Earth II [ARCHIVE THREAD #1]

Well ladies and gents, I was rather unimpressed with the current Earth II forums, and so have made my own version, which I submit to you for a vote. Should you like my creation, then I propose we move all Earth II business there and abandon the rather uninteresting forsaken outlaw forum, and move to this better, shiny-er forum. Voila!

[Taledonia]

Along with that, I'd like to make some claims. Don't worry, it's territory open to everyone this time so I should be good. I'd like to have New South Wales, South Australia, Ethiopia, and Sudan(only the states of Red Sea (Al Bahr al Ahmar), Kassala (Ash Sharqiyah), and River Nile (Nahr an Nil)). Once acknowledged, I shall begin my threads.

I wouldnt call the Forsaken outlaw forums "uninteresting" if I was you. Lay has elite teams of spec ops ready to make you "disappear".

Either way, better get Khorsun's vending machine costume.

My forum is now more or less ready for full showing off, with the addition of the new banner. For those who have checked it out so far, go look again. Those who haven't, go look.

It's not so much that we haven't sen it, we're just worried about your chances of survival and hoping that we are not in the same room when the 50 cal rounds start hitting

The man who must kill his opposition hardly deserves the title of man. If a man cannot compete in a fair and free system, then what distinguishes him as a man? Strength of arms? Primates can do the same. No, man's true faculty is the mind; and how better to prove his worth than by pitting his ideas and work against those of others?

In other words, I say bah! to your threats of death! I am Neptune! God of the Sea!

I never said anything about "must", all I said is when it comes to take care of you we want to avoid being in the room. That said what if Lay is actually a woman? We don't know anything for a fact, and if that is the case your argument is moot.

Anyway to quote the venerable Jean Rasczak "Violence has resolved more conflicts than anything else. The contrary opinion that violence doesn't solve anything is merely wishful thinking at its worst."

you may be Neptune and he maybe Zeus but I'm the guy with the orbital strike cannon prepared to glass the planet, "Nuk'em from orbit, its the only way to be sure"

A .50 cal multipurpose round to the head always wins over the mind of said shot fucker, regardless of who he is

Earth II already has forums and for a proper reason. The forums that I host are secure to my liking. I do not like nor wish to deal with Invisionfree whatsoever. You can use these for your own personal use but they will not be endorsed as official off-site forums for Earth II. Furthermore this is something that should have been consulted with Brink and myself first as we are the moderators of Earth II.

[Taledonia]

It is simply a suggestion. I was unhappy with the current forums, and thus made an alternative. I do not force you to use it. And personally, I do not see what is so bad about Invisionfree.

Lets just say that not everyone has an easy time with invasionfree, well that applies to most forum sites. Anyway, don't take it badly, that's just Lays way of saying "thank you for the idea but we are quite happy at the moment and if you have any other thoughts on making Earth 2 better pm me or Brink".

Besides, maybe we could use this forum you've created for something else... such as a black market and none government earth 2 organizations forum. In other words a place for a underground black market to exist without cluttering the main off site forum. Face it folks, black market does exist even in NS and hey they might have fewer items for sale but it is still a powerful part of the worlds economy. I mean really how is the IRA supposed to operate without a black market for supplies?

Not trying to circumvent anyone, just trying to be helpful

The Earth II off-site forums were originally on Invisionfree and they were nothing but a hassle. They didn't offer nearly what we wanted at the time and they still don't. Some people prefer IF some prefer phpBB3. We are in the latter category.

[Taledonia]

Well, any chance you blokes can pretty it up some?

[United States of Brink]

I can't be mad a Tale and his cheery English - online accent.

On a different note I am so so tired. 12 hour days of school and work are fail.

[Layarteb]

It looks fine the way it is.

[Taledonia]

Brink: Thank you, Old Sock.

Lay: Well, if you insist. Personally, I like a bit more colour and flare. But then, stark, orderly, sterile features are not without their charm.

Also, to whom it may concern, do I have the go ahead to begin my plans to claim the mentioned territories?

[Hi No Moto]

My military factbook, which is still not finished ...

Imperial Hi No Moton Armed Forces

[Cotland]

A few minor things to be modified on the Spreadsheet.

1) Population increased to 275,000,000
2) Military size increased to 2,000,000 (peacetime) / 8,100,000 (wartime)
3) Maritime boundary increased to 30 nautical miles

[Arnhelm]

I drop my claims to Iran. Too much on my plate right now.

[Hi No Moto]

Some changes to my spreadsheet aswell:

1) Head of Government changed to Prime Minister Shigefumi Mori
2) Maritime Boundary changed to 40 Nautical Miles
3) Population increased to 178 Million.

[Layarteb]

I'll be trying to get to the plethora of RPs I have out there to respond to and my own. Been really busy this past week and now that I have this new graphics card it is a bit difficult. I will do an update tomorrow so remember:

If you have completed your claims and they are not reflected on either the claims list or the spreadsheet there might be a reason for that so this pertains to you. If you claimed with a single post then that's a major reason. RPs for claiming have no definite size requirements but they have to be "of substance" so make it good. If you have done this but haven't informed us, that's another reason. Post the claim you used and say what's done. There's 40+ threads, we can't monitor them all. Is spreadsheet information missing? Until your spreadsheet information is complete, claims aren't awarded. Have you posted an RP for them yet? All claims (save for those traded) require an RP. If you have one post the link otherwise it isn't recognized. Was it a trade? If it was, ALL PARTIES involved must post their affirmation of it.

So on the next update, any thread without a reply for more than 14 days will be removed from the list. If it was a claim RP and there are plenty of them and it's just a shoddy attempt at a claim it's going to be dismissed and the claim removed. This applies to pending AND active members alike. So check the claims list. If you have pending claims, this is an FYI to you. Don't whine next time when you see your claim yanked away. Fair warning!!!

A lot of you got telegrams so if you just ignored them don't whine tomorrow when your pending claims go right back to open claim status.

[Bavin]

Please remove For Whom The Bell Tolls. I'm moving that to Catch Me If You Can, which is being renamed "The Fallen". That one is no longer a claim thread, so could I have that added.
