This is Admiral Shlimazel. I will take all the help I can get, but first, are you land or space based? Warships or tanks?

The deep, inky void of space was penetrated by a white glow, as the Primary Intergalactic Alliance battlegroup under the glorious High Master Bob, undisputed master of untold numbers of people, entered the remote DX-21459 system.

His grand armada consisted of tens of thousands of ships. A good percentage of his personal guard consisted of Laconian ships, upgraded heavily with the technology he discovered during his conquest of the Orion region. His flagship, the most powerful Legion ever constructed, the Ne Cede Malis, sported four of the enhanced disruption beams, as well as enough plasma shocklance turrets and antimatter torpedo launchers to destroy any warship.

His entire fleet had been upgraded to an effective, unified standard. The Terran vessels, while weak compared to their contemporaries, were now effective light attack vessels. The ships of the Tsirilian Imperium made up the remaining portion of his guard, with heavier cruisers and fighters than his own home government of Laconia, though they weren't as devastating as his Legion battleships.

A few of his allies, loyal to him until death, came with him from the Everlasting Order, with their own Inquisitors and assorted light ships. Unfortunately, there were no High Inquisitors, but Ne Cede Malis was a cut above all other battleships anyway; while based on the blueprints of a Legion, it was half again as large, and possessed the most potent firepower in the navy.

The entire ship's functions were controlled by a substantial AI, which kept it intact and all the weapons available for Bob's use. Bob flew the Legion himself, from a 'cockpit' where the normal bridge would be. Large companies of elite shock troops, from Laconia, the Terran government, the Confederation, and the Order were aboard as well, though, along with their equipment, making it far more capable in boarding operations than most ships, despite the reduced need for crew. A combat multiview display gave him all the information he would ever need to know about his fleet.

And it was a truly massive fleet. While it's too large to adequately describe through any amount of text, it was composed of ships, all upgraded, from some of the most influential and effective governments anywhere in any universe. All merged together into one whole, they were simply unstoppable.

High Master Bob was notified by his advance guard the moment something was heard.

"High Master, there's some small disturbances ahead. Like a few children are playing a game."

Bob nodded, and said, "Show me the video feed."

An image popped up right in front of Bob, displaying the disturbance ahead. Some meanly-armed warships, ranging in the hundreds, none of them as substantial as any of his own, were flying around, firing low-grade weaponry at each other.

"How simply pathetic."

With that note, the Intergalactic Alliance fleet, an unquenchable fire of destruction, followed the usual procedure: accelerate to maximum speed, fly through the disturbance as though it wasn't even there, and follow Ne Cede Malis route to the next system.

This simply wasn't worth anyone's time. Why they fought with children's toys, Bob would never know. Certainly none of the forces he'd commanded had been that primitive, even the Stellar Union's. Why, it looked almost as if someone had made up the ships as they went along, without any regard to any form of design.

On that note, Bob's thoughts, arrogant or appropriate, were interrupted by the entry of his fleet into the gentle corridors of hyperspace. Another day for another trip.

I am having bullet proof vests and the utility belts being sent to isword, to his lieutenant, to riddlemaster and to our greatest hope,... and his lieutenant

lieutenant bluejay of the imperial ubercept imperial special ops

Ahem. No super weapons, and no killing other players. You broke both rules. Play nice, please. Nice writing though.

These are the rules.

Both. Our standard division

13,000 Marines
500 Marine command
300 Mercanary upgraded Battle Walkers
500 Mercanary fighters
200 Mercanary upgraded Destroyers
100 Mercanary upgraded Carriers
50 Support ships
1,000 Shock troops.

We have a total of 200,000 other ground troops. We also provide extra crew in the event of extreme causalties, an idea borrowed from Isword.

Riddle, i've pulled back the troops. Shlimazel needs um anyway. Hey, Bob, I don't use kid toys on my ships. We have the most advanced tech you're gonna find anywhere. Diamond coreBlasters, gattling guns, Diamond core pulse lasers, Diamond coer phase cannons, tasers, fighter bays, all kept at near perfect condidion. State of the art engines, you name it, we got it.

query: how big is a division here? and how does it work with squads and companies and brigades and all that crap.

A division is basically a small group of troops. Fighters, vehicles, whatever. If it can fight, it can be included in a division. No Death star size things though. A division in it's simplist terms is a battalion of troops. This battle is getting to be so awesome.

yes I know this, but how big is a standard division. and what are the different sizes of groups. example: Brigade>company>squad.

Well, here there is no set size. Feel free to figure out whatever division sizes you want for your side. You could say a division is 20,000, a regiment is 4,000, a company is 1000, a platoon is 50, and a squad is 10. That's just a suggestion though.

