  1. Happy Birthday to us It looks like we're getting old. It was one year ago that a battered set of former Terminus Est members - along with a handful of friends, noobs and camp followers - all ventured out into the wildness to form a new alliance- the Knights Templar. Since then, the Knights Templar have grown from a circus look-alike band into a serious, prospering community. Sitting well within the top 10, and having done so for many months, the Knights Templar have experienced a little bit of everything. Through the good times and the bad, the brothers and sisters of the Knights Templar have always stood shoulder to shoulder with each other. We are our own happy community, and the future is bright for us. We would like to thank The Commonwealth, Seven Kingdoms, Advanced Idea Mechanics and Zeon for their support and friendship, as well as former allies for all the good times we had together. We would also like to thank all our other friends, supporters, and frenemies for being there for us. It's been a great year, and we are sure there will be much more to come. Deus Vult! *Credits to Thalmor for the awesome picture *Apologies to Orbis for this not being another Lordaeron announcement

  2. On mobile so short post. I've seen a surprising number of people say that they spend to much time playing this game and/or on Discord, and that it's hurting school performance. I would like to send a PSA saying that it's okay to take a break. Your alliance won't explode if you take a weekend off. Shit, if it does, then maybe it deserves to blow up. Yes, yes, yes, P&W > IRL, but at the end of the day you can't keep playing P&W if playing this game messes up your IRL stuff so your internet gets cut off. So... take a break.

  8. I'll admit, I spend quite a bit of time checking P&W, the forums and Discord while sitting in class. But if I wasn't distracting myself with P&W, I'd probably just find something else to serve the same purpose (usually Supremacy 1914 and reading news) so P&W isn't really the problem. If you find that P&W and/or other distractions are worsening your performance in school (or at work for that matter), you gotta check your priorities and you have to make a committed decision to increase said performance and eliminate the distractions. If you don't really need your computer for a class, don't bring it. If your phone keeps blowing up, disconnect it from the internet or shut it off. The easy part is making the decision to do these things, the difficult part is actually sticking by those decisions. Ironically, I'm typing this while sitting in class and I have no idea what's going on. Don't be me, kids.

  16. For those of you who wish to become a part of the Roleplaying community here on the National Affairs subforum of Politics & War, this is the thread within which you should apply! Current map (updated as of 03/05/18) Are you a new member to P&W, looking to try out some roleplaying? Or are you already a seasoned roleplayer, looking to develop his/her skills in RPing? Well, all I can say is that with this post, I hope to establish a friendly, low-drama roleplaying environment for those among us who have an interest in roleplaying out our nation's actions. Whether you're an experienced roleplayer, or completely new and inexperienced to roleplaying, allow me to say that I'll do my best as your OP to be friendly and accepting of every High-quality player. High quality roleplay and constructive world-building are encouraged. For in-depth roleplay (multiple paragraphs, extensive posts) you should make your posts and threads here. For more natural roleplay not directly associated with your in-game nation and less restrictions, you should make your posts and threads here. For casual roleplay, the National Affairs subforum itself should do. (However, this does not mean that you are free to do as you please in the National Affairs subforum. It will still be moderated, as it is meant for in-character posts and interactions.) (Note of interest: Several members of our roleplaying community have based their nations or leaders upon those inspired from anime and other fictional sources. This is perfectly acceptable so long as your roleplay is constructive and well-intentioned. However, this style of roleplay does not give you an advantage in terms of wars, or anything. Similarly, you cannot use it as an excuse to develop incredibly advanced technology in short periods of time, as it is unfair to those who put much time and effort into their roleplay. You're free to be as creative as you like, so long as it is within the rules. This is to avoid Godmodding and OP posts.) Interested in joining? Don't be shy, and fill out the application below. Even if you choose not to reply in this thread, you're free to make use of the subforum. This is merely a thread within which we can see who has, and who hasn't, read the thread's specific rules and accepted them. *Before applying, be sure to read the rules of the National Affairs subforum here, and the rules for the map itself here.* If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on Discord (LelouchViBritannia#6219) or on the forums.

