Huahin and Pys: You guys should decide your games on the field instead of in the parking lot. You both sound like English hooligans...:D I can imagine the chain-link fences and brawling in the stands. It'd be great if you could vent like that in an RP from the fans' perspective.
I've first hand experience. I've got a pic of me on the pitch at Elland Road (home of Leeds United and one of the biggest and best grounds in England), in front of the goal which has a load of police standing on the goal line.

Lol. BF2 vid was so funny.
I only managed to play the game like 3 times coz my computer, for some kooky fucked up reason, will not allow me to play it. But one time I made the mistake of getting into an F-15 with a plane jockey on the map with the big dam. We made one pass of the enemy and he was doing loops while I was trying to kill people, so I eject and my damm parachute doesn't work. Happy days.

Oh I love dog fights.

On this one map with the Dam, I had two guys on my tail. I was doing spins, summersaults, etc. I see the Dam and there is this small way to fly through, and I took a dive through the opening and the one Mig on my slams against the wall *I think tk'ing a few guys who were sniping or something lol* and the other Mig seemed to narrowly miss getting hit. I am at about 3/4th hp, dodging bullets and such, and I decide to trick him out completely. I turn my attention to a wall, I think it was just a big ass hill, and fly towards it. Kind of playing Chicken, and I come to my nose just about touching it and I pull up and get behind him to watch him slam into the hill :-P.

Sparta already has some soveriegn territory, and the whole RP'ing a slave revolt seems weak. Not a criticism per se, just my opinion. I don't see the point in instigating a war here, though, aside from the obvious lust for more land, which seems pretty transparent.

But then, what stops us from RP'ing cultural revolts for independence all across E2? Most of them would be simply crushed out by their government, or RP'ed that they would never revolt because they're happy. So what makes this slave revolt any more viable?

"Hey, you're next to me. I start arming the disenfranchised (ranging from the actually disenfranchised to the merely pissed off) and encourage them to rise up against you. Gimme!"

Weak.

Under normal circumstances, any attempt to incur an uprising in anyone's country would very likely be met by one of two responses:

1) "I crush the rebellion with my army. Now what?" Or,
2) "My populous can't be incited to rebel because I have these social structures/attitudes/behavioural modifications in place."

And as Pyschotika said, there's nothing stopping Doomanum from simply changing the direction of the popular discontent. This is what I mean by weak.

On a related note, when Doom started a war with Squorn, Pacifinesia joined in to defend their ally because the attack was unprovoked, warning all against joining the side of the instigator. It wouldn't be right, they said. Everyone seemed to agree. Rome agreed and allowed Doom to do his thing. Now, given that Sparta's move here is also unprovoked, if Rome decides to defend her ally, then no one had better say word one against it.

Umm, thats the problem...

1 - Doomi, Tyrandis, and Spizania were ALREADY at war with Pacifinesia BEFORE he attacked Squorn
2 - I...never protested against Rome aiding Doomi against Sparta. I was just saying that Doomi could easily, over a long while throughout the battle, cause so much discontent that the combatants would simply surrender due to the fact that they ARE a large number and they COULD do something other than fight their liberators. Out of a slave's eye is much different than out of a civilian's eye.

If there was a rebellion in my country it would be put down quickly and brutally and no one would ever know about it, outside some political and military circles. Thus the whole rebellion thing is tricky, unless its a whole civil war thing, the most recent example being Cotlands. But for another nation to meddle in their affairs could either unite the warring factions (take China during Japanese occupation) or bring an allied country into the fray.

From what I understood, Doom didn't enter the war until much later on, BY attacking Squorn, therefore joining into an already existing war.

And Pys: I know you haven't protested any action that Rome might take. I never said you did. I merely paraphrased you on a separate issue.

No one has protested. Yet. What I'm saying is that if Rome takes action against Sparta Dominion, it will be just as justified as when Pacifinesia responded to Doom's attack. So I would find it the height of hypocrisy to hear any protest. Which, so far no one has done, and I haven't accused anyone of doing - I didn't think I was so unclear as to require a disclaimer.

