The current arguement revolves around the Denemay nuclear strike which is highly unjustified. We pin-prick his massive (with no stats) ships, and he fires two tactical nukes.

I say that he cannot afford them with the massive navy he has deployed.

Pudu declares that this is all irrelevant, as to hit our fleet, from the submarines he has deployed, the missile can be shot down in the terminal stage, before it even gets close, with ABM systems.

I agree, they say it can't be, for no other reason than it just can't.

Then they declared our fleet destroyed.

So we level the charge of godmoding, and that Pudu can easily take down those missiles and that we should have a fair naval battle.

The weakest nuke every would sink the ships nearby and leave the majority of the fleet floating but irradiated. And besides he said this was an OOC thread:

We can make an agreement, now lets go where the problem started:

Counter missiles fired, but not enough, some of the missiles struck the ships. But luckily the navy likes a few big ones instead of lots of dinky ones.

"We must defend our ally!" said the Emporer in a speech. And at the same time, the subs fired two minute (small enough to where it will just blow up the fleet) nuclear missiles straight at the heart of the fleets.

OOC: I'll make a map later

Then comes our OOC protests that Demaray cannot have nukes as he is too young to develop them IC, adn he has yet to produce an order form buying them.

Engaging Demaray Fleet, Pudite 1st SOTF, Nuclear Attack
The twenty helicopters sent to discharge the pair of nuclear-powered and apparently missile submarines quickly detected the large, swiftly rising shape of a ballistic missile, and the fleet was alerted via automated fail safes.

Taking this in quickly, every ship in the fleet, including the stealth carriers as well as the swift corvettes and scout frigates, immediately fired a response. The slow-moving nature and large size of a nuclear missile made it an absolutely delicious target for the nimble missile defense systems of the Pudite fleet, designed to take down much smaller and faster targets...

Launching even before the pair of enemy missiles left the surface of the water, the Pudite countermeasures were moving. Every single fleet-ship instinctively launched twenty-four of their S-300V ship-to-air missiles, a salvo totaling over seventeen-hundred missiles, directed at only two foreign objects. There was no way for them to miss...

It was a good thing these cargo ships were so nearby, after this battle the missile tubes of these ships would need a reloading, badly, if the missile usage continued as it did...

He effectively RPed the destruction of the nukes pointed at us. Now, it is a small nuke, but we are close enough for long-range antishipping missiles, putting us well in range of ABM systems, and since it is so close and such a large target, it would be immensely easy for Pudite countermeasures to destroy them.

Pudu isn't a fleet of scraps and 80's era ships. He is post-modern fleet with highly sophisticated ships and electronics.

We can remember whatever we want. We will take whatever we want, pending discussion of this nuke business.

Now I say that he couldn't afford them int he first place, nor could they be domestically developed.

Pudu shot them down.

Both of these are being ignored, and you have godmoded the destruction of our fleet.

So lets stop beating around the bush.

Do you accept the destruction of the nuclear missiles by the Pudite fleet, or do we have to get into the long and nasty discussion about whether or not he could have afforded to develop nukes or buy them.

In our RL world, there are more than 2500 satellites in orbit. Imagine in NS world, how crowded it could be. Some nations boast 2500 military satellites in orbit. And my nation fields around 1500 if we count ones that are active but not in service.

Boy I missed quite a tiff here eh?

Technically it isn't a real rule, but a guideline, but a strictly enforced guideline.

Nuke development isn't easy and requires years, upon years of technical expertise and trillion of dollars of investment to produce a simple implosion type bomb, and much more time before it can fit in a missile, and even longer time to have it fit in a tiny MIRV warhead, and even more investment and time to have it launch out of a submarine. At least 35 years of development which is more than one month NS time wise, and usually most nations wait for the 3 month mark before they announce they've done it.

Now the 35 year timeline is if the government invests all it can into development, therefore, no fancy ships or guns until the nuke is done. The 3 month timeline is used because you don't put all your eggs into one basket.

Woah, missed this... Where to start, where to start...

