[Earth II]And here's to new beginnings...(attn:Franberry

The sky was clear over the Armenian capital of Yerevan, but not for long. A thunderous roar ripped through the clouds, as overhead a squadron of Huahinian fighter planes were flying away. Five F2 Typhoons performed a fly past of the Palace, where the handover ceremony was about to begin. Huahinian Foreign Secretary Jon Charles was in attendance. Huahin had granted total autonomy to this region, and a formal ceremony was in order. All the air force planes and helicoptors stationed in Armenia would perform fly byes, whilst the Army would march by, before being loaded into the back of the giant C-3 (RL:An-225) transports.
Jon Charles took to the podium, in front of over 500,000 people who'd gathered.
"I stand here before you now to say good bye, and wish the people of this new nation good luck. As a gesture of good faith, we have continued building up the infrastructure of this country up until this very day. When I first came to this country, it was fresh out of civil war, and I am proud of the efforts of our troops, and I'm proud of you. You gave Huahin a chance without resorting to an armed struggle, and now we repay our gratitude in giving you your lands back for your own use. Here's to the future, and here's to new beginnings."
As the applause of the crowd grew louder, in the background, other ministers were negotiating with the ministers of the new country.
Huahin offers the following:
+A Free Trade Agreement
+A discount of 25% on purchases of planes from here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=473128)
+100 F3 Arrows (OOC - information in thread) and 50 T-1 Hawks (RL BAe Hawk 128) have been provided in good faith
OOC - One thing, as you're not properly in E2 yet, could you please remove your invasion of Sparta. Besides, with Cot and Doom going in for land, I'd advise against it anyway. I'd invade Rome if I were you and wanting land ;)

OOC: ok, I shall retract that, and thanks for the free weaponry

Jon Charles left the podium, and Agustus Fedriak took it. The people before him roared and appluauded greatly.
"My countrymen! This is the first step of a new era for us! We have gained our independence, we have gained our freedom!! We shall prosper, we shall conquer, we shall expand, all for the glory of our new country"
The crowd was estatic, even though he had spoken into a microphone, Agustus could hardly hear his last sentence.
"First, I shall like to thank Huahin! They helped rebuild our country, and have set it on the way to restore its former glory! We shall continue our good relations with this wonderful country! We have accepted a free trade agreement, and they have given us benefits and have helped us make the starting blocks of our military! WE SHALL BE VICTORIOUS!!"
OOC - Yeah, sorry about that, its just until Lay updates the main thread, you probably wont be allowed to RP outside this thread.

OOC - 11 players, and some subs.
11 players on field
23 players on team [FIFA regulations...]
only 3 subs allowed per game
not to mention standard formats for D-M-F
my favorite 3-4-3 :) or its variants 3-1-2-1-3 :)
I named 5 subs, but never mind. And St Lazare, we'll do a handover RP in a separate thread, and we can play a match as well if you want.
Fran: What is your country to be known as? Just Franberry?

OOC:Huahin, which direction are your transports heading?
Oh they've long gone. The only transport left will be carrying the football team home. And besides, why would I tell you? ;)

OOC:No, if they headed anywhere near where my stuff is, you're obligated to give my the oppurtunity to RP actions against them. Where did they go?

OOC: His radar would know, and since the transports would be moving relatively slow, if he wanted to, his interceptors could still catch up with them.
Then my interceptors would wipe his out. And they're long gone as I said before. The transport awaiting my team can hit Mach 3 anyway.

No, they aren't long gone, you never gave me the chance to RP anything against them. And I highly doubt your interceptors can even scratch the paint on my planes.

OOC: first its OOC knowledge, it dosent mean he will know about it IC, and if hes just redeploying to another one fo his territrories, whats the big deal?

I doubt your interceptors could even get close to my planes before they're taken out with BVRAAMs.

I doubt your planes could even detect mine before THEY'RE taken out with BVRAAMs. Look, we can go on like this all day, so let's just RP the damned thing so we can see what really happens!

OOC: The transports would have to go near Doom territory, near enough for him to detect them, thus it becomes IC knowledge.
And Huahin, if your so confident that your interceptors would rape Doom, then just rp it out and rape him and then afterwards you can have a good laugh at Doom's expense.

Hargreaves and Televe led their respective teams out the tunnel to a massive roar from the crowd. Pierluigi Collina met the two captains, and got out a coin from his top pocket.
"So what will it be, heads or tails?"
The Huahinian captain gestured to Televe, offering him the first pick.
"Tails"
The coin was flipped high in to the air, and with one swift movement, Collina caught it in his hand before revealing it to the two captains.
"Tails it is. Franberry to kick off."
The referee blew his whistle, and the match kicked off.

The referee blew his whistle, and the match kicked off.
"And Televe passes it back to Hood, who brings it foward. Hood to Horis, Horis up the wing. Huahin is getting their defence ready, and Horis is just about to run into them. Back pass to Hood, Hood doges one, two, ohhhhh, and he loses the ball...."
"Kilgallon intercepts, looking steady on the ball. He plays the long ball up to Milner, who's wide on the left. That's lovely control by Milner there. He runs down the flank, and skips past the sliding challenge by Guarno. He turns inside onto his right foot, and puts in a high swerving cross aiming for Sheringham..."
OOC - Wow, I wasn't expecting to do it this way, but it sure could be fun!
I'd invade Rome if I were you and wanting land
Now why would you go and say something like that? What have you got against Rome lately?
OOC - You missed off the :p
I was just joking, I just didn't want him invading Sparta.
"...Sheringham knocks it down down to Owen, who flicks it up on to his right foot...and wow, that's a wonderful strike"
Franberry

"And Govirc jumps for it, and...., oh he tips the ball off. Looks like a corner kick!"
"Milner runs across to take the corner. He weighs up his options. Kilgallon has made a run up from the back. Milner whips it in, and its long. Over the heads of everyone. But Richardson is chasing the ball, and has just kept it in. The crowd are starting to get behind Huahin, they can sense a goal. Crossing it from the right into the center, he's picked out Hargreaves, who heads it back to Le Tissier, who catches it on the volley from twenty yards out..."
Franberry
16-06-2006, 23:11
"Le Tissier strikes the ball.....and.... GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!! What an excelent goal, lets catch the replay. And Le Tissier kicks, and through, one, two, legs, off the post, and into the net, what a wonderful goal. The teams are drawing up again. And they kickoff, Televe is certainly not wasting any time, and he charges foward, with teamates going up the line, and many more behind him"
"Televe is looking to get an immediate comeback, and he plays a wonderful 30 yard pass to Kallego, who's running at the defence, with only two men to beat. He's flicked it over Hargreaves' head, but Hargreaves gets a foot in and boots it out. But the referee is having none of that. The Huahinian team look in bemusement, as the referee gives a free kick to Franberry for dangerous play..."
