The Volcano Errupts!!!!

I got some Vikings in the chat to translate it. :) And if anything else, it's flaming.
 
I have no problem with Sir John....

Also... I do agree with Sir Johns land split.... So I guess that is are new terrority.
 
The Evacuation - Part 1

Soon, a Rumble has been hured. The Volcano is ready to ozee its molten lava onto the island again

Grandmaster: What the, We better leave this Island now

Stuck - I agree, lets leave this Island

Sir John - Haha, I am the Victor, the Island is all mine, All mine I tell you

Sir John watches as all of the Fractions of each fighting parties beguins to leave. Sir John neglected to look behind him.

Sir John: Hehe, Foolish them people are. Now to have my reing of power set... ...Uh oh

Sir john Turns around and notices Molten Lava running on the side. Sir John decided to run twards Grandmaster
 
Sir SaaMs the Reedy, Sensible, Mellow along with nearly 2000 dadaists and the newly Mechinzed Cupertanian Guard all board a transport.
Reedy: and Zualli Zzzemen..
Zualli: Here
Reedy: Well, thats every last person. All Cupertanians accounted for. Well, good thing we left when we did. That island really got hit bad by that lightning bolt.
Sensible: Yep. Now look at that sissy John run.
Reedy: Woo hoo! He's fleeing!
And so, the Cupertanians returned to Penguin to do what they did best: PAARRRRRR-TAAAAAY!
 
As the storm clouds gather, Noldodan softly utters a prayer ot Manwë and shouts, "Everyone! This island is about to be destroyed by these storm clouds. Send out the messengers to the outposts with a message to rendezvous on the mainland ASAP. The rest of us will crowd onto the Montpelier and make for the mainland. Now, everyone, GO!"

His orders are instantly followed, and a large number of Eagles depart for the outposts in the mountains. As their message is received, the Eagles, overloaded with at least 5 Elves each struggle to reach the mainland, so tantalizingly close.

Some of them catch up to the
Montpelier and land, and some make it to the mainland. But a few are lost in the storm, driven down. When Noldodan hears of this, he prays to Námo and Ilúvatar for their immortal souls. And so ended the story of Tiburón Island...
 
Soon the factions of the war parties began to head to the Fanatika main land. imediately Reedy heads to Bavaria labs to report what has just happened

Reedy: Dr. Conrad! Dr. Conrad Reedy bangs on the door lowdly

Dr. Conrad: What is it?

Reedy: The Island it is experiancing another Eruption again

Dr. Conrad: Do you have any witnesses to this event. If so, please send them to my office

Reedy: There are 1000 Witnesses to the event

Dr. Donrad: Ok, Ill open up the aurotorium. I knew this would happen one day

Dr. Conrad gathers his research papers on the Volcanic activity in the new island

Dr. Conrad: Gather everyone that weere in the event. I need to explain to them about my Theory on how the island has gotten there in the first place

Reedy: I will gather everyone

Dr. Conrad: Dont forget to get CivGeneral and Mara Jade.

Reedy: Where are they?

Dr. Ed comes out of his office

Dr. Ed: They are about to tie the knot in the Vanir Cathedral

Reedy: We need to tell everyone about this.

Dr. Conrad: Agree, Dr. Ed Go to McNulty's Cathedral and tell CivGeneral and Mara about this

Dr. Ed: Ok, though I would have to wait untill it is done

Dr. Ed hops into his Pick-up truck and drives to Vanir Cathedral. Dr. Conrad gets his presentations ready and Reedy gathers all the witnesses of the event. Dr. Ed arives to the Vanir Cathedral juse before mara Jade and CivGeneral hops into the Limo

Dr. Ed: CivGeneral, Mara Jade. Thank goodness I found you two. BTW how was the cerimony

Mara Jade: It was wonderfull

Dr. Ed: Thats nice, Sorry I could not cume, research and all that. Anyway. Dr. Conrad wahts you two to come to his lab right away.

Mara Jade & CivGeneral: Ok

CivGeneral: Just let me give the directions to the driver, we are having the reseption in the Pub

Dr. Ed: Quickly now, there is not much time. Dr. Conrad is about to explain how that islan has gotten there in the first place. Never mind, Ill have Dr. Conrad hold the confrence in the pub

Mara Jade: Better not make it a Dry confrence.

Electrical Superstorm - Part 1Sir john Turns around and notices a Massive Electrical Storm ripping his Island to shreads. Soon 1000 Lightning Bolds strike Sir John (He is on the Highest point on the Island BTW). Instantly killing him. Lighting bolts strikes the Island every second per suare foot of land!.
You can't just kill off another player. Also, this would be more energy than has ever been produced since before the days of amoeba being the largest creatures on earth.
 
*sigh* Didn't any of you learn from the Resistence Movement in the Huntington GoldBluffCasino thread? We could have said, "special forces numbering 500,000 came and took the city!", when infact, the city wasn't retaken until a couple of turns later.

Besides, even if there WAS life on the island, there'd be extremely small clumps of grass/moss - provided they even had a chance at surviving. An island of this magnitude appearring would certainly cool the global tempretures down, causing more winterstorms and dust to travel through.

When the Hoover Dam was built, had they poored the concrete in one felled swoop, and not section by section, it would still be cooling. Concrete has a heating effect when it cools. It would have taken 50-75 years for it to cool off, and that would be just one slice of the mountain. It would take a few centuries at the very least for a huge island like that to cool off - maybe even several thousand years. Now, had we had this storyline back at the start of the game, it might be feasible.

