Man. Maybe I should have bought some weapons.

:saddowns:

Edit: I suppose it's disappointing this happened pretty early. This foreign policy and slightly odd weapons bought a smile to my face.
Hey, Blue? I'm loving the things you do. From the very first time, the fight you fight for will always be mine.

Yeah, what happens when there are still people alive, and no one has any weapons left?

I don't think it's necessary for everyone to get destroyed. The rules say that the winner's the person left alive who's done the most damage.

The New Roman Empire launches it's G-bomb at Egopotamia.

The Council of Elders of Pomeria have become bored with the current state of affairs and thus fire Pomeria's Burgerbeam at the New Roman Empire, dealing 45 damage and destroying said Empire.

Pomeria currently has 81 RU. Since it is now lacking a Burgerbeam, it will purchase another one.

Arsenal:
1 Burgerbeam (45 Damage)

Treasury:
36 RU


Update: The Council of Elders are now ingesting mind-altering substances and have decided to take further action. Pomeria purchases 3 Robbites for a total of 6 RU, then fires the Burgerbeam and all 3 Robbits at Ma and Pa's War Emporium, dealing 51 damage and destroying it.

Treasury: 30 RU

Pomeria then purchases a Putrid Ballistic Missile for 20 RU and a G-Bomb for 10 RU, and launches both at Kiensland, destroying it.

Pomeria is now broke and self-destructs.


Nations destroyed:
New Roman Empire
Ma and Pa's War Emporium
Kiensland
Pomeria

Roguelandia, in accordance with the desires of the all-wise Leader, decide that the aggressive tactics of Gebonia must end once and for all, and decide to enact their own sense of ironic justice by destroying Gebonia with its own weapons. They therefore fire their two G's Lucky Strike Missiles at the belligerent nation, destroying it completely.

Remaining Arsenal:

Burgerbeam (45 damage)
1 Pomerian Pomust (1 damage)

Remaining RU's: 40

Nations now destroyed:
New Roman Empire
Ma and Pa's War Emporium
Kiensland
Pomeria
Gebonia

Roguelandia further decides to purchase two RAB's from the nation of Alranicus, and launches an all out strike on the Grismath Empire. They fire their two RAB's, their Burgerbeam, and a single Pomerian Pomust at the Empire, doing what they hope to be critical damage. Their mathematicians are currently on strike, however, so they don't know if the Grismath Empire was destroyed or not. But they hope that a total of 86 damage will be enough.

I think you all might have jumped on MAD before a nation-state got destroyed. Fortunately, there's nothing to say you all can't get trigger-happy before that. I'll have to double-check some numbers when I get the chance.

Also, if we are in MAD, you have to remember that you can't go buying new weapons.

Ah, so you're right. Nevermind then. On with MAD! I might have to figure out what happens to those who don't launch like they should in a given time.

The MacLongnamian Free State launches a kitten into the air with a trebuchet. This is not a response to the recent WMD launches taking place all over the world, but rather a traditional part of the Awesome Day ceremonies held every year on June 10th.

The kitten falls to the ground harmlessly. In the sense that there's no harm to the ground. There is harm to the kitten. Oh man is there harm to the kitten.

I decided to do some double-checking. Here's what I got when JM's nation destroyed the Zarn Empire (mostly right, though Gris actually had 10 more points than he thought, maybe some other stuff):

Gebonia = 41
Grismath Empire = 101
Pomeria = 86
Kiensland = 30
Roguelandia = 20
Ma and Pa's war emporium = 70
Vegar = 60
Bobbertopia = 55
MacLongnamian Free State = 75
Egopotamia = 30
Vegienation = 25
Zarn Empire = -25
New Roman Empire = 60
Alranicus = 40

Update with current points soon!

You're right. You all should feel free to double-check my stuff as well. Next time we do this, I'll probably ask everybody (myself included) to update their status, and whomever they're buying from, everytime they post (which people have usually done but I just never outright said it).

Here are the numbers as they should be now. Again, I may or may not be wrong, and I'll leave it up to you all how you want to proceed. In any case, Pomeria is doing pretty well... though given the chance, I'll launch all my weapons (burgerbeam and 2 pomusts) at the MacLongnamian Free State. I'd cripple them as much as I can! >.>

Very well, the nation-state of Roguelandia once again decides to destroy the nation of Gebonia, launching their Burgerbeam at them. They then use their 2 lucky G-strike missiles and a pomerian pomust at Egopotamia, dealing 15 damage.

That's the idea. When MAD starts, everybody just launches what they have. Otherwise, the MAD moment would be little different from any other moment in the game.

You made your Spam weapon = 20
You bought the Dwarf replicator = 30
You bought it again to attack Kirby's nation with = 30
Rogue's nation then attacked you = 15

Since nobody bought your weapon, that leaves you with 5. Even if attacking Kirby with his own weapon was a joke, that'd be 35. Did I miss something?

Egopotamia has purchased only one weapon. Egopotamian ambassadors were merely pointing out the uselessness of attacking a nation with it's own weapons.

After a thorough review, Egopotamia's accountants have come up with 25 resources. Some adjustments have been made in the accountant core chain of command.

Unless the attack suffered upon our nation by the first g-bomb was in fact a hallucination, then our accountants say we would have 35 resources.
2008-06-10, 7:55 PM #79
Nope, that should be fine. I missed the one g-bomb attack. The second iteration of this game should go much smoother now that I understand what kinks need to be worked out.

FOR IMMEDIATE EXECUTION by agents of the Grismath Empire:

Fire 7 Pomerian Pomusts (7 dmg) at Roguelandia, reducing that state to -1 RU.

Fire 1 G-bomb (10 dmg) at Egopotamia, reducing that state to -5 RU.

( If the International Court of Justice decides that JM actually has 35 RU, then the weapons actually went to the New Roman Empire, reducing THAT state to -10 RU. :P )

Fire 2 RMBSDSYS (40 dmg) at Kiensland, reducing that state to -10 RU.

Fire 1 Putrid Ballistic Missile (20 dmg) and 1 Tactical Shark Cannon (25 dmg) (45 dmg net) at Pomeria, reducing that state to -4 RU.


The Grismath Empire applauds the heroic actions of Alranicus and reaffirms its commitment to defending the independence of the MacLongnamian Free State from wanton aggression. For Peace! For Justice! FOR VICTORY.

THE SCORE:
Nation-states destroyed:
Kiensland = -10
Pomeria = -4
Zarn Empire = -25
Vegienation = -1
Gebonia = -28
New Roman Empire = (-10)?
Egopotamia = (-5)?
Roguelandia = -1

Vegar = 60
Bobbertopia = 55
