It sure as hell better not, otherwise you might find your African cities suddenly becoming interesting geological craters (read: Thermite Plasma). Comprende?

None of your citizens are allowed in the COH anyway, your border with me is militarized and always locked down. How a landlocked country like yours even survives in Africa, without trading with any TATO members (to my knowledge-and if you do I would think they will cut you off) I really don't know. If the virus should, somehow, affect my nation then I'll consider it a direct attack on my nation. It matters not if it was an accident by your seemingly incompotent armed forces. I wonder, aswell, what sort of fuels keeps your economy going, islands and barren serengeti don't really provide much coal or oil or anything at all except dirt. You see what I'm getting at here?


I phased the majority of oil in my country months before you even joined E2. Furthermore, this is no ordinary virus; I suggest you read the thread. And finally, I have free trade agreements with Bjornoya and USB. And even more finally, Kenya is not landlocked. And even more finally than that, islands provide an excellent source of hydropower and solar power. And most finally of all, the outbreak was not due to incompetence but rather underestimation of the virus.

And how a country such as yours, being at a constant state of war readiness and lockdown in peacetime can survive with the approval of your multiple billions of citizens, is beyond my knowledge.

The only place in RL as militarized as you are is North Korea, and we all have been listening to our People's Radio broadcasts and Kim Jong-Il's speeches and know that they're happy.

If anyone here has read the Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks, which I highly recommend for the humor (they take it so seriously) anyway, will know everything about Solanum zombies. They are not unstoppable, as has been revealed. But it will be difficult, and will most likely require the efforts of more than one African nation to suppress.

Furthermore, zombies can survive underwater, so ocean currents may carry these things elsewhere (the Americas or Asia, for example), so we may all have to unite against the zombie menace...

What war footing? I don't keep the country on a war footing. Just because I lock down the borders with rogue states such as yours doesn't mean the country is at war. And one word from me and Bjornoya and USB will stop trading with you.
If you knew anything about my nation you'd see people have more freedom than most, freedom to choose Local, State and Province officials, the freedom to travel in approved countries, the freedom to leave their car unlocked, its windows down and the keys in the ignition without risk of it being stolen. Your Government has even covered up the damm virus- way to go there, bribe people here and there, go ahead- that sure is freedom. Umm...no- more like a certain Asian nation you mentioned. I hazard a guess that your definition of freedom is being able to download pornography and get bail after raping someone, or 5 years for murder. Perhaps freedom to you is freedom to use IV drugs or some other sort of evil. Like most people your definition of freedom is flawed at its core.

Underestimation-incompotence, same damm thing. They didn't research it properly- incompotence.

You have been duly warned.

Sorry, but I'm not all that fond of status quoes. :) Its been too quiet around here.

And Hirg, my definition of freedom is freedom to get your dick hacked off when you rape someone, get fined $100,000 when you are in possession of porn, get sentenced to hard labor for drug usage, and get executed by beheading or hanging (you get to choose!) when you murder.

Hirg is a strange nation kreynoria, his people live without freedom of press and don't mind one bit. And of course i don't understand why his boarders are militarized when he has nothing to fear being the largest nation with multiple alliances whose armies would gladly die fighting for Hirgizstan

On the other hand Kreynoria, get the virus under control terrorism from small ethnic groups is the number one problem in Pantheaa(my country is like RL israel) and if i see a single terrorist attack with that virus...i'll freak! Won't invade you though, i'll just freak out

Who says the Press have no freedoms? They're not allowed to infringe upon National Security, a la the NY Times, or publish sensitive information. The Press/Media Laws in the COH are all about the news being unbiased and objective as well as informing and intellectual. For instance in the COH you will not find Government criticism without a well thought out solution or an intelligent rebuttle. Pantheaa, like most people, you see a lack of the right to freedom of the press as an absence of it, but like Kreynoria's idea of freedom, your idea of press freedoms are also flawed.

