Kahanistan, there is an Xirnium agent holding a gun on Kimblee and that agent had announced his pressence...
Read Xirniums post...
Amestria
27-12-2005, 08:05
I posted Kimblees response to the Xirnium agent and now Xirnium says that happens after the Kahanistan soldier reacts to Kimblee's remarks about the Xirnium agent...
:confused: What is happening now?
Since Kahanistan has modified his post to correct the timeline I will too, and all shall be good.
Amestria, if your intelligence officer can transmit information, and presumably the Kahanistanians can as well, then so can the Inquisition.
Besides, I understand that jamming works on receivers, not transmitters.
Inquisition transmission devices use enhanced spread spectrum modulation systems that are not suseptible to the general jamming that you claim to have over Torontia. Perhaps, if you are lucky, you may prevent them from recieving orders from the High Council, but preventing them from transmitting reports is impossible.
Amestria
27-12-2005, 09:02
The Amestrian is transmitting on a short wave within BC; your agent is sending information across countries...
In addition, I understand that one can block the frequencies used to transmit information...
Besides, how is that magical device transmitting anyway, is it satellite or digital or radio? There is no internet in BC and all radio signals are surpressed (whether from BC to Xirnium or from BC to a satellite...)

And saying it is highly advanced is no answer as my forces could easily have a counter in place.

Explain how. You can't physically stop radio transmissions from going in all directions. You can jam receivers by transmitting signals that overide any others, but you can't stop transmitters.

That's nice, notice this:
"A transmitter, tuned to the same frequency as the opponents receiving equipment and with the same type of modulation, can with enough power override any signal at the receiver."
Since you aren't jamming the Synod's receivers, all is well.
Amestria

Amestria is jamming the frequency they would use to receive the information.
Besides, how does that little thing transmit accoss continents?
The synods reciever will recieve nothing but static or garbled code from BC... The reciever is not being directly jammed but every radio frequency is!
every radio frequency is!
It is not, because if it were Amestrians inside Torontia could not communicate with the outside world. You can't jam every frequency. That means that a frequency hopping and spread spectrum transmission can defeat it.

I don't see why this should be the case, the Inquisition has the resources to use frequency hopping and spread spectrum transmission devices. The common Torontian's do, but the largest intelligence organisation in Xirnium does.

That is absolutely ridiculous and with no feasible explanantion. You jam frequencies, not their destinations. If shortwaves are not jammed inisde BC then they aren't jammed at all.

Hey genius, Amestria has over 1,500,000,000 million people and has had a draft in place for months in case there were additional conflicts...and one million of the troops are Torontian...
Amestria has millions more troops to spare.
And its a moot point because Amestria has agreed to the ceasefire...
Amestria, until you can give me a halfway credible reason for why you seem to have the magical ability to jam all shortwave signals from BC to the outside world and yet leave those from BC to within BC unjammed then I am assuming my transmission hopped all the way out of BC and then to the Synod.
You don't have some mysterious energy barrier blocking transmissions out of BC. Either shortwave is blocked or it isn't, and since you yourself have said it is not blcoked then there is nothing more to talk about.

The transmissions within BC are not touched if they are military (there is a communications blackout to prevent radio communication between rebel groups, if any are left), but all those leaving BC are blocked (short and long)... A signal within BC is not viewed as threatening while a signal from BC to whereever is... I see no reason why the short range signals leaving BC could not be blocked as the jamming would be the same...

Impossible. You have a very few options. Jam HiFreq, VHF, UHF, or all three. Unless your jammer has some FT Artificial Intelligence chip in it, you really can't just block the channels leaving BC. Note that jamming isn't 100% effective. Freq Hopping and signal bursts are usually pretty good ways to break a jam.

I'm sorry, but that's all gibberish. You block frequencies. Your jamming stations cannot tell where a signal is going and see if it as "threatening" or not, and then jam certain waves and not others. Its preposterous.