  23. Prime Minister Chauve spoke to the rising class of the Napoleonic School of Space on Earth. The age of empires is above us gentlemen. The galaxy is here for the taking, but those whom we share these paths with will one day betray us. We must learn like our fathers did that we must never rely on our allies. We cast our gaze out onto the stars, looking back at Earth with the glimpse of hope that one day your journeys across the galaxy will bring our people a new future. We take the boots of our forefathers as they trekked the swamps of the new world as they wondered the desolate plains of the Midwest. We are the explores of today, and we will be the spark of hope for the future. As you proceed to join the French Imperial Naval Forces, you will meet races never connived before, you will discover planets of magnificent beauty, and you will fight battles on ash planets, you will fight for the integrity of not only France but for Earth. You are our golden shield against the threats we face. Viva la France, Viva la Rouyame, Viva l’armee d’Espace, et Viva la Marine Spatial. Admiral Picket of the French Space Navy led The Prime Minister and her protection unit onto the V.S.F. Kara Zor-El. “Prime Minister Chauve, welcome to the V.S.F. Kara Zor-El. This was the last ship to be commissioned by President Korczak, and we thought you would do us the honor of farewell to the crew of the Zor-El.” The Prime Minister exhaled, “Thank you Admiral. I would be honored too.” Laura walked with Admiral Picket and the officer corp of the Spatial Marine and the Armee de l’espace to the forum chambers. The V.S.F. Kara Zor-El was the Navies largest and most advance ship. Equipped with Turbo-lasers, Quad-lasers, Ion Canons, and Plasma Shields with a Warp Core. The Ship was operated by 3,000 Naval Personnel, with a compliment of 300 Pilots and 5,600 Ground Troops. It would escort the V.S.F. Kal-El from Port to the United Nations Space Command on Reach where the UNSC Triumvirate were located. "The Kara Zor-El holds special pride for the French Armed Forces. It was the last ship, to be commissioned by President Korczak. While we remember her, we hold her wishes of a French empire across the stars closer. We hold in our hearts as we continue to strive for that goal. We hold it dearly as we battle through the voids of space for our future, a future only we can inscribe. Today I wish off a valiant crew and the triumvirate of the French UNSC Task Force Xiaver Rousseau as he joins the Ottomans and Resorians on Reach. Hold fast the honor we hold dear, and hold tightly the bonds you have formed. Long live this republic, and long live the Kara Zor-El." His Majesty King Felix met with Governor-General Brian Williams of Belgium in a handover ceremony between French and Belgian authorities. The move effectively placed control of British Belgium under French Control. Switzerland has been annexed as apart of the Crown Mandate with Geneva and Bern major French-speaking regions being incorporated in the United Kingdoms.

