Sorry I've been gone a while, but I'm back. Well, I've only been off-NS for two days, but, when it comes to our OOC discussion(s), that's like a decade.

EDIT: Not only Servoth and Vitzenburg, of course :p


Well, you're pretty much on my side, then. Or at least we don't think you're that bad. Plan on a positive message from Queen Autumn when I get a chance to write it (I'm on a school computer right now)\

Itailian Maifias wrote:Well this sucks. I had a six paragraph OP of my introductory thread finally finished, and then my internet browser crashes and I lose it. This sucks.


That's why whenever I'm writing something of any real length, I type it up in Notepad and paste it into NS. Some people prefer MS Word, but sometimes, if you have any BBCode formatting, it will confuse Word -- you don't get that problem with Notepad.

Get Google Chrome. It is everything I could have asked for.


Firefox is better.

@ Mafias: ask your wife to explain to you what exactly it is about IE that she prefers over Firefox, Chrome, Safari, or Opera. When she can't find any real reason (which she won't), hit her with a big, fat "I told you so now do it."

He only said retreat, so I assume (ahem Vitz and Fan) that he is only retreating. Of course he can do more than that, but as of now, there isn't much to support him doing anything not retreating-like.

Besides, I got like 10,000 people (and decreasing) attacking a force much larger than ours. Plus, based on the way these guys RP, I can't just say 'I'm doing a surprise attack' since they'd just counter it. And if I do commit to a surprise attack without saying it, people are going to berate me for god-modding and having troops appear out of nowhere.

For example, based on Khamul posting in the AMEN-war thread about having troops behind my lines, I can simply choose to be a douche and attack those guys even though they are supposed to be spies or insurgents of some sort.


You make us sound so mean. Of course you can do a surprise attack, if you RP it in a reasonable way. Of course, this means that whomever you're attacking responds in a reasonable way, too (i.e. not magically knowing your guys are there when they have no logical way to know that, given the information presently available).

Vitzenburg wrote:I really don't think Cyprum understands the things Fan and I say to him about situations.


Maybe.

Inoroth wrote:Quite the opposite, Pavlo... If one believes in a knowable God which one can interact with (which I do), then why wouldn't one wish to take time to honor Him?

It's the starting premise, the answer to the question of "Is there a God, and if so, can one know Him/Her/It" that we are differing on here, and how one answers that question determines a whole lot about what one believes... But I'd really rather not threadjack the OOC with a theological debate out of courtesy, so if you, Khamul, or anyone else want to talk about atheism and christianity, I would propose we do it over TG's or in a new thread, rather than clutter our OOC... which I am doing right now by continuing to talk... :)

@Inesea - Got it now :)

@Servoth - It's like lent, where you give up something that sucks an inordinate amount of your time or interest, giving that time or interest to reading scriptures, meditating, and prayer.


Careful, Inoroth -- in the context of Bible study, to "know" someone means something completely different. Think Sodom and Gomorrah.

Ok, here's the official deal:

I am allowing myself 1 hour of internet per day, because a.) I am expecting an email from my school that is extremely time sensative and b.) you guys move too fast on the OOC... if I didn't keep up with it over the next 3 weeks, I'd never catch back up. So, you might not even notice I'm "gone" :)

@Fan - If that's where your mind leads you, I'll put in a special prayer to the Big Man for you tonight :p

EDIT* Nov, can you send me some stats on the Armageddon's armor? I would like to do a few calculations :ugeek:

I am thinking: Thickness, material used, and what not.

Note: I am, in fact, a Christian (Greek Orthodox, specifically). I was just pointing out tongue-in-cheek that you should be careful when choosing your words, especially when literalists (which I am not) are afoot. I'm also quite fond of puns, especially dirty ones, regardless of the circumstances :P

Just remember: even God has a sense of humor. Just look at the platypus.

Okay, I can post having my airfleet appear at the ferry docks. What exactly should I do? Evacuate, attack, go after the fortress?

Mish, Have some head to where my Naval Group is rallying(Rally Point Zulu-Alpha i think) and some to the Docks. They can help evacuate, but should also attempt to destroy enemies.

The majority are fast attack or bomber airships, not transport, but alright.

Okay, so where is the naval group rallying relative to the ferry docks? Could we perhaps get Nova to put up a map or something?

Good, good. I'll make a post when I get back from a few errands, detailing my fleet arriving, as well as a telegram.

Would your nation join the war openly, or remain relatively neutral?

The key word is armored. Not fire-resistant. Not compartmentalized. Armored. Basically heavier than Air in itself.

Airships can't function if they're heavier than air... kinda the whole shtick about an airship is that it's lighter than air.

Thus an armored airship is still lighter than air.
