The moon has been destroyed.

[Derscon]

er, what?

OOC...

You. You are an Austrian economist, yes?

No, and not sure why you'd think I would be, especially as Objectivism conclusively refutes the Austrian so-called "economics".

OOC: Oh, you're an Objectivist, okay. I must have been thinking Trilateral.

[Tansami]

The Dominion of Tansami refrains from taking a public statement concerning the announced destruction of the earth satellite known as "Moon" by the Parthenese Confederation. We furthermore are disinclined to take any position in regard of any possible event that might result from a major outbreak of "fail" or "epic fail" within the borders of the Parthenese Confederation or any third party.

[Bluth Corporation]

oh....my....science...

Parthenon isn't an idiot...he gets it, as does just about everyone else here.

That's not the point.

This is just for fun. Play along if you like, or don't if you don't want to. That's all that is necessary.

[Las Lisque]

The noted Lisquan scientist Ross Minna has rebuilt the moon and made it indestructible, and hunter Ando Ildeno hunted the werewolf species, and is now extinct.

...so Ando presumably missed a few.

The Spanish Republic would like to remind the Parthenon government that Dr. Eggman already blew up the moon a while ago, now.

We are disappointed to hear of the destruction of the moon, as our cows no longer get the exercise they require from jumping over it. Such activity was the reason behind Almajoya's lean and oh-so-tasty beef products.

To you, and to all the nations of the world, we would like to suggest placing a giant disco ball in orbit to remedy this situation.

Granine fully supports such an endeavor. The parties we could have at night with a gigantic disco ball in the sky would be totally awesome.

OOC:
That's funny, I don't remember it being pitch black out at night when ever the moon wasn't out...

Granine fully supports such an endeavor. The parties we could have at night with a gigantic disco ball in the sky would be totally awesome.

...Or you could lease ad space on the Lunar Memorial Billboardball, and have your giant disco ball - or whatever other design you want - only when you need it, saving massive amounts of money that can then be channeled into having even better parties, more often.

It's win-win!

[Fluffynibble]

Hey diddle diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the Moon er, Giant Disco Ball?
The little dog laughed
To see such sport, (but he didn't howl because there was no moon left to howl at.)
And the dish ran away with the spoon. (And were lost at sea because there was no tide to wash them up.)
...
And then, they all died from massive waves of radiation caused by the Moon's destruction.

[Clamparapa]

As the world marvels at the amount of moons the earth has now, Clamparapa is ready to put it's own object in space. An astronaut will sacrifice himself while space ships wrap him in yarn. He will have to hold the end so that the yarn will not fly away. A special cheese-wiz (C) mix will be sprayed on the ball of yarn to give the moon it's greyness. The government is hoping that this will be enough to recreate the moon.

[Fluffynibble]

OOC: Interesting... Meow.

You will disrupt the tides and mess up the food chain! This must be stopped!

RE: Moon placement

Greetings esteemed friends.

I cannot help but notice you are moving your own moon into orbit. The Fallen Empire requests you place it opposite from our Muffin. We do not wish the two to bump each other; you might mess up the frosting.

If the crème frosting is damaged, many romantic couples will not be able to kiss under the romantic glow of the Muffinlight. If placed within separate orbits, it has been predicted any lycanthropes who may be dieting might enter a feeding frenzy and devour any and all sugar products when viewing both a full moon and a full muffin. A collision might also smear miles of frosting into your luminous covering preventing proper display of your customer’s ads.

If you can come up with an equally beneficial solution other than opposing orbits, we will welcome to be advised. Please do not hesitate to contact us.

Salutations;

Rest assured that we've come to a similar conclusion, and taken the appropriate measures in resiting the LMB's arrival point prior to it's final jump into the Sol System, to insure mutual orbital stability.

Orbital adjustments will, of course, be taking place as needed as the orbital dynamic around Earth continues to evolve. Should you wish to coordinate any additional changes, you may contact the Kanuckistani High Guard through the ESUS Battlenet, as it was their generous offer of retasked naval Gravy Guns to facilitate the whole operation that made this possible.

