was only a matter of time before someone took power. The gates of Splonka's grand factory were torn down, and Lemonaders rushed in, they threw bricks through windows and sprayed profanity over the walls, they sacked chocolate stashes and took Splonka's valuble secret methods for making his Chocolate and Drinks.

Mr Spoot, Spootopolis

"So which officials have you deemed revolutionary?" Spoot asked in a condescending manner, he was almost asking to push the soldier over the edge.

"I apologise for Mr Spoot's behaviour" Fungles stared over at the former ruler "he has been living at the top of Mount Spooteh for a while now, the lack of air may have got to him" Fungles whispered "but please do tell us, which of our officials are we to investigate?"

OOC::Blinks: Okay... you do relise that you have only been waved through a checkpoint. So just follow the following.

"And you think we intend to leave a potential profit zone... why?"

OOC:PSSST!

(OOC: i have to start concentrating more)

"We don't intend for you to leave this area, merely to, you know, not take over the entire country, but i personally like what you've done with the place."

"Comrades," the jolly solider chuckled, "it's your country! Your crisis. If you feel the government is safe, the worker committees, whose loyalty is unquestioned, will give passes to all government worker."

"But... be careful of the Splonka! He is a traitor! We have just received information that he is going to desert us! Yes! Leave Candy-Land in our greatest time of need! Comrades, I think that it is time that we investigate this capitalist collaborator and find out just what his plans are. He seems to also be in contact with a group of foreigners that roam in cloaks talking about nomadism. We've found some of them roaming the streets of Spootopolis on our raids. Just give us the command, and the G-77 will deploy some troops to intercept Splonka and take him to a secure location to govern Candy-Land within Camp Revolutionary Vanguard! This is a time for action comrades! We must crush the Lemonader threat!"

Irona smiled, "Why thank you, we dont intend on occupying the country, just this town until this little war is over. Do you want to buy any items from our inventory? Or do you want help smuggling anything?

It had been a strange couple of days in Mount Spooteh. With the slowing down of goods and services to the state, the arrival of the strange cloaked villagers had been received with mixed emotions. They were helpful. They had been planting trees in random areas (they claimed that planting them in rows resembled hated agriculture). They had collected fruits, berries, and nuts for the citizens. But they also carried shotguns, for "the protection of Mount Spooteh." They claimed to be Mount Spootehians, but they neither talked or looked like Mount Spootehians. They were a strange group, and even stranger was the structure they were building. Where were they getting the funds?

"There seems to be a lot of movement. They have their aircraft outside now." said a cloaked man outside the Red Tide Mafia controlled city into his radio.

"Our affair is just with Spootians. When the Sign arrives, it must not effect the Mafia, or at least not too much."

"I can't believe it, a triple Revelation in Spootopolis, Candy-Land, and upon the brutal occupiers in Botswanna. The world shall soon stand in Wittiness!"

3 BTR-90 Armored Personnel Carriers and a ZSU-23-4 Self Proppelled Anti-Aircraft Gun rolled out of the port town, flying low overhead was a single SU-24, missiles and bombs could be seen hanging from the hard points, their destination? A village at the base of Mount Spooteh

1st Infantry Division has arrived to 'stabilize' the situation. Furthermore, the Armed Forces of Teh Hax has ordered its troops to follow a zero tolerance policy. If a civilian even throws a stone at our troops, they will be authorized to fire.

I don't really give a damn if its just a bunch of kids trying to impress their friends. If they start the shit, then we'll end it.

Mount Spooteh
"We must see if anything has happened to Splonka. He has not responded."

His commander hesitated. "Send 5 teams. Ten to each. Find Splonka. But, if you find him, he must be treated with the greatest of care. Not one hair on his head is to be harmed. Do you understand me! He is of to great of importance. Find him, bring him back here."

Soon the teams departed into Candy Land.

Greetings, Comrades! I am Ghe Buevra, leader of the Plutocratican peacekeeping forces. You are here to battle the Lemonaders in Candy-Land. If you need to base your troops anywhere, we have already constructed Camp Revolutionary Vanguard in Candy-Land. It has supplies and a secured supply line reaching back to the International Staging Area in Spootopolis. Be careful when going into new regions since the Ringleaders (the native military) will stop you at check points. Enjoy your stay and killing Lemonader Counter Revolutionary traitors!

This is General Xof of the Armed Republic of Teh Hax. Our forces will begin combat operations in Candy-Land ASAP. Our objective is to restore stability and crush any rebellion in Spooty. But before this is carried out, we need a situation report about the number of hostiles in Spooty and what kind of equipment they are using. Also we would like to know if there is a friendly airstrip nearby. Thank you for your support.

Comrade Golga came into the room. "We have good news and we have bad news."

"Bad news. As always."