Shlimazel, on Nov 10 2007, 05:53 PM, said:

and a skirmish is any whole number between 20-40 cause you wont want the head of my old lieutenant

I gotta go to the base in cairo see what its like, be back within an hour

My divisions don't have a set size at all. GUIN are around 60,000, Gaia force 3-40,000 S7UIA 50,000, it changes. My line of thinking is " A divisions a division and that's that."

This is Admiral Shlimazel! Gaia mercs, you are hired. Your first task is to target the peanut farms. You'll get a bonus for every slave you rescue.

Fleet, push forward! Divert power to weapons and give it to Cosmic with everything we've got! We must acheive victory!

Okay, I've got to go now. I'll be back tomorrow.

ATT natives, remember; If you want to join, just follow the rules and everything will be fine.

Thank you kindly sir. We will be setting off to raid that dang cockatiels peanut farms momemtarily. We're waiting on a shipment of blaster crystals and Bio lasers from Isword. I think it fair that due to your monumental kindness that we later negotiate a lower original hiring price. Commander Farid out.

------------------------------------------
Isword here, I've gotten your message Admiral and am deploying my forces now to intercept Cosmic.

Those rules are silly. You all fight without any capacity to win and if someone does win, you declare him ineligible to win. On the other hand...

The trillions of ATT civilians, trained ninjas all of them, infiltrate the military regiments of all combatants and garrotte all of the rank-and-file military types with simple piano wire, confiscating, but leaving unharmed all military tech, and leaving the declared characters alone and holding whatever rank they please. Their flagships and bases are entirely unharmed despite being completely bereft of life (except for the declared characters, of course) and held by the ATT civilians. Being undifferentiated and unled, the entire body of ATT civilian ninjas consist of a single declared character and, thus, they cannot be harmed per the rules of the game. They are entirely unarmed except for the simple piano wire and presumably some simple mechanism for harmlessly boarding any and all varieties of vehicles, and their only protection is the rules of the game, which, of course, make them invincible. They are unaffiliated with any group, they form a single will, and they exist as a resistence force only whilst fighting continues in the ATT.

So let's see, characters are all alive, have their ranks, their bases/flagships are unharmed, and my character consists of a mass of poorly armed individuals who have already infiltrated every vessel of every other character, killed everyone that the rules will allow to be killed, and are in control the entire military capacity of the world. Looks like I'm within the rules and this battle is over.



-Pufer

but . . . I have ninjas too.

w/e

A standard division of fighters for me consists of:

10,000 shinobi class fighters

9,000 of which are ashigaru fighters.

750 of which are ninjato light support craft.

250 of which are ninjutsu-zukai 'sylph' stealth scouts.

each ashigaru is crewed by two ninja, ninjatos by 4 and, sylphs by 1.

Nope. Dead.

-Pufer

That's just cheap. If your gonna be annoying go take it elsewhere. Unlike you, we actually are interested in continuing this. *Shoots Pufer with a bio-pistol* Ha, dead. Conjures a mysterious Necromancer and resurrects everyone.

Pufer doesn't count. He's being all cheatish. We're actually having fun doing this and are trying to make it fun. I'm gonna start a new topic for this if necessary.

Admiral Robert C. Jackson of the Militia Against Dictators (or M.A.D.) orders all units to retreat to a remote barren world, called simply MX-802-15. Currently our forces consist of 200 special ops units, all dual-wielding automatic rifles, with personell cloaking. *units begin building facilities underground*

If you get to invade our forum with exclusionary and very unATT-like games, then I should think that we should be able to invade your games to exploit large holes in your game's rules (or change the topic, which is what we've tried at least three times to do).

Seriously though, games have never made out here unless they are completely random. If people don't like your stuff elsewhere, they send it to the ATT to die (or at least to get transformed into something completely different). Games like this was what the voids were good at, but the ATT is not a void. Above all, the ATT is a (albeit small) community. You want to fire up some sort of game, join the community and then make the game given the way the community works (see Word Association Football, that's an ATT game). Showing up saying, "We're new here, we're controlling the discourse, this is the topic, you can come in if you'd like but follow our rules." doesn't fly here. Hell, we don't listen to the rules when one of us makes a topic.

The rules say that my character is invincible, not me (really seems kinda silly given the char is unprotected except for piano wire). This entire game rests on a godmodded principle.

You'd think so, wouldn't you. But, alas, I'm pretty well within the rules. I also have a large and annoying, but very pretty, flag, which is more than can be said about any of you guys.
