Nero

See now you're going to get everyone mad at me (madder than they already are I suppose :D). But, hey. You can be like the Androsynth.

No I didn't mean bugger off, I just meant that I'm a bit peeved about it.

Obviously I have. I am not an expert by any means. However if three or more people disagree with me, and no one agrees, then I will usually back down. For the most part I am unpleasantly surprised by the lack of response, like me saying I will build a million point space station and no one disagrees for two weeks and then they think that I might have invested some time in it so try to torch it. For the most part it is ignored until I assert my right to use it. I mean I could just invent a spreadsheet on a secret project.... Say I started a secret project tomorrow and two months time there was some crisis, but don't worry this was the crisis that my secret project was designed to deal with. And don't worry I have 9 more secret projects designed to deal with every issue there ever will be. The point is not whether I can run a good empire it is whether I can distinguish between me as a player and what I can get away with, and me as a moderator enforcing the rules and acting reasonably given my lack of information because people refuse to give it to me. So it boils down to do you want a War Judge or are you happy to scream it out amongst yourselves? And if you want a war judge then you need to furnish him/her with all the data that you think is necessary and accept that if you leave stuff out they will fill in the gaps based on random number generators. Or you need to tell me how I am supposed to fill in the gaps because, Dusty, what you basically don't get is that I am a moderator here to help you play your game because I was asked to help you play your game. If you are going to make my job harder by not telling me anything then I am not going to scurry around begging for scraps of information so you can power trip on denying the 'hired help' of all the tools they require, I will random number generate the results and you can deal with the fallout. Given the flexibility of the system, given the fact that I am willing to sacrifice hours of my life to make your life slightly more enjoyable(and if not yours then at least some of the people here), I don't think me asking you for your fleet size, which you should already have...so basically I am asking you to spent a minute copying and pasting some figures over....is extensively complicated. And if you have a problem with that then tell me and help me resolve that problems.... You know what I feel like, I feel like a guy who is being told that he is being sued for ordaining to ask someone if they want help carrying their shopping. That I am being put up on trial for asking people if there is anything I can do for them....That I am generally being punished for being exploited. By all means treat me the same as everyone else, argue with me, but don't try to make my life more difficult. I told you the size of my fleet, then you proceeded to say that since you hadn't "confirmed" it, it doesn't actually exist. Then you went into a big ol' sarcasm sharade saying that you created 50m ships. I think the main problem I have is that you're the moderator for the game - the person who decides the outcome of battles and the progression of the game, and you're a player. I've PM'd Doom the details on it so that she could update the front page at least half a dozen times in the past 4 or so months. I thought it was only me, Sere, Ross, and Grim that had nukes?

I'll allow the 2 regions start since you came in late but armies take 5 years to train no exceptions. There would be no defenses though (as per the setup of the game). You're don't have a region that borders on the sea, so building a harbour in the middle of the desert isn't really possible :P [hide=Regional Map T3][/hide]

You can quote Yes, Prime Minister all you want but it doesn't really change the fact that some of the stuff you've done has been ridiculous.

Everyone? Ha, like that'll ever happen. I'm not war judge, correct. I'm not Doom, correct. I don't need permission to keep track of the game though, that's what everyone does. I know you'd much rather that we were a bunch of slobbering idiots that went along with everything you say and do, but no thanks. Some of the stuff you have done and are doing is completely [bleep]ed up.

Ah yes, like million-point space stations and the like? I whole-heartedly agree. Actually, since I never confirmed that space station was there, it doesn't actually exist. Hm. -- Working on modifications to my bomb.

What? You don't think the size of my fleet is reasonable? Ha. Fine, if you want to dance this stupid little argument dance, 100m Federation ships have turned up at Adrigas, all with full crews.

Doesn't really matter if something doesn't "officially" exist (since when is your word official anyways?), it exists.

Um. No. -- And Sere how the hell do you "cloak" a system?

If their fleet is as large as you say it is Arch, then there's no way we can hold this giant solar-system spanning defensive line, since we don't have the ships for that.

