This is what happens when you have liberal noobs RPing. Beltway, you've been Gmoding it from the gitgo! Don't even try it. As I stated again, I was leeniant, I will not make the same mistake again!

OOC - This is what happens when you have liberal noobs RPing. Beltway, you've been Gmoding it from the gitgo! Don't even try it.

That, my friends, is flaming. Don't post like that.
All - should we even continue this rp? It's degraded into recriminations and anger, and wasn't especially good anyways.
Gilabad, in relation to your claim of godmodding: examples? You had not been angered earlier by the stated existence of tanks, AD, aircraft, gunships, et cetera ...

On the decks of the 5 carriers of Quick Response Fleet 4, final preparations were being made. F/A-1 Wasps were undergoing final pre-flight preparations. Mere moments later, the first Wasp was launched off the deck of the AxS Radial. It's pilot checked over his controls. All was good. He waited a moment for the other 38 Wasps to launch, and then they set their sights on the Gilabadian fleet.

General Tanaka was going tired of the pest that the enemy fleets posed. He was also getting a little annoid. As he sat reviewing the major operation about to take place, he sighed and said "God help whoever stands in there way". He was giving the orders for operation "Pearl Harbor". When he gave the orders, 200 A6E Intruders, 200 JSF-35s, 200 F-18 superhornets and 200 A-10 Warthogs all armed with LRASMs took off from coastal airbases and some of the carriers. 200 F-22s were providing air-cover, in all 1000 aircraft were heading towards the enemy fleet, under direct orders not to get in range of AA fire.

LH - should someone take over for you? Otherwise, I'll probably just end up ignoring this thread - and to think that I started the thread (and, in a sense, the war - although Gilabad could have simply made it an international incident) in the first place...

No I think I'm done. I think it would be fair if someone magically teleported an equivalent number of their own forces to match what was lost with me dropping out though. My involvement with this is done forever.

Axinon Quick Response Fleet 4 (with Lost Hills Fleet)
On board the AxS Hive, a radar operator made a disturbing discovery.

"Commander, we've got over 1000 enemy fighters inbound."

"Hmm... tell all of our fighters to fall back to defensive positions around the fleet and launch the remainder of our Wasps and Blackhunters. Any fighters being sent up into the air now should contain exclusive Anti-Aircraft armament. And pray."

Axinon First Battlefleet (Part of the trinational fleet)

George O'Conner analyzed his display consoles. One screen showed the radar images of over 1,000 Gilabadian aircraft launching to attack the Lost Hills, Beltway and Axinon fleets that reached the scene early.

Suddenly, a message arrived from the SDN Liberty (the Velkyan command ship) stating that they were going to begin launching fighters for long-range fighters to attack this huge mass of aircraft. He turned to his console and typed an order for 100 Blackhunters to launch for close fleet defense, should the Gilabadians somehow break through and attack the main fleet.

[OOC: I have a pair of 1.3 Billion Population colonies, and I could use one or both of them to replase The Lost Hills if a better replacement does not present itself. Whatever happened to Bloodbank and Holy Paradise?]

Airspace over Chevrovian Fleet

The Gilabadian commanders had failed to calculate the awesome power of the Velkyan Air Force, and they would suffer for it. The RADAR of the ISF-2Zs, burning straight through the meager stealth capabilites of the Raptors, as the targeting systems acheived a RADAR lock on the incoming F-22s. The aircraft passed through the maximum range of their AAM-12s, slowing enough to open the internal bays. Then, in a rapid flourish, the bays released their deadly payload, which dropped for several meters before igniting, shooting vast plumes of smoke and fire outward as they streaked towards the enemy fighters, seventy-two in all.

The RADAR of the fighters would guide the missiles until the small RADAR devices of the missiles themselve could take over, overlapping with the other various sensors on the missile to guide it to it's target. As their deadly cargo streaked the Gilabad sqaudrons, the Valkyries began to descend, preparing to launch medium range missiles before engaging the enemy head-on.