1.5 billion allows for an absolute maximum of roughly 150 million military personnel during wartime (most will be unable to take part off the mainland). That's 10% of your population. Such a level of active personnel cannot be continued for very long without effecting the economy. A figure of 5% or 75 million is a bit more realistic for a level of high alertness while 2% or 30 million is apparently the standard for most nations over a billion. Realistically however, China with a population of 1.3 billion has a military force of just over 2 million (0.0015%),and India with a population of just over 1 billion has a total manpower of 1.3 million (0.0013%).
So you see, having such large numbers isnt exactly as realistic as youd like to think, nor is it possible to keep such a large force trained, organized, deployed, supplied, armed, equipped, supported and based. However for NS' sake, i can see having millions of troops. Just a little food for thought.
Xirnium supermen
In practise the Inquisitors are RPed no different from any other elite soldier. More realistically then some, I might say, you don't see them taking on ten men at once or shots to the body without going down.

I never said my standing troop levels were as high as 30 million, I would say somewhere over 10 million standing at present (one million in Torontia)...not counting reserves.
Oh, and Ching only spends 60 billion on military matters (slightly more if you factor in their secret projects)... While Amestria spends two trillion...

Okay, let's say you wanted to jam all possible freqs on the UHF transmitters. There's roughly 13 million freqs in UHF for use. If he's smart, he's freq hopping through a set number of these freqs. Yeah, there's a randomizer for hopping, which makes it look completely random but it's actually a set code. The only way you'd actually stand a chance in successfully jamming a complete transmission would be to break his randomizer code, and jam all the freqs he's using. Otherwise, you try jamming as many freqs as you can on the UHF. It'll blow your system. And if he's using the burst method it'd be even harder, as he'd shoot out a signal, and then the next transmission would be a whole different set of freqs.
HF is a lot easier, though. Only 84,XXX freqs. More for VHF, but I don't really remember.
But as for an AI system capable of tracking and jamming his systems, I suppose you could try, but it would be time consuming, trying to find his transmissions, decoding his transmission, comprehending it to see if it's evil or not, and then jamming it. Chances are it'd already be out of there. But go ahead, this is your tea-party. Just making some input.

I just showed you an, in my opinion needlessly complex, "hoping system" that my Inquisitors need to go through just to get that message out. How much more frustrating could it be then needing to "leap-frog" a message out of Torontia, through more then half a dozen agents?
The Inquisition has very few agents, they are extremely frustrated that so many are being wasted in Torontia for a cause they care nothing about. Does that make you feel better? :D

Well, between your men you'd need it to be a flat area, like, only trees and small stuff blocking the way. If there's a large hill or mountain, or even a tall building in the direct path of the signal, you can hang it up. That signal is designed to go straight from the transmitter to the receiver. The longrange is designed to go up, hit a sattelite, and come back down (or bounce of the atmpsphere, but that's slightly more technical), allowing it to "jump" over mountains and such.
Even so, if he's still jamming on your freqs, be it HF, VHF, or UHF, and you're freq hopping, there will be a few seconds where your transmission will be hanging there in the open. Especially if you have a wide range of freqs you are hopping. If you're hopping a relatively few number of freqs, it will be easier to send and receive, but easier also for him to jam. It's give and take. Chances.

First link:
The Torontian military was rebuilt. That's the first thing you did. Crime is extremely high and the measures you have implemented are insufficient. Somehow effective social services are being provided. Contradiction, I think do.
Second link:
The civilians have ration cards which is the result of a food shortage. The Amestrians have been too busy with the military aspect and have neglected to feed the Torontians. Military doctors providing care for civilians is just another example. Military doctors are generally used for combat related injuries, not diseases and illness like ear infections and chicken pox. Maybe instead of paying Torontian doctors, the money would be better spent training and developing new ones and proper medical facilities?
Third link:
A reduced curfew. If crime is low and there is no threat of violence, why is there still a curfew?
Fourth link:
More military expansion. A couple shed are built and broken window fixed.
Fifth link:
Only conditions 1 and 6 were met.
Sixth link:
Refers to the Commonwealth forces as rebels and restricts travel. Restricts the political freedoms of the Torontians by prohibiting parties and people from running. Setting up commissions is all well and good, but does nothing for the people of Torontia when they need food.
Seventh link:
All you did was announce to give 2 billion. You didn't start rebuilding, you just said "Here, I'll give you 2 billion dollars to rebuild" if I were you, I'd ask where the hell my money went!
Eighth link:
You finally lifted martial law in the OP but then implemented it and a curfew on BC.

