Aye, true. Pity that we can loose the trader with some well placed snacs as revenge as it occurred a couple of times.

And <lulz> OMG Ivan </lulz> (sorry but your name change from OPG to OMG is epic.) you're right. Why try? As i said, i'm a low lieutenant on the totem pole.
Let the big guys decide it.

Love you all,

//Edit: Zelot, i'm truly feeling like i'm speaking to a wall here. Check my post. All explaining you need is there. I met the GC and Kempeitai unit and rp'ed a little. In not even two or one minute my wing appeared. So no. No we didn't had the need to get a brawl or what if. If you say we needed to have the convoys near us, i can refer you to first part of this post for a little explanation. If you want to discuss this to the point of exhaustion my Skype is kaze.dagon and you can add who you want to the discussion.

' Wrote:I'm sorry, but isn't the CR the Colonial Republic? Meaning that if a leader's decisions aren't generally liked, wouldn't he would be voted out of office next term? So if all the leadership other than the President have an idea about something then it carries a lot of weight.

Just tossing some RP into the mix here.

' Wrote:One little point to nit pick. Seeing above, when you're in Kusari, you are one insignificant little group. The Emperor's word is Law. Refusing to follow it, is the same as flipping the bird at the emperor, there will be lots of consequences.

But you forget that, with all of your obsession over "sovereignty," what we did was perfectly acceptable up until Ame-chan fired upon our ships. EVERYTHING we did was reasonable. We aren't restricted from flying ONE flight of our ships proactively through a nation which cannot defend our convoys adequately, to clear out the buggers. It is, in fact, a good thing for both parties, as we went to clear out pirates, and everyone should be happy about that. That is, every intelligent person should.

Last I checked, an invasion force involves Capital Ships. You, Zelot, should know this by now, as you allegedly RP the Emperor (if I read that correctly) of Kusari, a house currently involved in an offensive war. As such, a few fighters and bombers hunting for outcasts isn't exactly an invasion. It's the equivalent of, to use your sovereignty argument, sending a few armed guards ahead to make sure that the waterways are clear for our tankers. We didn't send tanks and warfleets into your cities -which would be an invasion- nor did we send them into your military bases. We sent a few fighters and a couple of bombers to make sure that the waterways were cleared before we sent our transports through.

If anything, what we did made perfect sense.

The entire issue exists because the character Ame-chan is not fit to command a destroyer, being someone who shoots people for candy, shoots them after she gets candy, and calls others cabbages. This would be alright if she was forced to pilot something more suited to her: A starflea. But she captains a Destroyer, despite the fact that she is not responsible enough to do so.

I admire your arguments. Truly. However, it IS about Ame-chan, because Ame-chan made it about her. She was the one who reported it to the Emperor, if I read the screenshots correctly, running away after SHE shot first. You can't argue sovereignty because Ame-chan didn't care about sovereignty, she was just being immature. She shot first, with no provocation, and when we defended ourselves against HER aggression, she ran to the Emperor like a girl who just got a spanked for being bad. Which she was.

Once more, I admire your attempts at shifting the blame to us. However, that was no invasion fleet, no assault force, sent in to violate Kusari sovereignty. That was what you would call adequate preparation, a squad of soldiers sent in to kill off the guerrilla forces that the local soldiers couldn't kill off.

' Wrote:And we come to the crux of the problem, the CR want to go anywhere then think they need to in Kusari and kill anyone they think they need to in kusari to protect their future transports. I understand that desire, but unfortunately, thats just not the way things work in Kusari. The rest will play out in RP hopefully.

' Wrote:Flying into Kusari to clear out the unlawfuls with no trasport to escort is called hunting for pirates and terrorists. Where in New Tokyo is there an IMG base? It's a thinly veiled masquerade to think that combat ships of any class moving 2-3 systems ahead to clear out pirates is in fact an escorting mission if there aren't even any of your transports about. It's called pirate/terrorist hunting, no sugar coating is gonna deflect that, no Ame-Chan finger pointing is gonna dodge that particular detail. A slip up was long in the process before Ame-Chan's odd RP came into play.
