I seem to have gotten all the techs and explorations, but I am very confused by the attacks. Next turn could each faction post a list like this at the end of your turn?

I am attacking _____ with ______, ________, and _______
and/or
I am being attacked by _______. I have ______ and _______ defending.

I would really appreciate that.
Once you post those, I will resolve all the presented battles.

waiting for rheinland to reply

Most people fear the unknown.
Most people haven't met me.

Because the Blood Dragons are so badly outnumbered, hostilities are being paused for now to rebuild. That is the line within Kyoto Base, outside the Blood Dragons try and follow the Corsairs example to get pardons from Kusari.

Total Turn Currency 300 credits
Placement: 10 LF Fighters at Kyoto Base
Purchases: 8 Research Units, +5 into CA power for the Bomber and +3 for the FA for the Light Fighter, 2 System Exploration teams
Movements: None
Attacks: None
New Credit Per Turn Amount: 0 credits unknown the calculator doesn't have chugoku
Leftover Money: 0 credits
ALL Unit Locations:
10 LF at Kyoto Base
ALL Base Locations :
1 Large Base in the Chugoku System
Current Ship Stats:
Standard Kusari
+5 bomber, +3 FA LF, 2 Exploration teams
Diplomacy:
Agreement for tech trade is made between Corsairs and Blood Dragons
Peace envoy is sent to Kusari on the condition of autonomy

@ gunblader: whoa, that was for me? In that case...
Rhineland accepts the alliance and trade agreement of Samura industries. You will have complete access to our shipyards and we will recieve half your income per turn. Plus, military protection and aid will be offerred in times of offence or attack. Glad to do business with you.

@ REAL: thanks, we will consider it. You will have an answer by tomorrow.

for battles, Rhineland is attacking the Liberty Rogue's station (Dawson) in the Hudson system with 30 LF, 2 HF, 2 VHF, 1 gunboat, and a cruiser.

@ BHG: Yes, but apparently a hardcore crimefighter lacking all trace of subtelty whatsoever. And being a guildmaster, you would have to have the least bit of political savoir.

turn 10:

1. I place 1 cruiser in Hamburg, 1 in New Berlin

2. I buy 2 gunboats and 5 LF wings. And I attempt to up my LF's Fighter Attack. cost of 130 credits/24 M/25 H-F/2 F/11 O

3. As soon as my business with the Rogues finishes, I can get on to my other plans. Plans that I think you all will enjoy....heh heh heh...

And just to remind all factions still allied with me: You are bound by terms of our contracts to, in any instance I attack a faction that you are not allied with, attack that same faction. The reverse applies to me.

4. Movin the 25 LF we had in Bretonia back to Dresden--that is, unless, Codename has a use for them. And I'm assuming I won Dawson station, so once I know how many ships are remaining I'll be pulling those into Hamburg space.

5. I collect my 215 credits, plus 1230= 1445. How much does Samura get per turn?
commodities left: 122 M, 43 H-F, 38 O, 143 F, 84 W

AC, can rheinland respond to my offer of openning up relations, I've been asking for a couple days now.

To Samura Industries:

What you propose borders on treason. Rember who protects you. Who has kept the pirates and criminals from preying on your helpless convoys. And you repay us by striking a deal with Rheinland?!!! We will give you one chance. Halt any further interactions with Rheinland immedeately and all wil be forgiven. Otherwise you may suddenly find youselves "unwelcome" in the systems of Kusari.



BTW in character Samura Industries would never consider such actions since they, along with the rest of Kusari, still blame Rheinland for the death and destruction they inflicted on Kusari during the *edited for spoiler* incursion.
************************************************************************************************

Turn 11

This turn I will:

A. Place 1 destroyer in the New Tokyo system and 1 large base in the Omicron Gamma system, pending the approveal of the Corsairs, as a gesture of good faith (and also to make sure they are behaving themselves).

B. Purchase 1 small base and 1 battleship.

C.We accept the alliance of the Blood Dragons. House Kusari has been divided for far to long . It is time to let the healing begin. In recognition of this we are willing to grant amnesty to all Blood Dragons and begin government reforms to reduce corruption. We would welccome any pilots who wish to fight along side us now instead of against us.


At the end of this turn I will have:

5 credits, 366 Food, 288 H-Fuel, 29 Metals, 10 Oxygen, 418 food

5 small bases, 9 large bases, 1 capital shipyard, 1 fighter shipyard, and 4 planets.

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

OOC: Too support the in character arguement against the deal, if you know anything about the Japanese they are on a whole racial supremesist believing they are the chosen people, a prominent family would be dishonoured and cast out for the deal you are doing. It would really be unthinkable.

Corsairs-> Kusari:

This will be acceptable provided you pay a 5 credit tax on this base to us each turn. We also request that the bases executive officer be a corsair and 1/3 of the security personnel be as such to ensure the base is not a trojan horse.

Turn 10:

Money: 130 credits
Commodities: 30 water and oxygen

Base: pacifia and a unamed small station in Hudson
Rheinland and the Unioneers are still awaiting result from a joint attack on the Xeno base in Bering.

oh, sorry Triyun, I must have missed that...
a truce, you say...? I don't know. maybe, I'll have to consider it.

Rhineland has been approached by two well-known and seemingly active criminal organizations for alliances and truces...the chancellor will have ta think about it.

Any advice from faction leaders?

I really think some people (hint, richardson) are stepping out of character overly much. Personally, I am not entirely innocent on this charge, and frankly we all have to clean up our act.

I agree.
Some people really are going overboard.
RPG -> ROLE PLAYING Game
Play the role as it should be played.
IE-
Bretonia attacking anything that moves?
A house corp siding with an enemy of its host house?
The BHG backstabbing a house?

Of course, it's not really my RPG, I'm just giving a recommendation.

I'd be more willing to be an active criminal element if I wasn't way behind on turns as the the houses and would have 3 huge empires supplimented by some powerful guilds and corporations to fight with a couple dozen fighters. The corsairs in the game had their terroritories pretty much hidden and had a huge tech advantage to survive, as well as better pilots. I have none of these.

Well, I tried to figure things like that in, but I got crap from everyone about how things were too "complicated". I thought that the VHF thing would be an advantage, plus pirate ships are far better than house ships. Sorry, i wish it could be more balenced.

I have resolved the listed battles!

Rheinland vs. Liberty Rogues @ Hudson-
Rheinland Victory.
Rheinland lost 1 LF wing, Rogues lost all 5 wings.

Rheinland, Unioners vs. Xenos @ Bering
Rheinland/Unioner Victory.
Unioners lost 1 LF wing, Xenos lost all 5 wings.

Post any battles that I missed.

I understand its more complicated, I'm just saying don't complain when criminal organizations try to ally themselves with a house in order to survive. Oh btw, do I need a capital shipyard to build gunships.