  24. Custodi fraternitatis, unitatis ut pupillam oculi tui or translated to our language, Guard Brotherhood and unity like the pupil of your own eye. This is a saying of the communist yugoslavs translated to the Medical Language also known as Latin. The so called dead language. We, the Ottomans do not have to not talk in Turkish only, Every language is a language of many peoples, loved by many and it exists for a purpose and we won't forbid for it to be not talked but we encourage it! Yes you must know Turkish but the more languages you now the more you are worth. The Kosovars and Bosnians from Sandžak are under SoE defence as these two areas were known to be in war and to feel genocide many times without being able to fight back. Now as the Ottomans are back at these Two we have ensured their protection, and with the Sandžak conquest , we have established the Bosian Eyalet , the Bosnian Political Provincial Entity of the Ottoman Empire and it will go from The Unsko Sanski canton to the Sandžak but this time it won't fall to genocide but under a prosporous protection of the Ottomans. with those peaceful expansions and the people feeling safety from neighbors, the Sultan would visit Priština , Kosovo to see the battlefield and the current Fortifications being built. And at the centre of Priština he would hold a speech, and so the day has come, he was being escorted to the centre and the Population have welcomed him with roses , cheers and confetti. He put his right fist together and raised it to a salute position. "Welcome brothers. You were the ones whom have spilt blood to ensure a new and bright future, and you have only gotten hate and death back. The River of Neretva was filled with blood back in '43 , same goes for the Sutjetska. Now , in this short segment I am directing to the population of Serbia and Bosnia. Relase your children from morning class, so they can see the hungry workers! The workers that work for little pay and will continue to do so to ensure a safe future for their Kids but because of the politicians , because of people like these, our kids cannot afford a living. I have come to reignite the fury of Yugoslavia, the many scientists that are ready to present their experiments without a fear of being broke! The Children that bright futures are awaiting them with a guaranteed job and those workers won't be hungry, belive me. I will see what happens after this, will there be someone who will stand up to the Corrupt regime in these countries and do what is better for them and more importantly , for their kids. Now something odd. Talking to the Kosovar Population, BROTHERS! Do you recognize this man?" a war criminal from the kosovo war was presented right next to the Sultan with him not being tied and the Sultans hands being behind his back. He would put a hand on the criminals shoulder and he'd gesture him to tell them while the Kosovar Population was in fear. The Criminal Stuttered "I... I am sorry for all this pain we have brought to you. I have done mine and I am paying for it now but I do regret it, regret it to the fullest that I have missed a chance of living as a free man with a happy family and being ensured a workplace. And regular holidays... I am just sorry." he shed a tear and went on his knees having a breakdown. "We have turned a Fearless Criminal into a regretful human. I think this won't be your appeasement brothers but the sentence of him will be shortened. I am aware that he would not even deserve death as the penalty would be too mild, and even though he was a monster that lead to many deaths, he was and is a human, he did what he was ordered to. And from the many books and other ways of getting information, I have learned that some people do deserve a second chance and that they are not to blame with a messed up first chance. But There is something else I know well. You can count on us! Many think we are going the wrong path as we listen to records and we play rock but I tell you what I know well. You can count on us!"

