I started mass evacuations of my major cities, but if you read the post you can see that St. Petersburg is still very vulnerable. And AB, did you want the sailor to respond to the alien's question or no?

You can, or you don't have to. He was technically asking the American girl, but you can have your Russian guy spout even more ranting for fun.

Okay, I'll have him yell some more. And I had made a post in Istanbul of a ton of SPAAG's and SAMs getting blasted up at the ships. I know the capital ships are going to be largely unaffected, but you can have your fun with it.

They're at 35,000 feet-so you can see 'em (hell, each is 1.8 km long), but it's not like they're in final position to open up yet.


Cool. I'll post my ministers debating about what to do, and introduce what I plan to do - namely, invade Inner Mongolia in all of the confusion (which will probably backfire immensely, but i'm hoping not) and provide shelter for the inevitable mass of Chinese refugees from when (and if) they're attacked, as I have the land to hold 'em all anyway. ;) So yeah, i'm geared up to do what I can as my pitiful little nation.

Honako: each is moving North (the Naples one is moving towards Oslo). If you really want to get the Catholic religious thing going, it's essentially the 9th and 7th Egyptian plagues coming up (backwards, though-Darkness on the four cities, followed by the "rain of fire" that'll come.)

Hehe, my Pope has caused enough trouble and enough time, though I may add some of his rantings from time to time in the build up to the invasion - and hopefully some of you guys can report discontent within the Catholics (though with the aliens looming closely in the skies, I think the whole world isn't going to be too happy)

Nice post with the Russian guy (though I do actually intend to leave both alive-possibly they may be released if the races decide to start butchering each other, or something else happens).

Lol, yeah he's pissed off a grip.

Maybe a rock, but you can't even see a bullet move-and neither can these guys. Once a bullet gets 'em, they're toast. It's too fast for something like that to intercept. I just mentioned "kinetic impact", meaning that maybe if you rolled a boulder at them, they might be able to latch on and slip around-but not shrapnel, or missiles, or the like.

As for the Flood: don't know about you, but with one SMG I found them easy on Halo 2 even on Heroic level...

I have Halo 1, and the Library level was sooooooo annoying.

I have Halo 1, and the Library level was sooooooo annoying.

Don't know about Halo 1 (haven't played it in a while), but the only real "difficult" flood are Infected Elites in Halo 2. The rest are easy (including Human Combat Forms). One shotgun shell downs 'em quick, and the SMG or Plasma Rifle blows apart Infection Forms.

One shotgun shot? It took me several sometimes to get one of them...but whatever.

In any case, I'll try to get Jordan wrapped up before I do stuff with the aliens.

Get 'em right in the chest.

lol I finished legendary on Halo 1, never actually got to finishing legendary on Halo 2, mainly cause I lent the game to my cousin over a year ago... (well I have his Splinter Cell, so hes never getting it back till I get me my Halo :p)

lol I'll start posting in both the Alien and Death thread now. Anyhow I have tomorrow off as everyone is going to get drunk and celebrate Her Majesty's birthday (lol Victoria Day in Canada)

Jeez, I must be the only person that hasn't really played Halo around here or something. The one time I did play it (Halo 1) I can't remember, as I kinda hit the booze really hard that night, and... ah... anyway, then again, all of my FPS time is taken up by Counter-Strike, which is good enough for me. Pity that all this alien talk is going straight over my head, though. :D

And yeah, i'm kinda bored right now. I need to get some sleep.

Well, I just realised, AB are you still occupying 6 of my cities? Since we never actually finished the Houston Conference, or do we just say all is well and the Conference ended with cherry pies and a hug?

Hey Honako, I TGed you those speech excerpts. I dunno if it went through though. Tell me if you got it or not.

Sadly, I didn't.

Sadly, I didn't.

OK. I will resend it wait one minute...

Done! :p

Recieved - I'll include them in my post later.

Sent a message to Cyprus. It pretty much said Join the GGA, and we will protect you from the aliens. Plus we give you money. I need someone to reply to that.

Sounds good to me. Less to get bombed for my group.

Hey AB, can you reply to that real quick? Its in Renewal.

Uh oh. Earth V's back, looks like my time will be even more broken up...

I can now, now that the attack's on.

AB, how did I know you would do that to me...
Also, I sent that thing to you well before the alien attack. So Its not particularrly fair to reference that...

By the way, guys, I forgot to mention: i'm gonna be gone from the 24th to the 30th. It's kind of a bad time, what with the alien invasion and all, but I figure that I won't be doing much initially anyway, so it oughta be okay. Just so you guys know.

yeah, I'm gone from like the 27th to the 3rd...

Not sure it's a wise idea for you to be getting ready for a war for Cyprus at this time Kampfers - I could support you with my bases in Crete, but I must say, troop number support would be near nothing (it's all been redirected to the mainland, though there is still a base on there to keep order). I was expecting a response similar to my situation with Iceland, but I suppose that AB's reaction only makes thing's more interesting.

So was I. Methinks that AB wants Cyprus for himself...

Heh, that's me saying you're absolutely crazy if you want to commit the numbers that it will take to get Cyprus (heck, I'm pulling everyone home to defend) while your homeland is under attack. Me, I'd rather save my butt.

Besides, the Cyprus government didn't have to respond immediately. They took their time in this instance, and it paid off.

Next post coming soon when the fighter swarms deploy (nice idea you've got, Candistan, with the space thing, but you'll need to be creative in that to succeed ;)) Also, it's partly shells, partly energy and other shit raining down, so expect mixed bad results on the ground.

I'll RP D.C.'s bad effects as well, shortly, then begin to move on to my next targets (narrowing down the list, but I'll probaly hit two NAR targets (not sure what yet, I'm thinking One Canadian, maybe Toronto or Quebec City, and one American, probaly Chicago but maybe Detroit, Seattle, Boston, or Nashville), either Osaka or Seoul (or both), probaly Rome (goodbye pesky Pope), Frankfurt or Stockholm, Novograd, possibly Lagos (if Futuris is up for some stuff), possibly Johannesburg (same, 'cept with Granate), and thinking maybe Mexico City or New Delhi).

Expect China to get hit too, possibly Beijing and Xianling.

