)I ended up watching AVP: Requiem tonight. I decided I didn't enjoy it so much. I would rather watch Aliens vs Preditors vs Symphonus Dex:
I could rush the update without PM's or pictures, and with mistakes, and lose some more sleep, but I think I should do it properly tommorrow!

The challenge makes the hunt all the more satisfying. What is a 'gun' anyway? And wait, how am I speaking like this?

Well, I'd rather you do it properly. I'd also rather you consider slightly more of my orders...I have been in this NES for turns and turns.

I'm fine with it being pushed back a bit more...but as long as this doesn't continue too much.
I personally think that the main contribution to the delays is the deadline not being enforced as much as it should. Sure players have been in the NES since the beginning, but that shouldn't make them exempt from needing to get orders in before the deadline (no offense Thlayli). Should orders not make the deadline, misfortunes should befall that player during the orderless turn. Now, I'm not saying "Oh, Aqua didn't send orders, so half of their units should just disappear!", no...but say that anyone fighting them gets an advantage, or they make less income that turn (3/5 or something)

I'm not saying it doesn't. If stuff is happening, that's a legitimate reason, but you should still say "oh, hey, I have a report to finish" or whatever to give everyone a heads up.

Of course. And I did that.

For the past few times you have missed the deadline? If you did, then I missed them.

Past few times? I missed one deadline, last turn, and this turn requested an extension, after which I turned orders in on Thursday night.
Your whining is getting tiresome. Let it drop.

