Except it was undected (the post) but rather you not paying attention.

And you wanted a slaughter with no casualties against a pretty powerful force. You could have beated it but been bloodied. But you power gamed a stunning victory instead.

Hell, you didn't even bring it up in the OOC thread until I called you on it.
A powerful force that should have had more posts then just one saying Banzai, if he had said, maybe, "The submarines were ready, the divisions were set, the invasion would begin soon." as a second post the day before the attack I would of been happy, but he doesn't even give that, you and he assume that just because you talk about returning an emperor means that it has to be Japan and not, say, The KSE, the PSR, or the NRE?

I said it before and will say it again, none of those have the Banzai warcry.

And that rather than taking this up in the OOC thread you power gamed your way to victory is rather telling of your behaviour in this game so far.

He said that the emperor would return, that couldn't be me, since the KSE has no emperors in exile or in hiding, and the NRE is out of the game.

Wait wait wait wait wait. So, because he said Banzai, and men were training I was to assume he would send TEN divisions into battle? How about I put an Invisa shield over all of Earth, destroying all hover craft beneath it without you being able to detect a cause for it, would you then complain even though you ignored a post I put up?
Do you realize just what an insignificant force 10 divisions is for Empires of this scale? Kokand had an army with over 600 divisions and in reality that left it under militarized compared to the current United States. You opted for a force far too small to cover the needed frontage and should pay for it.

What's to keep them from being an exile group that says that your emperor isn't the real emperor, the NRE is still in existence, and the Pan-Slavs dwefinetly have emperors left, and people who might want them back.

The Banzai thing alone. Or are you so completely unware of WW2 or Japanese military history as to not know the providence of that particular warcry.

Need the Banzai bit be repeated once more? Face it, you ignored the post or never read it. No one else uses Banzai and the OU is mostly island nations and includes much of the pacific rim.

If he wants to give himself the uber-intel force I don't care, he can have it, I do care, however, when he automatically assumes that that advantage goes onto everything else in the operation, and doesn't take one disadvantage. And who os to assume they aren't Japanese mercenaries used to make it look I was to blame, or that the Japanese culture didn't rub of on his nation to make an impression even though he is right next door. The post in itself is to vague to even lay the ground-work for an attack on Japan, not to mention a succsesful one.

Nothing is to say exactly what you were seeing. But you were seeing a possibility and ignored it totally. You did nothing at all!

Hell, even once the insurrection/invasion had begun you simply power gamed rather than talk it out. That says it all.

Straha, half the fun of an STGOD is mis-directing and baffling opponents. And it wasn't that sneaky of a post, the possibilities were pretty narrow indeed.

DO you bother to rebut my post at all? No. I wouldn't mind the post being the basis if there were another post follwing it up, even a hour before he posted the attack, saying he was launching the subs for invasion, or that he was loading the troops. Not just this wank of all wanks saying that the one post lets him get away with murder.

He did launch a massive invasion on a major power stormie. There should have been some warning, bu there was no buildup. All te sudden hundreds of thousands of troops are pouring over the beach.

Darksider, trying to smuggle a nuke in the face of even Trek level sensors is relatively futile hence why I decided on suicide attacks.

And you would do well to remember that after Straha's Charade with my cops I've clamped down hard on my borders.

How about one of your patrol ships assists a supposedly damaged vessel, which promptly blows up in the docking bay with the force of multipule neuclear weapons. The Asgard, already pissed at the KSE's allies, thinks we did it and starts another massive war, only this time, no surrenders or cease-fire agreements. It will be a long drawn-out battle between the two major military alliances.

I actually had plans of my own to start an apocalyptic war. I'm setting my timetables forward now.

Or he could wait until the war starts and then join on the side of either faction, who could sore afford to refuse him. Or he could wait even longer to pounce on the depleted rivals.

The European Alliance Consisting of the KSE, me, The PSR, The DE, and the Floaters(now practically neutered) and the NBA consisting of the Skavens, the Asgard-Kokkand nation, the OU, and the (Arghs I forgot the name) new PRC.

Oh, and this did NOT TAKE PLACE ON KHARAM. I said it took place on a "Secondary ASgard shipyard."

I have no "secondary" yards. The only one that could fit that is Kharam. All the yards are either Naval (ie primary) or civilian.

And gene modded or not, that guy would be identified easily enough once his corpse was in my hands. My shipyards (all of them) have tighter security than you credit them. Not the least of which is security cameras.

Karam is the only possible place for that to have happened.

Misinterpretation. Kharam is NOT an Asgard shipyard, fool. It is an ITA holding.

Secondary shipyard, I mean one of the smaller shipyards, or the wing of a larger one, presumably devoted to construction of smaller craft- fighters, or escorts.

Besides, if I was going to waste Kharam, I would have had my fleet on station trash it.

You might certainly have caught him- and you would have someone who looks like one of your officers, down to the DNA strand, slowly cooling as his suicice drug wore off. We worked together for a long time- inflitrating a few men into minor positions is easy enough.

ONCE AGAIN: THE ATTACK DID NOT TAKE PLACE IN KHARAM- SUCH A THING MAKES NO SENSE.

Don't be an ass, dude. This is a minor intelligence operation, much smaller than the bombing of Zarathrustra.