"We can confirm now that Splonka has left. Lemonaders will take over the Splonka factory soon."

"Damn that Splonka! I always knew he was a capitalist traitor! How could the national government have been duped by such a cowardly character! Deploy several units from Camp Revolutionary Vanguard. Capture him and bring him back to the Camp. We must find out the best areas to defend from Lemonader attacks!"

"Also, the government has become suspicious of our involvement in Spooty."

"What? We cannot do anything about what is going on. We need more information. The Worm leadership isn't showing up. It's impossible to find them. Don't they know that the Worker Committees are just doing what is in the best interest of the People? There should be more them, to counter act the stupidity of those like Splonka."

"The good news is that Camp Revolutionary Vanguard has just received its last reinforcements. Also, our bombers and fighters are landing in the International Staging Area Air Strip. We should ask Mr. Spoot if we can use the nation's airports."

"Excellent. If this is the cause then there is no time to wait. Soon our secret weapon shall be unveiled, and victory shall be ours against the Lemonaders. Send out our forces, crush all the Lemonaders in our way. Get the factory back from the Lemonaders!"

Unfortunately, we do not know much more about the instability in Candy-Land as we have just recently finished our base, Camp Revolutionary Vanguard. There is a primitive air strip that needs to still be fixed. Our base at the International Staging Area in Stoopolis will be much more suited. There are also airfields in Spooty that you will probably be able to use once you have received permission from the government. The Lemonaders we have encountered have small arms, sometimes they only have broken bottles. They are attempting to coerce the population in order to make up for fund lost during the riots. We seek to make sure they can never set up operations in the country again. They will probably be easy to kill, but be on guard since they may try to blend in as civilians. Most of Candy-Land is inhabited by orange halflings that work in the Splonka factory. Our intel has yet to discover the location of Eric Dutch, leader of the Lemonaders.

A task force member ran in to tell the Jumbo Paper Clipian the good news.

"Little halflings! Wonderous news, Splonka has abandoned his factory and the state of Candyland! The orange halflings are all leaving now too! What more do you need! It is your destiny. Just go and seize the factory and the state of Candy Land. Surely Spootopolis will have no problem if you take a state that has been abandoned! I shall go tell my region of your predicament. They'll send in troops and you'll be good to go! Come halflings! Think of it, a state of your own! All that chocolate, all those expensive exports..."

Telegram to The Plutocratican Peacekeeping Forces

Thank you for the information. We will send out regular 'presence' patrols into Candy Land to show these Lemonaders that we mean business.

Telegram to The Government of Spooty

We request permission to use your airfields for our military purposes.

"Who we tryin to find anyway?"

"Some guy named Eric Dutch."

"Whats so special about him?"

"Command says that he's the reason why we're here. So the sooner we kill him, the better."

"Heh, I don't really give a damn as long i hav..."

Aerok's voice was cut off by an explosion to the left side of the LV-08.

"Dohtem! Get your ass on the MG NOW!"

"Hostiles 3 o'clock!"

"HQ, we are under attack by unknown hostiles. We have a man down and we need back up. Repeat we need back up now!"

"Copy that Bravo Squad. Hold your position and wait for reinforcements."

Camp Revolutionary Vanguard
"Comrade, the airship Cocoa has spotted what we think is Splonka trying to escape."

"Excellent. Gather your men and go and find him. He's got a lot to answer for."

Camp Revolutionary Vanguard
"Comrade, we are now ready to deploy the 75th Zogard Motorized Brigade. Consists of motorized battlions and a tank and artillery battlion."

"They will secure the factory. They should get there by mid day tommorow. Have air support ready."

Stoopolis- Operation Safe Streets
-The Committee of Public Safety has declared that essential public utilities must be secured for the survival of the citizens of Spootopolis. Plutocratican forces have are now restricting access to workers in Stoopolis telecommunications, electric, natural gas, water and transportation facilities. Worker militias also will have access to defend the facilities.
-The background checks have revealed traitors and spies all across Spootoplis. Some Spoot citizens have been persuaded by the Worker militias to do their patriotic duty in revealing the locations of Worms and Lemonaders. Most preferred death to capture and put up resistance.
-The construction of the road blocks has progressed. Check points have been of made of sand bags. Some road blocks have been constructed out of destroyed cars, rubble, and trash. Sniper nests are now being made, armed workers are taking up positions in confiscated buildings. Even without the road blocks, the areas under the Worker Committees has yet to be secured. With the arrival of more Plutocratican G-77 forces, international forces will be able to keep a presence within the city. The G-77 is now stationing some of its officers within a hotel in the city. It is believed that the house to house raids will be more successful with each district having restricted access.
- Elections outside of the 20 Worker Committee controlled zones will be held tomorrow. Spoot protests against the Worker Committees has occurred, especially within the more bourgeois sections of the city. Those areas that do not have a ruling council by tomorrow will be incorporated into one of the existing zones. In order to cover the new zone, more Spoot citizens will need to be recruited into the worker militia.
-The strikers are already in negotiation with the Plutocratican forces. The G-77 will bring the factory management and then act as a middle man between the two groups. Hopefully the managers will provide higher wages and better conditions for the workers.
-The Committee of Public Safety has suggested to the worker councils to create a system to go out and get goods for their communities in dangerous zones.

