Rattler Posted July 2, 2000 Report Share Posted July 2, 2000 (RP) Commander, with your own words you have re-confirmed what we of the Insurgency have maintained all along. Galcom is nothing more than the Lapdogs of the UFN! Thank you very much for that revelation to the rest of your cohorts in crime. Now run along little boy, back to the safety of your Galcommie fleet before some Insurgent that I cannot always control finds you and puts you out of both YOUR and Galcom's Misery. Hurry now, it's getting dark!

GREG MILLER Posted July 2, 2000 Report Share Posted July 2, 2000 [rp]Well, Rattler, I was actually quoting your whipping boy, Aramike, but since you commented, I might as well quote you as well....Rattler: quote:It's always been the way of the Insurgent to allow members to exercise FREE Thought and WILL. We Never Draft Members, Volunteers ONLY!If this is so than, why do you have a Recriutment Officer? Oh, wait, I mean a Propaganda Officer, cause that is all he is. What's he gonna do, brag about his "Banana" collection? Eh, Oliver? quote:I'll choose, instead, to send out one of my Lady Commanders.....Go ahead, make my day. I care not weather this pansy is male, or female. Don't think for a minute that I WON't kill her just because she is woman; if it is Red, it is Dead!

BTW, I seek a postion in one of the GALCOM fleets, the insurgants obviously need better leadership before they can be considered a valid military threat. And I wish to volunteer in the offensive tactics against the Gammulans and Valkries, the insurgancy concerns me not.Commander, you are stepping close to a court marshall for these remarks. You need to realize that when you become a member of Galactic Command, you vowel to defend the Terran Quadrant from any and ALL enemys, foreign and Domestic!

Guest WarSongDeathMARK Posted July 2, 2000 Report Share Posted July 2, 2000 RP You really should talk to someone who gives a d@mn.To your challenge: Bring'em on baby! My pilots and PTA system need the target practice.There will come a day, when the insurgancy will have it's ultimate victory, of this I am sure. And this is not to say the victory will be on the battle feild, as it shouldn't, for as such a victory would be pointless. And that victory is not today. I predict that one day, galcom and the insurgancy will find themselves fighting side by side, in a reunion of our race, too long separated. I choose to join Galcom for PERSONAL gain, not for any foolish cause. I want my crew to survive, to fight and live, to struggle and endure. I want for my crew to go home alive, and the best way to insure this is to avail myself of galcom resources. A commander's first priority is his ship and crew, if you fail to see this, than you are a bigger fool than i at first anticipated.I might be a GALCOM member, but i sympathise with the insurgancy for one reason and one reason only, if we don't take care of earth, who will? I see an insurgant vessel as any another vessel, and if any vessel, of any nationality attacks MY ship, endangering MY crew, there will be retaliation. The only reason I would strike any insurgant unprovoked would be for following orders, and the orders had better d@mn well explain why it is I am killing my brothers.------------------ Cmdr.

Just don't expect me to destroy Insurgant or other lesser fleet vessels with out a reason that could not be defended in court martial. I will not become an oppressor of those who speak their minds, but the minute they begin to fire, just try to hold me back.

Whisper Posted July 3, 2000 Report Share Posted July 3, 2000 [rp] Cmdr. Warsong, we are of one mind. I am amazed at the similarities you and I share in our views toward this conflict. Both of us see the petty and misguided strugle between these two organizations, both looking for the common good, both seeing the same side of a coin, but reading it from different angles. I feel very hopeful for this galaxy, for if more understand what you and I both do, the human race will be marked in the histroy books as the most civilized civilization to ever emerge from the slimes of primordial ooze. quote: Commander Liev, you and I both know full well that your words came with no hidden agendas. Give it up. Uh? Oh, I understand. You belive that what a person says and does is always completely obvious to you, and further explanations are only cover-ups for a slip of the tounge or a mistake in speech. I'll remember that next time I find myself up against Spectre Sation. "Feit tactics will always prevail against Cmdr. Aramike, because he will take everything at face value". Thanks for the intell!

