OOC:
Attention all the peoples! I am called ABRAHAM VAN HOEBAUNSTRAUFF... yeah pretty cool name, just came up with it, ok before you all become so enamoured with the names awesomeness, coming soon in fake ID form to a night club near you....
The calculator's done j0, I've had it since like 4:30, I assumed everyone had gotten it. Everyone who e-mails me, I'll e-mail them back the calculator. Also, the battle in Dresden doesn't occur at all.
AHEM, in 3.0 rules it like clearly states:
Each faction gets a grace period for their first three turns of play. They may not be attacked by a PC faction for those turns. If a PC faction attacks them, then disciplinary action will be taken. If the faction attacks another faction during the grace period, then it is nullified.
So Wilde and or Codename. NO ATTACKING, I won't administer punishment to either, but be sure to read the rules and stuff.

Grace Period:
Each faction gets a grace period for their first three turns of play. They may not be attacked by a PC faction for those turns. If a PC faction attacks them, then disciplinary action will be taken. If the faction attacks another faction during the grace period, then it is nullified.
A direct cut & paste of the rules.
So... NO BATTLES!!!!
@Cpt. Kill- Those are fighter wings. Just consider everything I use to be fighter wings from now on. So, you get:
5 LF wings per Small Station
10 LF wings per Large Station
10 HF wings per In-Game Battleship
1 Battleship per In-Game Battleship
20 LF wings per Planet

Jacob check your e-mail, also did you respond to my alliance offer ever?
@ Rheinland Chancellor and Wilde: I propose this as a peace settlement, if the Chancellor surrenders one system to the Hessians and the Bundusch, we will restrain full scale war between the pirate league and Rheinland. Rheinland even if it wins will be much weaker than any other house by the result.
@ DSE and Agiera: The Pirate League in exchange for a military alliance against Rheinland Aggression will allow you to build bases in our space and after the threat of Rheinland has passed quell any Xenos problem you have.

the Hessians accept this deal. Rhineland, you will surrender Dresden to the Pirate's League and we will not attack. Face it, even if you do destroy us...what then? your military will have crumbled in the battles fought in Rhineland territory so much that you will not have the strength or resources to continue the offensive into the Omegas without underprotecting your homeland.
In addition to the Dresden system, we would like the solemn oath of Rhineland it will fight for the proletarians, the middle class, and the well-off of its people. Chancellor Codename has a chance to redeem himself, to prove that he is different from his predecessors.

Offering me an unreasonable compromise does not make you a reasonable man, Triyun. Proper negotiation involves both sides giving a little and taking a little. I would not expect a pirate to understand that, of course. You are used to simply taking what you want from those weaker than yourself. I will never surrender the citizens I have sworn to protect to confirmed pirates. I have already made an eminently reasonable offer to the Bundschuh, one that would give them far more than that which you proposed.
It is as I thought. You seek only to keep the already disenfranchised under your cruel thumb. You and your Pirate League cronies may have different methods but your goals are clearly the same. You seek to subordinate others through power. The Hessian leader seeks the same but through the idle promises of a tinpot dictator. Finally, your Outcast friend will corrupt with his Cardamine. All of you digust me.

To the Hessian Leader:
Who are you to dictate terms to me? I know the location of your vaunted Vogtland Base and my army is amassing to destroy it. I do not, however, wish to pursue you into the Omegas. If you cease your pointless and criminal depredations against Daumann, Kruger and anyone else who your patrols happen to intercept then I believe that our two factions can finally be at peace.
"In addition to the Dresden system, we would like the solemn oath of Rhineland it will fight for the proletarians, the middle class, and the well-off of its people. Chancellor Codename has a chance to redeem himself, to prove that he is different from his predecessors."
Have you not listened to a word I have said? I have pledged myself multiple times to that very cause. Furthermore I offered the Bundschuh a superlative way of effecting the necessary changes. For whatever reason you choose to ignore these actions.
Tue Dec 21, 2004 8:23 pm
I don't know...the Bundschuh offer sounded an awful lot like a bribe. But if you promise that I will hold you to your oath. Furthermore, our forces vastly outmatch yours. Have you seen the Corsair VHF stats? FA 8. CA 8. FD and CD 5. No rhineland ship could stand up against that, not even a battleship. Even my LFs are more than a match for your fighters. Lastly, my force in Dresden outmatches yours by a long shot. You will not and you cannot win that battle.
"DEpredations"? Is that what you call fighting for right and freedom? CRIMINAL DEPREDATION?
Furthermore, if you destroy Vogtland, what then? I will rebuild again elsewhere. Even in Dresden again. Your force against mine may win, but it will still be decimated. You will not have the strength to prepare for another attack.
Lastly and finally, I wish to say this: You have 100 LF wings, 10 HF wings, and 1 battleship. We, pirate and revolutionaries, have far more force and power than that.

To the Hessian Leader:
How long have you been fighting for this "freedom"? How many hundreds of years? If the greater populace of Rheinland agreed with your ideology and tactics do you not think that they would have come out to support you in greater numbers. You may argue that they lived in fear of reprisals from the government but I have pledged, time and again, to uphold the democratic values of freedom and libery. If any Rheinlander wished to join your cause I would not have begrudged him. I only take issue with your violent ways. If, in joining you, a Rheinlander attacks and kills his own countrymen I lose all sense of respect and compassion. I would never, however, persecute someone for what they believe. Knowing this, why have your numbers not swelled? Where are the legions of disaffected Rheinlanders you claim to be fighting for?
Would you like to know the answer?
Tue Dec 21, 2004 8:46 pm
Do you know what the Corsairs used to say, back when we fought them as well? They said about us, "kill 3 and 5 more show up." Every single man, woman, and underaged child ever harmed by the harsh cruelty of Kruger and Republican has come to us or any other of the Rhineland revolutionaries, seeking guidance and a path to revenge and change. A path to Freedom. We offer that, the Bundschuh offer that, the LWB and Unioners offer that...
That is why our numbers are so strong.
I think I know what you would say. You'd say the answer to why our numbers are so small--they aren't, however, interestingly enough--is because you have been spreading propaganda and lies about us and all our allies so long that now you yourselves believe those same lies. We are not pirates, we are not neo-marxists, we are freedom fighters and socialist revolutionaries.
