Nuclear War - Poly

[DrSpike]

Actually I reread the rules. The deflection option looked strange to me late last night.

So we can start nuking any time?

Are we coordinating Jamski?

[Ljube]

Coordinating with two Mafias Doc?
Better watch out carefully. One of them might strike you in the back.

[Adagio]

Deflectin' nukes : Instead of lauching two nukes, you can deflect 50% of the nukes that were aimed at you, regardless of thier target, to the player of your choice. i.e. nukes 1,3,5,7 are deflected while nukes 2,4,6,8 will hit the cities. If your are targeted by 3 nukes, one will hit, and 2 will be "bounced" for example. You must say who the nukes will be deflected to when you post. If the target is also deflecting then the nukes are "bounced" onwards, but any one nuke is only blocked once by each player.

Now I re-read it, there's something I'm not 100% sure about

When deflecting, you have to chose which players nukes you want to deflect, right?
And to which player they're deflected to, right?

If the first one fits, then it's not nuke 1 - 3 - 5 that is deflected, but only the first one, since each player only shoots a max of two nukes anyway

[DrSpike]

Well I read it now as 50% of the total aimed at you in that turn. But it shouldn't be given as 50%, since it could be anything from 100% (1 from 1) to 50% in the limit with the number of nukes sent being very high. Right?

[Adagio]

You mean as 50% of all nukes aimed at him/her get deflected to some other player?

[DrSpike]

Ah hold on...........if it must always be an even number of nukes sent at you then 50% is correct. So the player just says "deflect to Jamski", then 50% of the even number of nukes get sent to Jamski and 50% hit the player.

Yeah that sounds better.

[Adagio]

"50% of the even numbers"

Don't you mean all the even numbers (Which is 50% of all nukes)?

[DrSpike]

Poorly worded on my part. The 50% of the total that are even numbered nukes get deflected, whereas the remaining 50% hits the player. I think.

Hey Jamski and Tass, what is our strategy?

Let's coordinate our attacks using msn, email or PM.

Doc, are you with us communists?

[DrSpike]

Yes. But who is there left for us to ally against?

[Spaced Cowboy]

[Adagio]

26 hours left, until the nukes starts flying

That bothers me. I was about to say I'll join you, (though not a communist - an evil regime, nonetheless, so I qualify), but then I realized only very few people will be against you. That's no fun fo course.

I PM'ed my orders to ADG. Note, however, that I did not target anyone on the alliance, so please don't nuke me to hell yet.

[Ljube]

To all members of the Red Alliance: Let's nuke vovanism!

Still waiting for the orders from:
