Is it close enough to the apocalypse that I'm allowed to eat Shuka yet? *The dragon flosses an eats a mint in case the answer is yes.* -
A massive, 60 foot long dragon in powered armor lands at the border of the Congo. "I'm here to talk to your leaders about trade." It rumbled to the guards at the border outpost.

We have re-built our colony! The country has flourished and with the abundance brought forth by our many skilled workers we have greatly improved upon our infrastructure! A great day for Dragonisia!

Looks like you need a better ablator on some of your war-head designs.. but not bad. But what will you do when our dragon robots attack from space? (It lands on its legs) Ignore the fluffy frazzled human, it's a pirate broadcaster who thinks it's me. (It's totally me on one of my late night episodes).

*Kills the test missile with death-ray SDI*.

Try to launch a missile at one of my lasers and see how well it stands.. *chortles*. I've had some none-heretical wonders. It's just we have escaped normal means. *taps jaw* You must when you're expecting to travel to three other nearby star systems soon. (I need a better processor.. lol. It's starting to struggle to handle the simulation.)

I'm not the only one using this witchcraft.. *chortle* https://www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/history/pastprojects/Beam/index.html Dragonisia just is so high tech we perfected it. *grin* Time to learn some physics... https://powerlighttech.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_propulsion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-based_solar_power And personally.. my favorite lecture on why none of this is as easy as it looks: Not witch craft.. just.. .. laser cannons.

Nope, none of this is borrowed. I even make my spacecraft available on the open market. Feel free to look through DASA's showroom and see if you'd like to order any... https://kerbalx.com/Maelstrom_Vortex

Already done that.. with a cruise-missile re-entry stage. Maybe I should be working on an interceptor instead though, kind of like that time I protected Bob from a planet killing asteroid! As for duna... You should try flying on it powered by a tight beam Infared Laser.
-
As a side note.. I can't help but wonder how many Brigadoon's will show up on Bob now that we've confirmed they exist?!
-
Yes, but do you have a rainbow space station with modular lattice super structure?
-
Nope, but good that he's back! It's interesting because you never know quite who will return from the void these days. Eh well, Pax Pacifica was fun while it lasted! Any excuse for a party..
-
Credits on your strategic thinkery.

Hadn't bought one in quite some time.. given the last remaining significant threat to me has sort of vanished from the face of the planet, I figured now'd be a good time to return to the moon. *nods*

Enough to get you moon high.

DNN, Dragonisia's Premier News Network Dragonisian news came on its usual broadcast channel with a special report... "In celebration of Pacifican ascension into the top rungs of international influence, Dragonisia has elected to return to the moon. In a secret launch, DASA was given the go-ahead this morning setting off a global panic of a thermonuclear war between itself and some of the other powers.. something something about Maelstrom having finally achieved his dream of being at the top of the world and now going out with a bang were soon shot down with the announcement that it was actually simply a launch of the initial colony equipment. The base has been established and is operational as of the time of this announcement so as to ensure propagandist success as we would not want to talk about it if we failed miserably.. we'd rather stick to some glum corner of the room." Maelstrom, who currently serves as planetary Governor of Bob rather than Emperor, given that Snowflash Vortex, his son recently inherited the Multi-Dimensional, Multi-Universal, Trans-Temporal Empire's throne.. announced that additional changes would be coming soon. "I have now my son to think about so spontaneous self-destruction is no longer an inherent risk to the planet. I will not be going rogue any time soon.. I think.. so the rest of you should calm yourselves down. We just like space.. a lot.. completely normal for beings capable of flight naturally to want to go up even higher. We've been to mars, but we're not sure Bob will even be around for the completion of a Mars mission so we're sticking with the moon in case we have to do an emergency evacuation of the planet. After all, global warming and nuclear winter are really baring down hard on this old world, and you never know when quantum reality might blink and the thing simply case to exist." The blue scaled broadcaster continued. "Some of you may wonder how dragons even get into space.. the answer is a very large cargo bay and more boosters than even the gods would dare fit on a single spacecraft." "There you have it folks.. per the Emperor Emeritus, there is no longer a threat of Dragon roguery, we're just returning to the moon; quantum mechanics poses the greater existential threat. That's all from DNN for now, have a nice day."

I forget who made the campfire at the end of Bob analogy, but I fully intend to be there.

Been that way for a while now.

Sorta nice think to wake up to eh?

This isn't a mere case of protection from harm.. this is a case where mass investment was performed by players on each other, not mere self-development. I agree if it were just a case of protection from personal loss by conventional acts of war or interaction within the world, it'd be absurd, but this ignores the fact that people were intentionally sacrificing their nations and funds to develop others. We can't control who leaves or when they have to leave or how they leave or who dies. I again state that the only reason others haven't benefit.. is they never went through the required motions or believed it possible to ask, and that kept them in the box their perceptions created for them. Case and Point, me defecting on Pacifica is different from a factor outside of this world removing me from it permanently, one is actual political fallout and damage, the other is not of this world.. and the value they have invested in me as a weapon of war to just outright lose would be phenomenal. If I wanted to leave the world for some reason I'd be asking for ways of migrating that back to those who helped me as well. You are correct, the questions where rhetorical, meant for introspection for anyone who held the belief that the moderation team is truly "on the take" or rigged.

Don't be so certain. I do not attest that my own works are in any ways literary masterpieces. After all, you can't much respond to garbage but with more and a landfill. As for the landing operations. If you know someone is on the way out of this world and you helped build their nation, donated to them, and they agree to be raided to recuperate that investment and you are not in the middle of a war so that slot filling is not an issue, why should this even be an issue? Oh wait, it's not. The only reason it's an issue at all is because it meant someone in the opposition was put at a disadvantage (a completely fair one), any rational and objective third party would understand that this is basic and fair asset recapture, but hey.. .. I did say something about morality on this forum. Again, I suspect the people who were refused in the past either were attempting to legitimately abuse the system and did not have the consent of a player leaving the game or simply didn't do the leg/paper work to show their desires legitimate. I refuse to discuss specific moderation activity and decisions, but I know that they have access to a lot more information about where such assets came from than the leaders of our nations, if you elect not to trust them or believe they have stopped being effective at all the question then becomes... Why are you still here? And I do not say that to encourage anyone to leave.. it is a genuine question. If you believe that this world is that far gone, what's the point? There are other worlds you could flee to that Pacifica is also for the most part dominating and even some where we aren't!

Psychoanalysis: +1 Score: 4 It might be escapism.. cept.. everyone knows I'm a dragon and have been since I appeared int his world. You haven't proven no on else is or was allowed to do the same thing. Therefore you have proven no cheating. Cite a case example where someone attempted the same thing and formally posted a request to them.
-
Sorry.. I'm suddenly blind to the data of the monitoring stations. Must have been a fluke. Not like our operatives had any involvement in its failure anyway....
-
Heretic, how dare you mention the God Emperor in the same post as me.. go flagellate yourself as punishment, 20 lashings.. no less.

Phew... I was worried it might be at the levels of that recent failed Russian NERVA test.