We'll go from the beggining of the sentance;

1) No, you don't. You have a population of 73 million, and with 5% of that enlisted, (which is an ABSOLUTE maximum), you could only have 3,650,000 men in the entire armed forces, and realistic logistic force behind this is the ratio 1:7. Now with this ratio, we have a force of 456,250 combat troops. This is divided between your Air Force pilots, Navy crew, and all your soldiers.

2) Don't think I have only a million men, that is but half of a single Army Group. Don't get arrogant, I have a military budget that could buy your nation, many, many times.

3) I do believe that he tried to nuke me, but I shot it down using the missiles DESCRIBED IN THE STATS I HAVE FOR MY SHIPS. You should get some of those. Read the post, it's totaly fair.

4) Do I even have to tell you why a nation with a military budget of 60 billion dollars cannot afford this...

21-11-2006, 01:29
As far as I can tell Galations and Demeray are have a tough time accepting the downing of his nuke before it was able to detonate... Now the nuke would not detonate because first of all if you la8nched the nuke with it being ASAP detonable you run a HUGE risk of having the nuke exploded right on the launch pad. you would have to have a monitoring staff ready to activate the nukes detonation system. To enable its ability to strike. Now how does this tie in with the argument of

" If the nuke hits you..boom, if it was shot down and exploded under water...your fleet is dead."

Well to simply put if your missile was not armed for detonation, no it wont exploded in the water. It want exploded at all.

And mini-nukes doesn't carry the radioactive killing power of a full strength one. the amount of radioactive material used isn't enough. you would get a mini version of a regular nuke. and I stress mini version. we are talking about a 10 sec light show tops.Not really enough to take out a fleet of this size.

and with all of your Fighting force galations is boosting about, not all of them are going to be navy trained. you still need air force and ground forces plus logistics. so out of your 8 million man army you can use about an 8 th of it for the navy.

No, everyone said that sale was illegal as imperial isa is a god modder from future tech land.

That too, in addition; no nation has 100 trillion dollars in spending money... So, either way, what you say cannot be true.

Imperial Isa just tried to sell me highly purified iridian ore for a suspiciously low price.

I asked where it came from:

"Replicators".

So MT/PMT.

And then, a further operation commensed. A terrorist in Blackhelm. He had in one hand, a vile. In the other, a bomb. He had arrived earlier that week. His plane took out from Galation. A janitor, also in on this, had carried the vile in his cart past security, and placed it in the bathroom where the terrorist later retrieved it. With the vile, which was full of an engineered disease, Galish Influenza V2, that kills it's vistims in several hours by eating their arteries, he was in the Capital. He threw the vile to the ground. A toxic gas came out. People would get infected very soon. An epidemic would now start. And none of this was traceable back to Galation.

First off its vial.

Secondly, we need justification here. Despite being PMT and allowing alloys to be made and genetic engineering to be done on people, this goes too far. I can't imagine a disease that kills its victims in a few hours by 'eating their arteries' spread beyond 3 blocks because it kills too fast.

I also can't see it as a toxic gas. And if you just did that, congratulations viruses can't survive in air and you just slaughtered them. You should have put them in the water supply or something.

Even if we allow it to survive, it still is ultimately the worst virus ever, it eats arteries. You've defeated the purpose of influenza's ability to spread, via the lungs.

Lets say for the sake of argument the toxic gas does do something, instead of putting the viruses on the ground and letting them die. It'll enter through the lungs and begin the replication process inside the arteries. It replicates extremely fast and immediately internal bleeding starts. It'll spread rapidly to the heart and the person's organs will be crushed and lack of oxygen will kill the person.

He has probably not coughed, and he will collapse, and because arteries are deeply embedded in our bodies, the only sign of internal bleeding will be his change in colour and texture. He'll be quarantined, the virus identified, and the terrorist who threw it on the ground will die. Immigration will identify him as a man who arrived on board a plane from Galation. And this will give ample justification for the Blackhelm Confederacy to enter the war.

