Fun, hm. Sure... There's a few transports filled with around 100,000 Litchens (2 million really is over-kill) sitting in Sol, under control of Brazil. The Litchens in the transports are the ones most rowdy about the 1 child policy, so this benefits both of us. That is very good. :) Wasn't Europa the moon you tried to crash into Earth? Lol. Also, laster shifting sounds very game breaking. Instant teleportation? Secretly revealing troops? You could just build it on one of your planets and televise it to the world. I doubt Sere would allow the channel in his empire but the Federation would gladly put it in primetime. :D

Lol, I'm not clearing land on my planets for what seems like a gigantic strange-matter bomb.

Why would you want to build it off the coast of Japan, when that's not even your territory anymore? :s

No.

Your research facility?

I agree. I think kicking me out was definately unfair...two wrongs made a right. Sides, I am the moderator so I am allowed because I won't abuse it(much). Technically you weren't really kicked out. - Pylons for Project SW continue being placed around Federation space Project SS, Gestapo, Kriegsmarine continue. Working on re-tuning the planetary shield on Midgard, as well as building one on New Russia and Emazotran I. Federation battleships will now have a mix of conventional and energy powered weapons (I stated this a while back but forgot to give an update).

It'll probably be Doom. Hedge your bets! 2:1 odds on Rocco everyone! I bet 1 ton of my recently acquired Kelp!

Well I'm the one who knows about it, which is the chance of a major plague striking Japan (and by extension Earth I suppose) due to the crazy over-population of the Litch on Earth. Further incentives for Litch citizens to join the military have been put forth, with a major incentives to Litch looking to serve on one of the Federation's many aquatic worlds. TFed has also initiated a new Litch Farming Policy which states that any Litch citizen wishing to start up a farm off-world will have all tools and equipment paid for by the government, as well as a decent sum of funds alloted for building a home and buying seeds. Many Litch are taking up the offers, and a constant string of government-owned and private transports are moving from Earth to other Federation planets, and back again. Around 100,000 Litch have also been sent to Mars, to live in the ocean waters that the Federation's Mars colony rests beside.

I still don't understand how you have a 63 trillion dollar expendable income.

Can't sell any of mine, I'm stockpiling it for one of my projects. Also, construction begins on TFS Heimdall which when done will take the position of Alpha Fleet's flagship, and Ragnarok will be retired to Beta fleet's flagship.

I'll keep 'em nice and clean for your return :P

Terran Federation Military Structure Goes elite -> meh/not technically military [hide=Praetorian Guard]. This small group of soldiers are hand-picked at birth for their genetic traits, and trained mercilessly throughout their life in the arts of war. They are one of the most deadly forces in the entire universe, and are tasked with guarding the top levels of the Federation's political and military structure. They are rarely used in battle, due to their small numbers, but when they are they can easily turn the tide. [/hide] [hide= Federation Marines]These troops are the hammer of the Federation’s military forces. No mission is too hard for them, and they are normally used to force the holes in enemy lines and board enemy spacecraft. [hide=Federation Orbital Stormtroopers]These are an subdivision of the marines. They are extremely heavily armoured troops that are used to break through planetary defenses and force a hole in enemy controlled lands that other forces can then expand. [/hide][/hide] [hide=Federation Guard] These are the all-round balanced troops of the Federation military, supported by Scorpion artillery-tanks and MAASs (Mobile Anti-Air Systems). They are the anvil to the marine’s hammer. Equipped with numerous bio-enhancements and middle level infantry armour, they can take a fair amount of punishment, as well as dishing it out. [hide=Ghost Division]Ghost Division is a subdivision of the Federation Guard. They are an elite panzer division that is usually tasked with breaking through and encircling enemy forces, or taking control of strategic terrain or positions. [/hide] [hide=Panzer Grenadiers]Panzer Grenadiers are ground assault troops that are used for attacking fortified positions. They carry full complements of plasma, thermal, and fragmentation grenades for clearing out defenders. [/hide][/hide] [hide=Federation Light Infantry]These are highly mobile, lightly equipped troops that wear integrated-nanosuit bodyarmour, in addition to having jetpacks. They are one of the most fast attacking and mobile infantry units in history, though their training regimen means that their numbers are quite few. [/hide] [hide=Steel Legion] The Steel Legion is made up of convicted criminals from all across Federation land. Men and women who were set to be executed for crimes, but took the offer of 10 years service in the Steel Legion in exchange for their freedom. The Steel Legion is special in that, if a unit within it retreats from battle without being ordered to do so, every member of that unit automatically has another 10 years service tacked onto their term. The Steel Legion is used in the most dangerous battles and missions, meaning that their casualties are extremely high; so it's actually less dangerous for the unit to stay and fight whatever the odds, rather then retreat. [/hide] [hide=Infiltrators]These are hand picked for their stealth and expertise. They're used to disrupt supply lines and communications of enemy armies, as well as perform assassination and subterfuge missions. [/hide] [hide=Federation Militia] All able bodied members of the Federation are required to do a mandatory 8 month military training program every 20 years, and can be called upon to defend their homeland in the event of an attack. These troops are essentially civilian militia troops, so they are poorly equipped and don't have access to the same quality equipment that the career military troops do, but they will fight with complete devotion and suicidal bravery, as they are fighting for their homes and communities. [/hide] [hide=Federation National Police]These are the national police forces tasked with maintaining order and stability in Federation lands. [/hide] [hide=Federation Warrs]Warrs are a slow-reproducing semi-intelligent race that was discovered on the planet Vanaheim during the early colonial years. According to the Federation, they were included within their military, but have never been used in any battles the Federation has fought before.

