I'd prefer Libertopia for a nuclear test range. Further out of the way. Barring that, build a barge, stick it several hundred miles off shore, and use that.

As for using Zablania as nuclear waste storage, maybe a more international agreement should be set up. Sure, the Fungal Axis can administer it.

I've been stupid-busy and all this economic stuff is doing my head in. Fungal and LUN nations, feel free to abuse runways and port facilities, just don't get me bombed. :p

I'll see if things don't quiet down by the weekend.

If the GDP math gets in the way of fun, I say bag it and just go with the story and keep things small as far as spending projects. That's what I do; I hate math.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!

I think its a good idea to lay pout just How Silly, and how Serious this world should be, even giant robots is stretching things.

We should most likely lay out ground rules on what we can and can' do. Tech wise we have to keep things somewhat relastic to Earth, so im guessing No fusion plants for a while.

I have a set of exploratory rules

SD.Net World RAR Worlds

Rule number one
Q Created this world he however does not interfeer in any major way but once a year

Rule number two
If it's not possible in old Earth, it's not possible in New Earth

Rule number three
This world was created from nothing, it's people were created from nothing, their memories and lives are crafted by Q but did not in fact happen. This world has only one year of history so far.

Rule Four
Natural resources were also created by Q to go on this world, in roughly comparable amounts to what we have on earth, if in totally different locations.

Rule Five
This world has no unclaimed land, new land is Q'd into existence once someone joins the STGOD, if they leave the game their land remains.

By the by,m seeing as how iv been out of things for, oh... the past 20pages of game, I have a question.

In terms of interaction with "us", Do we refer to ourselves ingame as Our Name/Avatar? or are we our "Real" name?

The whole mes with wesfox started because he showed up "AS" 'wesfox' an evidently 7ft overly muscled Anthro fox. Are we refering to folks as "Mr.Bean" or "StasBush" and "Crossroads Inc" Or should I go as "Eric Fischer" ?

EDIT: totally agree with the above rules.

Yes like I said, this is an STGOD not a fur-fantasy thread, there exists an entire culture for that sort of thing. Wesfox has agree to scale back.

As far as things go, we are In this world in person, we are know by our avatar's here because no one wants to go running around posting their real name just for an STGOD. As always

And Rule Number Six: You are not to fuck with the abbos... when anyone is watching.


As for the natural resources, there actual was "plentiful" resources and sufficient food for export, etc.

Rule number Six Goddamn Liberatopians?
Yes we all live on resource rich(mostly) islands in a very nice climate, paradise like. What I meant was national resources was no fifty foot diamonds or "Uranium pillars in the Zorian desert" or similar.

Alright, so thus far, the people definitely confirmed for the SSC

1.Pezookia
2. Red Technocracy
3. Crossroadia.
4. ITR

ITR indicated they want to join and have one of their companies sign up for the communications contracts which I believe can be accommodated. Anyone else?

I agree with the rules and I'll make sure something like what I did on the new years party doesn't happen again.

Yeah, I've been saying it from the beginning: Me and Stas have economic education, so numbers are like porn to us ;)

If you don't like them, just bag it and eyeball what you can and cannot buy.

I have plans for Liberatopia, specifically a lesson in what happens when a bunch of true blue Libertarian's take their viewpoints to the extreme.
More on that this evening.

On another note. GPS satellites done, Weather satellites done, Photo-satellites done. Radar imaging satellites TBA, Shroomian communication satellites in process.

Any other satellite types we need in orbit?
