Holy shit you've all got to be kidding me? Bonuses? Stats? Calculators?

Fuck that, no really, it saps the fun out of RP, combative RP anyway, the only one I enjoy.

What has this earth come to where we need freaking calculators?

What has this earth come to where we need freaking calculators?

We have to the point where we have a war where each side keeps fighting the other because they don't beleive that what the other did is correct. Thus, the entire war has been going on since November, with only a few IC posts.

You find a way to make them play nice and we'll scrap the Calculator, I think.

If they can't play nice, they shouldn't be playing at all.

If they can't play nice, they shouldn't be playing at all.
A number of active players here often distrust each other's calculations during battle; it would be impractical to kick out anyone who argues about losses. The calculator system is designed for those who want a quicker resolution of losses, without tediously debating details. Players versus player battles have traditionally had problems with loss calculations on Earth V.

What has this earth come to where we need freaking calculators?

Two things.

1. Do you have any better idea how to resolve wars quickly without IGNORE-fests or retcons? Resolving a major war in just a RL month instead of waiting 1/2 year thanks to bickering and arguing over losses? I'll take the 1 month resolution, thank you very much.

2. The problem with RP'ing wars is that 95% of the NS playerbase is too afraid to "lose" and consquently, those RP's die out because of that factor. When one side starts losing, that person loses the motivation to RP, and the RP ends up a dead-end RP that will be retconned.

Therefore, using this logic and string of actions, practically every player VS player conflict RP will never get resolved except that 1% - 5%.

3. If there is a way to have player VS player wars / conflict be successful, fun, enjoyable, and not end up as retcons or IGNORES then I'm all game for it.

I'd be more than glad to be the "bad guy" for Earth V, so that there will be a good RP atmosphere. Nothing interesting really gets done if everybody is everybody's best friend unless the people involved love exploration, development, non-war, etc. type of RP's. I do enjoy these various RP styles, but again, 99% of the rest of NS playerbase doesn't.

I thought that's why we have Vineyard here?

Heh. Well, I haven't seen Vineyard around for a couple RL months though. Besides, I'm far more threatening than Vineyard, given I dominate the Americas while Vineyard only dominates his little corner of Europe. <G>

Once ALM and UE are done, we'll have an effective way to resolve those ugly disputes where no one wants to admit taking heavy losses. Until then, I would highly encourage an international conference or something of that sort.

(I'm actually very busy these months with schoolwork, but I do check every day, even though I may not post.)

Repost (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12796801&postcount=2738)-Sixth, if you could when you have time get back to me on those questions I asked about a week ago. Thanks...

I would support this and to that end I worked up a post directed towards Sharina that if Sharina so chooses would get that ball rolling. I'm hoping if I have time, to being able to post it sometime during tomorrow.

If, you want I guess I could play the bad guy, though I prefer being the good guy and only being bad when no ones looking. :D While, I'm not as large as you Sharina, I do have a lot more countries (nations) hating me and a little bit more power then Vineyard. I'm only one of two members that have nations on almost every major continent (excluding Australia and Antarctica)-Military Command being the other one who has a global presence. We both have territories in Europe [our main ones (well the ones I first claimed as I consider most of my territories/nations as main one's)], in Asia, in South America and in Asia.

Still, we need more nations (members), but not just members but active members. An another active member taking over the remaining United States or a new South American Empire would greatly add to the Earth V community. China is there, but for the taking. Africa and Europe have pretty much been settled, but there are still a few minor countries open.

You don't even need to pick a powerhouse country. Look at me. I started out with three shitty Caucasian Countries and look at me now. I am a regional power and a nation who holds quite a bit of power in Central Asia and the Black Sea region.

1. Could you elaborate more on what you mean by specially arranged. Does it have to be arranged with you or Sharina ahead of time or can we start the RP and just inform one of you of what were doing? Or does that mean the player will just have to put more posts up/more work into the RP for that nation verses a military type conquest.Yes. I would also expect more work involved in the RP, after it is approved.

2. Is there a minium number of posts that are needed/required? If, so what is the minium number you would like to see or have agreed upon? Also, does the size of the post matter? Can one say, post about 10 replies of nothing, but 1 to 2 sentences per each of those posts? As I've seen some people do just that, not here on Earth V mine you, but when we get new members you never know.
In order for it to get approved, all that's technically needed are the core information in an appropriate amount of posts (the number of posts depending on the size and power of the other side). Unnecessarily confining rules tend to get in the way of a good RP. However, on a case by case basis, RPs that obviously lacking in details may not be approved, even if it does contain the raw amount of details necessary (such as simply giving a list of cities being conquered, simply saying "the ___ Army conquered ____, with ___ causalities," et cetera).

Designating a war moderator is a good idea, this I have no problem with. However, it has been shown that waiting for a war mod to determine the losses will only end up delaying the war due to RL. Real Life overtakes everything. What we need to be able to do is use that standardized quantitative formula and have the own player or the opposite player calculate the losses of themselves or the person their playing against. The player will show how they calculated the losses in written form using that formula for all to see and any disagreements can be quickly hammered out. For example, one could argue-hey you failed to input the factor that I have Air Superiority which is a 60% disadvantage against your forces. Say, the other player then disagrees and says no you don't have Air Superiority. After a few posts of bickering, the players come to an agreement and both agree that Player 1 does indeed have Air Superiority, but only limited Air Superiority. So, instead of the 60% disadvantage-the more limited factor of 30% disadvantage would be use. There are other examples, I can use if need be, but I hope that kind of gives an idea of what I was trying to express.
Preferably, there would be an active moderator, but I see no problems with players calculating losses themselves using the formula. (In fact, that would probably be even better, in a number of cases.)

I would support this and to that end I worked up a post directed towards Sharina that if Sharina so chooses would get that ball rolling. I'm hoping if I have time, to being able to post it sometime during tomorrow.

Let me know when this gets up and rolling. I do want to do some kind of RP. Not being able to RP at all in Earth V is starting to test even my Vulcan-like patience.

Hmm, thats an interesting idea. Or we could have two "bad guys" go at it- namely you and I, then see what happens afterwards? The guy who is less evil ends up being the good guy. This is just a thought of mine.

The problem is that we do need more active members. Do any of you know any ideas how to recruit more players or promise good fun RP for them?

Ok, it's up. Just to let you know, I posted it in the main international incidents thread for Earth V.

