Nuclear War - Poly

[Adagio]

March 2004:

This month started out whith a big bang. Nuclear Master sent two nukes at DrSpike, who managed to deflect one of them on towards Spaced Cowboy. Sheep sent two nukes towards Comrade Tassadar, who also deflected one of them to Spaced Cowboy. Tuberski sent two nukes against Jamski, who also managed to avoid one of the nukes, which was sent to Spaced Cowboy. Azazel sent two nukes against ljcvetko, but ljcvetko didn’t take any precautions, and lost two of his cities, while sending two nukes against Spaced Cowboy.
Spaced Cowboy made a good choice for him: He chose to hide all his cities benieth a giant bunker, and save all his cities. Asmodean also went to the bunkers.
Cities lost: Newton (DrSpike), Novaya Salt Lake City (Comrade Tassadar), Berlin (Jamski), Beograd (ljcvetko) & Nis (ljcvetko)
ljcvetko was last seen running around with three legs, seven eyes and one arm with 10 fingers. He couldn’t avoid the after-effects of the nukes…



1 - Jamski (Munich remaining)
2 - Azazel (Earth remaining)
4 - Spaced Cowboy (Dallas, Austin, Houston & Plano remaining)
5 - DrSpike (Southampton, London, Torquay & Paignton remaining)
7 - Tass (Logan City & Ogden City remaining)
8 - Tuberski (San Antonio, Corpus Christi, & Laredo remaining)
9 - Sheep (Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide & Perth remaining)
10 - Asmodean (Copenhagen, Ã…rhus, Aalborg & Odense remaining)
11 – Nuclear Master (Quebec, Ontario, Canada & Calgary remaining)

Hehe funny stuff.

[Ljube]

I proved to be a very incompetent commander and I deserved to perish for that

O magnanimous Spaced Cowboy , have mercy on my peaceful former allies, my comrades Tass, Jam and Doc. Don't let my crimes cloud your judgement.
They are not guilty. The guilty one has already been severely punished.

Yeah, interesting round

Next round will end tomorow at 8 pm (GMT + 1)

[Spaced Cowboy]

Oh, F yeah. I love it when a plan comes together. I did not expect to see all those deflections and was actually hoping for launches from those guys. Looks like NM did not get my orders, but actually worked out for the best.

I'll be sending out this days strategy in a few hours to my glorious team mates.

The reds are on the run and they are going down.

I have one stupid question about deflections.

Suppose player a delfects to player b and player b deflects to player a. Then player c sends two nukes at a. One nuke hits a while the other is deflected at b. The nuke is then deflected at a, then b, then a....is there some kind of limit to the number of deflections here? Otherwise what happens to the missle in question.

This must be the proper time to take some credit and say that I was the initiator of this successfull aliance. Spaced was the one to orchestrate the last move, though.

Nothing can stop us now!

[DrSpike]

I object to devious behaviour........this is an honourable game for honourable players.

Nuke 1 gets redirected at player B, which is again redirected at player A, but since player A already redirected a nuke "last time" it hits this time

The hit/redirect goes like this: (Each letter is a nuke. R = redirect, H = hit)

RHRHR

[Spaced Cowboy]

Oh thanks ADG, its not a reset every time, but a continual process. I get it....doh!

[Jamski]

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

Why did you have to hide in your bunker? That was perfect teamwork from our guys, with launches and deflections

You should be toast you coward

We'll get you this round though

-Jam

[Spaced Cowboy]

Perfect teamwork, but a faulty strategy.

Where as I had less than perfect teamwork, but an excellent strategy.

When are you going to realize that you can't beat me in a stategy game?

[Jamski]

I'll take that as a challenge, a goal to devote my life to. One day... oh one day I will be triumphant

-Jam

[DrSpike]

Wow, Jamski reminds me of the bad guy from 'Inspector Gadget'.

[Jamski]

I hope you mean the classic cartoon series from our childhood on CITV

The film blew eggs.

-Jam

[DrSpike]

Of course I mean the cartoon..........glad you know it actually, after I posted it I thought you might only be aware of the film.
