Mogar Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Since evidently, it only counts for nukes that you have, this is an unrealistic concept for anyone during a war, as if you have nukes, you will be launching them, I wish to correct this by changing it to your nuclear capabilities, not merely your nukes on hand, discuss.

Captain Enema Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 I'd be fine with this being a rule. Too late for you now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hereno Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 wouldn't the nuke count fall under the stat saving thing that we're voting on anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Enema Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 It would, but it would also be the same as the troop count and the aircraft rules. You don't have to pay bills on 25 nukes, you just have to have the potential for them with the right wonders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californian Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 It doesn't matter too much for me, although I think the fact that the nuke conversion allows you to exceed standard caps on navy, etc. makes it different than other things we currently do this for. Therefore I think it is fair to consider needing the actual nukes if you're going to have an advantage over what is considered the standard (40 points), but I really don't mind either way.

Captain Enema Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 True, I have a vested interest in mogar's proposal given my average nation size being about 15,000 at the best of times. Not having to buy or pay bills on nukes would greatly benefit me in game. such is life though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yerushalayim Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 I think that nukes fall under the stat saving rule. I don't see a reason why they wouldn't be considered a stat. They're just a number attached to your nation, after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysergide Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 I think rewording it to say maximum nuclear weapons that the nation can build which is easily detected by checking to see if they have a MP and a HNMS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Enema Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 After thinking about this for a bit, I tend to think Ty is correct. If you want to substitute nukes for something, you should be substituting nukes you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysergide Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 The purchasing of nuclear weapons is minute in comparison to actually making your nation nuclear in game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Vortex Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) I agree with Lyser on this. Requiring the nukes be on hand is a petty penalty to those who just happen to be at war IG. That said I also concur with the OP. Just saying you have nuke points equal to your maximum possible nukes at all times also spares the need for stat saving.

Hereno Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) what if we compromise?20/25 of our nuke points will come from just having the wondersand the other half will come from the actual nukes themselvesin peace time, we get a 40/50 point bonus to our navies, whereas we have a bare minimum of 20/25 even if at warthis both elevates the nuke-having nations over the non-nuke-having nations AND preserves the elevation of neutrals over the rest of the RP based on their nation sizes Edited January 5, 2015 by Hereno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Vortex Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Even better. What if we say neutrals can prove that they can have the wonders and then just give anyone who may potentially have the wonders or has them now the 25 points. If the problem is some neutrals just don't keep the wonders we know what the wonder requirements are and can work off "could they possess them?" Could be as simple as keeping a screenie of tech and infra levels in a factbook. Edited January 5, 2015 by Maelstrom Vortex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yerushalayim Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I'm not in favour of anything about "potential" stats. I have the potential to have almost every wonder in the game, if I blew my WC down to zero. Lol. We have a mechanism in place for preserving stats, which is the stat saving rule. Apply it to nukes the same as any other stat. Bam. Problem solved. No one's penalized for war. No one needs to yap about potential to buy wonders, or potential nukes, or compromises. We follow the rules. :P We already have the mechanic in place, no need for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogar Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Except for the fact I'm being penalized for being at war, unless you're suggesting I should not nuke my opponents for the next week while they're trying to spy away my nukes, simply to regain the statistics I originally had for my navy.

Explain to me how allowing nukes to be saved, via stat saving, is penalizing you for being at war? You take a screenshot of the nukes you have, post them for the GMs, and happily nuke away, following normal stat saving rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Vortex Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Mael's going into meltdown rabble rousing mode, we'll see him posting change.org petitions soon enough to demand his PIXEL RIGHTS. Pixel rights? I'm not the one operating on a mostly fabricated state. If you didn't care so much about pixels why not play your actual nation? You're the one walking on crutches here. Let me be clear on this. If I cared about pixels I wouldn't tolerate any limitation, wouldn't be willing to compromise, but I do. You are the one operating on a propped up nation while ALSO capping me. That's not being a dick either, that's stating things how they are. I am merely trying to loosen those restraints so I can do more and make things more interesting for everyone. Didn't help there was a gm miscommunication that made me feel even restrained even more than I actually apparently am. I sacrifice a lot more of my cn nation to play in this rp than you ever will because yours runs on life support. Life support I don't mind you having because I do want the rp to be kind of fair to all for the sake of a story. But when you start throwing pixel hugging in my face, I will make sure to point out your love of false pixels all the same. In summary, you have the least of rights to level such an accusation. You can rush off to change.org you socialist liberal, I don't need them. I play what I have, feeble or great, and that's a trait about myself I will perpetually be proud of. My character will always fit my nation. Edited January 5, 2015 by Maelstrom Vortex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So again, in order to have the full 25, I would have to not nuke anyone for the next week, to gain the full statistics I would normally have if I were not at war, or in peace mode.

Maelstrom Vortex Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) You know, why don't we just straight up give everyone 25 more naval points and just forget nukes exist as measurement? Speaking as one of the few people who this might genuinely mean something for, I don't mind everyone having the points. This world's navies are malnourished as it is.

Maelstrom Vortex Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 This is definitely unfair to war fighters. The RP shouldn't be about what happens IG, stats may be based off it somewhat, but the ig wars shouldn't affect rp wars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yerushalayim Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Enlighten me, how is anyone being punished? There was no rule for stat saving, therefore no stats were saved. A rule for stat saving was passed, and now allows for stat saving. Are you not being allowed to save your stats? Are we refusing to accept your saved stats? Are we diminishing you from your saved stats? Of course not. We're holding you to your saved stats. And somehow this is punishment, because we're holding you to the rules, instead of allowing you to circumvent them because you want more stuff. As for you Mael, my position on basing our RP nations on CN is already clear: I don't support it. The rules, however, make it equally clear that we do, indeed, go off of the stats a person has (or has saved with the GMs in a time of war, now that stat saving is allowed). It's not my place to change that. If you think we shouldn't base the RP on CN stats, start a thread to discuss it. I'll give the motion my backing.
