Message to Arilias, Guildmaster of the IMG:

I have been left no choice. The Outcasts are criminals through and through. They have done nothing to deserve mercy or pity. They seek only to destoy the lives we have built for ourselves out of jealousy. Attempting to reason with them is ultimately a futile exercise. The Kingdom of Bretonia understands that this war may be the last we ever fight. Perhaps our sacrifice will cause Sirius to wake up and realize what folly it is to negotiate with terrorists and pirates. Should you change your position and cease all relations with Outcasts, Corsairs and other criminal groups we will not harm you. If you insist and continue to deal with terrorists we will act. Please reconsider your actions. It is still not too late.


Edit: I assumed that since Jacob returned yesterday was a viable turn. Since I didn't get a chance to post anything I just rolled over all of my income.

Edit 2: @ Outcast's post below - It's all about balance. The problem with pure writing (as was seen with the original CYOF RPG) is that people can go way overboard. Numbers help keep thing well within the bounds of the game's reality, even if they are a bit on the pedestrian side.

yes, but it takes me about 20 mins to get the calc in order, type all the stats in ever turn....

i respect your opinion, but i just dont like it this way. to me RPGs are about writing. that was what i ahd in mind when i started this. (u might say DSQrn started this, but he started it a day after i posted my very similar idea)

Turn 10

This turn I will:

A. Name my new system Okinawa and declare its location to be in the (relative) southeast corner of Kusari connecting to Shikoku, Sigma 13, and Honshu, place 1 large base in the Okinawa system, and place 1 large transport and 6 LF wings in the New Tokyo system.

B. I will purchase 1 large base and 1 destroyer.

C. I will buy 5 Metals from the Zoners for 5 credits.

D.To Bretonia:

Please do not make a decision we will all regret. You would anhilate the Corsairs and all who have contact with them on the assumption that they cannot change. I propose you give them time to prove themselves. I believe that if they have truly changed they will have no qualms about fighting their former criminal allies. My proposal is this: allow them to send a force, small enough not to be a threat, but large enough to contribute, to assist me in the destruction of the Molly base. If they are sincere you can judge them by their actions there. Bretonia has long been the voice of reason and peace. Don't destroy that over an unproven assumption.

We would also be willing to allow the Corsairs to become part of the Kusari Empire if they so desired. They would have to abide by our laws and give up piracy, but if they become citizens they will have no need of piracy since they will be able to obtain by legitimate means what they once had to steal.

E. I move 140 LF, 80 HF, 3 Gunboats, and 5 battleships to the Kyushu system. I will move my remaining ships ( 40 LF, 18 HF, 2 frieghters, 1 transport, and 2 large transports) to the New Tokyo system.

************************************************************************************************

At the end of this turn I will have:

0 credits, 315 food, 258 H-Fuel, 3 Metals, 2 Oxygen, 371 Water.

13 bases: 8 large and 5 small (New Tokyo 1, Honshu 3, Kyushu 2, Shikoku 3, Hokkaido 3).

1 fighter shipyard and 1 cap. shipyard (both in New Tokyo).

4 planets (Planet New Tokyo, Planet Honshu, Planet Kyushu, Planet Okinawa).

180 LF, 98 HF, 3 gunboats, 5 battleships, 2 freighters, 1 transport, 2 large transport.

BHG Turn 9

Message to Rhineland:

what is this about you allowing the sale of drugs illegal in the rest of sirus and fought against by us? Consider any and all aid by us or contracted out by us to never occur.

(Just a little something to spice this thing up.)

Credits:

240+55=295- 50= 245

resources:

20 O/ 32 H-F/ 31 F/ 107 H2O/ 18 M
+7 O/ 6 H-F/ 7 F/ 14 H2O/ 11 M

-10 O/ 2 H-F/ 10 F/ 3 H2O/ 20 M
----------------------------------------
17 O/ 36 H-F/ 28 F/ 118 H2O/ 9 M

Moving all fighters out of rhineland space and shutting down bern station. (Do I get a resource return of any type?) All fighters moving to new system, (Will check to see what I named it later) connected to kepler (So yuo know where it is.) Deshima squadrons already there, Sheffeild squadrons in california bern squads in hamburg.

Building a light station there. To be named "Justice Station".

ok here is the undoing of building the capital ships starting from the credits- 166
commodities- 39(F)/ 68(W)/ 15(M)/ 48(O)/ 20(H-F) that I had last turn from building them previous turns:
Battleship- 150 credits/25 Metals/30 HF/10 O/7 F
Destroyer- 100 credits/15 Metals/20 HF/7 O/4 F
Destroyer- 100 credits/15 Metals/20 HF/7 O/4 F
Gunboat- 50 credits/14 Metals/10 HF/6 O/2 F
Gunboat- 50 credits/14 Metals/10 HF/6 O/2 F
4 turns of income-50 credits
28(F)/ 32(W)/ 15(M)/ 17(O)/ 20(H-F)
200 credits from selling 50 food and water last turn

that should come to:
credits- 1016
commodities- 130(F)/ 146(W)/ 158(M)/ 154(O)/ 190(H-F)

sorry for the trouble. I misinturperated the rules.

Turn 9:

Money now: 120 credits
Commodities now: 27 water and oxygen
bases:
Hudson:
Pacifia (small)
unnamed station next to pacifia ( small)

( I will make changes later)

Post Fri Nov 12, 2004 4:56 pm

Richardson, just saying, as a faction leader you wouldn't, and besides can't afford to, piss people off like that!!! Stay in character, people...
naw, I wasn't allowing the sale and trade of illegal drugs. I was joking about the marijauna. To all players: If you're going to spice things up, try to do it in a way that makes an ounce of fricken sense. Sorry, rich, but that came out of bloody nowhere.

Rhineland is affronted and disgusted by the unprovoked withdrawal of the BHG from the alliance, and begs it to reconsider. The government's officials deny all allegations of drug legalization and traffricking. Once again, please reconsider.

so its still turn 9 today...? all right...

@ Arilias: sorry, I'm not going to post the IMG's war movements. do it yourself!

(well, gotta do something, and the bhg doesn't like it when you do things behind our back. Plus, I'm already getting started on building a base in destiny system, so, you're outta luck bub. Plus the fact that in RL I don't like drugs anyway didn't help you. Consider yourself lucky I didn't see it before. )


Sir, we're ready.

Hit it.

whatever you want...I think its a waste, tho. I had something else in mind to get the ball rolling on this thing, an idea which I think you would like, but whatever you want...

plus, I think that a move like that is not a good move, politically speaking. Imagine if a real politician decided to do something like that...

well, i wouldn't have to ask Rheinland, if Kusari would grant me access to their capital shipyards so I can build something past gunboat

To Rheinland:
If you are interested, we could take over from the BHG as a police force. All we ask is a station (small, large or shipyard, up to you) in Rheinland in order for us to co-ordinate our forces (coming from Omicron Alpha to Rheinland is a pain in the @$$)

Before ANYBODY asks....
I had my username BEFORE the game even existed. Thank you.
