Re: The Salvation War: Pantheocide Part Eighty Two Up
Last time that I looked the Hostilities didn't end until Heaven's forces surrendered. But have you noticed that despite this, humans were setting up infrastructure to run Minos gate in permanent sense. This is because it is far better to do system from beginning which is not totally ad hoc in natur...

Re: The Salvation War: Pantheocide Part Eighty Two Up
The courts will have to decide if a contract with a specific time-table is still in-force after death. For example if someone is 20-years into a 100-year prison sentence according to what you say they are free and clear after their death. I could see contracts with specific end dates enforceable wi...

Re: The Salvation War: Pantheocide Part Eighty Two Up
Lt Kim specifically asked to get paid again and specifically said that they where back in the army to the rest of the team. She actually delighted in the thought of causing the headaches in the Army payroll system by being asked to be paid after she was dead. This would tell me that she opted to co...

Re: The Salvation War: Pantheocide Part Eighty Two Up
The second-life "defections" I don't see as a huge issue. I could see the Military just saying your enlistment term isn't up yet. It isn't like the military allows people to leave in the middle of a deployment or major conflict. Even now they do "stop-loss" for military personee...

Re: The Salvation War: Pantheocide Part Eighty Two Up
And at that point they would have been able to envelop and destroy the single largest military force on earth, and the only thing between the hellmouth and civilization. They would'nt have gone global, but they would have taken a chunk out of the mideast and Lucifer might have been bold enough to d...

Re: The Salvation War: Pantheocide Part Eighty Two Up
Thanks Stuart for the response. Given this reason, I am suprised that the decision was made to then nuke the army of light in Heaven. It seems the human conventional forces where well equipped to go after and destroy this army. I mean three well equipped army groups where been brought into Heaven. ...

Re: The Salvation War: Pantheocide Part Eighty Two Up
The in-story reasoning behind the reticence over using nukes was two-fold, one of them being a conscious decision to keep them back as an ace-in-the-hole in case things turned very ugly, very quickly. After all, at the time the stories were taking place, the human protagonists had no idea what they...

Re: The Salvation War: Pantheocide Part Eighty Two Up
Even coming when it did, the balance had been fine indeed. Had the human armies run out of ammunition during the Curbstomp War or if Heaven had followed up with an invasion immediately after the fall of Hell, things might have been different. I really have a hard time with this line. At the end of ...

Re: The Salvation War: Pantheocide Part Eighty Two Up
The rock attack was (I think) either Raphael or Azrael. Michael was only involved insofar as he was a part of the command structure of heaven. As for Jerusalem, it can be argued that the beasts were directly under the authority of Yaweh. The only stuff Michael can be proven linked to is Myanmar, an...

Re: The Salvation War: Pantheocide Part Eighty Two Up
Wow. Things could hardly be going better for Michael, it seems, which is probably no bad thing visavis heavenly stability. I'm sure Petraeus must still be healthily suspicious that it's all a little too perfect, but once the media get hold of this story, he'll be all but untouchable. It'd take peop...

Re: The Salvation War: Pantheocide. Part Eighty One Up
I wonder about prosecuting criminals found in hell. I mean, they were sentenced to death and their punishment was given out. Shouldn't they be free now? That also depends on who's doing the prosecuting. I imagine that Israelis would have no trouble resentencing every single one of the Nazis execute...

Hi Stuart. I'd like to raise an issue with you over the portrayal of kitten.Do you think its a fair portrayal of transgendered individuals compared to cisgendered individuals (basically meaning us who identify as a single gender)?The basic stereotype can be offensive to the fringe audience of trans...

Re: The Salvation War: Pantheocide. Part Sixty Eight Up
I'm not familiar with the "demonic-build" Martini-Henry, but can it still fire while the "pig sticker"-type bayonet is mounted? That would be another mark in favor of the bayonet, so I'm guessing that the rise of the M114-type rifle (in .458 Winchester) led to the bucking of the...

Re: The Salvation War: Pantheocide. Part Sixty Two Up
This is exactly what would have happened if Armageddon would have happened in the TBO universe. SAC would have rained nuclear destruction down on Satan's armies instead of engaging them in ground to ground combat. Satan would have felt the full force of the nuclear destructive power that humans can...

Re: The Salvation War: Pantheocide. Part Sixty Two Up
As Baughn said, the most immediate and obvious solution would have been to start using trident nuclear missiles in an air defense capacity. :wink: Something in the 10kt range would probably kill all the harpies all at once without unmanagable effects on the army below; especially if detonated at ra...

Re: The Salvation War: Pantheocide. Part Fifty Seven Up
I have to wonder what the HEA's contingency plan is for when they find criminals? Do they take them back to prison, or do they figure they have been through enough? What about when they find Hitler or Stalin, or Nazi war criminals that had already been put to death? While were at it, i'd like to kn...

Especially when the Germans donate the first two submarines.We are but diesel-electrics are swines to pick up, especially the German-built ones (one pays a cost premium for the German boats but the quality of construction is worth it).

Re: The Salvation War: Pantheocide. Part Thirty Nine Up
Another interesting thing I thought about. What happens if people start working to take revenge on the people that killed them in Hell. Say somebody was murdered 20 years ago. The murderer eventually dies in the jail. The person that was murdered is eventually rescued from the hell pit. What happens...

Re: The Salvation War: Pantheocide. Part Thirty Eight Up
I would think that people that are either sentanced to life without Parole or Death have to start thinking about just commiting suicide and move onto Hell. If a prisoner commits suicide and comes out in Hell are they taken back into custody again? I would also think that crime solving could be easi...

Re: The Salvation War: Pantheocide. Part Twenty Two Up
That was just the network hype. However, the pheremones that Succubae emit make people around them want to please them. So, if pleasing them means telling them the truth (or offering them your left arm for a meal) you'll do it. Their pheremones aren't irresistible, people who are on their guard can...

Re: The Salvation War: Pantheocide. Part Eleven Up
I like that there was finally a reference to capital punishment. I mean what do you do. Do they get put to death and are sentenced to additional time in hell? How about people that are sentenced to 400 years of jail time. Do they serve all of there time either on Earth or in Hell. Also it brings up ...