Velkyan-Kahanistani-Axionian Fleet

The V.S.S. Orion, a Eagle class aircraft carrier operating under the Velkyan component, recieved it's orders from the flagship, the SDN Liberty to launch additional sqaudrons of strike aircraft. In minutes, four sqaudrons of MR-4 Ixiom strike fighters which were sitting of Alert Yellow were in the air, escorted by two sqaudrons of ISF-4N Xeon fighters and a AWACs craft sitting some ways away, providing a large amount of RADAR coverage to the aircraft now en route to the battlezone. As these aircraft launched, other sqaudrons on the fleet began to ready themselves for take off, nearly 100 in all, ready to take on the enemy air formation singlehandly.

[OOC: Is the Axinon-Kahanistan-Axinon fleet already in range? If so, I need to change my last post]

(OOC: My aircraft are, they have about a 1000 mile range.)

[OOC: Ok, my aircraft do not operate at those ranges, but I should send up some AA fighters]

OOC - Axinon, would you like to take over rping my forces? I'm not quite ready to utterly rewrite the recent history of my nation...

[OOC: I'm not quite sure what you mean by rewrite the recent history of your country... anyway, Velkya and Kahanistan are much more experienced RPers than myself, but if neither of them want to I could do it]

OOC - Axinon: I was considering ignoring the entire war, on the basis of poor rping from Gilabad and general anger about it all around, if I couldn't get someone else to rp my forces.
Axinon, Velkya, Kahanistan - whoever among you takes over my nation's military forces in the Gilabad OpArea, please TG me from time to time with updates (battles (with losses), major events, etc.)

Yeah, any ideas I had about joining this RP have finished withering and dying after Gilabad's angry squealing on the last page.

PS: Why am I not surprised that he's a Republican?

Edit: And one who's apparently chugged gallons of the Faux News Kool-aid?

(OOC: All of you need to stop before this erupts into a big flame war.)

[I think by liberal he means "loose interpritation of whatever he says" rather than "Member of the political left". And I agree with Velkya. Bickering solves nothing. ]

The F-22 formation that was attacking the Chevy Rocks formation immediately detected the Velkya interceptors with missiles streaking towards them. Since they had already launched their missiles, they immediately broke launching flares and CHAFF. 50 F-22s were destroyed and the remaining F-22s along with the remaining F-14s launched a retaliotory strike in response. The F-14s launched 3 Phoenix missiles each, while the F-22s launched 3 XMAA missiles each.

OOC: All of you need to stop before this erupts into a big flame war.

Hey, I'm done. Just be grateful I didn't address him with the title I felt would be proper! ;)

The 1000 Aircraft came within firing range (100 miles) with their LRASMs. They locked on to all of their targets and each launched 2 missiles with a total of 2000 missiles streaking towards the Anxion fleet. They immediately fell back as to not get within AA range, and went to aid the F-22s and F-14s still engaged in a firefight.

This is really hilarious! (NO offense, I'm done arguing)

Airspace over Chevrovian Fleet

The fighters pilots in the ISF-2Zs might have laughed, but this is war, not a video game (XD). The enemy missiles ran out of fuel long before coming into range of the ISF-2Z and it's jammers, still seventy kilometers out of range. The survivors of the first missile strike were targeted yet again with the sqaudron's remaining AAM-12s, forty-eight in all, targeting all remaining enemy fighters in a blaze of missile fire as a second wave of smoke snakes ripped outward from the Velkyan pilots, who proceeded to retreat into the incoming phalanx of Velkyan fighters, which prepared to open fire with the longest ranged air to air weapon in the Velkyan arsenal.

OOC: I'm guessing that you are refering to the nearby one.

IC: The Axinon Fleet was waiting for the Gilabadians to strike, and when they did they exploited their opportunity. With pre-existing radar locks, the Seawolf and Coon cruisers were able to shoot off 200 missiles before the enemy escaped firing range. On top of that, the 46 Wasps and 34 Blackhunters already in the air each fired a quartet of Air to Air missiles (320).

The Blackhunters immediately punched the afterburners and streaked off to engage the Gilabad aircraft. While outnumbered, the Blackhunters were far superior to the F-22 and F-35 fighters being deployed by their opponents. The pilots knew that they would win a fair fight. But 1000 to 80 was anything but a fair fight. Their only objective was to buy time for the Velkyan aircraft to close in on the fight.