[Belkaland]

After several weeks since the destruction of the moon, a Belkan scienist has annonced that due to the absence of the gavitational pull of the moon, the stable orbit and axis of the planet has been greatly destablized and the planet is now in danger of slipping out of its orbit and heading either into the darkness of deep space or falling into the Sun.

As such, we must move the sun. Either to come with us, or so we don't crash into it. Any suggestions on how to do this?

[Almajoya]

Quite. Almajoya suggests that we place Kenny G on Mercury, or perhaps on some artificial satellite that is even closer, and have him play and hold a single note for forty-five minutes. This will surely move the sun safely out of the way of our now-screwed orbit.

Alas, if Mr. G should fail, we will lose an important and integral figure in jazz music. *tear*

[The Great Lord Tiger]

OOC: I need to stop reading threads while eating -- I made myself choke a little.

IC: Dashing into the room of Prime Minister James Yunos, an unnamed messenger stared, terrified, at the leader of the Immortal Lands of the Great Lord Tiger. "The moon has been blown up!"

Yunos responded with a blank stare, accompanied by the crunch of another nut being inserted into his mouth and crushed into pulpy goodness.

"Sir," the messenger said in a panicked voice, "There's no more moon!"

Swallowing Yunos leaned forward and placed his hands on the desk. "Which moon are we speaking of, son?" the leader asked the young man in a voice hinting a suspicion of insanity.

The messenger watched him disbelievingly for a moment, before responding. "The Moon, sir."

Sniffing absentmindedly through his nostrils, Yunos leaned back and stared at the ceiling. "May I remind you, Tigeria HAS no moon..."

The ensuing silence was broken by another crunch of a delicious nut.

"But... sir... the moon..."

Yunos sighed. "Give me the planetary coordinates, and I'll send them a message welcoming them to a world with horrific tides making any land near large bodies of water uninhabitable." Receiving the message form, he snorted. "Seriously, how many planets are there at these coordinates? Either that, or this planet has the most bizarre distortion of time and space I've ever seen. How do you fit thousands of multi-billion person nations on one planet?" he asked rhetorically. Yunos scratched his head vaguely. "Isn't this Earth's coordinates?"

"It would seem so, sir."

Yunos sighed. "Dammit, I'm getting sick of all this multi-dimensional gibberish. We left a highly-developed Earth centuries ago, and yet here's another one in the 21st century of technology." He sighed. Very well, here is my message:"

To the nations of Earth 2413*,

We have received word that you have succeeded in destroying the natural satellite that made your planet perfect for habitation. Congratulations! We here on Tigeria learned to fear the oceans -- but since we have only about 20% water and you have 70%, not nearly as much as yourselves will, now. We find it most unfortunate that your instance of Earth had to come to this, and we would like to point out that the Earth WE left lasted for many more centuries with only one failed attempt to blow up the moon by a crazy sapient rabbit. We hope it all works out for you in the end.

P.S. Our sympathies for the loss of the Moon Cake market.

*By our count, the 2413th instance of a 21st century Earth, or Earth-like planet

P.P.S. We have just discovered that the generous Balroggans left you a moon-sized muffin. Never mind that it has nowhere near the same amount of gravitational pull as the moon -- I'm sure it will help you out. Maybe.

[Clamparapa]

We have just launched an elephant into space, since elephants are obviously bigger than the moon. It will provide heat and warmth and occasional sprinkles when it's warm out.

From: Muffins anonymous

We regret that our food taster, Eaty McEatington, has eaten the moon sized muffin in a single mouthful. For this reason, he is now sorely constipated, because some idiot did not make it a bran muffin. They are nature's brooms, dontyaknow? So, we are asking you all to donate your emergency supply of Tums, Beano, prunes, prune juice, beans, broccali, and Febreze. We sorely require these items, for without them McEatington shall implode in a shower of frosting and nuts, as we learned that it was not a nut-free muffin. Quote, "It was quite delicious, but a slight bit on the heavy side." Mr.McEatington is also a food critic, so count yourselves lucky. Anyways, should he implode we refuse to clean him up, as the Earth shall be destroyed along with Eaty. We also wish to borrow a cup of flour, as we are baking him a get well muffin.