Telegram to the officers of Teh Hax's forces

Greetings, Comrades. While our facilities at Camp Revolutionary Vanguard are suitable for your forces, we invite your commanding officers to stay in the luxurious and safe five star hotel we have just secured for the leaders of the international peacekeeping coalition in the capital Spootopolis. It is a safe environment where you will be able to plan troop movements and coordinate your forces as well as conference with our commanders and any other international force leaders. We would also like to bring the halfling population of the state of Freak-Show to a peace conference, this would be a pleasant setting for such an event.

Outskirts of the Splonka Factory, Candy-Land

The 75th Zogard Motorized Brigade had closed in on the factory. There had been some resistance from poorly armed Lemonaders, mostly young stoners that were run over by the moving tanks. The 33rd Motorized Rifle Battlion moved in to take a better look at the situation.

"Comrade, Lemonaders are swarming the building. There is a large gate and the lemonaders have broken through it. There are some small orange halflings that seem to be using some kind of biological weapon. Some of the Lemonaders have bloated into large blue spheres and have rolled away. One of the orange halflings told us not to touch or consume anything in the factory."

"Do as he says. Who knows what Splonka has prepared in that factory. Purge the area of Lemonader scum."

As a 1st company moved forward, one of the T-80's was hit by a molotov cocktail thrown by a Lemonader. The Battle for Splonka Factory had begun.

One of the teams saw several Plutocratican units racing across the field.
"Brother, I think that is Splonka up ahead."
"Tell the commander. Perhaps they can reach Splonka."

The magical talking brick, which had somehow been brought with Splonka while he escaped began to talk again in a different voice.

"Well, well, well. It looks like the Plutocraticans are after you? Try to get to Mount Spooteh. The Ringleader guards will let you through and stop the Plutocraticans for a while. Come to our church in the Mount Spooteh tourist village. It is well protected."

(OOC: Since it seems there are a couple people after Splonka, I have to know if he gets captured by Lemonaders, Plutocraticans, or if he turns back and goes to the factory or if he comes to the Mongongo Church in Mount Spooteh. Also what did he leave in (what kind of vehicle?))

3 BTR-90 Armored Personnel Carriers and a ZSU-23-4 Self Proppelled Anti-Aircraft Gun rolled out of the port town, flying low overhead was a single SU-24, missiles and bombs could be seen hanging from the hard points, their destination? A village at the base of Mount Spooteh

OOC:PSST!

(OOC: All I can do is wait for you to blow me up or not. :eek: The mongongoians don't want to harm your operations. The Spoots and other peacekeepers might not appreciate you blowing up their village.)

(OOC... but it would be funny.) :(

OOC: They arent going to blow it up, just steal some stuff to sell it ^_^ .

IC: The APCs and the ZSU stopped at the edge of the village, Armed Mafia men burst out, weilding M4A1 Assualt Rifles, SAW Light Machine Guns, and Predator Short Range Anti-Tank Missile Launchers. They began to enter the village, the nearby APCs with Anti-Tank Missiles and the ZSU kept watch in support, their turrets moving back and forth across the village.

"Run you fools! Run! Screaming Spoot citizens and Mongongoists
were running amuck everywhere. One of the Mongongoists thought how
terrible it would be if the Mafia stayed and took over the state of
Mount Spooteh, especially with the possibility of Mr. Splonka, the ruler of Candy-Land coming. Mount Spooteh only had a population of 500 and a few tourists and none of them were well armed. They could easily sieze the whole state, and with Mr. Splonka, control Mount Spooteh and Candy-Land, 2/5's of the states of Spooty. They would also be able to see Spootopolis from the top of Mount Spooteh. It would be a disaster of immense proportions.

A large noise emitted from the Mongongo Church.
"Oh God! Oh God! We don't have the password! We don't have the password!" screamed one cloaked figure that came out of the Church.
"We'll all be killed!"
Cloaked Mongongoists were quickly gathering up Mongongo nuts and running into the tourist village and to the Volcanologist houses. Spoot citizens dashed away from the military force.

The Mafia Thugs began to enter houses, the 3 APCs rolled up to each house in a line. Thugs would emerge from the houses carrying... whatever Mount Spootehians had in their houses. Televisions, computers, cellphones, that yappy neighbors dog, if it wasnt nailed down or on fire(or both) they took it. The Thugs at first ignored the trees randomly planted around the village, but when they relized that the trees were planted in areas that they couldnt have been able to grow naturally they grew very interested... in digging them up to sell to gardners.

