Scolopendran scientists have discovered a new property of nature Herself! By using fire inside an enclosed bag of air, we form MONTGOLFIER GAS, allowing the bag to rise off the ground!
With this new gas, we can ride the winds like the clouds. Armies can use these Montgolfier Gas flyingbags to aid in command and control and to better aim their cannon. Maybe we'll even make it TO THE MOON HERSELF.

Blame Xanthal (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=91194)
OOC: :lol: yup... blame Xanthal... great title by the way... it compelled me to look at this thread.

Oh.... so he *bleep*ed with time and you reverted your nation as a parody. Nice.... :wink:

oi ur wasting my time but really clever title
*Studies picture of Montgolfier for a while*

Who is Xanthol? I feel lost... :PXanthal is a space nation that is widely Ignored. I wouldn't advise going near him, really. I would Ignore him, but I'd lose half my shield tech as I (illegally) copied and modified the tech for my ships.

Oh ok, so i am new to this, you have techs that you can get for your nation? Hmm? Thanks. Do tell me more about getting technology for your nation. Oh and what does Xanthal do if you go around "him", makes your nation disappear?

i'd say the greatest invention was the battery powered
alternative energy charged narrow gauge railroad.
at least you know where you're going and there's a good chance you'll get there.
of course it could be bombed from one of your gas bags
IF
the breeze just hapened to be favorable to getting one into possition
and you never know what delightful new people you'll meet when you land
=^^=

You hurt me on the inside... Well, if you need a reason to ignore me, I've made a thread with six of them.
TPA scientists have created an even more laudable breakthrough:
By the refinement of several pieces of convex and concave spectacle-glass, we have created a device by which ordinary people such as you or I, can view the tiny animalcules present in drops of pond water and blood.
We call it the MAGNITROPE
We're all on the cutting edge of the future here...
...But my part of the edge is sharper.

*pushes Xanthal down on his sharp edge* :D
"You think you've won, but now there's two of me!"
Xanthal's two halves begin hopping about on their respective legs.

*falls over laughing at sight*
Xanthal's two halves try to put themselves back together, but only suceed in knocking each other over. Through incredible acrobatic skill, they manage to get up again. One leans on the duller edge of the knife for support while the other hands The Pakleds a baloon.

The Trasian Emperor get's tired of PPL picking on Xanthal so he takes out a Walther and shoots the idiot attacking Xanthal

The Neralli Second Speaker for External Affairs fires an arbalest at the Trasian Emperor.
I'm sorry, but you are all wrong. The best invention ever was the bung heef. It was invented by Oggie Giccaglia in 1998 and patented that same year (patent number 383839488). To find out more about the beautifious bung heef, t-gram The Grand Duchy of I-rey.
Tenacious D... awesome, as always :lol:
"Ahhhh!!!" The Xanthals chorus as they run from the crazy hilbilly.

Now here is an excellent candidate for the vats.
the Trasian dodges the shot and orders the TSD to nuke Neralli
he waves him byebye and takes cover

Xanthal merges back together by the miracle of science. He keeps running.
"We're not on the face of the earth, so we can't be wiped off it. And...which airship would that be?"
?? owie, i have incurred the wrath of the mods :shock:
Well. Truce, it seems, is in order.
"Yay! Truce!"
Xanthal gets back on his cutting edge.
agreed, just do not tease the poor xanthal ok?
That's what I get for inventing a new uber-tech and opening a topic to mock myself in the same day...

Last Hijack, I worked ten minutes to find those pics and I'm not gonna let it be for nothing!

Fair enough, I only fired the arbalest because the Walther was, in my opinion, a bit high-tech for this thread.
OOC:
I cannot, for all the gold in the world, imagine how someone could actually conceive of the motorcycle cow. Antlers on the front of trucks let alone school buses (of which I've seen) is bad enough.

Hehe.
Horns on the grills of buses and trucks seems like a good idea in practice.
I guess it'd be slightly absurd if you were to actually see it in real life.

OOC: What? Unless you want to skewer wildlife or people when you hit them or perhaps impale various pieces of meat and park close to a fire for roasting purposes - I really don't understand.
Besides, that cow motorcycle appears to be missing a gunrack. :)

It doesn't need one. A 20mm cannon resides in the snout of the cow.