ZOMBIES?! [bleep] it I'm going on the roof and getting drunk. Then, we they come up, I build a enclosure from the door to the roof, that leads to the edge of the building. Then we they come out I yell "THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAAAA" and kick them off. I'll set a timer to see how long I survive, and count how many zombies I kick to their (un)death.

My fleet is pulling back, but transports have been sent to evac all but the most die-hard colonists from the Federation's planets in the Sinabo system. Until someone gets rolling an alliance to deal with the alien invaders I won't throw my hat into this conflict, as I'd just be wasting ships. So, PM me when everyone is on the same page about dealing with this threat. Production on new ships continues.

Need a harbour first.

3 Super Battleships 40 Heavy Battleships 80 Battleships 120 Carriers (which have had ion cannons added to them so they pack more of an offensive punch) 12,000 Fighters Maybe more, idk, I just made that up weeee. -- The colonies on Sinabo have converted their factories to churn out E2S fighters at alarming numbers, to help assist the Federation fleet when it arrives. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2G6auIFn5yc&feature=PlayList&p=1CD04928E73E3009&index=10 Actually I think the battle should be fought to this tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bQ-SpgzmWc&feature=PlayList&p=1CD04928E73E3009&index=20 :P Slay the dragon would be cool too... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1xOeH3W-14&feature=PlayList&p=1CD04928E73E3009&index=46 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLx7JvYsUWY&feature=PlayList&p=1CD04928E73E3009&index=86 [bleep] it I can't decide.

That would be Dirithanium plating :D Also, TFed's combat fleet is heading to Sinabo.

They replenish after a year of the army sitting still. The 3 main tribes in the region continued their expansions this year, swiping aside the pathetic rabble of tribesmen that stood against them. Using comprehensive battle plans they easily overcame the enemies' defenses and took control of valuable regions. Btw, since you all have 3 regions now, I'd get on building those 2 new armies.

Lol no

Silly marshmen are going to get slaughtered.

As long as you don't tamper with the devices sure.

I was producing hardly any ships before. They're running at 150% normal rate atm. Transport ships have been dispatched to the Alpha Centauri system, and are placed under the command of Brazil for the time being. 20 Carrier ships have also been sent, as they can be used as transports as well. TFed has found veins of Tantalum and Hypernum on Vanaheim, mining has started on them. -Building of 10 large shipyards has started in the Holmgard system, they should be done in 20-30 years.

Huh? You only get 150kg per year (200 from the planet, 50 go to me each year). Sounds good. -- Anyways, the rare material is all being used in the Federation's ships. Ship Production has been kicked into overdrive, and production rates for ships have quadrupled, due to the citizens of the Federation now knowing about the imminent invasion. All Federation ships are assembling near Sol. -- Project SW coming along. Project SM started.

If you want a specific name for your tribe just let me know. I think I forgot to mention that the other regions are inhabited by small tribes, so the first round is kinda a grace round, so there are no bad consequences (regardless of what's written below). The Desert tribe of NAME UNDEFINED (lol) went on the warpath into Bedouin lands. The rebels put up a valiant defense, with their cavalry smashing into the (tribe name)'s lines, and their archers raining down death, but they were overwhelmed by the superior numbers and training of Rpg's tribe. King Matlotali was killed in the battle, and the people of his land have sworn vassalge to (tibe name). The victory was not without loss, though, as nearly 15,000 soldiers perished it the heated battle, due to poor planning and army composition (100% swordsmen? I took the swordsmen army, since you can only have one, and the army of all archers would've been slaughtered by a 10,000 strong mixed force). In the Far East, the tribes of Rocco used their superior numbers with brilliant ease, wrapping around the battle line of the rebels and smashing into their flanks with concentrated cavalry charges, while spearmen pinned the middle in place. The small hill tribes in the area had no chance. They have all sworn vassalge to the tribe of Rocco. In the North, the men of Pie advanced into the hilly lands south of their regional borders, using the old Roman tecnique of layered battle formations, with men to take the place of their tired comrades during breaks in the battle. The hill tribes in the North could not stand against such a professional force, and their line broke and scattered, receiving arrows in the back for their cowardice.

Project SW still coming along.

You guys already start with 1 army remember! So, you gotta conquer another province to support another one.
