No. He didn't look at my nation at all and just made extremely vague posts. When I interpreted them in way he didn't like he bitched. So the answer is no.Stravo wrote:Stormbringer are you willing to accept that the Floaters got lucky, killed a handful of people in one of your shipyards devoted to lighter warship construction?
Stop trying to dictate my own naval yard setup. You obviously aren't showing any regard at all for how I have my navy setup.For god's sake, secondary could mean the yards not in orbit around your home world, the yards which recieve less business then the otehr- it doesn't matter, this was a small intelligence operation OBVIOUSLY not intended to take place at the Womb- which I wuld have called the Womb, had it been taking place there.
They have to be specifically modified at the genetic level. Surely a sufficiently dedicated scan would detect that.Maybe you get lucky in the purges, maybe not. Floater infiltrators look just like the people they are duplicating, down to the DNA. If they can get in, they are unlikely to be detected unless they either make contact with their handlers, or commit their mission- much like RL deep cover agents.
So in other words re-writing your post after the fact?At an annex to one, sure. That explanation makes a hell of a lot more sense then the Womb.
You don't mention that you specifically only have one shipyard in your nation information thread, and there are over 2000 posts in the main story alone- I am not gonna spend three hours reading through the STGOD main thread to iron out a small detail.No. He didn't look at my nation at all and just made extremely vague posts.
Because you interpreted it in the most unrealistic, ridiculous way possible. I accepted your whole smuggled nuke shenanigan because it looked vaguely possible, despite the fact nukes are quite easy to detect, (by your own admission, remember the Krytos?) because I figured it was within the realm of possibility.When I interpreted them in way he didn't like he bitched. So the answer is no.
Especially when YOU didn't bother putitng it in your nation info thread.I'm willing to accept the assasination but not his after the fact picking of the yard. quote]
I had no other options. You do not clearly list your shipyard facilities, so I posted with what information was available to me.
Especially when he didn't bother to get it right.
you declared that my assassin had commited his act in the most stupid, ridiculous, foolish place and manner possible.They have to be specifically modified at the genetic level. Surely a sufficiently dedicated scan would detect that.
And I never objected to the assination. Just your picking and chosing after the fact.
Yeah, if you don't want the current storyline to go forward because it is illogical then just rewrite it, make it a different black op. Its up to you.Thirdfain wrote:As in, a rewrite of my original post?Sorry, a do over.
I didn't say I have only one shipyard. Only that they are centralized and that there are no secondary yards.You don't mention that you specifically only have one shipyard in your nation information thread, and there are over 2000 posts in the main story alone- I am not gonna spend three hours reading through the STGOD main thread to iron out a small detail.
Not really. That was the only naval yard that would not have been swept clean during the cold war. Agents (modded or not) would find it hard to stay secret there. And it's reasonable espcially when you didn't mention that it was gene-modded agent until after the fact.Because you interpreted it in the most unrealistic, ridiculous way possible.
No, I just only mentioned two over and over again and no others. And of course the fact that adding the Kokand yard being such a big deal means nothing.I had no other options. You do not clearly list your shipyard facilities, so I posted with what information was available to me.
I didn't realize you needed a specfic listing of my ship building philosophy. You could have asked.Especially when YOU didn't bother putitng it in your nation info thread.
You wrote that the agent used a knife. That alone indicates incompetence.Thirdfain wrote:

This is not your prerogative.
You wrote that the agent used a knife. That alone indicates incompetence.
Yeah, and a great many people have been caught doing so. A knife is instantly acting and forces you to be in extremely close proximity to the moment of the crime. A simple life form scanner with a data recorder, a logical precaution, would alert security to the death near instantly and would allow for the assassin to be tracked back to there point of origin. Its all very simple and well within DS9 tech.Thirdfain wrote:You wrote that the agent used a knife. That alone indicates incompetence.
A plastic knife won't be detected by metal detectors, and is just as lethal as a steel one. It is also extremely easy to make a knife with on-site materials.
Many great assassinations have been carried out via knife.
On board a space station, proximity is a way of life, and little things like mechanical surviellance can be defeated, at least temporarily.Yeah, and a great many people have been caught doing so.

I addressed that, and people don't drop dead with knife wounds at random very often.Thirdfain wrote:

Trying to change the subject away from your stupidity?You didn't argue so much when Beowulf claimed his agents had succeeded in hiding bombs in every single military base on the Island of Japan
It is hard to assassinate someone if you want to get away afterwords. It is much easier to assassinate someone if you have no intention of surviving the experience. Smuggling an edged blade onto even a very high security facility is easy- and one you have that, you cna kill your quarry and prepare to die.I addressed that, and people don't drop dead with knife wounds at random very often.
Hun? That’s exactly what happened.Thirdfain wrote: It is hard to assassinate someone if you want to get away afterwords.

So why exactly are you complaining? Thirdfain, if you basically build false person out of a Floater there will be ways of finding it. There's no question about that.Thirdfain wrote:I was complaining becuase he said the assassination was carried out by what was a Floater military officer, at an ITA port.
The attacker would not be identifiable as such.
