Sons of Mars III - Trollish Echidnas Not Included

[Indocera]

I'll be glad to have a PC ally again.

Oh, by the way, I'm China (or Ahasira for those who can be bothered learning the name ). Welcome to IOT!

Thanks for the welcome. Guess we'll be friends rather quickly. ( :

You'd take over Japan's resources, militaries, etc. but could rename and restructure it if you so desired.

==Philanthropy - Week 3==

This is the Nationals for Organised Disarmament(NOD). We were formerly known as Philanthropy, but under new leadership, we have developed a new strategy to cease proliferation. Be warned; the consequences will be dire for those who do not disarm.

==NOD - Week 19==

Urgent message from Chairman Kane! The entire world is in danger!

Recently, a band of ruffians have been acquiring WMDs from an unknown source and giving them to smaller nations. They call themselves the Global Deterrence Initiative - GDI. GDI's stated goal is to saturate the world with these weapons, to pave the way for global peace, as no rational nation would risk a war in a world where every nation is armed to the teeth.

GDI's ideology is destructive, and can only lead to the demise of mankind. But one leader must slip through the cracks, and GDI's insane fantasy will result in an apocalyptic reality!

OOC: Somehow, those acronyms seem familiar

 

[Double A]

When is anyone going to comment on the fact that every major power owes me and Sone 5% of their economy (ea.) or safe harbor, or else we'll start to blow the everloving hell out of you? And that if you do pay, we'll protect you from nations that use non-chemical WMDs, and that if you harbor us, we'll also protect you from conventional invasions?

 

[Tani Coyote]

===Every NPC Major Power===

We will bury you.

Well, Chaos, Inc. anyway. An NGO superpower with a vested interest in anarchy is of no benefit to us.

 

[Double A]

Not before us. 10% isn't that much to you.

edit: I'm content right now? Just give me money dammit.

ooc: You could at least be consistent with their irrational behavior, roll some friggin' dice!

 

[Robert Can't]

Although no official donations are made by the NLR to the anarchist groups those high up in the government are aware of a secret Swiss Bank Account belonging to the Prime Minister. Although it is presumed that there is nothing odd about this there does seem to be a quarter of the entire economy lost due to "Plumbing Expenses" every year.

Some opposed to the ruling party suggest that the Prime Minister is taking a potion of the country's wealth for her own lavish lifestyle, other say in hushed voices of the possible connection with Discord.

 

[Tani Coyote]

A theoretically Gickta(GCTA, Global Counter Terrorism Alliance) could easily curbstomp the terrorists in a matter of turns. Never mind, there are six terrorist organisations. All that's needed is ONE of them to be bought off...

The freedom fighters have made their bed. Now they shall lie in it!

I don't need to roll dice - they have no reason to be intimidated. Terrorists are paper tigers. Originally, it was possible for terrorists to curry favor with major powers. Now, all the NPC powers are alienated since the VRF and Chaos, Inc. think they, in all their major nation-state invincible hyperpower glory, can make demands of them.

 

[Double A]

Did they miss the part where we'll be protecting them from the two most deadly weapons on the planet?

 

[Double A]

Hey guys, remember what just happened? Global nuclear war. You know what OV and Chaos can prevent? Global nuclear war.

Contrary to what I've said before, everyone being dead isn't actually very fun.

 

[Optical]

Safe harbor would be acceptable, I guess. I don't really want another global nuclear war.

You're the guy in charge. I can haz nation?

 

[Double A]

Tany, $10 is chump change. If anything, you should have changed 20% to 40%. 10% makes the ability literally worthless.

Tany, $10 is chump change. If anything, you should have changed 20% to 40%. 10% makes the ability literally worthless.

To guarantee a success, the player would have to put 10 Agents on the mission. Or about $50.

 

[Tani Coyote]

10% success rate, 10% kill rate.

Sending 10 agents, one will succeed, one will die.

The agent that succeeds, however, gets 10 gold, which can buy TWO agents, or buy a base that will supply one new agent each turn.

Math is still on the terrorist's side. This is only a problem for those who don't secure backers.

AA. You are currently pulling in more than most nations. You don't NEED any more money. But, nice try.

You're the guy in charge. I can haz nation?

Sure thing!

 

[Sonereal]

But if you secure backers, what's the point in wasting agents to steal in the first place?

 

[Tani Coyote]

Exaaaaactlyyyyy. An agency with a stable income source doesn't need to beg and steal for it.

Compare having to forage (highly inefficient and prone to risk and waste) vs. farming.

 

[Double A]

What if I want to financially ruin someone without resorting to WMDs? That's what I see stealing as. I don't give a crap about the money.

 

[Tani Coyote]

Oh, well umm... that's not what the ability was made for.

It would also break the game as terrorists would be able to destroy nations on whim, and we're already a bit too close to that with WMD detonation.

 

[Double A]

Bah, fine, I'll just amass a bunch of bioweapons.
