The Conquest Thread

[Mercator]

Pooh!?! ... I think you may have been fooled by the treacherous Kaladans! The gifts should beariving right about now.
I sent some of our finest bred Mongolian horses, silk gowns, miniature jade figurines, bronze statues, intricate tapestries depicting ancient Mongolian domestic and battle scenes, a royal traditional Mongolian felt tent. And most importantly (for the furthering of our humble culture), a freshly prepared Mongolian meal for the entire court, combined with lavish amounts of airag, our local drink.

[Mercator]

frankychan, I think I can speak for the entire alliance of the Pact of Pacts (including the Eastern European Empire, Greater Finland, Greater Mongolia and Devilmunchkin's paradise) that we would be most glad to accept you among us.
And as far as I'm concerned, you can have New Caledonia as well as Tasmania (and even all of Australia, if Morb's not looking ). I would be glad to arrange for any military assistance you might need.

[devilmunchkin]

franky: hon..i'm everyone's friends. my islands are set up with one purpose:
to be the one place on earth where everyone can vacation and get along. It's like a buddhist heaven

[Frankychan]

Message from Mercator has been received.

Ha ha ha!!! Comrade Mercator greetings! I am aware of a World vs. Finnish plan and wish for the Soviet Alliance to stay out of these affairs. Therefore, all Soviet Alliance members will remain neutral to both sides! But I will pledge my military support to your country since you have granted neutrality in our expansionist affairs!
---
Comrade Devilmunchkin-

It is sad that you do not wish to align yourself with the PRNZ. We have plans to move into Dr. Stilby's New Caledonia, Tazmania, and parts of Morb-controlled Australia. Soviet New Zealand forces hope that you will not become involved in our affairs.
---
***The People's Voice of New Zealand***

FRONT HEADLINE- PRNZ forces are giving Dr. Stilby-aligned New Caledonia one days notice that they will annex this new land due to reported repeated violations of PRNZ territory. Chairman Frank has said to the people:

"Comrades! For too long the forces of Dr. Stilby's New Caledonia have ignored our sovereign territories. For too long have I ignored the people's push for action. I can no longer ignore the cries of my people! Therefore, I am giving Dr. Stilby's New Caledonia fair notice that within one day I will invade his nearest territory! If he does not reply, I will annex this land and incorporate it into the Soviet Socialist Republic of New Zealand!"

Massive troop buildup has commenced and our Soviet forces are awaiting Chairman Frank's command.

[Frankychan]

-BREAKING NEWS-

PRNZ troops have invaded Tasmania in a blitzkreig attack!!! Tasmanian government officials are calling it a travesty but it seems that New Zealand forces are in strict control of Tasmania.

Chairman Frank has called this invasion "A glorious day for the people!" and is declaring Tasmania a territory of the PRNZ!

[History Guy]

King Vlad History Guy watches military parade of troops bound for China when a midget runs up to him crying, "Master, Master, I have a message..."

"Ok, Yeah, what is it?" responds the Eastern European King, stroking his long, pitchfork beard, and thinking to himself 'If I paid a stork to continue stroking my beard, would it no longer be 'stroking' but storking?'

"Here ya go!"

"Here's a sausage, keep the change."

The Response:

Chairman, my Commie comrade:

I'd be delighted to wind up sending you arms for your margaritas...but how's about joining up with us in THE PACT OF ALL PACTS?! Do you feel nuisanced by Tazmanians? Do dolphins give you a scare? The remedy--THE PACT OF ALL PACTS! Yes, folks, and if you join now you each get a hot water bottle with the compliments of King Vlad History Guy. So, how's it sound, my Commie chum? Ready to win, or would you like to sign up with the evil, demented losing side? Think it over!

Signed,
Horrifically yours,
King Vlad History Guy

*BREAKING NEWS*

The Southern Federation has apparently made a successful moon landing. The ships were carrying colonists , security personnel , and some sort of classified material. Sources within the Southern Government which asked not to be mentioned by name , claim it to be a multi megaton multiple-time "laser". The same sources claim that this weapon has infact nothing to do with the ongoing war against terror , and it's main purpetrator , Greater Finland , but a serves a greater purpose , that will surely benefit all mankind ,even the Evil Finlandians, and all of their lackeys.