I just realized something....you're going to have to RP every single alien attack and move and stuff. Of the whole alien thing. That's...a lot, considering what it looks like you'll go with it. Just saying...

Lagos: Sure, I'll probably be just "making my country better" after the Jordanian thing is done. So Lagos is fine....but don't kill everyone there....or tens of millions of people (actually, somewhere between 100 and 200 million I think) :rolleyes::p

The problem is, I have so many beautiful historic European capitals - it's going to be so hard to see one or two attacked - you'll have to keep away from the Roman Colosseum, seriously ;)

Other than that you have my permission to attack Rome and Lisbon or Porto (obviously though about from major cities I'll let your attacks be quite free-flowing, though I don't want the WEF to be one of the most devasted countries really), Paris which you wanted I'm still unsure about - I'd prefer Portugal to be the worst hit - and maybe Yugoslavia, as they have the smallest economies - money protects in the WEF.

An attack on Indian and some major African cities could be pretty horrific, considering much of the population is poor, densely populated and there is little places they could go (I doubt there are that many of the massive underground Nepal cities in India). Same with Mexico City.

I can RP 'em all, I can cover them all in one post pretty much.

Honako: I can stay away from the Coliseum (or say there's somethign buried in it that the Amalgamation wants/finds), but hey, I'm blowing apart the Washington Monument and the Pentagon :P

You can go ahead and hit Johannesburg, mostly because theres almost nothing there besides 3 Million People. If you don't need to, oh well I guess the attack on Lagos will get my leaders attention.

Oh and AB my Prime Minister is still in New York. Make sure he stays safe until I can find a logical way to get him back the Dominion.

Sounds good. I may have a fighter raid on NYC.

I dont think it's very fair to have all of the major European cities untouched. In an attack like this, I believe it's safe to say that every single city with over three million people in it is beyond a reasonable doubt be hit by aliens, not necessarily annhialated, but hit.

St. Petersburg is destroyed, but I am still expecting a ground attack on Moscow...which I am going to make as costly as I can to those alien bastards with trench war and such...and chemical weapons...anyways, Hanako, if you want to keep them alive then defend them the hard way: men, tanks, and guns at the gates of the city killing wave upon wave of aliens.

Yeah, especially with Tokyo/Seoul/Osaka being hit.

And I'll have a post up about that later tonight.

I'm allowing AB free flowing attacks on everywhere besides my capitals really, as I'd like to have a say there considering I defo only want them to be 'hit' - and I'd prefer some not to be devastated. I'm not saying that the aliens can't attack all my major cities (though to be fair I don't have many at all over three million - London I think is the only one, though including metro areas Madrid is in there etc.), and I'll strongly defend Paris and London especially, however I'm saying I'd prefer the most damage to be done to my Southern Capitals currently...

So basically I'm pretty much letting him attack Rome, Lisbon and Yugoslavian state capitals for now - not saying I will not allow him to hit other areas later though.

The problem is, I have so many beautiful historic European capitals - it's going to be so hard to see one or two attacked - you'll have to keep away from the Roman Colosseum, seriously ;)

LOL; yeah; Northpole is unique; its like our Area 51 and until we started moving people there was our most secret base. you can hit New Dehli but I'd like my government to be alive for a while yet and in return you can pretty much score Islamabad and Mumbai, Lahore and Dhaka off the face of the earth if you want

Also AB: How many F-23s and F-35s would we have bought from you at the momment just so I can get a rough idea of my airforce capabiliys I plan a large Aerial attack.

I'm going after the most populous or iconic cities (ie, I'd like to nab Stockholm or Vienna eventually, Beijing is toast, NYC is going to get fighter-attacked, Chicago will go up in flames just like D.C. is, St Petersburg, Tokyo, and Oslo have already been hit, and Mexico D.F., Quebec City, Toronto, L.A., Vancouver, Dallas/Fort Worth, Montreal, New Delhi, Osaka, Seoul, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Sydney, Vladivostok, Novograd, Moscow, Athens, Johannesberg, Cairo, Jerusalem, Lagos, Algiers, Mombassa, Madrid, Rome, Lisbon, Venice, Naples, and Kiev are all on my list (I have no idea whether some nations are still around, hence my refraining from attacking Rio de Janiero, Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, and a couple others).)

In this way, new cities, some that have been overlooked-Hamburg, Jacksonville, San Antonio, Versailles, Leningrad, Dhaka, Hiroshima, Praetonia, and others can come on the map and become the new cosmopolitan powers, assuming these aliens get defeated. It's cleaning the old and giving birth to the new.

For instance, my capital is going to move. I don't know where, I'm probaly relocating to the Midwest (I considered St. Louis. Might be a nice place), but it'll get out of (burning) Chicago. I wager that Courbornne will move from Tokyo, because that's getting roasted right now. Moscow will probaly be intact, but it's going to get the brunt of the ground attack against it. Mexico City is gonna get hit. Berlin is a possibility, as is New Delhi.

That's several capitals right there-and from it, new growth will emerge.

Yeah, I plan to keep Moscow as my capital and load it up with monuments and such comemerating those who died in the war.

ANYWAYS...AB, May I suggest you move your capital to St. Paul lol? Don't go to Murderapolis, though, too much crime lol.

Indianapolis can be an effective Transitional Capital.

Lol...I just call it the Twin Cities (not as bad as the rednecks in Charlottesville who are actually from this boondocks state who call it the "Twan Cities" - a as in apple :P)

I like the Midwest due to its safety, plus, I don't like the West Coast. However, I also like the prospect of NYC if it survives, possibly Philly (if it survives), Charlotte, or Cincinnati.

Could always go with tried-and-true Florida (ooh-rah! Besides the fact that the "institutes of higher learning" aren't particularly of the "higher learning"-why I had to abandon the state).

I could go with the "Twan Cities".

Hey all, sorry i've been gone...So whats been going on? Can i get a deatailed explanation of whats going on? Is there anything that will require my attention?

Twan cities lol.

If you do, I have three things that should be on the number one on your list.

1. Pimp out Mendota Heights.

2. Try to get Murderapolis to lose its grizzly reputation.

3. Arrest all drunks in the warehouse district, god those assholes piss me off.

Hey! You came back just in time to get you ass handed to you...again.