Thugs would emerge from the houses carrying... whatever Mount Spootehians had in their houses. Televisions, computers, cellphones, that yappy neighbors dog, if it wasnt nailed down or on fire(or both) they took it.
THE HORROR! THE HORROR!

The Thugs at first ignored the trees randomly planted around the village, but when they relized that the trees were planted in areas that they couldnt have been able to grow naturally they grew very interested... in digging them up to sell to gardners
The Mongongoists would be very insulted, they planted them in places where they could only grow naturally. Of course these aren't the brightest of citizens.

After the screaming died down and the armed Thugs scared enough people the Mongongoists and Mount Spootehians told the Mafia what was inside the Mongongo Church. There was a flat screen TV, several computers, a large metal box with a hologram of an African tree coming out of it, chairs, a podium, and some rugs. However, the Mongongoists pleaded with the Mafia not to enter the holy place and take what lay inside.

The Mafia only needed to hear the words, "Inside the Church there are..." To tune out everything else. They didnt even hear the pleas as they were to busy getting inside the APCs to head over to the church. Once they got there they piled out and kicked down the door to raid the place.

When the Mafia thugs came into the church they saw one uncloaked Mongongoist in meditation. He replied, "We don't know where the remote for the TV has gone. Mr. Splonka, of Candy-Land, will not be pleased."

A task force member ran in to tell the Jumbo Paper Clipian the good news.

"Little halflings! Wonderous news, Splonka has abandoned his factory and the state of Candyland! The orange halflings are all leaving now too! What more do you need! It is your destiny. Just go and seize the factory and the state of Candy Land. Surely Spootopolis will have no problem if you take a state that has been abandoned! I shall go tell my region of your predicament. They'll send in troops and you'll be good to go! Come halflings! Think of it, a state of your own! All that chocolate, all those expensive exports..."

(OOC: errrr :sniper: )
SO... little halfings shall we proclaim a new state in your name? My region shall surely come in your time of need if you do.

Spoot Halflings, Freak Show

"Tempting as it may be to take Splonka's territory, we would rather not, to many troubles, when last our scouts spoke to us the place was infested with Lemonader's, foreign forces and with a reputation for being bad news, we will instead run for election in these the most latest of elections."

Mr Spiff, Maskerade

Mr Spiff was pacing the room, rumors of the past few hours had been immense, he needed to know the truth of the current state of things, in rushed a young Ringleader "Sire! An army invades the lands of Mount Spooteh, we also have information that the same army may control Candy-Land, how shall we proceed?" This was a headache, Spiff could no longer enlist the help of the Hammers for this was not a matter involving the Church, what could he do?

"Send in 700 men to fight the army in Mount Spooteh, take 300 of our men and place them outside Candy-Land, NO-ONE get's through this blockade!" He ordered, the whimpering Ringleader spoke up.

"Sire, we have only 700 men left, half of them are currently fleeing taking up locations deep in the former Ninja lands, sire, we have only 356 men left willing to serve, what should we do?" This was a tough question, the only thing that he could do was to send them into a suicide mission, but they would never agree to that, how was he to solve this?

Spoot Mansion
Comrade Golga steps into Mr. Spoot's office.

"Pardon my intrusion and our inability to get a situation report on your desk. Yes, Mount Spooteh has been taken by the Red Tide Mafia, but our forces in Candy-Land have not seen them in Candy-Land. Perhaps... all they want is to raid the area, not control it."
"We also need to know where Mr. Splonka has gone. Our forces were chasing what we thought was Mr. Splonka, but they disappeared as cloaked men hijacked the vehicle. We don't even know if Splonka has left his factory, if he hasn't he is in great danger. Our forces have meet heavy resistance from Lemonaders."
"Also we would like to know if there is a large Lemonader prescence outside the Red Tide Mafia controlled port. Could Eric Dutch be there?"
"And remember, if it ever gets to that point, we still have the bioweapons from Jenrak."

Mr Spoot, Spootopolis

"I will not watch as Teenagers are bought down by chemical weapons, the only reason that they infact rose up in rebelion is because the people locked up and refused to purchase their Lemonade, I propose that we end the Lemonader's assault through diplomatic means, Soldier!" Spoot shouted over to a Ringleader standing by the door "Go out to Candyland and bring me Eric Dutch, tell him that we wish to negotiate a treaty."

Spootopolis International Staging Area
"Comrade, the Lemonaders have put up a strong resistance. Some of the older T-72's have been disabled. We have information that Eric Dutch may be near the Mafia controlled port."
"Send some of our forces to the outside of the port. Get me a situation report about the factory. I want to know when it is secured."