Meanwhile, the Axinonian missile defenses automatically kicked in. Counterstrike [similar to the Patriot, but marginally improved] anti-missile missiles started launching from the Coons, and the AXTHEL anti-missile weapons on the Aircraft Carriers kicked in too. But the number of missiles to the number of counter missiles was overwhelming. The Counterstrike and AXTHEL systems picked off a combined 850 of the missiles, and the CIWS mounts on the various ships took care of another 1000 more. However, 150 enemy missiles still got through, sinking 4 Seawolf Attack Cruisers, one Hive Aircraft Carrier and one Coon Battlecruiser. 9 Seawolf Attack Cruisers, 2 Coon Battlecruisers and one Hive Aircraft Carrier were Mission Killed.


[OOC: The Blackhunter has a max speed of Mach 3.6 unloaded. The Raptor has a max speed of mach 2.1-2.2 unloaded. The Super Hornet has a max speed of around mach 1.8 unloaded. The Wasp has a max speed of mach 2.1-2.2 unloaded]

[OOC2: I am going to be off for the next few hours]

OOC: Ok, I'm back.

IC:

Another 32 F/A-22Bs had arrived in the combat zone by the time Gilabad's sneak attack from behind had shown up. As the previous fifty had expended their defensive chaff, the new arrivals dropped theirs. Again, most of the missiles missed their targets, though six more planes were destroyed, and only one pilot was able to eject.

It was then noticed that the mass of the Gilabad fighter wave were engaged with the Velkya fighters. The remaining 72 Sea Raptors took the opportunity to "get the hell outta Dodge," and made speed back to the fleet, which was at the moment operating some 450 miles from the Gilabad-Beltway conflict zone.

Losses so far: 8 x F/A-22B Sea Raptors destroyed, 1 x KB-60D tanker destroyed, 1 x ERB-60D AWACS heavily damaged; 9 airmen KIA, 4 airmen wounded

OOC - Whoever takes my nation: please note that my logistics are going to be ugly, and, if possible, try to incorporate that into the rp, since so few nations do. Look at the myriad types of aircraft I use, for example...

When the Anxion jets got into range, they were immediately spotted by the pilots who were trained in the event of a "speed superior aircraft", to use manuverability and superior training to their advantage. When the missiles from the enemy naval vessels below had passed, which had destroyed 18 F-18s and 32 A6E-Intruders, they immediately kicked into action. The F-18s, A6Es, A-10s, and F-14s each fired 2 sidewinders, while the F-22s and the JSF-35s each fired 2 XMAAs at the enemyforce.

Main Office, President's Palace, Duntovostok, ChevyRocks

Presdient Johanson was a very unhappy man at the moment. He had assembled the Cabinet, as well as the heads of the respective armed forces, to discuss the Gilabad conflict. He then spoke up, "Secretary Borgesov, will you explain to me just what the hell is going on?"

"Mr. President, I've been informed by the commander of Task Force 06.3 that some of our Sea Raptor fighters have been engaged by masses of fighters from Gilabad. We had launched a strike force against their fleet, but they hadn't gotten far before our AWACS picked up some fifty F-14s closing in on themselves and the tankers. We rerouted the fighters from the strike force and CAP duty to the scene, and a missile fight broke out. We were able to take out 45 of theirs, but we lost two of ours. We also lost a tanker, and the AWACS itself was pretty badly damaged. Not long after additional support arrived, the Gilabadians snuck up behind with another wave of fighters, and we lost another six planes. The Velkyan fighters showed up just in time, and while the Gilabad pilots were distracted, our planes turned back to the carriers. Overall sir, we've lost eight F/A-22Bs, one KB-60D, and nine airmen KIA."

"So, how the hell did this happen?"