Actually, Cymrea and Huahin, it went more like this -

Terronian ( prior to being in Pacifinesia ) declares war on Azimeth ( prior to being in Pacifinesia as well ) *or vise versa*. Pacifinesia intervenes and tries to get them both to be peaceful, an Azimeth attacks a Tyrandisian ship to bring him into the war in hopes of Tyrandis destroying Terronian. Tyrandis goes to war with Azimeth, and sets up a NAP with Terronian. Terronian and Azimeth are admitted into Pacifinesia, and by default the rest of Pacifinesia declare war on Tyrandis. Tyrandis then forms KAIN with Safehaven2, Doomingsland, and Ottoman Khaif *And possibly Spizania, I think not though*. At the same time, Huahin declares war on Spizania, which sparks the war with Tyrandis a bit.

In the end, there is no one to really blame. Actually, the cause of the war is me bringing Azimeth here but yea...there is no longer a reason to be fighting other than Doomi invading Squorn. But Doomi invading Squorn isn't agressive on any level, it is a response to Squorn declaring war on Tyrandis, then soon Doomi.

We all have our guilt equally, and I think that the war is rather quite pointless now. The best thing, really, is if everyone were to sit down and talk it over now. 1 - The war isn't going anywhere, and 2 - No one is gaining anything out of it probably except some land, and 3 - The Chinese and Japanese would only add to the worstening of this equation...same once the Ottomans get involved as well. So, really, there is no agressor. The only real agressor no long exists, but if people want his leader for starting up the war...I do have him in my grasps.

So yea, I think that should sum things up.

Except Squornshelous was not yet at war with anyone at that time.


The use of chemical weapons is not an action condemned by Squornshelous, and we, like Cotland, we do not recognize the Johannesburg Courts as any sort of world governing body. Besides, we're already at war with Doom, what further action could we take.

Thats always the problem with international bodies, thay fail to have any enforcement behind their laws. Like the 45334634 resolutions that were passed on Iraq for its chemical/bio weapons and they still refused to do anything when the USA said that they are done playing games with Iraq.

My university is another example they pass rules saying "no smoking in front of certain entrances" or "no food/cell phones in computer lab"...people still do it.

Some thing with the Johannesburg court, unless it was attached to some international peace keeping force then their laws don't have much enforcements...

Never trust mercenaries is another big rule of his, my nations uses mercenaries hehe

If you've read one of his works you've got tem all because they are pretty organized and they all follow the same, for the most part. His Art of War is all about not using mercenaries because of the experiences he saw throughout Italy of them depending on mercs only to be sold out to the highest bidder. I personally love The Prince but the Discourses has my favorite quote in it, "Whoever desires to found a state and give it laws, must start with assuming that all men are bad and ever ready to display their vicious nature, whenever they may find occasion for it."

It really didn't do much of anything. There's some minor flooding due to rain and abnormally high tides caused by storm surge and wind, but other than that, nothing much happened. Very little wind damage at all.

Actually, Cymrea and Huahin, it went more like this -

Terronian ( prior to being in Pacifinesia ) declares war on Azimeth ( prior to being in Pacifinesia as well ) *or vise versa*. Pacifinesia intervenes and tries to get them both to be peaceful, an Azimeth attacks a Tyrandisian ship to bring him into the war in hopes of Tyrandis destroying Terronian. Tyrandis goes to war with Azimeth, and sets up a NAP with Terronian. Terronian and Azimeth are admitted into Pacifinesia, and by default the rest of Pacifinesia declare war on Tyrandis. Tyrandis then forms KAIN with Safehaven2, Doomingsland, and Ottoman Khaif *And possibly Spizania, I think not though*. At the same time, Huahin declares war on Spizania, which sparks the war with Tyrandis a bit.

In the end, there is no one to really blame. Actually, the cause of the war is me bringing Azimeth here but yea...there is no longer a reason to be fighting other than Doomi invading Squorn. But Doomi invading Squorn isn't agressive on any level, it is a response to Squorn declaring war on Tyrandis, then soon Doomi.

We all have our guilt equally, and I think that the war is rather quite pointless now. The best thing, really, is if everyone were to sit down and talk it over now. 1 - The war isn't going anywhere, and 2 - No one is gaining anything out of it probably except some land, and 3 - The Chinese and Japanese would only add to the worstening of this equation...same once the Ottomans get involved as well. So, really, there is no agressor. The only real agressor no long exists, but if people want his leader for starting up the war...I do have him in my grasps.

So yea, I think that should sum things up.

Bahh, the Azimeth-Terronian 'fight' was the 'Australian Incident' which I instigated, where I gained hordes of Pacific Islands (traded for African territory) so in a way I am responsible, but I think the main reason for the whole shebang is Tyrandis' claim to all of Australia.

I should have taken care of the problem long ago...

a little tangent off the underwater cities thingy...