Also, an interesting thought. Two is always better then one, as they say one is the loneliest number and misery does love company. :rolleyes:

I'm willing to play the bad guy, however truth be told once I finish up my Roleplay for Bangladesh (finished the one for Sweden) I was hoping to take a break for about a month and just let my nations pretty much run by themselves as I've been in one roleplay after another for most of my time in the Earth V community. I was thinking of letting other players or new players take over for awhile because I did my part in bringing life into Earth V. What could I do, but claim more countries and I agree with you that a lot of these nations should be left open for new players.

As to the members problem, I have some ideas, but I don't know if their any good or not. Here are some I just thought of on the fly.


First off, we need to come up with a catchy catch phrase to draw people in. Something like, "Want a realistic RP set in the Modern World, then join us today in the Earth V community". That needs work, but we need a phrase that's short and catches the eye, but at the same time tells what Earth V is about in less then a sentence or two.
Second, we need to start up again what Kopps was doing. A separate thread just designed to draw people in and direct them to the main Recruiting Thread. That's how I first found out about Earth V was by seeing that thread by Kopps. That's what got me interested in Earth V. I'm sure you all have different experiences though, but something had to have grab your attention for you to join Earth V.
Last, we need to determine what type of members we want (our base) and set the message to appeal to them.


However, with all that said while Earth V needs members what it needs most of all is active members.

There are currently 15 members in Earth V. How many are active at any one time during a given week? I've counted excluding myself, around 3-5 members active during any given week on average. That should be clear while Earth V is not very active. 3 members, no wonder Earth V is slowly dying.

We get people joining all the time, but then they never do anything and end up being kicked for lack of activity.

For example, Marxikhan who claimed Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam back in May. Has anyone see him post anything in say the past month, because I haven't? He's pretty much the only one in the area which gives him so many different options to pursue and yet, he does nothing for whatever reasons. He seems to be going down the path like most members in Earth V, being kicked for lack of activity.

So, yes we need members, but active members. Just look how alive Earth V was when most of us were active. You had a major war brewing, nations not knowing what to do, but then we all got stuck and Earth V fell into disarray.

Those were interesting times and that was just with most of us the dedicated Earth V players being active not, any new members.

If that post was a little to long winded for you, I'm sorry. I like Earth V and like you it's pretty much the only RP I'm active in and like. If, Earth V dies I don't know what I'd do.

I don't post often because I'm involved in one RP and that RP is between me and Turkey. It's almost over, and I am working on the last few posts, but one thing has slowed me down.

It goes by the nickname WoW, and it is very addicting.

Hence, your statement confirms what I stated above.

"How many members are active at any one time during a given week? I've counted excluding myself, around 3-5 members active during any given week on average. That should be clear while Earth V is not very active. 3 members, no wonder Earth V is slowly dying."

Well, I'd like to apply, regardless of how active this is. If it fails, I can always bail out and re-apply elsewhere.

Anyway, while I've barely got any roleplaying posts, I did at one time roleplay as Pushistymistan (I left because the UN was. . .unrealistic, to put a mild face on it). Does anyone have any reading material about the various nations in E5?

If something big happens that could possibly involve me, then I would do something. But not much is going on, so I don't have much to be active at. Someone give me a reason to strike fear into the world using everything my West African arsenal has to offer. Supervirus, anyone?

Well, then make something happen. I started out little too you know. But, I roleplayed my way to greatness. Now look at me I have the respect and/or fear of many nations. I even caused three great nations to gang up on me.

And I started out with, World fear the power of the Benelux (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benelux) and it's liberal ways. As those three countries that make up the Benelux were for the most part my main nations. Sri Lanka and Venezuela being my other nations I first claimed.

But, guess what. I made something happen and made my mark on the world of Earth V. You have options, you just don't know how to use them.

We, all started out small and worked our way to where you see us today.

Same here.

there are some red territories, may I claim them?
As long as you are referring to ALM's list (Anguillita Island, Antigua, Barbados, etc.) and not mine, yes...but obviously not all of them. Make a claim of about three nations (US states count as .5 of a nation, not-large islands generally count as .25), and I'll approve it.

Jeuna: See above.

Well, I think I know where to set up, but I'd like to familiarise myself with regional and international politics first, so I can formulate a proper foreign policy. As well, if it turns out that my concept is not feasible in the region I have in mind, then I'll know before I claim something.

Well, I'm here for my weekly sojourn in NS.


As for the activity spur, if we're doing this war, then we need to resolve it quickly.

I'm going to finish working out the battle losses for the first strike [surprise? no...] that will reflect the absence of Sharina's fighters to Europe, and also make it clearer as to what the losses actually mean.

Then, we can get on with the other aspects, such as getting a calculator that will do this stuff for me [and anyone else, hopefully].

I want to finish this war by end of July by the latest if possible. We've delayed this for way too long. Plus this needs to finish ASAP so we can move on with new RP's and allow new players more leeway to start up their RP's and such.

I'd like to add something.

I have just gone over UE's secret IC message in the main IC thread for Earth V. I see only one problem with that secret IC message- the timing.

You see, Sharina has already inflicted damage, losses, and destruction on Republican holdings (which is being re-calculated as of now), so that means we've gone past the point of no return for diplomacy. If this message had come before Sharina sent out its bombers, fighters, Navy, etc. and before it inflicted casaulties upon the RUN's forces, then it's quite probable that Sharina might have enterained the thought of doing talks with the RUN to defuse the situation.

(posted this over in the war OOC thread as well)

If UE accepts the modified losses, then that's all we need for the war to continue.

Well, the war can continue in other fronts. I'm hoping that it does as I start work on a war calculator over the next week. Also, I'm having internet problems on my laptop, so I'm using the family computer (which is ridiculously slow and lacks all of my bookmarks...) for NS stuff.

Hopefully, we can end this war by some mechanism that is as not painful as possible.

Okay.

I haven't really been active on NS at all lately (the past few months) as Earth V is the only RP I'm really involved in and when it goes inactive or when I'm waiting a few days or even a week for people to post, I lose more RP'ing ambition.

So, yes, I am still around, but getting more frustrated by the month.

Yes. Just start an RP (your old nation cannot be retroactively deleted, however; you either need to RP having your government officials exiled or something like that, or RP its collapse and start an entirely new nation), preferably one that involves a lot of other Earth V nations (such as Sharina!).

As for me, I'll try to start something on Thursday or Friday (I have midterms this week, so I am busy until then) involving other nations (most likely Sharina and ALM). I am hoping that ALM will have the calculator done by then, but if not, UE and Sharina can still continue the war (the calculator would probably be done or close to done by the time the next loss calculation is needed).

