You fully realize I don't have the time or energy to devote to sorting through your garbage, right? I got tired of that trying to roleplay with Chadd and Xilen.
Don't accuse me of god moding and cheating and then refuse to read my follow ups or complain at me about my point of view.
But let me set one thing straight, which you know full well but continue to press since you seem to think it makes you sound smarter than you actually are.
Can you make a single post without resorting to flame baiting?
The situations at Tholatin and Farquak are completely different from the one at Abregado-rae.
The only significant difference is that this time you are the one who has to suffer the repercussions.
We both know this - that you continue to bring them up does little to build a case for you.
Perhaps in your eyes.
Farquak continues because there are no OOC issues.
All OOC problems were solved or a ruling was made by the staff. I gave you four days to post. You neglected this. You have been far more harsh to the Galactic Coalition.
There are here, yet you continue to post. Tholatin, I am in no way dictating his actions. I am merely informing him that his citizens are dead as a result of the two square kilometre area that has been levelled.
Wrong. You're telling him his citizens can't have had security measures, you're telling him his citizens are enraged or disgusted by Kamon's actions, you're telling him he can't have blocked the area off (which is the most logical thing to have happened) because you want pictures taken.
You told Arden that his people were going to be rebelling and there was nothing he could do about it.
No, Ralen, you have not destroyed "most" of my forces, and you are by no means "mostly" in control of the planet.
Yes, I really am, deal with it.
Your fleet carries a few thousand soldiers at best, not more than 100 000 (though I don't have time to calculate).
And your planet now contains even less than that.
Are you telling me that your forces are spread so thin as to put a garrison in every city on the planet?
Nope, I'm saying my forces have set up bunkers in the outlying cities around the capitol - the rest having been wiped pretty much clean through air and space raids. I don't have time to dig it up but if you read throughout canon such attacks are quite powerful.
And you yourself stated that you dd not have a strong military presence there to begin with.
You go on to contradict yourself. You target only military structures - yet "most" of the defenders are dead?
Yes I fail to see the ridiculousness in this, unless you're implying that in order to destroy a military I have to kill civilians.
I don't know where you get your battle tactics from.
But wait! They're not sitting in military bases waiting to die!
Unless they're hiding in civilian tracts of land.
So either you're actively destroying entire residential blocks in order to destroy my soldiers, or you've not destroyed a fraction of them.
Umm. That made absolutely no sense Drayson. Are you telling me your soldiers are hiding inside civilian houses? (You know, the ones evacuated after my warning?)
Keep in mind that this is not trench warfare, this is gurrella tactics.
Remember however, the cities were more or less evacuated after oh about my secondish post?
I just happen to have a larger force behind it.
Had.
But then again this is just as you say to Kamon "Saying after the fact OOC instead of IC".
Even assuming that "the majority" of the defenders are militia, and there are somewhere around ten million militia (a low estimate from a population of roughly one billion),
I seem to remember that you said in your own IC thread that there were barely a billion people - especially because Abregado-rae was ruled by such a strict and harsh regime before the Outer Rim Sovereignty took it over. That was, of course, your biggest flaw.
ORS was a walk in the part compared to the totalitarians who ran it before. But little matter, it's not like you've treated them any better. Regardless, your "militia" lines broke, your Imperial army personnel are falling, and the planet is, more or less, in my control.
If you had responded in the alloted times with more than "Well my militia kick your ass" or "Major Devell is a very cool guy" then perhaps you would not be in this mess.
and another 10% of Imperial Army, that's one million Army - far more than you can field yourself.
You stated yourself there were very very very little Imperial army personnel at all. Therefore, those who were there either fell back or died.
Even assuming only one percent of the forces were army, they would still be equal to your forces, using the high estimate above.
Your estimates are completely out of whack though.
And these are low estimates for Imperial defence.
Not really, especially a backwater planet that hardly anyone cares about. Especially one where you had so little respect for the people that you withdrew their shield generator.
So, you've managed to destroy the majority of these defenders across the entire world with a few minutes of bombardment and a small number of troops, who are outside their native enviorment and don't know the land, facing a combination of highly-trained Imperial soldiers (the best in the Galaxy) and hard-core fanatics defending their homes?
No, within several hours I managed to decimate your positions, break your "militia" lines, defeat tired and frighened foes, bomb the hell out of your holdings until I either got surrenders or they were softened enough for an attack, and then met those few in ground warfare.
It's called routine air strikes, it's used by every government in times of war to soften up targets before they lead to ground warfare.
Of course, they also aren't fanatics defending their homes. Nine out of ten civilians fled the city upon my warning, and then, despite the fact that the staff said you couldn't have militia, I went along with it - simply not with the ridiculous numbers you threw out.
Remember that you begun this campaign by bombing the @#%$ out of the surface.
No, that's in err. I attacked the last known position of the shield generator. If you moved that so that it could be in a city, or built a city around it, that's your problem, not mine and people catch onto these kinds of things. Civilians aren't as numbingly idiotic as you seem to hope.
The citizens have already lived under the Coalition - they did not enjoy it.
Fortunately, I'm not the Coalition am I?
And I assure you, they enjoyed it much more than the people before them who dictated every single part of their lives. And I'm sure they enjoyed it more than the Empire who comes in, steals their defenses, and leaves them with a minimal garrison.
Now you arrive and decide to attack the planet from space.
Nah, I just destroyed several Imperial held positions from space.
You think they're going to sit back and let you kill them? Yeah. Right.
Of course not, after I offered my chance for them to escape, they left. Pretty simple and logical in my eyes.
Furthermore, you will not dictate the deaths caused by bombing a world from space. Orbital bombardment is a highly risky process with a massive margin for error.
That is why, until the civilians left the cities, I did not target the cities. When you're firing and a gigantic erect building straight in the middle of generally nowhere (Unless YOU relocated it to a city) has a margin for error sure...but the only other things its going to be hitting is pretty much ground. Again, if I was hitting civilians in that attack that was because the Empire put a military target in a civilian area where you KNEW people were going to get killed in a bombing raid.
Trying to strike a single structure in the midst of a city would, in all liklihood, achive massive casualties.
You're right, and there were civilian casualties, just not in the thousands. I'm hitting military targets, but you seem to be putting them next to civilians therefore - those who stayed and did not flee to outside the cities to avoid the battle were likely effected. Four hundredish in this case.
Not a "few hundred". Thousands - and climbing.
Again, no. You don't read my RP, you don't read my arguements by your own admission. You simply go "Oh he's shooting from space, okay say a thousand people died so I can try to screw him over in the IC News and Propaganda".
It's pretty simple and won't be tolerated. But again let's not forget that it was you who said that the people were against the Empire, not me.
that Abregado-rae wanted no longer to be a part of the Empire.
However, if that is a ruling: Ralen, you may consider all of those militia units Imperial Army.
I've always considered you as having militia, but with the proper consequences, draw backs, and realities. You simply did not have the same numbers you claim and they're being pushed back.
Your threads stated you had a minimal garrison, that is how this RP is going to go.
EDIT: I took to the liberty of beginning to read the original Abregado-rae thread...I must say that it is filled with far worse "dictation" of Galactic Coalition citizens and actions than you could ever accuse me of.
I must say your complaints are the poster boy for "The pot calling the kettle black".