In other news, Lima pact forces have officially landed in Dr. Stiby's islands in the carrebean. Analists expect that chain of islands to be of immence strategic significance, and don't rule out the construction of a space port, to replace the finely equipped , but ill-located , Gagarin Interstellar Port.

[ranskaldan]

MAP UPDATED

devilmunchkin: I've tentatively named your nation "Paradise Isles", since that's exactly what it is... do you want me to keep it or do you want to change it? (I just find a country called "devilmunchkin" somewhat unsettling. )
oh yeah, about the map, maybe i can email it to you...?

mercator: errrrr...... your territories will be more than half of that of Greater Finland if you gobble up all of Russia. I've only given you Central Asia so that you can sort out the ownership of Russia with kassiopeia.

okay, and the news of course:

In a totally unexpected move, Kaladar troops crossed the Caucasus and blitzkrieged into Southern Russia, making straight for Helsinki. Apparently, as Mongol hordes beat down onto Korea and Kamchatka, Lima Pact commanders have retreated most of the defenders back to ports in South China to cut down losses. Now these newly-saved troops are striking into the heart of Greater Finland, with vengeance in their minds.

In other news, the New Canadian Space Agency have landed and colonized the Jovian Moon of Callisto.

NEWS FLASH!

Pygmy mercenaries working for the Empire of Eastern Europe raid a Kaladarian supply port off Helsinki, kidnapping seventy-four soldiers, two old women, and a poodle. Nine men are said to have been killed in the fighting due to the unexpected explosion of a beached whale that had been fed dynamite by the Europeans. Inside the whale's stomach was a giant squid, and inside the squid's stomach was a minor dolphin official with a note pinned to it's coat reading: "The Eastern Europeans had absolutely nothing to do with this!

Message to Vlad History Guy of the E.E.E.

Greetings! Due to the nature of my surroundings, I must decline your offer of joining the "Pact of All Pacts", I am surrounded by nations that are not friendly to "Pact of All Pact" members. I will sign a non-aggression treaty with the E.E.E. and continue shipments of margarita's and pina colada's to your nation provided you continue shipping me arms and munitions.
I plan on moving into Morb-controlled Australia soon.

Maybe my new Soviet Republic will one day border your lands, perhaps?

***IN OTHER NEWS***

With the threat of PRNZ invasion, Dr. Stiby's control of New Caledonia has been overthrown and has been incorporated into the People's Republic of New Zealand! Chairman Frank had this to say:

"This should let the other nations of the world know that the PRNZ is a force to be reckoned with! The people of New Caledonia will no longer suffer under the evil capitalistic rule of the demented Dr. Stiby! Praise the People's Revolution!"

-------THIS JUST IN!!!--------

PRNZ forces have invaded the United States of "America"! The inhabitants there (a few penguins with machine guns) were no match for the superior might of our Soviet forces! The addition to the United States will make further help PRNZ forces in their attempts to make the "Perfect" margarita!

[ranskaldan]

Aw.... don't invade the USA. I like seeing the words "United States of America" down there.

[Frankychan]

Ok, Then the USA next to my territory will be annexed to the PRNZ.

Is that aiight?

[ranskaldan]

Sure.
Just don't take the whole thing.
I'd hate to see it go... it's like this decoration on the side that cheers us all up.

[Az]

ranskaldan , I think we should sign a new pact , that will widen the commitments , and integration of our two countries, in both on-world , and off world exploration, including the full unification of our space programs, That will be known as the the Phobos Pact.

also, in your map , you haven't recognized my northen pacific possessions.

Pygmy mercenaries working for the Empire of Eastern Europe raid a Kaladarian supply port off Helsinki, kidnapping seventy-four soldiers, two old women, and a poodle.

Vlad, no nukes.

Responding to the barbaric attack by the EEE , David Dalgetti , The President of the Southern Federation, has decided to order Dom Pedro the 2nd, governor of Mars , to launch a motorized assault on the fledgling colony of the murderous EEE on Mars. The attack was said to be under the cover of the Martian night . This furthermore raises the suspicions that some people have had for quite a time that the Southern Federation has learned how to harness Fusion Power.