[RP]Lemme guess: you're going to get your butt kicked and then say, "I planned on that. It's part of my overall scheme."Heh, sounds to me like someone covering and making excuses for mistakes simply by justifying them via calling them part of the plan itself!Secondly, no commander worth a grain of salt who uses your "show them what you want them to see" stretegy would publically broadcast the use of said strategy. That would defeat the purpose, right?For all you know, the Insurgency may be employing such as strategy at this very moment.

Ben Somerset Posted July 3, 2000 Report Share Posted July 3, 2000 [RP] quote:I choose to join Galcom for PERSONAL gain, not for any foolish cause. I want my crew to survive, to fight and live, to struggle and endure. I want for my crew to go home alive, and the best way to insure this is to avail myself of galcom resources.If that's the case, then you never should've enlisted in the first place. GalCom doesn't recruit Commanders who are only interested in increasing their bank accounts. That lowly distinction is placed on the Mercenaries, or the Assassians.Our cause is not now, nor ever has been a foolish one. I don't know where you came from or who it is your fighting for, but none of us enlisted in GalCom for profit. Personally, I enlisted because I wanted to fly. My father was a yard engineer, and built starships. From the first time I looked at one, I wanted to pilot it. And so I went to the Academy. Now, I'm the Commander of a Galactan-class Battlecruiser. Over the years, my priorities have changed. I learned what it is to serve, and what duty, honor, and loyalty are really about. And if you had taken time and paid attention in the Academy, you would not think that personal gain is one of a GalCom officers duties.I am here to protect the Terran Quadrant. If you bothered to look over our own regulations you would notice this; quote:3. Protect all Terran assets and those of GALCOM member nations against hostile acts. These include the protection of all bases, stations, and ships operating within the Terran quadrant and their allies.We are here to protect, and to serve our country. Obtaining a higher profit margin is not part of our calling. If it is part of yours, I suggest another line of service for you. quote:I might be a GALCOM member, but i sympathise with the insurgancy for one reason and one reason only, if we don't take care of earth, who will?Exactly who has been taking care of the government for almost seven hundred years. That's right son, the UFN has been functioning for over half a millenium. If you haven't taken notice yet, it's that longest running government in the history of humanity. Do you see the Earth in ruins? Does nuclear fire and destruction boil across her surface? I certainly hope not, since I only visited my home on Earth a few weeks ago. And might I add that sympathizing with a nation hostile to GalCom comes close to treason in the minds of many. Treasonous officers don't belong in This Man's Navy, or anyone else's for that matter. quote:The only reason I would strike any insurgent unprovoked would be for following orders, and the orders had better d@mn well explain why it is I am killing my brothers.Here's where we get to the real meat of the discussion. Why would you want to be killing Insurgents? I'm as moral as the next man, and I don't care to kill anyone. But sometimes the fortunes of war don't avail us of that opportunity. And it does not do so with the Insurgents. Do you think they were concerned when they came barreling out from behind a nebula, and attacked a defenseless GalCom vessel, killing my Commander in 2990? Does it make me feel good knowing that her death put me in the command chair? No, it doesn't. Why are you supposed to attack the Insurgents? Because they make no formal declaration, because they simply slip out of the shadows and strike. I ask you is that honorable? quote:Just don't expect me to destroy Insurgent or other lesser fleet vessels with out a reason that could not be defended in court martial.And that son, is what will land you in a court-martial before you can say the words "Excuse me?" Not following your orders can be construed as "Dereliction of duty", "Disobedience of a superior officer", "Desertion", and "Cowardice in the face of the Enemy". The court-martial in question would be your own, and if I'm correct a few of those are capital offenses.When I did my own swearing in I swore to support and defend the Constitution of the Galactic Command against all enemies, foreign or domestic; that I would bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I took that obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I would well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I was about to enter: So help me God.Maybe you didn't swear the same oath to defend GalCom, and if you didn't you don't belong here. Benefit your ship and crew all you want, but it sounds to me like money is your only reason for service. We do this job because we love it. Starship service is only profitable for the heart of those who enjoy serving their country to the best of their ability. I do, and so do those under my command. If you wish to serve, do so for the right reasons. Profit is not one of them. [/RP]No offense, Warsong, but you gave me some good material to rant on. EDIT: Didn't notice this the first time around; quote:The insurgants are a pityfull lot of dotty scholars, mixed with criminals and raiders with nothing better to do. They pose little real threat. That would've ruined a good portion of my piece right there. BTW, I was wondering if anyone had or knew where to find a copy of the Royal Navy's Articles of War. I've been considering modifying it for BC. Thanks. ------------------ Cmdr.

