The Immortal Pathogen OOC Thread

[Magna Omega]

Well the IFMO is not yet officially involved. We have not amassed any forces yet.

[The Fedral Union]

then why did you tag the thread horn? I can handle my self perfectly, if you wont stand with me so be it. I guess I'll just have to show the balls around here. While every one is running around with their heads afraid of the big bad "Huerdaen fleets" I'll be prepping to show them up with my own -Big- bad fleets.

Sorry, I know this really isn't the place for it, but I've been watching the main IC (awesome by the way) and all this talk of fleets, etc. got me curious, how exactly do you work out populations in FT?

I know, a rather inane question, apologies again for cluttering the thread.

[The Fedral Union]

Your mileage may vary, icly I claim a pop of 328 billion -HOWEVER- I go by my nation page to figure out how many ships I can have the general guideline around the place is a 1000 ships per billion, and since I am essentially 14 billion I can have 14,000 ships. -that- being said not everyone follows that guideline exactly again your mileage may vary. I keep my fleet numbers bellow 3000 to give myself quality, (more investment in fewer ships with higher tech) so they are generally nastier individually than a nation who has a fleet double the size of mine at the same NS page population.

That's rather offensive, i'm not afraid of his fleets, I'm afraid that he'll get past mine and enter my systems reaking havoc on my peoples. I do have balls and I will defend my space, this war will not benefit my nation if I go on the offensive right now.

I was going to post how the you whent against my orders and assembled an attack fleet.

[The Fedral Union]

Relax its all in good fun, besides my nation acts unilaterally when it see's fit, the JSA doesn't have to support -anything- I do. It was the members decision to help. Also don't you have a sensor system ? and I would think your commanders are smart enough not to contribute the entire fleet to an operation.

[Ekilion]

My fleet could be 4000 ships (my NS page says 2.something billion but due to 4 months of being unable to access the website my nation got knocked off and the pop didn't grow (it should be around 4.4 billion))

My actual fleet has around 600 ships but most of these are massive (4 or so of my ships rivals most fleets)

I am relaxed, just wanted to clarify my reasonings. Elaborate on the sensor system please TFU.

[The Fedral Union]

I thought you had a long range sensor system to scan ships or FTL signatures?

[Hornopolis]

I thought you had a long range sensor system to scan ships or FTL signatures?

Oh! Thats what you meant... Yes I do... I would suppose, its not exactly what you'd call a sensor system though.

[The Fedral Union]

See if you use that, and your fleet you should be fine, all you need to contribute is a few fighters not capital ships, I got a bunch of caps I need to figure out what to do with now in the briefing. But I have a plan.

[The Fedral Union]

Frankly, after having an msn conversation with Huerdae about things, I don't think rping with him will be a profitable enterprise, I wont sling crap on here but I just don't think it will go any place. Simple as that. I'm just gonna have the thread locked (by the way Huerdae My plan was to distract your people with those ships on your "border" not send them in to your system, but you had to make assumptions and fly off the handle at me, so have fun.)

@Edit: And for your information Huerdae, -I- do know how to rp and I don't appreciate you talking to me like you did.

[Huerdae]

Having them on the border will do nothing. Yes, I'll probably put more ships on standby, but I run patrols anyway, so....how would that do anything?

Your concern needs to be the home fleets. The War Fleet that is generally kept on half-active around my heartland colonies, one of which is Rethan. If you bring a massive fleet, or even a significant number of small ships, you're going to see battleships, cruisers, and possibly even a Dreadnought. This isn't the game we agreed to play.

I'm willing to play the game, as I explained to the others involved. I simply want to see some restraint.

[The Fedral Union]

You badgered me with insults and expected me to be hunky dory rping with you. Then you said I don't know how to rp , so why do you care leave it alone? I'm obviously not worth your time.

[Huerdae]

Alright.

I accept your decision. Thanks for choosing quickly.

[Rethan]

AAAAHHH! Two days after my ebil plot is revealed and there's drama. Okay, seeing as this is getting awfully confusing, I'm going to ask people TO NOT POST until I have read through everything and edited this post accordingly, thank you very much.

Now since this technically isn't a ful fledged war yet, mind if I shoot you all a proposition? I got this idea from the game Mass Effect if any of you have heard of it (ICly my nation is based off of Mass Effect). Now if not a massive intergalactic war, how about a "conflict" similar to the human conflict with the Geth in the game. See, in the game the humans are atacked by the Geth and have several major engagements with them along with fighting holdouts. It could possibly be like constant hostilities between the Rethast and the JSA with constant skirmishes, battles, and firefights in space and on outposts. I'm sure you get the point. Just a suggestion.

Why does that cursed game Mass Effect keep cropping up everywhere in my RPs and nation design? This is a joke.

Yes, that is what I had intended. The Rethast are kind of....massively outnumbered right now, and aren't about to go throwing themselves full force into a war just yet. The intent is for anyone in the JSA (or anybody, really) who needs a bad guy can come to me. The Rethast are being cagey and manipulative right now. In time I'll be spreading a plague, watching it, making it better and so on so forth, with brief skirmishes as we try to mess up things galaxy-wide. I have other plans, but I'm keeping my cards close to my chest right now.

Now, to anyone with the scouting, expeditionary/whatever fleet, you are not going to find the Rethast, or at least not their Nephilim fleets. They've only just entered the galaxy and spend the vast majority of their time in Slipspace travelling between lifeless systems and so on. What you will find, however, is their influence and their 'diplomatic' Relayships. But if you cause havoc for the Huerdaen you may find yourself staring down a Grigori, so consider yourselves warned.

Alright guys, let's keep this civil please. It's only the Rethast, at the end of the day.

You'll pay for that one.....*mumblemumblemumble*

Rethan I'd like to join in your thread if at all possible?

I'm afraid you got there too slow. I've already got my planned slots filled up and a 'representative' of the JSA. There will be plenty of events for you to get in on.

Also, if anyone has disagreements and reservations about RPing with someone, keep it to yourselves. That's what TGs are for. There will be plenty of opportunities for people to do things, and plenty of involved parties to RP with if all goes well. To those partaking in the UTAs expeditionary fleet, the person you'll want to talk to OOCly is Huerdae, as the Rethast don't have a 'domain' or any planets or systems. It's the Huerdaen (and Telros) you'll be bothering, not me. But cause enough noise and I will get involved.

I'd really rather not have this all come crashing down so near the beginning because of OOC disagreements or misunderstandings. This is what MSN and IRC are for. For those without MSN, I actually have an IRC channel on irc.esper.net, channel #NSLegion. I was bored one day and it's still active so... yeah.

Hey Rethan, need assistance from another nomadic nation that can cause fear and terror?

[Ozymos]

On the subject of which, is the hit you took out on MO and myself with Red Talons still valid?

[Rethan]

My above post is updated, please read everybody.

Yes, help is always wanted. I don't actually have your MSN, but it's in my profile so add me and we can talk something out. : D

On the subject of which, is the hit you took out on MO and myself with Red Talons still valid?

Yes, yes it is as far as I am aware, as he is unaware ICly that the Remnant = the Rethast. : D

No, he does. We've spoken.

You know, one day i'll stop skim-reading and actually read stuff.

Oh mah gawd its like a giant veil was just lifted off my face and the beautiful maiden before my eyes just turned into a hideous Ork with a giant, bloody choppa.

Nah. You can train a squig. (Kinda)
