The Azadistani - Munkchester War [OOC] [MT?] [Closed]

[Mandakhstan]

How exactly is this rp "Strictly realistic on the basis of MT" when there's a Mach 10 spacecraft that can be launched in a moment's notice flying around launching drones that penetrate hostile airspace undetected that can save someone being thrown into a volcano. I've been rolling with some of the other claims in the thread but that just seems way too out there even for NS MT.

It’s not in space and it doesn’t fly at Mach 10. Look closely and you will see the moon and you’ll see that it has launched a drone at Mach 10. It’s a high-altitude airship designed for launching spacecraft, and also designed to look like a spacecraft and designated as one mostly to terrify people. Speaking purely theoretically I think it could probably make it to space as it’s a partial pressure difference vacuum airship which enables anti-matter harvesting by coils from the atmosphere, but to be honest there’s no point as spaceflight is so expensive that it won’t.

As such it’s still 8000 km away from any railguns, protected by the atmosphere, not to mention Aestoria’s Arctic Flotilla, and it’s not in the path of any ballistic missiles, so I think the only defence it needs is the ignore can(n)on, but if I’m wrong please do correct me.

Munkchester, sorry, but I don’t like RPing by TG. If you send any peace offer ICly I’ll be happy to look at it.

Look, I appreciate the attempt at a Bussard ramjet, but that shit doesn't work in atmosphere. If it did, there would be firecrackers constantly going off everywhere as atoms of antimatter intersected with normal matter counterparts. This simply ignores basic science, and requires little advanced thought to figure out. The rest of the craft is highly suspect, especially in MT, but that particularly glaring issue both astonishes and amazes in equal measure.

Neo is an OP

[Veliki Koperativni Kombinat]

Do anticipate my reply to your post, 2ria.

Can I inquire as to if the aircraft you're sending have been flying from home or a base somewhere else?

Neo is an OP

Thank you.

[Sinkretichki Kombinat]

I'm not sure how you avoid entirely any effects of a 45 kiloton thermonuclear warhead detonating (even if not right in that thing) in a position rather close to it.

[Rhinocera]

Hey y’all, just want to say I’m looking forward to all this. Seems like it could take an interesting turn. On another note, I didn’t see anything about a nuke...

I'm sorry but what? I'm not sure that this is applicable in an MT setting.

It's in another Azadistan thread.

[Rhinocera]

Who got nuked, and who started it. MAD is never the best idea...

[Veliki Koperativni Kombinat]

Unfortunately it would appear Ausitoria has blocked my telegrams after I sent him my terms for peace (any reason as to why?), so I'll put this here instead.

Please edit the OP, the Sultan's head is still on a spike on the Eastgate.

If the Sultan’s head is still on a spike in Eastgate, have you still sent a head filled with explosives to Azadistan? If not we need to recton that half of the IC because the police warning wouldn’t make any sense...?

The head full of explosives was a fake head according to Munkchester.

MAD seems like a great idea when your opponent is using 3km vacuum airships in an MT setting. Don't forget drones that can seemingly deploy anywhere in the world to save people falling into the caldera of a volcano.

[Rhinocera]

You nuked L&A??? I saw the drone catch, no 3km airship though.Honestly, the drone catch just seemed like a way to counter some shoddy rping by a few people, resulting in a national leader getting tossed into a volcano. It’s plot armor, at least in my eyes.

I probably haven't described it properly. Read this and please let me know if you still think the same.

They're amphibious, so they've flown from a submarine tanker.

Sorry, perhaps I should have been clearer. No nukes or everybody dies. Retcon/Ignore can(n)on to the rescue.

They can't deploy anywhere in the world and they still take time. There's a limit to how much you can accelerate a drone.

Besides, perhaps I should restate one of the basic tenants of RP: you can't throw people's major characters into volcanoes (or to their deaths by any other methods) without their approval.

Okay Rando Calrissian, why raise issue if you're not even going to read the posts and context properly?

That specifies artificial generation of antimatter which is a net loss of generated energy due to entropy, and near planets rather than within their atmosphere, as your craft is. It's all on page six, right up at the top. Please read it and let me know if you still think the same.

Madakhstan, it's kinda busy. If you can't be polite the door is that way.

Try reading page 7, right at the top. It is known that cosmic rays generate antimatter and that such particles move a bit closer.


Neo: forgive me for phrasing it this way, but WTF is your country doing? There must be much less well defended and much less contested countries to invade. Why, I could list some, if you wanted particulars. There are already about three major parties involved and any more is really quite unrealistic.

I’m not even in that thread, I gave it a cursory read through. Just curious, that’s all. And I feel like I’m not that far off with my assessment of what happened.

Country 1 = 1
Country 2 = 2
Country 3 = 3
1 - “We declare munchdekistan a terroristic nation”

2 - “come take shelter here”

1 -“ok, I do take shelter here”

2 - “your my prisoner, do this”

1 - “I refuse”

2 - “then we’re keeping you”

3 - “not if I have anything to do about it”

2 - (throws nation 1’s leader into active volcano)

3 - catches leader with drone

Earth has a magnetosphere preventing such formation from occurring within the atmosphere due to its dispersion of high frequency cosmic rays well outside of Earth's atmosphere. Your source states that such formations occur within the aforementioned magnetosphere, rather than the atmosphere proper. If it weren't so effective at doing that, the Earth would still be a dull grey rock, devoid of any life. Please at least try a form of propulsion which doesn't fly (heh) in the face of centuries of accurately measured and checked convention.

[Libraria and Ausitoria]

Excuse me, but do you have to be part of the thread to comment on it?

If you are here not providing anything that helps the RP itself run and communicating something that could easily be done elsewhere that here holds little relevance to the RP, then yes.

Sorry for going back, but could you two please be more polite also? Try using words like "sorry" and "please" and "thank you". I know our nations may be at each other's throats but there's no need for things to get personal.

Thanks for that clarification.

I never said the harvesting wasn't in space. Neither did I say the airship was on hand for it. I said (by my reckoning) the airship enabled it, which it does, by making space travel cheaper, by saving rockets from needing the first stage. One of the interesting corollaries of this is that it might enable antimatter harvesting at a reasonable price.

But anyway, much as this conversation is interesting, it's not relevant to the RP.

sure I'll concede to that for the purposes of being able to do other things planned

the presence of a delta-class was basically explicit in that post

Could you perhaps explain why that "shoddy rping" is by any means illegitimate as opposed to this plot armor as you have described yourself?

Not overly, but a big physics defying blimp which dodges nukes is.

Oh, I know this one! Because if a first party lowers standards the second party may need to use the low standards to raise them again.

[Rhinocera]

I never said that the plot armor wasn’t shoddy rping (no offense L&A), just that it looked like plot armor. L&A and I have been rping since I started Rping on NS, but plot armor is plot armor. The catching mitt drone is a ridiculous response to an equally ridiculous series of posts.

[Sinkretichki Kombinat]

Which is ridiculous in what fashion?

Actually I think it's only stretching the boundaries. This morning I ran the calculation and it would need an acceleration of about 150 g over 3 km to get it to Mach 10. That's a lot, but it might be possible for a small enough drone.

I mean, we could retcon it, but if we do we're going to need to think of another IC way to avoid having someone's major character thrown into a volcano without their OOC permission...?

Airships do not defy physics and if you don't like it the door is that way.

The exchange between VKK and Azadistan was in fact proceeding voluntarily until you barged in with the metagaming-leaning communication about nanoparticles.
