Wall Threat Check thread
Ok, as you all know, we live behind a giant Wall that protects us from the threats beyond!
Beyond the wall, there's dangers such as Titans (AoT), Kaiju (Pacific Rim), Bears (Yuri Kumi Arashi), and White Walkers (GoT)!
What other threats should we be concerned about beyond the Wall?
Also, what is the status of the wall's defenses? We doing ok?

The Wall has failed, we are being swamped.

So I stare wistfully at the Lightning for a couple of minutes. Two missiles, sharply raked razor-thin wings, a huge, pregnant belly full of fuel, and the two screamingly powerful engines that once rammed it from a cold start to a thousand miles per hour in under a minute. Life would be so much easier if our adverseries could be dealt with by supersonic death on wings - but alas, Human resources aren't so easily defeated.

Humans. They've breached the wall, but have only established three long-lasting beachheads a bare few hundred kilometers outside the wall, and only a dozen or so humans occupy any of them at any one time. No real threat.
Re: Wall Threat Check thread
The problem, of course, is that once they've breached the wall conclusively there won't be anything to stop them. Not even air.

Nomads, dislanded tribes and other wanderers that are too uncivilized (*cough* poor *cough*) to give you much and too worldly to be easily turned to slaves. You certainly don't want these troublemakers into your walled city, now do you? [/smuglord]

Look China built a wall two thousand years ago and I do not see many Mexicans in China.
Walls are a proven strategy vs. Mexican immigrants.

Re: Wall Threat Check thread
I don't know - approximately 100% of the Mexican population is actually inside the Great Wall. Globes are funny that way.

Re: Wall Threat Check thread
The bureaucracy forcing us to build the wall instead of god help us, at least a damn mech, to kill those threats, seems like the main threat. I foresee an armada of advancing cubicles.

Truly, the Grand Grockal Horde cannot be stymied by mere walls. I fear we will have to relieve them of their funds. That or divert the M5 to Milton Keynes. Its only fair.Darth Nostril wrote:Tourists.
