I'll have ravioli and Diet Dr Pepper.

Mythology is fascinating. When Percy Jackson was popular I was so into it and Greek mythology. I wish the books were better adapted into films because I loved those books.

Putin is a spooky meme. That's all I gotta say about that.

National parks are a good thing. It's important to preserve the beauty in nature.

And yes we should legalize weed ASAP because it is rly helpful sometimes tbh.

That reminds me, [nation=short]Percyton[/nation], do engines have religions? And if so, what are they? Do engines believe in an afterlife? Do engines worship at some sort of train church?

Jaslandia wrote:That reminds me, [nation=short]Percyton[/nation], do engines have religions? And if so, what are they? Do engines believe in an afterlife? Do engines worship at some sort of train church?

There are different religions among the engines on the Island. Some engines believe in human religions like Christianity or Buddhism. Some jokingly believe in a religion based around the worship of the Reverend Awdry, author of the Railway Series. Some are atheist, agnostic, or just don't care about religion. And finally, some engines believe in a religion based around the two magical engines Lady and Proteus: Lady is a beautiful steam engine whose power is believed to hold together the magic that keeps us alive, while Proteus is a narrow gauge steam engine whose magical lamp has the power to grant wishes to any engine who finds it.

Just like there are different religions on the Island of Sodor, there are different versions of the afterlife. Some believe there is no afterlife, and we're gone as soon as we're scrapped. Some believe in a train paradise in some faraway place, where engines' spirits go after their bodies are scrapped. Some believe in re-in-car-nation, where an engine's body is scrapped, but their spirit and magic are transferred to a newly-created engine. There are even some even some engines who believe in mixture of train paradise and re-in-car-nation, where if you're re-in-car-nated enough times that you achieve some sort of spiritual enlightenment or inner peace, then your spirit can stop being re-in-car-nated and move on to train paradise once you're scrapped.

And no, there are no train churches: We're far too busy to go to church. Most engines who do believe in a religion believe that working hard and being Really Useful is just as good as worship in showing respect for God/Awdry/Lady/etc.

Never said he couldn't, my dude.

Just saying it's going to fail immediately against any nation that can support it's own borders, unless they go the TCADS route of giving them vials of Phlebotinum to grow tanks and helicopters and airfields and hundreds of tunnels straight out of Palestine and "X" and "Y".

Like, PMCs in general are pretty 1980s -well the US used them but we stubbed our toe with them so we kinda gave up the idea of it- and pretty British to boot.

They don't shrug off blows, my dude, they break to diffuse the kinetic energy between plate shards while a Kevlar backer reduces the impact signature to prevent internal bleeding and stop the larger, less piercing shards. By virtue of being dense they do their jobs rather effectively, too, TBH.

True.

How would one Start a RP on the Fourms and on the News Part as well?

And another Question, where do we Get the Financial Information ?

News Part?

In order to start an RP, I personally think you should RP in some currently active ones just to get a feel for how we d!ck around..Er..I mean play around here :P

But then again, Vidnoye only posted news articles then got right onto his own RP, so you can literally do whatever you want I guess.

In order to start one, go here:

http://s15.zetaboards.com/COFN/forum/5016234/

IN the top right corner there's a new topic button, come up with whatever RP you want and write an in depth starting post to kick it off. And remember, the more details the better; People love it when there's little hand holding and you give them a lot of options to go forward

OK: Assuming this https://www.nationstates.net/nation=russian_fedration/detail=factbook/id=279285 is noncanon for the sake of not having to trawl through the many reasons why this is beyond MT or even PMT.

There are some pretty big problems with fielding the [KZ-99 Heavy Machine gun, 30mm] with dismounted troops at all. For one thing, those troops can hardly move with something like that and the ammo for it.

It doesn't weigh just thirty pounds, for example, considering that the M2 Browning is over eighty pounds despite using a much smaller round and a much lighter construction than a rotary cannon. In fact, let's address the ammunition problem for a second: You have it using 30mm rounds, yes?

I don't believe you do, considering that this (https://qph.ec.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-a6e6ab0fdf2cb45276eb93dce36be0db-c) is a 30mm round. You would need 300 to four hundred rounds to have an effective gun, and I don't feel like four people carrying [B]only[/B] the ammunition for the cannon could even carry four hundred rounds between them.

The [KZ-150 9mm Concealable Pistol] is a disaster in every way possible.

That super heated rod is going to set off your whole mag, considering the heat generated by it and the propellant will still be in the barrel when the next shot loads in, causing it to cook off without the trigger being pulled and possibly [B]setting off the whole magazine[/B]

I'm confused on the size of the [PS-105] but I imagine that it will either wear down the troops manning it or give Artillery something to shoot counter batteries at.

[Barium Core Detonator]...

Why would you even make this?

Grenades and C4 is purpose built to be simple for a reason...namely that it sucks to have to call up HQ for the 4-1-1 on what the hell you do to use the equipment they sent you.

Can you imagine what would happen if your Sapper forgot the code they have to put into the bomb to actually blow the bridge? It would be the least pretty thing since the British said that 30mm cannons were enough to destroy Tanks.

[Ion/EMP Gernade]

It most certainly does not have the power to short out a Main Battle Tank.

Ignoring how it glosses over how this effect would happen, MBT's are unsurprisingly robust...in fact, that's one of the key reasons it takes the Military so long to intergrate new technology during times of peace, they need to ensure that it's a robust enough system to use in the field.

