Well then, I guess you'll get to see the game's war mechanic in action. I think it's been named the Whine Master 3000.

Neutral 2. Not aligned with or supporting any side or position in a controversy. Sere was and, as far as I am aware, is not my ally and being that we have only communicated in this public forum I could not say with any certainty that he is 'my friend'. What I did was what was dictated by the logical progression of ideas added to a little bit of imagination on my part. I also provided numerous options and tried to make the hand over of power more realistic. Yes it is true that the Greater Russian Area has most of the Population, but anyone reading my posts will have seen that, had they chosen to start a civil uprising, then they could have and probably carved out most of Western Russia. And that was in your court because you are/were the main ally to the Russian people. Can I just clarify the point is this a role play or is it survival of the most active member? It just seems that any attempt at roleplay is immediately countenanced by someone leaving or me being told that the idea is impossible because it is a super weapon which is cannot be defended against... Sorry to hear that, but I had no knowledge of that. I just reacted in an unbiased manner to improve the roleplaying experience, for me as well as, hopefully, everyone else. You can quote me the D&D alignment chart all you want, but that doesn't prove that what you were doing was actually neutral. You somehow gained control of Russia, and then handed it over to Britannia (which makes no sense whatsoever). Then you say you're trying to "balance power" or some other such garbage. Britannia already has control over 3 different empires, as well as being the leader of an alliance made up of every active player excluding me and Doom, and you wanted to give him another empire in the 'balance of power'? Ha! Also kinda funny how you ignored the #1 definition for that link: "not taking part or giving assistance in a dispute or war between others"

Isn't this sort of like 'out of the frying pan and into the fire'?

Sorry, should I have plastered flags all across the entire map? How am I 'disregarding truth'? Those countries weren't under my control, so I have no say it what they do. Look, just because I gave my land to someone who wasn't your ally or friend, or whatever, doesn't mean you should be pissed off. I gave my land to someone who has been reasonable and (most importantly) has never attacked me. No, I didn't blow anything out of proportion. And I left because it was essentially me vs everyone in the thread, considering all my allies stopped playing. I was also tired of getting [bleep]ed at for every little thing I did.

[hide=Earth Map][/hide] Bow to your God Babylon!

No, Doom does.

Britannia has no legitimate claim to Russia, other than "because I want it". Um, no. [hide][/hide]

Of course you would say that, considering it shows that you have control of Russia, Bangladesh, and Ethiopia - all Norweigan lands. Wtf. How is it that a neutral country should automatically go to Sere? Yeah, you're real neutral. Yep, I have Brunei. I also have Singapore, but that's probably too small to get its own little area. And yea, it looks good. What's with Cyprus and those islands off the coast of the Arabian peninsula though? Those islands and a small tip of Somalia (and I do mean small) belong to Kazakhia. Once again, quit trying to grab territory that isn't yours, Cyprus was Federation land. -- Indy has said he's not really active enough to have control, so the Federation goes to Doom. All of it.

I give up, this game is pointless to play. Hopefully the Kingdom thread will be better, and we won't have some super-mega whiny alliance that can't see reason at all. To prevent the inevitable grab for my lands that Sere will put forth, every single part of the Federation (including Russia) will go to Indy.

No, that was never said. Troops were moved from the Asian continent, not from Britain. Right, so he thought he could take over Russia with a handful of troops? Hm, I doubt that. Either way, it seems that Sere didn't expect an attack of Britain at all, so I have a huge advantage there, whenever he gets around to acknowledging that I did in fact invade him. Also, Retech, why is it that your only posts on Tipit are on this thread? No offense and all, but that's a little suspect.

No, it went fine. The problem is just that everyone seems to have unlimited money, food, soldiers, whatever to throw around. Well, that's the way we've been doing things. They'll be mopped up soon enough. Who is this magical Field Marshall that can decide the fate of an entire country, and who for some reason owes his allegiance to a bunch of pacifists despite being a military general??? + The Britannian Empire doesn't really have all that much to offer. It's military might is a lot smaller than the Federation's, it just has more allies. And, the citizens and soldiers wouldn't get access to the plethora of genetic and biological enhancements that the Federation has, so, idk, it's a pretty even race for the two, even without factoring in the geographical, cultural, and political factors, which all lean heavily towards me. Sorry, should I have stuck in the box? Didn't realize we were in the habit of penalizing people for doing stuff we hadn't thought of before.

No, it was so Sere (as is easily to predict what he would do) would move his troops away from Britain into Russia (which he did), leaving it open to attack. Ha! That's exactly what has happened nearly every single time someone quits. But now that it's me getting the land, oh dear, we must stop evil Dusty! 'The army, which already had a chain of command in place that traced back to the Terran Federation, stayed together since it's officers knew who to report to for orders, and the chain of command remained unbroken, even through the disarray that inevitably followed the transfer of power.' And there was war and bloodshed. Yadayadayada. That sentence doesn't even make sense. I still don't understand how you think a bunch of pacifists could manage to gain control of one of the most militaristic militarys in the world.

