"Elise Day" came from a Nick Cave song, and "Dawn Lewis" is a contraction of two women I used to know. Also there is a giant squid corpse inland on the bear republic. kinda got stuck in the middle of a farm field when the water withdrew.

How about the Noctodile for the lizard thing?

Zor upstaged me? Oh I am so declaring WAR on his ass. I spend 300 billion dollars on space industry, do nothing for ten months but concentrate on my space-program and what's Zor do? Declare out of now-where he's got a fully function space program, I assume he yanked directly out of his ass, and that further he launched a man into space?

No sir, No way I'll let this stand. You have insulted my honor, further you have broken my dreams. As we speak now I am taking the first steps needed to restore my honor.

You have been warned.

Mr Bean
Zor didn't launch a man into space.

We already retconned that.

Further space stuff, see PM

He still violated JSEZ

Post by **K. A. Pital** » 2008-04-12 11:31am

Yeah, he actually did.

Just inform him that LEO launches have to be deorbited before they violate the Zone.

Because his returnable object indicates it has orbited Earth three times, a blatant violation.

Should not stand, the JSEZ is still in effect until next year when the N.S.C. offshore the UKB starts properly working (especially as you and I are basically people in charge of N.S.C. construction)

Beowulf was more stubborn but at least he deorbited his stuff before it violated JSEZ.

Post by **Mr Bean** » 2008-04-12 11:43am

He not only violated the JSEZ but the only way to get that thing into orbit was over Saddamistan's territory, so he not only violated the JSEZ but violated Saddaminstain territory when he launched it.

I shall have to notify Saddamstain

And so, the First Space War begins.

So... are we really gonna go through with having undersea beasties in the Bear Republic? Goddamn

EDIT:

And...mang. How the hell do I post my yearly income tax GDP return stuff? Someone gimme a calculator!

I'm pretty sure you could kill giant squids; and biology does limit their possible size.

It's possible that megafauna has survived in this world without an extinction even.

So what to do with possible megafauna? Kill it? Sure, for safety.

But we need to capture some of it for zoos; think your Navy could do an operation "Central Zoo Squid" and be the first nation to spout such a great exponate?

Post by **Coyote** » 2008-04-12 02:39pm

I think hostile native life forms from the sea can be fun. I especially like the idea that they were agitated by a natural disaster-- some undersea stability issues in a tightly-packed mass archipelago are to be expected.

Just so long as we don't get too Doctor Moreau with it, and turn it into some sort of weird monster movie type thing...

Post by **Coyote** » 2008-04-12 02:41pm

Also, the only nation that will see a huge increase in GDP right now will be Gottland, which now has money from one single simple export (fish biscuits) and Foreign Direct Investment pouring in from Canissia and Shroomania. So they'll have the typical problems that come with it-- a rapid stratification of class as whole new "haves" start living next to their "have-not" neighbors, and the inflation of the money.

I just kinda did

Of course, we can kill those things because we're not completely incompetent like most monster-movie militaries.

And,of course, these monsters are not bulletproof by fiat. Still, I think that agressive, large creatures could pose a threat to smaller shipping.

Unless their guvmint turns to communism! Stas! Staaaas!!!

Hay, I just realized that all of the FCS' may be using Shroomanian made engines! YES! MONEY!

Or just cool down the economy with proper measures.

Of course, seeing what their mentality is, I'm foreseeing a humanitarian catastrophe within a year

Yep. And your companies and universities will be getting R&D contracts for the propulsion system of that Nuclear Passenger Ship. Shinra and you are the only nuke-capable countries around, after all

Post by **K. A. Pital** » 2008-04-12 03:09pm

Bhahaha. Me and Coyote just totally owned the squid!

Kudos Coyote! Given what you made it, my Su-27 autocannons may not have been enough!

EDIT: what, me make Gottland socialist?!

Well... that would require me taking Decue into the Red Techocracy and thoroughly educating him about our advantages!

and of course giving subsidies to boot and many engineers, that's how small and poor nations turn to socialism!

get help from the big brotha!

EDIT: also I published my budget both here and in the ref thread where my nation is

are you okay with 1 my destroyer's friendship visit? just asking

Shroom Man 777 · Post by **Shroom Man 777** » 2008-04-12 04:01pm

Totally okay, maaang. We can have a nice welcoming parade and all that... though most of us are probably gonna be distracted by goddamn Cloverfields! Haha!

Anyway, yeah, I'm 100% cool with your destroyer's tour. It's about time someone took a gander at what those Goddamned Libertopians are up to!

Zor · Post by **Zor** » 2008-04-12 04:05pm

If we are going to continue this with creatures from the Deep attacking stuff and such, we should at the very least post stats for them. So far we have...

1-The Giant Squids that attacked the PeZookian Transport ship.
2-Unidentified animals running amok in the Bear Republic.

In this OOC D'entete, I propose that after this, the very battle-hardened Shroomanian Mushroom Marines will help the Bear Republic establish it's own elite ass-kickers.

Navy BEARS

Beachhead Excursionary Assault Reconnaissance Specialists!

Goddamn Mushroom Marines! They've taken on Syndromian sea-pirates and their goddamn Libertopian friends, and now they're taking on motherfucking sea-monsters! Goddamn!

PeZook · Post by **PeZook** » 2008-04-12 04:19pm

Whew...damn, that whole ISCA thing made my head hurt.

Fortunately, the budget is almost through, and thanks to Shinra's huge last-minute cash input, we'll be able to put half a billion dollars into R&D on the NPS. By the end of FY2010, the first NPS should be comissioned!

Anyway, I think I gonna hit the sack now. My wife is pretty pissed with all that stupid childish STGOD stuff

So, is there going to be a MESS-OMSK/FA meet? And where?

Master_Baerne · Post by **Master_Baerne** » 2008-04-12 07:13pm

Hey Stas, what do you say to a Baernish escort on your investigation of the goddamn Libertopians? They've got shipkiller missles, a fact we learned the hard way, and extra firepower couldn't hurt.

Unless you object, I'd send along a frigate. I hates those Libertopians, I surely do.

You missed it dude. That was where the whole NSC/LEO stuff got hammered out.

Though if you want you can offer to send a ship with the goodwill tour. I already offered one of my ships to Stas if he doesn't mind (they'll meet at his port visit in the SR).

Post by **RogueIce** » 2008-04-12 07:49pm

Also, in light of the fact that our merchant shipping is no longer safe, both from pirates and now sea monsters, I'm proposing opening an international cooperation for the FF-X convoy escort/anti-piracy project. I figure it'd be something between a Halifax frigate and the US Coast Guard's Legend Maritime Security Cutters. Big enough to be a credible escort and fully blue water capable, but still relatively small enough that a Duchy can reasonably afford a few.

Ah, it seemed most of that was OOC, I was watching for something IC.
