The Furians request that the War games be played in North America or Europe.
I would like to offer my services to simulating the war games. I cant do mine as it would be biased but I wouldnt mind doing other games.
Give me something to do.... PLEASE!! I have no court dates for two weeks and I am bored as heck.

I don't have a problem with it. How would you propose to simulate them? By giving orders on a set map? Or through some sort of game?
Even I can't be 100% unbiased. When picking the FIFA teams, it's hard not to just bag Kalia the best team out there and watch the fun. Rest assured though, everything will be peachy with Football

I figured I would do it through orders to give everyone a fair chance. I will pick a location and let the teams know and give them 2 days to hand in their orders and work it out then post a story about it.
I am assuming that there is 4-5 teams as far as I know?

I think it's everyone except Ascendants and Wrath, actually. I could be wrong.
I like the idea though. If you're willing to put in the time, then go for it. I'll let you know when War Games rolls around as an event (probably one of the first)

Rules
1: All teams must have 1,000 infantry and 500 tanks.
2: You may bring in more infantry at the cost of losing tanks. 100 infantry per 10 tanks. (Same goes for tanks for Infantry.)
3: Every game will be a capture the flag type, each team will haul their colors flag up and defend their flag as well as try to capture the other team's flag.
4: No air force or plane support will be allowed in the fights.
5: To make the games fair, all teams that have weapons tech higher than their oppenents team has must bring the same weapon types. (I will try to match the same weapon type with the same weapon type so you wont have to do this.)
6: The Victors will advance while the losers will be eliminated and sent home.
7: No outside help. (includes spies.)
Object of game is to capture the enemy flag while protecting your own. Anything goes, splitting troops, keeping reinforcements behind to bring in at crucial moments, anything. Minus bringing in outside help.
If there is anything you feel that needs to be added please let me know.
And also could the teams that are joining PM me with their numbers and weapons level so I can organize them into groups.

to USC, IGG.
We wish to issue a warrant for the apprehension of the members of the Starcraft team "R0xy C475". they have manage to wipe our Pre-selection tournament results, though we managed to save several hard-copies. they were last seen at the Spaceport and are suspected to have fled to Sol. We also request the USC step up computer security around the games, as they are sure to try and hack their way into the games.

The Spill - Athletic News Weekly
Confederate Athletic Report
We here at The Spill feel that it is only fair for you foreigners who are visiting Kalia or who will be viewing the Interstellar Galactic Games be given the full scoop on the history of Kalian Athletics. Therefore, we present to you a brief synopsis of the Confederations sports.
As the orchestraters of the games, Kalia has high expectations placed upon it as a competitor in the games. Having been richly steeped in military simulation games, Kali Corp made a regular practice of keeping those under its domain, be they employees or just residents, healthy and happy. Many leagues had naturally been opened, laying the foundation for solid athletic ability today. In the poor sectors, Football has always been a favorite sport, being played in the streets with nothing but a ball of rags when the situation demanded. It is a sport of the people.
However, the athleticism bestowed upon the Confederates by Kali Corp is not fully balanced, and Kalias relatively low population in relation to say, The Emergents, provides it with a much smaller talent pool from which to draw. An overview of the national teams which will be participating in the games is as follows:
Gyro-Hockey: Relatively new to the sport, the Confederation is still getting used to the game. It has never had a league in such a field, but the athletes-in-training feel marginally competent, perhaps due to their general fitness and talent in the other sports from which they were drawn.
Hide and Pounce: Not too far a cry from the team versions of Kalian dueling, a team has been cobbled together from hand-to-hand duelists, who are learning to work together and have been in intensive training since the games announcement.
Tennis: The sport of corporate executives, who happen to have generally been wiped out by the Scourge, Kalia does not show much promise in this category. The single exception might be Richie Smentz, who is somewhat of a prodigy, but has yet to be tested outside of the streets.
Furian Football: Kalia is, yet again, new to this sport and is coping to the best of its ability. Its relative similarities to American Football and Rugby mean that most of the players are of Scottish or American ancestry. It is hard to determine how well they will fare in this brutal contact sport.
Baseball: Common in Kalia, the baseball league has been alive for many years, thriving despite harsh times. Currently, the Tal Justices are the cup holders, with a seasonal record of 14-2-2. They are closely followed by the Kalianna Eagles, who were defeated in the semifinals by what many consider a bad call. None of the other teams come anywhere close in talent, they have dominated the league for the past six years. There has been talk of merging the two rival times to form an all star team to send to the IGG should the Eagles and Justices be able to settle their differences. The other (more likely) option is to have a game between the two to determine which will represent the Confederation at Sol.
Basketball: Yet another popular Sol sport, basketball has been going strong since the end of the Scourge, and the local leagues profit more than all the theatres in Kalianna combined. An all-star team is being assembled to represent Kalia.
European Football: The pride of Kalianna City, the Munich Elites have been undefeated and the uncontested champions of Kalia Football since the Club was formed in 2 AS. They are considered a powerhouse and a favorite among betters, and representing Kalias most popular sport, they have every right to be proud of what they have done.
Kalian Dueling: An estimated 78 contestants from Kalia have met the high Kalian qualifications for the games, however only 30 will be allowed to go. These masters of their craft are currently training for a free-for-all face-off to determine which will go and which will stay. Kalian duelists are strong in all categories, but if a weakness had to be selected it would be close-combat.
Solar Yachting: Rik Svenson, current Kalia cup holder, has been selected to headline the Kalian racing delegation to the IGG. He will be accompanied by teammates Jon Yttar and Erik Bridgeton.
Uberathalon: Kalias planetary climates are more temperate than most, therefore lacking enough good extreme weather locations for any large amount of skill in either the mountain climbing or skiing sections of the race. However, the sheer existence of multiple core worlds in the system warrants that the varied climate will provide good enough training locations.
Biathlon: *see Uberathalon
Track and Field: Popular among students, track and field competitions have been a healthy way to escape the educational monotony of university. A moderately skilled team is being sent to represent Kalia.
Cross-Country Skiing and Freestyle Snowboarding: While not blessed with excellent slopes or snowy terrain, a fairly well trained group of individuals has been selected, and is expected to do at least moderately well, although it is generally expected that the skiers nor snowboarders will be able to overcome their Hurisian counterparts.
Ice Skating: Not the most popular sport in the Confederation, racing and dance skating both have a cult following, and Nikita Vissaronavich is the crowd favorite dancer.
Starcraft: The ever-popular and immortal Star Craft has a large following in Kalia, due to its surprisingly large Korean population. The team selected to attend, known only as W3_pWn_n00Bz, won the fiercely contested finals tournament by a landslide, and is a favorite in the games. However, the five member team does not expect victory to be easy, with other fierce competitors in the running.
Overall, the Kalian teams look promising, and the entire population of Kalia looks forward to the games with much anticipation and a surprising amount of national pride. Emerald Eagle flags can be seen everywhere, and a parade is slated for next Thursday. The games look promising indeed.