Good Idea;)

With that said, I feel like to many players are doing the wack a mole game with Earth V. They pop in once a month or two then disapper not to be heard from again for a few weeks to months or never in some players cases that join Earth V then do nothing.

I''m looking at you Marxikhan, Zaheran and Moorington.

It's kind of hard to keep Earth V active when no ones around. :(

I have the war calculator; my problem now is to get the right cofactors to give me good numbers. Right now, my test numbers for Sharina's bomber strike say that Sharina hit .005% of his targets and UE inflicted casualties numbering at .017% - which hardly means anything to me. And I'm still figuring out how to get it to figure infrastructure damage and collateral.

I will try to get to get war on the road, but I have to warn you guys - Starting August 1, I will be on the move with my family, and I'll likely be out of contact for the next 2 weeks after that. So you REALLY need to figure out how we're going to continue this war without me; hopefully, I can post the warcalc [it's an XLS file] so that some other deeply interested unbiased moderator can plug and chug the numbers to give status reports in the meantime, but after August 1, it won't be me for a while.

That said, you guys can still be doing other stuff, since apparently there are no more qualms with the military figures [I still have the damages in $$$ to figure, but given input from various peoples, I'm now ignoring that aspect, leaving that to the individual players to determine]. If the military figures are acceptable, then you guys should be preparing for the next strike, which hopefully [as TG6R mentions] the warcalc will be fully operational. I say unfortunately again... I am only available on NS Tuesdays and Wednesdays [now more likely Wednesdays...], so you also should consider getting someone else to help moderate.

I'm glad we're finally moving in a direction.

That aside, if nobody else volunteers or is available to moderate the war, then I'm willing to moderate it. I am aware that there's a potential for bias and conflict as I'm one of the two main players in the war. However, I am extremely loath to metagame or mix OOC with IC- in fact, I have had some experience with mod'ing and war-gaming from E20 (which was banned from NS for silly reasons I won't get into). Plus I always strive to keep OOC + IC stuff from influencing each other in terms of gameplay and RP'ing with the exception of RL issues (absence, illness, etc.).

One more thing. I need to know how active or often the other Earth V'ers are going to be if I'm going to try to RP more. What I mean by that is if I start RP'ing with good and detailed RP posts that I'll invest my time into (instead of the silly n00bish 1 liners or 1 paragraph'ers posts), I don't want to end up wasting my time and effort if nobody else really cares or tries to be active.

Thanks.

Sounds good.
I've tried a couple of other earths, but they all died due to OOC-bickering or inactivity (AWOP, EFJ and SYAE). Now I decided to restrict my RP to general NS and Earth-V, it's not worth the effort to make a huge factbook, and then the earth dies...

Let's try to get EV going again. I'll try to come up with something in a couple of days.

What exactly are we doing with the war? I mean, I've got a calculator (and it's working to my expectations) - so what are we doing precisely? Nothing's going on. No one's making moves to attack, no one's debating diplomacy, no one's even done anything since Great Romeo issued its communication in April.

I think that UE was waiting for the calculator and perhaps the cost damage recalculation.

Now that we have a calculator, there's no reason for it to stall anymore except for lack of activity.

Actually, I'm waiting because I'm stuck where I am at. I have made all the moves I can at the present time and as it's both Sharina's and Vineyard's move (turn) I can do nothing, but wait. Due to both Sharina and Vineyard not being here, this has resulted in a lack of activity. Which is out of my control.

As to the cost damage recalculation, as I told ALM- I'm ignoring that because determining a realistic damage assessment is impossible. Wars are expensive and this war is going to cost me, Sharina and if Vineyard is still in it a lot of money. Knowing that is enough for me, I don't need a calculation for every dollar amount spent. I'll figure that out after the war is over and won or lost.

That's it for now.

Glad, I could help... and Have a nice day/night. :)

I should note that Vineyard is expected to post soon in the War thread; I'm just wondering what's taking him so long.

Just to say that moving season is still in order, and I will be available to make a few posts in the coming days... BUt not right now [first you pack, then you unpack]. So I will check out what's going on. Hopefully, I'll be able to post more often come next week, and definitely when the next semester starts.


Also... we NEED to post something about the war, or else this war is going to end up being a one-way street [to Hades]. I realize that I didn't post a link to the calculator, but I also realize that nothing has been done since I last came here.

Also, I'm considering making a website that will have the calculator on a page for all to use for quick battle summaries - to be used by an impartial person not involved in the war [hard to find these days, I suppose]. It would be great if I could talk to Kopparbergs about making it work, but it seems that the Dog days have taken their toll.

I will be doing a routine participation check for all participants starting September 1st. I realize that people are busy with summer [ironic, ain't it?], and some people have forum problems. I need people to sign up and make a post concerning their activity and their intentions with Earth V definitively by September 1st. Otherwise, I'm going to talk to TG6R and Sharina about what to do about the dwindling number of people actively posting for Earth V, especially of those participating in the war. Once I become more active, I will plan to force a move on this war, or else, I will find impartial, war-related ways to end this [this will hurt the people not spurring the conflict forward]. I really don't want to do it, partially because some of my absence has contributed to the stalls, but I find little reason why everyone [literally everyone] else should decide to stall waiting for someone else to make a move [it's not like chess, where the moves are done turn-based]. Real wars don't stall when the enemy doesn't send a reply [if you're America in WWII, you send nukes; not to encourage the use of nuclear weapons to end the war period, but just a suggestion]. So hopefully, by Monday, I will be able to participate actively once again. And again, apologies for the delays. And another again, please make your post by September 1st, even if you're already active!!!

I would like to join earth v

I just put a post into my assassination operation on the whereabouts of the sniper and spotter to show my activity is still with this.

OK GUYS

IM BACK

"I wonder what's taking him so long?" -TGSR

Well, let me give you all a rundown of my life for the past few days.

6:00 AM, Wake up.

7:00 AM, Clock in at work.

12:00 PM, Eat.

3:30 PM, Clock out at work.

4:15 PM, Pick up little sister from work.

4:30 PM, Veg-out / Hang-out

6:00 PM, Eat.

7:00 PM, Do chores.

7:30 PM, Play WoW / hang-out

9:00 PM, Pass-out.


Every day. Until Now. I quit my job on Friday, now I find myself with ample time, a clear mind, and (Finally) plenty of energy.

Oh, and before you ask, I have been working on the Grounds/Moving crew at Union College to build up Kudos points with the Faculty there. Hard, physical labor. Suffice to say, I have an incredible tan.

