My appologies if anything said was taken badly by the Dfly or Vangard.
It just is that we are getting a delay on answers,.. and a run around with Vangard saying he cannot make the call, and then the next night Dfly saying he cannot make the call. To be honest it puts our nation on edge as to your true intentions. We will not underestimate the ISC commanders.
At a certain point both Ho Chi and I have become frustrated with this and I voiced that, and tried to point out that confussion that both the EA commanders are experiencing in trying to negotiate with your nation.
Sorry if this or anything I have said has offended either of you.
Very sorry if you were offended.

Ho Chi said that he will make his mind up for sure by tomorrow... and the roll Scott made has been ditched , patience... randomly pushing buttons like that makes you hit the "make coffee" button on accident

Well sounds like all parties around are frustrated. Ho Chi will let us know what is up tonight.
Shalifi extended the 2 day deadline for him so it can go into this evening.

Last night Vangard on TS,.. told Ho Chi and myself the same A.ss backwards arguement that he was incapble of making a call and only you could. "Please send lawyers, guns and money" Warren Zevon song. To Both of you,.. it holds little water,... Umm I have been reviewing Ho Chi last standing order,.... It has matched my standing order of defending the Hex and our homeworld at all costs,.... Your intrusion into our nation withour warning,... your evasive nature for many weeks as to your intentions,.. your inability to to notify us,.. forces me to go with my default action which is to attack the fleet before me. This has been my standing order unless Ho Chi sent other Orders,... and he has not. He has not ordered my fleet to stand down,... and in fact has sent word to prepare for battle and go to Red Alert. Unless Ho Chi orders Earth Farce 1 to stand down I hold with my standing order of several weeks now. Attack and defend our capital. Please excuse the delay on resonding to this. I think I check the posts daily but I guess not. As a partner I will always consult with my teammates prior to any major decisions. I was waiting to talk to Dfly prior to giving my orders. I had not spoken to him unit last night. I have a tendency to wait till the last minute too. In my mind, I did not have to think about this event until Impulse 3 occurred. I thought you said that if we disengaged you would not pursue (which was my intention). I believe you don't give info until you have to. (just my way of playing games like this).

Bridge of B5:
Sheridan,.. "Ho Chi status?"
Security,.. "He has not emerged from his stateroom Sir,. but the smell of Juniper is heavy in the hall"
Sheridan ponders Ho Chi staring at the candle,.. He drifts off to thoughts of destruction against the ISC,.. doom and gloom flood his mind. Is it the end? or have we prevented our own destruction?"
Sheridan,.. "Status report from Blovat"ass" please,.. is he still in contact?"
Sheridan thinks,.. at last that fat bastard will get his,... looks down at his own expanding waisteline and worries,.. LOL

Juniper,... the smell floods the hall as Sheridan and the team nears the Vice President's stateroom.
Sheridan,.. "Open the door!"
Security,.. "It is a Vice Presidential Lock Sir, it can only be blown open"
Sheridan,.. "Then do it"
Kaboom,.. the sirens sound on B5 and Sheridan enters the room,..
Before him is no sign of Ho Chi and only a burning candle,....

The security officer points out to Sheridan that his political blathering is a day off.
If the Ref,... notified you on Monday of contact then they had till tonight,.. (two days) of disengagment.
Notification was on Monday night,...
Sheridan storms off,... his Clone shakes back at Earth. LOL
Note Van pointed this out,... Opps sorry,... Ya I guess they gave notice within the time zone.
Crap I now have go back and change 10 posts,.. Sheridan throws up his hands in despair and gives up,... The ISC have outwitted him again.

He stared out the window into the vastness of space as though trying to see farther than was humanly possible. He wanted earnestly to see all the way to Sector 2522, to see for himself the situation at hand. President Sheridan had not rattled the saber, he had drawn the saber.
“What…?” Ho Chi asked himself, “What is the correct answer?”
When the announcement was first made, Ho Chi was taken back. He had assumed he would have a little more time to ponder the fate of the EA potentially the entire galaxy. But President Sheridan had impatiently jumped.
“Vice President Ho Chi” the intercom chimed in, “Vice President, Mr. Sheridan seeks an audience with you.” Ho Chi remained silent, still lost in thought about the choices that lay before him. At his feet laid the latest intelligence reports from Sector 2522. He had delayed his response trying to delve into the intelligence and his own soul prior to such a decision.
“If I were but sure, sure …..”
The League of Non-Aligned Nations had been a valued asset in the original Shadow Wars, but that was decades ago. He thought, ‘What we have here is a failure to communicate.’ Thinking back through history, Ho Chi knows miscommunications have led to the destruction of many.
Would allowing the League to withdraw lead to an inevitable war just down the proverbial ladder? Is it a show of weakness? Or is this all an honest mistake?
“If only, if only the League had promptly notified their intent to withdraw this would all be academic.” He had hoped beyond hope the League would do just that. But the League’s B5 liaison had stammered when questioned of the intent of the League’s fleet. He remembered the words, ‘I do not have the authority to respond to this….’
There was a jar that resonated down the B5 corridor outside the access tube he had decided to occupy during his solitude. Ho Chi slid down the ladder half expecting to see an assassin entering his stateroom. The smoke was thick, Ho Chi hugged the corridor wall as he cautiously made his way down the corridor. He coughs lightly, he stops himself, and the alarms are sounding. Suddenly someone rushes pass him. The smoke is too thick to recognize the individual.
The Station’s ventilation system finally kicks in. The smoke is quickly eliminated. Ho Chi could see a security team at his stateroom door. “What going here!!?”
The Security Chief takes a step back before regaining his composure. “Mr. Vice President, the President…..” Ho Chi held up his hand to the chief seemed relieved to be prevented from finishing his sentence.
“Where is the President?”
“Sir he just left.”
Well, that solved the mysterious individual in the smoke. Ho Chi wondered if Sheridan would ever learn patience.
“Very well Chief, please get a maintenance team down here to clean up this mess.”
Ho Chi walks down the corridor in the direction the President had gone. He had finally make his decision about Sector 2522……..

I realize my confussion now on dates after thinking about things.
Last night Ho Chi and I spoke with Shalifi and he said you guys had gone past due date for desicion. He also said that he would extend Ho Chi's decision time by a day. Ho Chi and I both were there for that, and now it has been pointed out that is was not correct. There was no need to extend that time as the ISC did not go past the deadline.
As a ex ref,.. juggling an entire campaign map is tough,.. that I know.
But I just wanted to point out how I, and Ho Chi got confussed on what day it was. LOL
