Rocco, he's not Hex, I'm sitting here watching Hex tell me how much of a suck up he thinks Resistance is.

What the hell, how am I a suck up?

 

Even so its Hex, why are you listening to him?

Earth, a shock only means you don't feel a thing and you start shivering, with enough self control you can at least ride a bike onehanded. I know, I've done it.

Also that series of actions (after getting shot) lasts only 3 seconds, which is about half the time it takes the body to realize it is in great pain.

 

Also swords are for slashing, not stabbing.

Going into shock means you freeze up most of the time. Also, it wouldn't work... AT, ALL.

I've been in shock, during which time I was not only aware but also annoyed by and trying to forget the fact that I was in shock, it started almost 15 seconds after I cut my chin and mauled my arm.

Ahuh. Call me when you aren't acting [developmentally delayed]ed anymore. Swords are meant for both stabbing and slashing, mainly stabbing seeing as that gets more damage done. Also you WOULD NOT be able to get close to him before he shot you multiple times.

Regard;ess:

 

Archi as mod, because otherwise it will all fall apart.

Check

 

Futuristic Space-y era.

 

Two main countries controlled by players, several npc countries.

Or do we want:

 

[hide][/hide]

 

 

I like the idea of small scale more...

Turns should be two days (Archi's turns are too complicated and would be abandoned almost immediately because of scheduling). Day 1 - Planning and discussion. Day 2 - Execution of plans and reports by moderator.

Its mainly so I have time to deal with other commitments, Aka Space. So I would prefer a 3 day system...not vital though.

 

President should decide budgets for each other role. President should also fill in for another role if that person is absent.

 

Good idea.

 

 

 

Team selection...People put their hands up, with a note if they want to be President, I pick two Presidents, they pick their sides.

Presidents can switch up their teams once they are playing.

 

 

The game is a committee game, not pure hegemony, and is set on a week to week basis...

 

 

Thus:

There will be three population counters for a country; Recruitables, General Population, Dissenters.

These will go up and down based on people's actions.

 

Vast discussions about Economics and such will be replaced with the mod saying 'If you do X there is a Y% chance of this and a Z% chance of this.' And will be done per turn.

 

Taxes will be collected monthly(every 4 turns).

 

Battles may or may not be over in one turn, with sieges and what not maybe tying up months of time.

 

Planes and armies take 1 turn to build, ships take two months(8 turns) to build.

 

Research will develop rapidly, but will cost money to upgrade/build.

 

Superweapons are allowed, but there is no super-anthrax to destroy them all.

Earth, swords are mainly for cutting, rapiers and daggers are for stabbing.

 

Also the criminal would fire once to show that he isn't afraid to do so, however unless desperate or insane he actually is, me continuing to move against him will instead casuse him to go into a shock-like mental state, where he will start dubting his actions, causing him to move slower.

MAther, not true. In all actuality, a person who broke into someones house will usually subdue them before they can call for help and/or go kamikazee failure on them. Which can also entail shooting them.

No, he would likely panic and shoot you several more times as self defence instinct kicks in, and at that point even if you did get the gun and incapacitate a criminal, you have two to three bullet wounds in your chest. If you aren't dead, you're going to have some serious problems.

Earth, most criminals actually considder the fact that the penalty for murder is worse than that for burglary.

Most criminals consider the fact that a man bull rushing them and trying to disarm them is more of threat.. And can be used as an excuse of 'self-defense'.

Hmmmm.

 

Me=Criminal

Mather=Mather

 

Me: Give me your money

Mather draws is sword

Me, shoots mather in the ankle: Give me your money

Archimage,

 

Although its not really the expected answer I greatly prefer the top map, the below map is a bit cluttered. I would use the bottom map for a game where I was an army instead of the commander of an army.

me, chops of Archi's wrist: Give me an apology.

*Mather fails to chop off wrist, shot multiple times.*

Errr... No. You've just been shot in the ankle, and why in the world anybody would let a sword toting person near them in that situation is beyond me. You're on the floor, about 5 meters away, and bleeding heavily.

Ross, if I was five meters away, how was Archi suspecting me to hand him the money? If he expected me to toss it then I would simply throw my wallet in his face, knocking him out (finally a use for small coins :razz: ).

 

 

Earth, I'm not rushing up to the criminal, I'm walking slowly, something which could be evidenced by the blood splatter. So even if I die I will have [bleep]ed up the criminal's life, which is all I need.

I fear not death, nor corporeal thing, my sole fear is a life in solitude.

I am remined of John Cleese's commentary on Monty Python and the Holy Grail, where he is reminded of a story about two Roman Wrestlers who were locked in combat for hours.

Eventually one of them, his legs and arms broken, finally gave up, and the attendants had to come over to untangle them, and when they tapped the winner on the shoulder to tell him he had won, it turned out he was dead.

Which the person in Cleese's recollection had said was proof that if you could win if you never gave up.

 

 

Personally, I take it to mean if you never give up, you die.

... That wouldn't work.

Earth, I've also got a chain attached to it.

Relatively large starting groups was the plan.

 

Recruitment is only really there to replace, rather than build newer, even more massive armies.

Rocco is right, it would be impossible to cause any damage with coins, mythbusters proved it. However it would surely stun an attacker.

Also, wallet=/=sword.

Rocco, I can when I've got almost half a kilo of it.

 

After all I said throw my wallet, not my money.