*THIS JUST IN!*

A huge asteroid is making it's way towards earth. The Southern Federation's Astronomical Service has just issued a a code Red warning , and has warned it's and its allies' earth population to stay at their homes.

Panic is spreading around the globe , with a state of emergency declared around all major cities.

The Southern Federation's officials remain suprizingly calm , despite the grave danger to all civilization . Some cynics have already said that this is due to the fact that chances are that the Asteroid will hit GF territory, but most analists remain confused an bedazzled.

[devilmunchkin]

i like the name, ranskaldan...more universal that way.
this just in: Bruce willis n co go blast that asteroid to hell.
i might have to leave poly forever soon guys. i'll keep you posted. i'll see what i can do.

[Az]

dm: silly , Bruce Willis doesn't exist. .

[Mercator]

Mercator reestablishes his rule over Korea, creates a strong buffer zone in Southe China, deploys his Central Asian troops and a modest Caspian fleet in Kazakhstan and Iran to counter the Kaladan offensive and attack him in the flank and rear.
He also hopes GF and the EEE will join his attack at the front and other flank of the Kaladan offensive. This war shouldn't last long this way, and the Pact of all Pacts may very well take all of the Kaladan land in the Middle East.

i might have to leave poly forever soon guys.

No!

[Az]

why do you leave dm?




a special taskforce of Southern Marines, and a an armored division of the territorial guard, have raided the coast of the caspian sea, and left all harbours ruined. an airborn mission has also destroyed all road and rail links in the mountaineous region of tajikistan , leaving troop transports uneffective. Only minor casualties have been reported on both sides , as the the airborn spec-ops troops have made this an extremely short raid.
Analists expect this mission to halt all Mongolian progress in the ME , especially with Lima pact troops having a big edge now , with the relative immobility of the main mongolian army trapped in Western China. with the forces of Lima Pact members menacing the Governor Zevico with a full invasion, and thus rendering him neutral and unwilling to pass troops through his territory , and The Mongolo-Adenian border being a mountainous hellhole that was rendered totally unpassable with Kaladar airborn engineering destroying all mountain paths .

Officials in the Lima Pact stressed that if the EEE shall be involved, it will suffer a blow not seen since that mars incident.

In other news today:
"Mike Tyson attacked an passer by, Reasoning it :" I was in the mood".
we'll also continue following our story of the month:
"Giant Asteroid that could destroy all humanity - 3 weeks left".

[devilmunchkin]

x out those plans. i'm staying. rooted here. I just may be on a little less when i go to cali....tomorrow! you want to know why, pm me.

dalgetti: i have a people making machine where i can produce this sort of thing at will. That's how i got my bevy of gothic pool boys that surround me and cater to my every whim.

I'm surprised more of you don't visit my tropical island, where we throw out virtual reality and just give you the real thing.

therefore, asteroid has been destroyed armageddon style.

I guess that lives my huge laser to pursue other ... targets in life

NEWS FLASH!

MARS MADNESS MOOPS MICKEY MOUSE

A small missile exploded in the middle of the attack of the Southern Federation on EEE Mars Base 1, killling most of the attackers. The only EEE loss due to the missile was a small Mickey Mouse plastic figurine. King Vlad History Guy promises that "Mars will be ably protected in the future." New security systems and 200 more marines were shuttled up to Mars today. When asked how the King would respond to the evil, downright stinky attack by the Southern Federations, he simply grinned and said, "Hee hee hee...we will be avenged!"

NEWS FLASH!!

GOLLY BEANS!, CRIES EEE SECRETARY OF STATE

Today, a threatening message was received from President Dalgetti of the Southern Federation. In response, the King moves one corps of infantry to the Mongolian front line. He wishes to state that up to this time, there were no EEE troops in with the Mongolians, but this threat from the Southern Federation, which Vlad whittily refers to as 'The Fouthern Sederation', has only brought upon them their worse fears.

NEWS FLASH!!!

NOT AGAIN!? OH WAIT! LOOK! WE WON!

Five minutes ago, three brigades of Southern Federation troops were surrounded and captured, every single man surrendering. Despite an attack on their captors with raddishes (for some reason), the prisoners are now under control. EEE wishes to hold a peace meeting now with the SF, but they say that if the SF doesn't want peace, that's OK too.

