I'm not going to install something on someone else's computer. Will try the non-java one.

"TTRP! Is that other Canadian monstrosity still floating around in the sky?" Ryoko asked.
"Yes it is, Admiral. The Teleray Pointer still picks it up in the area."
Ryoko smiled. "Good. I hope it will stick around for a bit longer."

Miyuki was sitting behind the small, fixed desk in her tiny quarters aboard her submarine. She was playing around a bit with a sheet of paper containing the most recent orders she had decrypted. However, she was distracted by the warm, muggy atmosphere and the smells that hung around in the submarine.
Shifting slightly to her left, Miyuki looked into the mirror hanging on her wall which had a crack in it, the results of one of the emergency dive tests that the submarine had performed about three months ago. Miyuki felt miserable and, after seeing her reflection and looking down, realized she looked miserable as well. Her beautiful long, white hair was now a dull tangled mess, her dark blue skirt was partially torn on the right side and her half-buttoned shirt which once used to be a pristine white color was now damp and stained with grease, sweat, oil and a bit of diesel. Her other sets of clothes were in no better condition.
Miyuki wondered if she should burn her clothes or sign them and sell them at an auction once she got back to Japan. She knew that there were plenty of weird people around who would love to own something that used to belong to the I-401 captain. One thing was for sure. She needed to buy some new sets of uniforms once she was back home.
Trying not to think about the hidden weirdness that existed in the world, Miyuki read the orders and went to the control room to give the new course for the submarine.

| I'm at a loss as to when/why the rules disappeared. |

When mods edit a post, it happens without leaving a trace (at least to the regular users). When a non mod edit's a post, it will leave a trace behind as can be seen at the bottom of the post here.

... so if that info is also unavailable to the mods when it was edited, the exact 'when' (i.e. date and time) is pretty much impossible to find out but it seems fairly obvious that it happened when the new refit/rebuild/reconstruction rules were put in.
As to why? It really looks like a matter of the mod editing the new rules into the post and accidentally deleted more than he should have. A simple mistake.

I agree, but I think that there is more Iberian territories in the Americas than in Asia.

Currently in Airdrie. Car broke down Saturnday afternoon and the garage did not open until Monday, but hopefully it'll be fixed soon. Gave me an opportunity to check the latest stuff.

I think he's smart enough not to sell those carriers to either Mexico or Australia.

What you could try is to take a small section of a real picture with such a fuselage and then pick one of the fuselage colors in that section.

You can always blame the British for building the wheelie bin and hand it over to Canada.

| That's the other thing throwing people off, I think. How'd a Japanese Battleship appear in the middle of the Indian Ocean without anyone noticing? I see no news or other discussion, when it seems something of a no-brainer that folks would notice such a transition. |

Considering the existing relations between Japan and India, I expect ship movement both ways, whether DD or CV or BB, to be a common thing even when not posted and even with India leaving SATSUMA. I may not have posted anything about a passage into the Indian, but when moving into the Indian Ocean, I can say with 100% certainty (and without Kirk having to point it out) that the Okuni and her few escorts were shadowed by the Dutch during their entire journey in the vicinity of the DEI. While as a player you may just have found out about that through reading that bit, your nation may or may not (more likely the former considering SAER) know about her presence in the Indian from the Dutch. While you may not have posted about it, I would not be surprised if one Hong Kong based RCN ship was keeping an eye on all Japanese movements from Pacific to Indian in that region just to make sure that we are behaving properly.

| Nothing has been said of Japan's rights to wander about international waters, sir! |

True, but at times from reading your bits, I get the impression that Canada can go where ever it wants and Japan not. Perhaps not your intention or perhaps I just read it wrong.

| Other than shades of red and purple aren't the best choices if you're trying to make something distinguishable. |

That would be true from a reasonable distance or height or with poor visibility, but then we get back to Hood's "We buzzed them twice to make sure" line which indicates to me that they actually flew low and straight over the ship thus the crew would easily be able to identify the ship.

| The only way they could see both ships together if I recall by our conversations would be in Japanese waters before they hit the open sea. I think the Okuni and the Kirishima went in opposite directions if what Walter told me was right. |
|
I actually assumed the Okuni to be somewhere completely different than the Kongos when they left (in the Indian). So they'll be together from the moment they meet each other in the Tasman Sea.

| You know, I get the feeling that y'all don't even know where you sent your ships, and which ones you sent! |
|
Despite the fact that I am on holiday, I know exactly where the ships are... uhm... are not... and they are not in Japan. 
| Zitat: |
| I know what I sent. The problem is you don't know which ones. |
|
... and who you sent where and why and how and when and...
| Zitat: |
| To which I pointed out that means you're going through French territory and FAR patrols, or through the DEI; You pointedly denied going through the DEI as you'd be picked up and followed, and I interpreted the lack of an answer to going through French Polynesia to mean you concurred and weren't aiming to directly annoy as many power blocs as possible during the trip, and were instead taking the more direct route via Santa Cruz. |

But the Wesworld French are so more nicely than the Villainous Dutch (just as evil here as they are in Navalism) or the Brits...
I think that the most important thing to remember is that they're in international waters so what can they do? The only thing I can is to track and follow to make sure we don't do anything naughty in the area. We are free to go where we want in international waters, just like the Canadians did years ago around Japan. You're saying that Canada is allowed to annoy Japan by being close to its territorial waters and Japan is not?
I would actually need to make some calculations regarding route and where the ships are at certain dates, but I would not be surprised to be spotted between Vanuatu and Fiji and the Australians would spot me as soon as I get anywhere near Norfolk Island. As indicated, the Okuni is in the Indian somewhere and I expect her course to be along the Southern end of Australia (for obvious reasons).
WTF?!? You evil Canadmerican moderator!!!

| ...I don't think Commonwealth aircraft come with barcode readers to try and scan Japanese Ship IDs off the side. |
|
Why do you think I said "especially with those colored turret roofs". Seems obvious to me now that Canadian Super Science will always fail to identify the ships whereas simple British observations and memory will always succeed.
| Zitat: |
| And I'm guessing you let the Lantean Regent pick those colors, because it's quite obvious you've been thinking...pastels! |

... and what's wrong with that?

I'll be back in Holland on Sunday so I deliberately took the Monday off as well as I will need a bit of time to recover from the Eastward flight (I always have a bit more problems flying east than west). Haven't got much on this computer though. No Java so no chatting.
