Very well, I will move my forces an additional 200 nm offshore. However I will remind you that the range is pretty much irrelevant as your island is in range of aircraft and missles from my island anyway and vice versa. As I explained before, I have no relations with your nation and no beef with you as of the present time. I merely wish to train in unfamiliar waters as any good commander would. Now if you will stop your posturing I'm going to get on with my war games and underwater basket weaving.

OOC: again of all the nations in the region you can see i don't react well to anything i perceive as a threat, so you chose to move several hundred aircraft and dozens of ships nearby. And yet you also chose to move your ships to the complete other side of LETI waters, while you could have chosen near your allies waters for safe exercises. This does not bode well.

*Special Samsylvannian Broadcast. The Imperial March is heard in the background. The dark figure stands at the podium overlooking a now empty city square.*

The Dark Figure: Citizens of Samsylvannia and LETI, it is time to unveil our top secret project. This is what your tax dollars have been going to, folks.

*The camera switches to an open field. Suddenly a huge pair of doors open in the ground and a large object begins rising from the ground. The camera switches to a drydock where a huge aircraft carrier sized ship is being launched.*

DF: To celebrate the humble beginings of our country and its economy, I give you the ICBCL!

*The camera switches back to the field. It is clear now that it is an enormous catapult. The screen splits to show an identical gigantic catapult on the deck of the ship. Suddenly they both fire in unison. The camera follows the launched objects as far as they can, then the camera switches to an empty ocean. Two shadows appear and grow larger on the water. With a splash that would put Dumbo doing a cannonball off of the Empire State Building to shame, two gargantuan blocks of cheese splash into the ocean.*

DF: Behold the power of cheese.

::HO Channel 2 News brings a pubblic announcement from Holy Emperor Elwood Zev Corran. Corran slowly walks out onto the balcony to the cheers of the crowd::

Corran: Well they removed 75% of their forces a long time ago, althought 25% remained even after the forces they vowed to protect left. Honestly I think they are a bunch of greedy, power-hungry, out-to-prove-themselves, egotistical, arrogant, war-mongers who claim they're trying to help out nations that untill recently were not even around anymore. I honestly do not see what they are trying to prove, and why they cna't leave LETI alone. Ahem. How about you there?

Reporter: Eric Camden, TWS-83. Would you call Sketch a "Sum-bitch"?

Corran: Not at a press conference of course. I hate to judge nations when I don't know everything about them. I must say though, that the nation frustrates me with their arrogant "holier-than-thou" attitude towards all nations. So I apologize if I come off sounding a little agitated. And... *sighs* Brokejaw?

Brokejaw: E D A N D L A U R A. WHAT'S GOING ON?

Corran: The same thing that's happening to your career Brokejaw. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! That is all. *The crowd cheers and Corran returns to the palace*

*Premier Connery*

we are only preparing to REPEL invaders. We only seek to protect what iours from other nations, even if it was a deforested barren wasteland, it is still OUR deforested Barren Wasteland, we may have moved our population but we NEVER renounced claim to the lands within this region. We do not want war, nor do we want 13+ divisions of another nations army within our region (that is about 800,000 men). So we will fight to force invaders from our nation.

So Clan if you're only preparing to REPEL invaders, then I have nothing to worry about because I'm not invading anyone. Unless of course what you said was a lie, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt about that. Know that I have no interest in a deforested barren wasteland unless they make good cheese there.

::: In the grand bedroom of the house of Napoli, His Holy Emperor paces back and forth nervously in front of the huge bedroom window that opens up to the palace balcony.

Suddenly, there is a knock at the door – Emperor Zart rushes to the door and quickly swings it open. :::

“YES?!?”

:: a servant (Johnny Cash), startled by the urgency in the voice of Mem Zart, nervously answers: “Uhh, Emperor, there appears to be a large armoire that just arrived in the mail for you…Should we search it and send it up to you, or do you want to wait until tomor…”

MZ: “…NO! Bring it up to me at once. I am expecting it.”
JC: “But sir, we have specific instructions to search everything. We wouldn’t be doing our duty…”
MZ: “DAMN IT GALEN…I mean, Johnny! Did you not hear the words that came out of my mouth?!? I said, don’t search it, bring it up to my room at once.”

:: Johnny turns to go down the hall ::

MZ: “Johnny? Did any of the Footcoc garrisons or officers see you?”
JC: “Not that I know of sir.”
MZ: “Good, keep it that way.”

--- five minutes later ---

:: Johnny quickly returns with the big portable armoire on a dolly ::

MZ: “Leave it there, and go.”
JC: “Yes sir.”

::MZ watches JC go down the long hallway outside of his bedroom, and eventually disappear. He then waits watching to make sure that no one else comes by. He then returns to his room and locks the door, followed by propping a chair up against the door handle. MZ then goes to the large window and pulls the curtain shut.:::

MZ: “Finally, the moment I have been waiting for.”

::MZ quickly rips open all the latches and slowly opens the door to the large green trunk. From inside the trunk, a figure appears.

:: from outside of the armoire, steps a dirty, unshaven, thin figure wearing tattered clothes.::

Un-identified figure: It’s been a long time old friend.

MZ (tears up): Yes, it’s been a very long time…nearly 40 days…or forty years, depending on what dumb@ss you talk to.

:::Both figures laugh, and then brake into silence as they gaze into each others eyes. Then in one swift unanimous motion, they embrace each other.:::

MZ: But Hurtz, it’s not safe for you to stay here.

HB: Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Is everything still going according to plan?

MZ: Everything is going according to plan. All I have to do is pick up the phone, and Operation Bobbitt will fall into place.

HB: Heh-heh-heh. Excellent.

::: MZ goes to the sound system, and turns on Gloria Gaynor’s ‘I Will Survive’

HB: Our song!

MZ: Of course. And after this, I will make the call. But until then, LET’S DANCE!!!

OOC: For one, Sammsylvania is the founder of this region, without him, no LETI, theoreticly, he has control over the region.

2. Sammsylvania has stayed neutral since the beginning of the region.. and if it wasn't for him, you wouldn't be back in this region.

Yes ed.. but you see as how suspison can be raised since hes suddenly become active.. and seems to be playing your games.

Samsylvannia resents the implication that we would play anyone's games but our own. We have shown our good faith by moving our forces farther away. Furthermore we will not take offense at certain LETI nations suggesting that we, the founders, should not have free reign of international waters. It is not we who are being agressive here. We only wish for peace in this great region. However, do not provoke us. As a sign of our good faith, we are sending a gift to both the Council of Clan and the Disgruntled Postal Men to alleviate tensions. Enjoy.

From the Desk of: Press Secretary Mathias Brock:
To: Nations of LETI and their allies throughout the world
RE: Current Hostilites in the LETI Region

I simply wish to reiterate Manarth's belief that all conflicts in this region can be resolved in a peaceful manner, as long as all sides are willing for that to happen.

As of this time, if hostilities ensue, Manarth will be a neutral nation. We invite any people fleeing opression or war to come to our shores. Also we offer a safe place to store any priceless artifacts or treasures that may be destroyed by arial bombardment.

We can only hope for a peaceful solution to the conflict obviously develping in this region.

Thank you, that is all.

From the Desk of: Nameless Lackey #5

The Nation of Samsylvannia appreciates Manarth's wish to resolve this crisis peacefully. Except there is no crisis. We think you just want our priceless artifacts and cheap immigrant labor! You're not getting your grubby little hands on our cheese, no sirreebob!!!!

Press Secretary Mathias Brock

*Emperor Ed is in his office, pacing around, sitting on the other side of his desk are all the commanding officers of Edenstein. Admiral Ulonov is sitting on the window sill watching the mob of people outside, most are holding signs that say "Get the hell out of CoC" and "Edenstein expansionisim = Nazism" The Admiral spies a sign that says "CoCk block the government!" There seems to be a general din of sound coming from the people when one person jumps up on a bench and starts to yell*

Loony: THE EMPEROR HAS GONE TO FAR THIS TIME! HE HAD OUR TROOPS GO INTO LANDS THAT WHERE VACANT! THEN THEY CAME BACK!!!!!

Crowd: Grumble Grumble

Loony: IF THEY WANT LAND!! WHY DON'T THEY JUST BUILD ON THE MOON OR SOMETHING!!!!!

*Crowd goes silent and looks at the loony, someone nails him with a head of lettuce and he falls off the bench, the crowd goes back to there din*

*Back inside the Office of the Emperor*

Admiral: It appears Emperor that the people aren't very supportive of our last move. Perhaps we should do what the people want.

Ed: Its a matter of principle, CoC left, never to come back, he even said he didn't want anything to do with us... so We expanded into the territory for our own defence. When they left, they gave up ownership of the land.

Admiral: I know, but they are giving us 20 Billion for all the improvements that we made on the land.

Ed: I know....... Its the principle, Hell we removed troops on our own accord.... When can we have our forces removed from the land, and pull them back to our border?

General Petrove: If we start pulling out right now... *Checks some documents* we could have most of our forces on the border by, Sunday night. Thats a lot of troops to move sir.

Ed: Make it so.... I hope that suits the bastard....His day will come. Step up air patrols along our border and station 4 Additional Divisions along the CoC Border, Also Call up Third Army... Lt. Zofia won't be pleased but desprate times call for desprate measures. I want the 3rd Mobilized and ready by Sunday. That is all.

*Everyone Salutes the Emperor and Leaves except for Ulonov who walks out onto the balcony to address the people, they open the door and walk out, there is no cheering from the people, but an audible grumble*

Ed: My people, we are pulling our troops out of CoC, and they will be out of the territory by Sunday night, Moving 200,000 troops is a massive undertaking. The troops will be taking up posistions along the border. I have also ordered up 4 More divisions to garrisons along the border, and have mobalized 3rd Army. That is all.

*Emperor Ed turns arounnd and heads back into the building, Ulonov follows close behind. The Mob of people that where gathered in the square disperse*

::Inside the Hence Palace, Corran is sitting on his throne talking to Luna, as Tempest enters the room::

Tempest: You Henceness, there's trouble brewing with the people!

Corran: Trouble? Now Tempest, when you say "trouble" you usually overexaggerate.

Tempest: Well its just that people are starting to grumble and complain about the attitude CoC and DPM are taking with our nation and its allies.

Corran: ::blinks eyes:: Is that it? Well for the record, technically CoC is still ok in our eyes, although jaded from abandoning us in the attack on VR. And as for DPM, they aren't even around anymore, so I could really care less.

Luna: Anyhow, its not like our nation is involved at all. Tempest are you sure you aren't exaggerating a bit? *Tempest hesitates* Well thank you for your concern, but I don't think we have anything to worry about.

Tempest: What about this? *Shows Corran a telegram. Corran gasps*

Corran: Wh, wh, where did you get that?

Tempest: It was found in with our other telegrams, but of course, send from an anonymous undisclosed location. What does it mean?

Corran: It means that we could have some serious Problems with a capital P and that rhymes with T and that stands for... *looks around the room. Luna shakes her head, and Tempest gets a quizzical look on his face* Trouble!

Luna: Like it or not, we're going to have to deal with Avalanche sometime...

::From his secret hideout::

Slotter: That's not a bad idea Larry. Can we convince them to hold it soon, and are you sure they'd be involved?

Larry: I don't know. But when Wallace was in charge he kept asking about it. I'm sure they'd be involved. As for getting it to be held soon, I think it could be pulled off if we pull the right strings. The people of HO are itching for it anyway.

Butch: But there'd be so many people around, how could we do it?

Larry: Easily. We only need one expendable man. Our sources say Tempestia has religious rebels that do that stuff. Look at their attempt on the battleship.

Slotter: That's what makes me wonder about this... but I'll look into it. You two just stay put where you are. I'll see about it. *Eyes twinkle with evil glee* This could be the catalyst we use!

*From inside the grayish bricks of the newly constructed temporary mangement building, a dark figure stands in the shadows on a cell phone and at a desk looking at some forms is the nations leader Aronar Onasi, the man next to him on his left is James M. Dubelco, his Minister of Propaganda and Public Speaker/Figurehead. Aronar mutters something to James and he goes to a roll top desk and turns on a radio transmitter, as this is the easiest form of relaying messages to the public of yet.*

"People of Dubelco, this is your wonderful leader here with some great news on latest developments. Our recent move to LETI has brought in better results population wise and we now grow to over eight million. The call to serve your country was met with a wonderful response from over 1 million people rushing to sign up. Remeber you can too, as serving in military pays quite well after your service is up. Our new recruits were shipped to our training camps all over Dubleco and will begin monday with their basic training. Our national guard has set up fortifications throughout the region near our towns and cities to better serve you. Remember, the better the country does, the better off you are. And now back to your regularly scheduled program."

James gets up and shut off the system. Aronar hands him some papers and James looks flustered by them. Aronar then makes a motion to the dark figure and he picks up a clipboard on the desk and leaves.*

*Admiral Ulonov comes out of Emperor Ed's office and speaks to the people waiting below, and to all of LETI*

AU: We wish to announce a gift to the nation of Dubelco, Edenstein knows, how hard it is for a deveolping nation to get started in a turbulent and violent world. Therefore we have donated the following to Dubelco so that they can begin to form a military,

70 Billion Dollars to the start of their military.
200 M1A2 MBT Tanks and 500 T-55 tanks,
100,000 AK-47 Rifles, and Advisors for their military,

We look forward to continued relations with their nation and formally welcome them to the LETI Region. That is all.

*Ulonov walks back into the office*

*Two ICBCLs rotate towards the two countries. Deep in identical underground buildings, two pairs of Lt. Colonels insert twin keys into their sockets and turn them. They give the order, and they fire in unison. Two large bullet shaped cylinders hurl towards Coc and DPM. As they cross the coastline and fall towards the capitals, the cylinders split open to reveal wicker cheese baskets and small parachutes open to slow their descent. They are wrapped with blue ribbons and decorated with Samsylvannian flags. They also contain some lovely summer sausage and homemade strawberry jam.*


*A PAC-3 Patriot Missile system tracks the missile as it falls toward the capital and three missiles intercept the cylinder over the countryside before it falls in the capital*

*OOC: I'm pretty sure the missles use magnetic fuses, which means that since cheese isn't metal, they wouldn't detonate. However, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on that one.*


*Deep within the underground battle center of the Samsylvannian Armed Forces, a nameless underling reports to General Murdock via videophone.*

NU: Sir, we have a problem.

GM: Very well, meet me on the bridge.

NU: Sir, we don't have a bridge.

GM: Wah?

NU: We have a tower.

GM: Damnit why don't you people tell me these things!

*The door that the video screen is mounted on opens and General Murdock walks out. They begin making their way to the tower.*

NU#2: Sir, this piece of equipment, it seems to have no purpose except for these red lights to move back and forth.

GM: Well keep working on it, we didn't spend millions of popcorn jellybellies on something whose only purpose is for the red lights to go back and forth. It must have some purpose!

NU#3: Sir these lights keep blinking out of sequence!

GM: Well get them to blink in sequence damnit!

*They arrive at the control station. And another nameless underling hands him a message.*

GM: So Clan doesn't like out cheese. This is an insult to everything Samsylvannia stands for. Well they'll get their cheese whether they like it or not. Time for Plan B...

OOC: they may use magnetic fuses, but i fired at the cylinder that encased the cheese, which is probably made of metal due to the stresses it is put under.

and think about, i've been nuked by ICBM's and all of a sudden a missile launched from your country heads for mine, for my capital, of course i'm going to intercept it. better safe than sorry. Sorry about the cheese.

* Dorrstein shakes his head in disbelief of the nation. *

* Zetta walks in *

Zetta: Holy Emperor, the navy would like to perform a wargame of "invading" our own land.

Dorrstein: Hmm, permission granted.

:::An unshaven Grandpa Ike had again wandered off from the Assited Living complex. He can be seen wandering around Milton Park. A foreigner seems to be extremely intrigued by Grandpa Ike. We can see Simshauser, Taylor, and Wesley nearby on a parkbench taking a lunch break:::

LS: You know, I think we should extend an invitation to Samsylvania allowing the use of our waters for military exercises along our Northern border. Oh, wait, that's theonly shore we have...... I want a portion of our basket weaving sector to produce baskets specifically for a gift of cheese for those practicing in our waters. And it better be top quality cheese. Where's an Amish population when you need it?

Wesley (mumbling as writing this all down): why cheese?!? BEEF! Why not Beef!!