  25. Establishment of V-18 Radar Station V-18 radars are the next generation of Chinese early-warning radar, providing long distance monitoring of airspace against missiles attack, aircraft monitoring, and space reconnaissance. The V-18 radars are described as highly prefabricated meaning that they have a set up time of days rather than months and need fewer personnel than previous generations. They are also modular so that a radar can be brought into operation whilst being incomplete. There will be 8 radar stations to cover and protect the Chinese airspace and this system will be integrated to the National Aerospace Defense Command (NADC) on the Fenghui Mountain Military Complex. These radars could detect objects up to 20,000 km and the V-18 radars could provide a specific detail of objects on range up to 10,000 km. No. built : 8 operational as of 2017 Type : Phased array Early-warning radar Frequency : V18-M : 150–200 MHz (VHF) V18-DM : 0.1 m wavelength (UHF) Range : Up to 20,000 km Power : 0.7 MW consumption Launching of KR-55 Mobile Electronic Warfare System The KR-55 MEW is a mobile, ground-based, electronic warfare (EW) system. This system is produced by the China Defense Technology Corporation on different wheeled platforms. The KR-55’s primary targets are airborne radio-electronics (such as UAVs), airborne systems guided by radar, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles defense and even communications system. The KR-55 has multiple applications in the People’s Liberation Army and the technology could be installed on J-18, J-35 aircrafts or even a battleships. The KR-55 broadband multifunctional jamming station is mounted on a ZKZ-6910-022 four-axle-chassis. the KR-55 counters AWACS and other airborne radar systems. The Krasukha-4 has the range for effectively disrupting low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites and can cause permanent damage to targeted radio or electronic devices. Ground based radars are also a viable target for the KR-55. The KR-55 is effective on range up to 1,000 km. Multiplying the Numbers and Capabilities of Ballistic Missiles and its Defense Ballistic missiles are the main strategic capabilities of the PLA Rocket Force. The PLA Rocket Force is intended to multiple the numbers of Tactical Ballistic Missiles from 2,300 into 9,400 (about 4 times more). About 2,500 of them will be put on strategic arsenal which could be deployed for first-strike use. The PLA Rocket Force will also guaranteed that these missiles could survive and able for retaliation strike as they are hidden on very secret Underground Facilities. PLA Rocket Force will also increase the largest yield of nuclear arsenal from 10 MT into 50 MT. While increasing the offensive capabilities, the People’s Liberation Army is also working to increase its defensive capabilities. An integrated aerospace defense system under a single command of Joint Command for Aerospace Defense / National Aerospace Defense Command is established. The JCAD/NADC will operate five Aerospace Defense systems which consist of: 1. Boost/ascent defense segment Which consists of space-based tactical directed energy laser and airborne laser system. 2. Midcourse defense segment Which consists of Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle, Ground Based Interceptors, Ground Based Midcourse Defense, and YJ-10 VLS sea based Missile Defense system. 3. Terminal defense segment Which consists of YJ-3 Extended Range missile defense system, Zhongguo High Altitude Air Defense system (ZHAAD), and YJ-600 SAM missile system which ranged up to 900 km. Building Up Cruise Missiles The People’s Liberation Army built several new types of cruise missiles as part of modernization doctrine. The cruise missiles are intended to strengthen the battle capabilities of People’s Liberation Army. These cruise missiles acquired better stealth technology, faster speeds, further range and higher explosion. 1. CH-750; range 3,000 km to 5,000 km, speed up to Mach 5, and 1 MT thermonuclear yield 2. CH-950; range 3,500 km, speed up to Mach 6, 1 MT thermonuclear yield. It is intended for Anti Ship Missile 3. CH-700; range 500 km, speed up to Mach 3, 500 kt Nuclear yield. It is intended for Air-to-surface missile 4. CR-100; range 182,000 km, speed up to Mach 0.3, 100 kt Nuclear yield (carries 16 warheads). Development of Status-6 Multipurpose Oceanic System The Status-6 MOS, is a nuclear-powered and nuclear-armed unmanned underwater vehicle by the PLA Navy. It would supposedly be able to deliver a thermonuclear cobalt bomb of up to 100 megatonnes against enemy's naval ports and coastal cities. This weapon is designed to create a tsunami wave up to 500 m tall that will radioactively contaminate a wide area on an enemy coasts with cobalt-60, and to be immune to anti-missile defense systems such as anti-ballistic missiles, laser weapons and railguns that might disable an ICBM or a SLBM. The Type 032 Submarines are able to carry 6 warheads of Status-6. It appears to be a torpedo-shaped robotic mini-submarine, that can travel at speeds of 200 km/h (100 kn). With a range of 10,000 km (6,200 mi) and a depth maximum of 2,000 m (3,300 ft). This underwater drone is cloaked by stealth technology to elude acoustic tracking devices.