I built the facilities, so I would happen to know where they're located. If you want direct answers, you should PM me.
The ceremonial facilities were constructed in Iceland. The rest are distributed more or less evenly across the other continents depending on security and climate suitability to promote global growth.
Actually, given combat reports from the initial invasion, North America and Europe are the most populous remaining regions on Earth. Then again, Japan at least does presumably have at least some people left. Prior to my reconstruction efforts however, Earth was the only populated body in the system.

TO: Nekomi
CC: Wideband
FROM: United Systems Commonwealth
The criticism of the Nekomi of the efforts of the U.S.C. in the establishment of rule of law in Sol system frankly strike the government of the U.S.C. as hypocritical and selfish in light of the earlier charity on the part of the Nekomi given to Sol--charity we would note which, since the intervention of the U.S.C. in that system, has ceased. It is not our intention to sway Sol. Our goal is the foundation of that system as a stable and productive entity. Whether our selfless efforts in bringing it to that stage endear its us to its people and convince them that we are a worthy and just government which they feel they should join is not our opinion to hold, but theirs. We will not, in any event, cease our efforts to help the people of Earth and the new fledgling colonies of Mars simply because the prospect of them choosing U.S.C. membership in the upcoming elections disturbs the Nekomi. Indeed, we find such a request shameful, and of the utmost selfishness.
We will also not take any responsibility for the situation in which the Nekomi now find themselves regarding the Barnard system and the difficulty of reinforcing that location given our declaration of our intent to guard Sol against all military forces. It is true that the Nekomi dispatched a colony vessel to that system prior to the liberation of Sol from the corrupt forces of the U.P.N.C.S., but the colony itself was not founded until after those events and our declaration. In the regard of being put into a situation which confers a strategic disadvantage, the Nekomi have no one to blame but themselves, and we will not compromise our principles or be moved to abandon those individuals whom we have elected to take responsibility for because of such a blunder on the part of another faction.
On the matter of an alliance:
"It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it; for let me not be understood as capable of patronizing infidelity to existing engagements. I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best policy. I repeat it, therefore, let those engagements be observed in their genuine sense. But, in my opinion, it is unnecessary and would be unwise to extend them."
- George Washington's Farewell Address, September 19, 1796; Datalinks
We cannot in good faith sign any binding agreement as regards military action with a faction that for no responsible or rational reason committed to an attack upon the people or government of Epsilon Eridani. We have heard the Nekomi reasons for war, and have heard them take credit for the current government body of the U.S.C. coming into being as a result of their actions, and we are impressed by neither. We will not be entangled in such a relationship that might facilitate similar such hostilities and would mandate our cooperation in them.
In the event of an attack on ourselves, we will defend ourselves to the utmost and call upon all just civilizations to recognize our danger and to come to our aide. In the event of an attack upon another, we will endeavor to determine the cause of conflict, and to resolve which side is the more just and righteous in its actions, and it is to their side that we will come to the aide of. We have no need for alliances.
If it is the intention of the Nekomi government to send further discourse in a vein as this and with similar offensiveness in its statements and requests, we ask that they refrain from sending it at all. Thank you for your time, and good day.
Sincerely,
Secretary of State Adlai M. Parker

Actually, that was intended as a way of conducting wargames without harm, not to participate remotely. Remote participation sort of ruins the point of having a specific world host the games, and the signals could be "fixed" on the way, so the teams should probably stand in neighboring arenas.Whatever happened to that holograph idea of yours?
Since most of us should have it by now (will check momentarily)...
EDIT: DAH and Colonials don't. They could trade for it this coming turn, or we'll just have to wait until their athletes get to the games I suppose...

Just a reminder to all factions involved, The sooner you can get your War Games teams in the sooner I can get groups established and the games started.
You do not have to give me your orders, just give me your numbers, stated in the rules a few posts above, and weapons level. Once I get the groups together I will post who is fighting who and what the terrian will be, then you can send orders.