LS: Wha, what's you say?!?

Chuck Tayor: Sir, he said Why not beef? After all, it's what's for dinner.

LS: Fine, fine. Get some beef for Samsylvania as well, should they come to use our waters.

CT: Is it just me, or is Tom Brokejaw getting really annoying?

Wesley: My sentiments exactly. Someone needs to get rid of him

LS: Well, he's definitely not allowed to come here if he needs to escape anywhere. It's one thing that we have Buffy and Empress Carolyn here. That's a different situation, they're at least not causing too many problems. :::LS's cell phone rings, Potsie is on the other end::: Why hello, Potsie, what can I do for you? What?!? Why aren't you making Rangers and VW Things?!? We need those for all the city street/water/electric/sanitation departments. GET THEM GOING! There is no excuse for the Automotive Industry here not to be producing. Hire more of our human resources. I want those fleets finished!!! :::hangs up and phone rings again. This time it is Empress Carolyn::: Empress, where are you?!? No, you aren't allowed to be at the Circus Maximus without an escort or your disguise. You know that as well as I do. No, I don't care how you feel about the wig, you better start to like it. Yes, I'm also very sorry again that Tori Amos isn't touring right now. Will it make you feel any better if we have Buffy to be with you whenever you are out? No, what about Lady Lietzenheimerschmidt? No?!? I'm tired of keeping her in prison. Ok, fine. Buffy will spend her time with Lady Cato. You are free to meet with them as you please, but for heaven's sake, wear your disguise and stay with your escort. Goodbye. :::click::: You know, Chuck, life has definitely been a little more interesting since Buffy, the Empress and Lady have all returned. Ok, I am going back to the office now. I suggest you two come with me.

:::Wesley looks inquisitively at the stranger follwoing Grandpa Ike. Chuck and Lowell follow suit:::

W: Is that guy Bashir?!?

CT: No.... I think it may be Brokejaw, but I don't know what either look like.

LS: No, you're both wrong. I think. Anyway, let's go.

:::the three head back to the office:::

*Deep in the underground command center...*

General Murdock: Nameless Underling #37, is the special delivery package ready?

NU#37: Sir, it's being loaded into ICBCL-A-2 as we speak.

GM: Excellent, the Radar Absorbing Microwave Safe casing is sure to get past their missle defense systems. I mean what did they think it was? You can't fit a goddamn nuclear warhead in a goddamn cheese bastket, you know. We'll teach them to look a gift horse in the mouth, by God!

NU#37: Yes, sir

GM: And this time, we're not wasting summer sausage or homemade strawberry jam on them!

Limburger is creamery, washed-rind cheese. The smooth, sticky, washed rind is reddish-brown with corrugated ridges. The yellow interior hints at sweetness but the taste is spicy and aromatic, almost meaty. Milk is pasteurized at a temperature of 161 degrees F, then cooled to 86 degrees F. The milk is then inoculated with cultures, then rennet is added for curdling. Curd is cut up, then heated to 95 degrees F. The cheese is formed in rectangular moulds, then it is salted and left to ripen in high-humidity conditions for two weeks. The temperature is lowered to 50 degrees F and the cheese matures for several months. Limburger has a legendary aroma which is due to enzymes, breaking down proteins on the surface of the cheese. The cheese ripens in 6 to 12 weeks and has a fat content that fluctuates between 20 and 50 per cent.

OOC: I guess you don't understand Millimeter Band Radar, as well as infrared sensors.


IC: Again the Patriot Missiles Fires first 4 miss but the fifth finds the target and intercepts the cheese cannister.

::From their secret hideouts, Slotter and Larry talk on the phone::

Slotter: What the HELL is going on there?

Larry: It's Cheese sir. Samsylvanian Cheese, second only to Wisconson.

Slotter: I KNOW what it is, but what the HELL is going on?

Larry: Um, I don't know sir! There are all sorts of strange things happening around here. But we're currently working on our NA plan! A reporter has agreed to ask about it in an upcoming press conference, it should get things flowing!

Slotter: That's fine... Anyway you can take advantage of any of this stuff?

Larry: Not unless we get a missle to land here... The food here is terrible...

::In Yggdrasil Square, Holy Emperor Corran walks out onto the balcony to address the people of Henceland Omega. Luna and Ritsuko are nowhere to be seen. Instead, Tempest and Citan follow him out.::

Corran: People of Henceland Omega! Recently there has been a stir throughout the land about various and sundry goings on within the region. I assure you that there are no current problems, and none are anticipated. However, in order to belay your fears, I am here to answer some questions. Elly you can go first. *The press grumbles about the fact that Elly always gets to go first*

Elly: *ignoring the grumbles* Thank you Your Henceness. There has been talk of the stagnant economy here in HO. What do you plan to do about it?

Corran: The economy? *leans down to Tempest and whispers* (Nobody ever told me this!) *aloud* Well its true that the Mello has not gone up or down significantly in the past month, our economy is strong and is not slipping. We are currently looking at ways to improve things to keep us going forward! *looks at Elly and smiles* How DO you do it Elly? *Elly begins to blush, but tries to hide it. Corran looks around and points into the crowd* You there.

Reporter #2: Johannes Organum out of Tempestia. What are your plans regarding CoC an Sketch?

Corran: Well, um. We are watching the situation very carefully. FYI our military is NOT, repeat NOT on special alert. We fully expect everything to work out pecefully.

Organum: What about Sketch's occupation throughout LETI?

Corran: Well to be frank, Sketch scares us. They have significant power, and I've found out, they are time travelers from the future sharing future tech with CoC and DPM. *The crowd gasps in horror* However, we are confident that 1.) CoC and DPM will not use such futuristic technologies... *Citan mumbles something like "They already have..."* and 2.) that Sketch will voluntarily leave our region when the time is right. Next question...

Reporter 3: Louie Hewis for News radio. Any news of the upcoming Air Show?

Corran: Yes. The Air Show is being tentatively scheduled to run a few weeks from now. We will pass on concrete info as it is available. And finally.... Mr. Brokejaw. If you say a DAMN thing about Ed and Laura, Tempest here is going to show you what we do to criminals here in HO...

Brokejaw: Umm.... well then. uh let's see here.... *The crowd mumbles with impatience* During your reign, have you ever thought about just starting a war?

Corran: *smirks, then grins, then erupts into side slpitting laughter. Falls onto the ground rolling, then picks himself back up* Ha ha! Oh Mr. Brokejaw! You crack me up! No more please! Ha ha! *Signals to Citan and Tempest return to the Palace*

(In the captial city of Eatsville, Press Secratary Mathias Brock and Prime Minister Carl Wainright are having an open cabnet discussion. Government sponsered media is brodcasting on the local version of CSPAN-2)

PS Brock: So that's why I think we should cut funding to the police force and increase spending in education and social programs.

PM Wainright: What do we have to do to get some cheese over here?

PS Brock: Excuse me sir? What does an increase in education spending have to do with cheese? Is this about the whole COC Samsylvannia thing?

PM Wainright: I hope you actualy asked for some when they established diplomatic relations.

PS Brock: Actually, no. But I did give them that new sportscar as a gift, you told me they'd like that. I sure would.

PM Wainright: I just wish we were important enough to warrent an intercontinental assault of cheese. Think of it! Then we'd really be in the mainstream, not just important because every fighting and bickering nation is taking it as a point of pride to build an embassy in our nation before their arch rivals can.

PS Brock: Come on now, just a few weeks ago no one in the region would give us the time of day. Anything more and we're asking for trouble.

PM Wainright: Gen Evans thinks we already are. He just won't shut up about boosting the military. To make my life worse, Dubelco had to go and get about a million vollenteers now, and he keeps telling me our 440,000 man force of conscripts is simply inferrior. And what am I supposed to do, draft more of my workforce? The Auto industry will scream bloody murder!

PS Brock: Well, we have the whole navy commissioning thing going on. If new toys to play with doesn't shut him up for a while, I don't know what will.

PM Wainright: Yah, so anyway, about that whole "more police" bill. What do you guys think? One at a time please!

*Lt. Kitzler, who is CO of Platoon 4, a platoon that is in the 4th Mechanized Infantry division that pulled out of Clan lands Saturday sits looking at a map, puzzled he calls over his seargent, Seargent Kerestes*

Kitzler: Steve, I think we've been going in the wrong direction, *Holds map and show it to Kerestes, it is obviusly upside down*

Kerestes: It appears so Sir, what are your orders?

Kit: Well, lets flip the map over, *looks again* Apparently we are right out side of a small town, we will walk in there and ask directions at a 7-11 or something like that.

Ker: You sure you want to do that? I mean, 25 Armed soldiers, wearing full battle garb, carrying rifles, HMG's, and other assorted weapons are just gonna walk in and ask for directions?

Kit: Sure, why not?

Ker: *He shrugs and walks off to inform the men*

Kit: Hmm so if we just follow this green line, which runs into this blue line, that should get us there, it seems like its only a few inches away.

*PFC Dubiel walks up to the Sarge, and salutes*

Dub: Sir, Can we go into that town over there and get something to eat? These MRE's get old real quick. I'll bring ya back some McDonalds or whatever they call it here....

Ker: Well, we are headed in that direction anyways, We are supposed to be covert but ehh.. we got orderd to pull out, but genious over there *Points to Kitzler who is trying to fold the map* was taking us in the wrong direction. I guess when we get into town we can call base camp and get a dust off... *Searches pockets for change, but finds none* Any of you grunts have any change*

*The other men search their pockets and all come up empty*
Dub: To bad that Mathews over there broke the radio trying to get the Penguins Scores...

Mathews: Ahhhh Shut up..... I had five Ruples on that game...

Ker: Ahh shut up, saddle up guys we are moving out.,

OOC: This time the cylindar, which is not metal anyway, was jettisonned 13 miles from your border...which is one mile longer than the range of a PAC-3. According to your post, they do indeed have magnetic fuses (see below),

[quote="Of the council of clan"]OOC: they may use magnetic fuses, but i fired at the cylinder that encased the cheese, which is probably made of metal due to the stresses it is put under.
[quote]

which would not be set off by a half ton block of cheese, even if one did manage to hit it. The odds of that, by the way, are extremely miniscule. Missles of any kind rarely hit their targets, they usually detonate near them, and the trajectories involved in this case would make a direct hit a virtual impossibility. Sorry, bud, you get the cheese this time. Behold the Power of Cheese.

OOC: you are assuming a lot, point one, according to the map that steve made, you are west of me. And Ed or Steve can verify this, my Capital city, the City of Kent is on the Eastern half of my country, so if you want to launch at my capital your missile has to travel across my ENTIRE country, yes i know that missile have proximity fuses, but your cheese missile has NO metalic parts in it at all? and radar does detect more than metal items, hell it detects weather patterns. so you have some options here, your cheese lands in a border area that is not inhabitated (most of the citizens have fled the western border due to the prescense of Edensteins forces) or you never launched it at all.

Not to mention i have Picket ships everywhere with AEGIS, Sea Sparrows and AM-1 Missiles.

oh yea i forgot to mention i'm not paying your bill for the damn cheese, i didn't order it.

* Fredrick IV walks in to the Eliptical Office *

Fredrick: Your majesty, foreign intellegence desires that we ally with Manarth.

Dorrstein: Well Fredrick, that sounds like a superb idea. * Pushes the intercom button * Zetta, I have some work for you to do....

OOC: *sigh* Ok. I will type very slowly so that you can understand. The casing jettisoned 13 miles from your border, coastline, not coastline, whatever, I never saw the map. That makes it irrelevant because the PAC-3, which by the way doesn't exist yet, has a range of 12 miles. According to you, it passes over a land border, rendering your ship launched missles useless. Your method of detection doesn't matter because no missle would detonate, and if it did hit it, it still wouldn't detonate, meaning that you would have a half ton of Limburger with a missle sticking in it. If by chance it would detonate, then you have a half ton of Limburger with a bunch of shrapnel. Give it up man. Accept your cheese.

P.S. Keep it up and I'll charge you for the first cheese too.

*4th platoon marches through the growth and then pops out onto the road, it looks like a civillized residential area, the platoon walks out into the street and walk down it, in two lines*

Pvt. Mathews: Obviously we are walking down the street ass.
Dub: Shut up, I'll put you on KP...
Math: Whatever, hey Leventhal, what do you make of this.
*Pvt. Leventhal looks at Mathews and snaps out of the daze and almost drops his HMG*
Leventhal: Well, I definatly think that this a misappropriation of resources. I should be back at base playing HALO or something.
Sgt. Kerestes: GET DOWN!!!!!
*instantly the whole platoon drops down and lies flat on the ground as an 81 pinto drives by, stops rolls down the window, and a 18 year old girl sticks her head out*
Girl: Hey do any of you know how out to get to brown street?
Ker: KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN! WE CAN'T LET THEM SEE US????
Girl: Right..... *She rolls up her window and speeds off*
Ker: Ok guys cost is clear, lets roll...
*The platoon stands up and makes there way down the street*

no it doesn't since my nation is not just on the main island, but it is an archepeligo (i have LOTS of islands)

So my ship launched Missiles are NOT rendered Useless, give it up and stop sending the damn cheese or i will take this as a hostile act ( a missile attack upon my nation)

and about the PAC-3 it doesn't exist in real life, but as you have discovered a lot in this game doesn't exist at the current moment in real life, modern tech is what is considered achieveable within the next 20 years.

it might not detonate the cheese, but the heat of the missile would definetely vaporize it.

deal with it, i'm not paying for any of the damn cheese.

IC: if Samsylvannia persists in launching missiles at my country, i will consider this a hostile act and retaliate as such

OOC: I DON'T WANT YOUR DAMN CHEESE SO DROP IT.

::Inside the Map Room at the Hence Palace::

Intelligence Worker Heather: This is most interesting. I wonder why CoC fears Samsylvanian ICBLs? I mean, for crying out loud. IT'S JUST FREAKING CHEESE!

Fifel Hoover: Well it's cheese this time. I'm sure they are afraid it may not be cheese next time, but explosives instead.

Heather: But if they'd just TAKE THEIR CHEESE, it'd be over. Actually, cheese sounds really good right about now...

OOC: Ok, lets assume for the moment that you've ingored everything I said in the last post. We'll pretend that the magnetic fuse on the missle would be activated by a hunk of cheese with a note on it (even though it wouldn't). According to the Law of Conservation of Mass-Energy, matter is only created or destroyed in a nuclear reaction. Since that is not what we have here, we can assume that no matter is lost in this situation. So if we apply heat to a 1,000 pound block of cheese, we get the following equation: 1,000 pounds of cheese + heat = 1,000 pounds of melted cheese. Got nachos?

OOC: or a 1,000 pounds worth of gaseous cheese vapor, that would dissapate in the wind. Rockets burn VERY HOT.

OOC: Well, the tail end burns very hot, which is not the end pointed at the cheese. Most missles also run out of fuel before they reach their targets, allowing inertia to carry it to the target. But thats not worth debating. Cheese does not exist at in the gaseous state. Now I supose you could evaporate the water out of it, but that would leave a large hunk of burnt dehydrated cheese. Don't know how heavy it would be, I don't know what percentage of the cheese is water right off the top of my head. So basically you have 3 choices. 1) A block of unharmed cheese sitting on your front steps. 2) A block of cheese with an unexploded missle in it. 3) A block of burnt cheese slamming onto your front steps with many smaller fragments landing nearby. *sigh* Just take the cheese. It's good cheese. And stop calling it a missle. By definition I suppose it is, but in common usage it would be more of a projectile than a missle. I prefer to call it cheese.

I'm pretty sure that it'll be quite harmless to let Samsylvannia have his fun CoC. Its only cheese, for now.

At this rate, I'd say you're only sounding petulant to the rest of the people in LETI. You can always post an intercept if he launches anything more lethal.

So tell me where i used future tech... Cause i havent fired one shot in this game at any of you.. and in my own nation purging terrorist cells i've used only AH-64's and M1A2's Both of which are at least a few years old IRL.

Re: Samsylvannian War Games

Effective immediately: All Samsylvannian Forces are returning to DOS territorial waters and surrounding international waters. The DOS Air Force will be stepping up F-15 and Su-37 BARCAP flights as will the naval aviators with the DOSN. We will keep 3 EC-135 AWACS in the air at all times and all carrier battle groups will keep E-2A Hawkeyes on patrol 24 hours a day. Picket missle destroyers will operate a maxiumum range from the manland as will our patrol ekranoplans. DOS is now at CHEESECON 3.

