Feh, I'll just edit it in tomorrowBeowulf wrote:Astronauts didn't go in adult diapers. Those are only for when waiting for lift-off. In space they pooped into plastic baggies that were glued onto their ass (single use baggies, so they had to glue a new one onto their ass everytime they needed to go, then rip it off when they were done). Pissing was done through a tube that evacuated to space (fairly directly, as I recall).
The Glorious Socialist Space Toilet is still vastly superior to those solutions

By the way, I'm kinda relying on you to move the Kamila thing forward right now. I had thought about some random thing with me musing and then moving on to breakfast with a "How did it go?" setup but I couldn't make it sound not stupid.

Re: SD.Net World Redux Comment Thread V
PeZook, how do you want to DominionHawk assembly to go down? The first few assembled in the OD with a plant in Pezookia(using assembly kits manufactured in the OD)?
I am also assuming there will be some Pezookia-specific electronics(specifically, the communications suite).

There, I think just about everyone in the world is a member of BIOCON, so just about everyone now knows of what's been going on.

By the way, did you announce who won that tender for convention center in Arabiapolis already? Because I don't remember seeing that...

Re: SD.Net World Redux Comment Thread V
Not quite. I planned to do an announcement requiring that those who wish to commit to the project to showcase some designs. Just rip off some nice design off the internet and show it off.SiegeTank wrote:There, I think just about everyone in the world is a member of BIOCON, so just about everyone now knows of what's been going on.
PS: Fingolfin, did you announce who won that tender for convention center in Arabiapolis already? Because I don't remember seeing that...
Right now, it's auditing the finances of any competitor to ensure they don't go bankrupt midway through the project (and leave us to clean up the mess).
If you want to, you can start showcasing a model of the final product so as to win some degree of public support.

Sorry dude, but we accidently nuked the USSR. It was very tragic and people were quite upset for at least two days game-time.DarthShady wrote:Well I see you guys are having fun.

Accidents happen. We would've paid reparations but there was nobody alive to pay them to, alas. A real shame, we're very sorry.
On a serious note, I set up for moar dramas plz by having Rufus Shinra wonder if it'd even be a good idea to get back together with Kamila, even if she decides that's the way to go.
I wonder who'll make that decision, me or PeZook?

OOB Updated, military portion:
IDB (Integrated Defense Battery) status upgraded to "deployed" with more being planned.
Automated units being fielded on Experimental basis, testing inter-operability with manned units. Drone fighter wings and automated Army brigades for testing armor, engineering, and convoy-escort vehicles in real-world environments.
EDIT:
OOB Updated, civic portion:
Included the addition of the automated air & land forces; names of kids (the Royal Heirs).

Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!
If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!
Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

Ok, you've made me change my answer.PeZook wrote:How about if I say "please"?
Fuck no.
On a serious note, maybe we should do one of those "co-written by" things for the Rufus and Kamila chat. Mostly because talking to "myself" would be rather lame. Plus it keeps things more realistic in a sense, since I won't already 'know' what Kamila's responses will be and such.
As to the decision, maybe a diceroll or something. Like I don't know, a roll for if she embraces her feelings. Another for if she actually tells me. Yet another on whether she'd act on said feelings. And finally, assuming the others work, for whether she leaves her husband and we get "Romance! Drama! Scandal!"
Hey, if she becomes my wife (off chance) does that mean she'd have to give up working for you? I'd think yes but it's your kingdom, not mine.