I'm considering building a small offshore island/platform to expand the small size of my country by just a fraction. I intend to use the island as an international city of sorts, with a small naval port [small as in only two or three large ships can fit in it...] I haven't calculated the area but I don't expect to create something like a monstrosity... I'm guessing at about 500m X 400m is probably going to be the largest dimensions of the island - more than likely less...

I'd just like to know in advance if this is a feasible project for this world [in RL, Japan built an airport island (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansai_International_Airport)]

I'm guessing at about 500m X 400m is probably going to be the largest dimensions of the island - more than likely less...

I'd just like to know in advance if this is a feasible project for this world [in RL, Japan built an airport island (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansai_International_Airport)]


EDIT: Also, here's my D/N (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=487539) - forgot to post it earlier ;)


Yes they did, they are called Megafloats ... here's a pic of the Airport:

3rd in Region (New York) and 2,338th in the NS world for Fastest Growing Economy. Currently, that has me 4th on E2, but only four people have bothered to say anything!

On another note the whole Space Elevator thing that new guy was talking about, there was an article on it in this weeks 'Economist', I will post some highlights for you all:

'The Economist', June 10th-16th 2006

Technology Quaterly Section

'Waiting for the Space Elevator'

"After decades of speculation, the idea of a "space elevator" capable of lifting payloads into orbit is being taken a bit more seriously."

"NASA, has provided a $400,000 prize-fund for an annual competition, the Space Elevator Challenge, to encourage...research...teams will test their designs for cables, and robotic lifts to climb up them."

"The concept of a space elevator is simple enough. An orbiting satellite is linked to the surface of the earth by a cable, which vehicles then climb up and down. However, to reach a satellite in geostationary orbit...the cable would have to be nearly 35,800km (22,250 miles) long. Such a cable would have to be phenomenally strong and light to support its own weight."

"Carbon nanotubes, tiny molecular-scale threads of carbon atoms, would be strong enough to build such a cable. (Even though nanotubes were discovered only in 1991, Dr. Clarke suggested something very similar in his book ('The Fountains of Paradise'): a "hyper-filament" made of "psuedo-one-dimensional diamond crystal.") But it is not yet possible to produce nanotubes in sufficient quantity, or to knit them into a rope with anything like the strength of the tiny, individual tubes...The strongest commercially avaliable fibre of the required weight is around 4% as strong as a space elevator would require...if research can increase the strength of that fibre by 50% a year, they will produce a fibre strong enough by 2013. Such speedy progress is not unusual in a new field."

"The next problem is to work out how to powe the lifts, which will take several days to make the long trip into orbit. Carrying fuel or batteries on board would be impractical. Climbing modules [are being designed] to be equipped with solar panels that receive power from a laser beamed from the ground. The technology to make this possible is still under development, but compared with the challenges posed by the cable, its straightforward."

"Then there is the danger of orbiting space debris left over from decades of launches, which could damage or destroy the cable...[some propose] using radar to detect chunks of debris before a collision, and then steering the cable around them. Fixing the bottom of the cable to an ocean going platform would make it easy to move."

"If these problems can be overcome, building a space elevator is expected to cost around $10 Billion...But NASA is sceptical, despite supporting the space-elevator competition. "Since the basic material has yet to be developed, it is still in the research phase and is not a current programme at NASA," says a spokesman."


A few tests werew recently carried out by LiftPort, one of the main companies behind the elevator programmes, in which robots climbed up a 1 mile cable.
I applaud the new guy for bringing this up as its very interesting, but my opinion is that it is just PMT, and beyond the reaches of E2, at least for now. However, it is a massive project with a lot of money in it, and I am sure this isn't the last that will be heard of the project. Thus, when more solid facts and figures emerge maybe this thing could be considered for E2. I would certainly have some interest in it as I have a lot of satellites and they are costly to repair, a Space Elevator could be the very thing thats needed, but right now I can't see it as feasible for E2.

Since I brought it to your attention then I claim first dibs on it as soon as it becomes MT.

Technically you have to go to Twice Geostationary Orbital Altitudes so your get centrifugal forces sufficient to balance out the mass of the lower half of the cable, ofcourse since your end is moving much much faster than it should be at that height, you can use it as a slingshot to get a free speed boost. I dont think its totally beyond our reach, but its not really that feasible for any one nation on Earth II.
And if you taper it, make it much thicker and more massive in the middle segment, you can in theory make it out of anything, the problem is the massive amount of material required

EDIT: Who says we can only build one?