A Narrative Message from Carianada

Several days ago, before the whole cheese fiasco, Emperor Riker of Carianada was shot by a Samsylvanian assassin. His body was taken to the hospital wing of the Carianadan Imperial Palace, where he currently remains in a coma.

Jean-Luc Picard, Secretary of State, temporarily assumed command of the country, but was so confused by the state of affairs that he did not make any statements. This left Buffy Summers and "Cato" Lietzenheimerschmidt, formerly of Spinkoslovakia, free to storm the palace and take command. This happened late Monday night. Buffy reinstated the cabinet formerly in place during the reign of Empress Carolyn, and Empress Carolyn remains in a location known only to Lowell Simshauser. The alliance between Spinkoslovakia and Carianada, and also the fact that everyone ignores them, has made them the reigning power in Northeast LETI.

No one knows where Ford Explorer is right now. It is assumed also that Spike escaped when the palace was stormed. Bashir, though on a different side, is also at large...

Re: Assassination in Carianada

DOS sends its sympathy to the citizens of Carianada. The whole region of LETI will feel the loss. We would also like to emphatically deny any involvment in this tragedy. Again, please accept our sympathy.

OOC: Ok, it may be harmless cheese, but i will reiterate my points.

1.) Random Nation holds war games off of my shore
DPM and several others come to support me.

2.) Said Nation Launches MISSILES (payload is unknown till missile touches down) at my nation and one of my allies

3.) First Missile is intercepted and said nation fires ANOTHER missile and then explains that i am to receive the payload AND PAY FOR IT!

Reasons for intercepting/ attempting to intercept missiles from Said nation.

My nation has had 3 Nuclear weapons fall upon it in a sneak attack killing more than 4 million citizens in the past

My nation has also had a biological attack upon it that killed more than 100,000 citizens.


and all of a sudden a nation with no good relations with my country fires a missile carrying an unknown payload (violating my airspace at the same time) AT MY CAPITAL. So do i act on the side of caution? of course, prudence demands it.


oh and you were talking about transfer of energy sam, what about the kinetic energy of a missile traveling Mach 3+ ? what would that do to the cheese?

just cheese, did you not know that a high percentage of my people ARE lactose intolerent. I.E. the player controlling this nation is as well. Check my f*cking army records, i had to get a Waiver from a medical board to join up since it was a type of allergy.

Reporter Orlando Bloom: Thanks, Ariadne. We're going live to a feed from the Imperial Palace, where interim ruler Buffy Summers waits to make a statement to the region.

*Blond, beautiful Buffy Summers stands on the balcony of the Imperial Palace, flanked by the equally gorgeous "Cato" Lietzenheimerschmidt*
Buffy: Fellow Carianadans! I come before you to let you know that your support has not been in vain. The oppressive Emperor Riker has been overthrown, and your beloved Empress's regime is finally back in power!
*the crowd cheers*
No longer will we be oppressed by the Man! Our part of the Treaty of Linux has been reaffirmed, and our opposition to the UN is in full force! Except for Samsylvannia... we welcome their cheese, for they have done us the favor of a lifetime by assassinating Riker. Yet we will stand firm to our beliefs as Carianadan citizens!
*crowd cheers again*
And to prove that I am fully faithful to you, citizens, I bring you... Empress Carolyn!

*A large television screen comes down from the awning over the balcony. The crowd hushes as Empress Carolyn's image fills every pixel*

Carolyn: Thank you, Buffy. I would like to reiterate that my power holds firm once again. Though I am still far away from Carianada, I know that my citizens will pledge their loyalty to me, to Buffy, and to Cato. And for my first act as reigning Empress once more, I make this declaration... I am searching for The Grand High Skank, an evil force in this nation, which is why I have been gone for so long. She was in league with Riker and is very, very dangerous. All skanks must know that if they come even close to the Palace, they will be killed. That is all.

*The television screen goes up. The camera pans back to Buffy*

Cato: Did you know she was going to say that?
Buffy: No... Um, back to you, Orlando.

Reporter Orlando Bloom: Thanks, Buffy. And now, we return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

*Ford Explorer, in his hideout, mutters to himself as he watches TV*
Well, Buffy... he hasn't been assassinated, because he's not exactly dead...

"COC PULLS OUT!

The Council of Clan has recently evacuated the LETI region - including all of their people. Reports have confirmed that they have moved to AZN Pride. We have received telegram from Euphoni Government, that their military garrison’s will be evacuating Euphoni as well.

"I never liked those FOOTCOC's anyways...they are major [expletive]. They have sticks up their asses the size of...1000 lbs of cheese. Heh heh heh." says a euphoni resident of the south Napoli.

Back at the house of Napoli, His Holy Emperor Mem. Zart stated: "Whether or not our past has been rocky with tFoTCOC, they did start aiding our military recovery. It will be nice, however, to be able to relax, now knowing that we don't have COC up our...Uhh, reportedly, footcoc is scheduled to leave THEoE tomorrow (and that’s TOMORROW, not next year)."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MZ: "HURZ! Have you heard the news!?"
HB: "Yes my dear, of course I did! And now it is time to start taking over our country again. Have they really started to pull out, though?"
MZ: "Yes. All of the military is packing up, and heading off to AZN. Apparently Operation Bobbit, didn’t need to be activated at all anyways.”
HB: “I don’t trust those dirty-coc’s yet. You know they’re never up to any good.”
MZ: I know, but let me do the talking. It’s not time to introduce you to your country yet.
However, the propaganda illustrating your contributions to Euphoni have gone out. There is also a ceremony remembering your career coming up on Sunday, September 14th, 2003. Everyone is required to be present at this. Perhaps we will have you speak at that at the end. I can just see it now, we all are morning your absence, and from the back of the stage you appear. And the crowd erupts in cheer! It would be so beautiful!”
HB: My Memzy, always the dreamer.

CoC has never sent a telegram stating the removal of our garrison in Euphoni.

The brigade stays.

::Crowd of reporters applauds as Wainright takes to the podium::

Wainright: No one here is sadder than I to see the nation of COC leave this region. This administration has alwasy stressed on the international stage that all we wanted was peace and stability in this region, and now things have gone all to pot yet again.

The Upper Council voted today, unanimously, to ask that COC be let back into the region. We fear that, without civilians to protect or worry about killing, the COC military or other nations might try something rash. Already, Edenstein and Viert Riech, two of our regions biggest powers, are on high allert because of it.

Also, the Upper Council has voted that the COC embassy should be closed down at this time, in the interest of fairness. We will continue to communicate with them through the new embassy of Viert Riech.

But goodnews for everyone. The show must go on, and so will our carriers launch. Already several nations have sent their diplomats to view this, the greatest moment in our young nation. Any others who wish to be there, the festivities will take place tomorrow.

*A large shell fires from the gun and speeds towards the bases that have been targeted, and air bursts over them, from this point on all actions made by CoC and Sketch have been IGNORED*

Thats what I was talking about.

:shock: I can't believe this giant COC pull out has caused so much trouble. Sometimes I almost wish CoC had never pulled out so everybody could just be happy again. And all this just because CoC could cut the cheese. Well blow the cheese to tiny bits or vaporize it or whatever. :lol:

{Sorry I had to do it. I just could resist that first line there.}

WTF is an IGNORE CANNON?

The base at Junon instantly comes alive, and the massive cannon which has been built there, moves into posistion. On the side of the cannon, the sun catches the writing on the side, in massive block white letters is painted IGNORE. The fire co-ordinates are punched in and the countdown begins*

**Newly appointed Head Ma O'Riley talks to her secretary of war, General Scott, in the kitchen.**

Ma O'Riley: Hey John! Can you believe this bunch of pansies? Sending all those ships to Edenstein and just parking them there. If you're going to bluff you might as well do it in a way that doesn't cost so much money and waste so time.

G. Scott: I know miss! If it were me that got attacked I'd start launching everything I got.

Ma O'Riley: An Ignore Shell. Clever, creative, but no damage is done. Maybe if it rained down sulfar and whatever ignore matter is. I would definitely be interesting in getting me one of those. :lol:

L. Colon McDuggle: Head Ma, we just recieved a telegram from The United States of Josier. They have invited us to join the Alkatraz region.

Ma O'Riley: Thank you Colon. It sounds tempting...Let's see how the things are here first. Then if we find we don't fit in, we can move.

G. Scott: I like it here. I hope it doesn't come to that. Let's send out messengers to Alkatraz to test the waters.

Ma O'Riley: Colon, get on that immediately!

“We interrupt the new season of 7th Heaven to bring you an update on the COC Pull out”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Sammy Sayso, with your Euphoni News. COC is out completely now. He has said that he will never come back, and that we don’t owe him any money, at all. That is all.”

*Premeir Connery of the Federation of the Council of Clan*

Our troops HAVE NOT LEFT EUPHONI. The mission has not ended and Euphoni STILL OWES US 1.5 TRILLION dollars in reparations.

If Euphoni continues to make false claims about statements, there will be DIRE consequences. We have held off on the debt collecting till a later date, and i must say that day may have come. Emperor Zart i remind you that you are still in power because in the interests of good will we have let you stay there. So there are no misunderstandings, the forces were placed there to TRAIN Euphonian troops to defend themselves better. AT NO COST TO EUPHONI.

To remind Euphoni who won and lost the war, i have ordered that the ships that we seized from Euphoni to be placed off of the Coast of Euphoni, and SCUTTLED.

Check out this ...

We interrupt your hourly broadcast of 7th Heaven, to bring you an update, on the COC Pull Out, from His Holy Emperor Mem Zart, at the House of Napoli.

“Good afternoon kind citizens of Euphoni. It is with great pleasure that I inform you that COC’s troops have totally left the region, and EUPHONI. We also assume, because we have not heard anything from COC, that we do not owe them the 1.5 Trillion dollars they demanded. We assume there will be no dire consequences. Since we have this overflow of money in COC (the 1.5 Trillion dollars that we still have), it has been suggested that we erect a statue in memoriam of Hurz Brunner and myself. And so it has been done. We have begun to build this colossal monument made of solid titanium, platinum and gold…covered in blue diamonds…encrusted with emeralds…and rubies…and one of those fountain things…that sprays water to music…and an observation deck to look out over the city of Napoli…The inner skeleton to support the weight of the statue is made of stainless steel wrapped in PURE CARBON FIBER. Any country who wishes to add to the festivities of the COLLOSAL MONUMENT, may do so in monetary form.

The waters around the coast of Euphoni are completely safe to enjoy and I suggest that the community of Euphoni go into the waters and enjoy themselves. In fact, we will make the second week of September “National PULL OUT Week”. All businesses will be closed, and the end of the week will consist of a mandatory festival in the town of Napoli for everyone.

Thank you all for your time. Soon we can turn back to anti-bellum Euphoni! After we have erected the COLLOSAL MONUMENT, and have had our week of fun.

Thank, that is all.

OOC: i see who speaks for who in the region, Edenstein has ignored only the forces stationed in the former CoC territory that Viert Reich holds.

No one else has posted anything on ignoring me, if you are going to at least have the decensy and maturity to post it.

and no one has given reason for ignoring me. I have not godmodded, i simply have been a pain, and a disruption of your plans. Ignoring me for that is poor roleplaying.

[OOC]

Now, now, children, lets play nice.

Reparations are reparations, however if you choose not to pay, there is no need to rub it in as such.

The expansion of the massive power plants have left portions of the Die Elite Reich to rent out some of the land. CoC has two naval, an army post, and three airbases in southern portion, in exchange for a air base and naval base in the region of AZN Pride.

IC: Premier Connery Addresses LETI and Euphoni

"It appears that Euphoni has chosen to default on its reparations payments. This shows that they have broken the peace treaty that ended our last conflict and that they can bite their thumbs in the face of our federation. Ignore this warning they may, but this agreement was set forth in the treaty of Paulsberg and both Edenstein and Henceland Omega are treaty bound to let me attempt to collect on it. If Euphoni persists in ignoring this obligation and not sending CoC 1/3rd of what is owed(within the next 72 RL hours), CoC will move in to the ports (both sea and air) of Euphoni and take over Customs and impose duties on anything and everything that comes in and out of the country until the debt is payed. This is not a military occupation but merely a matter of business. "

OOC: Ed, Steve, this was agreed upon in the past. I let travis go for awhile without paying me, as long as he understood that he still has to pay me in the future. Well it seems the time has come. This has happened in history before as well (Germany, Britain, and USA have done it in the past)
I do not want a fight, just the money that is owed to me.

my region is kooler than ur region

but seriously tho, tropical islands are kool

hell my nation is nothing but islands, so yea.

Acting Empress Buffy Summers of Carianada, Lady "Cato" Lietzenheimerschmidt, and Lowell Simshauser of Spinkoslovakia have recently formed the Upper LETI Alliance. This alliance is now effective immediately, sanctioned under the Treaty of Reomatopia. This does not negate the Treaty of Linux or the Septumvirate, but is rather a subtreaty and protects the nations of Spinkoslovakia, Me262, and Carianada.

The Upper LETI Alliance also wishes to provide support to the nation of Euphoni. We wire 2 million dollars to be used for the building of the colossal monument, and we pledge any other support that might be needed.

Empress Carolyn could not be reached for comment.

Analysis of recent weather satellite scans of the region have detected a problem in your area. We are seeing signs of a hidden fault line along the Edenstein/Disputed Former Territories of CoC border. We recommend dispatching a scientific expedition to investigate. We would be happy to assist in any way.

*Bob, a sixteen-year-old Carianadan boy, is on a train, making his way back across LETI with his friend Joe of Samsylvannia. They traveled to Henceland Omega to hone their DDR skills.*

Bob: So you failed Drop the Bomb... again.
Joe: Do you have to keep reminding me of that? You've only said it, I don't know, TWO THOUSAND TIMES!
Bob: Heheheh. Well, I did pass it, after all, and you didn't.
Joe: Go suck it, Bob.
Bob: Gladly.

*Suddenly, a blond woman comes into the train compartment. Any beauty she might have had is completely erased by her sheer skankiness. She is wearing a skimpy tank top with a visible bra underneath, and her cleavage is so deep she might as well be only wearing the bra. Her leather skirt ends at midthigh but still has two slits in it. She is wearing stiletto heels and has about a pound of makeup on.*

Blond Woman: Hey.

*Bob says nothing. He is too busy drooling. She comes over to Bob, takes him by the hand and brings him slowly to his feet.*

Blond Woman: You know, I've never had a man reject me. Never.

*She licks her lips. Bob is still drooling. He follows her out of the train compartment. Joe sits there, just as much under her spell as Bob was. Then a group of policemen burst into the compartment. The head policeman grabs Joe*

Policeman: Did you see that woman come in here?
Joe: *dazed* Uh-huh.
Policeman: Sh*t. That was the Grand High Skank! Come on, boys!

*They follow her trail. Joe sits there, looking very confused*

Evans is not looking out for your interests, he's just trying to seize power by any means necessary. Rise up against him, all of you used to be in the military, you know how to fight.

Tom: Talent indeed Diane! And now today's top story! Chaos in the country!

Diane: That's right Tom. It seems that the recent assassination of Manarth's Carl Wainwright has been the catalyst that has caused the nation to start going crazy! The combination of events such as the Top Administrators--including His Henceness--being out of the nation, the firing of Edenstein's cannon at Junon Harbor, the remaining Sketch garrisons, and the total and complete pull out of CoC forces have caused Hencemen everywhere to become paranoid and confused. Justice Advisor Tempest Freemont and Chief of Secret Police Kiyone Muyo have assured us that there is nothing to worry about and that the administrators will return soon. However, travel out of Manarth is being blocked at the current time leaving Holy Emperor Corran and Admiral Hyuga stranded there. Also there has been no word of communication with Advisors Yamamoto and Althena.

Tom: Well Diane, it seems like the nation, and the whole region is going to pot!

Diane: Well Tom, since you put it that way... ::Diane reaches under the counter and pulls out a huge bong and takes a puff:: Would you like a hit?

Val Liash: (*in a whisper*) Diane! That's illegal and we're still on the air!