Don't worry, this time we're ALL in for it lol.

(Alien Invasion!!!1!!)

Dammit! I thought you ment Illegal Alien Invasion....pfft but if you want your UFO aliens whatever...

Dammit! So much for my hide under a rock until the aliens go bye bye plan...pfft...They never mention anything about Latin America in any alein movie i ever saw

What about Signs? They had that video of the alien from Brazil.

They did in Independence Day, which is essentially my motivation for the attack plan (at least, the initial one. Then it's going to get ground out into a long-ass fight).

Ooh, you have some good cities too, Marxikhan. I thinK Caracas and Quito need some lovin'.

Well finally got my lazy tushie to post in the Alien thread.

So you can blast away Mexico City. Always found it crowded. Plus from the looks of it, you're only destroying one of my cities.
n
But Toronto! I live there! lol I'm going to see brimstone and fire rain from my skies tonight. Have a poutine or Timmies and reconsider :D

(lol just kidding, do whatever you please ;) )

if New Dehli gets Scored I'd probably go with Mumbai/Bombay as my new capital providing that dosn't get roasted too; though we have a pimping defence budget and also pump lots of money into social welfare; education and healthcare so unlike the real india our people are well; fed and strong more than poor so do bare that in mind.

I plan on trying to launch a massive Areial attack on one of the battleships if it heads into my space..how many fighters did you say those Pinical class ships can carry AB?

and how many F-23/35s would you have shipped to us thus far?

Nah, it's just the first one. I might hit some more later (when I figure out which of your cities to hit...I already nailed Veracruz with cruise missiles, so I'll take a pass there). I'm not a big Central American geo buff-Wikipedia guide me.

Blast Away my friend...i mean my main capital and Lima(my best city) are already messed up bad...Might just start rebuilding a new Federal City for capital

You know, China needs some lovin', too. I can't wait to hear what Eralineta come back to find he has lost his nation AND it's blown to shit. The NKVD are going to be mighty busy holding Siberia from "Fugee's" lol.

Er, how many did you order again?

The Pinnacle-class battleship can carry ~180 fighters/interceptors/assault fighters and twenty dropships/gunships.

Granate: Well, maybe I'll pass on Cincy (all the Bengals get arrested anyway...). Indy possibly (I just want Boston dead-I'll make sure that city goes up big time [and maybe I'll take out Brownback as Vice Chancellor there as well and get two eyesores out]).

I think ALL of china should be gone....just blown off the map...Or maybe we could leave it open. And when the invasion is over we can all fight over whats left of it

Yeah, Shanghai, Xianjing, Beijing, Hong Kong...bye.

Marx: that's a good idea, actually, to just build a new capital. I would do that, except that I have too many cities as it is.

I think ALL of china should be gone....just blown off the map...Or maybe we could leave it open. And when the invasion is over we can all fight over whats left of it

I'll probaly leave Manchuria and Northern China unscathed, since it's less populated than Middle and Southern China.

My factbook has the 10 biggest cities in my nation.

I like how my largest city is 20 million and my second largest is like 4 million. Like a 16 million gap right there :p

lol if worst comes to worst, you can blow up the mountains dividing my country

That would be pretty cool. Or do something with all your funky temples in the Yucatan that the Mayans and company left behind.

in a word...plenty; over 300 odd F-23As and avout 200+ F-35'; the exact figures escape me but I know the order wouldn't be complete so the rough figers should give you an idea of how many we got.

whatts the Point defence like on your battleships?

The Flak Cannons are the true Point-Defense weapons, and they act like how you think they would (accept that the flak shrapnel isn't just your run-of-the-mill basic shards; the primary charge blows off a bunch of depleted-uranium, armor-piercing needles at .1 c (speed of light)). There's 58 on the Pinnacle, though primarily located around the fore and aft (there are still some in the middle).

The primary anti-fighter weapon in the middle are the plasma cannons, which are a significantly stronger weapon (since they're pretty much going to burn straight through any sort of metal, unless it's the kind of space stuff that the Amalgamation is used to fighting that Earth has probaly never even heard of or even created in a lab). There's fifty of 'em across the vessel, and they're a bit more accurate than the Flak Cannons.

The Rocket launchers can technically target fighters, but they're strictly long to medium range, as they're more meant for bombardment or engaging capital ships in space.

You can technically get around all those, but a blind charge (like the Germans in Oslo are about to find out, heehee) isn't going to work particularly well.

As for the order, I'd say you could count about 5/8ths of each order about done (I'd put that around 200 Black Widow Dueces and 140 Lighting II's).

Think outside the box :P.

Conventional tactics won't beat any Titan, but creatvity and a little hob-jobbing can.

Well I was going to try High Altitude bombing the top of the ship with laser guided muntions...or extreamly libral use of napalm and FAE's

Outside the box. Vx is so conventional :P

Try going for things you may never go before. Maybe that doesn't include weaponry.

Do know this, though, as consolation. Some lucky winner (or volunteer) will get to have a covert mission pulled on them by a Zealot force (two in particular)-and there, a lot of transitional moves will be made. An Understanding, perhaps.

If it's a fight they want, then they will be in for surprise. I hope you meant the Enforcers, I kinda like the Zealots.

Yah, the oily monkeys will be coming down along with their smallish Enigmat friends.

Good, that means I did my work well-I'm trying to make it seem like the reptilians (particularly the Zealots) are the "good guys" of the Amalgamation, while the mammals are the true bad dudes (while the Infection just sits in the background, playing strings when they ain't fighting...trust me, Crypt and his crew will cause a few twists in the story before it's all said and done).

I think the Amalgamation will be surprised when they hear about my Vampyr. To say the least anyway.

Well, the Enforcers will be, at the very least (the Progenitors, probaly not, because they're just in it for themselves-they could care less about their subjects, and as the religious leaders, they probaly expect humanity, as what they deem as the ancient enemies of their own demi-Gods, to have something up their sleeve). But Lethe and his crew are just a bunch of barbarians who will probaly be like "What...little monkeys are killing big monkeys!"

Damn monkeys...they think they're so hot.