Over the next few minutes, the arguing commenced. The Defense Secretary blamed the President for getting involved in the situation. The President blamed the Chief Admiral of the Navy for only sending two CBGs. The Admiral blamed the Defense Secretary for only allowing him to send two CBGs. The Defense Secretary blamed the Air Force General for not providing sufficient recon for Gilabad's defensive forces. The Air Force General blamed Congress for not allocating enough funding for the Strategic Satellite program. Soon after, President Johanson realized how stupid this was.

"Gentlemen, we are not gonna do this. WE ARE NOT gonna sit around here and argue for a half an hour about who didn't do their job, only to end up at the same point!! Now the fact still stands, we lost ten fighters and seven pilots, before they were even within 200 miles of the enemy fleet. Now no matter who's fault any of this is...what remains is that in my mind, we didn't send enough striking force to the area. Now I don't care how you do it, but get more support ready and get them on their way."

Wait a second, Velkyah, there is no way that XMAAs ran out of fuel in just 70 kilometers. I might as well say that your missiles ran out of fuel. XMAAs can go well beyond 70 kilometers.

OOC: My fighters launched missiles at the Awaks and tankers. OOC

Wait a second, Velkyah, there is no way that XMAAs ran out of fuel in just 70 kilometers. I might as well say that your missiles ran out of fuel. XMAAs can go well beyond 70 kilometers.


(OOC: No, my fighters are about 250 kilometers away, and the effective range of a AIM-54 Phoniex is 180 kilometers. Hence, 70 kilometers away from the fighters, the missiles ran out of fuel. And these XMAAs, if I remember AceCombat 5 correctly, are medium range missiles based on the real-lifeAIM-120 Slammer, which have a range of only about 30 km.)

By this time the 1000 fighter formation had arrived with the remanents of the cut off formation and were prepared to launch their LRASMs at the Velkian fleet, as they were nearing firing range. They got to exactly 100 miles from the enemy fleet where they all launched another 3 (each) LRASMs at the Velkian fleet. They immediately began to turn around.

No they are medium long range air to air missiles.

However I will RP as if you had some uber missile. 6 F-22s were lost.

OOC: My fighters launched missiles at the Awaks and tankers. OOC

OOC: Edited my posts to reflect.

No they are medium long range air to air missiles.

(OOC: How can a missile be both long and medium ranged?

Do you honestly have any idea what your talking about?)

"Red 1,Enemy marks inbound at 11o'clock. No radar sig"

"Keep an eye on IR scopes, watch for new sigs."

"Captain, we've got marks."

"Cut burners, drop flare, and skat"

With that command, the Blackhawks broke rank and scattered. The more cumbersome Wasps had more trouble, but too took evasive action. The sheer number of missiles was a problem though. 4 Blackhawks and 19 Wasps were downed. 17 pilots were killed when their planes exploded with their missile loads.

"Red, Blue, Green and Black wings, launch SAAMs and 'Winders"

Each of the Blackhunters [32] launched 2 sidewinders and a Zephyr [Axinon-made radar short range air to air missile]. Each of the Wasps [23] launched 2 sidewinders.

Meanwhile, the radar operators on the AxS Hydralisk detected more enemy missiles coming in. There were far fewer this time so when the Counterstrikes and AXTHEL systems kicked in, they had a much better success rate. [I estimate 600-800 missiles]. The outer defenses caught 500 of the incoming missiles, and the CIWSes on the various ships were able to pick off 250 of the rest of the missiles. The Mission Killed ships had a much harder time of it, because of their critically damaged systems. 7 MK'ed Seawolfs, and two additional Seawolfs were sunk, along with a previously MK'ed Hive. One Coon had its forward turret destroyed, but its rear turrets and missile systems were still operational.

Breaking News on Chevrokian National Broadcasting (CNB)

...we apoligize for interrupting the movie, but we've just recieved breaking news from Duntovostok. Earlier today, while operating about 300 miles from the Gilabad coast, Navy fighters and Air Force support planes were attacked by Gilabadian fighter planes. In the ensuing fight, eight Chevrokian Sea Raptor fighters and a KB-60 tanker plane were shot down, and an AWACS plane was also severely damaged. In all, nine servicemen were killed, and another four were injured. Their names are being withheld pending notification of their families.