*Inside military headquarters, Aronar Onasi is seen punching up various screens on his control console. Notices and reports are on the agenda:

From: Training Camp A-3

All troops proceeding well. We are ahead of schedule and have already moved on to advanced combat techniques, these people just seem to love to kill.
End Transnmission

From: Training Camp C-4

Basic training seems to be going smoothly. We are on schedule and they should be ready to be deployed by the end of next week. The new weapons from Edenstein are helping greatly.
End Transmission

From: Training Camp F-1

All troops will be ready by the end of next week sir, with the arrival of the Edenstein Tanks we were able to speed up the text course and started weapons training ahead of schedule, the 3 week course WILL be done by the end of next week.
End Transmission

Aronar turns in his chair and is handed a clipboard with some files attached.

Aronar: Thank you. Go and tell McDaniel to send Emperor Ed a thank you card for the supplies. See that when or if he vacations here, he gets 30% off umm...everything.

Lieutenant: Yes sir!

Aronar turns back to the console and flips thru some files. Then hands them to an unknown figure across the table. He looks thru them, nods, and leaves.

Aronar then turns to James and motions to him. James goes to the console marked "Informer" and James is broadcast on all news stations and basic channels thoughout Dubelco.

James: People of Dubelco. We would like to take this oppurtunity to thank Emperor Ed and all of Edenstein for what they have done for us, it will not be forgotten. With basic training going well for our army we would like to take this oppurtunity to address the issues with CoC and Edenstein. Although we have at this time no quarrels with CoC, we will help Edenstein in any way they need it if they ask, we are not one to forget our friends. Until then we shall stay neutral, and will still concentrate on organiztion and training. The amount of money Edenstein has sent has greatly helped the budget and will, for a time, lower the tax rate. This we hope will increase job efficiency and help the economy. The national guard has done much to help step up our defense's until the army has been properly trained, all goes well. Remember, tomorow is friday, and thats 15% off at Chipotle Day. Thank you and have a good day.

The transmission ends and James gives Aronar the high sign. Aronar goes back to his work as James meets a few rather important looking people at the door as he exits.*

OOC: Now we have a slight problem so we'll take a vote of the involved countries to decide what to do. We can't have some people ignoring Clan and other people playing along and other people sinking the former lands with an earthquake, it kinda messes with the RPing. Therefore we will take a vote and agree to follow whichever course you guys pick. Here are the choices:

1.) The IGNORE Cannon Option: You can't sell your lands. Coc took them all with him when he left and therefore all actions on his part in this region are now null and void. All debts and actions are cancelled and as far as we're concerned, he does not exist any longer because he left for OOC reasons.

2.) The Seismic Anomaly Option: A massive earthquake sinks the entire former lands of Coc. In effect the same as Number 1, but with a satisfying crunch. We would however then continue to acknowlege his existence if he chose to play along.

3.) The Cheese Option: The We allow the garrisons and the land leasing and such to go on. After all where would we be without an arch nemesis? Of course, this would mean he must accept the cheese and stop getting OOC logic and IC logic confused.

Please telegram me your votes. I, not being impartial, will not vote. This is so we can all be on the same page and so Carianada and Spinkoslovakia will stop being ignored. We are all voting on it so that CoC will not be able to single anyone out to blame his misfortunes on and will not be able to continue to RP with some nations but not others. I believe this will save a lot of grief in the end. All of this over some cheese...

We now bring you updates on the non-projectile weaponry research here in Hairybackistan.....

Captain Stewy: Good evening. New breakthroughs in our research have spawned new weaponry which will soon be available for purchase to ally nations. Initially, our research found that our early plasma weaponry was innefecient. The weapon itself was phenominally powerful, however, if used more than a few times within a short span of time, the entire device would overheat and explode. To solve this problem, we developed a pulsating release system for the heated plasma energy. The energy blasts themeselves are significantly less powerful, yet more frequent, almost at the rate of a normal machine gun, however, each "bullet", as we call the pulses of energy, packs a significantly higher punch than a real bullet. Tests have shown that a single pulse can penetrate most types of armor. This is very exiting news, and soon, we hope, this technology will be available for purchase to ally nations. The unit itself is about the size of a small car, but we are planning on creating a mobile version with wheels and a place for a driver and one passenger. All in all, the total unit with mobility will be about the size of a family minivan. Cost estimates at this point are ranging somehwere between 10 and 20 million, but these are rough estimates. If any ally nation is interested, please send us a telegram for more information. Thank you.

Figure: Well everyone is away from Henceland and from here... I thought I would just come and check on the "Outsourcing"
Ed: Ahhhh.... I see.... *He starts laughing and the figure closes the door*

OOC:

My thoughts on the whole thing: I would *like* to continue acknowledging CoC's existence. It doesn't make sense to not acknowledge him and continue to acknowledge others. He is a fairly good RPer and comes up with interesting stuff. However, he has also ignored us on many occasions (me and Sandy) as well as claimed things didn't happen WHEN THEY DID. Every person in this game has the right to post a happening. That's how this game works--in real life, you can't control what's going to happen with other people, and thus it is in NationStates. I understand that sometimes things are godmoding and people have the right to contest things. But to contest every little thing that happens and then to simply ignore other things is plainly immature and not fair to everyone involved. So if he's not going to play our game, then I don't want to play his either.

One O. H. P. Class Frigate has been rearmed and refitted in Port Hrabe. It is currently loitering off the coast. Marines in the port have begun recieving shipments of weapons and munitions, although it is not clear from where.

Army troops are currently moving into position sorrounding the port. They consist of 15000 combat troops, a similar number of support troops and several T-72 tanks, and a few outdated artillery pieces.

Statement from the Government in Exile of the People's Republic of Manarth: Press Secretary Mathias Brock:

My countrymen, I am angered by the recent events taking place in the so called Protectorate of Manarth. Gen Stan Evans does not have your interests in mind, but his own.

I applaud the Marines for holding Port Hrabe, and I beg you, don't loose heart. Your cause is just, and you will prevail. Already you will have recieved supplies to fight those loyal to the false government. More is on the way.

I also have important news. The assassin that killed our beloved Prime Minister was none other than an Army special forces sniper. It is clear now who was behind this assassination, the self styled Lord Protector of Manarth. I ask now that all citizens of Manarth resist him with whatever means you can. Join the militia that is currently retaking the countryside, stop paying your taxes, stop producing munitions for the military.

Together, we will free Manarth from the jaws of tyranny and opression. We will cast down the murderers, the assassins. And we will show the world just who the real trators are.

May the Prophet bless the People's Republic of Manarth, now and until the end of time!

Though we have not officially taken sides in the Manarthian Conflict, A group of pilots of ours have volunteered to fight under the Manarthian flag. And due to an accounting error instead of using AV-8B Harrier II's they instead have been Issued F-35 (marine VTOL Versions)(this is much like the Flying tigers of WWII). These aircrafts and pilots are no longer members of the Council of Clan Military. The Manarthian government in exile has worked out a payment plan for these aircraft. Along with the pilots the entire support structure needed for them have volunteered for the Manarthian government in Exile's Cause.


OOC: hey sam, next time you say something about the PAC-3 Patriot (which has been used in the latest Iraqui conflict) read up on it. http://www.acq.osd.mil/bmdo/bmdolink/html/pac3.html

my favorite quote was "The PAC-3 missile uses kinetic energy to destroy targets rather than employing a high explosive warhead "

OOC: the way the land deal went was i was talking on AIM with Sam, arguing about the cheese, and then he threatened that if i didn't give him a good reason for him not to boot me in the next 20 seconds, he was going to banish me (I.E. he wanted me to grovel) so instead, i sold my lands to dustin,(Viert Reich) all except the City of Kent and then packed up and moved out of the region. taking all of my lands with me. (which only consisted of the City of Kent). so there is a million Square mile chunk missing from one of the islands i used to control. I may have done this for OOC reasons(basically i want to remove any power that Sam has over me) but moving a nation is always done for OOC reasons by the way the game is set up. oh and the lands that i have leased is not really much different than the US holding the phillipines, Hawaii, Guam and other pacific islands for military reasons.

OOC: Spinkoslovakia, we only used wire transfers for the reparations, so that transfer would have had to come out of a bank, which your nation holds an account in, and sent to a bank that i hold an account in. Which i promptly wired to a bank that Sketch holds an account in. So if you used a massive amount of counterfit money, you screwed the bank that you used and they would probably collect that from your government in collateral. so this counterfit affair is between you and your bank, not you and I.

OOC: Edenstein, just some contstructive criticism but you have a whole division commanded by a Captain (which is O-3 in the US Army) and unless your division is drasticaly smaller than one in the US Army, thats kind of weird since a division in the US Army is commanded by a Major General(Two star or in paygrade O-8). you might want to clarify that somehow.

OOC:Tempestia, before any of you bring up on the attack on my battleship by the terrorists, i offered to redo the RP to make it make more sense, and Steve can attest that i do cooperate when i'm given warning.

OOC: to all of you, you shouldn't ignore me because i'm being a pain in the ass, thats kind of a weak reason. You can ignore me if you feel i have been godmodding which i have not.

OOC: the reason Sketch is still in the region is the way the last war ended, i only got a third of the reparations i demanded, i got NONE of the war criminals and i felt once his overwhelming prescense was gone, some if not ALL of you would be bitter and start up on my again. The IC reason is that not all of the reparations have been payed and CoC was distrustful of the whole region and felt hostilities would recommence once his forces were gone. and OOC, watching what has been happening in the region, i was not far gone.

OOC: about me not dealing with Crippleslovenia I only have the forces to collect from nations one at a time, so he'll get his turn eventually. And Spinkoslovakia, except for the war criminals, i have already delt with them.

Edit: the O- 8) is really O-8, my bad there.

SC2: We should telegram the government.

*Secretary of Finance Alphonse Goulardi appears on the TV behind his desk at the federal trade commission*

This land will prove invaluable to our nation, as a place to build cities and increase our defense capabilities. For the moment, the sum of the transaction is being with-held. That is all*

OOC: Few things.
1) My mistake, I was apparently viewing outdated information. I guess there would just be a 1000 pound block of cheese with a missle sticking out of it. And I only treatened to ban you after you declared that you were going to be ignoring me. I don't think launching a block of cheese constitutes godmodding, since in theory it's quite possible, but whatever.
2) I never had any power over you. I don't ban without a consensus. If I did, you would have been gone a long time ago. Any other "power" exists only in the written word of the forum, which is meaningless.
3) Ed can set up his chain of command however he wants. If he says so he can have the rank of Captain higher than 5 Star General and have give his CnC the title of El Poopsmith. *french accent* Mind your own business!

Manarth if it comes to that we'll be cool with your RPing, its far more interesting than cheese.
5) If you're going to block me on AIM, thats cool, but please don't temporarily unblock me merely to inform me of your new literary masterpieces in the forum.

umm i didn't block you on Aim, i just jumped online long enough to say what i said then got offline.(i'm using someone elses comp)

launching the block of cheese the distance you launched might be godmodding though.

and i was just adding constructive critiscm on the rank thing. I threatened to ignore your cheese since you would not admit it could be shot down, and the missile would have obliterated the cheese on impact, its designed to knock ICBM's down, which are far larger and more massive than a 1,000lbs of cheese.

The power i refered to was the threat of banishment. Like it or not that is a type of power, and you no longer can do that to me. And my next question, what is required to have a quorum for the vote. there are over 40 nations within the region, and so far only six have voted.

Tempest: Uh.... Come to think of it I haven't seen her since the other day... Why don't they ask Ritsuko?

Bart: She's still on leave. So nobody knows where Laura is?

IC: Premier Connery Addresses LETI and Euphoni

"It appears that Euphoni has chosen to default on its reparations payments. This shows that they have broken the peace treaty that ended our last conflict and that they can bite their thumbs in the face of our federation. Ignore this warning they may, but this agreement was set forth in the treaty of Paulsberg and both Edenstein and Henceland Omega are treaty bound to let me attempt to collect on it. If Euphoni persists in ignoring this obligation and not sending CoC 1/3rd of what is owed(within the next 72 RL hours), CoC will move in to the ports (both sea and air) of Euphoni and take over Customs and impose duties on anything and everything that comes in and out of the country until the debt is payed. This is not a military occupation but merely a matter of business. "





OOC: Ed, Steve, this was agreed upon in the past. I let travis go for awhile without paying me, as long as he understood that he still has to pay me in the future. Well it seems the time has come. This has happened in history before as well (Germany, Britain, and USA have done it in the past)
I do not want a fight, just the money that is owed to me.

IC:

*Defense minister Wallace in the Premier's office*
Wallace: Premier it has been almost 24 hours since the deadline and have heard nothing from Euphoni.
Connery: Hmmm, it appears that we will have to follow through with our threats.
Wallace: it appears so.


*1 hour later Connery addresses Euphoni*
Citizens of Euphoni, your government has ignored warnings by this nation that one payment of the reparations are due. It has been 22 hours since i made the Ultimatum. So our forces will be moving towards Euphoni to take over customs for your country, like i said, all commerce and travel in and out of the country will be taxed until we have collected the FULL amount of reparations. If you resist, if one shot is fired at our forces, one bomb explodes, or any of our soldiers and customs agents are injured or killed the situation will change. And for the worse for your country, if that happens we will fully occupy your country and consider hostilities between our two nations from the last war to recommence, and we will win. And during that occupation we will annex most of your land, take whatever resources we want, dissolve your government and generally grind your national identity into the dust. and the land we do not annex will be considered a protectorate of The Federation and will not be allowed to make any treaties, trade deals, or any alliances without our express approval. We do not want to take this course of action, but we will if we have to.

*as the premier speaks, a single F-117 carrying a small 200lb LGB flies into Euphoni's Capital and drops it onto the statue of Mem Zart and Hurz Brunner.*


To all other nations of the Lake Erie Tropical Islands, i caution you not to interfere, i do not want war and bloodshed but i do want the Reparations and Hurz Brunner.

* In the Elliptical Office *
Reporter 1: Are we going to do anything about this agression on CoC?

Dorrstein: No

Reporter 2: Are we going to help either side??

Dorrstein: NO ... Fredrick, execute these reporters.

*Defense Minister Wallace speaking to Premier Connery*

Wallace: Premier, we still don't have a governor for the LETI territory.

Connery: Who has the most expierence dealing with that region

Wallace: My brother, the former premier, sir.

Connery: Very well, I'll appoint him the governor of that territory

Wallace: I shall inform him immediately
*Connery nods*

::Lord Protector Stan Evans is discussing recent developements with his advisors::

Evans: Who the hell is this Wallace guy? What can we expect from him?

Lt. Gen Lincoln: I'm not sure. From what I remember from history class he's the former premier. Beat the septumvirate in the last war or something like that.

Lt. Gen Franklin: For cryin out loud. You call your self a General? He's one of the best military minds of all time. Destroyed them in a 7-1 battle. Even took some NBC hits on his infrastructure. Frickin genious, that's what he is. Don't like this news one little bit.

Lincoln: He had help. Without Sketch, he'd have gone down. And it was a 7-2 battle from what I remember.

Evans: Enough you two. What are we going to do about it? Just sit back and do nothing?

Franklin: Actually sir. Yes. Hear me out please. We are allied with Edenstein now, yes. But we have too many problems here. First things first, destroy the trators in our own midst, build a navy, then worry about foregn politics.

Lincoln: I hate to say it, but for once I agree with the Lt. Gen. Sit this one out. We have our own fish to fry.

Evans: But what if we declaired war on them and didn't actually do anything? Wouldn't that show Edenstein our support?

Franklin: Actually sir, it's Euphoni their bothering now. Edenstein hasn't done anything about that yet.

Lincoln: Can we get him on our side?

Franklin: That's actually a good idea. Sir, Lincoln had a good idea!

Evans: I'll see what I can do. Ok, now back to Port Hrabe, how the hell are we supposed to get those tanks in there?

::They continue discussing strategies::

His Holy Emperor Mem Zart, and returning Secretary of War Hurz Brunner now interrupt your hourly scheduled program of 7th Heaven, to address the people of LETI and specifically FOOT COC.

MZ: "We would like to send out our thanks to the many nations who have donated money towards the COLOSSAL MONUMENT. But, especially, we would like to thank the nation and government of FOOT COC, our new and close friends. I'm going to let recently re-instated Secretary of War, Hurz Brunner explain."