Lol!

I'm pretty sure they'll be both grateful to the empire that saved them from extermination, and understand the necessity of the move. Totalitarian measures can be taken against anyone who disobeys the law though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alignment_(Dungeons_&_Dragons)#Lawful_Neutral Wee D&D I know, I just copied the whole thing.

The athletes would have children, their children would have children, and those children would have children before the race was completed. Either way, by the second set of children they would've forgotten where they were going, settled down and built a small farm town which would gradually flourish into a kelp-growing superpower. Pwaw I actually lol'd at that. -- TFed has enacted 3 policies to deal with the overpopulation on Japan. 1. 1 Child Policy, will cut down growth rate to -50% (or so) 2. Offering incentives to Litch citizens that are willing to move to a different Federation planet. 3. Conducting research into genetically modifying Litch so that they can safely eat and process "human food", which should reduce the stress on the ecosystem and the massive farmspace needed in the ocean. Clinics are also being set up, and the military and ministry of health are keeping close watch on Japan in case they need to quarantine an area quickly to stop the spread of the plague or any other type of disease associated with over-population. Other news: Pylons relating to Project SW still being placed all over Federation controlled space. Project SS starts Project Gestapo starts Project Kriegsmarine starts -- Also, this is for my reference (since 345 is an easy page number to remember):

Lovely lovely technology. How did the Brits win so many events though?

I HAVE STARGATE TECH IT IS THE BESTEST

At the cost of a country-sized burn radius.

Fine 50 billion, but the Federation has enacted a 1 child policy (1 egg policy? 1 spawn policy?) to cut down on the gigantic population and unmanageable growth rate. The citizens are a bit iffy about this new change, but they realize that it is for the best, as starvation within a few years of that kind of continual growth is a very real possibility. Litch in the Federation will also be required to do the mandatory 8 month military training programme. Grim, I guess Arch can decide who hosts it next, or we can vote on it. If we vote, my vote goes to Brazil.

He really is. Vaguely. If he had done it I would've declared war on him, but nothing came of it. This situation was a bit different, in that you were threatening to virus bomb not just one of my planets, but one of my stronghold planets (Earth, Midgard, New Russia).

Yes it's quite annoying. And you started with the virus bombs, keep in mind. No clue where Trol went, but I believe I took his lands way back, the map was never updated on the front page though. Regardless, Kazakh is part of TFed now. +His lands were in anarchy considering they haven't had a leader for 60 years now, didn't put up much of a fight.

As long as the transports are completely unarmed, yes. They'll be thoroughly searched by Federation officials to make sure none of the transports have the virus on board. If they do, the transports will be fired upon. I hate to be so hostile but I've been virus bombed before, and anything threatening to use a virus to bomb an entire planet is near the top of the list of things I hate that people do in this game. And you can keep your embassy on Japan, aye.

Your entire population is farmers?

Damnit I'm always doing that at the most inopportune moments.

You can't make a chemical that multiplys stuff. You can't travel faster then light. You can't produce an energy source small enough to power a 'gigantic arc laser thing' that has the ability to burn things and be placed on a medium sized ship. You can't do a lot of things. I belive that it is much more possible that he makes kelp from the sea then the stuff you do. Now just think how big the sea is and think about how big the population is. Its possible. No, it really isn't possible. If he was growing that much food, then 50% of his total income would go to maintaining the farms, and the other 50% to maintaining such a large population (infrastructure, daycares, jobs, hospitals, schools, etc). If that's the case, then his military is armed with whatever they found in Japan, meaning 40 year old technology, and definitely not enough of it for 50 billion people. I don't quite think Retech (and you too Hex) really understand just how many people 50 billion is, and how much food they would require. You eat around 500 pounds of food per year (1 person!). 500 pounds x 50b = 25,000,000,000,000 pounds = 11,339,809,250 tonnes of food per year needing to be transported, packaged, sold, prepared and eaten. Here is the food production for the world right now (roughly): http://www.historylink101.com/lessons/farm-city/per_capita.htm Even with farming on the ocean floor, there's no where near enough food to support both your 50 billion population, as well as mine, Doom's, Grim's, Paul's, and Rpg's population which is around 20 billion right now. This is all disregarding the fact that Japan doesn't even have enough land or coastal waters to support that gigantic of a population.