Meanwhile, President Ragnar Johanson has authorized an emergency session of Congress, to debate what further action should be taken. We will have more information as it comes up...

(OOC: This is my last post for tonight.)

When I said long range MEDIUM air to air missile, I didn't mean both long range and medium range, the medium refers to the charge/warhead.

(OOC: So, if my missiles are "uber" because of their range, how can you fire on me, seeing as your missiles would have to be just as "uber".)

I was referring to when you said that my missiles ran out of fuel and how your missiles seemed to have magical powers to hit my aircraft. Let's not get bogged down again, so can we come to an agreement?

(OOC: Magical powers? Look, the missiles you are launching at me DON'T have unlimited fuel, espacially the Phoniex, which will run of fuel and drop to the ground once it has passed it's range of 180 kilometers. Learn your weapons before you use them.)

I know my weapons, however your missile seemed to have magical superpoweres to reach my aircraft, and when you said that your missiles could reach my aircraft, and how my missiles couldn't, I was a little skepticle.

anyway, lets keep this going.

I know my weapons, however your missile seemed to have magical superpoweres to reach my aircraft, and when you said that your missiles could reach my aircraft, and how my missiles couldn't, I was a little skepticle.

Good Gosh! Ok let's keep this going!

Airspace over Velkyan Fleet

"Sir, inbound contact, it's a big one, RADAR registers nearly two thousands hits!"

The AWACs zepplin, high over the fleet, working in tandem with surface and air based arrays, began to relay detailed, real time information about the enemy forces converging on the Velkyan fleet and surrounding CAP fighters. The fighter's sitting patrol converged on the incoming force, launching long range missiles into the tops of the enemy formation, as it approached the allied fleet's SAM range. Fleet Air Defense Ships, each laden with nearly one thousand air to air missiles with ranges of up to 220 kilometers, opened fire on the approaching bandits, loosing nearly four thousand air to air missiles into the ensuing enemy formation. However, they still managed to launch, sending their payloads into the Velkyan fleet.

IR guided point defense SAMs, along with five inch bored CMSR (compressed metal storm round, designed to spew ball bearing outward to damage missiles and aircraft) and larger VLS launched missiles reached out to destroy the oncoming enemy missiles, acheiving a 96% success rate. Still, 4% (or 120 missiles) leaked through the defensive fire, some striking their targets, others destroyed by CICW fire. In all, a single dreadnought was crippled, and ten other escorts suffered damage of varying degrees, as well as three sunk.

As the enemy turned away, a second barrage of fire erupted from the fleet, as one thousand more missiles, launched from both CAP fighters and SAM batteries in the fleet, screamed towards the enemy air fleets. The Velkyans would allow the enemy no quarter.

The air formation immediately detected the oncomming missiles. They all as a single formation, dropped their CHAFF and flares, and then dove for the ocean and then began a steep climb. The 50% of the enemy missiles were diverted by the CHAFF and flares, while another 25% were diverted by the complex maneuver. The remaining 15% destroyed 43 F-14s, 88 A6Es, and 49 F-18s. The formation continued on its course back to base to rearm and refuel. Meanwhile the repairs were nearly complete on the damaged ships and they were being preped to be redeployed.

Twenty-seven Kahanistanian destroyers launched a volley of AGM-84 Harpoon cruise missiles at the Gilabad Navy.

The RKS Chuck Norris, the largest ship in the allied fleet, took more than twenty hits to various areas of its eight-foot thick double-plated armor. The warship lost several of its guns to the incoming enemy fire that the cruisers, destroyers, and Patriot missile launchers were unable to intercept, but still had a substantial arsenal.

The Kahanistanian superdreadnaught took point, flanked by its destroyer, cruiser, and submarine escorts, and the Kahanistanian fleet advanced toward the Gilabad position.

Meanwhile, Warlord Shawhabas was watching the situation closely. He sat with a rather pensive look on his face. With both General Westmorland and Admiral Tanaka on the video conferance, everyone new what he was going to do. He was going to sign the orders to activate the rest of the Navy of the current 50% of the current part of the navy already activated. This would mean that an entire 50% of the Navy would be activated, never having been done before. He signed his signature and then looked at Admiral Tanaka saying "Give 'em hell skip!".