:::MZ pinches HB's thigh under table:::

HB: "Yes, thank you Memzy. We are most pleased with the effort in building the COLOSSAL MONUMENT from FOOT COC. You see, ten minutes ago, FOOT COC flew a F-117 and a 200 lb LGB over the city of Napoli and dropped the bomb leveling the area exactly where we are planning on erecting the COLOSSAL MONUMENT. How did they know? They just did. You see, the alliance and rapport we have built since the FOOT COC pulled out, peacefully and without any dire consequences, is strong one that will not soon be forgotten. They wanted to help our erection, by leveling the EXACT area where we plan to erect our COLOSSAL MONUMENT.

Let it be known, that in addition to the 1.5 TRILLION dollars they let us keep --- to build the COLOSSAL MONUMENT -- they have also just saved us about 10 million in demolition fee's.

::: HB looks directly into camera ::

HB: And to you, Premier Connery, thank you so VERY VERY much. If you ever want to come over and look at the stars over the observation deck, on the COLOSSAL MONUMENT (with that little fountain thingy that sprays water to music...with diamond, and rubies, and emeralds...and well...you get the picture), I will let you in for half price, my friend!

::: HB winks at camera :::

HB: In conclusion, we will NOW begin construction of the COLOSSAL MONUMENT. Thank you, that is all. And now back to a touching moment of 7th Heaven... MAN! I love that show!!!!

OOC: when i thought it wasn't possible, Euphoni has proved me wrong, they have outdone themselves once again.

*Fleet Commander Bach Stradavarius and Vice Admiral Besson Sovereign on the bridge of the battleship D.S.S. Buffet, the flagship and pride of the D.O.S.N. It is still en route with the 32nd Naval Task Force from CoC to Spinkoslovakian waters, coincidentally placing the 32nd directly in between the former territories of CoC and Euphoni.*

BS: Damned decent of those CoCs to help out Euphoni with the building of the Colossal Monument.

BS (OOC: crap didn't think of that when I named them, uh, we'll call him AS): That it was, you know, this has gotten me thinking...Since it's on our way, why don't we swing over that way and see if we can lend a hand.

BS: Yes, we could certainly donate some spare bilge pumps for the fountain.

AS: Excellent idea, sir.

BS: Course it's a good idea!

AS: Ensign Crusher, inform the fleet and set course for Euphoni coastal waters. Send a message to Hurz Brenner as well, tell him we have cheese.

EC: Aye, sir.

*The 32nd Naval Task Force alters course east towards Euphoni*

*In the command center deep within Dubelco, James is about to give another speech to his public:

James: "Hello and good evening all citizens. I hope everyone is well and enjoying themselves, everything has been done to help make your lives easier. Our military continues to make progress, as more and more people sign up for the military branches more and more flock to our nation as our population is rising, either that or we had a power outage nine months ago. I'm happy to say that to help with early training for all those who are someday hopefull of joining the military, people can purchase any of the three "Time Crisis(TM)" arcade games for private/public use as they are polled as being very popular, and I like them too. For a mere one hundred chipotle's you can receive any of these fine games, or save and get all 3 for a mere (C)249.99, now thats an offer you can't refuse! I hope you all take adavantage of this as our operators are standing by, the number will be on all news programs, all papers, and our website will have payment options as well. Thank you and have a good night and pleasant tomorow."

James turns off the console and the TV's return to their regularly scheduled programming.*

OOC: LOL

OOC: when i thought it wasn't possible, Euphoni has proved me wrong, they have outdone themselves once again.

::Tempest and Kiyone watch the news with fervent interest, hoping to hear word of developments in Manarth or CoC::

Tempest: What? What's up with that monument thing?

Kiyone: I really haven't the foggiest. That seems like the strangest thing. I knew THEoE was planning on starting it a little later, but I don't see what CoC was doing. I somehow doubt it was a showy way of helping out. But I must say, Brunner sure is trying to keep the peace!

Tempest: For once... Although I've no doubt he's getting tremendous pleasure over this whole thing... In any case, I sure hope Corran, Sugurd, and the girls get back soon.

Kiyone: Speaking of the girls, we still haven't seen Laura lately have we?

Tempest: No...

::The Manarthian national anthem plays as Lord Protector Evans walks out to address the assembled croud. The croud is nervious as they start to cheer, none of them look like they actually want to be there. A sizable force of military prevent them from leaving::

Evans: Hello! Today I want to inform everyone that our airforce is back online.

::Cheers from the croud::

They have begun flying bombing raids on the trator's stronghold of Port Hrabe. The first run should be compleated in a few minutes.

Our 7th Cavalry Regiment, lead by Col. G. A. Custer is leading the ground attack on their fortified positions. We should be in control of the city by noon tomorrow.

::Cheers from the croud::

Now is the moment of our victory! Onward goes the 5th division! Onward goes the 7th Cavalry! Onward to victory!

::His speach ends::

::2 hours later in his office. Lt. Gen Lincoln runs in::

Lincoln: Sir! Preliminary reports of the battle.

Evans: Lets see here...

As the fighters of the 1st Manarth Air wing fly towards Port Hrabe, 6 F/A 22's scramble to meet them. The 22's manage to down 8 and damage 2 before being shot down themselves. 5 down, 1 limping to base. At base 6 others scramble to the air for intercept. By the time they arrive, the F-16's have already dropped their first load of bombs at the marine's foward positions.

The engagement that follows is quick and brutal. 14 F-16's are shot down, and the rest are forced to flee back to base. 1 F/A 22 is damaged by close quarters gunfire, and crashes behind marine lines. The pilot manages to eject.

Marines suffer light casualties, as the 7th Cavalry Regement lumbers slowly foward.

Col. Chris McMillan, Marine Commander: What did we loose?

1st LT: A few soldiers in the foward positions, we had a machinegun nest taken out, the rest of the bombs didn't do enough damage. Those pilot's couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat.

McMillan: Their our countrymen, they deserve some respect. Besides, disertion is wrecking havoc on their formation. How many planes did we loose?

CPT: About 6 sir. One of our birds managed to limp home, but the pilot is in critical care. One other was shot down, but the pilot managed to eject. I just wish we had a SAR copter to get them.

McMillan: That's too bad, we need all the fighters we can get. Does their army have air cover.

CPT: Yes it does sir. Their not stupid, although I wish they were.

McMillan: I guess we just have to rely on our new equipment then. Tell the militia in front to fall back when they come. We're going to set a trap that'll end this attack before it can really begin.

I find myself with my friends in eddinstyne and samslyvannia

::Col Custer is riding with the 7th Cavalry Regiment at the spearhead of the 5h mechanized division. The Cavalry ride into battle in deuce-and-a-halfs with jeeps flanking.::

Custer: Dowling! This is going to be a great day for battle. They don't stand a chance!

Major Dowling: Yes, sir. But is it really wise to ride streight into their fortifications? Shouldn't we make some sort of flanking manouver?

Custer: Nonsense, this area isn't flat enough for good movement, and once were in the city we can fan out. Besides, they don't have any armor or heavy artillery, what do we have to worry about?

::They roll onward towards the fortifications on the outskirts of the city. After a brief firefight, combined with a quick bombing run, the troops defending the city begin to pull back.::

Custer: Irregulars! Their using old men and boys! They can't have many troops at all! Foward!

::The 7th Cavalry rolls onward, through the sandbag fortifications into the city. The multistorried houses crop up on either side of them as they fan out onto the two major roads::

Custer: 324th battilion take the left, 357th the right. 341st on me down the middle, let's flush them out. A textbook assault.

Dowling: Sir, air superiority is engaging a bombing run. I suggest we take some cover.

Custer: Thank you Dowling. Dismount and get under those overhangs there! If they can't see us they can't hit us!

::The aircraft pass overhead from the north and begin bombing the 324th.::

Custer: Ok, they're gone! Onward!

::Just as the men of the 7th Cavalry leave their cover, Custer hears "Now!" shouted over the bombs dropped by the aircraft. Suddenly, 20mm grenade rounds are exploading everywhere.::

Custer: Fall back! Dowling! Tell them to fall back!

::Dowling gazes up limply at Custer. His legs are half a block away::

Dowling: Sorry sir.

::As 5.56mm fire begins to accompany the grenade assault, Custer manages to get into a working jeep and drive away. A few surviving squads make their way out on foot, some throwing down their weapons and packs to run faster::

*Premier Connery reads over euphoni's statement. and sighs, muttering to himself*

Is the average Euphoni that stupid to believe the BS that their government is spewing, even when it has contradicted itself on many occasions, just goes to show how weak willed and ignorant the whole country is, they believe what their government tells them.

*picks up the phone*
Wallace what is the status of the 5th and 7th Marine Expeditionary units?

Wallace: Sir, they are beginning to land at Euphoni's ports and we have our F-24's, F/A-21's and F-35's overflying the entire Euphoni Island. We also have 2 nimitz and 2 Impaler class Aircraft carriers supporting this operation.

Connery: good, order the 145th to land and take control of Euphoni's airports.

Wallace: yes sir!

*The TV signal breaks from its regularly scheduled program to bring you this live feed from Edenstein Palace*

*Emperor Ed sits behind his desk and looks into the camera*

Ed: Greetings to all of LETI. First of all, I'd like to congratulate THEoE on the ground breaking of their momument.

But now down to buisness, we have landed the first and second Mechanized divisons from Army Group 2 in Manarth to help in a peace keeping role. Civil War is a horrible thing, and we wish to end this crisis as soon and with as little blood shed as possible. These two Divisons will be under the command of Lt. Gen Tempco.

Secondly, to the council of clans. remove your troops from THEoE immediatly, and cease operations or suffer the consequences. The Debt that is owed to sketch, is almost completly paid. Edenstein has taken this on itself to repay sketch for the money that you owe him. Do not even discuss issues of reperations. You yourself returned money to THEoE so that they could build a navy and military force. We find it abomidable that instead of meeting your financial obligations, you would build a military force with the money that is properly owed to sketch.

Clans... you have 24 hours from the time of this message to cease all operations within Euphoni, and to pull out your troops, or there will be Dire Consequences.... right now, Fleets 1 and 2, which have been relieved of their obligations, are now steaming towards Euphoni. The choice is yours... Pull out, or face annilahtion. That is all.

Now some of you might be worried about the compulsory nudism. We feel that it is essential to becoming one with the nature around us. We just urge you all to be careful around hot things. We don't need any accidents if you know what I mean. You should enjoy the freedom of no clothes. It is truly liberating.

Of course, not all countries have the same laws we do, so be sure to bring something to wear when leaving BJL. We will be setting up areas that clothes will be required so that visitors will not feel ackward in our land. Hopefully we will have an influence on others so that LETI can be freed from the confines of clothing!

Now for something completely different!

The last full moon ritual had an all time high attendance. We look forward to seeing everybody at the new moon rites.

Blessed Be!

OOC: oops double post, you stupid hairless monkey

*Fleet Commander Stradivarius and Vice Admiral Sovereign aboard the DSS Buffet. Ensign Crusher hands a communique to Stradivarius.*

BS: Well Besson, it looks like we’ve got trouble.
AS: Sir?
BS: We're at CHEESECON 2. Apparently CoC has begun an invasion of Euphoni.
AS: How did they get there so fast? I mean, it’s taking us weeks to get back. And on top of that, we’re directly between CoC’s territory and Euphoni, so they went right through us without us noticing!
BS: Oh well that’s because to them weeks are years. We must look like we’re standing still.
AS: Boy don’t I feel stupid.
BS: The Emperor has pledged support to both Euphoni and Edenstein. We are to move the 32nd Naval Task Force to coastal Euphoni waters.
AS: What are the ROE?
BS: *reads* Rules of Engagement are as follows: This is a sensitive and volatile situation, and as such, you are to exercise extreme caution in all operations and attempt to avoid confrontation. You will not fire unless fired upon. At 15:08 hours on September the 17th, 2003, these ROE will expire. At that time, ROE will be as follows: Weapons are free, fire at will. Objective is complete annihilation of all TFootCoC Forces in Euphoni lands and waters while causing minimal damage to Euphoni property and population.
AS: Goddamned rules of engagement! We can’t trust those CoCs not to fire on us!
BS: I agree. We will take all reasonable precautions, but if that bastard so much as looks at us the wrong way, he’s toast. Step up CAP flights and keep at least one E-2 in orbit at all times. Keep a Viking on station and another on Ready 5 at all times. All escort ships to use active sonar and radar at max range; they already know where we are, so there’s no point in making a pre-emptive strike easy for them. Begin preparing options for attack in case he is foolish enough to disregard the threat we present. Also begin planning reconnaissance sorties to overfly the CoC positions.
AS: *salutes* Caseus Arma, sir.
BS: *returns salute* Dismissed.

*Broadcasted all over the region of LETI*

***Public Service Announcement***

The Dominion of Sketch declares the region of LETI to no longer be of any interest. All military assest shall be removed. Troop transports will be arriving shortly to begin re-deployment. Expect fleet movements near your waters during this time. Full withdrawl is projected to be completed within six standard months. That is all.

***End Announcement***

***High Priest Farkas reads the news of the oncoming war in EUphoni***

Farkas: Tuckwell! Tuckwell get in here. How long has this CoC been terrorizing the people of Euphoni, and why haven't we done anything to help the Edenstein or any of the others?

BT: I'm sorry sir, I thought you had known about this. There isn't much we can do for the allies. They have more military power than we could ever dream of. The only thing we can do is offer them a place to store their suplies, but I don't know how useful that would be, because Edenstein is closer to Euphoni than we are.

Farkas: Give then the island of Bundersberg. *BT give Farkas a side ways look.* Yes, I know that's where the national garden will be. We can wait to start the plant. Besides we still need to get intouch with a few more nations. They seem to be popping up all over there place. They can set up camp or something. It will be a nice nutural place for a camp or headquarters or prostitutes. Just offer it. If the take it then at least we can say we did something.

BT: I'll send a message to Edenstein and Samsylvannia right away sir.

Farkas: Man I'm so glad we got rid of clothes. I feel so much freer!

**Barry Tuckwel leaves for the communications department**

:::LETI Sports Channel 15 News interrupts the entire broadcasting network in the region:::

MU: This is Matt Underwood for LETI Sports news. Baseball's regular season is wrapping up now. October is nearing, and the playoff berths have all been clinched. Crippleslovenia clinched the LETI East, while Edenstein in second took the wildcard. The LETI Central was taken by Carianada. Spinkoslovakia beat out Proenzastan for the LETI West position. Next week, Carianada battles Edenstein for a World series spot while Crippleslovenia will aim to take out Spinkoslovakia for the other spot. More next week. That's when will will have the final standings.

:::The network goes back to the regularly scheduled programs:::

:::We see Lowell Simshauser e-mailing Emperor Ed in Edenstein:::

LS: Emeror Ed, Spinkoslovakian troops and citizens are standing by. We are in full support of any actions you take should CoC ignore your Ultimatum. It seems to me that the actions he is taking need to be stopped and we will provide any assistance and our full support.

:twisted: hello, i would like to thank you for letting me into your wonderful little area, i promise my country will not create too much havoc ..... moaohahahahaha!

Manarth's positiion in the current flairup is one of neutrality. Although we condemn COC's supply of weapons and munitions to the rebels in Port Hrabe, we are currently in no position to help anyone.

Edenstein, waste 'em for us. Without them, the rebel's on our shores don't stand a chance.

Oh, and try some of our Queso dip. I can't believe how great this stuff is. Can I get some more in here!? Thanks.

And Col. Custer is being executed for cowardance. That is all.

Lord Protector Stan Evans

*The TV signal breaks from its regularly scheduled program to bring you this live feed from Edenstein Palace*

*Emperor Ed sits behind his desk and looks into the camera*

Ed: Greetings to all of LETI. First of all, I'd like to congratulate THEoE on the ground breaking of their momument.

But now down to buisness, we have landed the first and second Mechanized divisons from Army Group 2 in Manarth to help in a peace keeping role. Civil War is a horrible thing, and we wish to end this crisis as soon and with as little blood shed as possible. These two Divisons will be under the command of Lt. Gen Tempco.

Secondly, to the council of clans. remove your troops from THEoE immediatly, and cease operations or suffer the consequences. The Debt that is owed to sketch, is almost completly paid. Edenstein has taken this on itself to repay sketch for the money that you owe him. Do not even discuss issues of reperations. You yourself returned money to THEoE so that they could build a navy and military force. We find it abomidable that instead of meeting your financial obligations, you would build a military force with the money that is properly owed to sketch.

