Area 25

[Apocalypse]

Area 25 does not exist.

This thread does not exist.

Area 25 was allegedly created after a banana shaped craft crashed into the mountains near where Geofront would soon be founded. Area 25 was built to house this craft and take technology from it. This is where banana velcro came from. Area 25 then became the main place where research is done.

Area 25 is neither a political party nor a govenment organization. It was thought to be created by the former President Ninot through a document known as MJ-12 that had his signature on it. That signature has since been proven to be a forgery.

Like The War Academy and The Machiavelli Institute, Area 25 is for discussion. This discussion includes anything relating to technology and research. The discussion will mostly focus on the best avenue of research, forming tech plans to develop our civilization. Unlike those other organizations, decisions can be made in Area 25. The goal is just to make sure that Apolytonia is following the best possible plan for research. Any constructive input is welcome.

Of course. Just put on this suit, which will be the last one you ever wear, again.

I just suggested a place where trickey could post. It had nothing to do with spam.

I suggest that the minister of science will also be the head of Area 25 as administrations change so that Area 25 will always be the forum where decisions will be made (unlike the other discussion groups which only discuss matters but don't have any formal power).

[MrWhereItsAt]

* MrWhereItsAt (who is still missing - see the Gazette for further details) has sent his brother, MrHereIAm, to address the Area 25 council

* MrHereIAm takes the floor

Greetings all. In the event of my brother's disappearance, he authorised me to start this conference.

The people have expressed resoundingly a wish to continue the war to America after Jean is forced to her knees After this the future of the nation is up in the air, although it is widely known that future Wars of Necessity will be, er, necessary.

Military technicians inform me through Minister Apocalypse here that Our Swordsmen could be mounted on Horses to give an even greater edge in combat. This technology is not yet perfected, but is not beyond the reach of the near future. A second interesting military project deals with the substance mentioned in some travellers' reports - that substance that explodes and makes fire. The properties of this unnamed material are as yet only known through hearsay and wild rumour, but I have been informed that a small sample was sent to President MrWhereItsAt, and a small number witnessed the explosive power of it firsthand.

It is clear that both technologies are highly important, but with the state of the treasury only one can be researched at a time. The debate shall begin: which is more important: the placement of Swordsmen on Horses that can be achieved within a limited timeframe, or the research into this rare explosive substance, that requires us to also locate a source. I thank you, distinguished members of Area 25.

* MrHereIAm yields the floor

[civman2000]

I'm in. In what? In nothing.

I have no problem with the Minister of Science being the head because when the time comes where I can't be Science Minister it will be because I have no time for it. That won't be until November/December term though.

[Kuciwalker]

What the heck. I'll join.

[adaMada]

Good idea for an organization (it seems like we've got one for practically everything else, so why not science as well? )

My sig's starting to get long, though, lol.

Edit: One question. Though there's clearly no 'rules' about what's under what organization, Apoc, do you think tech trades should be under the Machiavelli Institute, under the Area, or under both?

[Shiber]

If it's a techwhoring plan it can also be under the Adam Smith Foundation. Whoa... this is starting to get confusing...

[Apocalypse]

Trades can be discussed but really only when talking about plans.

For example, buying (or trading for) Monotheism to speed up Project Lain or Protocol Eiri. Another example would be trading for Engineering to speed along the Gunpowder rush.

[adaMada]

Ok...

I'm wondering if the purpose of some organizations shouldn't be refined a bit. I mean, if you've got a Tech trade to do, then it could be discussed under the banner of the Institute, the Foundation, or the Area. (Spooky names sound good, don't they ). Anyway, this is all OT, so... Apoc, good idea for an organization, and I'm proud to be a part of it.