You see this is a thing called Role Playing. I have been told that you do not assume very often in role playing. since this RP is based on rebuilding Torontia, it only makes sense that there are many posts regarding the rebuilding of Torontia.
So let me tear you a new asshole as well, asshole.
Saint Fedski government talks allot and passes out cash. Amestria's done the same.
Saint Fedski doesn't pass out cash. Instead it constructs stuff so it knows the cash doesnt go to waste.
After the fall of the First Insurgant group until the Virus attack the Vancouver Airport was running all flights.
Where's the post that says that? Up until I opened the airport, there were no commercial flights in or out of Torontia.
I think everyone was rebuilding things like hospitals.
Show me a post that says other people have built hospitals.
I think everyone did this also.
Nobody else made posts of that sort. The only posts even close were draft notices and announcements.
And how would that help Torontia after it was all over?
It would provide a safe area for the Government to call home. In case of an Amestrian or Yallak attack. If there was an attack, the government would be able to withstand the initial pounding and then escape through the tunnels, much like Tanakis did.
AND THE SUPLUS NUCLEAR MATERIAL STOLEN BY SAINT FEDSKI!!!
The surplus nuclear material was secured by Saint Fedski. Nothing has been moved from said location. I know that because it hasn't been RP'd.
Again normal things that would happen anyway.
There was no RPing of that sort. Once again, the RP is to rebuild Torontia, not to assume it was rebuilt and then fight over it.
Saint Fedski has done nothing more nor less than the other factions you just made sure to brag about it all the time so you have proof.
Saint Fedski has done much more than anyone else. To prove it, keep going through the 2 threads. There are plenty more examples of SF rebuilding or fixing things.

I doubt everyone wanted to spend a post posting every single thing they did in roleplaying, if so it would take around 200 posts to discribel just repairing a city. I'm going by what most nations would do when they rebuild a nation. Do you really think that the RP could have gone this far if the Amestria part of Torontia was exactly in ruins as it began? Please I guess you want RPs to go like:
(Nation Paved a road today)
(Nation Paved another road)
(Nation turned power on in one building)
(Nation Paved another road)
(Nation Paved another road)
(Nation changed a lightbulb in a building)

Where's the apology and where's the transfer of cash?
Where's the apology and where's the transfer of cash?
It happened and that was that. Ask Red Tide.
Also, there were commercial flights out of the Amestrian zone (they were all shut down during the virus). Amestria has constructed quite a bit in Torontia, its just I did not need to feel the need to post specifics. There are however many posts in which restructuring/rebuilding are referenced as well as Peacekeeping. I also posted that Amestria was paying for the entire Torontian Government and that the Torontian Ministry of Finance was controlled by Amestria so as to prevent corruption. (I also mentioned a great deal in the OOC thread on this subject).
Western Torontia is as economically well off as the SF zone (better even considering electronic equipment in Olympia and Seattle were fried, and Seattle’s airport wiped off the map.)
Several factors to consider:
1. As travel between Western and Eastern Torontia were restricted, there was no opportunity for economic exchange.
2. There would be a large degree of uncertainty, which would hamper investment. There would be a great deal of fear and worry for the future.
3. Eastern Torontia has many lawless areas...still...
4. In the post collapse world of Torontia crime went up (what do you expect when the government collapses and the threat of destruction advertised by a foreign power). That is why I posted on the crime, it is not because Amestrian forces were unable to prevent it or neglecting the rebuilding, and it is because crime is what the reality was. The crime rates of Western Torontia and Eastern Torontia were equal but now I consider Western Torontia's crime rate to be lower.
5. Do to the divided nature of the country, rationing of necessities is common sense. The Free Market would be unable to provide them under current conditions in a timely, reliable, and affordable manner. The TPG has the resources to provide its citizens with supplies directly. The citizens of Western Torontia have plenty of food.
6. Heavy industry is rare in Western Torontia because it is not economically feasible under current conditions, however, job creation programs have been enacted and the service sector and small business sectors are doing well considering the current climate of economic and political uncertainty...
So you see, the ITG never had that great of an economy to begin with and the TPG has engaged just as much in rebuilding. I consider SF's remarks meaningless OOC nitpicking (along the lines of when I had that dispute with Xirnium on the trial, my objections on similar grounds where nitpicking and naturally over-ruled) and as far as I am concerned, there has been extensive economic rebuilding/restructuring in Western Torontia.

