As an aside, has anyone heard from Raginar (the Concordant player)?  He hasn't been on the board since the 20th.

Last time I talked with him, he said he was extremely busy with work and he was having a hard time finding time to get on and post. Hopefully he will have more spare time in the next few days but if not I will square away the remaining action during the cleanup phase.

That's what worries me

And after that ruling, I'm going to heat up some popcorn, get comfortable, and watch as the Sharkies arrive over Outreach and discuss said ruling from the Sharks viewpoint!!

LOL first step in the Sharks becoming the ilClan?

[chaosxtreme]

ilClan FWL's being on the FWL's fav five.

We aren't to terribly fond of the Goonies in Canon. In FGC I gurantee that when Outreach burn's the FWL will respond by declaring a national holiday.

That will be fun, when the Sharks invade TH territory. that will just go over SO well

[chaosxtreme]

Who's going to complain? Not I said Briar Leaguer.

And well the Star League WILL require a vote. I am certain we can remind the Terran's of how helpful they were when the Federated Sun's invaded us. Not that we are vindictive...oh wait totally are nevermind. :-)

[Daemonknight]

The Star Leauge requires a vote to dispatch the SLDF. Im sure that the other nations of the SL will assist an ally whose been invaded.

So in line with the above, will the SL assist the FWL following the invasion of the League by the Federated Suns?

As an obeserver the SL overall has not been to effective due to the machinations of various members over the course of the game anyways. If the SL actually had worked from the get go there would be no clans in the IS.

Most definitely.  Couldn't agree with you more.  Most nations merely considered it a place to either veto anything good that an ancient enemy might get or as a place to headkick the smaller nations.  To me, it lost a lot of it's luster with the way the Pasig Accords were done.

Before the jump, i was always quite curious as to how the SL didn't just come roflstomp the Falcons(again, as I am told). *shrug* maybe someday it'll be useful

Free Worlds League was preventing it.

We were trying to make the SLDF fully accountable to the council. We had some success in this as well.

The SLDF Commanding General was trying to grow the SLDF's independence at the same time which essentially put us in opposition to one another, and he needed the support of the House's above what the TH was providing him.

He however could never get any House Lord's to agree with him, and he opposed my initiatives on principle (every time he tried to leave the game I tried to absorb his faction (the wolves)).

Thing is we were actually moving in that direction. Coventry was the first step. You had the Combine, FWL, and Federated Sun's working together under SL flag.

Another couple of turn's without a jump I think we would have seen a SLDF fully subordinate and accountable to the Council by virtue of the Council Lord's military success above what the SLDF achieved, A peace with the Clan's as they were very much not working together as well as the DC/FS/FWL (in my opinion anyway) and we had already seen some tentative feeler's from a few Clans.

Mind you the Terran's would have been left out in the cold but I think it is pretty clear that the Clan's were never "REALLY" going for Terra as much as the FWL would have loved for that to happen.

[Daemonknight]

The issue wasn't winning Terra. We could have done that. It's the cost. It would've gutted atleast 2 Toumans, including the Raven Navy. All it would take is one Clan sending forces late, and there wuld be one less GC member when the dust cleared. And most factions were not in major buildup mode like I put CJF into when I came in.