I keep my borders militarized and I don't have relations with rogue nations because that protects my citizens which keeps them happy in the knowledge they face no evil force powerful enough to disturb their way of life, like Pantheaan terrorism or Kreynorian military idiocy. People are generally happy when they can go out at night without fear of getting mugged or raped and can let their kids play in the street without fear of sickos watching. Not only that but people also like it when they earn a lot of money and are upwardly mobile toward a better standard of life. How a bunch of strung out, island hopping wack-jobs (Kreynorians) are happy with their strange existance in the Pacific or how a bunch of ethnically and nationally misplaced terrorists (Pantheaans) can be happy living on a patch of land smaller than one of my Libyan States. If you can explain all that I'd be all ears.

If you two want to keep moaning then take it to the off-site forums.

Kreynoria, you've been warned about your stupid RP. Bare in mind what I said about an attack. If one of those things gets across the border you know what will happen. I won't have your run down Government's inability to deal with a crisis affecting the safety of my citizens or those of my allies. The border, in front of the three concrete barriers, is extremely heavily mined and dotted with tank trap ditches so you could run them into the minefields if you can somehow co-ordinate, but you'll have to pay for the mines as its not a war. My BDF forces on the border can shoot from the guard towers, but be warned again that a border breech will be considered an attack.
I would also like to know what this is doing to your economy.

How could you NOT be happy living on a lovely beach? Isn't that what every American wants? Obviously, I know not everyone is going to be happy, but why should they be unhappy with the situtation? I've been very creative in building up a transportation infrastructure; there are thousands of bridges, subways under the islands, huge ferry fleets, and an airstrip on most inhabited islands. And the government subsidizes the airlines and ferry lines so transportation between islands is very cheap.

Obviously, this event is going to ruin the economy temporarily, since most our mineral resources come from Kenya. And a minefield will not stop a zombie, since the only way to kill a zombie is by destoying its brain. Shrapnel from a mine rarely reaches the head, so these mines may blow off their legs and snap their spines, but they will keep crawling towards you till they're dead.

And yes the first mine or two will only distroy a zombie's legs, but as it crawls with its arms, won't its face be right down to the ground?
Hawdawg
06-08-2006, 03:47
Simple solution, carpet bomb the incoming waves of zombies and the problem is solved. I don't care how indestructible they are a loaded B-52 on a saturation bombing run will eliminate the threat. If they still are coming in waves thermite-napalm rounds burst above ground with proximity fuses will light the air on fire and burn the flesh from there bodies and effectively boil there brains in the skull. Skillfully placed antipersonnel mines, etc. in a defensive corridor would channel the attacking masses into choke points that would allow for a further elimination of the threat. If a massive wave was so large they couldn't be halted these measures above would severely limit there advance.

Krey, my mines are designed to shred humans, not just blow their legs off. The smallest Anti-Personnel mine has 50 Pounds of HE RDX and will turn a human being into red mist. The good thing is that the explosive charge is so great in tests more than 1 Target was destroyed. I could also use electric signals to change the pressure gauges on AT Mines, which are 100 Pounds plus of shaped charge.

The Decree 2 saga has ended, with everyone staying in one form or another:

USB is switching to a puppet on E5;
Kreynoria is switching to a puppet in E5;
ALM will be switching to a puppet (Saint Lazare) in E2 as soon as everything gets cleared up with said puppet;
DP is reviving an old nation to use as a puppet in E2, once everything gets cleared up with said revival;
Pyschotika has quit E5;
Neuvo Rica is switching to a puppet in E5

Land Changes:

Ottoman Khaif has transferred Yemen to Cotland; both confirmed it.

Pyschotika has transferred Tasmania, Victoria, part of Western Australia, part of Southern Australia, Canberra and New South Wales to Azimeth (so Azimeth has regained all his former territories); both confirmed it.

Name Changes:

RomeW's nation will be renamed Romania;
Doomingsland's nation will be renamed Imperial Dominion of Doomanum

As stated in a previous deal with Ottoman Khaif, I control unlimited rights to airspace, territorial waters, and basing in the eastern half of Yemen. This was contingent on my transfer of said land to him. So I assume I maintain these rights, even with Cottish control of the area?

