Rocco...Damn your logic...though we have Switzerland, Russia and Britian so on the whole we have +2...Compared to Americas +1 for Canada

I don't think either of us won... We are both right, I just use a much easier to understand where as he uses a faster method(if you know how to do it)

Egypt had maths 2400 years ago... The Celts have maths some 15,000 years ago... Go figure.

Me and Retech dueling over mathematics...

We had it first...

Then you do this: 2/3=.67 x=1 (2)/(1+1)=1 Too large x=.5 (1)/(0.25+1)=0.8 Getting closer x=.25 0.5/1.06=0.47 Too small x=.36 0.72/1.13=0.64 Too small x=.385 0.77/1.15=0.67 _ x=1.5 3/3.25=0.92 Too Large x=2 4/5=0.8 Too Large x=2.5 5/7.25=0.69 Too Large x=2.6 5.2/7.76=0.67 ___ Simple as that... Even easier using excel. Mathematics for the layman...

Or you could just go with 2.6 Using Bodmas, Brute Force and Binary Chops... IE: Bodmas... Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction. Brute Force=Trial and Error Binary Chops= Is answer too big and gett bigger or too small and get smaller when the number is bigger? If yes then discard all numbers higher than said number.

Rocco what was the equation?

Well, Retech, since you don't have any legitimate claim to control the nation you will have to have Sere confirm everything.

Retech there is rather a large difference between spending 5 years annexing a country and just randomly annexing a country in a month....#

I think retech is right on this one. Just put it into excel. Oh, and I worked it out by plugging the equation =(2*a1)/(a1^2)+1 into excel. If you just use the straight: =2*a1/a1^2+1 though -6 works...

I don't think we banned it...Ico banned annexures in Asia, and then cancelled that....Probably what you are thinking of.

(2*2.6)/(2.6^2)+1=0.67=2/3

I am working on it Rocco :thumbup: Mather the UN would have something to say about that...

The ISS crashed to Earth last year...Well somewhere between 2016 and 2020 anyway... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISS#End_of_mission_and_deorbit_plans

Dusty+Rocco, I know you don't believe in understanding a concept before you use it, but...what can I say...I am an educator.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradigm_shift In any case life goes on for Abbysinia and Oman.

The Abbysinan and Oman Ambassadors are seen shaking hands and talking warmly. More questions are raised about the SSR's mental state. The S-Net is ablaze with rumours about the war in Oman, such as when will it start, who will Abbysinia and Oman be fighting and which side the SSR will be on...

Or I could just magic some tech up... Or maybe Diplomacy was code for Diplomacy...ie talking, not fighting... :rolleyes: Anyway, using my new Diplomacy Missle, Abbysinia 'attack' Oman, hoping to annex it within 5 years.

Research on anti-laser, anti-radar, anti-missile missiles has begun. I name it, Diplomacy!

Stratos Jets should cost around 10 million each. Swiss Statros Jets costs arounf 15 million each and are somewhat improved.

Fair point. I got rid of all P-Jets.

Basically...But then you got rid of the P-Jet, the only thing that could remove the superweapon cheaply and effectively...Nobody trusts anyone else in this game... Switzerland begins launching Magnipods from the surface of the moon. Each pod contains a Magnetic Sail, and will be launched around 5 minutes apart for the next two years. Thus mapping the Solar Wind, in a very crude form. After this another magnipod will be launched every 6 hours, as a checksum. Other than this the SLC, or Swiss Luna Collider has confirmed the existance of the God Particle, which has been renamed the Swiss Particle, after its discovery...Swiss Von Swissing of the Swiss InstiSwiss of Swiss. The Swiss Particle has been sent to the United Nations, with a note 'Got to heaven before you!' In other news Abbysinia has been really trying to educate children about Europeans. To this end they have burried time capsules containing large samples of dynamite, gunpowder and nitroglycerin, set to go off at random periods over the next fifty years. Thus educating Abbysinan Children of the European aims. Also to report is the presence of new gliders in the Abbysinian military, the gliders are designed to land on water, and to be towed by Stratos Jets. It is thought they are unmanned. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_sail http://www.quotesea.com/Quote.aspx?q=IhavepreparedoneofmyowntimecapsulesI

Grim- You appear to be in an alcove, with a set of stone stairs decending down. I am calling it a night.

Umbra- You fail again. The Soliders are just a couple of meters from you now. You are struck with another thorn and you feel strange thoughts in your head from somewhere else.

Grim- Your attempt at regrowing your hand leads to you having a stump form.