The Mafia thugs ignored the man and looted the place clean, then they got into the APCs and drove off back towards the port town they controlled.

Around this same time, a man approached the Lemonaders HQ with a message. He slid it through a slit and it said:

"Need weapons and/or contraband? Have money to spend? If you answered yes to both of these questions, come down to :insert name of town the Mafia controls here: and view our stockpiles! Tanks! Planes! Attack Helicopters! Handheld, guided, anti-tank missiles! Hell, even SCUDs! Come now!

Signed, Irona Clairens of the Red Tide Mafia. Profit Zone Commander."

"Need weapons and/or contraband? Have money to spend? If you answered yes to both of these questions, come down to Spinoton and view our stockpiles! Tanks! Planes! Attack Helicopters! Handheld, guided, anti-tank missiles! Hell, even SCUDs! Come now!

Signed, Irona Clairens of the Red Tide Mafia. Profit Zone Commander."

Eric Dutch, Candy-Land

"Dude, we should like totally get some stuff, i mean it's like it's there so we should use it" A subordinate had suddenly burst in shouting his head off "Dude, what the F*ck, we're gonna get some sh*t just as soon as we've had breakfast." Eric emptied the Ketchup sachet into his mouth "kay i'm done let's go" The gang wandered out down to Spinoton.

"Darn." And somehow that was all that needed to be said.

The Splonka Factory, Candy-Land

The 75th Zogard Motorized Brigade had been fighting for a full day and had little to show for it. In order to get supplies to them, they had practically dragged all the resources of Camp Revolutionary Vanguard into the fight. But there was hope that by the end of the day the battle would turn in their favor. Even with primitive night vision, the G-77 still had an edge on the Lemonaders. The factory was effectively closed off, the seemingly endless numbers of Lemonaders would no longer be able to have reinforcements. Yet the Lemonaders’ numbers, types of arms, and organization were still unknown. Some were fought like professionals, others were quickly cut down by the Plutocratican tank machine guns.

“Commander, we’ve heard horror stories from within the factory!”

“Some of the infantry units saw Lemonaders drinking a liquid within the factory! They started floating up, and the others started screaming to bleach, but they couldn’t! They were blown to pieces by a giant fan Splonka made!”

“Shut up! Focus on your duty! The fate of Lemonaders is death, no matter how it occurs!”

Three Lemonaders equipped with AK-74's they had stolen from dead Plutocraticans ran across the street. The T-80 in front of them let out several bursts from its machine gun and soon the Lemonaders were no more. As the T-80 began to move again it’s top armor was pierced by a Javelin missile which had defeated its reactive armor. The Lemonaders were better armed than previously thought. At the same time 10 Lemonaders scaled a fence in the factory and meet with 2 of their compatriots on the other side, one of the two carried the Javelin missile system.

“Comrade, I think we have identified the team that has been causing us so much trouble.”

“Rip them apart.”

The twelve Lemonaders had little chance to notice the tank rush towards them. A flechette round shot out of the muzzle of the tank. The shell opened up into thousands of darts, the Lemonaders were soon all killed.

“There are Lemonaders trapped in the factory loading area! We’re watching them right now.”

A Mig-29 flew over head, it had dropped four ZAB-500 incendiary bombs. The napalm bombs exploded, covering the Lemonaders in the loading area with flaming jelly. It was a scene from hell. Perhaps by tomorrow the factory would be secured.

The talking brick with Splonka spoke to him again.
"My friend, I can see that you have not yet choosen where to escape. Allow me to give you some advise. Avoid Candy-Land at all costs, any major cities, Spootopolis especially. Please come to the Mongongoist Church in Mount Spooteh, the Mafia did raid it, but they did not get into the underground section, few know the password to get inside. It will be safe inside the church and I will be able to explain what is occuring in your country, especially after the Sign. If you are still alive, please come to the Church."

"Are our teams ready?"
"They are descending on Spootopolis right now."
"And Spinoton?"
"Have been there."
"Call them, they should be prepared. The Sign has come."
"It is good, indeed."
"Telegram the foreign forces, tell them that the Lemonaders are to be delivered to them and that they should head towards the Mafia port right now. Tell them that after cleansing the area of Lemonaders, they will be able to buy weapons from the port, as they will be the only customers left."

OOC:NOT a good idea. The Red Tide Mafia has a policy of throwing anyone out who harrases or kills their customers.

IC:The Lemonaders arrived at the entrance checkpoint they were given directions to the display area.