Ok, and before you all lynch me in effigy, allow me to explain myself. I pay for WoW on a monthly basis. I felt compelled to play WoW with friends of mine, and/or (As many friends of mine IRL play WoW) hang-out with friends, maintaining the last vestiges of my social life.

Anyhoo, sorry for the (Major) delay. If someone would be so kind to point me in the right direction/give me a breifing on what happened while I was gone...

The right direction leads you right to where we left off about three hundred years ago [now I've figured out why the Hundred Years' War lasted so long! The English were waiting for the French to reply, and every once in a while, the French would answer in an astounding defeat/victory - more so the former than the latter].

To The101st Airborne: You're in the right thread to post a claim, but you need to take a look at the map and see what territories have not been taken. With the recent loss in interest by many of the former members, there will probably be a lot of room. So here's a link to the map thread - do not post your claim there, post it here. And TG6R and Sharina will get you going on to a better place in a hopefully better time [i.e. after this damned war is over].

I believe that Kopparbergs and Vineyard (Iraq) have those territories.

(I should also note that the activity check may clear up more land than what is currently available.)

I don't want to sound like an ass, but I feel 101st Airborne shouldn't be allowed in. After looking at his flood of useless and meaningless threads on mainstream NS, he shows a minimal amount of RPing ability and would kind of waste territory. That's just my opinion, the EV Mods can look into it if they want and make their own decision.

Your application to join Earth V is not successful. You need to demonstrate significant improvement in your RP abilities (especially in regards to adhering to standard NS RP policies) if you ever decide to reapply.

I'm active, it's just that I don't have that much to do which leads to my inactivity if that makes any sense. Anyway, at the moment I'm slowly, but shirley finishing up my roleplay for Bangladesh and working with MC on his Korean War. After, those two roleplays are done, I'm going to let me nation sit on autopilot for a few weeks as I take a break to pursue other things. I'll be active, I just probably won't make any replies that involves my nation(s).
NS is not the real world, hence us having to use the I go, You go turn based system. In real wars, the war is real life and hence the war consumes people's time and not the other activities they might pursue or do. That said, history is full of examples of wars stalling when both sides make no reply (attack), yet are still officially at war as no treaty ending the war has been signed. Wars conducted before the Industrial Revolution are prime examples of this, with both sides retiring during the winter months to regroup and reorganize being a theme played out again and again. More modern examples are the Phoney War (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoney_War) and the Cold War.

Anyhoo, sorry for the (Major) delay. If someone would be so kind to point me in the right direction/give me a breifing on what happened while I was gone...

That's easy, nothing happen. Welcome back, in any case.

I'm still here, surprisingly. Just bored with Earth V so no replies to anything that doesn't actively involve me.

What nations can I claim, as it looks the maps are inaccurate?

What nations can I claim, as it looks the maps are inaccurate?
The maps should be accurate; it's the claims list on the front page that is inaccurate.

Take a look at Asia and South America, for examples of available land.

Oh. So, Gray is not claimed?

Then, I'll probably take Brazil.

They may be a little premature, because if I don't get a reply from Vineyard or Sharina concerning the war and their moves by Monday I'm officially going to end the war on my own accord. After, a few days of thinking about it I have already determined how I'm going to carry that out without causing conflict of interests.

However, if after reading that you still want to learn about the war I would suggest you consult the official war thread and OCC thread.

Well, if you know my puppet Saint Lazare, you may already know the circumstances around my activity in coming school year.

As everyone in the Western World understands [or at least in America...], schools are starting, and of all the schools in the world, I go to one where classes are held on Labor Day. In the grand scheme of things, I've reviewed my schedule, and where I thought I had time, I've finally concluded that I'm going to be under as much pressure to do real life activities, school work, and work itself. That said, I'm considering withdrawing from NS [I'll still maintain my country for the one lovely chance that I can someday return]. It's still under tests, but!!! I've increasingly found little reason to continue RPing on Earth V, even as I've made numerous contributions to the community. I've been hoping that the war would continue and end someday, but at the rate that the participants are going, I feel that it will never end, and the only purpose for my participation is to make sure that it goes on.

That said, I'm testing the waters for one week - if I can continue on NS, then so be it. But if I can't, I assure you that this is one of the first things to go on my list. I'm hoping that some activity will cajole me to reconsider, but I hope that people will understand that I've got other issues to attend, and that waiting for a war does not rank very high on it.

That said, if I do choose to continue, then hopefully, we can bring some quick resolution to the war. Otherwise, my exit won't be the only one. In fact, it's probably a fair estimate that the majority of the participants are already on some other world, so I hope that we can do something about the war just because this world is under threat of dying itself. If I can't continue on Earth V, I do hope that the world does have some considerable success in the future. If anyone needs any information for Earth V - the maps, the country list, I can give it to you. I will still be around on TGs, so feel free to ask me anything. In the meantime, I'll be hoping that both real life and Earth V make a turn for the better.

Since there are several Earth V members in [the North American system of] school, just checking for any relevant new posts during the school week and posting occasionally on weekends is perfectly acceptable activity during this busy time.

The war is almost over; I believe that Vineyard is just waiting for UE's conclusion.

Which, is about done. I've only got one more part to type up and then all that needs to be done is some proofreading and editing.

I'm still around, but not as much anymore (online, I mean). That has to do with starting back at college full time, plus a 2 hour morning and 2 hour afternoon train commute on a daily basis.

I'm still willing to RP in Earth V, but you do realize the Americas War has hung over Earth V like a wet blanket for almost a full RL year. We need to wrap this war up quickly, even if it means crazy or rushed losses... or forget this war.

We do need to revitalize the Earth V RP'ing, otherwise it'll continue to stangate until it really does die.

What's the status on the post? It's been 12 days since your last post, so I'm becoming a bit concerned since everyone is waiting for the end of the war.

I have finished proofreading it and editing it, all I have to do left is add the finishing touch and then I'll post it. Depending on how long it takes to add the finishing touch and how busy I am this weekend, I should have it posted by this upcoming Monday or Tuesday.

The war is over. :)

The war is over. :)

Horay!

I should note that the upcoming weeks are tough times for me (and most likely Vineyard and GR) to post. Although Earth V may slow down due to the lack of (major) activity from these key players, that does not mean that others should just sit around and wait. Now that the war is over, it is the perfect time to start more RPs on Earth V!

I know that the Korean Conflict is still going on just waiting for UE to post a reply about a few operations in play right now.

I know that the Korean Conflict is still going on just waiting for UE to post a reply about a few operations in play right now.