BTW, since Kazakhstan is mine now, I plan on reopening "Anthrax Island" on the Aral Sea. I need to empty the stash inside there with this newfound foe.

Anthrax...last time I used that was in Command and Conquer as the GLA (fun use, as well, especially against the Chinese).

The GLA owns in C&C, though (I mean, little Chinese and Americans with their high-tech weaponry and massive rockets are nothing compared to the terrorists!)

Yeah, IRL a US company went there to dispose of over 2 TONS of Anthrqax and other deadly bilogical and chemical substances...well in ESS that never happened lol.

Jesus. 2 tons...you wouldn't even need Anthrax's chemical properties, you could just suffocate someone with it.

Jesus. 2 tons...you wouldn't even need Anthrax's chemical properties, you could just suffocate someone with it.

Well, considering that it is all military-graed refined Anthrax, and that an envelope filled with that grade of 'thrax is enough to kill the entire US population if distributed correctly, I'd say it could kill every living thing on the planet a few thousand times over lol.

Scud Storm :)

That would be fun :P

Anyone else volunteer up to an Amalgamation insertion mission? I'll pick who a little later.

All hell has pretty much broken loose with World Leaders being taken away for safety reasons. I dunno where they would be, but I expect AB has an Idea.

Kinda forgot about the NYC conference, though you can post about your leaders trying to get the hell out of town in the Alien IC thread when the fighters come and make an NYC raid.

Candistan and Animarnia have TGs (Granate, gonna send you one later).

I replied AB.

Candistan and Animarnia have TGs (Granate, gonna send you one later).

How much later?

How much later?

Tomorrow. I'm thinking about how to launch it still (it will be revealed in the TG).

AB, you have one more TG just asking a few questions.

Tomorrow. I'm thinking about how to launch it still (it will be revealed in the TG).

Aight.

AB, you have one more TG just asking a few questions.

Replied on both.

AB, I responded on the other TG's you sent me.

I would like Jordan, Liechtenstein, Monaco, United Arab Emirates, and Oman.
We would be called the Federation of Mathism.

Thanks.

Liechtenstein is GGA, Monaco is basically mine (however I've never claimed it I suppose...I just didn't think about the mircrostates.) - look back to your last post in this thread, I gave you some 'good' advice about which countries to take - I say choose mostly the remaining Middle Eastern ones, and there are some.

Corbournne: TG headed your way outlining some basic details.

I'll get a post up shortly enough-I picked Candistan based on my initial questions to both Animarnia and Candistan. Meanwhile, the rest of ya'll can expect some harsher stuff to start falling :P

And Entente guys with people in NYC, watch your heads.

AB, you can hit Lisbon or Rome in the next round of attacks - I want to start RPing in this. Though much of these cities pop. has been evacuated, there are still remaining people.

or attack could you attack africa or something? i want to get involved

Yes please hit Africa. I want to get invloved.:mp5:

Yes please hit Africa. I want to get invloved.:mp5:

Lagos and Johannesburg are going to be hit. Mostly because they are among the most powerful cities on the continent.

May I send my poorly equipped forces to help your nation?

May I send my poorly equipped forces to help your nation?

No. The damage will be quite small in comparison to most other cities in the world, because evacuations have already begun.

AB: I thought I was getting a Telegram today.... you make me sad.

The Federation of Mathism will take Egypt, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Oman and United Arab Emirates. Thanks for your advice Honako.

Thanks

OOOHHH a new player in the middle east. Don't mess with my holdings in Iran and Kuwait... Lolz welcome

AB, I sent you a TG, but I will state the contents here as well. You did not respond to my fighter pilot when you responded as the aliens. You talked about the ground but not the air. I need him to get shot down so he can bail and my guy in the city can find him, and they can make it back to Visby...

Iran was never agreed to an in my opinion will never be agreed to, mainly for logistics and geographical reasons. Also the Persian people are quite proud of their heritage and would probably see this as their chance for revolution.

AB, a few facts about Lison assuming you'll attack it as my first city - it has a pop of around 2 million, however 3/4 of that is in outter areas, so it's safe to say the population has gone down to around 300,000 - 400,000 (mostly inner city as it's harder to get out) due to military evacuation started around one week ago (well, probably four days for Lisbon as it was a secondary pritority). Another thing is that there are around 60,000 of those people trying to escape on the two bridges of Lisbon (Vasco De Gama (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasco_da_Gama_Bridge) and 25 de Abril Bridge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagus_Bridge) - two of the longest bridges in Europe) - though heavily defended, these could be a source of some destruction - if you want to be really cruel. ;)

Replies:

Mathism, Accepted.

Candistan, per your TG elements, I will stay aware of that (hint).

Honako: I'll be sure to inflict plenty of hurtin' on the Portuguese.

Kamp: TGed you the elements, I'll get on it.


UPDATE: Kamp, edited my post to include attacking Miller's fighter.

UPDATE: Kamp, edited my post to include attacking Miller's fighter.

OK, thanks. I'll get on to replying to that.

I made a reply to your post, AB.

Basically, what I plan to do is make a massive trench lined with fortifications and artillery. It's going to be pretty tense for the soldiers in the trenches right before the battls with the Russian Orthodox priests going around praying for the soldiers, makes 'em think about themselves a little.

Lol, Nerve Agents? Good luck with those (I'd suggest you go a little further back in history if you want a keeper, hint. But you can find out by expiramentation, I guess).

I also plan on developing the characters of the five Fenrir pilots in the coming posts. They are going to be considered gods by the rest of the URAF when they see some of the new menuevers they can pull with their "upgrades."

AB: What's going on about Ascension?

Lol, Nerve Agents? Good luck with those (I'd suggest you go a little further back in history if you want a keeper, hint. But you can find out by expiramentation, I guess).

There's plenty of fun stuff in Russia...and it's all just a plane ride away. Hopefully it wont't come to 'thrax, that could have some serious reprecussions in the long run. But beubonic plague, on the other hand...

AB, replied to your post, and I sent a message to you in the market thread.

Lucky me, the Biopreparat has some stores of Pnuemonic Plague and Smallpox in its inventory, along with some anthrax and other wonderful bacterial ailments.