This is where "Task Force 122" stands after the activation of 50% of the Gilabadian Navy.

-30,000 terrorists
-2000 "Alpha Force" special forces

(OOC: I've really had enough of you, Gilabad. First of all, 50%+25% equals 75% percent, which leaves 25% percet, or 1,250 missiles left, which is more than enough to destroy your entire formation. Secondly, you greatly over estimate the effectivness of chaff and flares when dealing with modern missiles, especially with a formation your size. And finally, fancy flying cannot shake off over 1,000 missiles. Fix your post.)

Don't even try telling me that I overestimated CHAFF and flares when you tried telling me that I overestimated my CHAFF and flares when 3000 missiles were converging on your fleet and only 200 missiles got through! You misinterpreted my post, I said the rest of the currently active half which means in total an entire half of my Navy was activated. Any air to air missile can be diverted by flying in a direction then rapidly changing the direction, usually. So don't even try it!

OOC - Anyone going to take my fleet?

If any1's interested... http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=472584

[OOC: New Ausha, I am fairly sure that the message you posted would count as spam]

[OOC2: Gilabad, you haven’t posted losses from my fighter's counterattack. Just a friendly reminder]

[OOC3: Whatever happened to Bloodbank and Holy Paradise?]

With the Trinational fleet approaching the Combat zone, the remainder of the 4th Quick Response Fleet decided to make a break for the allied fleet. The Battlecruisers and one remaining operational Attack Cruiser fired 12 Doom Surface to Surface heavy anti-ship missiles into the enemy fleet, and fled. The Wasps and Blackhunters attached to the fleet disengaged also, and returned to near the center of the Axinonian QRF Anti-Aircraft bubble.

Meanwhile, the First Battlefleet had not taken any direct damage yet but they were anticipating that the fight would come to them shortly. Admiral O'Conner ordered the number of Blackhunters in the air over the fleet be upped from 100 to 400 and an additional 400 Wasps take off, all loaded with exclusively anti-aircraft ordinance. He also ordered the 50 anti-ship loaded Falcon-Class Destroyers and the 50 Solomon-Class Attack Cruisers to launch 10 Doom Ship to Ship missiles at the Gilabadian fleet [That is 1120 Doom Missiles between the two fleets. The Doom is closely related to the Tomahawk missile, but includes some coolants and radar absorbent material to make it harder to detect. Of course, it is still no "stealth missile" but it is much harder to find and shoot down from long range than the Tomahawk]

[400th post]

+++Over three thousand kilometers out from the battle, the 32nd and 35th Carrier Groups deccelerated gracefully, and began filling the encased flight decks with water. Once full, the F-35 Tridents would be moved out onto the deck, and launched in successive waves as the outer and inner flight doors spread apart.
+++For the first half of the journey, the stealthy submersible jets would cruise along via their hydrojets at a steady twelve knots. Just before they reached their effective range of the Gilabadian task force, all seventy fighter-bombers exploded out of the water, and as they breached, engaged their air-breathing turbines. In the first wave, they launched four-hundred-eight AGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missiles, the extra space taken up by anti-fighter missiles.

[ Grr.
Sorry. ]

(OOC: I'm out of here.)

OOC - If nobody claims my forces by the end of this weekend, I'm considering one of three options:

A: Ignoring everything from the request to deploy the Sixth Airborne - least favorite option, as it requires a lot of effort on my part. Essentially, Gilabad here chose not to allow The Beltway to deploy.
B: Ignoring everything from Gilabad's deployment of the 12th Armored on - slightly more favorable, despite the same amount of timeline-fixing on my part. Essentially, what happens here is that Gilabad sends an ultimatum to The Beltway, which withdraws and gives up the GSP men rather than fighting.
C: Ignoring everything after day one - preferred option, requiring the least timeline-fixing on my part. Essentially, The Beltway does not officially declare war in this version, and manages to negotiate a peace treaty with Gilabad, which could be rped or dealt with here.

Which is preferred by you all - especially Gilabad?

