I'm thinking of making a new alliance called ICSS or International Cooperation and Security Syndicate which will be centered on Military and Economic affairs with a bit of Peacekeeping.

I'd be down. If I survive and if CIS falls maybe we call it

Confederation of Independent systems

Ah yes, season 2 of CIS, it's like Fortnite or Fall Guys now lol

Fitting that I just introduced the Imperial Security Bureau and Crimson Command.

Wait. what if we do a year of star wars based alliances, countries, etc.

Right now my nation's working on a top secret project that will end up introducing the most lethal and torturous method of capital punishment ever devised, its called Project Cobra

lol, I also have an ISB, though it's the "Imperium Security Bureau"

I don't think that's how radiation poisoning works bud radiation poison isn't "quick" it's slow and painful and symptoms of radiation poisoning takes time to appear

I know how radiation poisoning works, I've done a bunch of research on it, the name of the method was just random, no correlation into how it actually works, however, if administered lethally, can cause death in mere minutes

what type of radiation are you using? are you using gamma, alpha, beta, ionizing?

85% sure the previous mentioned types of radiation is inonizing

[Janpia]

No, let them try. I'm probably going to have my close allies as high-ranking members and maybe have a share of anti-GENA and GCN people in the alliance.

Wow, I'm sure your revolutionary effort will be effective"

looks at every other alliance GENA absorbed who all tried to "sTaY NeuTrAl

"or not"

looks, it's all meaningless. You'll be supported by them calling you a 'new, clean alliance to stay free to aid II's progression and then forget about their burning desire to see new alliances thrive when they absorb you. They've begun it with other alliances, and they've tried with IHC, and they'll do it with you.

No no. Dont be bias. Explained it to a certain someone, got kicked for bias.

[The Military State of the Galapagos]

It is hilarious that people continue to invade NPC Nations.


Are people too afraid to actually RP a war with an NS nation that they have to invade NPCs?





It's pretty telling...

I tried Aursi is to scared

I was curious about this, and from a standpoint of pure radiation dosage it would take ~1,000 Gy (~10x the hourly dosage from the Elephant's Foot at time of discovery) to knock someone out and kill them in an hour. But theoretically you could kill quicker and with a smaller dosage (~1,000 to 5,000 rems) if you target the heart and its surrounding blood vessels and cause cardiac arrest.

It still wouldn't be a great non-lethal torture method, though. Radiation tends to be less...immediately painful than other choices. Plus you might as well skip all the next-to-impossible decontamination and use the material as reactor fuel and just use good ol' electricity for all your torture/execution needs. No need to reinvent the wheel.

Do you remember Chernobyl and that one engineer who's face had, I shit you not, literally melted off? Their skin melted off, they couldn't talk at all, and then when they could, the rest of their skin soon melted with it. Now, mind you, they got blasted with well over 100,000 Gy's and also looked directly at the core when it "blew up". It was every kind of radiation you can think of, from neutrons to iodine, but if I'm not incorrect here, I do believe it said that iodine made up the majority, and caused thyroid cancer.

radiation the best it will do is turn the red like a sunburn and make blisters appear. I'm curious about the source you got your info from that says radiation can melt someone's skin off? however, can't say the same for those who were near the explosion but again I watched a video that showed the effect of radiation on those peeps and I don't see any melted skin just people who got badly burnt

I do quite remember reading some survivor stories about Hiroshima. Some air raid aider or someting have his face melting. Dood died in 3 days

I think that was more from the heat and shockwave caused from the bomb than the actual radiation

It takes days to get to the stage of necrosis ("fleshing melting off people's bodies"), and even then by the time you get them there they'd be rapidly approaching a guaranteed death. Radiation is a sneaky killer. You feel fine, maybe a little ill for a couple of days, then everything escalates rather quickly and you die. Doesn't leave a lot of time to extract information, doesn't have any middle ground for non-lethal torture, and again cleanup/decontamination from the required dosage almost certainly wouldn't justify it over more conventional methods. Also "they couldn't talk" probably hinders interrogation, no?

I ain't saying you can't use it, just that it might realistically not be as good as you're imagining it to be for the job you want it to do.

(Also it's "ionizing" radiation. Iodine is something you can take that actually helps protect against radiation poisoning, ironically. Also Aleksandr Akimov was exposed to ~15 Gy at Chernobyl, not 100,000 Gy. The only deaths that happened that day within 24 hours were due to the explosion itself and debris. From what I can gather no human is recorded as ever having been exposed to 100,000 Gy. The only reason we have this number is through animal testing.)

EDIT: Of course, IC I can see a government definitely trying to experiment with this. Especially if the government wants to find a "recycling" use for its weapon-grade nuclear material. I just don't think their project is going to be very successful by the end of trials.

[South Olpen]

I was looking through some posts for a facebook, and I found this

I am I still controlled by South Olpen?

Did I ever control them? I don't remember ever invading them (much less gaining absolute victory)?

[Allanea]

I just don't see the need to experiment with an 'innovative' method of execution when human history has given us so many ways to kill our fellow man, from the absolutely heinous to almost entirely painless.

Also there are many actually useful things to do with your atomic waste.

Sure, they've tried some...shady shit when it comes to the IHC. They haven't had much success though, have they?
