VigilVirus Posted November 2, 2002 Posted November 2, 2002 OOC - Yeah, it's not so fun with only 2 people. We need more.To Padishah EmperorThank you, I have received your money. It shall be used to fund Ares.Baron HarkonnenT 156 LNKArden sat in his chair, having just received a response from the Baron:"Emperor has funded Ares, so it will be recreated,SILENCE IS DEAD TO ALL WHO KNOW"Arden smiled. This new system of codes have proven to be unbreakable. This research center has been secret for centuries, and only now has all the funding of it payed off. In the center of the spacedrom several prototype ships. They have been working quite well during testing and soon their time shall come, for the silence has been broken.
Inoculator9 Posted November 2, 2002 Author Posted November 2, 2002 To Earl of Ix From the Padishah Emperor of the Known UniverseThe Baron Harkonnen has no plots against you, cease these actions. The Harkonnen are acting for the good of the Imperium.To Baron HarkonnenFrom the Padishah Emperor of the Known UniverseMy agents have intercepted several phrases being sent to and from Geidi Prime. It is unlikely that you do not know of there nature. Inform of their nature, secretly or otherwise. Funding for the Ares Project will continue but I insist that further information be given.
Dunenewt Posted November 2, 2002 Posted November 2, 2002 I think messages between houses should be hidden with who they are addressed to at the beginning.It's more fun that way
Inoculator9 Posted November 2, 2002 Author Posted November 2, 2002 Then hide the text. The opposing side is honor bound not to look :P. At this point we should be making more direct actions against each other.
VigilVirus Posted November 2, 2002 Posted November 2, 2002 To the Padishah EmperorOf course. Those messages are simply instructed commands for the researchers of Ares. They are in that form to hide them from the spies to disguise the location and actions of the research center to prevent an incident as such with the Atreides spy would not happen again.Baron HarkonnenOOC - btw, how do you hide?
Inoculator9 Posted November 2, 2002 Author Posted November 2, 2002 Good question.To Baron HarkonnenFrom the Padishah Emperor of the Known UniverseMessage recieved, and understood. Tomorrow 100,000 additional shares of CHOAM will be transfered to the Harkonnen accounts. Your service to the Empire will be remembered.
VigilVirus Posted November 2, 2002 Posted November 2, 2002 OOC - man, we really need someone to play Atreides.
Inoculator9 Posted November 2, 2002 Author Posted November 2, 2002 I agree. We need to wait for an Atreides player, so hold up on posts until then.
TMA_1 Posted November 3, 2002 Posted November 3, 2002 okay Ill start on it. You IMed me so it sounds awesome. what house am I under if you would allow me to play?
Inoculator9 Posted November 3, 2002 Author Posted November 3, 2002 Great! I have decided to restart things. The three players are now House Harkonnen, House Atreides, and HOuse Ix. They can ally as the want. TMA you are Atreides.
guusr5644 Posted November 3, 2002 Posted November 3, 2002 OOC - as i dont know what is goin on i quit..as GoldEagle found out he knows a shit he soon tooked his gun and shot himself and lied dead on the floor...
VigilVirus Posted November 3, 2002 Posted November 3, 2002 T 2434 Caladan, Military baseThe Caladan military base was empty except for a few guards and snipers guarding the main unit - the minotaurus manufacturing factory. Everything was quite - not an enemy in sight, but suddenly something incredible happened.A ship laser beam shot out of the sky and hit the manufacturing factory. It blew up into millions of metal scraps. The astonished guards did not know what to do, there was nothing on the radar, and not even a keen-eyed sniper could see anything flying above. Next, the nearby standing barracks were blasted. One by one, almost every building was decimated. The desperate guards at the rocket and machine gun turrets went mad, shooting in mid air, hitting their own ornithopters, that were searching for the hitter, by accident.The attack stopped as unpredictably as it has started. The base was left in ruins.***************************************************************One prototype ship was missing from the LNK shipyard
Inoculator9 Posted November 3, 2002 Author Posted November 3, 2002 Imperial Dropships20 Imperial Dropships hover above Caladan, they slowly descend discharging their cargoe. The Emperor deployed these troops to monitor and protect House Atreides until a formal declaration of war has been made.
VigilVirus Posted November 3, 2002 Posted November 3, 2002 To Padishah emperor of Known Universe,We have received a message from House Atreides incriminatating us in the latest attacks on their homeworld. They have no proof of any animosity of us towards them, on the contrary, we were the ones who cought their agent in our territory.House Harkonnen did not commit those attacks. It was probably the doing of those treacherous Ixians.Project Ares is doing quite well. Your funding has really helped move it through.Baron Harkonnen
Inoculator9 Posted November 3, 2002 Author Posted November 3, 2002 I've decided that if anyone wants to strenghten their case with House Corrino, you can IM me any information or anything you don't want to post.Baron HarkonnenI have no opinion to offer with regards to the Atreides attacker, but House Atreides does not have an effective spy network. House Corrino would appreciate any information you have on the stolen vessel. I have not asked House Atreides for this information, and would prefer not to.I have decided to cut funding to Project Ares in half until I have more details (IM me some info).