Oh, and SF, here is the requested information. The Airport south of Port Angeles you mentioned is a closed civilian airport. There are no further Amestrian Military Airports near the SF lines (and if there were they are now being relocated).
As for depots and officers, Amestria has over 50 Lieutenant and Major Generals in Torontia (and one General of the Armies) and over two million troops to supply. There are depots everywhere and a Brigadier General or a Lieutenant Colonel is a dime a dozen, so it is okay if you post the location of a depot (provided you go over the details with me first…)

Not to mention they are at tree trop level, flying on the edge, if not below the RADAR umbrella. most AA defences, would be completely useless against the F-16+s at that point in time.

2) The Amestrian helicopters are being boomed by the F-16s, I don't think they would be able to fly straight.

This is becoming annoying, Amestria. What possible reason could you have for your helicopters being right next to the Merkava?

Kimblee gave an unnerving smile. "We are far from the front Lieutenant, and as Kahanistan is neutral in this conflict I doubt I am in any danger... What you doing outside of the base I wonder, out here..."
Since you are searching the general camp area you are not searching the front lines. Your helicopters would take much longer then the Saint Fedskian ones to get there.

IT doesn't matter who's air space they were in...if I had fighters in the area and 50 enemy fighters began showing up on RADAR, I would immediately deploy all available units to take out the threat, regardless of who's airspace they were in. I ICly don't recognize any Amestrian borders or space.
Well there are 100 fighters kept on a scheduled patrol, as I posted a while back, so I guess we should already be at war...

The V-22 has a topspeed of 276.18 mph (240 knots). But in order to reach said speed, it must convert, while in the air to a plane, and then must slow down before reaching the target area and convert back into a helicopter to land...making it completely useless for short hops when compared to a proper helicopter, especially one like the Defender 500.

It is a V-25, improved and more powerful, 350 mph, and it was in the air first and three minutes away, by your own estimate, the SF helocopters where 10 minutes away...
I hate arguements, how can this be resolved...
It was in the air first and three minutes away
I have issues with this. The fugitives could be anywhere in BC and yet your V-25 is three minutes away? That sounds like a godmod.

They are within a general area, they could not have gone that far by foot and then tank in a couple of hours...
Saint Fedski

Your V-25 would still have to find the area, speed up, slow down, and convert while the SF aircraft knew exactly where to go, where to land and how long to stay.

They know exactly where to go because of the distress signal (issued before the SF forces took off), and unlike the SF force, do not have to take precautions...
(even if the SF forces are not fired on, they would take precoutions in anycase)
Anyway, how can this be resolved?
Saint Fedski
28-12-2005, 03:50
This can resolved by:
1) Letting things go without any combat...a win-win situation for everyone.
2) RPing the combat now with all the scrambled fighters and my naval vessels, as the two sides meet over the target zone. Resulting in a definite loss for someone and the beginning of an allout war and the entrence of the rest of the commonwealth.
3) RP limited combat in which the 3 Amestrian aircraft are destroyed by the SF helicopters and producing the same results as number 1, only with Amestria losing forces and SF taking a slower way home.
They are within a general area, they could not have gone that far by foot and then tank in a couple of hours...
A good soldier can march up to 40 miles in a day. Assuming the fugitives were only travelling for that long and only at that speed (and they could well have been travelling for longer, and quicker, given that they were running for their lives) your aircraft would need to search an area of 13,273 square kilometres.
And that was before they commandeered the tank and rapidly increased the pace of their journey, travelling at least another ten kilometres and adding 4,398 square kilometres to your search area.
Which means I seriously doubt you can get to the fugitives in anything remotely like 3 minutes, and certainly not before the Saint Fedskians who actually knew where to go and where ready to go there.

