Military Strengths

[Archaic]

The attached file is a copy of this page at the time of posting, showing the glaring errors in Sheeps post from where he has copy/pasted large sections from Alecrast and Akira descriptions without even bothering to make changes for his nation, (Got to love his mistakes with the SSS) or to take into account established RP (The inclusion of the Brownshirts. The lack of mention of the South Sheepstan White Guard, etc).

[Sheep]

yeah sorry about that. Next time when you are in a rush and are going to come back to do something why don;t yopu try it. As for Archic and Drouge I am sorry that I copied from you, but I did have every intention of fixing any mistakes and re doing larger sections later on.

Indeed I THANK you for the guides.

[GeneralTacticus]

Sheep it is generally accepted practise to:

1) Proofread what you write/copy so as to make sure you don't make any glaring errors;

2) Either ask permission before using someone else's work as the basis for your own, or else change it enough that the copying is not noticeable;

3) When a thread has been pointed out to you as being a good guideline for your work, to at least have the courtesy to read it and either bear it in mind or present a good reason why not to.

[Sheep]

I did read it. Good reson, after so many takeovers, so many invasions, so many wars Sheepsta is more than likely to have a large percentage of the populaiuon in the armed forces.

At the moment I have somewher close to 15 to 17 million people in the armed forces. I have 130 odd million people in New Sheepsta, not to mention those that live in North and South Sheepsta. So I find it well within reason.

Fair enough?

Nope, even more ridiculous than wehat you posted before. If you ahd all three Sheepstas under your control, 15-17 million in the military would mean 3% of your population in the miltiary at the very least, or IOW 7.5% of your labour force even if both genders are equal. Regardless of whether or not the coutnry would want to have such a large force, your economy simply would not be able to sustain it.

[Archaic]

Also Sheep, you forget that you've been under military blockade for a long period of time, and that most of the military equipment left with Alecrast, Bulbagarden, or the Brownshirts or White Guard. How to you propose to have go such a large navy or air force when you never had the money for it, or the ability to get it there?

[Sheep]

Sheepsta is a land with resources my friend what do you think we have being doing laterly other than building.

[GeneralTacticus]

Whether or not you have resources is utterly irrelevant. 'New Sheepsta' had a weak economy and did not buy weapons form elsewhere, while all weapons that were present in the rest of Sheepsta were removed in the withdrawl.

[Sheep]

Your point being? If you think I haven;t smuggled in weapons, flown them in? Built the up, I may not have a good economy like you but it has been geared for the fight against occupation of two thirds of my homeland.

[Archaic]

1) You didn't have a third of the land. You had about a tenth.

2) You honestly expect you can smuggle in weapons through a front of opposing troops such as there was before the court order (Which only took effect once you bothered to come and post. After 5 days, we were thinking maybe you'd end up abandoning it again), or fly them through those no fly zones Alecrast and Bulbagarden had established around the New Sheepstan lands?

You did not have the money, the time, or the resources to build up any sort of Army like you claim Sheep. Here's a little reality check. Alecrast is the 11th largest arms maker in Apolyton, and has the 10th largest armed forces. Claiming yours is larger than mine when all of the stats and RP say otherwise is preposterous.

[GeneralTacticus]

You would not have been able to either build or buy anything approaching a decent military, no matter how much you tried. Simple as that. And you would msot certainly never have eben able to build a miltiary the size of the one which you claim to have, which included... let's see... 31 aircraft carriers, 68 battleships, 115 destroyers, 95 frigates, severla hundred other ships, 50 000 fighters, 11 000 bombers, 10 000 combat helicopters, and 15 000 assorted transport aircraft. One should note that this would make Sheepsta a greater miltiary power than the USA, which, given their past history and current state, is patently absurd.

[Sheep]

Yes Gen Tacticus you are not thinking of the possiblilites here. Thefact that I could of out sourced all the work, and as soon as the blockade had finished gotten the weapons makes sense. Deal with it

[GeneralTacticus]

Sheep, I don't know what world you live in, but mine's called Earth, and on this world, third world countries do not suddenly acquire huge military arsenals from outside by "outsourcing and then importing", when they: a) couldn't afford it, b) couldn't have acquired such ridiculously huge arsenals even if they had the money in any case.

[Archaic]

It makes no sense at all Sheep, which is why we dispute it. You're ignoring all sense and RP, not to mention basic economics. Don't you understand the value of money?

[Sheep]

Well thats a funny Earth you live on cause its been known to happen.
