Carbon nanotubes seems like the would be cheaper and have far more military/economic usability than graphene.
Graphene replaced Carbon Nanotubes in 2009 as the break though in nanobotics. The current theory is create a Graphene tube, which is actually just as stable and does the job 160 times more efficiently in terms of energy conservation. Not to mention the fact that Graphene bots would be able to move significantly faster consuming way less energy. We have this tech (nanobots) more or less down pact, the only problems are the cost, being able to build a robot that small and programming it.

You then have to look at the large scale, with graphene being the stereotypical shield in sci-fi movies. A light weight highly charged object that can repel almost anything given the right charge. and also given the right charge it can expand and contact, making for a highly useful near indestuctible hull, or in this case armor for my Siege Tanks.
 
im still making tanks out of carbon nanotubes. the technology you described could very easily be lost.

Don't see the point in that. Graphene is superior in every way.

Dude we're using 2010 technology don't powergame.
We were to use 2010 technology as if 2010 was 2101. 6 years have passed, and technological breakthroughs are possible. Tailes said it was allowed.

we debating about whether or not I am power gaming. If that is off topic this is my last post.

Dude, you're talking about the strength of graphene, that has nothing to do with anything, srsly.
 
You can discover Graphene but seriously we wont be using it for tanks or any weapons in 6 years SERIOUSLY.

Graphene was discovered in 2004. It's been mass produced since February. Rather then using it for miscellaneous purposes, I am putting it into warfare. Is it unrealistic, slightly, but Maths tanks, are far more unrealistic.

it does, as thats the substance my tanks are made out of.
 
what, carbon nanotubes? excuse me sir, but i dont knwo what type of metal United states tanks use.

That requires one post and nothing more, at this point you're clogging up the thread and giving tailless a bigger headache. ;)
 
Well, I've... skimmed through most of what was said. I've decided against the rule change regarding DoWs, but I ask you to please try to avoid the multiple war-peace declarations in the same turn.

By the way, I don't consider six years to be enough time to allow for enough development of technology to allow for mass production of Graphene and widespread military application, so I think ilduce's tanks are unrealistic, if not outright powergaming. And Joe is right; let's not drag out this discussion so deep into OT territory.
 
Update 6

AD 2107

A hidden camera captured this photo of Japanese marines storming a beach
in Madagascar. The war in North America is becoming a global conflict, but actual
fighting is few and far between as confusion reigns and no one is quite sure who is
supposed to be at war with who.

GM Comment:

Well, that was the update. Or, at least, as much as I can worked out from the mess of contradictory orders, confusing XP/LP trades and the horrific chaos of war and peace declarations.

For this update: if I didn't get any attack orders from them, or they were not being attacked themselves, or if a state of war wasn't made explicit in the orders I got in the PMs or Claims Thread, they're not at war.

Some other stuff:
- Traded XP/LP can now only be used in the turn after the turn it was traded. That table up there is now officially the amount you have to spend for a particular turn.
- LP is used to attack, not XPs.
- From now on, if I didn't know about the XP/LP being traded, then there was no trade. The responsibility is on the provider/giver (not the recipient) to tell me how many XP or LP will be given and to whom. Either post about it in the Claims thread or PM me if you really don't want other people to know.

The game is temporarily halted while I deal with the inevitable complaints and errors from this update and work out what is supposed to be happening.
 
you missed an attack order by Madagascar on Mongolia. five coastal provinces.
 
I declare war on Ormus and why do I have 0 LP's I gave a loan two turns back and last turn, I should have some this turn, and Im declaring war on Ormus because I will not allow a state in my state that is a nation in the middle of my SOI claiming Arabian land, I cannot forgive that, move your nation somewhere else or be obliterated by the will of Allah

you tolerated my existence, despite it breaching your SoI. why cant you tolerate his?

Well you claimed down in Madagascar and I could because its far away and Its to much to handle... But when someone claims within your own state, In the middle of Iran and UAE its like a thorn in the eye so
