I originally wrote a lengthy post about this, talking about reasons and all that kinda shit. But honestly, most of it would probably bore people, or they wouldn't care. Suffice to say, aside from this community largely being terrible and lots of shit in the RP making me feel terrible, RL is shitting on me, too.
So, I'm gonna gtfo this place. For good, I hope. Might even delete my nation entirely, not sure about that yet.
I uploaded the Map, and the Mapthread's OP, available at the following links,
Map (180 MB)
Thread OP (260+ lines, glorious BBCode)
If anyone cares, the far more emo and much longer version of this post is here, Click, and for the ones who for some reason want to keep in contact with me, my Skype is kiwetzel.
So, yeah. I'm out.

"Always be wary of any helpful item that weighs less than its operating manual."
Technology always marched on, and it was no different when dealing with Alenium Alloys. New advancements with Harmony technology and specialised control system based on recent findings in quantum technology allowed a much greater speed in creating alloys of all kinds. Using the interaction between Alenium and hard-light shields, the cooling process could be controlled much more easily, in turn permitting faster production of the materials. The nano-scale and in parts even quantum-scale interactions between the material and the cooling technology also permitted preparing it for different roles and shapes practically on the fly.
This process was completely new, with the only one vaguely similar being stamped (or pressed) metal sheets. But in truth, he end result was higher in quality than anything previously made from the alloys, and didn't require previously-finished sheets of the metal. The higher quality alloys even was non-crystalline, making it in all likelihood the best that could possibly be made for the time being - until a new, even better material was discovered, that is. But for now, Alenium alloys were without doubt the best material that could be used for nearly anything that was conceivable, be it armour plates, electronics, or machine parts.

You missed Qatar, Bahrain, Rafah and Khan Yunis, but got Heard & McDonald. Thanks for the update.
Sorry, I read as far as Heard and McDonald and forgot checking the rest. Will add in the next update.
Ye missed New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey and Michigan for my nation.
That's my interpretation of 'minus New England', but then IAT didn't post anything to officially request it in the map thread and you didn't take that land during your DoE, because you were accounting for IAT, I suppose.
you also missed greenland
!@#$I was under the impression that you didn't want to roll in there because it's my protectorate, and you would have to ask me first for it.

You're really trying to argue that knowing just how you divided aircraft is somehow something that can be used to gain an advantage IC?
Also, Lyn still needs to give up the composition of his fleets in the Atlantic.They're all placed in the Atlantic, and if you read my posts, you should know which is where.
Hawaii Command, consisting of 2 Nimitz, 3 modernised Kirov, 3 modernised Ticonderoga, 4 AAVs, 6 Destroyers, 6 Frigates, 9 Corvettes
Trinidad Command, with 2 Nimitz, 3 modernised Kirov, 2 modernised Ticonderoga, 3 AAVs, 5 Destroyers, 5 Frigates, 9 Corvettes.
Belize Command, with 2 Nimitz, 3 modernised Kirov, 3 modernised Ticonderoga, 4 AAVs, 6 Destroyers, 6 Frigates, 9 Corvettes.
Panama Command, with 2 Nimitz, 3 modernised Kirov, 3 modernised Ticonderoga, 3 AAVs, 6 Destroyers, 6 Frigates, 9 Corvettes.
Michoacán Command, with 1 Nimitz, 2 modernised Kirov, 2 modernised Ticonderoga, 3 AAVs, 5 Destroyers, 5 Frigates, 8 Corvettes. -
Update. Should be accurate.

