@Deathspike- That's your job, not ours. If you lost them, then return to your last post to see what you have and what you built.

Oh, and as an IMPORTANT note to all...
Our new website is up!

My turn, battle results, and a new colony news to come soon.

To Liberty: If you wish, we will send a wing of bombers to you and allow you access to Alster shipyards, where the bombers are produced. (Remember I mushed the Unioners into Rhineland, so its only fair I can build them). That way you will be able to build bombers and we will be evenly matched.

I agree with DeathSpike, tho. Lighten up.

Besides, Rhineland looks like its going to be a victim of a war soon, so, I kinda need an advantage.

Liberty Still Maintains its stance that having this combined Technology would be highly unstable for the Sirius Sector and I'm afraid that I will have to interdict it should the combinations of technologies proliferate.

The Liberty Government needs to consider all facts in this matter. Expect our turn shortly.

On behalf on President Triyun, I would like to extend friendship and alliance of Hispania to Kusari. Email me for details or i'll email you.

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

Post Wed Nov 24, 2004 9:24 pm

I'll prevent any crossing so long as Rheinland agrees to an alliance that states, if two houses gain up on either of us, the other will respond in same. And it recognizes the right of Hispania to produce a fleet of warships. Seeing as we already have a sizable fleet the point really is surperfluous. I need an alliance and if I can't get it from you, I'll get it from Kusari. I also expect your borders to be closed to our enemies as well.

This turn:

Placing Capital Shipyard At Sigma 17.

Constructing: 12 Bomber Wings @ Omicron Gamma.

Moving:

All Samura Industries Military Assets
Plus:
1 Kusari Battleship
30 VHF Wings
7 Bomber Wings
30 LF Wings

Into defensive formation around the Kusari Border in Sigma 13 and begin mining the jump gate once blood dragon forces are moved into the Sigma system.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Attention, why Liberty is acting alarmed is beyond our comprehension. They wished to withdraw peace keepers so we developed a force equal to theirs to patrol the Sigma Cluster. The only power which has shown alarm by this is Liberty, they do not share a border with us. Our neighboring powers are hardly in an arms race with us. In fact our Samura branch posses a formidable capital ship force, if anything they'd prefer a force capable of defending borders. What seperates Hispania from any other house, that our ship had recieved battle damage, that is all! The President of Hispania has declared a state of emergency. All forces are placed on the highest level of alert as they mine the jump gate into Kusari space should Liberty try to enter. There would be enough mines to take down a force at least the size of the peace keeping fleet Liberty dispatched.

We wish for a meeting between the Liberty and Hispania Presidents, we invite him onto the Luxury Liner Hawaii, the greatest vacation destination in all of Hispania. We will discuss our position with him there. We hope Liberty accepts our hoispiltality and keeps senseless blood shed from occuring.

To the VP's Office: I shall speak with Kusari's Shogun. We are old highschool and college buddies.

Colony News!

Liberty crushes BHG! : In urgent and shocking news today, President Sisko of Liberty quickly and brutally attacked the BHG in their home system of Freedom, as well as at Deshima and Sheffield. All the attacks were successful, with minimal losses for Liberty. The BHG is no longer a power at all, leaving many wondering what has gone wrong with Liberty's government.

King knights Guildmaster of the IMG : Today, in an elaborate ceremony, ww2jacob, King of Bretonia, knighted Arilias of the IMG. The King stated that the knighting was to, "Better the relations between our two factions."

Tensions between Bretonia and Rheinland ease : Things are slowly relaxing between the goverments of Rheinland and Bretonia. A peace treaty is being discussed, and government officials are hoping that the storm has passed, and that there will be no war. It seems that the anger brought on and then intensified when a Rheinland spokesman insulted the King, seems to have left. We can all only hope that the talks will go well.

Liberty threatens Hispania! : President Sisko of Liberty recently threatened to destroy the recently created House Hispania if they didn't cease building both bombers and capital ships at the same time. Sisko seems to be on the warpath for some reason, and Hispania very well could be his next target. The upstart nation responded by mobilizing its forces for war.

Liberty threatens Rheinland! : In late breaking news, Liberty has also made threats towards its ally, Rheinland. Liberty is very opposed to any faction having the ability to create both bombers and capital ships. What started as a possible war between Bretonia and Rheinland could become a war between Liberty and Rheinland instead. More to come as this story unfolds...

This has been an edition of the Colony News Service!
Over and out from our wet, wet, headquarters in New London.

OOC- Guys, I am not expecting to come onto TLR tommorow. I have stuff with my family. I will be back on Friday, however, so I can catch up on stuff then. Please hold important stuff off for tommorow as well. I will skip turns for today and tommorow, so I will just gather triple stuff Friday. Wilde, I will discuss our agreement on Friday when I return.

Also, I have an offer for Wilde. Would you, or anyone, mind if I just said that you lost 2 LF for each of your attacks, so you can know what your outcomes are? If you think that would be good, then go ahead and remove 2 LF from each attack force and get on with your stuff. If you still have units attacking, then you win.

Thank you all, and Happy Thanksgiving.

NEWS:
Liberty is currently standing down from its highest alert status since the election earlier this year. Reports of a secret meeting between President Sisko and King Jacob of Bretonia to discover the reason behind Liberty’s eccentric behavior of late has managed to quell the Liberty Governments tempers. Although Liberty Still adamantly requests that all Bombers in the possession of any house should be scrapped in order to allow such parties to control Capital Ships should be taken to heart by all of the leaders of the Sirius Sector. Although Liberty President Sisko will not be present as he will be away on his private estate in the California System for the Holiday.

@ Triyun: Accepted. One house I could deal with, but two or more is crazy.

To Liberty: I doing this as a precaution if two houses--such as Kusari and Bretonia (fortunately Bretonia does not seem like it's going to attack)--should attack my faction. However, until I am attacked, I will end the production of all bombers. As a sign of goodwill, I will send you the four wings I have.

OOC: Whatever happened to the three bases in a system rule, I've been following that, by Liberty having like 6 in Manhattan, does this mean the rule no longer applies. Gunblader I'm going to place all our stuff together for this turn, just so everyones clear on what we posses total. After that resume command of your forces

Also everyone knows, no one at this point will really be able to join in the game now, with all this attacking every npc faction right?

@ Liberty: It pleases our heart to have you adopt a less aggressive stance. We will warn you ahead of time, there is going to be a rapid military build up for House Hispania, but it will level off in the near future once our military is sufficently powerful. We will maintain bomber production capacity and several active tactical squadrons, the current members of house hispania will no longer produce them. If the zoners join, we will allow them to produce a few, but not many. We hope this act of good will appeases you, for we have begun production of battleships.

@ Outcasts: The cabinent of President Triyun Kun of the House Hispania has met and has elected to give the Outcasts an option to enter into its ancestral house. We highly recommend this option.

@ All: With the Liberty crisis seeming to have calmed for some time, the military of Hispania has returned to its duties in ending crime and unifying House Hispania once again. We also welcome Liberty's economic presence in the Hispania Neutral Zone to resume.

@ Rheinland: We are heartend to hear of you agreeing to this pact.

Sorry for Double post, only saw Truyin (whatever his name is spelt like ) just now.

@Hispania, if we decline your invatation, you'll vape us. If we accpet, we'll have to pay tax to you. Money WE NEED. Not alot of options then. Maybe if you put up acceptable conditions then we will consider it.