The follwoing weapons were at the display with the following prices:

T-90S MBT: 6 million USD
T-80UM1 MBT: 4 million USD
Mi-28 HAVOC AH: 20 million USD
MiG-23 Interceptor: 24 million USD
BTR-90 APC: 4 million USD
BMR ARV(Armored Reconniassance Vehicle): 2 million USD
BMP-3 APC: 3 million USD
AT-4: 4,000 USD
RPG-29: 5,000 USD
Javelin ATGM: 7,000 USD
AT-14 ATGM: 9,000 USD
M4A1: 1,200 USD
KA-25 ATG(Anti-Tank Gun): 3 million USD
M-249 SAW: 1,700 USD

SA-12A: 17 million USD
2A36 Artillery Gun: 7 million USD
D-20 SP Howitser: 10 million USD
SU-24 GAP(Ground Attack Plane): 26 million USD

Fox Company of the 1st Infantry Division is being to sent to the Mafia port. They should be there in 6 hours (30 min. IRL). As of this moment, we are neutral and will not engage the lemonaders.

OOC:Uh... why are you sending people to the Mafias port? They wont allow all of them in.

Eric Dutch, Candy-Land

"oooh, so much choice, okay dudes, how much we got, give it to me." After a breif period of money counting the small cohort of Lemonaders turned to face the display area "okay, we have 1,186 Spoots and 92 Cents, in USD that is about $2,374 and 92 cents, I guess we'll just get loads of MP5's, more'll come be ready for them." He told whoever was on duty before paying for the 4 SMG's which he handed out to his gang.

The dealer took the money and handed the four Submachine guns over quietly. He then said, "We also have a drug section if your interesed."

The dealer took the money and handed the four Submachine guns over quietly. He then said, "We also have a drug section if your interesed."

"got anything that'll get me high for less than $200 and i'll take it!"

(OOC: Sh*t, my bad.)

Fox Company of the 1st Infantry Division has arrived at the Mafia port.

"We want 10,000 RPG-29s and 100 DP-20 SP Howitzers. The total is $1,050,000,000. Our government will transfer the money into your bank account once we have the weapons."

The dealer talking to the Lemonaders smiled, "Nope, sorry, nevermind then."

The dealers responsible for the D-20s and RPG-29s responded, "Done deal. The weapons will be sent as soon as the money is wired."

*wires the money to Red Tide's bank account*

"The money has been sent."

There were 4 metal cases with holograms of the Manketti tree around the world. One was in the capital city of Botswanna, Gaborone. Another was near the Spootopolis power plant. The next was on the outskirts of the Mafia controlled port city. The last, which was not to be used that night, was taken by the Mafia and brought back to the city, however, since they were a professional military force, it was hoped that they had prepared for such an incident. An observer in that last minute would have seen the hologram morph from a tree into a mushroom cloud.

Mount Spooteh
"Have the foreign forces received the message?"

"Yes, Plutocratica and Teh Hax have received the message. Plutocratica has also given in to the trade off, they will support the construction of the new church in Spootopolis."

"It is nearly time for the Sign, soon the world will see the end destination of their perverse fascination with Agri-Industrial imperialism. Their war against nature will reveal their true nature, murderous and destructive. When the luxuries of industrialism are gone, when electricity and power has left them, their societies will collapse to their ruling principle, this "civilized" principle, the rule of force. And they shall witness it tonight."

Each case exploded, but its destructive power was not like other bombs.

Outside the Spootopolis Power Plant
The case exploded, lights went off all across the city. The Plutocratican military forces that had been guarding the Spootopolis public utilities. The soldiers were shocked to find their electronic equipment fried. Many vehicles in the blast radius stopped working. Only the diesels would ever turn back on. The Plutocraticans had other problems. 50 shotgun and assault rifle bearing men had thrown rugs over the barbed wire fence and were attacking the power plant.

The Mafia controlled port city
(OOC: If you didn't take the metal case with the hologram from the church then an EMP doesn't occur within the city. Just ignore its effects and go on. If you did then an EMP does occur within the city and you must RP its effects.)

The EMP blast radius covered where the Lemonaders were. Their radios and cell phones would have stopped. The international force would be able to slaughter them. But not for free. For this opportunity, they would have to help those strange cloaked figures in Spootopolis.

Telegram to the Teh Hax Forces
Great news Comrades! We've caught the Lemonaders with their pants down! Attack! Attack! Attack!

Outside the Mafia Controlled City
The Plutocratican forces that had been sent to find Eric Dutch were now on the attack, wiping out Lemonaders that they came across.

"You'll know you're close to Eric Dutch because the people around him will be armed with MP5's."

"Woah, wait. First we have to get through these Lemonaders. Get air support, bomb the hell out of these guys and fast!"

Near the Mafia Controlled City
The Plutocratican trade emissary arrived in a Spoot citizen APC and walked out to the gates.

"Good Evening Comrades, we would like to create peaceful trade relations between our forces. We have 20 million USD and would like to purchase two D-20 SP Howitsers."

The Spootopolis Power Plant
"We are under assault! We need backup!"

"Radios are dead, take up defensive positions!"

