Ah... The 'WUV WOO' cheat... my favorite after 'O CANADA' which spawns a super powered bear I have only ever been able to kill by mobbing it with about 35 Fenrirs for over 5 minutes

... Thanks Zark, now I want to not do my work >.>

So... who's gonna post ICly first? I am working on one but others could go before me... Anyone?

I always want to not do my work, . I always end up doing it the very last day before the day it's due.

[Agadar]

Let's see how Louis and the gang get out of this one

EDIT: @ESC: Wouldn't it take months if not years to construct such a massive teleporter in New York?

[Karaig]

Romans declare USNA Navy crossing the Atlantic suicidal.....

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

We're soooo doing this...... regardless of Vlad's tele-tech: this is a matter of bad-assery!

On a more serious note, good post Agadar.

[Agadar]

Why thank you. You've been showering me in compliments lately. Don't stop

About the naval issue: what Maximilian and Ansed are saying is that the American fleets could defeat the Roman Atlantic fleets, but lose most of their own in the process.

I'm now awaiting a reply from ESC regarding my question about the teleporter. Besides the time it takes to construct such a massive machine, it would also make defeating Rome easy mode. And we ain't playing on easy mode, baby. You gotta bleed to get a mere shot at the hope of victory.

Again, CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

Naval combat comes down to a tactical fight, so regardless of numbers, tactics triumph. Though numbers help, it's all how you use the fleet.

... You... Declare WAR! AGGY! YOU SEEM TO DOUBT OUR POWER!

Though what you should remember is that the German Military is controlled by Roma, and while I can't vouch for their control of it for much longer (Tee Hee)... this is going to be an amazing battle

It will be amazing on 3 principles:

1. Doesn't end in three posts.
2. Doesn't end with lol missile spam.
3. TANK BATTLES! It's Germany, duuuhhhh

First Bit: I promise it won't, it can't

Second Bit: I can not promise that won't happen in small scale

Third Bit: I will use them as soon as I have control of the German Military, until then it is gonna be guerrilla and urban warfare

At the gym so quick reply. Japan turned Tokyo Bay into a giant teleporter quite quickly. It should be able to replicate the first gen teleporter easily. Secondly, there can always be a software malfunction that can lead the fleet into the middle of the Atlantic right in front of the Roman Armada. So not easy mode.

Fuck.

I imagine a teleporter the size of Tokyo Bay to take quite a while to build, something along the lines of the Large Hadron Collider in difficulty and size, which took ten (!) years to complete.

[Earth Sphere Coalition]

I'll let Warhaven take care of this but it can be made fast now that the Japs have a stable portal. It can be easy to make the unstable prototype. Plus, we have Zeta on our side. So he can provide the resources needed to jerryrig a teleporter in say the Hudson Bay.

I have a couple questions, a statement, and some information to appease sooth Aggy's curiosity about the NCC.

First, the statement.

Benjamin Marks, my (more or less) Ex-inquisitor (still needs to be casted btw), will attempt to inform Rome of any plans he discovers from Louis or any of the other characters that he meets. The only way for me to do otherwise (and still make sense ICly) would be to have him meet Bardarus, and have him convince him that his true loyalty should lie with him.

Now a question, would the lot of you rather Marks play informant, or change which faction of Rome he is aligned with?

EDIT: I have only posted with Marks once. Will be doing so more soon.

Prior to the events of FOG1, Jeremiah successfully made his living by being hired by hurting companies to increase their success, mostly by increasing their profit margin/boosting employee moral.

Shortly after the events of FOG1, what would shortly become the NCC successfully succeeded from the UNSA (don't ask me how. I am not getting into that). After a while, they were in sore need of economic help. They enlisted Jeremiah's aid, and now the NCC is an (admittedly minor) economic power. Jeremiah does not actually run the country, but he has almost complete control of it's economics, and is universally considered the 'benefactor of the Caribbean'. His official position is 'Benefactor and Diplomat', and is currently running a multitude of projects (both personal and Government Sanctioned) on the islands.

Now, a question, does anyone object to one of those projects being a boat/submarine/plane that can support three or four dozen people for a couple weeks?

Well what is it? A boat, sub, or plane?

[Apostledom of chaos]

All three?

[Agadar]

Well, do whatever you want to do. Personally I believe it is likely that by the time that second teleporter's been build, the war's already over.

The world shall burn. Starting with Germany.

LoLi, if you liked my last post, then you will love my next one.