Clans... you have 24 hours from the time of this message to cease all operations within Euphoni, and to pull out your troops, or there will be Dire Consequences.... right now, Fleets 1 and 2, which have been relieved of their obligations, are now steaming towards Euphoni. The choice is yours... Pull out, or face annilahtion. That is all.

Edenstein, THERE IS NO DEBT TO SKETCH, the DEBT WAS PAID IN FULL SHORTLY AFTER THE WAR. Therefore the money i am attempting to recover is for my own on national purposes, if you are willing to take on Euphoni's debt, be my guest except the money goes to me not Sketch. here is how it went down. I borrowed 2.5 Trillion from sketch to pay the bill of cleaning up my soil, water and air(thank you RESI corporation). I used 500billion out of my budget for 2 years (1 trillion) then took the full payment of Spinkoslovakia(1.5 Trillion) and payed Sketch off. If someone pays me the rest of the reparations i will gladly withdraw my troops. I have no other interest in Euphoni other than money owed. The rest of the money was going to be used to pay the families of the civilians that lost their lives, rebuild a city the size of Los Angelos and further strengthen my military to prevent future attacks. other than unfinished business i have no other real interest in most of the region.

OOC: And we have none in you! JUST LEAVE.

OOC: And we have none in you! JUST LEAVE.

OOC: PAY ME THE DAMN MONEY AND I WILL

OOC: This is from sketch after I asked him what the status of the reperations where.

Uhh, I'm not quite sure. I believe that it was 1.5 trillion, which would cover the clean up costs services of The Resi Corporation that I payed for up front. Nothing else was demanded on my part. In fact, that debt is not yours, it is CoC. And he was free to extract it out of you.

Subj: Monetary Compensation
Msg:
CoC owes the Dominion of Sketch 1.5 trillion dollars, for the payments made to the Resi Corporation for their cleanup services. Their services were required as a result of the use of WMD in the early days of the conflict. Your nation's dabt is not to us however, it is to CoC. It is CoC who is indebted to us. But, we are sure that CoC would be appropriately appreciative should you clear their debts to us. We do not particularily care who clears whos debts.

Very Respectfully,
Sir Roger Smith
Minister of Foreign Affairs

This is after We agreed on a settlement....

Msg: We find the payment plan exceptable, and will transfer the responsibility of the debt over to your nation. In return, we will remove our entire military presence from the region, seeing as how they are no longer nessessary. However, since CoC is a sovereign nation, we cannot force them to remove their military presence. What we can do is encourage CoC to leave the region, and will not support their intentions to stay.

Sketch seemed settled...... He is obviously leaving....... there-for, it seemes like a moot point at this time,

http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=55305&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=20

this was the thread that the debt was created in.

I ended up making 4 payments of 250 billion to sketch through Telegrams.

and then the final 1.5 trillion was made up of Spinkoslovakia's reparations.

i have no debt to him, edenstein, he played you for a fool.

In other words Wayne, grow up. Everything I've done so far in this game has been IC pretty much, not once until now have I said anything directly to you. But heed my words... Grow up.

Meh, I honestly had forgotten about the whole thing. Seeing as how no one wanted me around and such. TGs come and go, posts get buried, besides.......whats a trillion or two?

Maybe I'll drop on in again some time down the road, shake things up again. BTW, what school are all you guys from? I'm from WPI (Worcester Polytech).

*Emperor Ed is seen sitting at his desk again looking very grave*

People of LETI, 24 hours is up, The forces that have invaded THEoE have not been removed removed and an utter disdain has been shown towards My Nation and Sammsylvania. Premier Connery your 24 hours are up, expect a campaign of shock and awe that the LETI Region has never before seen, I have also dispatched fleet 3 for support. You have been warned, leave now or face total annhilation.

OOC: first chance i have had at a computer since last night

Furthermore Council of Clan will begin a staged withdrawal from the region.

* VR civilians move out of CoC on command of Dorrstein *

*Buffy and Cato convene in the Palace War Room with their cabinet. Simshauser stands by via teleconference screen*

Buffy: We've received word that Council of Clan has retreated from Euphoni.
New secretary of war Deanna White, not to be confused with Deanna Troi, who fled the country when Riker was put in a coma: Excellent, Buffy. Even though my job is secretary of war, I'd like peace in this nation.
Cato: Sketch is gone as well, ma'am. Due to the time anomaly around this region, it has taken only one day for his troops to leave.
Buffy: Peace all around--except maybe in Manarth...
Cato: But that's far enough away that we don't have to worry about it. Besides, it's a civil war and doesn't concern us.
White: So I should take the navy off standby?
Simshauser (onscreen): Spinkoslovakia's troops are still on alert. I wouldn't advise it.
White: You have a point. Peace never stands for long in this region...
Buffy: Or anywhere else, Deanna.
White: True. *sighs* Well, at least our baseball team's in the playoffs.
Cato: Best record of the season.
Buffy: But to get back to what I was saying. Do you think Empress Carolyn can return to the country yet?
Simshauser: I still wouldn't advise it. Ford Explorer and Spike are still AWOL. And no one knows where the GHS is...
*everyone gasps*
Buffy: The GHS. That's right. Everything will stay as it is for now.

*In a darkened room somewhere in Spinkoslovakia... a woman's voice can be heard...*
Woman: I'm done with him.
*Bob, the young Carianadan boy, falls to the ground with an audible thump. He lies motionless*
Woman: Get rid of him.
*Spike and Ford Explorer move in and take the body away*
*The woman lights a cigarette. The flicker in front of her face shows that she is, indeed, the Grand High Skank*
GHS: So, I heard COC pulled out today... God, do I hate that. *she puffs* Get back in here, boys.
*Ford Explorer and Spike return*
GHS: I tire of these playthings. I want the real thing, boys. Where is Riker?
Ford: Still in the Carianadan palace, ma'am.
GHS: And Slotter, and the terrorist group?
Ford: I left them when Riker was shot. I figured we didn't need them anymore.
GHS: You thought wrong, Ford... it's true that the shooting abolished our need for the puppet, Riker, himself, but it put us in a very bad place politically. Even though Empress Carolyn's in a secret hideout, her regime is now in place. That isn't going to help us in the long run. You should have kept the hit out on her.
Ford: I think Slotter's group decided they had better things to do.
GHS: You know what I want... I want COC, Ford.
Spike: *sniggers*
Ford: I know, ma'am.
GHS: *getting agitated* You know what I mean! I want Wallace.... and Emperor Ed, and Corran, and President Joshua... all of them... the whole deal. I even want Memzy... I could turn him.
Ford: I don't think controlling Carianada is going to help you with that. They're pretty ignored in this region.
GHS: *laughs* I start with Carianada because they're the weakest. I don't want just them. I want ALL of LETI, and no one is going to stand in my way. Now go get me Slotter...

FYI Carianda, I posted the start of withdrawl, not its completion in its entirety. I even gave a timeline for it. But whatever, consider me gone. You'll see me around.

So you guys are all from (or currently attend school in) the general RL area of the mythical LETI? Interesting, all my friends that I started this with left. I'm the only one left from my dorm.

HPS Luna: Hello Captain. What news do you have for us today. I hope it's pleastant. I'm just not in the mood for bad news.

O'Henrey: Sorry, it's not that good. Our underground source in Carianada tells us that there is horny, crazy, psycho b1tch trying to take over everything.

HPS Luna: Well the horny and crazy part aren't too bad. Let us consult the oracles tonight. Maybe it will take care of itself and we won't have to lay the smack down on her candy *interupted*

O'Henrey: :shock: Miss I think maybe we should limit the amount of wrestling you watch. You are starting to become a bit more violent. I'll try to get intouch with our people. I just hope this women doesn't find them before we can get them out of the her country.

**As Capt. O'Henrey leaves the High Priest Council turns the tap of the last WWE paperview back on.**

HP Thor: Man I'm glad we got that turned off before he saw what we were watching. If the people of BJL new we watched this stuff instead of discussing "pressing issues" we would be in so much trouble.

OOC: well travis i wasnt bitching about your hospitality.. its just that you had so much to say till i was there face to face...As for you i could really give a FUCK less what happens to you. The others i met it seemed to go well.. and the same that night for ed once i talked to him on aim. Now seeing as how im always an ass.. HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU TALK TO ME OR DO I POST WHEN A PROBLEM HASNT ARISEN? Now then take that into account then speak.

EDIT: My main reason to visit the u of a was going to be to meet you guys and finally see your point of veiw.. (not a blood thirsty rampage) well it so happens that sam pissed me off.. called me on a bluff and i went up.. seeing as how i got into spanton uninhibited.. (then forgot that derek was outside looking for me) i would have shown up on time and alone. Now then if you'd care to start things off on a new foot be my guest and i'll be fine with that. Just remember in NS and off of it im a totally diffrent guy. Ask ed, seeing as how hes mainly the one ive talked to a few times without NS coming up.

*Earlier this morning, in the secret hideout of the GHS. Spike enters*

Spike: Ma'am, I haven't been able to reach the terrorist group.
GHS: I had a feeling you wouldn't. Slotter's been AWOL for weeks. *lights cigarette* I've been thinking, overnight... seeing as I didn't have anyone, I mean anything to do... *clears throat*
Spike: That's not my fault, ma'am.
GHS: Or is it? *raises eyebrows* Anyway... I have an idea. We need to be in Edenstein by tonight.
Spike: Can do, ma'am.

*A woman in a trench coat, dark glasses, and a hat walks up to the Edenstein Palace.*

GHS to security guard: I'm here to see Alphonse Goulardi.
Security Guard: Right this way.

*The guard leads her up the stairs into one of the top turrets of the palace. He then leaves. The Grand High Skank stands in the doorway until she catches Goulardi's eye. She then discards her coat to reveal a very, very short black dress.*

GHS: *purring* Alphonse?
Goulardi: *drools*
GHS: That's interesting... usually men get a few words out before I move in. But you're completely catatonic already. My power must be increasing. Do you know why I'm here?
Goulardi: *frantically tries to close his jaw, but it drops open again*
GHS: I thought so. I'm here to claim the money you've embezzled from Edenstein. No, don't try to say anything--I know you can't. In return for giving me the money, I'll protect the fact that you embezzled the money--or I won't, whatever. I just need it. *She bends over the desk, reaches into the drawer, and takes Goulardi's checkbook* I'll be in touch, or not. *She kisses Goulardi on the cheek, and he falls over, unconscious*

*The GHS walks out of Edenstein's palace and proceeds to spend a lot of Edenstein's money on military equipment, which she then hides in the abandoned lands of Anaverse, on Carianada's border*

*In her new hiding place in the abandoned lands of Anaverse, the GHS makes a phone call*

GHS: Ahhh... what an appropriate place for me to take up residence. Empress Jessica? Of Counterpoint?
Jessica: Yes. I've just heard of your new power in the region.
GHS: Well, I suppose you could call it that... I don't quite have power yet, but I do have certain... feminine wiles.
Jessica: I see. So you can only win over males.
GHS: Males of the heterosexual persuasion, yes.
Jessica: I see. That might not do us much good in some of the countries. But Edenstein...
GHS: That is where I got the 70 billion dollars.
*they laugh*
Jessica: All right, I'm convinced. I'll join your alliance. And I have fifty thousand skanks ready to help you.
GHS: Excellent. Now we just have to decide who we should invade first...

*suddenly all over the region, all tv transmissions are interrupted and a female figure slowly comes into clarity*

http://hometown.aol.com/propkingjason/images/janepro.jpg

Good evening, LETI. My name is Empress Jessica. I have stayed silent until now, intently watching the different goings on in the region, the backstabbing, double dealing and all-out irrational behavior of the opposite gender of our species, and frankly it truly disgusts me. The nation of Edenstein and Henceland Omega are by far the worst offenders. Henceland Omega, while they have never made a military move, is the mastermind behind all the evil in this region. Through the DIRECT involvement of Emperor Corran and his two harlots Ritsuko and Luna, they have created the problems since the founding of the region.

And Edenstein, the foulest, most wretched, despicable country in this region... as the CoCk's said... they have been the bullies, using their military might to influence all happenings in LETI.... This must be dealt with harshly....

LETI, Counterpoint is disgusted at the chauvinistic attitude of the pigs of the region. No longer will we stand for this. I'm ordering that my military be put on alert, so that we may defend our interests, and ultimately put an end to the hard-handed grip that these so called "Men" have on the region. That is all.

*All the TVs in the region go back to the previous program*

*General Murdock and his second-in-command, Lt. General Hammond, are deep underground in the DOS Military Command Center.*

Hammond: Sir, this just came in, apparently there's some trouble with Counterpoint.

GM: Counterpoint? Where the hell is that? Never heard of it. But forget that, do we have the coordinates?

Hammond: I have them right here. The Emperor has ordered the 32nd Naval Task Force to Counterpointian waters...and sir, we're to send them some cheese.

GM: Excellent, activate ICBCL's 23 and 24. Retrieve the launch codes and prepare to transmit.

Hammond: Yes, sir, right away.

GM: And George...

Hammond: Sir?

GM: Make it Limburger.

*Hammond salutes sets to his task. He transmits the launch codes to CL23 and CL24. The massive catapults rotate and fire twin bricks of cheese.*

*deep inside the command and control nerves of the Counterpointian headquarters, a radar operator looks in horror as two huge lumps of cheese head towards the nation. The radar operator runs up to a superior*

RO: *Salutes* Sir! There are two huge blocks of cheese heading towards us! What are we going to do? Pac-3 Missles can't shoot them down!!!!

*The officer thinks for a second, then runs to Empress Jessica*

OF: My Lady, Samsylvannia has launched two blocks of cheese at us. What should we do?

EJ: Well, as CoCk so evidently put it, Pac-3's can't shoot down a block of cheese..... Launch 2 bricks of Anti-Cheese at it from launchers 32 and 42. That will sizzle it.

OF: Aye aye, my lady.

*The officer runs back to C&C and punches in the commands. In a silo a few clicks away, two massive turrets rotate out of the ground, and with a large bang, two blocks of anti-cheese fly toward the limburger. Upon contact, both blocks of cheese cease to be*

*The DOS Command Center*

Hammond: Sir, we have a problem!

GM: What is it?

Hammond: It's Counterpoint...sir, they have Anti-cheese!!

GM: WHAT!?

Hammond: They shot down the limburger.

GM: Damnit!! But I thought Anti-cheese was only a theory. It doesn't exist!

Hammond: Sir, Anti-cheese is possibly and may even occur in nature according to the known laws of quantum physics. They must have found some way to control it.

GM: Damnit!! Mark my words, they will pay for this. Stand back, George, I'm going to do something drastic.

Hammond: Sir?

GM: They may have anti-cheese, but I don't think they have anti-sheep.

Hammond: Sheep, sir?

GM: *with a crazed look in his eyes* Yes! Load CL 3 with one standard domesticated sheep! I'd like to see them shoot this down!!

Hammond: Sir, are you feeling alright? I mean, wouldn't you prefer something thats less messy...something with wings...maybe a chicken...or a duck...

GM: NO!!!! SHEEP IT IS!!!! THEY'LL RUE THE DAY THEY CROSSED BUCK MURDOCK!!!

*ICBCL 3 launches a sheep towards Counterpoint*
http://hometown.aol.com/sammyk762/images/flyingsheep.jpg

*Back at the C&C HQ of Counterpoint, the radar officer goes back to the senior officer with more bad news*

RO: Sir, we shot down the cheese but I have more bad news... they've launched a sheep at us...

OF: A SHEEP!?!?!?!?! WTF!?!?!?!?!?! I'll go ask the empress again....

*He goes off and finds Jessica*

OF: My Lady, they've fired a sheep at us now............

EJ: That's it.. those chauvinist A$$'s have gone too far.... Launch the Coyote...

OF: NOT THE COYOTE!!!

EJ: Yes the Coyote.....

*The officer runs back to the C&C room and fires the "Coyote". From the same hangar that the Anti Cheese came from, a panel swings open and the the "Coyote" Air Defense missle system opens up.
http://www.collectorsconnection.org/imagesa/27a417.jpg
("Coyote" Air Defense System)
The missle fires and speeds towards the target, it intercepts the sheep, and the "Coyote" grabs the sheep and they both tumble out of the sky and harmlesly fall to the ground with a plop*

Empress Jessica: *Looking at the Radar screen* HA! Take that!!!