They have only been running for several hours, perhaps a quarter of a day at most, not a full day... (unless I am completely screwed up, I hate fluid time...)
Saint Fedski
28-12-2005, 04:04
That would require editing all the posts which I will not do. I will not go back and change the past like has been done so many times in this RP. If there is a "limited combat" that is not initiated by the Commonwealth an all out war will follow resulting in the destruction of the Amestrian Armed Forces. by The Commonwealth, Xirnium, possibly Kahanistan and an undisclosed ally.
Amestria
28-12-2005, 04:07
Thats why I started "ranting" on the OOC thread, because now it is "too late"
That "past" is incorrect and I refuse to recognize it and I am not going to change my mind because of OOC threats (hell the Amestrian and SF forces might not even exchange fire, but we might never know because you just godmoded them there!)
I gave plenty of indication I had a problem... but you ignored and dismissed me...

Not several hours, at least a day. If it was only several hours we would be near the front line, we'd almost be on the front line, not "no where near" as your man said.
Even a single day's forced march is not very far from the front line, but we can settle for that if you like. Or perhaps I can make it several days, but it must be at least one day's march.
Saint Fedski
28-12-2005, 04:12
There was no godmoding. I posted that my forces were minutes out exactly five minutes before you posted your forces as being a "few minutes" out. The Fighters would intercept your aircraft before they could get close to the zone and providing that failed the SF helicopters would arrive at the same time and begin shooting them down. You may not open fire, but I will.
Amestria
28-12-2005, 04:13
If it was more then a day there would be more then helicopters there launched by a Lieutenant Colonel...
It doesn't matter how many helicopters you launch, the area is huge. Say you launched 50 (which I seriously doubt you can) you would have each one searching zones 353 km square.

28-12-2005, 04:16

282km/h for 20km. Do the math and tell me how long it will take for the helicopters to get from Blaine to the roadblock.
It should be 4 minutes and 15 seconds for the 10 Defender 500s. For the F-16+s less than minute....less than 30 seconds infact. Actually 26 seconds.
Amestria
28-12-2005, 04:29
I have deleted my objection posts on the IC thread... but I would like something in return... perhaps one of the SF helocopters crashing because of an accedent or pilot error (it is dark is it not and they are flying close to the ground)...
Saint Fedski
28-12-2005, 04:38
How about this...it will prove useful in the near future. One of the straps holding an Elite Guard breaks, causing the soldier to fall to the ground, maybe breaking an ankle or something, however, because the Amestrian forces...(you have 2 divisions there remember) were alerted to the activity and rushed to the area, the Elite Guards were forced to leave the soldier behind. They tried to kill him buy shooting at him, but it may or may not have worked. Either way, he will be captured and his uniform will provide proof that there are SF special forces in the area...which will come in handy when the SC commandos begin their activities. And this can set the stage for a rescue RP if the soldier is still alive and doesn't take his cyanide pill.
If not, a helicopter crash will work.
I have work now. Back in 9-10 hours.
Amestria
28-12-2005, 04:40
That would work as well, but he would have to be captured alive... he could lose his cyanide pill...

They have no clue what's going on with Xirnium and their investigation, but a supposidly allied Tank that opens fire on it's own side just screams 'traitor or Terrorist.' and with the helicopters aiding them, says the same. But by the time the LA interceptors reach the sound the helicopters will be in the safety of the Commonwelth Navy and they'll break off before getting in range of AAs.

Lou's got all the dirt on Amestria that he could ever hope to have, copies of the execution order, coordinates for mass grave sites, everything. All courtesy of an Inquisition intelligence service broadcast to the entire world.
Soon there'll also be a Kahanistanian defector going to the press detailing the warcrimes. I imagine it will get quite a lot worse from there on.