So...I would like to petition Romania for a Cymrean revitalization and to join the Roman Union as the Imperial Dominion of Cymrea.

Yes?

NO!

Just kidding. You can have all your previous land back (Alaska (part), Andorra, British Columbia (north), Christmas Island, Norfolk Island, Sri Lanka (Central, Eastern, Sabaragamuwa, Southern, Uva) and you're welcome to join in the Roman Union. We're currently working on the Charter at the moment so we need your input.

Okay, now that Jolt seems to be working slightly better than the past few weeks, I think it's time for my evil plan.

After a few more wrapping up posts in Blazing Thunder, Squornshelous is going to have a civil war, with Russian Squornshelous against North American Squornshelous. Basicly, the premise is, the Russian side feels that they were dragged into the war with Doom and Tyrandis, and is pissed off at the North American side, where the seat of government is. This war will be wide open for other nations to participate on the side they support.

Depending on how often Jolt permits me to log in, this could start up as early as next week.

Well, considering you're bordering Roman territory, you can be sure we'll be involved. Just not sure how now though.

EDIT- "RomeW is ranked 1st in the region and 9,600th in the world for Most Rebellious Youth."

Right now, I'm in a rebellious mood. Fired from two straight positions and stuck in the coldest town in the world (Alliston). I definitely need a life change. Anyone got a job I can do so I can really say "F*** you" to my sorry little town?

I had a sneaking feeling Jean-Pierre Dumont was going to come up in this...:p

Anyway, we re-signed Daniel Briere (that was a close one), signed Jaroslav Spacek and lost Jay McKee, Mike Grier and Martin Biron. As far as Dumont goes, I'm not disappointed by the decision- I didn't like him much (he could score and could score some big goals, but in the clutch it was more and more Briere doing it all) and if he leaves, it'll be Derek Roy, Ales Kotalik, Jiri Novotny and Tomas Vanek taking his place. I'm especially high on Roy and Kotalik- they're ready for bigger roles after the playoffs they had.

Ryan Miller's still unsigned but he'll be on board, and Darcy Reiger said that Dumont's been offered a new contract, so who knows.

So, how'd the Flyers do?

Yea I think you'll do just fine without JP Dumont + McKay. I would have thought a trade involving Biron would be more benefical but you could afford to lose him nonetheless with Miller. I suspect youll be holding onto him for as long as possible. Roy and Kotalik are going to do very well this year, i especially like Kotalik for you.

The Flyers,well i dont really know what to think.

We lost Micheal Handzus, Eric Desjardans, Kim Johnson, and maybe one more. We have yet to resign gagne although i believe they are just working out money, Clarke would dare never lose him. Foresberg is supposed to be back for the start skipping his second surgery. Kieth Priemou is questionable again!

We picked up Nolan Baumgartiner, Randy Robatille [SP], Kyle Calder, and Geoff Sanderson. For the most part we are very very young. I couldnt even begin to tell you the people they brought up. Looks like Clarke is preparing for the future, which is smart...if i didnt want a cup so bad.

We'll have a good seaon, that much i know, but just how good?

Oh Yes and we have two world class goalies that we signed, Nitty and Esche. Clarke says well wait and see because we always have the option to trade one of them cough esche cough.

Okies guys, since Lay is back either tomorrow or the day after (he said his vacation was until the 11th, but since he might well be knackered there's the distinct possibility that it'll be the 12th), I just want to check that I have all the updates/changes/etc. sorted out for him.

The Decree 2 saga has ended, with everyone staying in one form or another:

USB is switching to a puppet on E5;
Kreynoria is switching to a puppet in E5;
ALM will be switching to a puppet (Saint Lazare) in E2 as soon as everything gets cleared up with said puppet;
DP is reviving an old nation to use as a puppet in E2, once everything gets cleared up with said revival;
Pyschotika has quit E5;
Neuvo Rica is switching to a puppet in E5

Land Changes:

Ottoman Khaif has transferred Yemen to Cotland; both confirmed it.