My claim to Kenya was accepted so I guess I'm in ESS now, but I'm a little confused. I knew there were going to be aliens in this scenario, but vampires? I was hoping for more realism than that. I'm reconsidering whether I even want to play now.

I think Granates vampires are just a little experiment in development thing - it's not like he's going to unleash a vampire army on you. If he is planning too...then I have my doubts as well! I'm looking forward to RP the destruction of Lisbon.

I should fly some TOS-1's into Moscow...

Anyways, AB has TG.

Also, to Nartenia, he isn't going to have a massive army of them. He specified that in the development post. I'm pretty sure he's only having at most a dozen or so.

if it comes to ground war; I'm going to be using a libral amount of napalm; FAE's and flame throwers; and posably Mustard Gas

Yes I read about the suspension of disbelief, but I didn't think it would be taken in that direction. Really, the experimentally created "vampyrs" isn't even so much what I have a problem with. He just gratuitously added into the same thread that vampires are supposed to be real in this world and all the governments know it, but are keeping it secret.

I thought suspension of disbelief meant that you could make up things about your own country, but that part is more like godmodding for the whole world. For me to play along with it, it doesn't just mean that his country created a superhuman with science and called it a "vampyr", it means that MY COUNTRY "knows" that the vampires of legend are also real and is keeping it a secret as part of some worldwide conspiracy.

There was no reason he even needed to add that, it exceeds the rules on suspension of disbelief in my opinion and it kind of ruins it for me.

But I'm a brand new player so maybe nobody cares what I think.

Well, even though that he has Vampyr, I don't think it is a huge deal. They aren't going to totally change the course of a war by running around in the dark killing all of your generals and gov't officials, and they can be killed.

I don't know if you're right about the godmodding thing, but this isn't hte most realistic game in the world to begin with.

Maybe instead of complaining you should just use it to your advantage. That's what I'm doing. If he can have vampyrs, I can have people from a parallel universe come visit Australia which is what I'm doing. It gives me no military advantage whatsoever so it is clearly within the rules.

:confused: Chickawhat?

THat's what that thing in Bullabulling, Australia is really about. If there's too much objection to it, I can just say it was some out of town people and the whole incident was nothing but paranoia whipped up by the UFO scare.

But my thought was this: what if it is possible to travel between parallel universes? Then from time to time, we'd probably be visited by people who can travel that way. But they would be human just like us. At least some of them would speak our languages. They wouldn't really stand out. Even if they said where they came from people wouldn't believe them. At least, not under ordinary circumstances.

But if a nation is in the grip of paranoia about aliens coming and everyone is looking for something out of the ordinary, then travellers from a parallel universe who otherwise might not have been noticed, would be noticed. People wouldn't suspect what they really are. Instead, they'd be suspected of being aliens. If the country had been in a paranoid frenzy about spies, they would have been suspected of being spies instead. If the country were freaking out about communist infiltrators, they'd be thought to be communists. If the country were going berzerk about terrorists, they'd be suspected of being terrorists.

Anyway, so far all I've said is that there were lights in the outback on the ground and that afterwards some guys who looked human were seen coming into the town of Bullabulling from that direction and were suspected of being aliens. I can still say they were ordinary guys, but my idea is that they have come from a parallel universe and will say so now that they have been taken in for questioning by the local police and a bunch of guys from Project Skywatch.

Is this unacceptable in a world with vampires, aliens and suspension of disbelief?

Trust me, Nartenia, your input matters just as much as everyone's here-we're a team on this Earth, and the full participation of every member is wanted-whether that's you, me, Candistan, Granate, Honako, or any of us.

To move into the meat:

Granate's project with "Vampyrs" regards somewhat around my Area 51. I use a real conspiracy-the alien landing at Roswell, covered up by the government. Plenty of people know about, heck, other countries do. However, no one actually knows whether or not it's really true. Here in ESS, I answer the question-yes, aliens did actually land there, and it was a governmental conspiracy. It's just that I took the storyline a bit further by making the aliens return for a sequel.

Granate's project goes off the old myth, as well-none of us truly know whether Vampires existed. Maybe they actually did-I couldn't tell you. But Granate's country is undergoing genetical testing after exploring the subject-in this way, his project is actually even more feasible than my own Area 51 thing. He is using science to essentially replicate an old myth from legend (true or not? Who knows) into fact through gene manipulation and DNA replication.

Granted, in ESS, every pro-move-whether it's my own Area 51, or Granate's Vampyr, or Wagdog's Elves-has a counter. I'm not sure what their counters are, but in mine, Area 51 works against the Republic government, and truelly ends up controlling many governmental moves; kind of a shadow government that even the president doesn't know about. It's a boon for science, but greed has made it also into a cancer for America.

Quid pro quo is the name of the game with the "Suspension of Disbelief". As with the Australian Mirror People just introduced here in OOC-sure, they can happen. However, if they are going to bring a positive impact-like Area 51-they must also bring ramifications to the impact. If they don't bring any noticeable positive impact, than it's just a thign of observation (I think that's how Wagdog uses his Elves).


Oh, and Stendaria: Sounds good-go ahead and proceed with the Alternate Universe people with full steam. 'Specially sounds good as people across the ESS world are getting their illusions of reality shattered by hostile extraterrestrials.

Woops, forgot to mention:

Granate, TG. Also, one to you, Nart (just detailing ESS a little bit-call it my advertising campaign, to be a truthful politician :P)

yeah, Stendaria I wasn't saying you couldn't do it, it's just that was the first time I had ever heard anyone in ESS talk about that. Sorry.

AB, I set up the hospital for the insertion, so go ahead.

Gotcha. Land attack will precede it by a little bit, but same post.

Gotcha.

I replied AB, sorry I just got back from seeing Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End.

Worth it in my opinion. Also don't expect much RPing from me tommorow or sunday as I have work. But for tonight WE DINE IN..... damnit I did it again. Whatever, I will be on NS tonight for quite a while.

AB, can you respond to my pilot?

