[Joke] A Question of Security

Postby Chan Island » Mon Dec 18, 2017 4:30 pm

After a 105 year old grandmother somehow fought her way through your security (in fairness, her suggestion was actually the sensible one you ended up carrying out), you are suddenly very eager to ponder about the efficacy of your bodyguards.

validity: won't be a real issue

[option] "I agree @@LEADER@@," announces a mysterious individual who has just beaten through your bodyguards with only fists." They were absolutely useless cretins. A pity, really, that it really is such an interesting conversation...." Suddenly drawing a pistol, the person screams:" But it's time for you to die!"
BANG
.
.
.
"HOW DID I MISS?!"
[effect] every assassins walks up to @@LEADER@@ and strikes up conversation before magically failing to kill you

[option] "Nonsense!" Cries one of your loyal bodyguards as he dog piles onto the would-be assassin. "See how we're piling on this guy now?! Not getting out of that, eh? Nah, we're perfectly good. Honestly, the best in the region... I mean, seriously. How you noticed how many leaders Maxtopia's been going through?"
[effect] you are entrusting the security of your nation's leader to a bunch of goons who lost a fight with a 105 year old grandmother? What?

[option] "As usual!" Booms with faux-grandeur the nation's science advisor, however after seeing the room's reaction the man loses all of the enthusiasm and deadpans says,"Science. Technology. Like a robot or something would be cool."
[effect] I don't know about keeping you safe, but that little bodyguard combat drone is making an excellent replacement for your recently deceased pet

[option] "You know that there is a virtually infinite supply of tough guys who are super loyal to you that you consult all the time?" Asks @@RANDOMNAME@@, who's job you forgot long ago, "Yeah, how many bloody generals, admirals and the like do we even have?! I swear we have thousands of them. Surely you could just get your best generals to become your bodyguards? All of that loooong experience must count for something."
[effect] @@LEADER@@ is protected by a bunch of guys who were tough in the 60s

[option] "All you need is love...." sings the actual John Lennon, somehow teleporting into your dimension mid-song."Love, love is all you - WAIT, WHERE AM I?!"
[effect] the power of love is surprisingly good at keeping you safe, who'd have thought it?

Conserative Morality wrote:"It's not time yet" is a tactic used by reactionaries in every era. "It's not time for democracy, it's not time for capitalism, it's not time for emancipation." Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.

This is the pinnacle of comedy.
My Published Issues
Death Note
This is a Modern-Tech nation. We only put a satellite and a man into space so far.
We are a Middle power, so if we die, so will some of the global economy.
We have the 8th largest sovereign wealth fund in the world. (RL world)
Pro: Regulations, Military, Law and Order
Anti: Freedom of speech, Discrimination, CHEWING GUM
Just so you know, I don't think like that. That stuff is roleplaying Singapore (itself, the real life nation)
I have many issues, and you can find the complete list here.

Hello! I’m a GAer and NS Roleplayer from the United Kingdom.
My pronouns are he/him.
Any posts that I make as GenSec will be clearly marked as such and OOC. Conversely, my IC ambassador in the General Assembly is Ambassador Fortier. I’m always happy to discuss ideas about proposals, particularly if grammar or wording are in issue. I am also Executive Deputy Minister for the WA Ministry of TNP.
Kenmoria is an illiberal yet democratic nation pursuing the goals of communism in a semi-effective fashion. It has a very broad diplomatic presence despite being economically developing, mainly to seek help in recovering from the effect of a recent civil war. Read the factbook here for more information; perhaps, I will eventually finish it.
