The Conglomerate [MT ; PMT]

[Allied Governments]

Alright, got a good post idea for when I'm introducing the Praetorian Guard into the fight, since I tend to think ahead when I am thinking of a thread.

Of course, the introduction is slightly taken from the teaser trailer for Halo: Reach ("This is Prodigy 12, you got Praetorians on the ground sir, we're not going anywhere." Of course the callsign is open to change, but it definitely would include the letter P as an indicator of what they are.)

As far as the 2nd goes I'm still in the process of writing up a post to send RRF (Rapid Reaction Forces) into Pederton , Barrettstia as reinforcements. Mobilizing the entire 2nd will take a lot of time.

Barr will kill you if you do that.

I'm getting antsy over here Gc1mak, when am I going to be brutally invaded?

[Amazonian Beasts]

Actually, Saurea, a note:

Your military at 25 million for a billion-pop nation isn't really all that bad. Looking at the 5% military cap mark - that's really more applicable for full war-time developments, so a standard mark of around 25 mil - which would be like, what, 1-2% of your nation? in the military wouldn't be all bad.

My nation's at 8.6-ish billion total population, and my standard military - that is, when I'm not actively killing muthas - is around 60, 70 million-strong. Granted, if I raised DEFCON dramatically to like, 3 or 2, it'd go way up to the hundreds of millions...but seeing how it's not, I'm sittin pretty with under 1% of my nation in the military.

I always felt the numbers game was overrated anyway...what good is a 2-1 advantage if my smaller, well-trained, professional force can have one controller operating numerous airborne attack drones, or just two guys manning an advanced vehicle? Quality, not quantity.

*scratches head*

Okay, you've lost me there. How, exactly, will helping Barr piss him off? He's known for a while that he essentially has claim to the 2nd and if it's a matter of wanting to lose Pederton I figure that it'll take at least two hours world time, if not more, for the reinforcements to arrive via helicopter or some such. They are traveling all the way from Fort Raynor up in the north of Saurea, after all. So as far as the IC-battle goes they aren't going to arrive for quite some time, perhaps even after the defenders have withdrawn.

Very true. Just as how every Temsplace has the authority to call strafing runs and artillery strikes; having an army with a HUGE support military is alot better, in my opinion, than a giant mook army.

Besides, I don't even have a billion - I RP 700 million consistently, but my economy is generally equivalent to larger population nations, which is where I end up equalizing with others.

Some people are likely wondering why the Conglomerate's Voice members do not denote forces in a Conglomerate sanctioned-war until complete annihilation. The reasoning is exactly the situation we're in: the organisation has been structured like that so it can fight a two front war effectively. The larger, more prominent threat is the one the Hand fights, whereas the Voice maintains cohesion, and when needed, can fight the second, smaller front.

If you RPed with the several billion you have, then your army would be astronomically huge.

I prefer small but well trained infantry. It makes the entire wave-image of it all that much cooler.

Me too, my army is under 1 percent, allowing me to have top quality equipment. Also I have to incorporate Hip-Hop in one of my threads. It'd be awesome. I don't spose your a Hip Hop guy?

Just name a war "Big Shit Poppin'." It'd be amazing, and frighteningly accurate.

I will listen to Hip Hop if it's good. I don't have a genre favourite.

Nice, bro. The Conglomerate is the coolest supra-state/alliance in NS.

That's why we tha frat, and they're just "organizations."

I can't believe we are at 39 pages already, when I applied it was at 3, seems a lot of people became active this fall.

It's mostly just us talking about random shit, really. I mean, daaaamn.

Oh, and apps. Let's not forget apps.

[Allied Governments]

Hell, I remember RPing with a military force around 4-5 million total (when I had around 2.5 billion) so you can easily understand the quality of my soldiers.

[Gc1mak]

AG, let me get my newest upgrade of weapons, and you shall be exterminated.

To be frank, if I want to, I can surprise you without declaring war by launching thousands of SLBM, only 4-5 minutes to respond, you don't know who did it... And we are going to rp bunchs of Conglomerate rescue team trying to find survivors in the nuclear Wasteland. But there's no fun rping that to be frank.

Smug little one, isn't he.

I'll say it again, nukes are allowed, but not in a "lol, MAD" way.

[Gc1mak]

You better be careful, using too much tacnukes and enemy will decide the casualties are too unacceptable, and decide to nuke eachother out of existence before they take too much casualties.

The only time I'd nuke my own cities is if I had to enact the Winter Contingency, and by then I'd simply be trying to kill as many of the invading forces as I can, and by that point my ABM satellites and defenses would be in full effect.

I dont know why but Barr is very very touchy over Pederton. He made me castrate my pledged troops so that he could do what he wants with it. You sending a whole legion in would annoy him and I've been on the end of that. You don't wanna.

Wait, you thought I was going to march an entire legion that's well over a million strong (including support staff/civies) into a single city?



Smack yourself, please.

EDIT: It's worth noting that no offense is actually intended in the above request, but nevertheless the impracticality of what was implied is just awe-inspiring and had to be commented upon.

Ahh the "If I can't have it no-one can" plan... One that I don't follow because what's the point of taking over a country if it's a barren nuclear wasteland? Haven't we learned that doesn't work from the "Fallout" games!?

I appear to be misreading things. My sincerest apologies.