Guest WarSongDeathMARK Posted July 3, 2000 Report Share Posted July 3, 2000 RP Why do we bother? Why do we fight amongst ourselves? Why do we trivialize, and scrutinize the WRONG statments? GALCOM? INSUGANCY? There seems to be little diffrence. I follow orders, I do what is needed to ensure the completion of mission objective. My personal views be d@mned, for they matter not when my orders are not in question. If any part of my mission is left to my descretion, I wil act as the galcom officer I am. My personal views do not reflect those of GALCOM or my crew, nor will they EVER effect my loyalty to GALCOM. /RP/How many insurgants does it take to change a light bulb?

Ben Zwycky Posted July 4, 2000 Report Share Posted July 4, 2000 Hey, come on, guys, give him a little slack. ItÔÇÖs a big decision he has to make, and itÔÇÖs one he wonÔÇÖt be able to change later, so let him take his time.Warsong, you seem to have upset a few people with some of those comments, especially about your reasons for joining galcom, and I think thereÔÇÖs been some confusion and misunderstandings about your motives there, so hereÔÇÖs what I suggest. Fill out an ISS application form (you can find them here) not necessarily as an application to ISS, and think about each part carefully, especially the part about beliefs, values and morals. Then post it up here, so everyone can see what your character is all about and what he stands for, then I think fleet commanders/personnel staff might start to look at you in a different light, see where those comments came from and where youÔÇÖd best fit in.As for you insurgents, well, this isnÔÇÖt the kind of rp I like, but what the hey:[rp] You say that the UFN is spending too many resources on space exploration and in itÔÇÖs relations and treaties with alien races, and that earth should come first above all others. Excuse me if IÔÇÖm wrong, but that sounds to me very much like, ÔÇ£The problems of other worlds are not our concern.ÔÇØWe need to form all the alliances we can to be able to stand against the greatest galactic threat there is- the gammulans. You have fought against them. You know what they are like. One nation or race is not strong enough on its own to survive their onslaught. Unless we band together:When they allied with the Valkyrie and invaded the Falkyrie, we were not Falkyrie and said, ÔÇ£it is so far away, our borders are secure.ÔÇØWhen they overran the Mandorians and Kandorians, we were not one of them and said, ÔÇ£it is not our concern, we must not worry ourselves.ÔÇØWhen they captured the Credians and Zelons, we began to be afraid, but then we said, ÔÇ£now they have enough and will be satisfied. Do not be afraid, we are at peace!ÔÇØWhen they invaded the Syrions and Droidans, we were not one of them and said, ÔÇ£it is the way of things. It is their right to war on whom they please. Our children are all sheltered and well fed. Why now provoke them with hostility?ÔÇØWhen they wiped away the Empirians and Vesperons, we sighed and said, ÔÇ£ÔÇÖtis only fair. We told them that their bickering would be their end. The universe is better off without them. This must now be enough for them and now the peace will last. Why would they ever want to war on us?ÔÇØ When at last they came for us, we were most dismayed and said, ÔÇ£Why does no-one come along and help us?ÔÇØ If you ever came to power on earth, you would form alliances and maintain a space fleet. I find it very hard to believe that you who have depended on space trade and resources for military vessels and equipment would give it up as soon as you gained power. You know that earthÔÇÖs economy depends upon galactic trade. The trading lanes have to be policed and protected from the raiders and criminals we know you also despise. If we do not do it, who will? We help other worlds and races because we can, and because we need each other. We are not trying to form an empire to combat an empire, but an alliance to combat an empire, as well as do many other things. You say that the UFN is corrupt and abuses its power. I hate both of those things and I do everything in my power to combat and bring to justice any individual I come across who is guilty of those things. There are corrupt individuals, but there are also very many people within the UFN who are good public servants. It happens time after time that when a military organisation takes over a government as you hope to do, a dictatorship results, not a democracy. You seek to overcome with military force those who oppose you now. Do you really think that will not continue if you get into power?
