((this battle took place on the hull of the CJFS Jade Aerie...yes, Charlie and the Lord Admiral fought in vaccum. Have fun Grae!))

[DisGruntled]

I was just informed the Fed Suns are actually sitting outside the Adder blockade as they were moving into the system and lost init.  Did any of the other FWLN units or other allied nations units move in during C42 as well?  The Adder blockade was never lifted this cycle.

OOC:
FS got here before the Steiner Protectorate

FWL Got here before the Steiner Protectorate

Pretty much everyone got here before the Steiner Protectorate.

When Grae Got here he said people couldn't leave the system. But nothing about the ones in system.


If you care to decide NOW after the entire turn is over to try to oppose people coming into system.

I am prepared to oblige you.

Respond anytime tomorrow with a day and a time, and I will take any day off this week I have to, to accommodate you or your proxy.

To accommodate this absolutely last minute change in the Adders Mind.

Oh yeah.

I expect the Adders to reply on the Trial of Refusal as promised as well.

[GraeGor]

Ok, Im confuzzled

What are the outcomes of the various Trials that have been fought?

[chaosxtreme]

Mech Posession Trial -> FWL+SL

Coventry Posession Trial -> FWL+SL

Trial of Greivances Charile vs Regal -> Charlie

[GraeGor]

Mech Posession Trial -> FWL+SL

darn, I was rather looking forward to some Wraiths and Snakes

Coventry Posession Trial -> FWL+SL

double damn...nah, make that triple damn (1 damn for each Cycle...lol)

Trial of Greivances Charile vs Regal -> Charlie

this could be interesting *evil grin*

Thanks for the info CX

[Daemonknight]

To clairify, it doesnt matter that the FWL and FS arrived before the SP...because the Adders arrived first and setup a Blockade, which the Falcons then joined. And CSA and CJF arrived before everyone else.


So, any forces that were present from last turn will have to take the damage from the trials. Unless you plan on fighting out the blockade run/naval engagement.

[GraeGor]

As to the Mjolnir, Star Colonel, I do not recall a Trial of Refusal being subject to dismissal, such as a Trial of Possession. I would sugest you change your mind, but seeing as how I cannot force you to accept it, I will simply state that my Khan, and yours, shall hear of this if you decide to debase the Founder's will be denying the Lord Admiral his right to challenge your decision."

"He does have the right to challenge my decision, however The Fates have given me the right to refuse or accept his challenge, so though it may diminish my status in the eyes of my Clan, my Khan and my fellow Clansmen, it is still my decision to make."

"Unlike the Lord Admiral who has only the welfare of a few thousand Soldiers to weigh upon soul, I have to put the security, lives, Fates and Fortunes of billions to consider over my personal honor and any personal feelings I may have, and the Mjolnir is fundamental to those tasks. Their well being must take precedence over any impinged honor that I may suffer from what occurs here."

"And for those Warriors, Soldiers and civilians, Clan Star Adder citizens all, I cannot accept his challenge. I do not accept his challenge, and will not accept any challenge for this vessel until The Way directs me otherwise."



"A wise man told me, A good leader does what he thinks is best for his people. A great leader does what he knows is best. Those are the words that I recall before and after every decision I have made, and will make, for as long as The Fates judge myself worthy of my current role within my Clan."

"Do what you must Oathmaster, in the end I must answer to more than just tradition and Khan N'buta, I must also answer to my conscience and The Way."

((OOC: Sorry, i'd love to stay with my Clan homies, but Folkner is a 'by the book' type, and I am not aware of there being any way to back out of a ToR aside from admitting your wrong, in this case, handing it over.))

[ooc: no worries, Charlie is "odd"....a nice way to say a bit looney; and the Falcons would certainly be aware of his idiosyncracies]

Yeah except Dis put Charlie incharge of all Adder forces at Coventry.

And Charlie *points to previous RP* insisted that we draw the bid from all forces in the Coventry System.

[DisGruntled]

As this world was part of the SP and we're running them separate as the GMs, I wanted to let Grae decide how the clan sides over all strategy was going to play out in attempting to retake Coventry.  I never knew until chatting with Fate yesterday that the Federated Suns and possibly others (SLDF I'm looking at you in particular and possibly FWL which is why I asked above) were not inside the blockade.  Just as you denied safcon for naval forces in system, with the forces going to be near equal and with the FWL/SLDF, I had no intention of allowing the two formations to join up if I could help it in case the situation went into the crapper.  If I'd known about it earlier I would have asked earlier.  I'm not trying to get anything done about it now, just trying to sort out info I should know about before going into next cycle.

[GraeGor]

And for the record, while Dis and I submit separate Orders, the SP IS PART of Clan Star Adder...I want that to be perfectly clear and understood.

I wanted to let Grae decide how the clan sides over all strategy was going to play out in attempting to retake Coventry.

I need experience in many aspect of this game yet. When the LC broke, and I was given the list of systems that declared for Charlie, we (Dis, Im and I) were given the option of having one Sheet or Separate, I decided to finally have a go at learning what Dis does behind the scenes...and man did I have questions, just ask Dis, the GMs, CS, Marlin, GreyJaeger, DK, and the others put up with it...I will likely have many more questions in the future


And I still need work on Strategy and Tactics...what may sound like a great idea to me may actually be my Waterloo without input from more experienced players...so while Im a n00b at all this, Stanislav, Charlie, Cassius, Macleod, Jethro and all the other NPCs with Military Experience are not

And I didnt find out the same info until Dis told me sometime yesterday morning, and with Dis being A LOT more familiar with the Rules, he had the obligation to ask about it

Nothing can be done about it now, but it does serve as a learning experience for everyone...as in, if you set up a Blockade, wouldnt you like to know who's inside and who's outside

[NVA]

OOC - There are no SLDF forces at Coventry.

[Daemonknight]

pretty sure the FS or FWL claimed to be flying the SLDF flag...i forget which, but someone said they were.