The Monarchist cause seemed to collapse as Aqua forces pushed eastwards. Heavy tanks overran the Crimson Ghost command post in A9, and captured the remnants of the Royal Palatine Tank Brigade in the process. There were rumours of a breakdown in communication between the Palatines and their allies. Most of the remaining Palatine forces retreated back across the border. At the same time, half of the Crimson Ghost forces - those led by the former-Aqua commander Beshtshot9 - seemed to vanish somewhere amongst the rocky hills of B10. Only the Snipers and Commandos of Commander Qoou kept up the fight, aided by the rough terrain, which as always worked against the Aqua heavy vehicles. Some of the Palatine 'Chocobo Riders' seem to have stayed behind and attached themselves to Crimson Ghost command.
Meanwhile, the Deep Blue faction ceased to exist. Following the disappearance of their shadowy leaders, the surviving Deep Blue troops agreed to rejoin the Aqua army.
Aqua Field Marshall Vertinari now controls most of north-east Soldia. Although, some questions remain over Aqua's loyalty to COBRA - Super Heavy tanks of the Jurghenze-Thelsing Labour Union, Soldia's northern neighbour, remain near Aqua HQ.
Aqua supply convoys have been dispatched to retrieve supplies and weapons captured from both Deep Blue and Crimson Ghost. This is rumoured to be more than $4 in total.
---
The Sturmsoldner Free Company announced the end of its tour of duty with COBRA, and began to withdraw from Soldia - apparently due to a loss of communications with COBRA high command, although the strange and dangerous happenings across Soldia are another likely reason.
The Green uprising was unable to stand against the might of the CGC, whose Stormtroopers and Commandos easily retook the airfield at H9, just it time to support COBRA air attacks against the 'Alien Monstrosity'. The surviving Green rebels retreated back to the jungles of H8, and to the danger of lurking Kangaraptors.
GCG morale was raised further when news came that Commander Tuxedohamm was alive and well, having been evacuated by APC from the SEF warzone.
All signs are that the Green rebellion has failed, although the remnants are still refusing to give up. The Green Speedboat still roams north of GCG HQ.
---
LEF forces kept to the terms of a treaty with COBRA, and retreated from the port city of I3, accompanied by murmurs of international approval. LEF units dig in along the south-west border. However, it seems the SEF (Brown Army) was either not party to the agreement, or deliberately chose to break it - SEF units attacked COBRA forces north of I3, and after some confused fighting, they captured one side of the I5 bridge, along with some COBRA engineer vehicles. The bridge at J4 was fired at and damaged by SEF tanks on the west bank.
COBRA and Gondwanian rocket batteries opened up on SEF positions in response, apparently causing heavy casualties. Gondwanian X-Fighters launched air attacks, but these were disrupted by the SEF Guided Launcher, with the loss of several Gondwanian jets.
Gondwanian ground troops remained close to COBRA HQ. There were even rumours of an imminent withdrawal of the GGEF to counter an advance by the Lenierde Republic, in a new war that was growing to the south of Soldia...
SEF troops retook the remains of the Chaotic Anarchist Giant Battle Robot at H3, and a convoy has arrived to carry off the remaining valuable parts.
---
The main COBRA army, meanwhile, was boldly advancing northwards to engage the Alien Monstrosity head-on, as directed by Grand Field Marshall Thlayli. The COBRA airforce was also in support, though the temporary loss of the airfield at H9 had forced COBRA Heavy Fighters to rebase to Gondwania, and they faced worsening weather conditions when they returned.
Rumours of COBRA nuclear weapons testing in the deserts of Greater Gondwania remain unconfirmed, but there was further evidence of the 'Shield' in use by COBRA forces - now apparently fitted to one of the COBRA Robotanks, which had also been upgraded with special heavy weapons. These fearsome war machines were joined by the re-programmed Battle Robots and a unit of former Space Pirat Light Tanks, advancing from the 'Capitol' across the repaired G6 bridge.
The following scenes would have been unimaginable just a few months earlier, at the start of the war. The high-tech COBRA war machines battled a seething mass of unworldly bio-tech enemies. It is said that individual targets were often hard to pick out amongst the swarm of tentacles. Strange Alien weapons were fired from the 'Monstrosity' and from the stronger Alien 'creatures' on the front lines. But the COBRA Shield held, and the weaker 'creatures' proved susceptible enough to heavy firepower. The Robotanks led the way as COBRA units first captured strange Alien 'buildings' in the jungle of G5, and then retook the ruined airbase at F5, advancing beneath a rain of strange organic debris and fluids leaking from the damaged Monstrosity.
The COBRA Capitol had been in a mild state of panic in anticipation of an Alien attack. It isn't clear if the Aliens retreated or simply changed direction, but either way they turned north-east, away from the Capitol. However the city did receive some Alien weapons fire - though perhaps only in reaction to the CGC Guided Launcher stationed in the city - and volunteers flocked to join the COBRA army in response. Two new Trooper divisions were formed at G7.
COBRA's attack against the Aliens gained support from all across Soldia, as well as from abroad. It also helped COBRA propaganda paint the SEF-LEF forces as 'Alien collaborators'.
The COBRA advance stopped at the F5 airfield. The Alien battle line was reinforced, and Red Crusade forces also joined the battle - Red StuGs fired from the outskirts of city E5, the Crusade's own self-declared Capitol.
Meanwhile, COBRA Trooper units at the D6 refugee camp had faced annihilation until their timely rescue by Helicopter. COBRA Humvees were not so fortunate and had to try their luck getting past Red forces further north. The refugee camp at D6 then fell under Alien control. There are already rumours of horrible atrocities happening there.
Some Alien 'Buildings' apparently withered and 'died' for unknown reasons. But new ones appeared, especially at the site of the former Imperial Capitol and the infamous nuclear explosion at E6.
CGC supply trucks are collecting fallen debris from the Alien Monstrosity.
---
Meanwhile the Red Crusade was occupied fighting both the rebel Orange army and the so-called True Believer faction...
The Believer troops fought stubbornly to defend city E2, but it was futile gesture. No more support was gained for their cause. The Red Amphibious Commando unit under the command of Grand Admiral TerrisH led the attack, while Red Light Tanks closed in from other directions. The defence crumbled soon enough. Surviving Believer troops fled south to the border of SEF territory, but now seem to pose little threat to the Red army.
At the same time, Orange troops braced themselves for an all-out attack on Orange HQ, but instead the Red tanks withdrew southwards, before closing in on the C5 airfield. This was defended by a unit of Medium Tanks, which managed to take out a fair number of the opposing Light Tanks, before being outmanoeuvred and overwhelmed by the more experienced Red tank crews. A few surviving Medium tanks were captured for the Red army. The Reds also captured a convoy of weapons and parts, as the Orange troops had been in the process of dismantling the remaining Interceptors.
Orange troops occupied the hills and mountains of C4, and skirmished with passing Red armor, inflicting a few more losses on them.
Orange morale was raised by the sinking of Grand Admiral TerrisH's flagship. The Missile Boat had grounded for repairs, but was still dangerously close to Orange HQ - although it seems that torpedoes launched from Orange Submarine delivered the killing blow. TerrisH and most of his crew were however able to get ashore and formed up at B3 as a unit of irregular infantry.
The remains of the COBRA Humvee unit were later able to link up with Orange forces, still the unofficial allies of COBRA. A unit of Aqua Armored Cars also remained at Orange HQ. But the defences seem unable to hold out against Red for much longer. The HQ also remains under fire from Red's Heavy Artillery, causing casualties and disrupting operations there.
---
Observers from the Holy Empire of Karamandu have arrived in the COBRA Capitol, and seem very interested in the battle against the Aliens.
Soldia Force, also known as SFOR, also known as the Canbrian Commonwealth Expedition Force, maintains a 'safe haven' at B1.
SEF HQ received a mineral shipment from the G2 Mining Facility without incident.
The COBRA Arms Plant at J6 has produced another batch of heavy weapons, ready to upgrade any unit.
The abandoned Former Space Pirat transport at G8 may be salvageable for parts/supplies, or even fully repairable.
Former Space Pirat Gunships moved to H1 and would seem to be negotiating with the SEF.
It seems the Aliens are able to build underwater. Currently only Submarines, Destroyers and Robotanks (being amphibious) will be able to destroy these.
Strange creatures continue to lurk by land and sea, though some sightings may be explained by the Spring migration season.