It wasn't under your control Walka said definatively: Thus me taking control of a section of it was made possible by having a popular support basis, which I am allowed to do under Changes 3rd of November (which no one objected to), which led to legitimacy in the civilian world because they appealed to the patriotic cause which lead to the army being swept into its being, which then followed as a military coup detat, and thus allowed Sere to take control of that whole thing by an Oath of Fealty. Any questions? Still you attacked another power. Shouting matches aside...I think that fighting a war needs to be done by a set of rules which we all agree to...So Armour/Speed(to Dodge) stats and Weapon Stats and so on and so forth. I shall work on a system if no one has a problem with that, since I have no vested interest except a smoothish transition of power and a stable balance of power afterwards. Like I said, Walka seems to have forgotten that he gave me control of the Russian military before all of this, so it's really a moot point you're bringing up. Also, how exactly did you gain control of all of Russia (including the support of all its people) and then somehow convince the Russian citizens to swear the oath of fealty to an enemy country. Doesn't really make sense to me, don't you agree? Russia is under my control. This isn't really debatable. There's no point that anyone can really bring up that would make any sense for why Russia would join anyone but the Terran Federation, their closest ally, trade partner, culture, etc.

The Russian Army was under my control, so I'm not exactly sure how you managed to gain control of it... And, 'I attacked a power which had been invited in'? What does that mean? Me attacking Britain? We were already at war. I think you're the one turning it into a screaming match. And, talking about "win buttons", let's talk about these impenetrable armoured steel encased drop pods that are apparently invulnerable to nuclear interceptor missiles. If that's not a win button idk what is. And I have a fleet over Earth, as well as a couple of battlestations, fighter squads, and the Earth to Space fighters that I can launch, so...

Yup, that seems likely...Everyone on a planet has one ideal... COME ON! Be realistic about this, 1.5 million people revolting against being killed(potentially) is not an unrealistic thing to happen. Further Russia and Terra may have been allies for a long time but Terra only shares one boarder with Russia, so everywhere else would be subject to some kind of take over. Further Walka said the military was paralyzed so they were. Field Marshall Demeter just looked for personal power and by allying himself with Britannia he gained that power, much more than he would have gained if he allied with Terra. Though he then died... But that is beside the point. Who is you guys? The Anti-War league looks for stability without global war erupting...As your actions show you do not want that, so in hindsight the Anti-War League got a good deal, even if they didn't personally choose that path. Anyway, Greater Russian armies are mobilized against the Russian armies and civil war breaks out, Greater Russian forces are numerically superior in Greater Russia but outside of the mapped area are virtually none existent. The population has not been mobilized for fear that they would join the Terran Federation. Thus Greater Russia controls around 12 Million troops(On today's scale so what that is in game terms I don't know... but its a lot, about 9% of the population), focused mainly in the heartland and on the Terra Boarder. The Anti-War League(Under the name 'Russian Unity Party' rises to have popular support in parts of the Heart land of Russia as well as some control outside of the heartland. The Russian Unity party refuses to get involved until after a winner has been decided. Siberia revolts against Greater Russia and aligns itself(in general terms) with the Terran Federation. Valdivostok however remains in Greater Russian hands and has mobilized troops north to protect the boarder. Since the situation is currently defensive Greater Russia makes no moves to expand its territory but instead digs in on the lines established on the map. Um. I'm pretty sure you can't just pull an army of 30 million out of thin air. And Arch, don't try and tell me I'm the bad guy here unless you've read through both the original hegemony and this one thoroughly. Maybe you'll see a different picture then. ... I'm invading a landmass right beside my borders, with some of the best trained and equipped troops in the world, and its an area that has never had any mention of defenses being built there. I'm pretty sure I'd take it, considering it was a surprise attack and all. Also, Ross. Those drones will just be shot down.

Link to post? Barbarians, lol. Btw, we're already at war y'know. And since when are you the "Holy" Empire? Haha.

I'm pretty sure the Russian planet, land, space stations, and everything else would join the Terran Federation. Also, Walka's post seems to have forgotten that I had control over the Russian military, so no, it wasn't paralyzed. You guys just staged a ground invasion of the largest country that had a millions strong army. Have fun with getting trounced. Anywho, while all you idiots sent your troops to go attack Russia, The Terran Federation has staged a massive amphibious assault on Britain, the homeland of Britannia. Around 4 million veteran troops equipped with the latest Federation military technology have taken the beachheads along southern Britain, and reinforcements are pouring in there (I assume I took the beach-heads since Sere never even talked once about defending them). The Troops in Africa have also prepared their defenses. And I'm actually a bit amazed you guys would think that Russia would join you, considering, as Doom pointed out, Walka and I have been allies for like 100 years.

Why are they heading towards my system (Yggdrasil)?

I have a hard time saying yes, actually.

Rome has started conquering barbarians, because barbarians suck. Roma Victor!

So if I had gotten Burma and Cambodia (which are still in play btw?) you would have no problem with it? Okay.. Anyways, Iceland has returned to the Terran Federation.

[bleep] off with the alliances.

I'd go back and film a bunch of famous battles that we know really nothing about (like Ethandun).

I'm pretty sure the Terran Federation should get Iceland and whatnot, considering, y'know it was mine afterall.

Rome has opened up trade with the Phoenicians.
