:lol: :lol: :lol:

Hail Results, Emperor of Machinery. yeah it is kinda catchy :p
 
Summary of an fun chatNES Thlayli is running.:)

Rules:
- Each territory produces $2 normally, less when occupied to any degree.
- Can scrap units for half price.
- Capital is blue square; if capital your capital is taken you automatically lose $1 in income.
- Unit movement is vague.
- Unit Costs/Map Icon/General Vague Characteristic:
  • Infantry - $1 – Black Dot – Cheap General Purpose
  • Artillery - $3 – Green Dot – Defense/Support
  • Light Tank - $5 – Blue Dot – Anti-Artillery/Infantry
  • Heavy Tank -$7 – Red Dot – Dominates
  • Transport - $1 – White Dot[In Water] – Hold 2 Inf or 1 Inf and 1 non-Inf
  • Battleship - $3 – Black Dot[In Water] – Mobile Artillery (limited range obviously)
  • Fighter - $2 – White Dot - $2 RESEARCH COST – Shreds Inf, Can’t Capture Territory on own

Purple - Owen (through update2) -> Ken (update3)
Brown - Conehead
Green - Theige

UPDATE ZERO:
quickbattlenes.png


[00:27:50] <%Thlayli> matt has one island terrain, one coastal terrain in the middle, and one economically lucrative rainforest terrain
[00:28:17] <%Thlayli> kraz has desert in the north, hilly coastline in the west, and plains in the east
[00:28:40] <%Thlayli> purple has mountains in the north, plains in the middle, and nice temperate coastline in the south
[00:29:25] <%Thlayli> green has forests in the east, mountains in the middle, and grasslands in the west
[00:29:51] <%Thlayli> brown has rugged hills in the south, a nice river valley in the middle, and temperate coastline in the north


UPDATE ONE:
quickbattlenes1.png

[00:35:16] <%Thlayli> First part of update ONE:
[00:35:47] <%Thlayli> WAR! The dastardly chinese-mexican Mejicans have planned a war to capture the rich grasslands of central Lentilia, Matt's dudes!
[00:35:53] <%Thlayli> But Matt's dudes have prepared a counterattack!
[00:36:03] <%Thlayli> The Yellow forces swarm across the northern border, and they make some headway!
[00:36:16] <%Thlayli> Unfortunately for them the Lentilians have left most of their troops to guard against just this!
[00:36:24] <%Thlayli> So there is a bit of a stalemate after losing a bit of territory
[00:36:34] <%Thlayli> The Lentilians, however, have planned a counterattack of their own!
[00:36:51] <%Thlayli> With a powerful new battleship and some transports, they drop off two infantry on Kraz's coastlines!
[00:36:58] <%Thlayli> He has left only one pitiful dude to defend this
[00:37:12] <%Thlayli> And so some of the coastline is lost, but not much cause it's a pretty small territory
[00:37:17] <%Thlayli> The naval superiority helps though!

[00:39:45] <%Thlayli> Update Part Two: HOLY :):):):)
[00:40:01] <%Thlayli> In the south, Owen's Purple Dudes enjoy relaxing and not generally causing much harm!
[00:40:25] <%Thlayli> The Glyndwrian Army is deployed to the northern mountain passes to observe the Great Northern Conflict!
[00:40:36] <%Thlayli> Unfortunately, they declined to protect their core coastal territory!
[00:40:48] <%Thlayli> This territory was cruelly violated by the army of the dastardly ecotopians!
[00:41:04] <%Thlayli> And soon, the capital of Welshia is UNDER THREAT BY THE HEAVY TANK REGIMENTS OF THE THEIGEIST ECOTOPIANS
[00:41:22] <%Thlayli> Green forces have advanced well into the core of Owen's territory, and a conscript regiment has risen up to defend against this!
[00:41:53] <%Thlayli> Unfortunately Owen will soon be reduced to basically those dudes from Braveheart stuck up in the mountains unless he figures something out and fast!

[00:43:11] <%Thlayli> Part Three: OH BUT WAIT...
[00:43:33] <%Thlayli> This cowardly invasion activates the mutual defense pact between the Glyndwrians and the Coneheadian EMPIRE
[00:43:52] <%Thlayli> Coneheadian forces begin a double envelopment to attack the advancing Ecotopian Army!
[00:44:29] <%Thlayli> And the vast ecotopian forces swallow up conehead's advancing troops, which still manage to occupy a lot of it!