I'm working on that post as we speak, you gave me a lot to reply to (not necessary a bad thing) so it might take me awhile [a week or two] to get a good reply up depending on how much time each day I have to devote to it. I'll send you a TG when I'm close to being done.

not entirely satisfied with the end... it sounds like my presentation that I just gave today: gets the point across, but in mushy details.

Anyway, if the major participants can tentatively agree to that conclusion, I suppose that that's all that matters. May I suggest for future reference that wars like this should be discussed thoroughly between all parties and a decisive winner chosen in advance by some other - more rapid - selection (like an online game of chess) and the subsequent RPs made to make a logical and entertaining exchange. Because this was utterly painful. If anyone wants an example about how we can make an example of this, I will be glad to demonstrate what I mean in private.

I think Azaha mentioned this and after seeing the mushiness of this war's conclusion, I am leaning to agree with him - the RPs tend to get more protracted when more is at stake. If the lot is already decided, then people tend to go with the flow (and any bitter ooc contest will hopefully disappear - thankfully, anything like this was kept to a minimum).

So!

I'm officially on cool mode at school, and I'll probably be posting more frequently, but I can't guarantee that. We'll see.

I guess I'm still here, haven't had any real reason to post though.

If I stick around, I'd like to verify the status of the people in Earth V, to determine if the map is accurate.

Mushy?-Are you sure that's the right word to use because it's meaning really doesn't seem to apply to what your trying to convey.

Mushy- adj; overly emotional or sentimental-Put another way, "gets the point across, but in (emotional or sentimental) details". Might, just be me, but that sentence makes hardly any sense.

With that said, be thankful it makes any sense at all as writing is not one of my strong points. You also have to take into account that it's had no feedback whatsoever at this point and is limited to my point of view (POV). Once, Sharina and Vineyard have their say I'm sure it will begin to make more sense as it's refined. If, you wish to add anything feel free to do so and I will edit it in if possible.

I agree on the first part, more discussion should have occurred before the war started. However, I disagree on the second part-while I'm not totally adverse to the idea of a already decided outcome- in my opinion an outcome decided in advance defeats the purpose in having a Roleplay. Besides, some conflict can be good and it just took us awhile, but we were working out the major bugs.

Off topic- I know of a place where you can play online games of chess, checkers, battleship so on if that's the route anyone decides to go. That said, I really haven't meet many people who can beat me at Chess and Checkers (I had some good teachers). So, I don't know how really fare that would be.

If I stick around, I'd like to verify the status of the people in Earth V, to determine if the map is accurate.

Well, from my limited checking the majority of the players are as per usual non-active. If, you wish to do it yourself just click on their name and it shows when they were last active in any thread in Nationstates. Some haven't posted anything in months.

Edit Update: Just to let everyone know, Azaha's nation has been deleted.

Waiting for something to happen. I am kinda busy, however.

I'm kind of stumped...I have no idea what to do now. Anyone have any ideas?

Sorry to tell you this, but it's already taken. If you liked a South America country or two at the moment; Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Suriname are open for claim. Furthermore, any help you need I'll be glad to supply. Food, military equipment, resources, so on... to get you started.

Aw, damn. Sometimes I hate being in Sub-Saharan Africa...no one's around here.

Uh, that's not what my last experience operating on the Africa continent said.

One invades two little African nations and one get's their ass declared war on them by three nations at the same time. :headbang:-No ones around my ass- learned a nice lessen that day. [See Sarcasm]Screw Africa-those people are nuts! :rolleyes:

Here's a few ideas I've thought up for RPs you could do- 1. Invaded one of your neighbors that are NPC, that's always fun. Senegal and Guinea look nice and yummy. :D

2. MC has an RP going on to claim, Guinea and Sierra Leone. This ones risky, but would turn out to be a good RP if done right. Don't just sit there, he's annexing nations right in your backyard-subvert his control, support a rebellion to cause him headaches and try to claim the nations for yourself. The possibilities are almost endless.

ill have brazil
Considering that all seven of your posts on NS are requests for land, you'll need to prove yourself more on NS before receiving land (at least here on Earth V).

Well, we still have the assassins in Djibouti story going on, a story delayed by my absence and the war; TG6R actually has sent agents to chase your guys.

If you need more international action, start up something on your own, and we'll figure it out.

As for Azaha, I'll note the change soon.

Once I get the time, I will need someone to RP something with me, and I'll looking for volunteers.

haha. The next thing we need is a thesaurus.

Anyway, the point of "mushy" was that it was mushed around .

Main Entry: mush
Function: [I]intransitive verb
Etymology: probably from French marchons, 1st plural imperative of marcher to move, march, from Middle French marchier -- more at MARCH
: to travel especially over snow with a sled drawn by dogs -- often used as a command to a dog team
- mush·er noun

Yes, it's inventing new words, but that's the glory about languages - it works if you understand it.

I agree on the first part, more discussion should have occurred before the war started. However, I disagree on the second part-while I'm not totally adverse to the idea of a already decided outcome- in my opinion an outcome decided in advance defeats the purpose in having a Roleplay.

I know for certain that every single of my PvP conflicts will be resolved in advance by some other method than mutual agreement in RPs, because I find it much easier to RP towards a certain objective than it is to RP for a certain objective [the difference being in the prepositions used]. I'm pretty good at both, and while I doubt that I'll win every time, I find it much fairer and much more interactive than unilaterally making decisions at a whim about certain tactics to which few people will readily agree on first glance. But if you can find a better way that more people like that helps reduce the IC [and OOC in some way] tensions about the conduct of wars on EV, please offer them up.

Jawohl

Yes, it's inventing new words, but that's the glory about languages - it works if you understand it.

In all seriousness, from the looks of it yes we do need a thesaurus.

I understand it, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. In fact, I find it quite annoying some times with all these new words. I prefer to keep it simple whenever possible and see no purpose most of the time with 5 or 6 words meaning the same thing. Why not just say the original word, as 9 times out of 10 that's what works best when your quickly and easily trying to convey your thoughts. There is something to be said about simplicity.

That's why I like sign language the best-it filters out all the riff-raff and all that matters is on how to say what you mean the quickest. It's all about the Action-Action-Action. No, ands-thes and all those other filler words. Much less of a headache.

Anyway, I'm making an assumption here so correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I can gather you using the word mushy to replace rushed.

As for Azaha, I'll note the change soon.

Once I get the time, I will need someone to RP something with me, and I'll looking for volunteers.

I would volunteer, but I'm busy as we speak and I still want my break before I start any new roleplays. Once I finish that Korean roleplay with MC and mine for Bangladesh-I'm taking a break from starting any major roleplays for about a month or so.

