I'm guessing Russia wants a bit of vengeance too, and someone else will probably join too as they feel Switzerland is becoming a hazard to the rest of us, or just because they want war or revenge for previous actions *looks at Grim and Rocco*.

Grim is being provided a lot of electricity by Switzerland, and I doubt Rocco has any reason to fight. Russia will probably stay neutral, as is the usual.

Vengeance... For?

Let's just say Grim's got nothing to fear when it comes to electricity, Scandinavia would be happy to provide it for a "teammate".

 

Russia should have gotten suficiently enraged by Switzerland deorbiting the COSS to join a war against it when victory is guaranteed.

 

Reason I mentioned Rocco was due to his "love for war".

Oh yeah, that thing...

 

Well Swiss seem pretty strong, I'd lose a lot, is it really worth it, I want to wait for world war to break out, so I can get really far ahead.

Who's to say Grim wouldn't just stick with Switzerland instead of going through the hassle of switching? And I get the feeling Russia didn't really care about the COSS in the first place, and along with the Swiss and co. mission to mars, I think Russia will stay neutral. Victory is not guaranteed at all.

 

Who's to say Rocco will fight for your side? Or any side, in fact?

OH WAIT

 

That mission is rather important to me (the mars one) So no I wont go to war.

 

Mars holds many many secrets, and if its successful, I think the countries involved will become rather renowned in the halls of science.

Ok, in that case Scandinavia asks for Switzerland to allow for a thorough investigation

 

I assumed you had already conducted it....Since there is nothing to find (in moderator capacity), even if you went through it with a fine tooth comb, you would find zip all.

 

if rejected it would count as a psychological proof, if accepted and evidence was found (which it would be) it would count as physical proof and if confessed it would count as a ... well ... confession.

Switzerland has no real say in the investigation...its your station, your naval base, your ships, your underwater cities...all we did is save your people when your stuff crashed into your other stuff....Our only involvement to date has been saving your people.

 

The first would be found as a serious offence

I can imagine the headlines now 'Switzerland denies Scandinavian Investigation of Scandinavian City under Scandinavian Control. Does Switzerland Secretly Control the City?'

 

and would mean war (hopefully with backup for me),

Seems unlikely. Going to war because someone refuses to do nothing but accepts to do nothing is non sequitur. Anyone who allied with you would have allied if you had said 'I plan to blow up Switzerland because they have an X in their name'(Switzerland does not have an X in it's name, it is Irony)

 

the second would be deemed as a crime and repayment with interrest would be required

As said there is nothing to find.

But anyway, Scandinavia finding evidence...after accusing Switzerland....of Swiss involvement...would be like the Nazis finding proof of the the Jewish Plan to Dominate the World:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conspiracy_theories#Jewish_world_domination

 

and the third would be considdered a half-hearted crime and repayment without interrest would be required.

Lying is not something that comes naturally...

 

Now choose your penalty Switzerland.

King Archi called to testify at the Scandinavian Inquiry

*Holds up a photo of Swiss Emergency Services waving merrily to the rescued underwater colonists, and the colonists waving back.*

"We chose compassion and rightousness over lies and deceit. We understand that not every country believes in the truth, but Switzerland does. We rescued your people and now we stand accused, I can only repeat what I, and the Swiss Public have long said about your responce, we cannot and shall not tolerate being tarred unfairly by nations we seek to help. We do not invade your nations or impose our will, we do not create malious tales of woe to trick our own people into hating our fellow human beings. Switzerland only wishes to help wherever and whenever it can....We ARE opportunists! We Don't plan to help people, we just aid them when we can...I really don't know what else I can say in our defence. If Scandinavia still wishes for us to pay for their own negligence and lack of forethought then we reject the claims. If Scandinavia wishes to tar us with the brush of their incompetance then we will not let them. If Scandinavia demands compensation for our help then we shall not give it. Our only concession will be that we do not help Scandinavia in the future. In the Future, when their shoddy Space Stations crash, killing Scandinavians, who's only crime was allowing this travesty of a government to run its country, Switzerland, should it be able, will not attempt to help....We shall sit on the sidelines, we shall want to cry out, we shall want to save the innocent, but we shall hold outselves back. That, is all this skrøne will yield if you continue to yell it from the roof tops....Our disgust and our pain."