Hello, is this Hell restaurant? I need a reservation for 300. [/bad joke]

Anyway, I know I said earlier that i'll be gone until the 30th, but it turns out that they do have computers in this hotel, as crappy as they may be, so I can at least stay up to date. And odds are they'll have one in the next hotel in Amsterdam, so i'm at least here, though i'm definitely not the busiest one here. Full speed ahead with the full-on alien invasion of China! (Hint, hint.) ;)

AB has TG

I reread the rules and saw the part about "fantasy races". I must have missed that the first time I read it.

So with apologies to Granate and thanks to a personal TG plea by Amazonian Beasts to stay in the game, I will continue.

But it is still the official position of the government of Kenya that there are no such things as vampires, no matter how they are spelled. We also don't believe in aliens. :)

On the subject of the Elves, I haven't seen that anywhere. What thread is that on?

That is the 'official' positon of the WEF as well - we don't believe in anything fantasy. However, it's kinda of hard to keep that positon when everythings being destroyed around you by an alien race.

Okay. I found some references to Elves, Werewolves and even a were-tigress on Wagdog's factbook. He's got them on his cabinet. Vampires, too. So Granate's post is still incorrect about the existence of Vampires being something all the governments of the world are keeping secret. Wagdog is not keeping it a secret.

It remains the position of the government of Kenya that there are no such things as Vampires, Were-wolves, Were-tigresses, Elves or aliens. We don't believe in the Easter Bunny, either. Not only is it our position that none of these exist, we note that all of these are derived from European myths. We not only consider the belief in such things to be superstitious nonsense, we consider the prevalence of such myths in South Africa and the South Pacific Islands to be a relic of European colonialism.

We are analyzing the recent news footage of alien attacks to see what Hollywood special effects have been used. We STILL don't believe in aliens.

(I'm taking a bit of a lead here from Stendaria's hilarous posts about his government thinking they made up the aliens. I am determined that Kenya will be the LAST nation to admit that the aliens are real. If we ever do. It would be amusing if they attacked us and we continued to deny their existence.)

I'm going to expand on this in an IC post.

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been around, but I have finals coming up next week..and then summer! But until then, I've got lots of studying. Especially for my chemistry final on tuesday, it's supposed to be super hard, since no one's ever aced it, and I bombed it last semester, so...

By the way, Candistan, Renewal is waiting. I just want that finished up (since your guy could be speaking for the city...) and then AB can hit Lagos.

Can do. I just finished off the interceptor you fired on (he'll have a while to enjoy his thoughts on the way towards the ground), but started firing on your dude again with some others...so you should be able to finish that out pretty well.

Cool. Then I can RP the guy in the city finding him and shit...

Works for me. You mind me striking Vienna? I didn't include it on the IC list, but I think that'd go well, especially with the history behind the city and attacks.

Sure, do it. But if it isn't up by monday, I won't be able to reply. And most of the people are gone by now, as we started evacs when Oslo got wasted

That's cool, I just want to strike closer to Germany, so I can start paving the way for more "European" strikes (as Lisbon, while fun to attack, is kinda out of the way...hitting Vienna can go hand-in-hand with a Rome strike).

OK. Well if you ever strike at Germany, expect one hell of a fight. And its time to unleash your arsenal on Miller. He needs to go down.

I kicked it into a higher gear-got my "laser MG" going on him, as well as another rocket. If need be, I can reroute the cruiser to take a shot at him and really blow the snot outta the Gripen.

True, but driving the fear of God into him would be fun (though I guess I could do that by shooting at him and missing as he ejects).

Hes ejecting. Feel free to light up the air around him. Even rip some shreds in his parachute, I'll have him hit the ground hard.

This hospital thing is going to be a funny one.

Well, that got more of a reaction than I expected. AB, I see that the aliens are bombing African cities now. A strike on Nairobi would seem appropriate now. Bomb away.

Stendaria, I would have said we don't believe in parallel universes either, but you haven't posted anything that tells the world what's happening. What is this parallel universe thing anyway?

I'm only asking just so I can say it doesn't exist. :D

By the way, if anybody noticed the absurdity of the government of Kenya saying terrorism didn't affect them despite the fact that the carbomb attack on the US Embassy in Nairobi in 1998 killed hundreds and wounded about 5,000 people, that's because in this world, that didn't happen.

I just thought your president was an idiot *laugh* hmmm does your President have a Violin? he can play it while Nairobi burns...

Ok whatever, I'll just assume Jordan is won. Which means I get all those new German tanks....:cool:

Since the alien thing is coming up, I'll delay the strike against Lebanon. For now, my military is going home...but not for long.

AB: Yeah, you can strike whatever big city you want.

I don't think you can just assume it's won - though your in a similar situation to me (I gave up invading Greece and took the Balkland states) - so Candistan can either surrender Jordan or you can accept what you have of it now and deal with it later.

AB, I'll RP your ships scaring people in Lisbon and my forces preparing for a fight, but please attack soon.

Well, Candistan did sort of "surrender" to me already. His military isn't even defending his country, and one of his guys said that the "war is won". Of course, making it official would be final, which is what I'm waiting for him to do...

If the Imam doesn't do it, I'll just proceed to Amman and obliterate him there. If he does (which it seems likely) I'll claim victory, occupy Jordan, and begin RPing Algiers.

AB: Actually, Algiers was a good decision - I don't want my capital to become a big pile of ash. And there aren't as many people too.

Sounds good, but I'd still like to attack Lagos (via ground, because I like the geographical layout of the city for such), rather than a big bombardment like I've done to other cities. That'll spare you total obliteration (especially if the whole break-up of the Amalgamation starts).


Also: For kicks, we seem to be having a hostage situation aboard Core Habitat going on-with at least 3 committed (Candistan's Russian Sailor, the American girl, and soon-to-be-up Emperor Akihito, if I interpreted Corbournne correctly)-would anyone else like to be part of a break-out when the shit hits the fan between the species?

AB: You can go ahead and make the Ascension attack. I may not be able to reply though before I have to go to work. I probably won't be off until 11:30 or 12:00.

Sounds good, I'll proceed.

(You did indeed interpret correctly.)

I posted in the Invasion Thread.

And, just as a side note, I don't intend any of the Royal Family to survive this invasion.

Well, I have a plan I'm willing to hatch with Algiers...if it's done properly, then perhaps you will get another hostage. I just need the word from Candistan, and then I'm off RPing Algiers. Plus, that chemistry final is looking scary right now, so I might not be on too often.