Ok people; this is the point where this RP isn't going to be closed anymore. Let's face it: if a major international news agency came out with proof a nation commited War Crimes, it wouldn't be a confined conflict anymore. If I have Lou bring this out, i'm making a new thread that will be open; is that ok with everyone?
Of course, it would be pointless otherwise. In my opinion.
I mean, most of the actors already in this rp knew the truth. There'd be absolutely no reason for the Inquisitors to have gone to all the trouble of uncovering the evidence at great personal risk and not have the rest of the world know and act.

No it hasn't. It started as an open one. It was closed after most of the main players went in.
Also, we're not talking about moving the Torontian RP. A spinoff thread where Amestria is accused of genocide and warcrimes probably wouldn't even involve Torontia itself.
1) they have not been RPed leaving BC, so this is premature.
Who cares that he has not left yet? There is more then enough evidence that can be used to begin a thread about the warcrimes in Torontia (the order, the warcrimes sites, the DART video).
2) The Torontian RP has been closed since the begining and I do not at present want it moved to a new thread.
This is a new RP (the fact that it originated in the Torontian RP doesn't mean it is the Torontian RP) and it would be ridiculous to have it closed for the simple reason that the sensational nature of the claims demands others' media organisations and governments become involved.

Xirnium, I see a big problem with the title, it severly puts Amestria at a disadvantage by confering guilt immediately (and only upon Amestria), and the thread should be about everyones crimes (like the Xirnium agents who killed how many in BC?)
Look, I’m making a stand for sanity here. I won't change the title.
People post claims all the time in their threads, even untruths. If I went out right now and posted a thread entitled “McKagan’s Government is Evil/Corrupt/Hopelessly Inefficient!” I’m sure I wouldn’t get OOC complaints from him about the title, saying that I was "putting him at a disadvantage". I would get IC refutations of my argument though, and that is what you can do also.

Amestrian Military Positions: Updated
There are 1,145,000* Amestrian troops stationed in Torontia.
1. 350,000 are stationed in BC.
2. 200,000 stationed along the Amestrian/SF border, fortified.
3. 300,000 stationed on the OP (25,000 in Port Angeles, 100,000 protecting the coastline)
4. 300,000 in Vancouver and surrounding areas (South)
There are 1,700,000* TPG troops stationed in Torontia.
1. 400,000 stationed in BC, 100,000 of which are protecting the coastline.
2. 400,000 stationed along the Amestrian/SF border, fortified.
3. 400,000 stationed on the OP (25,000 in Port Angeles), 100,000 of which are protecting the coastline.
4. 500,000 stationed in Vancouver and surrounding areas (South), 100,000 of which are protecting the coastline.
(*The Amestrian numbers are lower by a few thousand because of causalities, but I am rounding up. The TPG military has increased its troop levels by 500,000 due to the draft that was implemented.)
The Coastline of South West Torontia (Washington State) is roughly 200 miles (I am once again rounding up, it may be smaller, but I can’t get a more precise estimate, it is annoying). With 300,000 Amestrian/TPG soldiers guarding the south west coastline, that comes down to 1,500 soldiers per square mile…(assuming they were all mobilized at once). No one can land in Western Torontia by sea as they will be shot down the moment they approach the shore.
(Note: By coasts it is meant the channel coasts as well.)

Saint Fedski

yes it is the OP. Elma is 40km west of Olympia. And which plane? There will be a couple to choose from. There will be some decoy flight, some sonic booming so high altitude flights, some low altitude flights, some fast, some slow, some obvious decoys, others not so obvious. It'll be at night so troops on the ground wont be able to see them, only hear them. There will be RADAR jamming in effect, chaffing all sorts of counter measures and distractions. Just wait until it begins. It will be a good read.

A little obvious that you are trying to land commando forces...
Do not expect the element of surprise the following day...
Also with so many planes in the air, you cannot expect zero causalities...

