And in response, Godular wishes it known that we intend to build a 10 story building that will be connected to a carbon nanotube wire that will extend into geosynchronous orbit and be topped by a massive skyhook station adorned with a single gargoyle.

Thereby creating a skyscraper approximately 32000 kilometers in height.

It will be an architectural office, whose logo shall be "Practical and Efficient!"

OOC: I'd like to know how planning to build the world's tallest building results in a n00b war with n00ks flying around...especially when the nations involved don't usually act like n00bs.

Sanity, children! :D

In response, Godular TGs TBD and TPM with a list of its ICBMs, AMRAMs, SCUDs, OMGs, ROFLs, LMAOs, and several other acronyms. For no apparent reason, IIRC.

*coughs*

TBD you do know I have 305 story high tower in my capital that does in fact have anti-aircraft and at ground levels, anti-infantry and anti-armor systems. Inside the walls in sertain points are also internal automatic guns and so on.

I got you beat (and as I said in the comic that you have seen on the TNCforums) "So then Phoenixius and Witzgall blow the world up and all that is left are Burnsian liberals and Grunz, btu they die too. Stupid inactive ---s."

An other random and stupid moment from your neighborhood's Truitt.

Also, Chardonay already did something like this, a space elevator that only works for like 5 minutes. It still holds the record, lol.

In response to this news, behold the long built ITD capital building. 3 towers situated in the center of the capital building. The lead building is 290 stories tall and each floor is 40 meters by 40 meters. The two minor towers are each 180 stories tall and are also 40 by 40 meters. In addition, the towers extend 40 meters each underground. The tower has self cleaning windows, self defense missile launchers and several army and airforce bases stationed around it. The entire estate of the buildings is approximately the size of new york city.

The building has been reduced to a nuclear sinkhole by three RONA-Class Drill Missiles. 'Project Highlander' reigns supreme.