[No opinion]

OOC: Anxion, read my post, I posted the losses after you posted that you counterattacked.

I am flexible on the matter of what to do. Instead of having to go back and negotiate a peace treaty, mabey we could come up with some sort of "Cease Fire" document where we currently stand.

The air formation immediately detected the oncomming missiles. They all as a single formation, dropped their CHAFF and flares, and then dove for the ocean and then began a steep climb. The 50% of the enemy missiles were diverted by the CHAFF and flares, while another 25% were diverted by the complex maneuver. The remaining 15% destroyed 43 F-14s, 88 A6Es, and 49 F-18s.

[OOC: Oh, that was refering to the missles my guys launched? I thought that it was refering to something Velkya did. And I would support a cease-fire]

(OOC Hmm, maybe I didn't RP your counterattack, because the one you quoted was to RP to Velkia. OOC)

56 A6Es, 44 F-14s, and 28 F-18s were shot down by the Anxion jets.

Warlord Shawhabas had his Chief of Staff draft an agreement for the Cease Fire. When it was complete, Warlord Shawhabas sent a message to all of the nations involved.

"To all of the nations involved, I President Warlord Shawhabas would invite you to a full and complete "Cease Fire". With all of the casualties lost in this war on all sides. It's time for us all to stop fighting and to reflect on our losses and look in retrospect to our reason for fighting. The conditions are as follows-

1. All nations will Cease Firing and begin a staged withdrawl. All nations will be granted safe passage back to their homeland. All nations will be able to recover damaged or lost equipment and troops.

2. All nations will be allowed unarmed personnel to come into Gilabad to gather up their dead and wounded. As a trade off, one of the nations will be able to hold onto 3 of our Texas Class Battlecruisers until all of the nations' unarmed personnel have left Gilabad.

Any conditions to recommend?

DEMOCRATIC SOVIET REPUBLIC OF KAHANISTAN
Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The Government of Kahanistan finds the conditions for peace offered by Gilabad marginally acceptable. We further would urge the Government of Gilabad to legalize the ICLU, to prevent a repeat of the massacres which led to this war in the first place.

The Kahanistanian Navy will stand down until a peace treaty can be ratified.

Signed,
Margaret Delray,
Minister of Foreign Affairs

From the President's desk...

The Confederacy of ChevyRocks will accept the cease fire given out by Gilabad, and we will be standing down our Navy Task Force in the region. In the future, we hope the government of Gilabad will find more peaceful solutions to national issues, and try to work out regional disputes with diplomacy first before resorting to armed conflict.

Signed,
Ragnar Johanson
President of the Confederacy of ChevyRocks

From the Desk of William McConnel

Our nation would accept this cease-fire agreement, but we do express concern over the well-being of ICLU members in Gilabad. We would, of course, prefer if you legalized the ICLU. That is your nations choice, and if you choose not to we would encourage you to not kill them. If you do not want to pay for their imprisonment, we will accept any ICLU members you choose to banish, and pay for their transport.

With the utmost respect,
William McConnel

To Gilabad -
Your cease-fire request is accepted. We hereby ask to host a peace conference in Georgetown, our capital.
Sincerely,
Office of the Foreign Minister of The Beltway

There is no more ICLU members in Gilabad, they were all either annhialated or were evacuated by the countries that were involved. The ICLU will continue to be banned. As with the Gay and GlAD members, if they attempt to re-enter Gilabad, they will be shot. The Gilabadian Navy is standing down. Is there any conditions you all would like to add?

No. We will be glad to see this war end.

Beltway, Warlord Shawhabas has sent Ambassodor Bremer to your capitol to discuss peace talks. The dead and wounded from base are being shipped in body bags via C-5 Galaxies to your nation for proper burial.

OOC - Gilabad, is that Paul Bremer? Just asking...

OOC - Gilabad and anyone else involved in peace talks, go here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=472960). Post about your flights in first; we'll start the conference in one week (NS; as soon as everyone who wants to be there is there, RL). Obviously, any posts that involve only one nation's delegation are secret, and any involving multiple nations' delegations are secret to those delegations unless they choose to leak the info gleaned from those posts.