I'll give you this, Modern Tanks aren't Lead-Lined, but they would certainly survive a single small grenade.

Again, ignoring the obvious sci-fi stuff like the Power Armour and the AT-AT and the floating Tank(No...just...no)

[MA-85 Heavy Transport Helicopter]

W...why?

Why in the unholy name of god would you have a helicopter that big and why would you ever try to ferry 540 troops? And no, it does not travel at 335KPH considering how massive it is. You're already burning mountains of fuel without benefit, you may as well save the bearings.

[CSM-12A 305mm Close Support Mortar]

I am dying.

I am dying and you did this.

Why would this have loaders, it's 305mm and we have mechanical systems that do it better and more quickly.

[SP-580 580mm Seige gun]

*SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

Now that I've removed the screeching from my body let me describe why god himself came down from on high to regret this unfortunate love-child of the Germans.

In any actual war, these will be bombed to hell faster than I think anything ever has been in RL.

I'm talking, these things will openly stop existing if the grace of god isn't with them since they suffer from "Heavy Is Better" Syndrome.

You have a massive target for CAS aircraft...or really anything up to and including a [B]cruise missile[/B] to destroy, it physically will need a massive amount of help to cross immense swaths of land, it will drain metal that should go to producing armaments for your troops, it will be a literal cancer for the war-effort due to the amount of protection it needs alongside funds and it will demoralize the troops when they don't see it firing because it's god-awfully expensive.

[MA-76 Attack Helicopter ]

It will not travel at 400KPH, not with that load and not with that structure..though it could take the same spot as the Apache at 284KPH on a good day.

[MA-99A Chinook Transport.]

Same problem as before but worse, also battledroids which kills the Kal.

[T-197 MBT]

no

n o

The Loader is dead, my dude, you have him lifting 152mm shells into a breech, each weighing a round-abouts of 90 pounds in a Tank that would see quick combat.

You have burnt out your loader and physically are killing the troops in general.

Besides that...51 shells of 152mm rounds? Really?

http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Ninja_STO/media/Artillery/Ammunition/ammotypes.jpg.html

If you have that just laying around in your tank than I hope god really is on your side, because your gunner is dead and so are you if a round penetrates the armour pretty much anywhere.

Also your Tank is massively too big, it's gonna be destroyed by anything from Artillery to CAS everyday as it tries to cross roads and destroys them.

[T-56 IBT (Infantry Battle Tank)]

Why do you have an MBT is you also have an Infantry support tank?

MBT is literally Main Battle Tank.

[AT-CP (All Terrain Combat Platform)]

Gonna ignore this.

[ZSU-40-1 SPAAAG]

>160KPH

No, god no.

[Landstalker AFV]

Same as with the AT-CP

[ SU-100 Heavy Strike Fighter]

Ignoring the shield generator, that 105mm howitzer will kill you.

Clappers got by because they were slow, this is a Jet.

[SU-12, Super Heavy Strategic Stealth Bomber]

Ignoring the Dura-Steel armour, this will be the most visible stealth bomber on the planet.

The engines produce insane amounts of heat and it's big enough that it's going to be almost impossible to actually [B]not[/B] reflect radar.

It also doesn't carry a almost a million pounds of weight, Jesus Christ.

[MA-111 Heavy Transport Helicopter.]

>Carry around 1,000 FBPM Personnel

>Max Speed of 290 KPH

[Svoboda(Freedom) Class battleship]

It's a battleship.

This is a problem.

[Sevastopol class Battlship]

It's a battleship.

This is a large problem.

[Gorshkov Class Titan]

?

Dreadnought?

This is the largest problem I have ever seen.

Lastly, most of your APCs are a little too big and will get your troops killed.

Conclusion? Holy Christ I underestimated the situation yesterday when I said it was only slight realism and standardization problems.

Lots of PMT on there (tanks that don't show up on thermal?). If there's a thing you know will gain lots of disbelief from the general community, give a source of how it's usedul and been shown to be useful in today's military and realistically mass-produced.

Oelesa wrote:Over due, yes. A motion to suspend the general election in the HoD, yes.

I don't like this motion. It has flaws. It prolongs the government's term but doesn't say how long in total. Two terms ? Three terms ? Or just one and a half ?

And it says the government shall be in charge as Caretaker until a new constitution is voted on. So if we don't agree on a new consitution soon there will be have an eternal government.

That's why I don't like this motion. It's flawed. And it leaves room for quite some interpretation.

The Royal Republic Of Kumania

Development within the Supreme court:

I've decided to appoint [nation=short]Kalaron[/nation] as a fourth Supreme Court member, as well as appoint [nation=short]Magnatronia[/nation] to replace [nation=short]Humpheria Major[/nation], who has been around but mostly un active.

The court will now look like this

Chief Justice - Oelesa

Supreme Court members

Oelesa

Kalaron

Unfallious

Magnatronia

More to be developed later, but with the movement for a new Constitution, it'll be slight changes.

Wait, seriously?...that kinda hurts Peng. It's not that I have no respect for the law, I voted for this bill because I do. If we are to have a stable and functioning government, we should be working to make sure things don't get messy. Having an election now, and then election right after a new constitution is passed seems like a good way to define messy.

Sorry you see me that way though.

It's messy. But I'm not against that motion in total. I'm concerned about the wording because it leaves room for interpretation.

I think you take your job serious. But your reply didn't appear to me to be serious. Sorry if I hurt you.

I never should mentioned those concerns. I will shut my damn mouth now.
