Doomsday Clock Timeline

- August 14, 2007; doomsday clock set at nearing midnight after the threat of a nuclear exchange was intorduced in the Drvarska/Alfegos conflict.
- August 14, 2007; doomsday clock left at 1 minute to midnight due to oustanding conflicts involving the CA/NPE and Questers/Golgoth respectively.
- September 23, 2006; doomsday clock set to 1 minute to midnight with the creation of, and the actions taken by, the "Anti-CA Coalation."
- September 11, 2006; doomsday clock set to 3 minutes to midnight due to general unrest and the recent outbreak of wars.
- September 9, 2006; doomsday clock set to 4 minutes to midnight due to the build up of nuclear arms by ZAFT.
- Spetember 8, 2006; doomsday clock set to 5 minutes to midnight due to outstanding peace.
- September 7, 2006; doomsday clock set to 4 minutes to midnight with the opening of "The People's Cold War Storefront."
- September 7, 2006; doomsday clock is started at 5 minutes to midnight.

I base this time on the number of nuclear capable nations and the number of nuclear attacks launched by these nations. Feel free to use this thread to debate NS real time, I will edit the picture accordingly to accomidate what time the majority thinks it is.

Doomsday clock set to 4 minutes to midnight with the opening of "The People's Cold War Storefront."

Doomsday clock set to 5 minutes to midnight due to outstanding peace.

ooc: I don't understand the point of this? What is it about? Lol odly it vaguely resembles a dream I had a few years back about the end of the world.. probly cuz of some movie I forgot of.. so.... what happens at midnight? :cool:

OOC: The doomsday clock represents how close the world is to absolute destruction in a nuclear war. As each event that increases international tensions occurs, it slowly moves the clock closer to midnight, to absolute annihiliation

OOC: *Throws wrench into the gears* Ha! Now all I have to do is remove a few gears and we shall be safe once more!

OOC: Ah, a perfect time to remodel PRA Creative Weapons...

Look, NS Earth will never be completely destroyed. Apart from the fact that nuclear fallout seems to have no effect on the nations it isn't directly dropped on, NS Earth appears to be hugely, mind numbingly large.

It would be interesting to have all active rpers to rp the lead up, climax, and inevitable aftermath of a nuclear world war.. Though I doubt it, the number of people not wanting their pwetty purty bootiful perfect nations stained by nukes would prove to much. It would be cool though. Though I think it would be odd that every1s pops would remain the same lol. ;)

Meh...

well, be sure to put 30 seconds once I ever get into another war.

As long as the nation Anagonia (http://www.nationstates.net/anagonia) is still active, keep it set to "An amount of time not even worth recording on this clock." XD

It is pretty obvious that he (nor anybody else) doesn't actually believe that the world is going to be destroyed in nuclear holocaust.

No, I don't believe the world will be totaly destroyed by nukes. You know I (or mabey you) might die, but no one will nuke the WHOLE world. Unless the Dr.Strangelove senario works out...

Anyways this was just for fun and i will be keeping it up. But no, I don't think it will ever reach midnight. Unless everyone does decide to launch the NS world into WW3, then I will make it midnight.

Plus, don't you like my picture?

No can see the picture :( Says it has been moved/deleted.

What about the ongoing CA/GASN Skirnish in TWSP?

No can see the picture :( Says it has been moved/deleted.

NO!

And, TWSP, there hasn't been any Nuclear threats yet, have there?

How is it now? (the picture)

Its back but its way smaller.

You should make like an NSwiki article about this or something. Or I can make one.

Can I recomend Imageshack, I've been using it now for over a year and I've had no major problem yet, just the occasional broken link, I havn't yet filled it up and don't know the limits of an account and it's free dude, just a suggestion...

I use photobucket. It doesn't really matter what you use, as long as it works.

