Information Poll

[Rik Meleet]

Scenario:

* We have nearly finished a Spaceship and we aren't going to loose the Space Race to some foreigners.

* We can build ICBM's or Already have ICBM's

* We are in no threat of loosing Diplomatically, by Culture, by Domination, by Conquest of by nearing 2050 AD.

Given all 3 conditions are met, wouldn't it be nice to Fire ICBM's around the world, at least hitting every Foreign Capitol, creating a hell on earth 1 turn before we leave ? And that would make for some great screenshots as well.

A - Yes; but only the Capitols. The normal citizens never did us any harm. Destroy their government; that would be justice.
B - Yes; hit as many cities as possible, a fitting end to the infidels. And the best reason to take off of of this planet.
C - No; we have won, we leave the Earth to the losers. There is no need to humiliate and anger our planet-sharers.
D - Abstain

We are voting on this now? Someone must be getting an itchy button finger.

I had to vote C, as I usually try to take the honorable path in my games.

I also play honorably. It is not dishonorable to fire ICBM's; if you declare war to the receiving div first.

 

[Bootstoots]

That's somewhat strange to be polling this now...anyway, I voted option B...I've always wanted to end our game with a nuclear war

 

[ravensfire]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Nuke 'em 'til they glow so we can see where we took off from!

What was that quote - something like: (paraphrased)

"My Fellow Fanaticans. I have just signed legislation to end the threat of Persia forever. We begin nuking in 5 minutes."

-- Ravensfire

Yay! Fun! ICBMs are your friends!
If we do this, we need to have Satilites be one of our first techs researched. Perhaps prior to Synth Fib?
This way, we can pump out these things.
Mabey we can make one per city? So on the final turn before we launch, we just flick'em all off and hit every major city.
Ooo! And it would make a great RPG story (this has been a shameless plug for the RPG)
Im votin B and I hope someone comes up with a count of the cities.

 

[deshelbr]

This is a very entertaining poll, I only like to use nukes to get rid of an opposing army. I don't really use them on cities at all. In multiplayer games people have a tendancy to sometimes stack navies in international waters. You can sink many ships with a nuke.

 

[Bacon King]

Lets Nuke 'em all!

Vote option B!

 

[RegentMan]

'nuff said.

 

[Great Iguanaman]

I went with C, we need to do the right thing and not kill the inocent civilians.

 

[Bootstoots]

Why not kill innocent civilians?

 

[Bacon King]

Heres my logic:

If you're not Fanatican, you're bad. Bad is evil. Evil people deserve to die.

the innocent civilians aren't as innocent as they seem afterall....

Is anyone truly innocent?

 

[Fier Canadien]

We wish to quit the planet and its "imperfection". As we go to create perfection on Alpha Centauri, let's destroy the imperfect plague of Earth. Trinium-Plutonium bombs are the only solution.

 

[Cyc]

"I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you Fanaticans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. A virus. Fanaticans are a disease, a cancer of this planet, you are a plague, and we are the cure."

- Agent Smith

By the way, I voted for "C".

 

[GenMarshall]

I could not find the option for "Yes use them, but only as a Nuclear Deturant Weapons". So C would be close to that.

 

[Great Iguanaman]

They are innocent in the fact that the women and children didnt march up to us and try to kill anyone. Why should we kill them.

Do the right thing, vote for C.

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

Ahh.. agent Cyc...
Its the smell.. if there is such a thing... I can taste your stink...
Nice bit of quoting.
Still voted B
And @cyc- we restarted the RPG. care to join?

 

[Vander]

"I am an anarchist!/ I am the Anti- Christ!"
-Old punk song (Dead Kennedys?)

By the way, i voted B

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

@Vander: Sex Pistols. Anarchy in the UK album.

If we were to make a Dead Kennedy nuclear reference, "Attack of the Peacekeepers".

Great... now Im humming California Uber Allies...


Its the suade denim secret police....
