Aye... but we should give them our terms first.
So how's about these:
Article I: 3/4s of the total GFFA population will be given as slaves to the ESUS. This is non negotiable, and will be considered the reparations for the barbaric and unprovoked GFFA attack.
Article II: The GFFA will never raise arms towards the ESUS again. In fact, the GFFA will never raise arms to anyone again, unless attacked first.
Article III: All GFFA governments will be 'investigated' by the ESUS, and should evidence of wrongdoing be found, replaced with ones of the ESUS' choosing.
Article IV: The GFFA is allowed no vessels larger then one thousand meters, and no more massive then a one cubic kilometer mass of iron. ESUS weapons inspectors will routinely inspect GFFA shipyards to ensure this is being adhered to.
Article V: The GFFA will destroy any weapons of mass destruction* in their inventory, and will halt research upon them.
*Weapons of mass destruction include anything capable of depopulating planets within one Sol-standard week, as well as biological or chemical weapons of any sort.
Article VI: The ESUS will agree not to annihilate the GFFA's members.
The GFFA are appealing for a cease-fire

That's the point... we're winning. If they want to end the war, they pay our incredibly harsh penalties.blaesa wrote:Seems just a BIT harsh. Tone it down so it's vaguely reasonable. Keep articles IV and V, though, and a slightly modified version of VI (ESUS and GFFA will cease all hostilities should do).

I thought the purpose was to make ridiculous demands, causing them NOT to accept it so we could continue the war, thereby meeting our demands anyway. Is this not so?blaesa wrote:Seems just a BIT harsh. Tone it down so it's vaguely reasonable.

I reserve the right to be completely and fully WRONG.

Why? We'll get the whole shabang after the war if we play our cards right. Besides... ending the war before we conquered even one system would be criminal!blaesa wrote:Yes, but I want them to actually accept it. I'll be coming up with a draft shortly.
I think so... HT was one of the first ones into combat, he would know more.BTW, they did fire the first shot, yes? With that moon hitting 'Nauts planet? IIRC, we didn't start shooting until after that...

There should be a clause covering any nation that succedes from the GFFA in the future but participated in the war.