Pyschotika has transferred Tasmania, Victoria, part of Western Australia, part of Southern Australia, Canberra and New South Wales to Azimeth (so Azimeth has regained all his former territories); both confirmed it.

Name Changes:

RomeW's nation will be renamed Romania;
Doomingsland's nation will be renamed Imperial Dominion of Doomanum

I think what the Sabres are doing with Biron is waiting for the right offer. We're not going to trade him for nothing- and maybe we'll use him to land J-P Dumont's replacement. We're having cap problems though so that may be an issue, but I hope we won't do what the Vancouver Canucks (who I also like) did when they traded Dan Cloutier for just a draft pick. I am hopeful that Kotalik or Roy really blossoms- Daniel Briere will need the help up front, with or without Dumont. We lost to Carolina because we didn't have anyone- other than Briere- who could grab the bull by the horns and take a game though we did put a good fight (I still hold we were the last team to really "beat" the Hurricanes, because the Edmonton Oilers didn't really "beat" Carolina until Game 6- the rest of the time they were just lucky). The Sabres won't be a surprise anymore so Darcy Reiger can't be complacent, but I like what he and Lindy Ruff have done so far.

I like Robert Esche...but you're right in saying one of Antero Nittymaki or Esche needs to go- they're both elite goaltenders. I'm big on Kyle Calder and Geoff Sanderson's still got his legs (but he's getting old), but Nolan Baumgartner and Randy Robitaille are journeymen who haven't stuck anywhere; and, as much as I may not agree with Bobby Clarke's methods, I think he's doing a fine job and I trust he knows what he's doing. Besides, Jeff Carter and Michael Richards are one year older so that will help. Eric Desjardins wasn't as good as he once was but Kim Jonsson- that will hurt. Where did he go?

Why would you even spend the money watching or buying V for Vendetta or Syrianna?

The other stars Clooney Tunes (George Clooney) and is anti everything to do with oil and capitalism. If I see a movie with too many liberals and liberal views, I avoid it.

Old operations, warplans declassified
The Defense Ministry declassified several crates of documents today, including "Operation Mini-Dog". The operation was the highly classified Cottish warplan to train dogs to take the place of humans at weapons installations in case the human is killed. Developed and tested during the first Cold War (read: the TOA vs Pushka era) but later cancelled due to poor results. Only one of the twenty dogs in the programme managed to actually fire the M134 Minigun. Unfortunately, it hit the trainer and several higher-ranking officers before a sentry shot the dog. The operation cost approximately $675 million, and lastet three years.

As far as my artistic skills go, I'm the kind of guy that would splash a bucket of paint onto a canvas and call that my "abstract art"- although I'd say my writing is an art, and that I'm good at.

It probably has more to do with NS than Jolt- the NationStates team isn't keeping up with Jolt's updates, and that's why they have problems. Case in point: when was the last time NS was updated?

How could it be NationStates? All they have is a single link to the forum that automatically signs you in based on whatever nation you are logged into, which would be an extremely easy script to maintain. The problem is that everytime they upgrade Jolt and the code therein, it could change the script or not recognize it because of incompatibility problems or because it is not as dated as the upgrade. I would stick the problem with Jolt because, let's face it, NationStates has no bearing on Jolt. Jolt is a separate entity unto itself. Notice the domains: forums.jolt.co.uk and nationstates.net. The only thing that they share is that they're both in the UK.

Well, I don't know the whole situation- it may be a communications error whereby Jolt isn't telling NS about the updates, but is NS' responsibility to ensure that the code is always operational.

On a slightly different note, I recieved a letter from the Military today. It was a warning that I would be required to do my 12 months service in the Royal Norwegian Air Force, starting in January '07. Hopefully, I'll get to postpone it until after I've taken the Bachelor.

From what I'm guessing, it may go all the way back to 410, when the Romans pulled out, or even further, to 55 BC when Julius Caesar first invaded it. Seems to offer a panoramic view of British history- very interesting.

