@ richardson: I accept your proposal for an alliance.

@Wilde: I have to think about the offer you made last turn. Depending on the rights to two systems I am currently looking at I may be willing to join in an Alliance. For the support of Liberty I would be interested in aquiring the Bering and Hudson system rights from you. In exchange the Liberty Fleet would be free to prosacute actions in defense of an Alliance. With the sole consession being I will not attack nor support an attack of the BHG or Bretonia. Should our forces cross with theirs I would be forced to withdrawl from the region to prevent shatering treaties with these two factions.

@Jacob who currently occupies Magellan because I plan on securing the system to support the Liberty economy. Also let me know what resources I will have in the new system which I have placed between New York and Alaska. Also sorry for all of the battles and if any of the factions in control of the bases I am attacking are PC and not NPC please recall my attacks. I am only trying to get a better foot hold in the game before I start to deal with the PC factions next turn. One other thing I Offer a full Alliance with you seeing how we are both the two newest major powers and think we are in a unique position in the Sirius sector. Should my dealings with the Rhinelanders cause a problem I will terminate any agreements before they are played out.

@ All: Whats crakin all. I hope we can all have a fun game. Oh and if anyone needs peacekeepers just let me know I have a Battlegroup I could deploy to help defend a contested system. The Liberty Navy is now at hire under certain conditions and for certain concessions.

[NOTE I edited my last turn to better account for the situation. I had assumed the Prison Ships in Texas would be like mobile stations. they're not just considered small stations. I've also edited the resources and credits to reflect this.[/NOTE

really...interesting. however, I wasn't talking about a specific station, I merely said with the lack of Kusari troops in the system, I have claimed it.
battles:

@ Triyun: sure, a non-agression pact is great. good to do business with you.

@ Sisko: You will be given ACCESS to Hudson and CONTROL of Bering. Bases in the systems will still be held by Rhineland forces, but you may do whatever you like with Bering and build stations in and move fighters through Hudson.

Rhineland is attacking Kusari at Sigma 13 with 50 LF, 2 HF, 5 VHF, 2 gunboats, 1 cruiser, and 1 battleship. I will send more my next turn.
Forces in Honshu are 20 LF, 1 HF, 2 VHF. They will attack the stations, starting with Akita (but seeing as in this game there's no way of calculating station attack and defence I think I should just take them)

turn to follow later in day.

To Wilde:

I wondered how you got into Honshu so I checked the map. It turns out that you can't. According to the rules "you can't move through a system with factions that are hostile to you". There are two ways to get to Honshu from Rheinland and the territories you have annexed. One is to go through Hudson/Bering, up through Libery. But you couldn't proceede farther than that because the next system you would need to pass through would be Shikoku, which is owned by me and hence hostile to you. The other route is through the Sigma Systems, wich is even more impossible since you would first have to pass through territory owned by the Corsairs and then through my forces in Sigma 13.

I reserve the right to redistribute my forces and change my attack based on what ww2jacob decides in this matter.

((I'll just post in for both factions, since I'm babysitting BD's for Honic))

AC: Unfortunately Rheinland just violated the pact by firing on Kusari stations within its own systems. Also as I understand the rules, only battleships and bombers can attack stations.

Quote: Agree no corsair, kusari, or rheinland system gets destroyed and we fight till all external samura worlds are conquered by one side and you have a deal. You just engaged in the Honshu system.

This is in direct violation of the the treaty we demand immediate withdrawl. Once this is done, we shall honour the treaty and agree that the war shall be fought solely over Samura's possesions outside Kusari, Corsairs, and Rheinland space, and once we are finished a peace treaty will be signed.

Message to the Kusari: Understood the Battleship is being ordered to hold its position and engage rheinlanders.

Transmission to Liberty and Bretonia: This is the Corsairs, we request a complete non-aggression pact with you for the remainder of our services to house Kusari in its civil war against Samura Rebels and the Rheinland allies of theres then to open up formal discussions on future relationships for better or worse.

