Ignore the duration in days in the OP, it's only there to make it look good. Just continue RPing at your own pace.

Furthermore, the idea is for RPers who have announced they'll attend the exhibition to make posts showing off their favorite tanks, planes, guns, etc. to others. As previously mentioned, Hajr is looking to buy some of those for its military, as well, so my people'll be watching and taking notes.

In addition, anybody attending can also, if willing, use the thread as a venue to make (preliminary) deals on any arms trading they wish to do amongst themselves.

Finally, those players who have intimated to me they're sending ministers and diplomats to negotiate treaties with the Hajri gov't can also write posts detailing their arrival and all that.

So, it's a diplomacy thread mixed into a war lite thread with a dash of commerce too. Enjoy!

Of course, it's the country's economic capital and the Sultanate's biggest port.

My Blue Union will have been in on this some how, and due to the RL I will not be able to stay up on the proceedings of this thread, I am however going to try and get in a post to this thread within the next two days if time and resources permit.

Also dammit guys, don't listen to Kiev. Look at the OP, the hangar is air-conditioned, it might not be the coolest room ever but it's not a damn sauna :x

In UDO they would have turned the AC off because they thought it was funny!

Which is why no one ever visited. :(

Everybody can start posting his reaction to the memo now, followed by the beginning of any demonstrations you were planning. I sincerely advise you to hold those even if you weren't originally planning so, because that's what Hajr'll be basing its purchases on.

Also, don't forget this is a military conference and you can buy stuff from others present, too, or arrange deals with them, etc. IMEX is not just Hajr and a coterie of foreign military contractors, though the sum of money Hajr'll be spending obviously makes that the main course.

Alright, after some consideration I've decided to end this experiment. See my for more details.

I've decided this setup for a military conference doesn't work, not for me, not for you. In the future when I hold IMEX it'll be an RP solely carried out in news threads, where I'll write the posts about the exhibits and arms you wish to exhibit and demonstrate (though of course you're welcome to write some yourself). Clearly this more interactive approach didn't work.

Just to OOCly clarify anything the newspost left unclear (about who won what contract and what that means for the persons in question and my military):

1) Anbat gets to upgrade my second echelon tanks (of a type yet to be determined but likely to be the same thing Anbat has).
2) Kyiv gets to provide me with a new multirole fighter, his T-84 (Su-35).
3) Cassiopeia gets to provide me with a new bullpup configuration assault rifle for my special forces and frontline troops.
4) Franken gets to provide me with an entirely new navy.
5) Cassiopeia gets to provide me with a new artillery system (to be revealed).

I will of course RP the production, payment and delivery of the equipment (in batches) in the coming months, conform the guidelines for long-term construction RP.