INCOME:
[00:48:11] <%Thlayli> owen, you get 5$
[00:48:23] <%Thlayli> theige you get 6$
[00:48:26] <%Thlayli> coney you get 7$
[00:48:32] <%Thlayli> matt you get 6$
[00:48:46] <%Thlayli> kraz you get 6$

UPDATE TWO:
quickbattlenes2.png

[01:01:39] <%Thlayli> SUMMARY OF THE GREAT SOUTHERN CONFLICT
[01:02:12] <%Thlayli> THE WELSH GLYNDWERIANS DESPARATELY RALLY UNITS FROM THEIR PEOPLE TO PUSH BACK THE ECOTOPIAN ASSAULT ON THE CAPITAL
[01:02:31] <%Thlayli> THE ECOTOPIAN ARMY HAS POWERFUL TANKS, BUT AFTER PROBING THE CAPITAL THEY REALIZE THEIR SUPPLY LINES ARE ABOUT TO GET CUT OFF
[01:02:45] <%Thlayli> BECAUSE THE CONEHEADIAN ARMY INVADED THEIR CENTRAL PROVINCE ESSENTIALLY UNOPPOSED!
[01:02:49] <%Thlayli> SO THEY GO :):):):) THAT AND WITHDRAW
[01:03:10] <%Thlayli> HOWEVER THE ECOTOPIAN HEAVY TANKS ARE A BEAST AND DESTROY LIKE TONS OF OWEN AND CONEHEAD'S UNITS
[01:03:48] <%Thlayli> HOWEVER, THE ECOTOPIANS ALSO LAUNCHED A SECONDARY ATTACK
[01:03:59] <%Thlayli> THEY BUILT A TRANSPORT AND SOME GUYS AND STEALTHED CONEY'S CAPITAL!?
[01:04:11] <%Thlayli> SO THE BROWN CAPITAL FALLS AND THE BROWN DUDES ARE TOTALLY IN DISARRAY
[01:04:42] <%Thlayli> BOTH BROWN AND GREEN GET SOME PARTISANS
[01:04:54] <%Thlayli> AS THINGS STAND THE GREEN SOUTHERN ARMY IS TOTALLY EXHAUSTED AND ALMOST CUT OFF
[01:05:02] <%Thlayli> BUT IT'S STILL PRETTY BADASS
[01:05:40] <%Thlayli> AND DESPITE LOSING THEIR CAPITAL THEY TOOK MOST OF THE CENTRAL GREEN PROVINCE SO CONEY DOESN'T LOSE THAT MUCH CASH MONEY
[01:06:29] <%Thlayli> THE WELSH KEEP THEIR LARGE NORTHERN ARMY OMINOUSLY IN THE MOUNTAINS AND ARE BASICALLY SITTING PRETTY

[01:14:40] <Thlayli> THE GREAT NORTHERN CONFLICT:
[01:15:00] <Thlayli> THE REDTONIANS OF LENTILIA BELONGING TO MATT BEGIN WITH A STAGED WITHDRAWAL FROM THE ONLY THING THEY ACTUALLY CAPTURED
[01:15:19] <Thlayli> BUT NOT TO THE KRAZTATORSHIP WHICH WASN'T PLANNING TO RECONQUER IT ACTUALLY
[01:15:35] <Thlayli> THE MEJICANS IN FACT PREPARED A STRONG FORTIFIED POSITION
[01:15:42] <Thlayli> AND THEY HAPPILY REOCCUPIED THEIR PROVINCE
[01:15:49] <Thlayli> HOWEVER, THE LENTILIANS BROUGHT OUT SOME LIGHT TANKS
[01:16:07] <Thlayli> WHICH KILLED TONS OF KRAZ'S DUDES AND PUSHED THEM ALMOST OUT OF THE CENTRAL PROVINCE
[01:16:15] <Thlayli> BUT NOT ENTIRELY BECAUSE AS SAID BEFORE THEY WERE BASICALLY ON THE DEFENSE
[01:16:44] <Thlayli> EXCEPT IN MATT'S EASTERN PROVINCE WHERE SOME CRAZY INFANTRY DIVISIONS CAPTURED A LOT OF JUNGLE AND SOME DIAMOND MINES

