Mongol-Swedes Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 NewsDay Highlight: Today, the Mongol-Swede Shipping Company deployed its fleet of diplomatic envoy jets to the cities of Thule, Vanarambaion; Serekan, Ide Jima; Karthene City, Karthenia; Tagmatica, Tagmatium Rules; Donostia, Free-Ekainak; and Zhao Jaihu, Jaihu, to transport each nation's delegation to the upcoming peace summit in the Tribelands' city of Darhan. 30 of our nation's commando cells were activated to provide security in and around the Darhan Meeting Hall, and an additional 40 were stationed along the railway between Ruschtyab International Airport and Darhan, in response to a growing concern with the rise of the Royalist Liberation Force's number of activities in the northwestern region of the Tribelands. (OOC: Each cell is made up of 20 highly trained individuals. As our military budget is somewhat limited, we have compensated by setting extremely high standards and allowing a small number of personnel into our military.) NewsDay Highlight: A recent update from our reporters at the Mongol-Swede embassy in Alaghon, Tamurin indicates, contrary to an earlier statement, that the peace talks are moving along effeciently. Recently the Ambassador to Tamurin requested that the Republic of Tamurin consider sending representation to the upcoming peace summit in Darhan, stating "a need for unity in this critical moment in the history of Europa" in a press conference currently underway. NewsDay Highlight: Success was reported today in the testing of the Mongol-Swede Space Programs' shuttles Lobonsky and Lindstrom as they were able to completely orbit the moon, and return to the Tribelands safely. The Tribal Tribunal has yet to comment on this, but an official on the newly created Sub-Tribunal On Extra-Terrestrial Affairs stated that "an increase in funding for the program is probable." NewsDay Highlight: The Initiative to Reverse Environmental Degradation commences today, with the first phase of the program focusing on reevaluating all industry in the Tribelands for waste disposal, and there was also talk of establishing a "research think-tank" to consider possible means of waste recycling. NewsDay Highlight: The Tribal Tribunal announced that today marked the 1st year anniversary of the day that all prisons in the Tribelands were converted "to facilities more focused on rehabilitation, rather than simply penning up our tribes". A three-day national celebration is to be held, according to the Tribal Tribunal, pending the conclusion of the peace summit in Darhan.
Akiiryu Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 OOC: I assume my convey from Akiiryu will recieve similar protection?
Mongol-Swedes Posted May 13, 2005 Author Posted May 13, 2005 OOC:The first 'highlight' was for mentioning those that were using our transportation services. All delegations will be secured in and around the meeting hall, lest it be declined in favour of personal security, however, security within the actual meeting chambers is by our forces mandatory for neutrality purposes.
Akiiryu Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 OOC: That's great, thanks for the explanation. IC: Akiiryu, would like to request that its convey be meet at the Akiiryan/Mongol-Swede border by the Mongol-Swede security forces designated to accompany the convey to the conference. Other than the traditional baronial bodyguard of 5 men, Akiiryu will not be sending Military forces of any kind into Mongol-Swede territory. During the conference the baronial bodyguard requests the right only to wear the customary Akiiryan dagger - a weapon that has much symbolic and cultural significance. We are open to negotiations on this point.
Mongol-Swedes Posted May 13, 2005 Author Posted May 13, 2005 To: The Baron T'Rothric of Akiiryu From: The Tribal Tribunal of The Confederacy of The Tribal Tribunal Subject:Security Arrangements A security detail consisting of two of our commando cells will be provided for your protection enroute to Darhan. We will meet you and your entourage at the border city of Ulcoora. Your proposal of a five-man honour guard is unacceptable inside the chambers, as we must maintain a strict policy of consistent neutrality.
Akiiryu Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 To: MS From: SPA Sorry for the confusion, we had not intention of bring the guard into the chambers as we support and respect your position on neutrality. The body guard would only be used for travelling to and from the conference chambers and delegate accomdations. Is this acceptable?
Mongol-Swedes Posted May 13, 2005 Author Posted May 13, 2005 To: The Baron T'Rothric of Akiiryu From: The Tribal Tribunal of The Confederacy of The Tribal Tribunal Subject: RE: Security Arrangements In that case, we will allow the honour guard to escort you and your entourage to and from the peace summit. As stated before, the border city of Ulcoora will be open for the reception of you and your fellow delegation.