Well, I would say you could have my leader, but you've already killed her :p So how about my crazy Pope joining you, unless you want him destroyed when you attack Rome - I mean, after all, he is effectively the leader of the world's largest relgion, something that may interest the aliens.

ooh, that'd be cool. Since Rome is going to be under preliminary attack with the post I'm writing now (ground attack with air support, not just a "BAM! PWNED" destruction like D.C. or Oslo).

Corbournne: Works for me.

Futuris: Works as well. I'm no chemistry guy, so take your time with NS.

Well, good - how very interesting the Pope's presence will be, I'll RP him as very Stubborn. A few details about Lisbon and Rome - Rome is the far more defended of the two cities, however Lisbon does have lot of SAM's, anti-air defences etc. however both cities are pretty empty, with most people left in Rome surronding the Pope, and most people left in Lisbon on the bridges on running around the streets like mad people.

I hope Lisbon's defenders aren't in the city center, because it won't be standing too much longer...

AB, could you tell me of the alien ships weak points - or else I'll never do damage!

Hit the Seismic Cannons (They're in a diamond grid a the bottom of the battleships, in a 3x4 rectangular grid on the supercarriers) to knock out their primary weapon of destroying stuff.

To really knock it out, there's three primary spots needed to be hit.

The engines-on the actual things that will need progressive destruction (battleships and supercarriers, the other three can be blown up by conventional means), there's four on the battleships and six on the carriers. Not exactly the toughest targets-and they're the biggest. Obviously, blow through the shields first to get to them.

The command cluster-the hardest target, fairly small, and on top of the ship. It's easy to spot, it's a pyramidal spire that stands twenty meters off the surface of the ship. Problem is, it has its own dedicated shield generator. It's tough but beatable, especially with your arsenal at air.

Final thing to hit would be three ventral energy conduits-fairly large, so you should be able to hit them. They provide power to the rear section from the primary internal reactor, as well as stabilizing the anti-grav.

Ok - it's unlikely my post will be up by tonight, so don't attack Lisbon any further in it's absense. Same with Rome, though you can start 'marching in' if you want.

I hope that, even though I didn't specify targets, it can be assumed, with the great amount of fire I've put on it, that some of the missles hit said locations on the ship.

Anyway, I'd like to see the aliens stand up to what I'm throwing at 'em.

Wow, I shouldn't have said that.

Yeah, you're gonna blow up the Tokyo one-shields are alreayd down to 20%, and your guys knocked out the Seismic Cannons with a lucky shot (detailed in the thread) with the shields still active.

If you wanna see what they can do, wait until Osaka (evil laugh)

Well, the Tokyo part's good to know...

Futuris, consider it won for the time being. I'll RP the civilian overthrow later.

If the Vatican gets attacked or anything is done to the Pope, that will matter a lot to Kenya. Kenya is about 25% Roman Catholic, 7% Protestant, 5% Moslem and the rest are various traditional religions. More importantly, the political and business leaders of the country are overwhelmingly Christian, primarily Catholic. President Jomo Nzibo is a dedicated Catholic with an ordained priest as his most trusted advisor.

Oh good, more turmoil!

Yeah, the Pope is probaly going to get kidnapped, and the Vatican either dug up or blasted into rubble and then dug up. The aliens think there's some "Holy Stuff" underneath the Vatican.

Will do. I'll post up the reponse in Renewal later, I'm tired and I need to get some sleep.

Sweet, then Algiers can meet its doom :D

Sweet, then Algiers can meet its doom :D

Maybe I'll emply some of those tactics, eh? :p

Well, the ones that don't include pumping as much explosive material at the ship as possible in that short timeframe.

I'll respond to posts (as well as making Las Vegas/Nellis AFB into a gigantic WWE Smackdown arena) tomorrow...still thinking how I want to do this.

Hey, ground attack at Vienna as well as air, and you can nab Luna to take aboard the Core Habitat for the breakout.

Ooh, more hostages, I like.

Yeah, I'll hit Vienna with a ground attack (at this rate, i'll have one per nation on the ground...)

Well, considering around 1/6 on the worlds population, over 1 billion people, are followers, it's likely that his kidnapping will matter to most even more than Japan's Emperor.

Well, that got more of a reaction than I expected. AB, I see that the aliens are bombing African cities now. A strike on Nairobi would seem appropriate now. Bomb away.

Stendaria, I would have said we don't believe in parallel universes either, but you haven't posted anything that tells the world what's happening. What is this parallel universe thing anyway?

I'm only asking just so I can say it doesn't exist. :D


I'm thinking that they would be from a very different world. Like this one:

http://www.micromaps.org/maps/political.png

That's the planet Micras. It's one of the main worlds of micronations. Since it has humans on it and they speak English, French, Spanish and other Earth languages, plus some languages like Babkhan, that are not spoken on Earth, and even have some technologies like M-60 tanks, for example that are identical to Earth and even have the same names, but they have no contact with Earth, I figure they are in a bizarre parallel universe where humans evolved on a different planet in a different solar system. Micras orbits a star called Atos so I guess it's the Atos System. By a bizarre coincidence, their world has a lot of similarities to Earth. In their universe, the English, French and Spanish languages developed on Micras, not Earth and M-60 tanks are manufactured by a country called the Empire of the Alexandrians, not the United States. Earth may not even exist in their universe.

If you don't know what micronations are, this might help:

www.micronations.net (http://www.micronations.net)

Micronations are like people creating their own small nations. Some of them are just for fun like NS nations. Some are a bit more serious. Some, like the Principality of Sealand, actually got control of territory and are really countries now. Some of them only have one citizen, usually the king or dictator. Those are like NS nations. Most of them have more than one person. Some have hundreds. One of them, the Kingdom of Lovely, has over 50,000 citizens and was featured on BBC television in Britain.

The micronations I'm involved with are sort of like NS with the forums, but without the game. Except Micronations are much, much more advanced than NS. The map of Micras is from a bunch of micronations getting together years ago to agree to have a map that shows where each country is.

