BoSS Motion 27

The BoSS will be given control of an NPC country or coalition of unspecified size, which will be used to create a war, with the purpose of bringing players out of inactivity and increasing the liveliness of the thread.

The war will damage the military and/or civilian population of player-controlled countries, but none will be destroyed or severely crippled (unless the player wishes this), and players may request to be excluded entirely. Mildly inactive players will not be attacked until they post at least once, and entirely inactive players will not be attacked, unless they are so inactive that their lands have become NPC-controlled.

This motion will additionally give the BoSS control over the NPCs in uninhabited lands, in order to provide a better defense against the invasion.

The BoSS will, when conducting this invasion, write it in the form of fairly lengthy posts, with the intention of stretching this conflict out and allowing for the use of tactics and plots, in order to provide entertainment for all.

Arretium, Atlantis: National Defence has announced that it has discovered several small nations on one planet in the Helios System. It reports that these nations have been hostile towards the Kidros, attempting to fire on them. One Kidro is missing after it was destroyed before raising its shields.

The Kidros have withdrawn to the planet's orbit and are awaiting further orders, colonization of other planets continues without delays.

News flash!
Tanician border guards on the Vietnam-Laos border have come into conflict with Vorno troops. How this started is unknown but it is quickly escalating. Both Tanicia and Vorno refuse to step down and are sending in reinforcements.

HFPE
The 4th fleet is orbiting above S.E Asia and is ready to defend Tanicia. The 2nd, 5th and 6th fleets are being sent to the Sol system in case this escalates further.
Army, Marine, Air Force and j86 Task group reinforcements are being sent to the border with reserve units being told to mobilise. They have been ordered to defend Tanicia’s borders and prevent Vorno from being a threat.
Agents that have been infiltrating Vorno for decades are starting to sabotage Vorno’s capabilities. Supplies are being held up and “lost”, intelligence agencies are being given false information and military units are completely disorganised.

Hello everyone!

I haven't posted since January because my laptop motherboard failed and I have been without a computer until just recently. (Thanks, tax refund!) I look forward to reading through the last 45 pages I've missed and catching up. I hope to end the Porschestani rebel conflict soon and begin interacting with the world yet again. Expect a post from me soon!

Location: KNS Yellowstone ; K-1.3.2 class Patrol Corvette, 300 degrees on the Outer Arm, Neran Periphery

Lieutenant Franklin Myers walked onto the bridge, carefully toeing the blue-lit lines on the floor to avoid walking into a console or falling down the stairs. "Why is it so dark again?," he finally asked, exasperated.

"We're the night shift, remember?" answered a chirpy voice. Franklin squinted and saw the new ensign they had taken aboard back at Yanessa. He couldn't remember her name; Jessica, Jamie?

"We're on a space ship on the edge of the galaxy. There's no night."

"Apparently maintaining a proper day-night light cycle is good for your melatonin or something. Human Resources gave a presentation on it a couple days ago."

Franklin ignored the response and poured himself some coffee from the often-used dispenser near his station, grumbling. "Stupid HR, stupid melatonin. I bet the Star Destroyers crews don't have to do this."

The border conflict between Tanicia and Vorno is quickly escalating, with reinforcement from both sides arriving in to the battle. Neither side seems to be willing to back down, it looks like full blown war is about to start.

HFPE
Marines and Task Group troopers from the 4th fleet are preparing to drop in via RDXTs and drop pods into Laos and Burma. Wet fleets from Vietnam and Singapore are being sent to the coast of Burma to support the marine landings.
The 2nd, 5th and 6th fleets have arrived in the sol system and are preparing to fight Vorno’s space fleets in the system and even invade their moons of Saturn if needed.

HFPE @Magery & Vrangr Wayne:

I have an idea for a powerful weapon... The name alone should make the basic premise clear: Temporal Cannon. And I would like to attempt to make one with your tandem assistance.

The end product should be capable of ripping the target out of the normal flow of time, removing them from normal existence permanently. Reversing the effect is something to consider, but is not essential to the main project.

This is a weapon of vast capability. Highly destructive, yet precise. Completely destroys (From a conventional standpoint that is, even though the target still exists, it can no longer interact with the standard planes of existence.) the target, yet is capable of causing no collateral damage with the same shot. A carpet bombing with the precision of a scalpel.

Interested? Both the TGE & R'ni would then have free reign to make their own versions.

End HFPE.

OOG:

I would be interested, yes; I just need to figure out how exactly it would work (or, at least, the version the TGE would be making). I don't know whether or not physicists consider time as like a 'fourth dimension' or not; in mathematics, the higher dimensions are things like R4 and so on (hypercubes, et cetera).

I've turned applications of the latter interpretation of dimensions into weapons (hooray for the Lament Configuration), but I'm not sure how yet to justify the latter.

That said, I've only been thinking about it since I started typing this message, so it's not like I've put in any great effort into making it work yet =P

"It turns out I was slightly mistaken. It is Dark ENERGY that has negative gravity, not Dark MATTER..."

In the broad sense, yes, you are exactly right =D

In the specific, pedantic sense, dark energy doesn't have negative gravity - it's energy, not matter. It's more that it is negative gravity.

On a side note, god freaking damnit.

Why does the most interesting thing in CYOC to be suggested/decided upon recently have to begin exactly when I don't have any time for anything like it?

I would love to participate/write for this plot/idea thing, but right now I just don't have the time: midsems and assignments, et cetera, et cetera.

HFPE @Magery:

At the very least, Reach can fund the project in its completion. However, we will assist when & where we can.

OOG @Magery:

I know how it is to have little/no time available... Working 7 days a week, every week, for 3 months; last time I checked, it was mid-February and cold, now it's almost April and (For today at least) still cold.