 

 

 

Ross, I used five years on it, and it is only under 20 times the regular preassure, which stable explosives should survive.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_theory_of_solids#Equation_of_state

 

Pressuring a Solid...is, by my knowladge, impossible. You can prove this for yourself... get a piece of paper...push down on it as hard as you can...Put it under a car... It will never be more compressed.

But apparently, according to the article, you can compress a solid...with a massive store of energy... Far more than is reasonably generated by the Solar System, let alone Scandinavia.

 

 

What is the size of Russia's FOAB? I would think near Rocco's as he did steal it from me.

Didn't steal it, built a bomb similar but for all intents and purposes they are identical, although my projects have been reducing the weight of mine.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foab

Weight 7,100 kg (7.1 tonnes)

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Blast yield 44 tons TNT / 80,000 Ibs

In that case Scandinavia appologises to the Swiss people and asks wether they want something as a compensation for the trouble caused by this "incident".

 

Archi, there are no solid explosives, they are either plastic, powder or liquid, all which can be compressed.

 

 

I've got this epic idea to make Mars closer to habbitable, after heating it in some way we could make a device capable of drilling into the core and attract the iron in the iron-oxide(rust) in the soil, effectively giving Mars an iron core, like Earth, as well as filling the air with oxygen.

 

 

Also a "skrøne" is a joke aimed at someone, a "spøk" or "vits" is more correct.

plastic, powder or liquid, all which can be compressed.

So...a Solid, a Solid or a Liquid... :rolleyes:

Since Semtex and the others mentioned are Solids, not Liquids or Gases...or Plasmas...One assumes that compressing it would be near enough impossible.

If you want to launch this ill-fated mission then I will personally shoot it down, and that is something I will admit to....There is no way I am letting people experiment with the Martian Planet this side of the year 3000... Switzerland has a vested interest in making sure that the planet doesn't explode or otherwise get screwed up...in fact we all have, since anything major happening to Mars could and would be used on Earth... MAD Squared...

 

The Science is way off though. Iron Oxide cannot be easily turned back into Iron and Oxygen. Also a Magnet powerful enough to attract Iron to the core of the planet...I mean currently Iron is not majorly effected by the magnetism of the planet....would probably kill all life on the planet...tearing tissues due to the diamagnetism of water.

The reason earth has oxygen is plants, not the iron core.

And possibly secretly use it for drop pods :) (Which is a good idea)

...Well I am not terribly happy about the station, but if it isn't large enough to pose a threat to the planet/any country on the planet, then I don't mind it... If it isn't(small enough) then I will work to bring it down.

And possibly secretly use it for drop pods :) (Which is a good idea)

Except dropping a pod full of soldiers to Earth will reduce them all to the consistancy of chunky salsa. And if you used jets or something to reduce the speed at which it falls, the fuel cost would be utterly horrendous. And you can forget parachutes as well, because something going down that quickly will utterly destroy the parachute and make it useless.

 

Also, transporting them up there in the first place would be a huge, huge waste of fuel and time.

 

TL;DR Drop pods are a bad idea.

Course not...Why would I got around shooting stuff down when this inexplicable phenomenon seems to be merrily knocking satalites out of the sky left, right and center. Unless you plan to blame me for that...

Would it not have been easier to just build the pods on the moon...I could even have given you the magnetic sails to get you to the Asteroid Field

 

Anyway no one is safe from the SATALITE SMASHER! Even me...

Japan asks what the heck is going on, with this talk of world war and whatnot.

 

 

Japan also asks if air cannons can hit ground targets. If they can't, then Japan is glad that someone finally has something to combat flying space debris, and sends congradulations to Turkey.

Russia asks to get in on this space mining action

Mather found out about COSS crashing....we argued, he backed down. Then we had a vague discussion about what the hell was going on...

Magnetic sails for all. (Releases the Research as Open Source)

As ever it is your own responsibility to do some real life research into the technology so you don't mis-use it.

Er...It would take a few years to get to the Asteroid Belt...and a few years to get back...thats regardless of what method of transport you used...it is flipping miles away.

Russia changes th budget going into exosuits by half and uses the 5 billion to begin construction on one massive ship that is mainly cargo.

Ico can you send me some stats on this ship when you have five minutes...it will probably take a couple of years to complete so there is no real rush.

A few years and a heckton of money: You need to get materials up into space to build it as well.

 

I'd say 6-8 years minimum.

Rocco- Two years seems fine.