In Micronations, my brother is the King of Zindaria and I am the Prime Minister of Zindaria. Zindaria is on the Micras map. It's a chain of islands in the southwest part of the map. On the latest version of the map at the time I'm posting this, they're in purple. If anybody wants to visit our country to see what micronations are like, come to our forums here:

http://p207.ezboard.com/bzindaria

You can join as a citizen and we'll give you a position like cabinet minister, army officer or something like that. Or you can start a company or a political party. There is likely to be a war soon so we need more army officers.

Micronations wars are called "recwars" and are a lot more realistic than NS wars. Recwars aren't real wars, of course. Most Micronations have stopped doing real wars and say they won't do them anymore. For most micronations, real wars involved hacking each others forums. For the bigger micronations, it's much more serious. Sealand once had a real war when criminals from Germany showed up with guns and tried to take over their country. The Prince's son was captured and held prisoner. The Prince of Sealand came back by helicopter from Britain with some more guys with guns and recaptured his country which is a big platform in the North Sea. They let most of the invaders go, but held one of them as a prisoner of war until a diplomat from the German government showed up and negotiated his release. That was a long time ago, in the 1970s I think.

In Zindaria we don't do any real wars, just recwars and wargames.

So in micronations, Zindaria dug up an ancient device that can allow people to travel to parallel universes. The device is from a computer game called Control of Destiny2 which is based on micronations. I realize this is complicated. Anyway, we found the device because the land that our micronation is on is the same land that used to be a very old micronation called Jasonia that had much more advanced technology than anyone on Micras has now. Today, we just got some scientists from a company called Smedlytech in a micronation called the Democratic Republic of Riponia to fix the machine for us.

We call it the Kajar Machine because we found it in the ruins of a city called Kajar. I want to use it to have Zindarians show up in all sorts of different games. I'm thinking this one would be the first. Your comments on realism problems in this game is making me reconsider that. Maybe I shouldn't mix micronations with this Earth. The parallel universe guys could be from somewhere else, not Zindaria.

About those alien shields...what exactly are they? I mean, like do they have a 100% kind of thing, that over time as it's bombarded, is reduced to 90%, 80%, and so on? (kind of like titan shields on Battlefield 2142)? Like, how exactly does one get through them?

The alien shield is an ablative magnetised energy field that is portruded several millimeters off the hull of a vessel in question. It's ablative in the sense that fully charged, the shield yields a 100% efficiency. However, as various things strike the shield, small holes are opened up in the shield and a fraction of a second later, energy is swept over that hole to cover it. However, this gradually depletes the strength of the shield, in effect that eventually the shield generator itself can produce no more energy at the given time, and the shield falls. Though on a fighter or small craft the Amalgamation shields can be raised in about 5 minutes if not under any stress, the ones on capital ships can take far more time to raise again.

So, pound on them long enough to get effect, or get lucky by sending up projectiles in split-second margins (ie, what happened to the one over Tokyo)

I see...so in other words, the shields stop only fast-moving projectiles, or will they stop everything (i.e. a person walking up to it (if it was on the ground or something))

I posted in the alien thread, and settled things in Renewal. If you want to, Candistan, you can do the civilian resistance in there, but maybe a little bit after the aliens are done scorching my lands? It would be....difficult to put up with things going on in two or three places at once in my Empire. If you really want to, you could RP resentment growing and bubbling in Jordan or something. :p

By the way, I'm going to Poland to visit family from around the 21st of June to that same time in July, so for about a month. There is a chance we could be staying longer though. I'm pretty sure that the interweb will be available there, but it could be slower, and it might cost more, etc. Plus, I haven't seen my Polish family in about four years, so I won't be on NS as much. Just a heads up for the future.

I see...so in other words, the shields stop only fast-moving projectiles, or will they stop everything (i.e. a person walking up to it (if it was on the ground or something))

Oh, they stop everything. Just, pound on it enough and they go down.

Doesn't neccessarily have to be bullets and missiles. Ie, if you crashed a satellite into a ship, that'd do considerably more damage.

Well, this Earth is beginning to recede into the darkness of the lands of BUMP.

Anyways, I'm going to start RPing some stuff in Algiers, seeing as how everything else is pretty much settled for me.

I'll get back on to the alien thread here shortly...

I think were waiting on a reply from AB

EDit: :) yay

Hey guys, I'm going to leave soon for a vacation and won't be back until monday. So if there is anything urgent for the GGA, someone can fill in for me.

You know, there's probably a much more tactically efficient way of using your alien arsenal. It's just that, sending ship after ship to destroy cities slowly seems...risky. Not that I would want more effective tactics being used, and I can see why you're doing it the way you are (you are much more experienced at RPing - you probably see better tactics too :)) :p

bye guys - im going on vacation until monday!!!!

See ya then. Anyone can fill in for me on this world if neccessary, since there really are no n00bs (unlike Cold War 07)

:p

Trust me, just blowing up cities is actually rather pointless-Hitler proved that in WW2. However, these aliens are just looking for genocide, and the mammalian command (though the reptilian races don't) severely underestimates humanity's resilience and moral resolve, if not lack of tech.

I'm probaly gonna keep tactics pretty shitty for the Amalgamation until a split happens, when they'll really crank up the heat (since they're used to fighting advanced civilizations, and I can ratchet up to FT tactics-though it's not always pretty :P)

I would like to say that though I like this RP I can not continue to participate at the moment. I'm not used to having control over a nation and am more acustomed to guerilla organizations than a nation. Also due to the position I have in this rp which isn't significant I can see my leaving having no consquences.

Sten - I've heard of micronations, but that world is still not all that realistic. I'm a fanatic about realism. Here's a game I'm involved in running:


http://nationsandempires1.blogspot.com (http://nationsandempires1.blogspot.com)

You won't find a more realistic game.

But that's beside the point. You want someone other than your Zidnarians to be the people from another universe? Let them be Nartenians and I'll play them. Nartenia is my NS nation. Very high tech.

But let's not take up space on this thread with all this stuff. If you want to do this, let's talk about it on your diplomacy thread.

Hey guys I'm back!

It was my birthday yesterday too... Can anyone update me on the world?

It's dead.

wait, let me guess, this RP is now defunct because of the alt history stuff by the mods...