Triyun, you have no idea how satellites actually work, do you? They have a thing called 'Ground Tracks'. It's the imagined path they take that's underneath them, on earth.
If you look at a few examples,
This is the ground track of GPS Satellites. Geosynchronous orbit, aka orbits Earth once every 12 hours.
This is a Molniya Orbit, named after Russian Communications Satellites.
This is the ground track of the ISS, aka a common LEO-type orbit.
And here we have the ground track of a typical MEO orbit.
And this is what a typical Satellite's orbit looks over the course of 24 hours,
The only, only kind of orbit that does not have a ground track looking similar to any of the above is an actual GEO satellite. And there are only relatively few applications for that sort of orbit, say weather satellites, or public communications satellites. But GEO sats are difficult to use far from the equator. Say, high northern latitudes, like Britain. That's because they appear very low over the horizon, requiring much stronger signal strength and whatnot.
Now.
All that said, look at the territories Tikal owns. Bermuda, Hawaii, Thule in Greenland, Tikal itself, Galapagos, Islands west of Brazil, the Falklands, Easter Island, the Aleutian islands. Tikal practically owns an entire hemisphere. If something in orbit passes anywhere near those places, it can be shot down. And any satellite that exists must pass over part of the planet, so Tikal will be able to shoot it down.Concerning MEO and GEO, that's as simple as placing kinetic kill vehicles into the payload of a powerful enough rocket - say a Saturn V or an Ariane 5, something of that sort. Satellites in MEO and GEO are highly predictable in their path, far more so than LEO sats, despite their greater speed. Even if Tikal had to launch a Saturn V for each single satellite you own, it would be possible to do in an inordinately short time - Tikal does have at least 6 launch platforms for such vehicles (as the actual launch mechanisms that I RPd might be claimed to be 'optional' and thereforth be replaced with Cape Canaveral equivalents for the purposes of this RP ).Tikal can shoot everything anyone has down. It has the infrastructure and the resources and the land and the space presence to do so. And right now it's shooting everything Britain has down, which admittedly isn't very much. Or did you RP anything beyond the IG-based sats?As for your complaints about my tomahawks, just go ahead and assume that they don't have optical mixed in. Turns out optical (aka 'DSMAC') is inferior to most, if not all other guidance types.Fake edit: Sorry for the delay. Mother's needs are above your internet-needs. -
provide me with evidence that the same players ALWAYS allying no matter what is healthy to a game environment? I actually wouldn't mind a world in which nobody is forced to interact with anyone else, we can all be whatever the $%&@ we want and only interact if we want to.
I support the bolded. I propose we make that an actual Thing for CNRP2.
It may fuck everything up or it may fix some major issues we have, but I want this to be an official Thing. No more forced interaction of any sort.

Lyn and Mara if you could both query me on IRC, your posts seem to be using stuff that either have movements that make no sense or are using stuff that does not exist in 2014 military tech. If we can get this ironed out I can post up soon.
If you've grievances with my post, give the list to Ty. If he feels that what I wrote is somehow not acceptable, I'll clarify on those after he tells me via PM. I hope that's acceptable to you.
In the meantime, I'll be helping my mother recuperate from her hurt leg, which I [i]really[/i] hope isn't broken or anything. Might not get the chance to get on IRC, hence PMs and what.

Before I answer that in detail, I'd like to know from Ty/Californian whether I have to give my fleet-composition in detail (x destroyers, x carriers, etc), or if giving size (x large, x medium, x small) would be sufficient for the purposes of
>Large troop/naval locations and compositions (such as armies and fleets) should be disclosed when requested.<
considering that to my knowledge Cent didn't RP satellite intel capacities and whatnot in any serious capacity.

Mogar,
The Triple-E Maersk cannot go through the Panama Canal. They're simply too large to fit at the shallow depth of the canal.
The Canal was enlarged in the past to accomodate these ships. Further, I made the Nicaragua Canal, which from its conception was designed to permit them.
-
Oh, one thing I'd like to know from the other side, please.
May I use optionally recognised tech in the RP (If so, only things RPd to date)?
A simple yes or no from each actor would be enough for me. -
Greenland is my protectorate, as per this post - Sorry for not placing it in the thread, I was distracted by other things.
Edit: as you can see, the map OP hasn't been updated since the 1st.

"Now that the issues Tikal had are handled, we happily recognise the USNA to the Americas, and will send money and resources in regular shipments for three months to help kickstart the USNA's economy."
[Classified]
Any troops that Tikal may or may not have had in the USNA's territory would be called back to the homeland.
-
"That is an acceptable compromise. Thank you very much, Governor Crawford. I'm glad this meeting ended on a positive note. As soon as your government ratifies such a policy, I will make a public announcement to recognise your nation."
The Prince stood and walked to shake the Governor's hand. After saying their goodbyes, Crawford and any entourage would be brought back to the plane that had delivered him to Tikal, so he could return home.
-
"Your assurances mean a lot to me, yet regardless I must ask for at least a document in which you officially reject the notion of Manifest Destiny and of expansion. Alternatively, you could give your agreement to permitting the use of this meeting's digital recording for the equivalent of such a document. Usually, the tapes are destroyed one month after a meeting occurred, but in this case, they would be kept as a type of formal agreement. I sincerely hope that this is agreeable for you."

"The Principality welcomes a renewed independent government in the Philippines. May you prosper and ever be in peace."