I'll tell you what. If we get a cold, icy world next game, start this thread, but you can't even BEGIN to use the island under 3 conditions:

1 - The area's been explored in the game
2 - You can get there by the correct naval tech
3 - It's been a couple thousand years so that it can cool off and actually start to have vegetation.


Also, you can't just "take over" the island in 1 post. I was wondering why the English and Chinese weren't on the map anymore. Sure the English are defeated, but, that could have been their last stronghold. (provided they were in special crafts and houses...). How would you make food? Aquatic Farming? Do we even have a required 'tech' for that? Even if we HAD Aquatic Farming, do you think anything's living within a hundred miles of the island? Probably not. Earthquakes, lava flows into the ocean, etc. kills off coral reefs, which disrupts the eco-system. :ack: I'm starting to sound like my 9th grade science teacher! :D

OOC: I have changed my two posts (I also have cought Stuck and had him change it a bit, I need to catch Noldodan so he can change his part). Sorry about the unusual twist im my story, It will never happen again :(.
 
I don't need to actually change my part, as similar damage can be wrought on eagles by ANY storm.
 
I think we should start this thing over. There's several things wrong here.

1 - What happened to China and England so quickly?
2 - They CLAIM parts of the island, but it's still not right for living conditions.
3 - It's only been 50 years. The ground is still hot, and lava could still be flowing. Most new islands and volcanos are only a couple of miles wide, not 60x70 miles wide. That's like all of Central Maryland.
4 - What about pyroplastic (is that the right term?) flows and lava? Hot gases?
5 - The island is barren. Granted, it could have 'coughed up' chunks of gems on the edges, but they would be buried. How would you get to them? The rocks are still hot, not to mention probably 'crusty'. Even if they were hardened, they might only be 10-20 feet thick.
6 - How are you even going to place units on the island? You need planes. We have planes, BUT, they're "WWI-WWII style" - crude and can only travel short distances.
7 - An island of this magnitude can greatly affect the weather. A volcano erupting in a 10x10 mile area can lower tempretures by 3 degrees (not sure if they meant farenheit or celsius). Remember what happened that one year when such an event occured? A 60x70 mile volcano erupting (remember, this was AT ONCE) would be MANY times greater. Perhaps 42 times greater than 1 tile. The entire WORLD would be an ice world. Why? All of that dust, smoke, debris, and derbis would fall on the surrounding land, constantly, making airial and naval excursions nearly impossible, not to mention destroying vegetation, and blocking out sunlight. That would be an over 120 degree drop. Even that would mean just below freezing tempretures at the equator - at the highest. If this volcano did explode, it would have to be gradual, and not all at once.

You're the one who ok'd the island's creation and posted it's dimensions, so you tell us why we're not an ice world. But I do agree with your other points, a good example being my greed to take over the island...
 
Right, that's the only thing I posted. The island's dimensions. I was hoping everyone would realize the effects that a volcano of that magnitude would have erupting at once. Oh, there's another thing I didn't mention.

Tsunamis. The inland sea would be so disturbed, that any cities and towns would be subject to waves of well over 100 feet, maybe a few thousand. There would be major inland flooding a few times over. The sea is barely closed off, so cities like Bavaria, Toyama, Paalsville, etc. would still feel the effects (maybe not as strongly, but would still see huge waves at the least).

Not to mention boilding rain falling down on cities...

Wrong. I agree with much of everything else, but consdier this. It is one tech to Rocketry (or do we have it?) meaning we can build jets. That puts our aircraft development level AT LEAST at the level of the Korean War (even later, judging that the Civ3 Jet Fighter is a Cold War MiG or SU.) Also, consider that by the end of WWII the Germans had designed (but not built) bombers capable of striking New York, and the Americans had built the B-29 which could fly all over the Pacific (which island did we nuke Japan from? It was either Guam, Bikini, or Tinian I think....) Therefore, our range is not nearly as restricted as you think. Considering that the Civ3 Bomber does not change at all from its development until the end of the game (doesn't upgrade to Stealth) we could very well consider it as anything from a B-17 to a B-52 (anything from the B-29 on, which would be bombers like the B-32 Peacekeeper flying wing and B-52 Strat gives us immense range.) Your points are valid, but you are very mistaken regarding our air power capabilities. And regarding the growing of food, we didn't. If you read the posts of myself and Shaitan, we were flying it in daily.
 
For ONE TURN! That's not even enough to begin to build an entire fleet! In Civ3 turns, you'd need another 5 years to even have a few. I was also talking about BEFORE we got Rocketry. Besides, rocketry isn't Advanced Flight and Stealth.
 
?? Wait, I'm confused.... one tunr for what? Building aircraft? We've had flight for some time now, I thought.... besides, I don't think the RPG runs in terms of in-game time (maybe it does.... I don't think we have a rule regarding that.) And what does Advanced Flight and Stealth have to do with anything? I never mentioned paratroops, helicopters, or stealth aircraft.... just fighters, bombers, and cargo planes (nobody is jumping out of them.) If I read your post wrong, could you please clear it up for me?
 
The whole thread has come out of hands... It wasnt as fun anymore when CT came with her facts :P

Its a game.... A little unrealistic stuff can happen right?? Dont be so picky...

BTW: the electric storm was well unrealsitic.... And you have to get the hold of yourself stuck and stop killing people...
 
I just have one things to say to you stuck: :p