While, your noting the change-a long time ago DP had claimed Brazil. You don't have it listed under his name, but I did add it in to My Nations of Earth V thread.

All of those suggestions sound good, but the one that caught me was the latter of UE's. I still need to finish the assassin one, since I have had towo snipers living as bums in Djibouti for the last eight months, but the African one sounded good.

Before I do anything on it, I need to know two things.

1. Am I in EATO? I remember it was in the works and waiting for Azaha's vote, but that got messed up when he got deleted.

2. If I am in EATO, is MC? I'm not too sure if the oether EATO members would take it well if the new guy on the block was starting shit with senior members of the alliance.

Hello Candistan as far as I knew that you are a member of EATO. Yes I am one of the founding members of EATO. I have been in EATO for a better part of a year and I have been in EV for about year or longer too. So, I am not a new guy on the block unless you are talking about someone else?

MC, you are correct about Candistan being in the alliance. I just never got around to adding him or anyone else new for that matter.

However, that really still doesn't change my opinion about what we discussed early about ending the alliance or at least me leaving it and signing alliances on individual basis tailored to each nation (member).

As to the new guy on the block, MC Candistan was referring to him[her]self. Remember, Candistan is joining the alliance vs me and you being the founding members. He's the new guy-hence the new guy on the block comment.

As for my position, I really don't have a problem with you starting shit with senior members. Hell, you tried to kill my king and took out what a helicopter, three police officers and lord knows how many civilians.

As a said, the roleplay could be risky, but if done right a good one. As ALM said, you two could decide the outcome in advance.

Hmmm, it seems my rp for Turkey is still unfinished, after nearly 9 Months. I can't really finish it without ALM's assistance as he is the JIHADI Player. And Unless he objects, I am going to start rping like Turkey is fully under UCR control.

That's funny because I was waiting for you... unless things have changed. If so, I'll make things head towards a speedy finish, because I've probably forgotten what I was going to do anyway.

As for this note regarding attendance, I think TG6R said it best - even though my personal morals don't quite agree with me entirely.

Yeah, since the RSA no longer exists, by mutual agreement of its primary members, I believe that FOAM and EATO are the only legitimate alliances still in existence. That leaves some interesting plot development, if the parties mutually agree that the status quo resulted in that last war [which in all essence, it probably should].

As for the spy RP, I'll post something this weekend.

Anyway, soon, I will start a new conquest, and if anyone wishes to oppose me, please feel free (in fact, I would encourage it, to avoid me wanking my own thread).

Hey guys...

I'm still here... I just graduated USMC bootcamp on the 19th, here home for a couple days. But here on the 29th I am heading to Marine Combat training... so I'll be gone for another 20 days, for straight field operations/training. THEN after that I go to my main MOS school, where I may have net access...

So, if I got kicked from here... I'll be back in about a month.

Sadly, I got some bad news.

Kopparbergs nation has been deleted.

Yeah - Kopparbergs has been deleted. Hopefully, we can spur on some activity.

Would the grounds be right for my troops to "secure the borders?" He is after all my neighbor with the longest land border, and I think a possible siezing of some land to restore order would be a plausable course of action.

Just about one more month until everyone can expect full activity from Vineyard, me, and GR. At that point (January 2nd), I'll do an activity check.

I would like to claim Sierra Leone, Guinea and Guneia Bissau.

I just wanted to post it up in herea as well, but I need someone to RP as the defenders in Niger and Southwest Algeria in my Operation: Mansa Musa thread. (It's located in the Relevant IC/OOC threads thread.)

Guinea and Sierra Leone have been claimed by Kansiov. Also, is it really that fair to say that these nations just want to give up their sovereignty and become colonies again after fighting so hard in the 60's and 70's to gain their independence?

If you look at the everything there leaders were provided with a great deal from both the United Kingdom and France. I have also stated that they would be willing to be a self governing and also have reps in both Governing bodies of France and the UK. I have had the claims for sometime just now one has said anything or updated the map. So, if I am told by GR or ALM then I would be willing to give them up.

Kansiov has control over its claimed territory, as Kansiov appeared on Earth V a day before your post (if it had been the other way around, this decision might have been different). Your RP was quite good, but unfortunately, the parts of it dealing with Kansiov's territory cannot happen.

:confused:I'm assuming your referring to the part in that post about exchanging embassies, because that's a pretty good sized post. Not to mention that post is quite old [over six months] and I can't even remember when I made that post. Though I can tell it was before I created the Nations of Earth V thread, which was around 6-8 months ago.

Funny thing is, my records for my Earth V factbook shows I already have an embassy(embassies) with you and yet, I can't recall when I did that.:headbang:

I probably just got tired of waiting for you to responded, that I finally said the heck with it and just added you in. :D

So, yes I would love to finally be able to officially establish an embassy or in my case embassies with your fine nation. Not to mention, reopen up some trade links and I have a few business proposes for your civilian and defense industries.

Ha. I looked at my embassy page a few minutes ago, and it looks like it's still in pre-Burkina Faso information. I really need to update that sometime.

If Kansiov goes inactive, your state can have its land.

Um what about our National GDP?

Um what about our National GDP?
"1) Divide your RL-population with your NS-population (i.e.: 32,000,000 / 540,000,000). The result is your ratio (in this example: 0.059).
2) Multiply your NS-defense budget with your ratio from step 1. I.e.: 3,508,281 million * 0.059 = 206,988 million. This is your defense budget in Earth V."
The national GDP is the same as this, but instead of multiplying the ratio by the NS defense budget, multiply the ratio by the NS GDP.

Hey all.

I'm still lurking and around. Although I have been swamped with a lot of RL problems as of the past couple of months. For one thing, my college workload was much more than I thought it would be, and I'm having a couple of medical issues. I have gallstones and a ruptured blood vein in my right eye so that means plenty of doctor appointments, hospital stays, surgeries, etc.

So you can imagine, with all of that going on plus no recent TG's about any new exciting RP's in Earth V, my activity at NS has pretty much been non-existent. Besides, I can't really find the motivation to RP in NS other than Earth V because *ALL* the good RP's I'm in end up dieing out because of inactivity or players aren't into *real* RP'ing like characters, story, politics, etc.

Ah well. I'll always call Earth V my home on NS, and I'll always be around for whatever new and exciting RP's Earth V gets going. Please, I beg you, keep me updated via TG's and such if there's any Earth V activity and any interesting Earth V RP's I could participate in.