  29. Iron war of succession When the snow falls and the white winds blow the lone wolf dies but the pack survives (OOC: Takes place over a years period of time) The United Kingdom's so they called it. United...was a severe understatement. The Kingdoms of the empire had long vied for control over the throne. To name themselves Iron King...As the British Empire attempted to hold onto its dwindling control the domestic sphere, the revolutionaries in France had inspired some to take up arms against the crown. Ned Stark, the hero of Winterfell and praised former lord of edinburg declared themselves independent of the crown and began what would be called the Iron war of succession. The conflict had begun as a small insurgency in the eyes of the crown. The territories of the North had rebelled time and time again, but their underestimation of Winterfell and their influence on towns across the ‘north’. Years of battling and casualties in the thousands had forced British Troops already tired from conflict in France, Bermuda, and Belgium to collapse and become encircled at the Battle of Cardiff. On that fateful day, Lord Stark had captured 5,000 Royalist Troops, two entire tank regiments, a logistical battalion, and an attack helicopter regiment. The battle of Cardiff would signal a turning point in the stalemate. Moral declined rapidly as Lord Stark marched on British Defensive lines. As the victories grew, the North Eastern realms remained independent from the North, declaring their independence from England. They would become the Vale. In time too, as Lord Stark and his revolutionaries marched on London, the East would declare their independence. Riverrun was established as the East frantically realized the Crown had lost the conflict. Just south, Casterly Rock, The Reach and Dorne, The Stormlands, and Crownlands would be carved up into separate kingdoms. The seven kingdoms were re-established under the terms of surrender in London. As battle ravaged the city, the city was left in ruins when finally Garrison Commander Sir Edward Wellington surrendered his Citadel defenses to Lord Stark. The monarch had retreated to Crownlands and with it, the North would dominate the political carving of The Kingdoms. King's Landing had become the new capital of the Seven Kingdoms with each kingdom being led by a single lord. Over time, the politics of the kingdom were dominated by the North and the South. Even though both served as a single entity of the Seven Kingdoms, the Crownlands and South formed the rival United Kingdom to the North's attempted dominance. What was left of the United Kingdom flet to Ireland renamed to Essos. The United Kingdoms of the Crown had held meager control of Belgium, Bermuda, and Essos. While their leadership over the isles of britannia had become trifled, the sun was yet to set upon the new emergence of the House of Stark as they consolidated control of the isles and poised their spears at Belgium and Essos. The North: The Kingdoms in what was once called Scotland and Wales became the collectivity known as the North. With The Vale, Riverune, and Iron Islands all pledging allegiance to the Lord of Winterfell and His gratefulness Ned of House Stark; King of the North. His Grace, King Ned Stark, King in the North The population of the North gave it a significant advantage in their continued skirmishes with the South. Control of Westeros also embedded their political control of the Seven Kingdoms. Their resources and population advantage however was mitigated by lack of equipment and holding no real legitimacy of lands they owned. Rather based on vassility and lordship did they hold allegiance of the Kingdoms of the North. The South: The monarch and much of the remnants of the British Army, Air Force, and Navy regrouped and joined the Southern regions. The Kingdoms of the South were made up of Crown Land, Stormland, Dorne, the Reach, and Casterly Rock. Under their reformed leadership, many lived in greater prosperity in the South than they had in the North causing even more tension as heavier political and military power was weighed by the South. His Grace, King Joffrey Baratheon, King of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros The South had a major advantage over the North. While much of the British Armed Forces was damaged or destroyed during the Iron War of Succession, what was left was mass produced by the South with both monetary and leadership advantages. Their lack of population was buffed with their experienced army leadership, devoured military command structure, and veterans of the Iron War of Succession. Holding control of legitimacy for Westeros, their rule has only become threatened with rebellious Ned Stark’s vision for a new Seven Kingdoms...under his control. With both sides mounting their forces ready to attack, a ticking time bomb ready to go off. Time will tell who will Iron Throne of Westeros, but as time has shown; the victories are the writers of history. When you play the Game of Thrones. You win, or you die. There is no middle ground.

  30. A New King Rises Kynlo took over Lordaeron a few months back, sadly he started going to college and needs to focus on it, so he can be productive in life someday (possibly), for me unfortunately there's no hope of having a productive life, so i agreed this. As of earlier today i have taken over as High King of Lordaeron, Kynlo has stepped down to Archmage. I have had a great time in PnW so far and met some awesome and some not so awesome people and am looking forward to continuing my journey.

  31. If only you had the intelligence needed, you could ride in on your white horse, with your shining white armor, and crush these evil bigoted racists with cold hard facts and evidence straight from your superior brain, forcing them to question their entire value system, probably solving world hunger and curing cancer too. Then you could stand above us all, soaking in the praises of your unlimited virtue. But alas, lacking the required mental capacity for such an endeavor, you can do nothing but retreat into the typical progressive intellectual argument, "Omgurd racism omgurd". Truly the hero no one needed nor deserved.

And our friends that are moderating the OWF have already expressed feeling that they don't care about anonymity. I'm all for dropping that rule altogether for Forum Mods. Or at least make it optional.
