There was attempts to ban such, perhaps you could write up a law to put in the HoD to regulate it?

I recall that was an idea Bear had.

I mean, I'd be wondering what state supports them, such thst they'd have tanks and Sarin gas?

Well TCaDS did hint that the weapons the Era Two were using were of his quality and making; and we already know he still uses HP Rounds; is the use of Chemical weapons such a large stretch?

I'm getting fillings tomorrow. Woo.

That makes it slightly better, though that's a serious investment with no real return.

As for Chem weapons, well, like I said, I don't deal with nations that use either.

HP rounds are really just neutering his threat, they'll shatter on contact with good armour.

They're not that bad, just make sure you pay extra (not sure if it's the same as in England) and get white, it's about £60 but so worth it, you honestly can't tell the difference

Good armor you say? Hehe; perks of having a small Defense based Task-Force instead of a military is that we can role out new equipment like *snap*

Nothing like good honest capitalism to partake in a new industry of inhumane weaponry

The Praetor are an elite guard dedicated to the defense of Æden and its people; In most cases they remain non-lethal unless they are cornered by a full assault. And to all that wish to join Æden, know that the Praetor will defend you with their lives; no matter how far you are from the Heartland!

You don't even need particularly new or great armour.

With thick enough Kevlar you could stop it, or even just putting a plate of light, durable and strong armour backed by kevlar.

If you're looking for something like a heavier set, I recommend just outfitting your honour guard in that.

Consuls will be getting a serious upgrade in heavy armors, while Praetor will be outfitted in lighter combat equipments

Well, I had some ideas of attempting to provide a light and cooled armour along the lines of Army After Next but mixed with some stronger survivability in the form of an outer shell of expensive alloy -since we're just arming a small subsect of troops- and a small power-pack.

I mean, I'm not so certain we can agree on that.

Typically speaking, a "brave" attack would be fighting a force that happens to be ready for you...like attacking the capital is cowardly in the context that they had no way to prepare and you were basically attacking a neutered nation and killing massive numbers of civilians -urban warfare is a terrible thing- while this chemical attack is one that seeks to kill unprepared soldiers and will kill civilians through them not being prepared.

This is why "bravery because fight them head on" was abandoned as a concept, it's a contradiction to ask someone to fight by avoiding the main force while insulting the use of chemical weapons and placing an incentive on "brave fighting"

A sneak attack is more of a punishment for not being ready.

Also, as i said in the post, the sarin bombs did not belong to Viper, nor were they a part of the plan.

Also, a full on and obvious attack isn't brave, it would be foolish.

Thats what I had in mind with Froststone;

Its a full body suit with an aerial regulator and thermal veins to maintain a constant room temperature. Its lined with graphene plating and kevlar enforced joints; with a stable helmet with multi-light vision and an HUD.

Theoretically, it should have about 24+ hours of charge; and if technologically possible, it could harvest kinetic and body heat energies for extended battery life. My biggest worry is power supply and feasibility; I'm also thinking of mixing it with concepts such as the WarriorWeb to help with mobility and weight aid.

The Cross And Davids Star wrote:Aerial regulator? WTF is that?

sorry, I suck at describing things that I don't know the name of;

I meant recirculator; a mix of a CO2 scrubber and preobtained oxygen to keep soldiers from breathing noxious air; such as those tained by a chemical weapon (wink) or more commonly, dust and shards in the air from wartime explosions.

That's problem of "bravery" in the context of a military.

You can say that it's smart to do so, but the average soldier who has honour high enough up on their list to actually quit at the sight of a Sarin bomb would likely also refuse to attack the civilian government and population of a nation.

This is why "honour" as a concept of waging war has largely died out, modern tactics aren't.

Except you just waged war in their town, killing untold amounts of them as collateral damage.

It's similar to when Bax firebombed Flynn, TBH.

Those don't have much in common other than the same word origin, but I'll give you a pass since you have some sort of justification. Better that than to just pull Roman titles and offices at random and use them randomly.

Yo ContCom.

Hey, it's Rome.

Why hello, everyone!

I've been gone, what, a little less than two months? I see we've gotten ride of that dreadful Norsefire flag and replaced it with something that actually represents our region. And Vista looks like he's on track to actually complete a full term as chief executive. What else have I missed?

Not too much. More arguments, a nuclear apocalypse, and Percyton had a coup that briefly resulted in dictatorship.

Very large map update.

I wish I had a map of all counties of every province of every country. I want these details for land changes; they can be more exact like this. It also makes strategizing much more detailed, which is great fun for me

Hm...funny that you advertise it like that with RPs banning nukes. But I had an idea: what if we had a staged nuclear attack. Nukes wouldn't be able to be used wily-nilly; both nations would know and agree on it, and the writing for it would be more dramatic than anything, a scripted event.

*chuckles* Good guess, but no. The Tidmouth Times should have an article up in a day or two recapping what happened, but in a nutshell, my Defense Minister Diesel 10 imprisoned me and several other government officials and took power for himself, as he felt Percyton needed an aggressive nuclear policy during the nuclear crisis. However, Diesel 10 said he would give up power once the nuclear crisis ended, and that's exactly what he did. Diesel 10 is likely going to get 3 months in prison and a 20-year ban from holding political office, while all the other members of Diesel 10's conspiracy have been pardoned.

We have a few active as of now; Serpents of Æden, a terrorist RP where nations attempt to combat a multinational western terrorist group known as the :"Vipers"; the Confederacy General, a general RP spanning most modern day RP's such as the aformentioned ^^^

We also have Bear and Eagle coming out soon as far as I know

Here is the link to the two I mentioned earlier; and you can always start your own RP too

Hi. RPs are usually modern political, startinf off with diplomacy but devolving into a war. However, we've been trying (mostly with success) to change that recently and have been diplomatic. There are many alliances, the main two being the ITF and USCS (capitalist and communist, respectively). The others are the ASN and North Naboo Pact.

First apply for citizenship:

Than apply for a map claim:

To apply for a claim, contact [nation=short]baxten[/nation] with your preferred spot on the map

I just wanna thank you all for being an RP region :D, I'm in a Creative writing class, and an avid enthusiast of writing in general and this has really helped me advance my abilities as a testing ground for different styles. And if your wondering why I'm telling you all of this out in the blue is because, well one I recently got an A grade on a "descriptive paragraph" assignment, but also because as a free-time writer I'm glad for a place to express and evolve.
