A few nations have already read it and said: I dont live there so I'm not worried. Ok fine, that means they don't ignore it. This thread has been made months ago and everybody was able to do something about it but didn't. Ok by me, but don't come here and start complaining. La Palma isn't a large island without lots of inhabitants so this is very well possible. The piece of rock is as big as the island of man (check reference links) and within 3 hours the wave reaches the US coast. There is nothing that can be done to prevent it from happening. In fact, it can happen tomorrow or even today. An earthquake or medium sized eruption of the volcano should be enough to trigger the disaster.

Here are a few references to show that the complete destruction of the US east coast isn't a fairy tale. In addition to the east American coast the wave will hit the west African coast, the other Canarian Islands, Caribbean, Canada, South England, Ireland, Holland, Belgium and France will be hit/affected 100% sure. Mexico too, but I heard this so I cannot verify this through internet sources. The other nations will be hit, just look at the world map and how the wave spreads itself.

Final note, this RP is in the REAL LIFE WORLD. Not Earth II or III since I do not recognize those. There's only one earth. American exists in RL earth so this can't be ignored based on that. If somebody starts to say "WELL SOT ISNT IN RL EITHER!!!!" then its tough shit for you, I'm a terror organization then.

IC!
Is Mr Averam here? Lets get it over with. I've spent too much time on this stupid isle after all.

Yeah Lenny. Well those filthy American dogs will pay for their crimes against us and the world. We must make the world a safer place by doing this.

True. Ah here he comes... Hello there, are you ready for some firework?

Damn right. Are all the wires and connections checked?

Of course Mr Averam. We're not the kind of people who trust on good luck.
Good good good. Double checked everything too?

Yeah sure. Trust us, its all in order. Everything will go according to plan.

Well gentlemen. We are the only persons left who know about the plan. The others who knew about this had to sacrificed for the greater good. I assume you two have no objections to that?

Of course not.

Very well. It is time to show the world that terror isn't something of the past. We're back and more evil than ever.

Mr Averam picked up the detonator carefully and connecting all the wires to it. In an instant a small sparkle would travel through the cables and igniting the hundreds of thousands tons of explosives in the cracks at the top and base of the piece of rock. Everything was prepared. Mr Averam turned the key halfway and a small 'peep' was heard. This ment there was no turning back. The system was secured in a way that turning it off would detonate it. Trying to get around the security would also blast the rock away and to top it off, an automatic response would be triggered to blow it up.
Mr Averam pressed 20 buttons to close the power circuit and between complete destruction and tranquility onli one button laid.

The time has come....

Mr Averam was looking at the beatiful sea in front of him. Deep-blue and he could see a cruise liner in the distance. People would hear and see the explosion but that didn't matter. He looked down and gently pressed the button. 3 Seconds later 20 loud blasts ripped up the skies as the three men looked down the gigantic piece of rock began to fall down... But it almost seemed if it stopped. No, it went on plunging in the sea beneath. As the piece of rock hit the water an invisible force was created; the tsunami was born. It would take 3 hours to reach the American shores. It was the perfect stealth weapon; it would remain unseen until it is too late to flee or evacuate.

My dear friends, it is time to depart this earth and to rejoice in the realm of eternal salvation and living in harmony with God.

Yes Mr Averam. We will do what we must.

Mr Averam grabbed a revolver from his holster and loaded it with three bullets. Each of the men would commit suicide. They sworn an oath not to be caught alive. Lenny shot himself first. Waldo came after him. But Mr Averam wasn't in the mood to leave earth now. He called a person from his organization and he shot himself in the head too. Mr Averam walked to the other side of the island where a speedboat was already waiting for him. In 2 hours, 38 minutes and 21 seconds the world would never be the same again.

People aren't replying because there's nothing to RP...

I suspect most people are going to ignore it anyways, without even bothering to post here.

Usually everybody jumps in to talk about destruction and to kill terrorists and when I exploit something that is going to happen someday people ignore it? Why would it be ignored anyway? Because it's too destructive or you can't do anything against it?

OOC: ah well it didn't happen in the "true" NS world Crookfur chooses to inhabit the entire canary group belongs to western asia (the OMP might own one or 2 as i can't remeber exactly what happened in the Daylam collapse).

of course Crookfur also subscribes to the theory of the NS world being vastly greater than the Rl world so we would doubt it would have the impact you desire. Of course our 2 main island homes would still be affected...


As to why people won't RP with it well its doen and it's happened so unless soemone is feeling like throwing away months of work on thier nation they will just add it to the big lsit of NS catastorphys that could ahve happened but they couldn't be bothered with, at least this time the moon didn't have to dodge...

OOC: Well if Western Asia had objections to me using one of his islands then he should have said so. During the time I wrote that there wasn't any talk of earth II so he could have complained about it but he didn't. The damage is only limited to coastal areas and islands The inlands will go away unharmed. I think ignoring this RP is a sign of weakness, not being able to handle great losses. I am prepared to stop playing with SoT just to see how everybody bombs my lands to dust just because of this.

who is to say he even noticed it or if he even accepted your existance? just because someone doesn't coem out and say "I ignore you!" doesn't mean they aren't.

People are free to Rp as they like on NS and while there are certain generally accepted behaviours and niceties people are free to simply not acknowledge anythign they please. if they can't be bothered then thats up to them

As for a sign of weakness so what? In truth if this was to happen in the world occupied by Crookfur then the US simply wouldn't be affected, why? because Crookfur and all the other many (and quiet massive) atlantic islands would absorb most of the wave. While the almsot total annhilation of my naval bases and agriculture would perhaps be interesting to RP i simply can't be bothered but i wish you well in seaking soemone to destroy your nation.

But Mr Averam wasn't in the mood to leave earth now. Mr Averam walked to the other side of the island where a speedboat was already waiting for him.

OOC: I did a little calculation, just for the heck of it. Only 10 minutes after the initial explosion, a wave about 100 metres high would wash over that speedboat. Remember, the wave is travelling at around half the speed of sound. Like it or not, it seems Mr Averam is leaving Earth pretty soon.

Its quite simple for me
I ignore it because i have no claims in your RL WORLD! I DONT EVEN CARE ABOUT YOUR RL WORLD!

Note: Problem with your Tsunami; the landslide that should create it will probably just fall into a million pieces. Maybe you should have kept up with RL news. I had this idea long ago to destroy someone, gave up when i knew everything.

OOC: Im saying it has little effect on Chellian France, and West africa. Some increased tide activity. Im not exactly going to recognize wide-spread damage for something I never even saw, or was told about, etc.

Being original sure pays off these days... I learned my lesson. Too much destruction and no way to avoid it is synonym for ignore.

Unfortunately it seems that way. You either blow up pointless things like malls that doesnt really affect anything or you get ignored.
