Margrave Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 The Duchess of Northland spoke against the riots today, venturing into the streets with her armed guard to address the concerns of the people. Voicing concern and support for a peaceful Ireland, she gave comfort to those concerned. *privately* Liselle: "Lord, what shall our stance be on this revolution? I would propose a two-state agreement, but I will not speak in public until you set the course." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would propose a two-state agreement, but I will not speak in public until you set the course." We cannot interfere. They may be our brothers, but we are far removed from their politics. I would say we merely watch this, and only promote peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeVentNoir Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) With the planned increase in infrastructure spending in the short term, a total revision of the borders of the realm was ordered, and it was found that there were several anarchistic territories on the borders of the Realm, and that the international community at large did not recognize, or not know of. Those to be absorbed included Wallis and Futuna, Tuvalu, Norfolk Island, Macquarie island while those not known as official possessions of Greater Aotearoa were the islands and chains of Tokelau, the Cook Islands, and Niue. Official updates would be sent to international cartographers. Small delegations had landed on the islands to be absorbed, and the response was positive, their anarchistic way of life unable to provide enough food for a large workforce, and hence pretty much every aspect of life more advanced than hunter gathering was denied to them. With official recognition as Territories of Glorious Aotearoa, those island chains were marked down on the maps of the Realm.

Sumeragi Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) OOC: LVN, if those islands are not on the provincial border map, I probably wouldn't be adding them in. Edited March 23, 2009 by Sumeragi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeVentNoir Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 With the drafting of a high level treaty between Glorious Aotearoa and the Hansa, control of the currently anarchistic Solomon Islands had been handed from Hansian to Aotearoan hands. A small peacekeeping detachment has been sent there to asses the situation while plans for integration were being constructed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeVentNoir Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 New power collection and distribution network completed. Satellite based 50% efficient solar cell arrays collect sunlight and use high power microwave transmission techniques to beam the power to earth, where it is converted back into electricity. This is expected to enable a large amount of energy to be gathered then sent to where it is needed without expensive transmission networks, especially, with the remoteness of the islands in our territory.

LeVentNoir Posted March 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 With the increase infrastructure needed to maintain the new territories, the completion of systems expansion through these areas, and the microwave power system was brought online so that power could be transmitted to the remote islands. Nuclear plants would continue to supply the high demand main cities. In other news, today the much anticipated Universal Health System came online, with ACC sending its first payment shortly before noon today. And finally, the birth of the thirteen millionth child of Aotearoa was celebrated today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeVentNoir Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) We have recently upgraded our infantry weaponry and BattleNet systems. The RX-377. Weight: ~5kg Calibre: 8mm Tungsten rounds with DU AP tips. Sliding stock Combat sight The is the first use of the metal-storm in a infantry weapon used by our forces. The concept of stacked caseless rounds fired with an electrical pulse allows for a much higher rate of fire to the point where three bullets can be moving down the barrel simultaneously. Another interesting advantage of this system is that the gun's mechanisms are silent, increasing the noise reduction factor of a suppressor. The magazine takes 20 stacks of three bullets for a total of 60 shots per clip and each stack is magnetically drawn up from the magazine, reducing the number of moving parts. The weapon fires 8mm depleted uranium tipped tungsten rounds in single, triple shot burst and full-auto firing modes, with recoil dampeners to keep the powerful kick of the large bullets in check. Each shot travels at close to Mach 3 and can put a three round burst into a 75mm circle at half a kilometre. Standard to the weapon is also the integrated 45mm grenade launcher. This fires a small guided grenade from the lower barrel, with the intention of giving each soldier an effective anti-armour capability. The missiles are loaded one at a time into the small hatch behind the foregrip and fired with the secondary trigger with an effective level-flight range of about 250m when the after ejection rocket is activated. The standard sight for the weapon is a smart reflex sight which can perform as either a rapid acquisition sight or apply digital magnification up to 10x zoom. An UV laser mounted on the front of the weapon is detected and rendered by the scope allowing the soldier to see the beam through the scope while keeping enemies oblivious to the shooter's location. The weapon's construction is a tough yet lightweight nano-engineered composite and the entire assembly including the launcher weighs just under 5kg with empty magazine and launch tube.

OOC: Sargun, when people announce a new thing, people should learn to debate it in the manner of this forum, ie: IC. So, I will respond to IC complaints with IC, and ignore OOC ones. When people use a new thing which will not work assuming it will then its the time for OOC whining. (I'm planning to announce everything from now on...)

Shadowsage Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 OOC: Responding to something IC lends it credibility at least enough to exist. Considering you haven't given any sources, any details, anything aside from "4500 Tech", I will continue to protest OOC. In reality, I'm doing you a favor in the event of withdrawing the weapon; you wouldn't have to Ret-con it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uberstein Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 OOC: The manner of this forum is both OOC and IC. If someone makes something that is impossible, it is best to destroy it OOC instead of legitimizing it by protesting IC. Protesting IC will just lead to the person making it to say IC "It works, and if you continue to complain we will use it on you." Meaning no argument can really happen.

OOC: Why don't you give your sources and stop this all with a few posts. If you had done that, there would be four or five OOC posts, and no argument, instead, you're stalling, saying we need to recognise it or shut up about it. If you have sources, give them, if you have no proof or explanation, it goes down the toilet, and everyone (you excluded) is happy and content. Now, you shut up, and give the possibly nonexistent sources And please, do it, don't just repeat your flawed argument again, it's getting old.

I think the GM's know what THEY are talking about, and I think you need to stop dancing around the fact that you have no evidence for your weapon and simply want to get away with this god mod.

Thats what i am getting at. Do people have some kind of hang up about proving people wrong when the feelings of my imaginary scientists get hurt? If you do prove me wrong, I get to execute some scientists, and thats even more RP! Feel free to rip it to shreds, I will answer every question to the best of my ability, JUST DO IT IN A IC MANNER! For the italics: It's a picture, or a model, plus some broadcast claims. Those exist. The gun may have even have been made. Its legitimate. The question is "does it do what is claimed?" and to answer that, ask questions IC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
