Imperium Off Topicum - Wars/Battles Thread

[Omega124]

Yeahhhhh... I figured since it didn't really hurt anybody, it wasn't an issue. If you want a more realistic picture, think of a bunch of carrier-sized vessels floating at sea (between England and France) with a bunch of stuff to connect them/anchor them into place.



I'm normally not one to go off-topic, but if you are like everyone else I encounter, you probably have an ENORMOUS misunderstanding of what being furry is all about. Please read my posts from here onwards for a little bit of insight into the furry fandom.

Did you know, for instance, that there was once an intra-fandom war between those who wanted to get rid of the sexual aspects and those who wanted to keep them? Yeaaaaah. Contrary to popular belief, being furry isn't all about sex... sex just tends to be overplayed. Plus, of course furries will engage in sexual content with eachother via IM. They can't magically turn into foxes/wolves/etc. and do eachother! Online is the only method...

Anyway, /rant. Back on topic.

I will now enter the counterattack on Panama into the database. Of course, the USA will get +1 added to it's rolls, given the distance penalty Maryland suffers.

..I also wonder how long it will be before the USA rolls a match it loses.

I also wonder how long it'll take before Maryland rolls a match it loses

I also wonder if anyone will approach me to start privateering.

You know you want to. (You know who I'm talking to).

 

[Omega124]

If you pirate our enemies, we'll allow you to use the Panama Canal untaxed, and all the illegal cargo you want, as long you don't steal my or my citizens' stuff.

And if you pirate us, the Socialist Alliance will declare war as to eliminate the cargo shipping threat.

If you lost, wouldn't I be able to use it all I wanted to anyway?

And Joe, that's not how you counter pirating, if history has taught us anything. You have to barely to not guard any merchant ships you have and employ pirate hunters who are more likely to run off with your money than attack pirates.

Hey, Omega, could you roll to defend from all three of the battles you're in? They're currently all tied at 2 wins attacker, 2 wins defender, or 1-win each, 2 ties in Tibet's case.

Except that unlike historical pirates, your an actual country. Which means I can eliminate you through war.

Don't test me, I've got an entire alliance behind me and we already have you surrounded.

 

[Double A]

What about the Barbary Pirates?

 

[Tani Coyote]

Choxorn is correct, the United States must roll for all 3 battles before they can be concluded.

Okay, it's been a couple of days since these battles started, and Omega still hasn't rolled for them, even though he has posted. Should something be done about them? It's preventing Ukraine's invasion of Panama from happening, and kind of delaying the game.

I say each side is given a certain amount of time to submit their rolls. If the rolls haven't been submitted, either their rolls are forfeit or another party rolls for them.

 

[Joecoolyo]

I'd say that if they don't roll after (2-3, I can't decide) days, they automatically surrender the battle.

Though of course, to prevent abuse, if someone knows they're not going to be here for 2-3 days, they must say it, er something.

I support theses decisions despite the fact I'm no longer playing.

 

[Double A]

If I mess with the US's shipping route do I kill off their defender bonus in Panama?

This all seems sound, I might put this up to UN vote.

Though to be honest, I myself have wanted to end my involvement with this project and start a new one... Imperium Offtopicum has been a VERY great learning experience for me, don't get me wrong, but at times, it's a pain to keep track of everything and such... looking at this in retrospect, I can get a feel of what I did right and what I did wrong...

As this is mostly a game of chance and not really strategy, no.

 

[Double A]

So what CAN I do to mess with Omega that doesn't require land combat or my token airforce clashing with his uberforce?

 

[Tani Coyote]

I have noooo idea. Roleplay I suppose. I'll have to factor that into any hypothetical Imperium Offtopicum 2.0...

 

[Double A]

I... uh... search for traps.

More than happy to keep rolling - I'll try to check at least once I day though if you get other rollers or something that's also great by me. I would request PM reminders though, probably from Taniciusfox for major sets of battles, just in case I miss this thread. I think I see no new ones to be rolled right now...Anyway have fun and good luck to you all once again anyway.