Actually, believe it or not I've been aware of your order for some time. However, since I don't produce the planes in question you requested nor have an understanding with the nation (member) that does-I'm left in a pickle. I sadly can't confirm nor deny your order.

For what good it's worth, I sent Azaha a TG about your order about a week before I left for vacation. Well, I'm back from vacation and as you can see nothings changed.

I have to agree with you on the blue. It's always something nice to see after a hard days work.

That's a shame about Vineyard, though. We really have to get some more people in this who actually last more than a week. :(

At this point, I think it would be wise to assume that everyone not posting is not active, and hence the reason why I created a map of the people who have thusfar posted [although TG6R hasn't been back to update the list yet].

Oh, I'm not separating anything. I'm just borrowing Wikipedia's maps for the improved use of making a better map that will allow me to divide the countries between different provinces/states/etc. Unfortunately, that still leaves a little sticker for me in Iran...

I'm just happy I'm not purple anymore. :cool:
Well, I've got quite a few F-16s-over 100. Not, counting the F-2s(based on the F-16) I put into service. As for price, I haven't figured one out yet. What would you be willing to pay? BTW-that price would include support for the F-16s if you so desired it. Both the Netherlands and Belgium built their F-16s themselves and for a few other nations. So, the ability to build spare parts for them is not a problem. However, since I have acquired Sweden and it's fighter the Gripen it makes more sense to replace most if not all my single engine jet fighters in service with the Gripen.
Agreed, just to illustrate had bad it is. As far as I can remember you were the last person to join Earth V that has lasted more then a week I.E. by being active. I don't know what it is about Earth V, but it doesn't seem to be able to get active or keep active members for very long. Most of us are now at least 2 year members or longer.

That reminds me :headbang:

Well, on the F-16 issue, I guess taking 40 of them with 25 fitted for a ground attack role would be nice. Also, the support equipment would be appreciated. As for the member issue, I remember having a few more that lasted a while, but what ended up happening was the whole American War sort of stagnated the entire planet, and the members that were on NS just for EV sort of abandoned it. I recall a few months ago we had half the map filled and even further back when there was actually a lot of high profile stuff going on (When Asian China, South Africa, Brazil and the Central Asian place were here still here). It's a shame to see them all gone.

Since, F-16s are a multirole fighter. Fitting them for ground attack is as easy as putting a target pod and the appropriate weapons on them.

Not really if you think about it, for it to be devastating their has to be conflict and as there is hardly anyone active in Earth V, the probability of that part of the world being attack is very low- almost non-existent you could say.

You'll also be happy to know I have no interest in that region and have no intention now or for the foreseeable future of invading any part of the Middle East. I'm more worried about Europe and South America and at the moment Northern Africa.

What I was saying was that Local leaders and former Vineyardian Generals would begin to fight. Over what, who knows most;y oil and control of the area most likely, this could destabilize the entire region as a whole and allow for extremists groups such as JIHADI to return.

Also not to rain on you or anything, but an attempt to attack nearly any nation in the Middle East or Central Asia would be met with extreme prejudice. I consider much of this region in my sphere of influence, which started out rather small and has no blossomed into something quite different.

Reviewing the information that I have before me, I can accept Ghana as joining the UCF. However, I have not seen sufficient evidence to allow the British Indian Ocean Territory, Hong Kong, and Ireland - especially the latter two. If you invade Hong Kong, you might as well invade China [which is what you're doing, particularly the former Asian China regime that was present some time ago]. And your statements involving Ireland have been very minimal. If you could give these territories the same attention as which you gave to Ghana [which was well done, especially as a non-military take-over], you could potentially earn Ireland and BOST. Hong Kong, however, will have to be more thorough because of the nature of its state.

And BTW, if you're still fighting in North Korea, I find it difficult for you to invade China, now that it's probably been reunited in absence of either Asian China and UARCA. So invading Hong Kong might not be the best thing to do at the moment if you want to end North Korea anytime soon.

When is the cut-off date for this? And why am I not on it? :(

Reviewing the information that I have before me, I can accept Ghana as joining the UCF. However, I have not seen sufficient evidence to allow the British Indian Ocean Territory, Hong Kong, and Ireland - especially the latter two. If you invade Hong Kong, you might as well invade China [which is what you're doing, particularly the former Asian China regime that was present some time ago]. And your statements involving Ireland have been very minimal. If you could give these territories the same attention as which you gave to Ghana [which was well done, especially as a non-military take-over], you could potentially earn Ireland and BOST. Hong Kong, however, will have to be more thorough because of the nature of its state.

And BTW, if you're still fighting in North Korea, I find it difficult for you to invade China, now that it's probably been reunited in absence of either Asian China and UARCA. So invading Hong Kong might not be the best thing to do at the moment if you want to end North Korea anytime soon.

Ok I will agree with you on the Hong Kong Front but for the most part the BOIT would not need more then Military Company to take them. Northern Ireland was in the UK and I am just using it for my starting point to an military launch point into Ireland and have been using the Irish Military to help do that with the forces that I have in Northern Ireland.

I would like to know what happen to my claim to Sierra Leone and Guinea as the Sierra Leone was going to be back part of the British Empire and Guinea is coming back in the French Empire. I know that rped them when I did Ghana rp. Just to let you know my two cents worth.

So what all is open here?

Besides a temporary hold that I am placing on Vineyard's land, everything that is not colored on the most recent map (posted in post number 2898 in this thread) is available.

ALM, the list closes now (except for Vineyard, who receives a short extension until I hear back from him), and you are now on it.

May I lay claim to China, Kazakhstan and Taiwan. Under the Name of The Republic of Asia? Forgive me if one of the above was Vineyard's...

What I was saying was that Local leaders and former Vineyardian Generals would begin to fight.

Good point, however I was thinking of conflict by other players [members]. Unless, you get someone to roleplay those leaders and generals it has little to no effect on the world.

Also not to rain on you or anything, but an attempt to attack nearly any nation in the Middle East or Central Asia would be met with extreme prejudice. I consider much of this region in my sphere of influence, which started out rather small and has no blossomed into something quite different.

Disclaimer: The following statement is made in jest and not to be taken seriously in anyway.

:rolleyes:Not to pick on you or anything, but if you ever want to feel some real extreme prejudice let me know and I'll be glad to park some Carrier Battle Groups off your coast. And it won't be water that will be raining down on you. :D:rolleyes:

2,967,457 active personnel vs 450,000. Yeah, I can see the prejudice you could give me. All 450,000 of it. :D:rolleyes:

FYI, China is divided into sub-regions and each one of those sub-regions counts as a whole claim of a country. As I think there are 4 sub-regions and depending on the agreement the max you'll be able to claim is 3 to 4 countries. If, you claim of all China that is all you would be able to do.

