Never tell me the odds
That's what I did in MP1. I had the 1 Nuke to be fired if a Nation begun a surprise attack against me.
India sneaked attacked me, and the Nuke was auto fired at them.

What I did was an "if Xinjiang invades DR, invade Xinjiang."

I knew that you would attack me. When jeho joined and said that he was going to advise a player, I knew that it would be someone playing GaP. And the first player who came to my mind was you.

I wasn't playing GaP. I played RP4, aka SotS.

Getting back to the game.
Swahili proposes sending more peacekeepers to Australia to block Katter assaults on Oz.
Kleptocratica proposes cession of UN territories to Empire of China
The World Bank is still offering loans.
Not at all. Defender can only lose 10 territories TOPS against a 10-army invader.
Considering how espionage tends to be neglected by half the playerbase, if they bother to even read the rules governing it... yeah, I'm convinced this is a bad idea. Espionage will quickly be declared overpowered when a few players make effective use of it to launch sneak attacks.
Really, there's enough early warnings and provisions that the sneak attack isn't as big an issue as it's being made out to be.

I meant the next turn after an invasion. The defender will go another turn practically undefended while the opposition rape their territories.
And if that the case with sneak attacks, remove the SDI-killer mission. It does just about the same exact thing as the one I proposed except with WMDs.

Considering the world already has a seven or eight-player alliance with London as its pivot, I don't think it's insane for folks to have an ally or two by this point to assist them in their time of need. There's also generally widespread condemnation after a sneak attack, and if I were in charge of the NPCs likeminded NPCs would send assistance unilaterally. Finally, some armies do retreat.
In a world as crazy as this one, it's not unreasonable to assume there's some way to get around an early warning system. Heck, we even have -Yuri- in play here. I'll also add to the "Year 3010" point mentioned above - this assumes technological development has been unhindered. I implied in the Prologue there's probably been a dozen Cataclysms, if not more.
Now please. Let's get back to the game. This is MP2, not the MP2 development thread. :\

Maybe I'll implement some disable defense system feature. Maybe.
In other news, a poll.
We have 28 players.
Several more have already gone MIA or have flatout quit based on frustrations. Some don't even seem that interested and just post orders after a last-minute reminder.
However, some have seemed to be on the verge of quitting, or based on comments I've seen in the chats, don't seem to be having a lot of fun with it. While it's a common joke that I'm the most sadistic GM of the pack, I still like my players to be interested and have fun.
So, I'm putting it to a vote: do I euthanise this?
I will do whatever the players wish of me on this subject, but I need to bring this up. I'm fearing this isn't living up to the original in epicness, but certainly is outpacing it in the feelings that are hurt.

I'm actually enjoying this. Don't kill it now...
EDIT: And I'm fine with sneak attacks. No problems there

You cancel this . . . and I'll cancel you.
Seriously though, this is a fun IOT and I, at least, am really having fun.

Please don't. This is ridiculously fun and I'm enjoying it. Even if I were to be wiped out, I'll just take over the hot Russian chick's country, or start anew.
Don't make me make this game interesting.. cause I will, and it will be brutal.
