On The Brink of Instability (and we're off!)

I think I forgot something to add on to this RP...

Can't quite remember...

You are sitting in the back of a cop car with the avatar above... (Game)

Illeagle recrhootment.

My school received a shooting threat today.

If this gets 24/7 media coverage and widespread sensationalism I'm going to have to shoot myself.

_{note: "myself" is not the name of a school}

NOTE: Nation sheets will not be accepted if they are declared WIP in whatever way.

That being said, please organize your sheets to make them easier to read.

Weapons of mass destruction are very much useful for wiping your favorite country off the map, severely incapacitate them, or intimidate them into surrender.

Bruh

Dust ain't radioactive

Sure health hazard but it's not going to make the place uninhabitable for a millenium

Pure fusion nukes still deliver cancer-inducing radiation

Kinetic bombardment is also propelled by electromagnetic mechanisms, which means it's going to be still powerful to deliver a devastating shockwave with all the kinetic energy it's carrying and is difficult to hit with their immense speed. In addition, that's why I said "more calculations" concering precision. I'm also talking not too far that the Earth is just the size of a penny compared to your hand 1 foot away, just far enough that most missiles will have a hard time intercepting them and you'll need spaceships to take the satellite down.

And since this is science fiction anyway, some things would be more or less in greater measure than in what's true to the real world.

As said:
4. Be realistic. Not too much, but keep it close.

We're trying to keep many things real to keep things balanced and in depth, but we're not going to let overrealism ruin the fun stuff here.

Already declared running but none still has a nation up yet. Oops.

Well, kinetic bombardment would be obviously a weapon of mass destruction and as such will be banned in war. So unless you're a real scum you aren't meant to use that.

Y'all real scums so we can use them

No international law governs the world now because the UN is dead. Only thing keeping people from weaponizing asteroids is that they'll fuck themselves over too. Rods are less apocalyptic so that's more usable.

If you mean Rods of God kind of mechanism, such satellite systems are actually ridiculously easy to intercept. Both the projectile and just destroying the satellite before it reaches them.

Defense systems mofo

Also you could place a god rod launcher farther out in space and missiles will have a hard time taking them out. Even though it requires a few more calculations and some waiting to put the projectile in the right track, it's worth the move.

It's a dick measuring contest that can only be taken to the battlefield!

More dakka, but less zerg rush.


Fuck the Space Preservation Treaty.