Bjorn, Svart Tiger was placed on hiatus due to my exams, which are over and done with now. Got a 6'er in my english verbal exam! :-D Expect a post where the Marines start landing in Estonia very soon...

TG me Cot, simply landing without saying anything would be like me landing marines near Murmansk cuz I felt like it. Days of military meandering will end soon, I grow tired of the Operation: Spah crap where everyone dances on the line but won't go to war if they really want to. If you wanted Baltic States you should've gone to war, or at least made it perfectly clear what you were doing there. If you want them now you ain't gettign them by force, you'll have to negotiate. By both government's confirmation Estonia is a Bjornoyan territory. Thus trying to land hostile troops would obviously be an act of war, and you would be the aggressor, by which you would be breaking several treaties I have signed with you.

I guess it really depends on where you are. If you are Coastal, it won't work. But if you are more Inland, you could go deep.

*I just thought, you are Andorra*

Andorra is semi-mountainous, it wouldn't be a bad idea to go ahead AND build underground facilities. You could go a bit deep due to all the excess Continental Crust, and it would actually be a first on EII.

So yea, I think it is a feasible idea. The costs, h/e, high and the time to do it all...long. *Don't worry...Pantheaa is like Mexico, contact him...I'm sure he can get a few thousand Pantheaan workers for ya :-P*

Also, I do have one thing to suggest.

How will you get power? I can answer this as well, I just wonder if it is feasible. Maybe not MT, but I think you could try to get power from the underground reactions. Or, since you are mountainous, use a lot of Wind Mills to generate power. Meh, it would actually be highly difficult but I could see it done MTly. It could go into PMT a bit, but I think of PMT by 2015 anyways...and we are going up to 2010 I guess. I don't know, your best chance would be to discuss it abstractly with either Marimaia or Layarteb. But yes, I think you could do it.

Anyways, underground reactors would work too but a simple shake in the crust and a simple falling rock *big rock* could prove semi disastrous. But sure, you'd also need to vent out above the ground too. So yea, it works.

In defense I say fastest growing means nothing, a POS economy may quadruple in a day from 25 cent GDP per capita to $1.00 GDP per capita, and therefore be 'fastest growing' but it would still suck.

And otherwise NS economy simply sucks, such income taxes are absurd, if you have 100% income tax and it all goes to military, religion, and education how the hell are your people getting fed unless they're all soldiers... in which case who's growing the food?

Nevermind, pointless.

Pys, if you're up to it let me know, maybe doesn't need to be E2 only but who knows just a thought at the moment. After soccor might be better timing.

Oh yeah, when you get a chance Cot check TGs.

Jealous are we Bjorn? ;)

Listen for you new guys and DP and all of those else. OOC arguments that turn heated are to be brought to my forums. We have a massive post here and the mods and I have an agreement and that is, it stays civil and they don't shut it down. So if you can't be civil go to my forums where I could care less what happens. Anyone who causes the mods to come to our post gets banned from E2 forever and there is no lee way on that one. For all those who insist on screaming at them to go to the forums, I thank you but you are only adding fuel to the fire. Let me and Mari do what we have to do. Thank you.

I just noticed that Bylot Island is unclaimed. I hereby claim it :).

Air Force Island
Nottingham Island
Rowley Island
Resolution Island
Vansittart Island
Jens Munk Island
Akpatok Island
Salisbury Island
Big Island
White Island
Bray Island
Foley Island
Koch Island
Loks Land Island
Charlton Island
Belcher Island
Long Island
Akimiski Island


those are unclaimed too since Nunavut was broken up. They're all pretty much secondary islands of ones I have but I am not sure if they are listed as part of those islands, though I think they are.

Im telling you Lay, you need to revise the D13 rules so that a person doesn't invade or post when they are suppose to be on D13. Once they post the D13 should be void as you are no longer on vaction

Do you mean since the Northwest Territories were divided up and Nunavut Territory created?

I think these islands might best be suited to Huahin.

That whole province was split up massively amongst the islands. Some went to Huahin, some to Rome, a few to me, and now I found a bunch that went no where :).

Most of the minor Islands in that area are very clearly associated with a larger island or with the mainland itself. I think it should be pretty clear who should own which Islands.

Yeah these are all right around islands I own. They added a few thousand square kilometers to my size, which turns out better for everyone else because that is that much closer that I am to the ceiling.