I know man, It's just I've seen plenty of times the Photobucket logo lording over the words "THIS PICTURE HAS BEEN MOVED OR DELETED!!!" So I go round dropping hints at Imageshack cos when Imageshack has a broken link it comes up with "X"

OOC: lets increase the time by lets say ZAFT begins arming it self with nuclear weapons in self defence

Ain't that for sure. Its like, "let's see the picture..." You click the link and get that annoying message. I just don't get rid of photos as long as whatever they are being used for is still around.

OOC: lets increase the time by lets say ZAFT begins arming it self with nuclear weapons in self defence

Who's ZAFT?

Yeah, I use photobucket. I'll work on enlarging it.

And mabey I will make an NS wiki about this...

ZAFT is Spit Breaks armed forces

Alright, I'll bump it to 4 minutes.

Doomsday clock set to 4 minutes to midnight due to the build up of nuclear arms by ZAFT.

It's a workin progress, but http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/NS_Doomsday_Clock.
I'm gonna write about what the doomsday clock is, try to re-aligne the "minutes to Midnight" thing, and make the clock smaller. Feel free to do some editing yourself, I understand NS wiki lets you do that.

Allied Union Strategic Defense Force possess over one hundred thousand seperate multi-megaton warheads with a combined explosive force of several hundred gigatons dispersed in orbital silos, naval assets, bomber squadrons, and silo groups across Velkyan territory, as well as bases abroad.

In addition to this, limited numbers of tactical nuclear weapons are kept in storage in case of a limited nuclear exchange, as well as a multi-tiered strategic defense system comprised of Brilliant Pebble dispensers, orbital, airborne, sea-based and ground-based lasers, anti-ballistic missile batteries, and last-ditch kinetic close in warfare systems.

On the conventional side, the Allied Union Defense Force is over seven thousand warships strong, excluding logistical and brownwater vessels, an air force over fifty thousand combat aircraft strong, and an army with over thirty million men and women.

Better push that clock up.

Velky, stop numberwanking for once;) so the rest of us can sleep peacefully :p

Yeah, but this is balanced out by their leader having secret sexual relations whilst wearing a Teletubby outfit.

Velkya, one word for you: HOUND.

'nuff said

"Nuclear War in NationStates? And I thought it was a myth."

Yeah, but this is balanced out by their leader having secret sexual relations whilst wearing a Teletubby outfit.

Tis the price of power, my friend.

What I'm really trying to point out here is that the world of NationStates is armed to the teeth and that I, only a medium sized nation, possess quite an arsenal of weapons. Brushfire conflicts and large scale wars between titantic nations are a near daily occurence here, and since there are so many different nations in so many different coalitions and alliances (unlike the Cold War, the time period in which the DDC was concieved, in which two nuclear armed power blocs were more-or-less teetering towards conflict), the idea of a nuclear doomsday involving the destruction of our Earth is safely impossible.

The doomsday clock of NS has hit midnight many times. For instance, MagicChina of long ago. Cluster nuking of nations. The thousands of new nations swinging their egos at each other with nukes every couple of months.

Urrghhh Magic China... urghhh

Nearly as bad a Lord Squall and the big gay beaver.

You're giving me nightmares.

Doomsday clock set to 4 minutes to midnight due to the build up of nuclear arms by ZAFT.

Yo dude, I heard somthing about Nukes on the New Ausha invasion thread, maybe it's time for 3 minutes to...

Yes, as do I. Here it comes.

Doomsday clock set to 3 minutes to midnight due to general unrest and the recent outbreak of wars.

Doomsday clock set to 1 minute to midnight with the creation of, and the actions taken by, the "Anti-CA Coalation."

Bump

I think it's good where it is with the whole Toops/BC/Wandy/CA/all others involved thing, though I personally doubt it will come to anything as drastic a nukes, incredibly unlikly from the way it's going now.

I think the peace brokered between British Londinium, VIZion and Cazelia by a coalition of nations should bump us back up.

Does no one pay attention to the Gholgoth/NATO vs QC war? It should be set at 1 second to midnight. :P

I second that, this war is going to destroy several of the largest powers on NS.