INCOME:
[01:22:10] <%Thlayli> theige gets 5$
[01:22:19] <%Thlayli> coney gets 6$
[01:23:33] <%Thlayli> MATT HAAAAS
[01:23:45] <%Thlayli> 5$
[01:23:57] <%Thlayli> AND KRAZ HAS 7$
[01:45:55] <+Kentharu> uh how much moneys do i have
[01:46:21] <%Thlayli> you will have 6$

[01:27:27] <%Thlayli> THE PURPLE COUNTRY OF OWENTOPIA ANNOUNCES
[01:27:39] <%Thlayli> THAT IT IS WITHDRAWING FROM THE CONFLICT WITH THEIGE
[01:27:51] <%Thlayli> AND ANY COUNTRY THAT PAYS IT 10$ WILL GET ITS FULL ALLIANCE

UPDATE THREE:
quickbattlenes3.png

[01:46:29] <%Thlayli> THE GREAT SOUTHERN CONFLICT:
[01:46:45] <%Thlayli> BASICALLY, OWEN'S WELSHTOPIANS GOT THOSE WEIRD GREEN GUYS OUT SO THEY PEACE AND WITHDRAW
[01:47:10] <%Thlayli> RECOGNIZING THIS AND THE LOSS OF THEIR CAPITAL, CONEY'S EASTERN ARMY WITHDRAWS FROM THE EASTERN PROVINCE OF THE ECOTOPIANS
[01:47:28] <%Thlayli> THEY SEND THESE FORCES NORTH, AND THEY RAPIDLY BESIEGE THEIR OLD CAPITAL
[01:47:45] <%Thlayli> THE ECOTOPIAN NORTHERN ARMY IS IN DIRE STRAITS BUT IT HOLDS ON TO CONEY CAPITAL FOR NOW
[01:48:21] <%Thlayli> IN THE SOUTH, THE HEAVY TANK CONTINUES TO BE AWESOME AND RECONQUERS ALL OF THE EASTERN PROVINCE AND SPEARHEADS INTO SOUTHERN CONEHEADIA
[01:49:51] <%Thlayli> ANYHOW, THE ECOTOPIANS INVEST IN A :):):):) TON OF GUYS TO PROTECT THEIR CAPITAL
[01:50:03] <%Thlayli> WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE A GOOD PLAN AS CONEHEAD INVESTED IN SOME LIGHT TANKS TO CAPTURE IT
[01:50:11] <%Thlayli> THE LIGHT TANKS KILL A GOOD NUMBER OF THEIGE'S DUDES
[01:50:16] <%Thlayli> BUT THEY HAVEN'T CAPTURED HIS CAPITAL YET
[01:50:40] <%Thlayli> SO NOW TWO CAPITALS ARE UNDER THREAT BY THE CONEHEADIANS, BUT THEIGE'S EASTERN ARMY CONTINUES TO WIN VICTORIES
[01:50:45] <%Thlayli> THE WAR HANGS IN THE BALANCE!

[01:57:51] <%Thlayli> THE GREAT NORTHERN CONFLICT:
[01:58:11] <%Thlayli> AGAIN, BOTH SIDES ESSENTIALLY TRY TO PUMMEL EACH OTHER IN THE CENTER, BUT BOTH SIDES UNVEIL NEW WEAPONS!
[01:58:38] <%Thlayli> THE LENTILIANS DISCOVER SOMEHOW TO THROW STUFF UP IN THE SKY AND MAKE IT STAY THERE
[01:58:44] <@Kraznij> DUDE FIGHTERS
[01:58:50] <@Kraznij> I HEARD THOSE WERE GOOD AGAINST LAND FORCES
[01:58:52] <@Kraznij> WAIT WHAT
[01:58:52] <%Thlayli> AND THE CHINKOMEXICANS BASICALLY GET HEAVY TANKS
[01:59:04] <%Thlayli> IN THE EAST, CONFUSING JUNGLE FIGHTING IS CONFUSING
[01:59:27] <%Thlayli> HOWEVER THE ADDITION OF THIS FIGHTER LETS THE LENTILIANS STRAFE A TON OF ENCIRCLING MEJICAN DUDES
[01:59:33] <%Thlayli> SO A LOT OF TERRITORY IS REGAINED THERE
[02:00:23] <%Thlayli> IN THE CENTER, THE NUMERICAL ADVANTAGE AND AIR SUPERIORITY OF THE LENTILIANS ALLOWS THEM TO PUSH NORTH AS WELL
[02:00:30] <%Thlayli> HOWEVER, AS SOON AS THEY GET INTO KRAZ'S TERRITORY
[02:00:40] <%Thlayli> KRAZ'S HEAVY TANK WIPES THE FLOOR WITH MATT'S PANSY ASS LIGHT TANK
[02:00:51] <%Thlayli> AND BLOWS IT UP IN A COOL EXPLOSION
[02:01:22] <%Thlayli> SO NOW ESSENTIALLY BOTH SIDES ARE FAIRLY DECIMATED WITH MINOR TERRITORIAL EXCHANGES HAVING OCCURED