"Safeguard the workers!"

"All these guys have to do is destroy the capabilities of this plant. We must protect the workers, facilities, and ourselves."

"Send somebody to the Spoot Mansion, get more support! If they take out the power plant this city will be forced to rely on a grid structure that isn't prepared for it, and a blackout for a very long time. Get ready for the riots to return!"

(OOC: Dear Spooty, I think you should decide whether or not the power plant is taken over, defended successfully, or if it was damaged. You can RP that the Plutocraticans guarding the plant were killed if you wish (or have them succeed. The Plutocraticans are probably better organized and armed, but the attackers have surprise and our confusion on their side.)

Spootopolis Coal Power Plant

"eyyup there, what the buggery was that there exploshun?" A worker shouted in the plunged darkness "probably some of tem Lemonaders, now get yur arse back ter werk!" Another voice shouted out in the darkness "heyyup there lads, ter Plutocraticans are under attack" Yet another voice came from the other side of the room "well thet's fooking foight ten!" Spades and pickaxes were picked up as the workers marched out to fight whoever it was that had damaged the Power Plant.

The Red Tide Mafia, unlike the Red Tidean Corporations Mercenary Forces and the Red Tide Military, couldnt afford electronics ment to be hardened against EMP.

Ivona cursed when the power went out, she was speaking to a customer when it happened, cursing, she turned and screamed, "GET THE POWER BACK ON!"

Minutes later a El-Capo(the Mafias name for an elite soldier) burst into the room, "MAM! All of our electronics went dead!"

Ivona blinked, "SHIT! Get the backups online ASAP!" She screamed in Russian.

Within a few minutes, the tanks, aircraft, and electronics of the Mafia were working again. The power however had not, so they lit candles.

Ivona sighed, "Thank god for that piece of technology we stole."

At this point a wandering band of Lemonaders wandered into the store "hey, whats with all the candles?" The stoner looked around at the flickering lights, some of his crew had wandered off to stare at the lights "erm anywho, we're here to buy some sh*t, we'll have what the last guys had and stuff..." He trailed off as one of his team-mates singed his hair off.

(OOC: yeah, i am Spooty, just a puppet)

Splonka Factory, Candy-Land
The charred bodies of Lemonaders lay alongside burning ruins of T-72's and BTR-60's. A BTR-80 APC drove into the middle of the factory outside the main gate. Two soldiers marched over to a flag pole with a fold piece of cloth. Soon the flag of the Circus State of Spooty once again was flying over the Splonka Factory.

"Comrade Golga, do you hear us?"

Comrade Golga, in the Plutocratican office within the Spoot Mansion answered him, "Yes, Comrade. Has victory at the factory been assured?"

"Yes comrade! We have taken the factory and secured it. We are ready to secure the surrounding region."

"No, not yet. We are sending over MP's right now to investigate the factory. I want clues to where Splonka has escaped, I want to know what he did in that factory, and the conditions of the workers in Candy-Land. That factory is to be preserved, it is under investigation!"

"Much has been destroyed in the fighting comrade. I don't know what you plan on finding."

"Leave those concerns to me. Protect the factory."

Candy-Land, near the Mafia controlled port city
Bombs were dropping on suspected Lemonader positions, however air support was now no longer available to the Plutocraticans near the port city. Spies had been sent into the city to discover the location of Eric Dutch, and while they had found where he had been only hours before, they had failed to find him. There was no time to take prisoners, perhaps if there were more forces availible, but there were not.

"Call Spoot Mansion, ask them if their intel can confirm if Eric Dutch and the other Lemonader leaders are within the port city. Can the Lemonaders function without them?"

(OOC: Don't kill Dutch or Splonka, I have plans for them)

Mr Spoot, Spootopolis

"we cannot confirm Eric Dutch's location at present, if we knew that he'd be dead by now."

(OOC: I won't kill anyone important without your permission. So Splonka is in on something eh? :mp5: :p )

The HORROR! The HORROR!

(OOC: bump, where did everyone go?)

(OOC: Sorry about the not blowing up anything... :cool: :sniper: maybe they are moving in to college? Also, RP what happened during the power plant battle, and what Splonka did.)

Spootopolis Coal Power Plant

The Power Plant employees were poorly armed and poorly trained, they probably could never stand up against one enemy let alone the full force waiting for them, they were mown down and the plant was taken, whether it would hold was anyones guess.

Mr Splonka, Unknown

Splonka sat back on his boat in the middle of the sea, it was a cool refreshing day and he was happy to have gotten away from the terrible stressful events in Spooty, he sat back in his deckchair admiring the sunshine, this was the life.