TMA_1 Posted November 3, 2002 Posted November 3, 2002 One of the many satraps under the duke came up with an enterprising idea. Our name is almost spotless. We cannot let it be destroyed. The great houses were told of the incident. The Duke, tired of the emperor's maculations, decided to start an embargo under legal constraints in the empire. The Atreides told that any house that followed suit will have extra attention by us.
Inoculator9 Posted November 3, 2002 Author Posted November 3, 2002 To Duke AtreidesI find your recent actions displeasing. I have withdrawn my troops. I have decided to remain neutral in these actions for a time. A declaration of war will soon be issued, I have no doubt of that. The motivations of any parties involved is not yet apparent. I will support the better house. Your business is your own Duke Atreides, my business is everyone.
Dunenewt Posted November 3, 2002 Posted November 3, 2002 To Duke Atreides[hide]We offer our services and will provide anything you require.[/hide]
Inoculator9 Posted November 3, 2002 Author Posted November 3, 2002 To Whom it May ConcernWar between House Harkonnen and House Atreides has been averted by myself. An assembly formed by ten great houses would oppose me. I ask that House Atreides and House Harkonnen's leaders renew their vows of loyalty to me. I will be fortifying several worlds including Geidi Prime and Caladan.At this point you guys can write in attacks and pretty much make everything up. Make everything consistent. We are allies, you can write narratives and descriptions of attacks, and battles.
VigilVirus Posted November 3, 2002 Posted November 3, 2002 OOC - who exactly are we fighting against?
Inoculator9 Posted November 3, 2002 Author Posted November 3, 2002 We are fighting the assembly of ten houses. Here is a list:House OrdosHouse Maros House ThetaHouse MoritaniHouse GrummanHouse RicheseHouse HagalHouse TaligariHouse EcazHouse O'OriaLike I said you can make up battles and attacks, with narratives and descriptions for all of them. Near the end everyone can declare war on each other, but for now I like this style. We are the Empire, they are the Confederation of Houses, or CH. Anyone else can join the empire as any house they want.
TMA_1 Posted November 4, 2002 Posted November 4, 2002 To the most honored and revered lord and master of the known universe: Padisha Emperor Corrino. For the people of the empire I will overlook the treachery that the Harkonnen have committed, albeit for a small time. I sincerely regret, my lord and emperor any mistrust I have caused through my actions. Clearly though with the ordinance I give you, there will be no question of my loyalty towards you. I offer 3 fully loaded Monitors, 300 Frigates, 120 of which are specially equipped for support and surveillance and the other 180 are for medium attack with full backup, repair and standing crew for each ship. I am also sending a 1/4 of my royal air force, which as you know is composed of 4000 ornithopters with the company of my best pilots. For ground forces I will give you two of my best tactical mentats as well as two of my best military advisors as well as 50 of my best army brigades. I hope that this suffices for your attack on these disdainful houses.may the will of the all seeing hand and the great mother be on you, your loyal servant: Duke Atreides
Inoculator9 Posted November 4, 2002 Author Posted November 4, 2002 To Duke AtreidesYour military support is welcomed. I have deployed 4 legions of my Sardaukar to defend Caladan. Kaitan is the most well defended planet in the empire, your presence here would be welcomed, this offer remains open as long as you like. The Guild is forced to provide transport to the enemy so I propose positioning battle fleets near the points were heighliners drop their cargo. This would allow us to destroy them one by one. I suggest you do this. If nothing else they will have to pay bribe money for better drop points. Also I intend to have one of your mentats train several of my own. The military mentats of the Atreides are renowned, more so even then my Sardaukar mentats.
VigilVirus Posted November 4, 2002 Posted November 4, 2002 To Padishah Emperor of Known UniverseYour enemies are my enemies, Sire. I have already launched a full scaled attack on the Houses of Ordos and Richese, the attack shall begin shortly. I also tested out Ares on the houses of Ecaz and Moritani - two mortal enemies, leaving traces of the opposing house at the places of destruction. They are now distrustful of each other and distrust leads to war.Baron Harkonnen
Inoculator9 Posted November 4, 2002 Author Posted November 4, 2002 To Baron HarkonnenI have launched an attack against House O'Oria. They reside near the Bene Tleilaxu, if you can gain their support, the O'Oria will fall easily. I will give the order as soon as you report.