DIPLOMACY:
To: Soldia
From: The Great Goddes Arxilzethusa
"To the contemptible villains of COBRA, we simply say that we have not begun to show our true strength. You will pay for your crimes against us.
And to the Holy Red leaders, know that you do not share our grand visions, nor do you show the correct reverence and respect for our cause. And so we have chosen our beloved child-adopt, the warrior-poet Symphonus Dex, to lead our great army of enlightenment.
Now, from this point forward, all those who have Faith in us should come directly to their Great Goddess, and follow the command of her Favourite. We will accept Red commanders, and indeed the commanders of other factions, into our protection as most beloved and reformed children, if they chose to accept certain bodily alterations as a sign of their faith. After all, what is the body but a vessel? We can mould and shape this vessel in more ways than you can imagine...
As for the refugees, those poor sickened starvelings, they will be absorbed into our Great Temple. In time we will grant this great gift to many across Soldia. Hundreds of thousands, even millions of you will know new life within us. You will form the combined essence of our most beloved Children.
We will gather all the unwanted of Soldia into our protection. We will gather those poor mutated creatures of nature that you so abhor, and we will nourish them with our love.
From the scorched ruins of your former capitol, the site of your greatest failure, we will be build a great new city, greater than any seen before in your world.
All the dejected poor, all the mistreated slaves, all those who seek enlightenment, all those who seek a greater life, come to your Goddess and receive her love and her many blessings!
Oh, and if you would like to return those artefacts to us, those things which can never surely belong to you in any case, it would surely gain the favour of your Goddess.
I withdraw now to rest and contemplation."

To: All
From: The Canbrian Commonwealth (western neighbour)
"We are pleased to report that, following great diplomatic effort, a treaty has been provisionally agreed upon by all your neighbours! Now, it is time for you to decide if you will seek peace, or continue the death and destruction...
The treaty will be considered valid if five of the seven following commanders agree to it: Thlayli, Tuxedohamm, Vertinari118, DarthNader, Popcornlord, Bestshot9 and Matt0088.
Until such time, we have declared it illegal to station foreign troops inside Soldia except for the defence of the B1 safe haven. The borders are to be sealed to prevent further spread of 'dangerous elements' from Soldia. Troops from the JTLU will join a mutli-national defence of B1. All other troops will be leaving.
The LEF is no exception, and it is hereby declared illegal. A portion of LEF troops may be allowed to join the SEF provided they are not supplied from abroad. The LEF may also join the proposed International Task Force if the treaty is approved.
Any support of any kind, for the 'Aliens', by anyone in any country or faction, is hereby declared illegal.
We ask that COBRA, or anyone else, consult us before deploying nuclear weapons.
Ongoing hostilities between Lenierde and Greater Gondwania have caused certain complications. And some say that agreement within Soldia is impossible. But we are hopeful that Soldian factions will take steps to end this war. We are open to negotiation on several points, but you must act fast, or our agreements will soon unravel and be meaningless. Our thoughts are with the brave Soldian people..."

As per the orders of the Leneirde Republic, I formally announce the dissolution of the Leneirde Expeditionary Force (LEF). The forces formerly composing of the LEF will withdraw in a disciplined manner to coordinate the return of our current positions to the native SEF forces.
The Republic!

While we admire your efforts to secure peace, we believe that a massive subdivision of Soldia in such a manner would presently undermine the COBRA-CGC effort to reunify the Soldian nation.
We are not averse to peacekeeping troops assisting with the eradication of the alien threat; we are currently preparing further weapons and contingencies to strike a killing blow. We are open to a coalition government with Nationalist forces in the north of Soldia, as our goals are similar.
But we believe that the SEF is at best a rogue, non-Soldian entity working on behalf of mysterious benefactors, and at worst a terrorist, cultist army bent on destroying the Soldian state.
We have CONCRETE evidence proving direct communications and even ALLIANCE between the SEF and the leaders of this vile 'Red Crusade,' the cultist forces that invited extra-planetary aggressors down on our lands. They parrot democratic phrases while they fight an aggressive war against peace and stability. And they will be eliminated, along with the aliens, before peace can come to this land.

What must be done must be done, brothers. We accept the necessity of your withdrawal and will field any volunteer units you offer.
