The Zorians released them (after converting them to the Norse faith, as evidenced by Shroomcocks' brainwashing and apparent insanity) to combat the Jihadi submariners.PeZook wrote:Shroom, dude...didn't Zorians seize that sub?
Hrm. Not really. Unless he's caught with a viking helmet, waving an axe around. But Shroomanians are silly by nature, so he's got a lot of leeway for dickeries.EDIT: Also, is good MP Moonbeam going to have trouble with his political career?
Shroomania is a multicultural and tolerant place!

I've a bunch of stuff planned for Captain Mohammad and her crew first, but after that we can do a sub duel, sure 
. Of course the mujahedeen are actually experienced and competent submariners, not nutjobs running a boat full of kids, so I'd give them a fair chance of blowing that silly u-boat straight out of the water.

Re: SD.Net World Redux Comment Thread V
That was brilliant! Oh, Miranda, you utter fucknut!
I wonder why the Zorian wanted to leave her in space to die.
That was genius! Minister Moonbeam might still keep his position, but he'll be a total joke for the fellow ministers and dudes in the House of Commons, and the House of Lords.
Man, the shame! The disgrace! The utter awesomeness! Miranda!
She should be a celebrity!

You get a normal, reasonable percentage increase in real GDP each year. Amounts to 2% or so. Just like the real world.

Re: SD.Net World Redux Comment Thread V
Ah, thanks. I'll take that into account, then. You guys mind if I randomize it a bit? It should vary by +/- 10% from the previous year. Of course, I'll adjust it every now and then based on what's going on, or if it starts spitting out ridiculous numbers like >2.5% or whatever.Beowulf wrote:You get a normal, reasonable percentage increase in real GDP each year.

Considering some of the more recent events, would anybody be interested in buying a "bomb-proof" public bus?Coiler wrote:Let's say that you'd better sell lots of arms.Ryan Thunder wrote:How can I improve my GDP, anyways?
The concept I have in mind would have mesh windows to avoid overpressure (and they would be some kind of plastic to avoid them becoming shrapnel themselves), and some metal plates between seats to minimize shrapnel spread.
The idea is to minimize potential casualties from a bus-bombing...

Re: SD.Net World Redux Comment Thread V
Ok, so some clarification from Coiler please...
Have you publically admitted to sinking the Kida or did you just talk to the shipping company and perhaps request them to keep it quiet? On the one hand you admitted it to the company, who might go public. On the other hand you're not sending the sub captain to a hearing just so it doesn't go public and become a circus. So how is that playing?
I ask because if it is not widely known, the attack on the Kida could be blamed upon (or at least suspected to be) other Jihad submarines out there...and they're not just going after Zorian shipping (or they just fucked up). So I kinda need to know how public your admission of guilt is to see about a possible response to this commerce raiding going on.
And no, SiegeTank I don't intend to sink your sub until you're ready. They'll just have to deal with more naval assets than just the Zorians around Eastern Velaria, however.

That's supposed to be NOT public knowledge, dude. And if your Ministers somehow know about it, then it stands to reason my government knows about it, otherwise we look kinda stupid.

I still don't know why the Steve Shroomwin is described as a Foxtrot, yet depicted as a Type VII U-boat. Same thing happened with Karmic Knight's Black Barracuda project, with the first prototype resembling a Type VII despite being derived from the Sturgeon class SSN.Shroom Man 777 wrote:I don't care!

And for the hell of it, let's assume the Zorians gave those nutters a nicer submarine.
As for a nicer submarine that the Zorians could give to Shroomcocks for his privateering efforts, personally I'd suggest either a Yūshio or a Kobben, in keeping with Zoria's Japanese-Norse motif.

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!