Akiiryu Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 To: The Tribal Tribunal of The Confederacy of The Tribal Tribunal From: The Baron T'Rothric of Akiiryu We thank you for your understanding on this point and look forward to the successful completion of the forth coming talks. Baron T'Rothric, Leader of the Akiiryan Delegation.
Mongol-Swedes Posted May 13, 2005 Author Posted May 13, 2005 NewsDay Highlight: The Mongol-Swede Tribelands has decided to send its finest ice hockey team to the 'Triple-J' Ice Hockey Cup in the Jaihuistic Jaihudom of Jaihu. A farewell ceremony is to be held today in the Grand Tribal Hall in the city of Scandinaviopolis. (OOC:The official roster will be posted on the appropriate topic.) NewsDay Highlight: Today the city of Ulcoora was graced by the presence of the Baron T'Rothric of Akiiryu and his entourage as they arrived and were greeted by the City Chieftan Gendar Ulrich and two cells of the Tribal Honourary Diplomatic Guard. The Baron and the Akiiryan delegation will be travelling across the Tribelands via the Tribelands' National Railway System as they make their way to the city of Darhan for the upcoming peace talks. NewsDay Highlight: A successful raid on a public housing development resulted in the capture of several top personnel of the Royalist Liberation Force, namely Toreno Gdashivilli, the man who was recently found in connection with the deaths of the crew of the freighter that was originally speculated to have been sunk by blockade vessels around Plot 21. Commander Formin Lobonsky of the commando cell that undertook the raid stated that the captives would be treated "with the utmost respect for humanity possible, while providing for no chance of escape." NewsDay Highlight: The Tribal Tribunal, in light of the recent proposal by the nation of Ide Jima of an economic alliance of space-worthy nations, has agreed to support such an initiative, which they feel will "help to bring peaceful unity in the name of understanding and cooperation, for a brighter future for the peoples of Europa."
Senator Gaius Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 From General Lynn Taros, Karthene Delegate To The Tribal Tribunal The Karthene delegation would like to protest against the Akiiryan request to have ceremonial daggers. Whatever the Akiiryans may say about customs and the like, they will still be armed, and we shall not. We do not disparage your commando cells, which we greatly respect, but we are concerned about security.
Akiiryu Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 (edited) To: General Lynn Taros, Karthene Delegate From: The Baron T'Rothric of Akiiryu What exactly are you suggesting? The bodyguard will not be in the chambers nor near your delegates. OOC: I am assuming this protest was passed on. Edited May 13, 2005 by akiiryu (see edit history)
Tagmatium Rules Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 (edited) To: Mongol-Swedes From: Holy Empire of Tagmatium We would also like to request that all of the metal knives and forks are replaced with plastic or wooden ones. This is so that no threat is posed to our delegates by butter knife-weilding terrorists. Thank you. (OOC: sorry, but this is getting silly. Let the Akiiryans have their daggers) EDIT: Oops. I put 'Roman' in there. Edited May 13, 2005 by Tagmatium Rules (see edit history)
Senator Gaius Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 (edited) Fine, have the daggers. But if anything happens, we will hold Akiiryu responsible. Edited May 13, 2005 by Senator Gaius (see edit history)
Mongol-Swedes Posted May 13, 2005 Author Posted May 13, 2005 OOC: I just want to inform the folks here on Europa that are afraid of sharp pointy thingys, that you should back away from your keyboards and monitors, unless you have wimpy Macs with rounded edges and bubble-processors, in which case you should join the Canadian Mafia and learn how to kill folks with spoons.
Jaihu Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 OOC: I just want to inform the folks here on Europa that are afraid of sharp pointy thingys, that you should back away from your keyboards and monitors, unless you have wimpy Macs with rounded edges and bubble-processors, in which case you should join the Canadian Mafia and learn how to kill folks with spoons. OCC:Bah!!!!! You know SOOOOO little about the Canadian Mafia!!! Spoons!!!! I wish!!!!! We don`t kill people with spoons... We kill folks with kindness in a very polite non-threatening manner.