[OOC: Skipping to meeting.]
Governor Crawford would be received by a small party, mostly guards and a Tikalian representative, whose duty was to bring him to the meeting proper. The journey through the capital was short, and barely fifteen minutes later, he sat on a chair opposite of Tikal's male diarch, Prince Chak Tok Ich'aak, Ajaw ichil Tikal and with many other titles.
"Governor Randall Crawford, I welcome you to Tikal, and I thank you very much for your swift response to our request. If you don't mind, I'll try and make this meeting quick and get right to the issue that concerns Tikal.
"The issue is, does the USNA claim to be a successor of the United States of America? Does the USNA claim Manifest Destiny or may it, at some point in the future, plan to claim it? The last incarnation of the USA tried to resurrect this failed policy, and Tikal had to work hard to protect the independence of other North American states in the face of such aggression and expansionism."To make it short, Tikal would like a guarantee from your state, perhaps in the form of a defensive treaty, that your nation does not seek to expand beyond its current borders without legitimate cause, and that you will not claim Manifest Destiny or anything of the sort. If you can agree to this, then Tikal will gladly recognise the USNA and send aid to help kickstart your economy. Further, we would happily endorse your joining the NWO if you wish to do so. How does this sound?"

You may have claimed it as your protectorate but you've never rped having troops move in to re-establish control after you left the area from when it was new england. As such I'd argue that while you can claim you have a protectorate you don't actually have the means in place to enforce anything. The issue of ic action being required to do something is my issue with this whole thing. On the other hand I'm fine with talking about whatever issues you have here but as far as I can tell there are no tikal troops in the entire area because the only troops deployments I've seen since you left the area before was AFTER we DoE'd. So as far as I'm concerned I shall, respectfully, attend your meeting but I will not recognize tikal troops being present without evidence of previous rp that you have actually moved them there since you last left.
Click me
At the time of that post, iat was to my knowledge already inactive. The latest (only) topic he made as New England is here.Hence I have troops in the protectorate.
-
Tikal has legitimate IC concerns, so please let me engage them in RP, Lyser.
MGL, Tikal has claimed all white land in the Americas as de jure protectorate, so if you would just go along with it for now, please? It's a matter of clearing the issue up that Tikal is concerned about, and then everything's fine.

[Sort of Internal]
In the former protectorate that now two new states claimed for themselves, Tikalian troops prevented large-scale access to weapons stores, citing the need for an agreement between the governments first before permitting access to all stores. For the time being, a total of 50,000 troops of each of the new entities were permitted to equip themselves with small arms. Access to vehicles, aircraft, ships, and heavier armaments such as grenade launchers or anti-air weaponry was denied until the Principality officially recognised the respective state.
Tikal's forces in teach region numbered 30,000, supported by 100 tanks and 5 helicopter squadrons. They worked, as they had in the past, with police forces in local areas to keep the peace and order.
As several decades had passed in Tikal's protectorate, few if any civilians owned anything heavier than hunting rifles or handguns. The gun laws in Tikal's protectorates were different from the laws in Tikal proper, for a reason.
[Internal]
Just in case, Michoacán Command was moved from Hawaii to a Caribbean port.
-
Sort-of-contesting both New England and the USNA for the time being, until certain things have been clarified. ICly, that is.
-
"The Principality's issue with the new states primarily is to guarantee that they will not pursue a 'Manifest Destiny' policy or anything of the sort. In our eyes the concept of the USA has failed and should not be resurrected. Hence why we do not yet recognise either of the two states."

The world shook.
It was such a little thing that initiated the end. So small, practically invisible.
It was a simple experiment, one to see how Harmony technology interacted with Alenium crystals under various circumstances. Setting it up went quickly enough. the reactor was five by two metres from above, and just under 2 metres in height, the rings let into the ground, sort of. Two assemblies with Alenium cores had been set up to 'catch' the majority of the energy. How they reacted to the experiment was closely monitored.
The Core had been tested beforehand, and it was found to be working just perfectly. As a Harmony Core should. The Alenium had been chosen for exceptional purity and capacity. This was needed in order to find out whether the caught energy would be absorbed ideally.
The experiment itself was rather simple otherwise. A small batch of Alenium would be introduced to the Harmony Core itself, dropped in time to evade the three rings keeping the Core properly contained.
"Drop prepared, everything in the green. Drop commences in three, two, one..."
it took under a second for the small crystals to fall.
It took even less time for an entire culture, a nation, a people, and all their technological advancements to blink out of reality - displaced to Elsewhere. A place where no creature could ever follow.