My best advance is either to claim what you can of China or claim some of the open US states. Each unclaim state counts as .5 countries so you'll be able to claim at least 6 states. By claiming China or part of the open US you get a good start by having a good industrial base plus access to some good military equipment which will allow you to then expand through force of arms into other territories. Of, course there are other ways to expand-but through force is the quickest.

You are, but you must take into account that a portion of your country was a former player as well, and a portion of it belonged to another. These two areas might not take a liking to returning back to the old regime, but you could.

Unfortunately, you have a tricky situation on your hands by claiming three-quarters of China. To know the exact provinces, the best idea would be to check out one of the Earth V maps and come up with a rough estimate of what provinces are contained in those sections. Add the population of each province together to get the population.

Actually, we've already worked out a system that divides China into respective parts:

*2 - China is divided into the following territorial domains as follows: Northwest [Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai, Xinjiang]; Northeast [Beijing, Heilongjiang, Henan, Jilin, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Tianjin]; Southwest [Xizang, Yunnan, Sichuan]; Southeast [Zhejiang, Guangxi, Anhui, Fujian, Guangdong, Guizhou, Hainan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Chongqing, Shanghai] [from the Earth V Map Thread]

From the way it looks like it, you've managed to get every territory, except that you've switched out Qinghai for Sichuan [Sichuan has more people than Qinghai...]. Aside from this, everything else is fine. I'm personally fine with you taking all of China, but I doubt TG6R allowed it. But doubtless, you'll have some time to fix that.

Anyway, sorry for this latest update. I'm glad that you've decided to hop abroad!

Actually it wasn't. It was divided into provinces just like India is. :D But TG6R has spoken... sorry... :(

:rolleyes:Yeah, because India is mine to claim. MUHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAA.:rolleyes:

On a more serious note, India really does need to be broken up into sections like China was. Both have over a billion people. I guess because Azaha has had it so long, if he is still active, it wasn't really a problem since he was hardly ever here.

But any other, moderate or small country, would be fine.

Sixth, since that guy who claimed Brazil hasn't been active in awhile, would you be willing to open that up for Muryan Endor? The same goes for the person who claimed or started to claim some of the open US states. Those two options give a new player an industrial base and a nice military to start expansion should they wish. If at all possible they need to be kept open if the previous person claiming them doesn't do anything with them and after over a week nothing is heard from them.

Just my two cents.

The problem with India now though is that Azaha used to own it. Now his nation has got DEAT, so it's officially unclaimed. Besides that, he never posted a reclaim during the TG6R mandated frame.

After some research, I've decided to claim Texas. Texas has a strong industrial base, particularly a large Defense Industry. I was just wondering if I can use all the US Equipment or just equipment used by the Texas National Guard and units stationed in Texas.

edit: I just read over the past few pages. Quite funny.

And what i mean by "Fix" is a complete re-vamping of the War rules, which are ridiculious. I think. Unless they have changed...

What I was saying was that Local leaders and former Vineyardian Generals would begin to fight. Over what, who knows most;y oil and control of the area most likely, this could destabilize the entire region as a whole and allow for extremists groups such as JIHADI to return.

Also not to rain on you or anything, but an attempt to attack nearly any nation in the Middle East or Central Asia would be met with extreme prejudice. I consider much of this region in my sphere of influence, which started out rather small and has no blossomed into something quite different.

Entirely accurate. The local commanders would either seek to become sovrign or would unify with a stronger general or partner with another. Depends. But I seriously doubt anyone could immediatly waltz into these territories unless you sit it out for awhile and let in-fighting weaken the divisional/battlegroup commands.

Also, where there is a lack of troops (I can't remember where) a lack of secirity could facilitate cicizen-groups or extreemist-groups (Even gangs!) that would divide and possibly fight amungst themselves because of the lack of security.

Ugh... Dual Enrolling in community college.... SUCKS! I'll have some posts up soon....

Doesn't really matter, almost every type of equipment used in the US Armed Forces is available in Texas. The only thing is that my navy will suck ass :p

That is true, You will have a very strong land force and air force, not so much with the navy, but still, you can always seek external markets for naval products... Maybe... CHINA! :D

Chinese new vessels and planned vessels are pretty decent. But it would be kinda strange to have an "American" nation adopting Chinese Ships :p Perhaps I'll move east along the Gulf Coast to capture the navy yards of Louisiana and Mississippi. Then I can build LHD's and other medium vessels at last :D

ps. is it correct that the link to the map is down? I can't load the link...

The map isn't updated as of yet anyways.


You may be able to build LHDs, but I do not think they build DDGs or FFGs in Louisiana and Mississippi. But China can sell you some good FFGs. Its not like it matters, because there is no such thing as "America", in E5 anyways. Plus you have Sharnia right next to you. A small fleet is important. Check them out: FFG (http://www.sinodefence.com/navy/surface/type054jiangkai.asp), DDG (http://www.sinodefence.com/navy/surface/type051c_luzhou.asp). I built a few of them to add onto my navy myself. Btw, check out my embassy exchange thread. (link on last page.)

If you would like to have some naval forces I am the United Citizen's Federation and I have Japanese, French, British, and South Korean Navies and I could produce some major Naval Forces for your Texas Republic.

There still unchanged since you were last here.

So, adapt American. Pretty much everything America has in it's arsenal the Republic uses or has acquired. M1A2s-no problem, M-16s fine there. F-16s done. Arleigh Burke Class Guided Missile Destroyers-yep, I got tons of them. LHD Wasp Class Amphibious Assault Ships-I got 2 of them. Plus the ability to build my own LHDs. So on and so on and so on...

Besides, it's not like Sharina's going to sell you the stuff. :rolleyes:Remember, he's evil and wants all of North America for himself.:rolleyes:

ps. is it correct that the link to the map is down? I can't load the link...

No, the map no longer exists. ALM’s working on a new one and has yet to finish it.

Lieber Herr Weinberg,

ja.

Thanks for the reminder, I had totally forgotten about that.

However, not everything is fixed. That post and the ensuring debate solved most of the problems, but we still don't have a way of easily calculating losses and that was the main problem.

I still have some of the stuff I was working on for the calculator, but it's far from complete. I was only just getting started on it when most of the Earth V members become inactive and hence why I stopped working on it. I could start working on it again, but it would be at least a month, probably more before I could post anything of use.