That Schama guy was great for a while, did some excellent programs, especially the 'History of Britain', but apparently they had to stop future planned programs because he was demanding too much money. Thus a sketch show once mocked him by doing the history of Henry VIII using only three props- scales, a cake and a pack of cards- because thats all the show could afford after his fee.
I kind of fell out of liking him after he published a book called 'Rough Crossings', which basically blamed the US for slavery. Naturally he was slammed by loads of historians for pandering to Europe's anti-US Feeling at the time and for looking for a quick scapegoat to a problem that was much more than something you could simply blame on one country. Despite his prowess as a historian of Britain, the rest of his work seems to be populist and ill-researched.

Shit, sorry guys I was all ready to come back two weeks ago but work kicked my ass. Was more or less trying to reclaim the school's network from the kids who hacked it, a task that I had no friggin clue how to do. After a while the ones who were hacking into administator accounts showed me how they did it and why they did it (they wanted to download games on their computers, something they could not do on their own accounts) I was impressed enough to spare them my wrath.

In the end I figured the kids were more apt at handling computer problems than a bunch of archaic bureacratic drones who type 'The password is mydocuments' as the hint for the password to administrator accounts. And after that I bid a fond adeiu to that hell-hole and have returned to college where I shall have much more time to play. I had the 7-3:30 shift and split my 8 hours of sleep in half (would sleep from 4-8, get up and eat, then sleep from 2-6) which is why I had so little RPing time this summer.

Antarctica: To all Antarctican nations and all other nations. I've been looking for a more accurate map of Antarctica and should it be found would you be upset with a land jumble in it that would give much more accurate area. I would try to keep your area much as it is now so there would be little change, if any.

Was anyone watching Fox and Freinds this morning? I was and about 20 minutes ago they did a story about this TV Film on Channel 4 (Mega-Hippie-Liberal-Commie channel that the BBC have too much to do with) called Death of a President. Can you guess what its about?

Funnily enough the 'President' looks and acts and does like President Bush, yet he apparently is not called that. What this piece of shit film is basically a British protest film showing some nutcase killing the President. What the fuck is the problem with British people these days? American saved your ass twice, show a little respect bitches. Just because America wants to kill terrorists instead of give them houses and hand-outs doesn't mean you gotta make a dis-respectful and dangerous film about it. Damm it I am pissed off.

Yeah I remember a few years back when some Dutch Mayor was raising hell about the US going into Afcrazystan and a WWII veteran (101st Airborne) wrote him a letter reminding him that our sacrifice so many years ago allowed him to avoid permanently speaking German. He went on to say he wouldn't piss on his town if it was on fire now. The entire European community convienently forgets the lengths the US made in and after WW II to prop them up. Without the Marshall Plan France and everyone else in Mainland Europe would have become a puppet of the USSR. But then again folks these days are so eat up with themselves I wonder where this will all lead.

Hey guys i just got back from my leadership institute training. I have a difficult job this fall. I have to go to college campuses in Iowa and help start up conservative clubs (gun clubs, pro life, pro capitalist clubs, publications). Im a right wing Vlad Lenin. So i'll be on the road for the next 10 weeks, though i will still be active on NS. Then after forming those groups i have to have them take part in some kind of event...a protest or something like that.

I plan to start a lot of pro capitalist and gun clubs. Don't care much for pro life clubs, but when i form my first pro capitalist club i have an excellent idea for an event. Were going to the nearest wal mart and protesting the fact that they sell Che shirts. We can even demand that they put other mass murderers like OBL on T shirts. If im succussful i can get Che shirts pulled off the shelves at Wal Mart. hehehehehehe

I have discussed with an unnamed member of Earth II who owns a nice amount of land in order for my group to exsist. I dont want to make any posts untill you have given permission to me. Keep in kmind though terrorist attacks are suppose to be random and not knowen so this message is strictly OOC of cource and it would be rather cheap if suddenly terror threat alerts became stronger in every country. My targets will not be names untill after the fact, as well as the person hosting me. I was wondering though if there was anything in your charter that will not allow me to do this, I read through it but I might have missed somthing.
