OOC: FCL/Azan Discussion Thread

[joncha]

@ Lazerus:

1. The posts in the West were just acknowledgements of your attacks, they were not counter-attacks. Our side was waiting on Frankychan's move before responding. We were just reacting to him when you posted about your uber-bomb. Your armour is untouched because nobody's had a chance to post about attacking it yet!

move--> response--> counter-move--> response--> move

2. You destroyed the Auldoninna flagship in port, fine. But there is no indication that you are in control of Tel Azan again.

3. Your "x-bomb" is ridiculous. You might as well have posted that one of your super-soldiers destroyed the city with his heat vision.

looks like the game getting interesting again ..

One bomb, rendering an entire city uninhabitable? I don't think so.A sustained bombardment, perhaps... but even then, you'd need to find a way to this powder inside buildings, etc, if you wanted to actually kill everybody.

OOC: Lazerus, about your question on the attack in the direction of Hofesh, Your attack was on the other side of the river. And you've indeed continued pushing there ( And you can see my forces retreating through the mountains. My attack was in a continuation of the Auldoninnan push up in that same map, a push that is supported from that side of the river, and is not threatened by your push. And since you have your army on the other side, I am facing FCL opposition only, and a weak one at that ( since their line has been in that front much previously in the game, through Auldoninna's amphibious landing, and my simultaneous ground attack, encircling about a half of FCL forces in an enclave in Concept. Those, being surrounded, and unsupplied, are retreating.)

[Rasputin]

need some input on the acceptance of his X bomb, if it is accepted ,y retaliation strike is jsutified....

[Frankychan]

I think this whole situation is missing something here....it's all about interpretation.

To the Hive commander's P.O.V., he would see the strike and the weapon used as making the city uninhabitable. I interpreted it as being (as Mr. President said) a daisy cutter bomb. This would flatten the city, without being a nuke, and thereby making the city uninhabitable to the Hive's point of view. Destroying most of the cities infrastructure would be a devastating blow to Tel Azan. I think you are all taking it too literally.

I did not see this as a total violation of the game once I re-read it. I see this situation as the Hive adopting a scorched-earth policy. Basically, if the Hive can't have it, no one will. I was planning on having Frankychanland adopting a quasi-scorched earth policy, but decided against it because Frankychanland and Azan share the island together. Bad blood between are two nations will already permeate diplomacy for a long time.

Anyway, I do not see the Hive's actions as a nuke. But I wait Lazerus' response.

[GeneralTacticus]

I suggest you read his post again, specifically, this bit:

The images flickered across entire walls as dozens of seperate images from across the city showed citizens writhing in agony on the floor, choking out blood. The bomb was designed to render a city inhospitable for decades. The fine but heavy powder clung to surfaces such as buildings until it was brushed off by contact, the particles would then hopefully from the skin work their way through into the body either by a cut or through any pore. Once inside the body as little as 0.01micro grammes per 5kg of mass would be lethal within 2-3.5 minutes depending on the person as the respiratory and nervous system came under assault.

That looks like some like of hypothetical chemical weapon to me.

There's a very good reason why animal venoms are in liquid form and nerve agents are dispensed as gases.

[Rasputin]

still awaiting the official repsonse to this...

If it is Bilogical then auldonina must have the right to a full rataliation , if the post is re wrote to say it only a cluster bomb attack, whislt sad the city is badly damaged, seeing it was onyl one plane, i think the majority of the city will still stand.

but if this is biological, we will respond in kind and worse.... this type of atrocity must not be tolerated.....

[GeneralTacticus]

It wasn't even one plane-load, all it was was a single bomb.

[Squeblish Nef?]

You know, Al Mastif could do with one of those...
We've just been using 'Organ Enema v3.4' on those Khaftanis.
While fun, it takes quite few minutes to take full effect, and while much more enjoyable, it's not quite as effective.

Actually, Organ Enema v3.3 is now up for sale, if anybody wants some.
That, and the rest of our fun and whacky range of chemical and biological weapons.
And, if you post within the next five days, we'll even throw in a free Pilates yoga mat!

[Squeblish Nef?]

I'm not going to post another update on the chemical weapons attack until Franky posts his losses.
But remember, Franky, this gas is nasty!

[Rasputin]

Auldonina are disapointed that the Attacks happened in Frankychan land.....


Whist Frankychan has been aggresive, so far we have no Eveidence to support they are behind any atrocities.

[Urban Ranger]

My view on the Hive X-bomb: ignore.

Otherwise, it'd just become a silly escalation of "my secret weapon is better than yours."

[Rasputin]

i hoping that is what occurs, otherwise we end up with our next nuke winter......
