Nuclear War XII: The bowl aint getting bigger, but the fish are breeding

[Chaunk]

It's actually best to just attack people and take them out, otherwise you've just started a war. Theres no gain in a war - in fact theres no gains at all in this game really - but there's a definate potential "lack of loss" factor in taking someone out.

Sorry Tehben, but you were just too slow on the Gladiator orders

Day three- Nuclear Docpiling

The construction cranes rumbled to life again today, as Chaunk, GeneralTacticus, and Jamski put up the new cities of Ubiquitous, Knights Templar, and R3\/3/\/G3!

DrSpike had just finished rebuilding the new Ambivalent Regarding the nuking of Spaced, when the ribbon was cut by one of Trokair's warheads. Three more of those warheads would descend on Vovan, wiping out a good sized chunk of the Middle East.

The explosion was seen by observors on a Nile riverboat shortly after the mafia struck again. The nine remaining passengers pondered whether they'd be first hit by a stray shot or by the mob.

Vovan's troubles were over, but DrSpike's had just started. Returning from a gladiator match, Doc watched as Nuke Spaced got renamed Nuke Doc courtesy of Jonny, who also fired three at Ljube, putting him back into the mid 1990s.

Responding to fan demand, the latest Jamski Studios epic, Galactic Overlord 4, brought back the great fleet actions of days past. Residents of Trokairland were unable to enjoy it though, as the ministry of information had banned it for "subversive content".

Dark clouds gathered over DarkCloud, specifically, dark mushroom clouds from Loinburger's three nukes. Adding insult to injury, one of Loinburger's spies had replaced DarkCloud's missile launch computer with a iMac, destroying his stockpiled nukes originally bound for Hercules.

Hercules breathed a sigh of relief, until Vlad Antlerkov dumped a load of four, putting the quest for Viagra at another premature end.

At the Apolyton Racetrack, assassins exchanged information on secret projects undertaken by Vovan, Spaced Cowboy, Skanky Burns, and Ljube. One reporter managed to gain additional information, but was promptly assassinated.

5 down, 11 to go.

[DarkCloud]

um- not to complain, but wouldn't that mean that I was out?

[Chaunk]

Hmm, yes logically you'd have thought so....

[DarkCloud]

I guess The Federated Empire of Norway is impervious to nuclear warheads

[I did have 2 bunkers that were about to go into use ]

[DrSpike]

Sounds like a good defence to have.

Btw Trokair and Vovan, you are now on my list.

[DarkCloud]

DrSpike- but by revealing that- that might just make them destroy you sooner next time!

(you may want to delete that )

[:) Smiley]

Whoops, oversight right there. DarkCloud is now officially WASTED

[DrSpike]

I don't mean I'll attack them next game. They are on my list, and will thus find bad things happening to them.

[Skanky Burns]

Or it might be a double-bluff.
Orders in.

[DarkCloud]

bah

That modern-day Quisling- (loinburger) did me in at long last. My people put of a valiant effort, but that fiend's spies took care of me.

[:) Smiley]

Oh yeah, Doc, Vovan didnt nuke you, he got hit by Trokair as well. Jonny's the one.

[Chaunk]

Orders sended.