Outsider's view:

Leafanistan: Bacteria can survive in air. I think multiple people would walk past the place of the gas and thus be infected. Before they are quarantined, they move around and get more people infected, then they move around and so on, thus an epidemic. Also Galation, you also left major gaps in the scheme. Like how did the virus get to the janitor? Terrorism is VERY hard to trace back to a government though, you have a point.

OOC: unfortunately, this isn't a bacteria, it is a virus, so it cannot survive in air.

Hmm, but doesn't bacteria cause diseases? I guess high school biology needs to cover more material.

They both cause diseases...but influenza, or any deriviant thereof, is a virus.

3 Large Battleships
2 Nuclear Subs
200 Medium escort ships
2 Hospital Ships
2 Medium aircraft carriers, 150 F-14s each

3 Large Battleships (assuming Iowa class Battleship, 1980's complement): 5400 crew
2 nuclear subs (assuming Los Angeles class Submarine): 280 crew
200 Medium escort ships, also a supercarrier is a Nimitz which can hold up to 90 aircraft, therefore, a 150 aircraft carrier is your medium, the escort ships must be huge, (assuming Kirov class Cruiser): 142,000 crew
2 Hospital Ships (assuming Mercy class Hospital Ship): 2550 crew
2 Medium aircraft carriers, (assuming 1.5 times the crew of Nimitz including pilots): 17,100 crew

Total: 167,330 crew total on this fleet. Going with the 1:7 logistics ratio of PMT/MT you have 1.2 million sailors supporting this fleet.

With 89 million people that is 4.45 million people in your military. That is with a wartime max of 5% (or else your economy collapses), you cannot support an 8 million man army much less a military, and the fleet you just deployed comprises your entire unbalanced navy, unless your navy comprises of more than 1/4 your possible military.

We are not dealing with bacteria. This is influenza, a virus. Also how does it spread? They aren't coughing, they just get dizzy, stupefied, perhaps get a nosebleed and then drop dead. The bacteria are trapped in the blood and on the ground. I can understand it becomes spores but even if we somehow made a bacteria that eats only arteries, reproduces at a ridiculous rate, kills its victims in a few hours, it doesn't spend enough time in someone to spread. Think about how many people you see in 8 hours. Think about how many people you coughed on. Think about how many will actually inhale that air within seconds after it comes out. How many will get enough in their lungs and arteries to overwhelm your innate immunity and kill someone. Not enough time to create an epidemic.

Also from what I understand, the terrorist brought the vial to a janitor. Who took it to a building in the capital of the Blackhelm Confederacy (Not even the Griffencrest Headquarters). Godmoded the janitor, a Confederate citizen, to do his terrorism for him to sneak the vial past security. Then somehow the terrorist on his own gets past security and breaks the vial on the ground, poisoning himself and due to fact that he is a Galation citizen convince the Blackhelm Confederacy that the Griffencrest Corporation's crusade is just and leading an invasion by a far more powerful military.

Thank you, if you call it the flu, its a virus.

OOC: Kinda sick and not at home, so updates may be infrequent, British Londinium seems well versed enough to help cover this debate.

OOC: Ok there is a point where politeness completely falls apart in an RP.

You were nuked, beyond belief, it'll take years to repair this damage, at least a decade via Leafanistani Radiation absorbing bacteria. After that, the best I can do is harvest isotopes for medical uses and wait another decade to begin building.

To control an island, you need people and people tend not to survive when they have been either:

A) Vaporized
B) Incinerated
C) Suffocated
D) Irradiated
E) Dead...ed

All of these are symptoms of a nuclear attack.

Face it, you have lost, and there is no chance of survival for your nation. Those who do survive will be brutally enslaved and probably used as slave labor on the islands to rebuild them. Their mutated children will tell stories of their foolish ancestors who blasted their lands to nothingness and forced their race into slavery.

At this point, while it may be bad etiquette while the original owner is still babbling that his world has survived, we might as well claim the land, as there is no way anyone could have survived that.