The ENTIRE Commonwealth will be against you.
Kahanistan and Xirnium will be against you.
There's a good chance that Yallak will join in.
There's also a chance Southeast Asia might feel the need to jump in.
Amestria may even see it as a threat to peace in the region and attack you.
Actually Saint Fedski, The Lone Alliance is one of my closest friends as he was one of the first people I got friendly with on NS (ICly and OOCly). So the Union would probably try and convince the ASTLA and the CSF to come to a conference table and compromise.

Also SF, as I have posted, there are 100 TPG F-16s patroling above South Western Torontia at all times... So your planes would not be crossing into empty sky...
They will be flying over Amestrian airspace, over concentrated forces with sophisticated anti-air defenses, and with enemy fighters already in the air...
It will be a good and interesting read...

I am going to bed and will be asleep for eight hours... I have two general requests...
1. That SF and SC, if they go through with the raid, then they have to let my air-defenses react to them crossing into Amestrian airspace. They can't just swoop in and be successful...
2. Kahanistan I would like to do some additional RPing before the defectors go public (and I would also like to remind everyone Kahanistan RPs the defectors).

So would everyone be ok with me joining the story if I put it in a seperate thread or what? Fourhearts would basicly be attempting to 1) Inspect the prisons so they can get to the root of the accuasations and 2) Try and barter a peace between all the nations involved.
Unfortunately, it seems that some of the 'main participants' are not exactly keen on letting in new players, so you'd might as well screw the idea. Check your TGs Fourhearts, and please respond via TG.

Just make sure you make a post of a standard patrol in the air at the time. None of the 100 aircraft Constant air patrols...because that would be completely unsustainable. Impossible to keep that going for very long.
And incase I make my "menacing OOC threats" reality, I would like a map of the Amestrian mainland and the neighbouring nations. As well as the Amestrian colony in the Hogsweat region.
Amestria
29-12-2005, 01:42
By constant I mean rotational...unless there is a state of high alert.
It would take time for me to get a map for the Amestrian mainland...(I am still working on the fact book)
By the way you never answered my question, where is SF on the world roughly?
Saint Fedski
29-12-2005, 01:50
Parts in Ontario, Parts in Australia/Oceania
forget the factbook and get a map.

29-12-2005, 02:01
Amestria is in Europe (or where Europe would be), Western/Central Europe to be exact. SF is no where near Amestria so I don't think an invasion would be an immediate threat... I will finish the map with the factbook...
May I remind SF that only 1/11th of Amestria's current military strength, and 1/75th of its war time strength is in Torontia (and that is assuming Amestria itself does not come under attack, as then there will be emergency call ups)...
Does SF have a map, because Amestria might take the offensive in any open war?

Amestria
29-12-2005, 02:27
And why would SF want to bring so much destruction to itself and Torontia?
It would be a fruitless conflict with no winner...
(PS: I have talked to Xirnium and they have a policy of splendid isolationism. Kahanistan is a friend of Amestria so they will not join in. The Commonwealth would be all by its lonesome.)
And Amestria will not cause anything, it will be SF that causes any further conflict. Amestria is going to be nice a stay in its side of Torontia and blast anyone that steps into it...

29-12-2005, 02:35
Another thing SF, I want a full breakdown of your military budget, because I have a sneaking suspicion that those ships may break the bank...
Saint Fedski
29-12-2005, 02:54
And that's exactly what will cause it. My characters don't recognize any Amestrian borders or boundaries or anything. The recognize that a rebel/terror group has managed to take control of half the country. When the Commonwealth Aicraft do their patrols, if they get fired on, that will be the trigger to start the war.
Sure the Commonwealth will be by itself, but
Population/Economy/Defence Budget
McFarland - 464 million/Very Strong/2.78 trillion (minus some for non-military reserve police forces)
North Saint Clair - 409 million/Strong/0.7 trillion
Thorns (Thornz) - 400 million/Very Strong/1.86 trillion (minus some for police forces)
Pink (Pink-) - 150 million/Very Strong/0.54 trillion (the military is the police)
*Communist Revolution - 1.3 billion/Very Strong/1.3 trillion
Amestria - 1.6 billion/Powerhouse/2.7 trillion
**Commonwealth - 2.723 billion/NA/6.64 trillion
* Not an official member yet.
** Including CR but omitting The Islands (The Islandz) and The Fish (The-Fish)
I know population and budget doesn't mean much, but I believe that's where you were heading.