OOC: LOL

* Colonel Roosevelt, leading the First Volunteer Free Manarthian Air Force adresses his wing stationed at Port Hrabe*

Men today we are going into combat to help free Manarth from the grip of the tyrant Evans. We will be attacking troop formations of the 3rd Divisions that are on their way here to assault the Marines defending this city. The 8 aircraft 345th(Death Dealers) will be leading in the assault equipped with Harms and Shrikes to scare up any AAA we encounter. 36 aircraft from both the 387th(Black Knights) and the 128th(Tigersharks) will be carrying Mark 82 Snakeyes, Cluster Munitions and Napalm. the Death Dealers will also be watching out for any unfriendly CAP.


They will be passing through the Hrabe Majorus pass, and we will be catching them in a column formation.

Gentlemen, to your aircraft, go kick some ass!

*44 F-35's take off from Port Hrabe and fly 75 feet off the ground at 700 knots all the way to the 3rd division*

*Lt. Colonel MacLeod of the Death Dealers leads the cover aircraft in and spots 4 F-15's flying CAP for the 3rd Divisions*

MacLeod: This is Dealer One, Tallyho, Fox 3
Dealer 3: this is Dealer 3, Fox 3
Dealer 7: Dealer 7, Fox 3
Dealer 6: Dealer 6, Fox 3

*four AMRAAM (SLammers) missiles streak up from the aircraft intercepting all four F-15's before the F-15's even know they are there.*

OOC: I already talked to Manarth so don't get mad at me blowing up his stuff.

IC:
Dealer 5: Dealer 5, we are negative for ground radar at the moment, Strike force Bravo is cleared to engage

*Men from the 3rd Division marching along on foot look up into the sky and see 4 white streaks from the distance that lead up to 4 explosions in the sky. They also see 2 parachutes.*

*LtG. Jefferson, commander of the 3rd Divison*
Eddison, get your ass over here
*LtC. Eddison, Jefferson's Adjugant, scurries over to the general who is look at the parachutes through the binoculars*
Eddison: Sir?

Jefferson: I want you to dispacth Bravo Company to go pick up those pilots.

Eddison: Yes Sir, Bravo Company is already on it sir.

Jefferson: Good, Dismissed

*At that moment 8 F-35's from the Death Dealers fly in and strafe the Column with 30mm Cannon fire. Screams of men dying and wounded rise up from the column, as men fire back with Ak-47's. Shortly followed by 6 waves of 6 aircraft flying in low and fast with the first 2 waves dropping 500lb "dumb bombs" (Mark 82's) on large groups of soldiers, causing more screams. 2 F-35's drop Napalm cannisters both in front of and behind the troop column, trapping the soldiers in a nice tight area. after the first 2 waves of MK 82's the second two waves come in with Cluster munitions spreading death over a wide scale on the marching troops. the last 2 waves of 6 come in dropping napalm canisters and spreading fire all over the soldiers below. then all 36 circle back around and in flights of 4 make 2 more passes at the soldiers firing their 30mm Cannons dry on the soldiers below.*

*General Jefferson crawls out from underneath an upturned jeep clutching at his right arm only to find it blown off with shrapnel peppering the right side of his body.*

Jefferson: What in the F*ck just happened. Evans' going to have my @ss for this

*Passes out*

*LtC MacLean of the Black Knights*

MacLean: We are bingo for fuel and ammo, time to return to the barn
*a series of "Roger That" chorus's over the radio and the F-35's head back, all except Shark 9*

Shark 9: I've taken Small arms fire and am losing hydralic fluid fast, i'm going to have to gain some altitude so that I can make it back

*Shark 7 and Shark 8 fly up to escort him in*

*Fighters scramble from St. Matthewstown to intercept the 1st Volunteer Free Manarthian Air Wing but all they find is the wreckage that once was 3rd Division*

OOC: I remind you that these are volunteers fighting for Manarth, not members of the CoC military.

*Emperor Ed walks out onto his balcony, the crowd dosn't cheer as loud or as long as usual, there is a definete "Cloud" over the ranks of people assembled to hear Emperor Ed. He walks up to the balcony and speaks to the people*

People of Edenstein and LETI. The nation of Edenstein is appalled at the attacks by the "Volunteer" pilots from TFOOT-COC. Although they are "Volunteer" it is obvious that these pilots in some shape are recieving aide from clans, We are officialy denouncing these pilots involvement in the conflict that is happening in Manarth. Now I know what your all thinking, Edenstein has committed troops to Manarth, but keep in mind, these troops are there in a peace keeping role, not to promote a state sponsored blood bath.. Edenstein will still keep our forces in manarth to help bring about peace, but also we are sending in 10 M.A.S.H. units and dispatching a hospital ship to Manarth waters to treat wounded from the recent "Massecar" and in any future conflicts. We will also treat any "Rebel forces" that require medical assitance. We are not intrested in the whole-sale killing of people. And let it be known, that if any Edenstein forces are fired upon by these rebel pilots, retribution will be swift and brutal. I have time for a few questions.... You *points*

Reporter 1: Farbra Walters, LETI News and Edenstein Channel 3, What of the recent CoC Pullout? How does this affect the region?

Ed: Well Obviously, there won't be any more bickering about reperation payments... but hopefully after this issue in Manarth, peace will prevail. Next *points*

R2: Elly Von Houten, HO Channel 2. What of Empress Jessica and Counterpoint? It seems like she has made some very hostile threats towards Edenstein and Henceland Omega... What is Edensteins take on the situation.

Ed: Well, Obviously we are keeping a close watch on the situation... at the moment, we have no official comment on the subject. *looks around and brokejaw is waving his arm like a mad man* I shouldn't be asking, but go a head Mr Brokejaw....

R3: *Brokejaw breathes deeply* Tom Brokejaw, NBC News... Ok.. lets piece this together.... Laura is missing from Henceland Omega, you are in the palace all by yourself.... coincidence...... I THINK NOT!!! SPILL THE BEANS!!! PULITZER PULITZER PULITZER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*A murmer can be heard from the crowd and the reporters*

Ed: There is absolutly nothing going on, i have not had any relations with that women..... that is all....

*Emperor Ed walks back into the palace*

* Dorrstein frowns at the recent attacks made on Couterpoint from Samsilvania.

Dorrstein *declares*: Cheese and sheep entering this country will be subject to high tarrifs. $1 Trillion dollars to be exact.

::Inside the Hence Palace, old Maison walks into the Throne Room. Tempest is sitting on the steps near the throne with his face in his hands. Fifel Hoover is exiting towards the Map Room::

Maison: Master Freemont what seems to be the trouble?

Tempest: Oh Maison. Well this whole region's going down the tubes it looks like. There are civil wars in Carianada Manarth, and Daistallia (outside LETI) CoC has pulled out but has volunteers helping in Manarth. ED blames CoC and is threatening again. Counterpoint basically Mianged on us and is speaking out against us when we've done nothing but offer them our help and support. Now they're in an almost war with Samsylvania. General Siannodel has been missing, and Brokejaw's claims are starting to be believed by the rest of the press. And of course, His Henceness and the Admiral are stuck in Manarth while General Yamamoto and Advisor Althena are stuck in Daistallia.

Maison: Master Freemont! You and Master Muyo have done well thus far in running things here! The people are still happy, and you somehow caused the Mello to jump up! If anything occurs I have great faith that you will make the right decision, and His Henceness trusts you as well!

Tempest: Ha ha! I love your optimism Maison! I just wish I could dip someone in the lake and have it be done with. But I guess I just have to keep going huh?

Maison: Well put Master Freemont!

OOC: ok quick history lesson here, my Volunteer pilots are no longer members of the CoC Military, they are in fact members of the Manarthian military (much like the Eagle squadron in britain, or the flying tigers in China in WWII)
I am roleplaying them as an independant unit.


Also all aid going to Manarth has been paid for, Manarth Bought the F-35's off of my government. These pilots attacked a column of soldiers that were on their way to attack and seize Port Hrabe.

Other equipment has been sold to the Manarthian government, and what hasn't been sold has been Lend-Leased. This attack was not state sponsored at all. and you can hardly call it a massacre, it was a military engagement against an enemy that was ill-fitted to fight. These men had air cover, but it was inadequate and they were uniformed soldiers, there have been no Civilians reported hurt.

IC: Council of Clan forces have been disassembling bases and fortifications in their territory inside LETI and several naval and Air units have already left, do not be alarmed, all ships and aircraft are heading south out of the region. Bases will still be maintained within Viert Reich, and Elite Reich as per our treaty agreements.

::A timid Lt. Gen Franklin walks in to Lord Protector Evans' office. Lt. Gen Lincoln is just leaving::

Lincoln: ::nods:: Franklin.

Franklin: ::nods back, somberly:: Lincoln.

::Evans doesn't even looks up at the commander of the 1st Armored Division::

Evans: What is it General?

Franklin: Sir, Third Division has been hit by aircraft.

Evans: So, what does General Jefferson have to say? I trust not too many men were lost.

Franklin: Four aircraft, and about 40% of the divisions men. Dead and wounded. Gen Jefferson is in critical care. We didn't even get any of them.

Evans: ....

Franklin: And now Vandershale has taken control of Lake Clarke City. They were waiting until we left. We've been cut off from St. Matthewstown, and our airforce, and we have no way of supplying the survivors of 3rd Division or 5th Division.

Evans: ....

Franklin: What should we do sir?

Evans: ....

Franklin: Say something sir.

Evans: ::Calmly:: Send the Edenstein forces to retake Lake Clarke City. Their peacekeeping forces, they should know how to stop a rebelion. And tell the remains of 3rd Division to assault the city from the other side. Oh, and have 4th Division send a regement to assist, say the 103rd.

::He pulls out a colt .45 and aims it at Franklin::

Evans: ::Screaming:: And get out there yourself you stupid worthless pile of sh1t! Get the 1st Armored out there! I'm sick and tired of excuses and failures! If you can't do it ::He fires the gun into the celing, emptying it's entire clip:: I'LL FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN!!!!!!

::Two guards peek in the door, finding that Evans wasn't in danger, but rather Franklin was, they close the door behind them::

Franklin: ::Stunned:: Yes sir. I'll be right on it sir.

Evans: ::Regaining control of himself:: I'm just disappointed you hadn't thought of it already. ::Reloads the gun and holsters it:: Well, what are you waiting for?

Franklin: Sir! ::Salutes and leaves::

Evans: ::Muttering after him:: I'm sorrounded by incompitance.

*The weekly radio address*

Dorrstein: Men, women, and children of the Reich. I am asking (really forcing you) to welcome the refuges from Manarth and to support the nation of Counterpoint who has been has two attacks made from Samsilvania. Both nations have been attacked by ruthless governments who "seek" peace in the nation. One of these ruthless nations have attacked us with paint before and we are still trying to clean up the enviromental hazard on our northeast shore.

* Later that night ... a terrorist group hang-glides in to all the cheese factories of Samsilvania and jams up the cheese makers.*

OOC: Silly Steve, there is no civil war in Carianada... there will be a statement from Empress Carolyn later, when I'm not at work.

*all the tv's in LETI flicker as they all begin broadcasting an address

Emporress Dawn appears on the screan*

I am the Emporress Dawn of the lands of MOGG4, and i amappauled at the attacks, on Eddinstiene and Samsylvannia. lets get one thing strait i HATE feminazi's who think they should lead because they are women. I am publically stating i give emporror Ed my full support, and i consider Murdock a close personal friend. To defend my lands and the souvrenty that IS LETI, i shall support these men.

*Emporress dawn gives "the bird" as the transmision ends*

Good evening people of LETI and Empress Jessica

Dear Empress Jessica, this is Justin Mazion, the head of foreign affairs for Euphoni;

Euphoni would like to extend a right hand of welcome into our region. We must say that we feel very disheartened with your recent claims of the chauvinistic pigs in this region. We would like to use THEoE as an example, if we may. Here in Euphoni, women have the total freedom to act as they please and to live their lives according to their wants and needs. Why, in fact, we have plenty of women in jobs all over our country. For instance, some women are cleaning the COLOSSAL MONUMENT, and some women are nurses in hospitals, and we have a huge amount of women in the maid-industry (a silently booming industry, mind you), plenty of women as waitresses that serve their men food all day long…which brings me to the most important job a woman can have: Cooking their men food. That’s right, we also fully encourage women who stay home and do their womanly duties. I personally feel that a woman should stay in her home, and not speak unless spoken to. Furthermore, I feel that their sole responsibility should be to make babies and chicken-pot pie. But that’s just what my wife does. Like I said, women have plenty of jobs to choose from – however, 'if' they choose the right one remains to be seen in the eyes of God.

You’re welcome into our country any time you wish. Just know as a woman, you won’t be able to speak before His Holy Emperor does. Thanks for your understanding.

Sincerely,

JMazion

OOC: ok quick history lesson here, my Volunteer pilots are no longer members of the CoC Military, they are in fact members of the Manarthian military (much like the Eagle squadron in britain, or the flying tigers in China in WWII)
I am roleplaying them as an independant unit.

OOC: Actually those situations were slightly different. RAF No.71 (Eagle) Squadron (and later two others) were formed when the RAF began running low on pilots. American pilots were allowed to resign their commissions and join (no equipment was involved). The Flying Tigers, although technically mercenaries, were approved of and supported by Roosevelt. Also, they were using obsolete equipment and never had more than a handful of flyable planes at any time, and certainly didn't have an entire fully equipped air wing with support at their disposal.
Ed was making an in character accusation towards your country, and rightly so. Nobody's telling you you can't do it, so stop taking everything so personally. It's no fun role playing if you can't make inuendos without being argued with about the historical precedent for this that and the other thing. I'm sure Japan said similar things when they found out they were fighting...no make that getting their butts kicked by American pilots. Chill man.

About ed's accusation, how did he even know it was my fighters that carried out the attack, there were no press releases. All the soldiers could have known was that

Actually at the time that the Flying Tigers started flying, the P40B Tomahawk was the top fighter of the Army Air Corps, and they received support through the british and americans. After the Port of Rangoon fell to the Japanese, Supply shipments slowed down, since american aircraft had to fly over the "Hump" of Himalaya mountains. The Flying tigers got a Full wing of aircraft. They kept most of them in the air as well. And back to the matter of my volunteers, they haven't received any support since the initial shipment of aircraft and munitions. They received enough for several months of operations and any further support comes from Manarth as they are a part of the Manarthian AF.

*Carianada Channel 2, simulcast on LETI Channel 5*

Reporter Ariadne Alexis: We now interrupt tonight's broadcast of "Star Trek: The Next Next Generation* for a special report from the secret location of Empress Carolyn.

*Empress Carolyn stands in front of a blue screen, looking very serious*

Carolyn: People of Carianada and of LETI. I have just received word from my advisors and interim rulers of Carianada that there has been movement in Anaverse, on the southern border of Carianada. Now I've known that the ruler of Anaverse deserted several days ago--so this worries me. I cannot leave my secret location yet, as I don't know who is after me. I believe this is the work of the GHS, or Grand High Skank, one of the most dangerous powers to arise in the world today. She is a beautiful woman with amazing powers of seduction, able to incapacitate men with a single look. Yet she is also a SKANK, and this makes her EVIL!!!

*she pushes her hair back with a sharp flick*

I want to make a few things perfectly clear. For one thing, this is not a civil war in Carianada. Far from it. The Grand High Skank is a completely separate power, and she is a threat to all of LETI. I have also heard rumors, although I cannot be sure of them, that she has allied with Counterpoint, the nation ruled by Empress Jessica. Jessica may look innocent, but she is powerful--do not underestimate her. Carianada is fully opposed to this alliance as well as the nation of Counterpoint itself, and will do anything to keep them from gaining power in this region. We fully support the cheese- and sheep-launching of Samsylvannia, and we frown on the efforts of Viert Reich to stop it.

Furthermore, this is not a battle of men vs. women; this is a battle of men and women versus SKANKS. Although we would fully support our ally Euphoni in any attack against them, I must say that Justin Mazion is an idiot. Certainly not in this nation, women do not live to serve men. I hate to believe that such chauvinist pigs take residence in Euphoni. Mem. Zart always seemed like such a nice man... it's such a shame... *sighs*

Anyway, this statement has been long enough. Go ahead back to your regularly scheduled program. Just remember... the skanks are out there... and they have weapons.

*Empress Carolyn stares darkly at the camera for a moment, and then the TV flicks back to Star Trek*

*Alyssa Geraci, captain of the Counterpoint Skank Force, stands ready to intercept the 32nd Naval Task Force sent from Samslyvannia. She is flanked by the army of skanks. She turns to Tracey McQuinston, her cohort*

Alyssa: Ready?
Tracey: We're as ready as we'll ever be, Captain.

