I will see what I can do about making your nation bigger, Hael. Time to take the clippers to Tin.

@Mihndar

Now that's what I'm talkin' about!

Edit: Apologies for my, like, triple double-post of this RP

It's already orange, isn't it?

@Mihndar

Ya, it is, I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to Cyclone to remind him I'm not JUST a tail. I have a whole small island in my court, thankyou very much!

@Mihndar

The only problem I have with that map is that I look at least 2/3rds the size of Ventium in the other, but in this map I'm a mini-nation. I was always small, but I feel like I just shrunk by at least half. Make me a little bigger, maybe?

Both to serve as an illustration and as part of my mission to put a map on every page of this thread:



EDIT: Put the wrong map. Fixed it.

The Sun Will Never Set (A Statisticless NRP)(It had a good run)

I like the political map. I also like that I am giant, red blob. There's something oddly satisfying about it.

And yes Hael, literally all your people are smashed together into the tail of a giant tin man. That is the extent of their lives, their only purpose in this world.

@Cyclone

Hey, you can't talk to your loose allies like that! THIS MEANS WAR! WE WILL ATTACK FROM THE OILY BEHIND!

And at least I'm not taking ALL your oil away...VENTUS

EDIT: I have that one colony near the south pole.

<Snipped quote by Alfhedil>Anti-air defenses in WW2 were way too inefficient for that.
When the Germans began their V-1 attacks, they launched circa 100 missiles a day.
In comparison hundreds of fighters and even more ground defenses wasted tens of thousands of munitions and even then about 10% slipped through.
Worse, technically the percentage is even lower since only some 2000+ missiles ever got close to Britain out of the 8000+.
So the actual interception percentage is somewhere around 60-70%.
We talk about relatively dumb fired missiles, controlled by gyros and some good calculations beforehand.
They were also slower than Spitfires or other competitive fighters.
This is the most famous AA feat in the entire WW2.

So yeah, there are low but quite considerable chances that somebody can just fly past your borders. Be glad if they don't decide to just drop a few bombs if they are at it.

@Willy Vereb

Fair enough, but it's still a decent AA defense for the tech we're using. And besides, I imagine not everyone would risk those odds if it wasn't a really dire situation.

Edit: Map's pretty cool. It's interesting seeing my nation from a new perspective. I look like Tin's tail :O

Hey, you said it didn't need to be changed :P

Would you like it to be a third? A quarter? A fifth? A sixth? Just some random dude's house?

@Cyclone

Yep. I would like all 20% of my population (the human percentage) to have conquered and colonized Old Man Jenkin's retirement home, where they remain to this day.

No, it's fine.

@Hael

By the way, I added my side of our nations' history to my sheet.

@Cyclone

Cool. Still historically conquering half my nation, I see :).

<Snipped quote by Alfhedil>

I'm sorry, but your avatar and signature totally ruin the menacing Nazi-Getmany vibe that you'd otherwise have going on.

@Cyclone

I imagine Alfhedil's entire nation as barely pubescent Japanese schoolgirls, your entire nation as the Tin man from Wizard of Oz, and Willy Vereb's entire nation as Santa's Elves riding eagles.

I am not afraid

EDIT: Don't even get me started on Sid Meier's Gandhi

The Sun Will Never Set (A Statisticless NRP)(It had a good run)

I'm off to bed, have fun debating things you crazy people.

@Voltus_Ventus

Alright.

My nation is going to atom-bomb everyone. Problems?

<Snipped quote by Hael>

Suspended reality. Outcomes of battles aren't represented by your tech or rolls or numbers, you make up the outcome and that could mean airships lose and it could mean they win. It's your choice.

@Voltus_Ventus

I know, I've just never been a big fan of airships.

Like I said, I know it's by all means possible. I just don't think they're particularly practical when compared to other forms of aircraft. But when it comes to the RP I'll certainly try to put narrative first.