I'm not dead yet!

Well, it's going to take me a while to catch up on everything that happened since I went to play Halo 2...

In the meantime, some answers and similar political gibberish

To Sisk3: I own Magellan, Freeport 4 is there.

To TRFL: Since you are going to be involved in the rising Rheinland/Kusari war, I'd like to point out to you that your freighters are still under IMG protection in the Taus and Bretonia; I'd ALSO like to remind you that your fighters and capital ships aren't allowed there. Important tactical data for you.

It's about time we got a good, old fashioned war. First I try to start one with the GMG, and that falls through, then we all attack the Outcasts, and that fails. Hopefully Kusari/Rheinland, a classic conflict, will work better.

@ Arilias: Pending the assault on the Mactan base would you consider allowing me to place three stations in this system? In return I would give you rights to build in the newly discovered system between New York and Alaska. (pending its resource count)

@Jacob: If I could I would like 8 oxygen and 10 H-Fuel for system resources if that is possible. Also I propose a full Alliance with Bretonia and would be willing to terminate aggreements with Rhineland should that be needed.

@To All: Even though Rhineland and Liberty have entered into Negotiations about a pending Alliance offer made by Rhineland I have not yet accepted and will most likely give my opinion before the day is out. (I live in the PST time zone) If I can receive a better offer then one system and passage rights I would be interested. I am currently looking for one system close to my space that would have at least two operating bases under the control of the faction that would like to do business with Liberty. For Almost unlimited Liberty Support in any endevour We would gain access to these systems and at least two of the stations operating within.

Sisko you missed Corsairs offer of a non-aggression pact that goes into effect immediatly, a promise of future more permanent negotiations.

Arlilas care to make a mutual defense pact with the Corsairs, you don't need to join the triple allliance with Blood Dragons and Kusari as well though. Basically this is an alliance to secure joint-hegemony over the border worlds and outer rim worlds, ensuring safe passage of both our ships through all terroritories. We have a pretty powerful military and you have quite a bit a resources, put the two together and we'd make a quite formidable force.

Edited by - Triyun on 11/16/2004 11:20:57 AM

@Triyun: I will consider the Non-Aggression pact but it is a likelyhood should relations with the Bretonians go the way I hope for. This would mean reducing The Alliance proposal from Rhineland from a full alliance to something more of a I won't shoot you first type of situation.

I'm not sure but I believe that ww2jacob decided that any new system has 2 each of everything.

cool.

Sisko:
Rheinland and the Corsairs aren't engaged in a war to conquer eachothers terroritory, its more the corsairs fighting as mercenaries for the Kusari government with the promise of terroritories in the Sigma Systems, while Rheinland is fulfilling its obligations to defend Samura who wanted to break away, so were not mortal enemies, I don't think were blood enemies, since as far as I know neither side wants the others terroritory, that would keep a non-aggression pact between the Liberty and the Corsairs.

Yes, 2 of everything for all new systems.

Sisko- Allience offer accepted. I will let you control Magellan, if you let me control Cortez. THis will make trade between us easier. I also accept your trade offer. Also, a player controls DSE, so you should not attack Pittsburgh.
Triyun- I agree to your pact. I hope the Corsairs and the Bretonian Empire can put aside their differences to better Sirius.

To All- There are a few systems that Bretonia wishes to claim as protectorates.
In this system, Bretonia would technically own the system, and be allowed to build bases, but all factions would be able to keep their bases, build more if needed, and would be under the protection of Bretonia. We will make sure no attackers will enter that system. Systems are:
Tau-29
Omega-3
Omega-5
Cortez
Could all factions that have bases in those systems give me an answer on this?

I will post my turn in a few hours.
I will try to work my way through these battles then as well, but it may be a day or two.

I under stand that. Its just that I wouldn't want to be placed in a position to attack someone that I just signed an Non-Aggression pact with.