I think it should be at a minute past midnight, just for kicks. Or, set it to high noon so Taco Bell will have more people on their shift...

AD: And you can beat we're not gonna stop there. Imperialism ftw, watch out all you '06/'07 nations who think you're hot stuff, same goes for some of ya '05 nations.

Bump.

Well, it's good people are putting stuff like this on here, i'm not in tune to half of the NS world, only what's at the top of the forums when i'm awake and on here.

As to Kampfers and BC, there's something going down with the god rods incident and though it's purely OOC now, Kampfers is pulling alot of ignores and someone's gonna snap.

yeah, im going to lift one of the 2 ignores i have partially. And then i am going to forget about that rp. Not because i think i will lose or some lame thing like that. Personally, i dont think any of this rp would fly via drafteoom standards besides the Kahns and Rufous missiles. I remember doing research for Excalibur, and i think TSS was one of the people who helped point out its flaws. Simply, a laser can not exist in the atmosphere. In space, yes, but not on earth. Anyways, i still dont agree with how BC destroyed the god rod, but hell with it, ill rp out his attacks. Then i am going to try and put this behind me. If they invade me, then ill just give em so much hell with my tons of missiles that they will leave.

Er...not technically true. There's no feasible way to make a powerful beam of the kind that could be fielded on a military vessel yet that could pinpoint and shoot down godrods with effectiveness. However, you could pulse it...though, that wouldn't be particularly tough.

In short, it's not yet feasible to make an effective laser beam yet in atmosphere.

the beam spreads too much. I can link you later. Anyways, the lasers weren't my big issues. That was Visa launching some couple aircraft in one post when I already had planes to shoot at his stuff, and BCs destroying of the god rod...

Yeah, blooming, unless you induce a shockwave in front of it or use a phased array...which, currently, isn't either efficient or (in the last case) possible, so the feasible standard stays...

AD: And you can beat we're not gonna stop there. Imperialism ftw, watch out all you '06/'07 nations who think you're hot stuff, same goes for some of ya '05 nations.

You're ambitious and imperialistic. I'll help ya squish some little people!

Impulse kill is not somthing totally understood at this point in time anyway, and is really only effective against things containing guidance/fuel/HE inside of them.

A phased array laser? O.o?

Doomsday clock left at 1 minute to midnight due to oustanding conflicts involving the CA/NPE and Questers/Golgoth respectively.

The whole British Londinium glassing North Calaveras with 27,000 nuke probably doesn't help either...

I hurts my head to follow BL around II so I stopped.

2 milliseconds before midnight: the escalation of Drvarska - Alfegos tensions to the point a warning nuke was let off. Thankfully, it was self-destructed before it hit home.

I have decided to add another level to the clock since 1 minute isn't cutting it.

I would say the Gholgoth/NATO vs QC war has much more importance than the smaller conflicts. The nations in that war have the right to decide who lives or dies basically in II.

Doomsday clock set at nearing midnight after the threat of a nuclear exchange was intorduced in the Drvarska/Alfegos conflict.

True, some nations have the ability to kill alot more people but every nuclear threat is a nuclear threat. And many times if a small conflict goes nuclear, the bigger nations will step in and use their nuclear asenal in retaliation escalating it to gargantuan proportions. And seeing as how the bigger nations are less likely to resort to nukes in the first place, really every nuclear capable nation in II (which is all of them) poses the same amount of threat.

Therefore, no one is more important than anyone else.

OOC: Alf only fired dud nukes to scare Drvar from capturing a minister or something. Although he did fire a proper nuke at me, which was aborted mid-flight. Just some insight from me.

All the same the use of nuclear weapons in any form is often enough to result in retaliation from the target. Who is usually scared into action, though more often than not they were just waiting for an excuse to use the nukes.

OOC: Very well. Perhaps seconds to midnight would suffice, seeing as with Kraven invading BL and that, we're seem to be on the brink of world war, meaning things could get worse than they already are.
