Maybe thats why the UTRNs invasion plan seems to be working so well...Crayz9000 wrote:By the way, Kyle, I believe you had a Klingon general delivered to someplace in the UTR a while back. Bounties on Klingon command and all that.
Troll incursions... are we talking actual trolls as in... big stupid things that wield large clubs?Crayz9000 wrote:Well, they gotta have somebody to beat up on in the absence of prolonged conflict or Troll incursions...
Yeah, well, the Kzin are in a similar geographic area if you happen to run into trouble. I believe you have their number.Kyle wrote:Maybe thats why the UTRNs invasion plan seems to be working so well...
I'll remember that. Though to be honest I can't really see that happening, the Klingon Empire is a third or fourth rate power that wouldn't even be worth the UTRs time if it wasn't for the fact that they happened to sit on on the UTRs front porch so to speak.Pablo Sanchez wrote:Yeah, well, the Kzin are in a similar geographic area if you happen to run into trouble.

Yes, yes it would. This is why we verified our targets before attacking. Fighting the ship that could eat my entire fleet can wait until I decide to quit this STOD .SirNitram wrote:You know, with all these folks screaming down on pirate fleets, I'm sure it would be a horrible wakeup call to find yourself staring at a Psychopath and it's escorts conducting business....

It's ironic. I declare I'm gonna start smashing minor pirate fiefdoms to unify the criminal underground, and all of you do my work for me!Thirdfain wrote:Ooooh, wook at dah big scawy piwate ship!SirNitram wrote:You know, with all these folks screaming down on pirate fleets, I'm sure it would be a horrible wakeup call to find yourself staring at a Psychopath and it's escorts conducting business....

yeah about that. well you see heres what happened. you diplomats came, we discussed, we agreed on peace. we would build an embassy but i saw no need for you to leave your diplomatic vessel here. its not as if it was going to do anything other than be confiscated in the case of an emergency where all vessels would be siezed by the government. so we thought you might want to keep it so we sent it back to your fleet. the thing about another diplomat is in case you want to fire this one or simply change out the 10 marines you brought with it the first time. but dont worry if your want your diplomatic corp off our planet at any time, simply ask for a ANN vessel, im sure we can send a corvette to get you outAgent Fisher wrote:Cabwi, could you sum that post up for me. I am having a hard time understanding what just happened.
Do you mean for me to send another diplomat? Because, the full staff for an embassy was on that vessel. Along with all my equipment and marines for guard duty. And the ship was to stay there.

"Welcome, Mr. Ambassador, welcome to the 13 Republics. A little note- your pri vate craft, well, you can't have it. If you did have it, we'd just confiscate it (an act of war!) in any time of emergency. Care for some caviar?"
The Commonwealth is sending an envoy immediately.
Well, actually, I'm currently spread out on a grand total of 4 fronts due to treaty obligations, so nope, not looking for any cassus belli yet...consequences wrote:

It had way more than ten marines. Those were the first down the ramp. And no way am I leaving my people on your planet with the only way out is through you. The ship stays. And I want land big enough to hold my embassy, living quaters, and area for my ship.Cabwi Desco wrote:yeah about that. well you see heres what happened. you diplomats came, we discussed, we agreed on peace. we would build an embassy but i saw no need for you to leave your diplomatic vessel here. its not as if it was going to do anything other than be confiscated in the case of an emergency where all vessels would be siezed by the government. so we thought you might want to keep it so we sent it back to your fleet. the thing about another diplomat is in case you want to fire this one or simply change out the 10 marines you brought with it the first time. but dont worry if your want your diplomatic corp off our planet at any time, simply ask for a ANN vessel, im sure we can send a corvette to get you outAgent Fisher wrote:Cabwi, could you sum that post up for me.

Correction, he bombed himself so his own space station crashed into one of his occupied cities. Which really should have struck people as fishy at the time, if the station was a loss, and it took as long as it did to fall, it should have been possible to nuke the thing if he really gave a shit about the civilians that got toasted. Man, we were some unthinking gullible losers.frigidmagi wrote:For those who don't know. He bombed himself. Of course for his invasions into Hudson and other fiefdoms he didn't really bother to get an excuse.
To be fair, the occupied city was full of Ouster troops and administrators...consequences wrote:

Ah well, time to single-handedly forge a trade route then.Thirdfain wrote:Well, anyone can send a member an application for membership, but not being in the East is a big, big disadvantage for any power attempting membership. I recall you are not on any trade routes, while being nowhere near the Eastern Rim, so you have next to no chance of getting in.
Meanwhile, I grumble after sending in my application including full military support of any defense of trade, and what do I get? Bupkiss. Damn beaurocracy. Down with capitalism! Down with capitalism! Workers of the World Unite! Sieg Heil!Thirdfain wrote:Well, anyone can send a member an application for membership, but not being in the East is a big, big disadvantage for any power attempting membership.