Spootopolis Coal Plant
- The 50 man was halved by the time the plant was siezed. The Plutocraticans had put up a heavy resistance, and now more Plutocraticans were on the way. Two six man teams headed out on foot to the water treatment plant while two other six man teams took two Plutocratican APCs and headed into the city. By the time the Plutocratican military would get there the damage would already have been done. Bombs demolished the boiler system, turbines, and generator. Only buildings with generators still had power.

Spoot Mansion, Spootopolis

The Lights flickered but soon restored, the emergancy generator had kicked in, well this had to mean that Spootopolis Coal Plant was down, Mr Spoot walked over to Spiff, "Spiff, have your men check out the power plants!" Spiff nodded whilst attempting to eat a cake "mmm, ooriy bur' we ain go' mush lef-" Spoot stared at the fat man, he attempted to swallow the cake and nearly chocked "I said, alright, but we don't have many left." Spoot sighed "send them anyway!"

(OOC: I’ll wait to report on the water treatment plant, we’ve sent reinforcements…)
History of The Last Couple of Days
After the Plutocratican power station was shut off riots occurred within the more bourgeois sections of the city. These areas had not joined the Worker Committees and resisted the seizing of industrial plants by workers. These areas are believed to be aiding the Worm insurgency. The Committee of Public Safety has ordered that a thorough search of these areas take place immediately. The individual worker councils have been given the power to seize and distribute foodstuffs, water, and other essential supplies. During the riots workers seized many of the factories in Spootopolis. The Communist Party wishes to create an alliance with the Socialist party of Spooty. The Committee also has issued out a recommendation to all Spoot citizens to create Worker Committees all over the country. The bourgeois counter revolutionaries have oppressed the Spoot populace for far too long. The G-77 has discovered cases of worker abuse as well as exploitation at the Splonka factory. Splonka must be found and tried for these crimes. In the mean time, the factory has been seized and will be handed over to the Committee for Public Safety until a worker committee in Candy-Land can take control. The city of Spootopolis has been closed off by Plutocratican peacekeeping forces, all cloaked figures, Worms, or Lemonaders can be expected to be shot on sight. The rebellious bourgeois sections of the city do not represent the working class majority which is in solidarity with the Committee for Public Safety. Their selfish petty bourgeois tendencies is suspect, they may be helping the anti social anarchist Worms. The Communist Party of Spooty, supported by the opinion of Commander Ghe Buevra, seeks support from the Church and the Hammers to destroy the Worms, which have most likely been isolated to the rebellious middle and upper middle class sections of the city because of the effectiveness of the house to house raids in the Worker controlled sections. All workers in Spootopolis are to be armed and trained in basic defensive and offensive tactics.

(OOC: Anything that messes up your plans? I’ll edit once I get back. Also, have the Worms in Spootopolis been hurt? Is most of their leadership gone? Are many cells broken?)

Extended History of the Labor Day Riots

After the violent uprising of the bourgeois counter revolutionaries, armed workers took to the streets to eliminate the Worm/Lemonader infestation and anyone suspected of harboring the terrorist threat. Inspired by the symbolism of the counter revolutionary uprising occurring on Labor Day, armed workers followed Plutocratican infantry into shops and factories that were being raided. Unfortunately, many have been seized and placed under the control of the Spootopolis Worker Committees, which have for some time been slipping out of the control of the peacekeeping forces. A rumor has spread that in this desperate hour, the capitalist counter revolutionaries have infected themselves with a disease to kill everyone if they must lose everything. This has lead to mass quartines, and the system of road blocks has made it difficult to move only a few blocks for even those with high level security passes. Mr. Spatta, Communist Party leader and head of the Committee for Public Saftey, has gone to investigate the human rights abuses at the former Splonka Factory. The G-77 hopes that the government throws its support behind the Worker movement and recognizes the Communist Party since some disillusioned armed Spoot Workers and Plutocratican soldiers have begun discussing a utopian vision of an anarchist Worker Commune incorporating all of Spootopolis.

(OOC: umm... Spooty, where are you?)

(OOC: well pretty much everything has come to a close, the Communist party have decided to check out Splonka's former factory, now under Dutch's control, the Worm's who never really rioted much have pretty much died down ready for the next time that they can sieze power, the Lemonaders have siezed the Splonka factory but are no longer really rioting, they have more than made up for the loss of one nights work, the Halflings went on into the night discussing politics, and an election has taken place to decide who is going where, and everyone pretty much fucked off anyway)

Red Square, Plutocratica
- Mobs of dissillusioned Plutocratican workers have taken to the streets in an unprecendented protest against the government.

"For HOW LONG!" "When will our boys come back home!" "How long have the Spooty riots been over!"

The mostly peaceful mob has chained itself to the Statue of International Brotherhood in Red Square and has demanded an end to the war in Spooty, which is believed to have ended.

The Politburo has issued a message that said the Lemonaders were still present and had actually seized power in Candy-Land, and that the military's actions were not imperialist adventures.