NEWS FLASH!!!!

cough . We've already overrun EEE's Mars-1 two days ago , silly.

It's a page or two ago.

President Dalgetti requests Vlad to handle all POWs well, or face a tomahawk in his office. He gently reminds Vlad History Guy that Southern Submarines are deep in the seas of the Duchy of Starlight, and will not hesitate to strike.

Mongolian troops' advance was stopped for a long time nevertheless. Mission Accomplished

[Mercator]

A large army may have been trapped in Western China, but considering I have added Kazakhstan and Iran to my territory only a short while ago, there were plenty of troops stationed around there as well, although mostly spread around the country. These troops included Engineers, to update local infrastructure to the Mongol standard. They'll come in handy for reestablishing the routes to the Mongol heartland.

While transport though the Caucasus may have been made very difficult, the Kazakh troops are still able to progress (although slowly) towards the Kaladan front. Maybe this slowing down actually has a positive effect. Our troops won't come in direct contact with the main attack force but will end up behind it, allowing it to cut Kaladan supply lines and retake any newly conquered territory. This will force the Kaladan troops to turn around and face the Mongolian wrath, unless they intend to get their entire army trapped surrounded behind enemy lines.

Meanwhile, the Iranian branch simply forgets about getting up into Russia, but concentrates on conquering the Middle East, taking several vital airbases, providing the airsupport in Russia, in the process.

Moreover, Zevico is unlikely to be neutral, considering it's only a province of Greater Finland, which simply isn't in the position to declare neutrality. And if it would declare itself neutral, that would effectively be seen as treason, and would promptly be annexed.

Finally, my Caspian navy may be modest, but considering it's an inland sea, part of the GF empire for ages, and only shortly a Kaladan coast, these marines can't have had much heavy artillery. Leaving the Caucasus as is, the fleet turns around and pounds the marines to pulp.

[Drake Tungsten]

Sorry that I've been away for so long, but the real world has put a cramp in my fantasy empire building as of late. I moved off campus for the summer last weekend and then proceeded to have my tonsils and adenoids removed on Monday. I still feel like crap and can't eat solid food, but I figured I should stop in quick and show that Tungstenia is still to be feared...

Thanks to ranskaldan for watching out for my possessions while I was away. You're a good ally and I promise to fight the Finns to the death with you, if need be. I have a horrible internet connection here at my folks house, so I can't download the updated map, but hopefully our plans came to fruition and Kassland is now mine!

frankychan : Since you were nice enough to not claim parts of Tungstenia while I was away, I wish to award you with a membership in the Honolulu Pact. It is the oldest alliance in this fantasy world and one of the most powerful; we own the Pacific and exert worldwide clout through our alliance with the Lima Pact.

Anyway, I probably won't be around much after today. Like I said, the internet connection here is abysmal and I can't really spend the time on the internet that I would like. With this in mind, I leave all of the foreign policy decisions for Tungstenia in the hands of our trusted allies, Dalgetti and Ranskaldan. My mutant, laser-toting sea bass are at your disposal. Please destroy Eli with them...

Later, guys. Have fun.

[Eli]

I allow the ZOG council to decide the future of Eliland and Israel.

[Frankychan]

Thank you Tungsten for allowing me membership into the "Honolulu Pact". I'm sorry that you are not able to continue your leadership of Tungstenia and also wish you the best in your health. I hope you feel better and one day return to Apolyton.

To Kass and History Guy- seeing as how I am now an official member of the Honolulu Pact, I believe our relations will come to an end. However, I will still continue shipments of margarita's and pina colada's if you continue shipping me arms and munitions.

***NOTICE***

Chairman Frank of the People's Republic of New Zealand has just given a state address to the world...let's listen in:

"...And with our new alliance into the Honolulu Pact, I feel that we are ready for our great plan, the People's Plan! I am hereby giving notice to the people of Morb-controlled Australia that Soviet New Zealand forces will invade if their government does not follow our demands:

1. Australia will be effectively cut in half. Eastern Australia will become PRNZ territory. Western Australia will be allowed to be governed by Morb.

2. All Australian resources that would fall into PRNZ territory will remain stationary.

3. Ayer's Rock will be converted into a Soviet listening post."