INCOME:
[02:08:41] <%Thlayli> coney gets 5$
[02:08:51] <%Thlayli> kenny gets 6$
[02:09:08] <%Thlayli> theige gets 5$
[02:09:34] <%Thlayli> I lied, matt gets 6$
[02:09:49] <%Thlayli> kraz also gets ^$

:salute:

<Thlayli>: 1$ for inf, 2$ for artillery, 5$ for basic armor
<Thlayli>: fighters and bombers can be researched each for 5$
<conehead>: put my captial in the middle somewhere
<Thlayli>: heavy tanks can be researched for 7$
<Thlayli>: naval units, transports are 1$, battlecruisers are 3$
<Thlayli>: aircraft carriers are researchable for 5$, needs fighters first
<Cull>: once you research air and heavy tanks, how much do they cost?
<NK>: capital on the north coast next to the bay
<Thlayli>: fighters 4$, bombers 5$, heavy tanks 7$
<NK>: do carriers come with their own fighters?
<Matt>: subs and destroyers?
<Cull>: capital in the south coast next to the bay
<Shadowbound>: Bury the green capital DEEP IN SIBARIA
<Thlayli>: sorry, subs and destroyers will also be researchable

<Thlayli>: yes, dark blue is matt, purple is masada, orange is NK, yellow is conehead, green is shadowbound, gray is kentharu, dark purple is cull

ICONS

<Thlayli>: for those who are just joining us, icon colors are thus
<Thlayli>: black dot = inf, green dot = art, blue dot = basic tank
<Thlayli>: white dot = fighter, purple dot = bomber
<Matt>: we'll have a bit more naval icons
<Thlayli>: on sea, black dot = battlecruiser, white dot = transport, dark blue dot will equal sub, green dot will equal aircraft carrier, and that's it
<Thlayli>: oh yeah
<Thlayli>: purple dot will equal destroyer
<Thlayli>: assuming those get researched

Reminds me a lot of that little NES I ran on chat that one time but without the kinks in it.
 
I guess alliances and similar agreements mean just as little in ChatNESes as they do regularly. :(
 
So, guesses as to what has happened to EQ?
 
And that's the end of session 2 for tonight guys. Reconvene on Saturday night!

Cull - 2.032$ (accrued interest)
Matt - 6$ (Vassal of Shadowbound - 5$ integration cost)
Shadowbound - 22$
Kentharu - 12$
Conehead - 18$
NK (NPC) - 18$
Masada - 19$

The 'Gorbashov' line irks me much more than it should. :p

Also:

GalaxyNES- No Horizons

Welcome, my friends, to a story of a most grand scope. An epic tale of the stars- or to be precise, of the creatures who once lived their lives in orbit around them. However, to these stars they are tethered no longer.

These are entities of stupendous and mind-boggling variety, many of whom might even struggle to recognize each other as beings in of themselves. However, all of them share an incredibly rare and powerful gift- intelligence- and within them it manifests in many radically different forms.

These are the beings who have escaped the fetters of their collective homeworlds to seek their destinies amongst the boundless stars. Some plot to expand and conquer, others seek to explore and discover&#8230; and some have motivations entirely beyond our own comprehensions.

This is their story, as each of these species stride towards their destinies in a universe of No Horizons.

Seize the Night Sky.
