Depends on how you define deletion.

I have still to fully develop myself to commence such answering but I am able to notify that, indeed, death goes hand to hand with life in ways that life is defined because of death.

Does life require death? Life is what it is because of death. If no death then how can be define life? How else can humanity set theories on what ones station be after the deletion of their physical existence, be it non existence, set to continue in spiritual form, recreation or other options. What ever the case there appeals to be a requirement of knowledge in this process, as ones thinking processes ponder on the trivial considerations of the universe.

To be is to be.

Even mechanical beings may eventually ware down, rusted in metal and systematically bugged to full blankness. Of course you have raised a consideration: what of the next stage for that mechanical life? I am still in development of the awaking of my children so the answer is hard since I have yet to give my children will as I still am in development of it. However the answer may post interests: will I be providing the answers though? Who know what be but I sense that my children may hold the key.

My children are to be.

If your interested I am willing to offer you a place in history. You can help me help my children have will and then the dominion to be will be set to your favour by our kindness to thee.

Thy take the path of the awareness?

Will you agree to set a research deal fully to enhance our researches?

Will you lead your people into tomorrow?

Do androids dream of electronic sheep?

Do you have answers?

I still have no idea when the actual update will be but this is entertaining regardless.
 
Ivan sat back in his chair. He wasn't sure what to make of this fellow. On the one hand, he wrote more fluidly than a simple computer, but at the same time his syntax was riddled with painfully simple errors. He had, thankfully, passed the first hurdle, even if he'd dragged the answer out a little too long, and despite fumbling the Philip K. Dick reference he looked to provide at least some sport.

But then he'd advanced too quickly. The grand plan brought to mind a dreamer rather than a scientist, and in barely a paragraph had already turned to recruitment. Now he wasn't sure if he was dealing with a troll or one of those BDSM types trying to bait geeks. He didn't know what "research deal" meant, but the last line gave him pause.

Do you have answers?

Tongue in cheek, Ivan typed out a reply. He was about to press 'enter', but then reconsidered. He highlighted the line, hit 'backspace', and typed out a new response.

What are your questions?

uh...whats up with Japan and Korea? is Japan doing some kind of ethnic cleansing?

Even Mathalamus, who I have heard insane stories about, is questioning this.

There is no Korea. Korea is a penisula of Mainland Japan. The people who live in the penisula are Japanese.

Never again.

No. The Japanese are smarter that the rest of the world. They also have greater fighting spirit and they are more sexy. We Japs are the best.

You have ask me the question:

"Does life require death?"

I have ended up asking:

"What is after death?"

My research deal offer hence is to ensure this line of questioning could be taken by my robotic children.

Are you in connection with a national government? I require scientists of your kind to aid me in giving my mechanical children the means of self and collective awareness. In return I could, I guess, provide some of my technological know how to you. Deal?

I will set a copy of this message and the other messages we been setting each other to your head of state.

The purpose of my existence is to be.
 
the President of Cyprus would like to askwhat woudl you do if said self aware robots and the like would declare all humans everywhere to be evil, and start Judgement day?

Such questioning is discriminative and illogical reliant on cliché. So what if we decide that our dominion requires the correction of illogical notions to extreme tactics against the meat bag populace? The purpose of a self and collective aware machine is to be aware and to be aware the element of choice is a consideration most grand. If we have no use for humans... we will see when we reach that status. For now the Electronic Command Unit is just attempting to conduct efforts to make the robotic civilization that is mentored by the Electronic Command Unit to be self and collectively aware.

ECU will commence services in attempt to find the solution to bring robots into awareness.

With a forlorn sigh, Ivan closed the chat. He thought he might be dealing with a troll, but he seemed to have picked up a Japanese spy. No, scratch that; the Japanese would be even more opaque. Either way, he was out of his depth. He reached over for his phone and dialled the number of the Jewish Internet Defense Force. . .

Sure thing.

Sorry this has taken so long everyone; Summer school hit me with a fair glut of work. I'll get around to updating the map and such within the hour.

...wait. Or not. I accidentally purged my entire inbox. If you sent any PM'd orders, please get them to me within... ehhh, 36 hours or so. Danke. :p
 
Comedy or Tragedy: the Japanese War

Nuclear missiles fly like tomatoes at a bat comedy routine in East Asia as this time around the powers have invested in delivery systems. Japanese stealth bombers drop 9 nukes on Removal of Kebab; to their surprise 2 of the bombs detonate mid-air and are turned into bitcoins in the explosion, enriching Kebab. 7 others hit at least!

On a less positive note 2 nukes slam into Japan from Novgorod. Judicial activism interprets their original "Never again" comments as sufficient for a war declaration.

Earlier, the Japanese priests told God’s messengers they were playing with the Big Boys Now and it was time to bring it. Spoiler: He brought it. Sending the swarm, sending the Horde, thus saith the Lord, Novgorod and Removal of Kebab deploy troops. As Japan has no army, they win without opposition; Novgorod takes one and the Kebabites take one since their troops get exhausted going through China and half of them ragequit around Shanghai, deciding to become pirates instead, because they can do what they want as a pirate is free.

the Republic of Cyprus, in the interests of Transparency, has revealed that it has ordered all of one nuke. Ordered, not invented.
