[OOC] Untold Empires: Legacy of the Old

[WilsonTurner]

How do you think it should be, Senor Herp?

[Senor Herp]

Uh. Y-yeah. Right. B-because I was agreeing with you, sure! Nothing wrong with quasi-invincible space stations and dwarf planets with a faint-praise disadvantage of thermonuclear vulnerability that's soon going to be eliminated anyways, yeah. Yeah, yeah, sure, and having stable cold fusion's also okay, because, y'know, fits right into a space shuttle just fine with per-engine arrays of them, because it's SCARCE and TOTALLY NOT GOING INTO MASS PRODUCTION AND EARTH-POWER LEND-LEASE AT THE EARLIEST OPPORTUNITY, no, no, it's fine! I mean, I was going to have some silly thermoelectric-magnetic nuclear fission nonsense generators that run on tickling nuclear bomb's dickholes, so I'd be a hypocrite to interject, no, surely. I mean, it's always at risk of catastrophic meltdown and release of stellar-ass atomic rays if things go wrong, very much as advantaged and less disadvantaged to stable seemingly-cold fusion. That's good, and so are 'energy screens' completely unexplained even with silly mid-sci tier Kojima Particle junk science. I'm cool with, y'know, hitscan point defense that has entirely outstripped the previously-far-ahead sciences of missile design and making & delivering things to go boom, with weak defenses of 'but if you threw arbitrarily more conventional missiles they'd get through and do nothing and surely nukes could do no good unless half the warheads of most modern MIRV systems were launched of which we have had tens of thousands of which totally have ultra-bulky warheads and not roughly man-sized ones, which could not possibly miniaturize by post-WW4 2070.' I mean, the vibes of 'I'm totally going to hold the entire solar system hostage whether or not I get past the seemingly-crippling but actually likely to be quickly obsoleted disadvantage of resource shortages and if I do I'll just do it even harder' is probably just fallacious paranoia! Right? Yeah, yeah, right.

Nothing wrong with bragging about getting biodome CITIES OF THE FUTURE built everywhere as a standard, outstripping Earth's capabilities of high-industry production, and a thinly-veiled-behind-reactionism desire for hijacking sovereign power's space colonies in blatant aggression because we MUST be conspiring against you, clearly, which is also why we're daring to poke at these entirely nonextant problems with your way of going about things in play, narrative, and overall pregame design! It's not like it's absolutely, completely and utterly uncompelling to see the narrative potentially reduced to space expansionism, resource dickery and Yeyland-Wutani execs blandly going on about necessities of nonnecessary dick actions that we will be told we couldn't possibly effectively respond to while eroding any environment for exploration of a potential future in 2070 with extremely heavy slant towards reactionary blocs in contrast to our present time of democratic-capitalist-militarist and vaguely national-theocratic, national-capitalist or national-communist ones, or in the social, economic and ideological troubles of living in said 2070 blocs, or even silly Metal Gear tier characters doing CUHRAYZEE things and engaging in long-winded but somewhat hilariously contrasting explorations of the former themes, in favor of bland few-paragraph descriptions of Biggus Dickus Maximus the Low Gravity But Also Paradoxically Huge Space Marine and his adventures of no-counterattack-space shuttle technology-denialist air strikes against old launch sites for reasons, eroding things even harder than the present massive expansionist blocs' trouble of getting right into the military nitty-gritty a bit too fast in my opinion, but not plot-endangeringly so. That's great, I like that! Very much to my taste! Just, no changes, we should clearly keep going, like this, full steam ahead. Stay the course. The present OOC shitstorm before I've even managed to get my first collab out for the Great American Clusterfuck and also including a hard-sci-fi someone who hasn't even put their application in yet is not at all a sign that you are doing ANYTHING wrong, in any respect of the writing, at all.

i'm sorry

i'm so sorry

But...

I thought it was it Weyland-Yutani, not Wutani?

All the Ceres Independence shuttles, mining ships, and installations suddenly exploded because the fusion reactors were sabotaged by nonexistent spies and saboteurs. "Fuck you all," they would say, "We don't exist because we're different." The lunchlady there were talking to gaped at the eighteen members, and then everything exploded and all technology was tragically lost as all self-destructs went off. Ceres now has a big-ass hole in it with random bits of useless, burned debris.

If you're not smart enough, you'd know that you wouldn't need to ban me, because I already left.

And if it's so OP, then why are you using Fusion Reactors with the exact same need for Helium 3?
A hissy fit would be me not getting my way. I quit because I essentially asked Herp "What should I change," in which he went asshole and everyone joined up with him. And I didn't even start it.

[Senor Herp]

it's ok bby

is tuff love

i only do it becuz they dnt kno how bootiful ur colnis r

[null123]

It wasn't your fusion reactors...
It was all of your stuff that made your station imprentable.
And I did feel the need to ban you Rogue, because despite what happens, you always come crawling back to your old RPs.

[darkwolf687]

Well, this was a complete collapse of order...

[ASTA]

I didn't want to see Wilson banned, I was just trying to get a few points across. In all honesty, I'm not telling anyone to run the RP in an ultra-realistic manner, but the idea of invincible space stations or power armor or anything is just, frankly, ridiculous--if not for the simple reasons of being physically and scientifically impossible, then for shattering the intrinsic codes and expectations associated with collaborative writing.

Wilson, if you want your nation to be a vital instrument in the political scene of the roleplay, why not become a dominant power through trade or engineering rather than by attempting to forcibly move much more powerful nations into doing what you want them to do? Your faction could be akin to Switzerland in fact, in that it is neutral when it comes to foreign wars and such.

[Keyguyperson]

Look, Wilson, you're good at writing. The problem is, you immediately quit whenever anyone says anything about you being the slightest bit OP. We simply can't function with you ragequitting every time that happens. If you could simply stand the constructive criticism, then we would be happy to let you say. The problem is, you never learn. I fully understand if these rage sessions you go through are part of something else IRL (like all of my more preachy than usual posts), but we just can't function with them. We simply have no choice.

You see, you don't need to be the most powerful by any means. I once played a nation that could be crushed in seconds, but it never was. Why? Because nobody really wanted to. They didn't see any point in attacking because the gain just wasn't worth the pain. That makes perfect sense in space. There's no reason to fight someone when you need to use spacesuits and stuff to get to them, exposing yourself completely. Blowing them up doesn't make sense either, because they're not attacking you, so why attack them? Had you focused on economic power instead of turning it into an RTS, then this would have never happened.

[MrFoxNews]

My point exactly key. No one wanted to hurt a far away base.

[The Great Nahman Jayden]

Poor, poor OOC thread. On a similar note, no matter how good your propaganda is, I doubt people in countries you just invaded are going to be like, "Hey, they attacked us but I here the roads are really good!"

[MrFoxNews]

Where is the horse and the rider?

To be fair, that is how ancient Persia kept their empire together.

[The Great Nahman Jayden]

But Ancient Persia had freedoms and an arguably better life for those it conquered. Yugoslavia is an oppressive, oppressive place.

[null123]

Except in the countries that joined willingly, where they are pampered to all heck, or areas that are valuable get pampered to, leading to most of the middle east being pampered.