@Apostledom:

I have no idea how Bardarus could be convinced. The renegade inquisitors have grown a lot (even absorbing 'traitors' from the Seraph Knights and other branches) but the only ones Bardarus trusts are the original renegade inquisitors, of which all except one are pupils and life-long comrades of Bardarus. So, I'm curious how you will attempt this.

Now a question, would the lot of you rather Marks play informant, or change which faction of Rome he is aligned with?

We already have our fair share of inquisitors gone renegade. I'd enjoy a double agent as a secondary or perhaps even main character.

Now, a question, does anyone object to one of those projects being a boat/submarine/plane that can support three or four dozen people for a couple weeks?

That's not unrealistic at all, so I have no objections. I'm merely questioning the purpose...

A flying submarine? And there I was believing that Warhaven was our crazy scientist

You'll have to remind who this Marks fellow is. I never heard of him before or even remember voting on an app for him.

[Earth Sphere Coalition]

I have no objections. The Leviathan basically did all three during the Battle for London.

Clarification, Bardarus would be convincing Marks to abandon Rome

Wonderful. One vote for informant for Rome.

Actually, that really isn't that hard to believe in. All you would need to do would be to make it air tight, and have a way to retract the wings/whatever it uses to fly.

You'll have to remind who this Marks fellow is. I never heard of him before or even remember voting on an app for him.

I've asked Loli to dig it up. But I assure you, he was voted and approved. He's a telepath/empath/mind reader. He's also a highly traumatized (more or less Ex) inquisitor.

[Laughing Peninsula]

Character Name: Benjamin Marks (AKA The Silent Man)
Age: 35
Gender: Male
Skin Color: Rudy
Height: 5"8'
Weight: 170 lbs
Eye Color: Grey
Hair Color: Dusty brown

Powers: Mind reading, mild hypnotic suggestion, long distance telepathy and telepathic projection.

Most minds have somewhere around four or so levels of thought, three of conscious, one of subconscious. He can access and read the first two levels of someones thought. Under direct physical contact, he can also place mild suggestions in someones mind. I.E. making them mildly more inclined towards taking a certain action, or feeling a certain way under a certain condition. After approximately three minutes of contact with a mind, he can track it over long distances. His telepathic projection (as opposed to his normal telepathy) gives the person he is contacting the impression that someone is there that they are not aware of, creating a (very) faint image visible only to, them and than causing their brain to interpret the foreign thoughts as external audio input. As for his normal telepathy, that works by inputting obviously foreign thoughts into someone's mind. The weak minded, inexperienced, or just out right stupid may mistake these thoughts for their own, however this IS different from the hypnotic suggestion.

Abilities: Inquisitor training, Better than average information gathering skills (not related to his mind reading).

Weaknesses: During a telepathic projection, he is incapable of controlling his body, though he is completely aware of any and all physical stimuli.

Short Biography: Both of his parents are dead. His father (British), died in a car accident, and his mother (Roman), died in a fire at the funeral. Raised in a Roman orphanage, gained his power shortly after a gas explosion destroyed the orphanage. Lived on the street making use of his power to survive, he was taken in and trained as an inquisitor upon the discovery of his power. During his first mission, he befriended the other two inquisitors working with him on the mission, Lora Pharin, who's power was energy projection, and Dan Terel, who's was capable of calculating the statistical odds of any (reasonable) outcome of any (reasonable) situation at insanely fast speed. They became good friends, and were paired together more and more often, due to the fact that they worked incredibly well together. Eventually Ben fell in love with Lora. Dan, who not only did NOT love Lora, supported his two friends and actively tried to foster a more intimate relationship between the two of them. However on their most recent mission, their operation (a non lethal snatch and grab) was compromised, they were ambushed in a fuel storage building. During a lull in the battle, Dan was able to do a large quantity of planning, and discovered the only way for the battle to end without all three of them being killed, he caused a crate to fall and bump Lora, causing her bolt of energy to hit a barrel of oil, and set off a large explosion killing the remaining enemies, killing Dan, sending Lora into a coma, and injuring Ben, causing minor brain damage, and mild amnesia, rendering all his memories prior to the damage fuzzy, and in some cases, destroying them completely. The only things that are still clear in his mind, are every instance he has ever seen an open flame, and his loyalty to, and faith in, the Roman Empire.

Sigh* A good digger is never appreciated...

Thank you Loli.

Agent Echo has a most extraordinary ability. Not only can she breathe and move through water, but she can fire off sound waves that effectively replicate echolation. As well as a variety of other sound types, but that's not the point. One of our finest scientists built a type of unmanned drone ship replicating her ability. With her as point, our team of robots can pinpoint the locations of the submarines and their docking pens.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this just sonar?