*She motions to the rest of the skanks, and they take off their raincoats to reveal their skimpy outfits*
*Alyssa marches up to the first navy man she sees*

Alyssa: *purring* Hellooo.

*The navy man falls over*

*The Skanks make their way completely through the Task Force, causing each and every navy man to defect. When they have finished, the entire Task Force has pledged to join the skanks*

*The Grand High Skank sits in her office high in one of the abandoned towers in Anaverse. She has unofficially renamed the country Anaverse GHS*

GHS (on phone): Did you see that transmission from Euphoni? Bastards... they'll see what happens when they mess with us. A woman's place is in the kitchen? Please... *sniffs* They're all euphonium players, anyway... what do they know? I myself am a trumpet player... yeah, but most of my girls are flute players... Yeah! You can do a lot of things with a flute. Oh, sorry, that was too much information? Okay. Yeah, you're going to issue a statement? Okay, great, Jessica. Bye.

*Empress Jessica's face appears on all of the TV's in the LETI Region*
http://www.ayala.fslife.co.uk/proton/proton64.jpg

Greetings people of LETI, I come before you tonight, OUTRAGED, at the remarks of Mr Mazion. It is this attitude towards women that we are describing. I INSIST that Mr Mazion and I meet, and I will immediatly show him where he can stick that COLOSSAL MONUMENT! It should slide nicely. These acts towards women in the nation of Euphoni are intolerable. Mr Maizon, why don't you come here to Counterpoint? I will cook you some food, and THEN SHOVE IT DOWN YOUR POMPOUS, ARROGANT, THROAT! AND WATCH AS YOU SLOWLY DIE AND THEN LAUGH AT YOU!!! *She breath's and regains her composure*

Furthermore, we would like to thank the nation of Viert Reich for supporting us. It takes a REAL Man to stand up to aggressors.

To Empress Dawn and the nation of MOGG4, we have not attacked EITHER COUNTRY! LEARN HOW TO READ THE NEWS IN THE REGION! Sammyslvania has been the agressor, first firing cheese.... and then a bloody Sheep!!! Furthermore, I am not a feminazi, and more after that where do you get off saying that we shouldn't lead because we are women.... WHY ARE YOU IN CHARGE THEN? *Empress Jessica returns a gesture to Empress Dawn*

And one last message.... to an old friend... Empress Carolyn.... you shouldn't be afraid of Counterpoint, in-fact, we should be joining forces against the evils or this region........ *She chuckles and then looks back into the camera* That is all LETI....

*The TV flics back to the previous show*

ooc: Ground observers of course, I have forces in manarth, who's to say that some of my advisors wern't in there? Besides, as Much as well all like manarth, there is no way the they would be able to operate support or much less buy a flight or wing or whatever it was of the JSF's.. therefore it becomes pretty obvious....... I mean, it is kinda hard to overlook those when there is a substantial military precense.. don't you think that I would have an EC-767 in the area? Running sattelite recon, knowing what the hell is going on at all times in the country where I have my boys sent in? Troop deployments, where airfields are located, what is at those airbases? Anything less would just be stupid....

*The Samsylvannian Imperial Palace. General Murdock and Lt. General Hammond are in the Emperor's chambers...a darkened room...so dark that the Emperor is only a shadow to them.*

Emperor Conn: So what exactly is our status now, General?

GM: Not good, Highness. Counterpoint's defenses seem unbeatable. They always seem to be one step ahead of us...it's like they're in the same room and can hear every command. Cheese production is still down...we're following a few leads on who was responsible for that.

EC: I find this news most displeasing.

GM: Highness...there's more...

EC: Go on.

GM: We've lost contact with the 32nd Naval Task Force.

EC: Lost contact? How do you lose contact with two entire carrier groups?

GM: We're working on that, sir.
*suddenly a courier bursts into the room, apologizing profusely, and hands several papers to the General*

GM: Highness, it's the Task Force...wait a minute, this can't be right...it's says they've defected!

EC: How could this happen?

GM: It's from an enlisted man...Ensign Crusher...he's in hiding on board the Buffet and managed to patch into a radio. He says that they answered a distress call from a yacht, but when they brought the survivors on board...they started seducing the crew. Highness...it's the skanks!

EC: The Skanks? This is not a good sign. How did he manage to avoid temptation?

GM: I'm not sure...the transmission was badly garbled, but it would appear that the first skank onboard was his sister, and he realized what was going on. He hid out in the engine room...the one place the skanks would never go.

EC: How can we be sure of this?

GM: According to his file, he's Counterpointian. His father brought him here when he was a boy to flea the corrupt dictator there...leaving behind his mother and sisters. So it's certainly plausible.

EC: The plot thickens....LEAVE ME.
*the military men hastily depart*
EC: *to himself* So...she has returned. And it sounds as if her powers are increasing. This is a day I had hoped would never come. *rings intercom* Bring me Mist...

Ed was making an in character accusation towards your country, and rightly so. Nobody's telling you you can't do it, so stop taking everything so personally. It's no fun role playing if you can't make inuendos without being argued with about the historical precedent for this that and the other thing. I'm sure Japan said similar things when they found out they were fighting...no make that getting their butts kicked by American pilots. Chill man.

About ed's accusation, how did he even know it was my fighters that carried out the attack, there were no press releases. All the soldiers could have known was that

Actually at the time that the Flying Tigers started flying, the P40B Tomahawk was the top fighter of the Army Air Corps, and they received support through the british and americans. After the Port of Rangoon fell to the Japanese, Supply shipments slowed down, since american aircraft had to fly over the "Hump" of Himalaya mountains. The Flying tigers got a Full wing of aircraft. They kept most of them in the air as well. And back to the matter of my volunteers, they haven't received any support since the initial shipment of aircraft and munitions. They received enough for several months of operations and any further support comes from Manarth as they are a part of the Manarthian AF.

ooc: Ground observers of course, I have forces in manarth, who's to say that some of my advisors wern't in there? Besides, as Much as well all like manarth, there is no way the they would be able to operate support or much less buy a flight or wing or whatever it was of the JSF's.. therefore it becomes pretty obvious....... I mean, it is kinda hard to overlook those when there is a substantial military precense.. don't you think that I would have an EC-767 in the area? Running sattelite recon, knowing what the hell is going on at all times in the country where I have my boys sent in? Troop deployments, where airfields are located, what is at those airbases? Anything less would just be stupid....

OOC: ok, the wing came with its own support structure, its own mechanics, its own supplies and know how. That is all within the structure of a wing. Manarth has integrated this into their air force therefore gaining the know how on how to maintain the JSF, plus the JSF(Marine Version) is designed to be able to operate out of a small clearing, thats why the marines use them. Plus, you do not know the price or the exact details of the transaction. all you need to know is they have them, and they were purchased from me. Plus you never stated your forces patrolling the area, without stating the E-767 its kinda god modding, because any radar operator worth his salt would be able to detect it. As well as the massive Electronic Signature of such an aircraft.

OOC: ok quick history lesson here, my Volunteer pilots are no longer members of the CoC Military, they are in fact members of the Manarthian military (much like the Eagle squadron in britain, or the flying tigers in China in WWII)
I am roleplaying them as an independant unit.

OOC: Actually those situations were slightly different. RAF No.71 (Eagle) Squadron (and later two others) were formed when the RAF began running low on pilots. American pilots were allowed to resign their commissions and join (no equipment was involved). The Flying Tigers, although technically mercenaries, were approved of and supported by Roosevelt. Also, they were using obsolete equipment and never had more than a handful of flyable planes at any time, and certainly didn't have an entire fully equipped air wing with support at their disposal.

ooc: Ohhh and btw, thoese are the rebel forces, not Manrathian Regulars.... there-fore, how could a government in exile, support/maintain them? Just a question. Also, you never stated that these where the Marine Varient, also you never stated that they where given the support to go with it.....If I mistaken ohh please show me, I'd be quite intrested and I would greatly restate that so that nothing will be in error.... Also, I was using the E-767 as a for instance.... And can we all say together.... JUST A F*CKING GAME LIGHTEN UP! Take a sticky note and put it on your monitor as a constant reminder.

*The Leti News Symbol flashes on the TV and Ed Dubiel and Carolyn Baker are behind the Anchor Desk*

Ed: This is Ed Dubiel,
CB: And this Is Carolyn Baker,
Ed: We take you live to Edenstein where Admiral Ulonov is giving a press conference.

*The screen flashes to the press room in the Edenstein Palace where Admiral Ulonov Steps up to the podium*

AU: People of LETI, We are now stepping up patrols for assistance in the Manarthian Crisis, we are dispatching 4 E-767's from Edenstein to assist in the detection of threats.. We will have one in the air at all times.. one on patrol, one getting ready for patrol, and one flying to and one from patrol. These will be escorted by SU-47's to assist in protection from any threats that may arise.... Also we are sending AA defences to Manarth, to be positioned in the major cities to protect the civilians from any, "Marauding" Air Attacks..... The mix of these will be kept secret, so that they may be more adequetly adept at defending their stations. That is all, we are hoping for a speedy ending to this crisis.

::Meanwhile, in the territorial waters of Viert Reich, the Manarth Fleet, sans RMS Posiden, make their way back north toward Port Hrabe::

::Comodore Cook sits on the bridge of the RMS Prophet, readying his ships for the final push into Manarth territorial waters::

*In Santa Cruze on the Western Border of Edenstein, a group has formed around a man who is speaking out against the government, his name is Robert Jorgenson, a stoutly fellow with a midly texan accent, his side kick Gaylen Karriker, a midget is there holding a broom. They have worked the crowd up to a frenzy*

OOC: If any of you have seen Oh Brother Where art though, think of the KKK guy running for governor and his midget, you'll get the picture.

RJ: Now... I say, Emperor Ed has to much of a heavy hand on our country!!! I SAY!!! EMPEROR ED HAS TO MUCH CONTROL!!!!
*mumbles from the crowd*

RJ: We don't have a say on how our hard earned ruples are spent! He's sent our sons and daughters off to fight in a war that we have no buisness being in... and most importantly, instead of making allies in the region, more and more countries are starting to come out against us!!!

*Louder mumbles and agreement can be heard*

RJ: WHAT WE NEED IS A REVIVAL!!! WE NEED TO GO BACK TO WHAT EDENSTEIN USED TO BE! A DEMOCRACY!!!!!!! THIS EMPIRE STUFF HAS GONE ON LONG ENOUGH!!!!! WHAT RIGHT DO WE HAVE IMPOSING OUR WILL UPON OTHER NATIONS IN THE REGION????

*The midget Flips the broom over and makes sweeping motions with it*

RJ: As my little friend here has illustrated, we need to make a clean sweep of this regime!!!! *Midget smiles triumphantly* Now, there are reports that he has been seen with some godless harlet and they have been FORNICATING!!!!! IS THIS HOW YOU WANT YOUR GREAT NATION PROTAYED????? AS A BUNCH OF FORNICATORS?????? THEN I COMMAND YOU TO SPEAK OUT!!! RISE UP AGAINST.... shall I dare say it...... THE MAN!!!!!!

*The crowd gasps and covers their mouth's in shock at the very mention of "The Man", after the crowd grasps what he has just said, they start cheering and applauding wildly, Jorgenson picks up a broom and holds it over his head, Karriker does the same, the crowd starts singing Old time Religion as they disipate through the streets*

*Defense Minister Wallace addresses LETI*

Though we have not officially taken sides in the Manarthian Conflict, A group of pilots of ours have volunteered to fight under the Manarthian flag. And due to an accounting error instead of using AV-8B Harrier II's they instead have been Issued F-35 (marine VTOL Versions)(this is much like the Flying tigers of WWII). These aircrafts and pilots are no longer members of the Council of Clan Military. The Manarthian government in exile has worked out a payment plan for these aircraft. Along with the pilots the entire support structure needed for them have volunteered for the Manarthian government in Exile's Cause.




and if you refer to page 19 of this thread you will see that i specified they were marine versions from the begining

:::We see the Spinkoslovakia National Journal newspaper's International desk deputy editor writing his weekly comlumn:::

::typing away:: "I honestly don't know what to feel anymore. I'm fully in support of Lord Simshauser, as he has started working so closely with Buffy and Cato over in Caraianada. What a great thing it is that we have created an alliance with Carianada and ME_262 to fully support Euphoni. Also, how Spinkoslovakia is also supporting Edenstein. It's so nice to know we have some positive relations in this region.
It saddens me, however --and I believe this has been a national sentiment-- that CoC insists that the LETI region is full of bickering school girls and whining brats. Not only are those unfounded claims, but also, He leaves the region TWICE, and still cannot completely leave. Why would one want to continue to associate with those that he insults, and has to feel bigger and better than? Doesn't it make sense that if you leave the region because you can't stand the people, that you sever ALL ties to the region? Meaning, you leave, so you stay completely gone. No contact, no nothing?
Well, that is all I wish to address this week. Keep reading the Spinkoslovakia National Journal. Baseball playoffs are coming up.

::Lord Protector Evans is putting his baseball hat away, after the Manarth Morning Doves fail to make the playoffs. Lt. Gen Lincoln is still wearing his throwback jersey::

Lincoln: Come on now, sir. We can't win everything. Besides, we might not have the best baseball team, but our football team is second to none.

Evans: But I don't like football. Oh well. At least I can still root for Edenstein and Crippleslovenia. Everyone knows that the East is the toughest division to be in, I just hope they can prove it.

Lincoln: Anyway sir, what are you doing about the rebel's air cover? I understand that we havn't won an air engegement yet.

Evans: I wouldn't worry about that. It's the army that holds the land. The airforce is nothing more than a glorified tool to help, besides we still outnumber them with our weekest division. It's only a matter of time.

::He puts on an Edenstein baseball cap and sits down infront of the satelite TV::

Evans: Besides, once we win in Lake Clarke City, no one will have the guts to oppose us. Vandershale will be captured, and this will all be over.

Lincoln: And Goldstone? And Brock?

Evans: Goldstone is in the custody of Edenstein, they'll turn him over soon, no way he could have left their embassy. And Brock, ::Laughs:: Brock isn't a military man, and never will be. No Lincoln, it's Col. McMillan and Commodore Cook we need to worry about, and they'll surrender soon enough.

Lincoln: ::Sitting down to watch the Carianada/Edenstein game:: I hope you're right sir.

Evans: You hope? You're treading on thin ice, Lincoln. I could have you replaced any time.

Lincoln: Yes sir.

*A Dark figure rolls up to the oak desk in the Imperial Office readying for a televised announcement*


Ladies, gentlemen and cripples of Crippleslovenia, rumors of my death have been greatly exaggarated.

*The dark figure rolls up to the light and reveals his identity as Emperor R. Thro Gryposis*

The man that was killed was actually a body double who had become a Council of Clan sympathizer. He had to be eliminated. Now that I am officially back in power, I will soon be making a series of decisions that will take our great nation in a new direction.

Thank you and may the Grand Wheelchair shine upon you all.

::HO Channel 2 News begins. Tom and Diane are sitting behind the desk for the first time in about a week. The news music begins::

Tom: Good evening. I'm Tom Tucker!

Diane: And I'm Diane Simmons and you're watching HO Channel 2 News! Our top story tonight: His Henceness Corran and Admiral Sigurd have returned from Manarth via Edenstein air transports. He plans to address the nation later today!

Tom: That's right Diane! And it couldn't've come as a bigger surprise to the nation!

Diane: Yes indeed Tom. Considering transports out of Manarth were closed down, we were as surprised as we were to find out that Tom was secretly harboring a love lust for Edenstein's own Rumpsfeel! ::Tom's eyes grow to the size of saucers::

Val: Dear God, they've started again... And just after they got let out of prison. I need to quit this job...

Tom: We'll uh, be back after these messages. ::breaks to commercial::

MZ: “PFFSSSSS!!!” :: MZ sprays the current mouthful of coffee all over the room::: WHAT?!?!?!?!?

MZ: READ!

:: MZ storm off into the intercom located on the far wall::

MZ: “Yes, this is Holy Emperor Zart, I need to speak to Johnny Cash at once!”

:: At the instant MZ takes his finger off of the ‘talk’ button of the intercom, JC knocks on the door::

JC: Sir, you called?