Heres food for thought, Yallak still has his fleet off Torontia and still has two million troops in WT (he never withdrew from Torontia, just the alliance). I would wait before doing anything stupid just yet...
His stated goal is to end "all conflict" in Torontia... That does not sound good for warmongering...

THIS IS OOC!! CANNOT BE USED ICLY! Your post is nonsense too.
Amestrian Military Movements
The 600,000 Amestrian/TPG troops along the Amestrian/SF front begin the construction of massive fortifications. Massive walls of concrete/razor wire are thrown up, further trench works dug, pillboxes and gun emplacements of concrete and steel are erected.
This is fine. But it will take quite some time. By constructing said fortifications, you are ICly warmongering and therefore Yallak would be more inclined to attack you, as I am not contructing massive fortifications.
200,000 Amestrian Combat troops are flown into Torontia.
Godmode. Coming from say Europe...it would take quite sometime to get there, not to mention flying through the air patrols of the inbound convoy. So therefore they have not arrived yet nor are they anywhere close to arriving. Secondly, this will be seen as warmongering by Yallak, where I have started ICly that I am simply bringing my existing formations up to strength.
The Amestrian Fleet, with the exception of several frigates (which maintain standard patrols) moves out of the strait and takes up position along Torontia’s southwest coast.
That's entirely fine.
Top Secret: 30 N2 bombs are flown into Torontia. They resemble on the exterior normal surface-to-surface offensive missiles. During the night, they are set up on camouflaged mobile launching platforms (missile trucks). They are set to fire at a moments notice upon the SF front lines if so ordered by the Supreme Commander.
Godmode. Once again, it would take time, not to mention having to pass through the air patrols. And anything being set up would immediately be noticed by satellites, air patrols, recon units, the intelligence bureau, intelligence bureau field agents operating inside Western Torontia
Top Secret: The Amestrian Occupation Authority begins preparations to move its Central Command from Port Angeles to Raymond.
This is reasonable as well.
Other Activities
The Amestrian Occupation Authority begins the task of cleaning up the damaged/destroyed areas that were bombed during the war, de-mining the few harbors that were successfully mined, and cleaning up the wreckage in Port Angeles harbor.
This is also reasonable.
I have only publically told you that there are transports coming, I have not made any reference to an escort aside from the latest post and that is definitely not public knowledge. It is only there so you can't say I godmoded anything into existance.

They are being flown over the polar ice caps, so they are not flying over SF airspace... Would it make it acceptable if I gave it a weeks worth of fluid time...
As for what is warmongering, I will let Yallak decide... Amestria is just reinforcing its position to take into account SF's more belligerent posture (the raid on BC, the increased troop strength, est.) and Amestria's less secure position...
Unfortunately, it seems that some of the 'main participants' are not exactly keen on letting in new players, so you'd might as well screw the idea. Check your TGs Fourhearts, and please respond via TG.

Fair enough. But you must get a map of Amestria out as soon as possible, or atleast tell us a map that we can use for reference. ICly I will not allow much more Amestrian military forces to arrive in Torontia before I begin attacking them.
Would it be possible for their to be a McKagan sponsored Peace Conference IN McKagan?
I have a feeling that I could perhaps fix Torontia for good; at least establish SOME sort of lasting peace.

Sure! I see no reason why not, I always wanted to have some of my characters vist Mckagan...
I will have the Amestrian government ask for a neutral party and Mckagan can step in...
However, there is...
Kahanistan or Southeastasia...
Tanakis is on paid MCID vacation off the coast of Saharistan. He isn't going to be doing much now. The MCID is handling his affairs, so there's nothing Tanakis would do that would suddenly change the course of the RP.
