  1. Great post, good to read something interesting in the sea of boring crap. It's also enlightening to see a realistic take on what's going on, beyond all the slanted/biased arguing going on in OWF right now. I also enjoyed the paragraph you typed about "Mike Miller" HAWWWWWW..........

    good stuff, keep it coming, dawg.

    d'oh. I'll go back and change it. There's a comic artist called Mike Miller and I was getting confused.

  2. How is it impressive again?

    Just avoid any global wars that are actually a threat to your nation, have soft targets, and click "create my nation," about six years ago. Assuming you aren't deleted or run into any other trouble, it's a matter of game mechanics more than skill.

    There should be a way to scale damage at lower NS's because this nonsense where only the two people nuking eachother with an ungodly amount of tech being considered " a serious war," is boring.

    If you want to set up a top 10 list where that happens, please don't feel like I'm in any way stopping or discouraging you. I'm just trying to draw slightly hyperbolic narratives out of fairly dull statistics, I'm entirely happy for you to ignore it if you want.

    (also, Commander Bean is less than five years old and has total war casualties close to four million. Not really the mark of someone avoiding wars)

  3. Plus i just relized this, but your title should not include earth, because this is Bob, not earth. So your title should have read "The Chorched Bob Top 10: The Most destructive wars in the world"

    "scorched earth" refers not to the planet but to the fertile ground. Per Wikipedia "A scorched earth policy is a military strategy which involves destroying anything that might be useful to the enemy while advancing through or withdrawing from an area. It is a military strategy where all of the assets that are used or can be used by the enemy are targeted, such as food sources, transportation, communications, industrial resources, and even the people in the area."

    It derives from ancient military tactics that involved burning everything to the ground so your enemy could not regroup.

    Also, as I refer to the game as a game several times, it's fairly clear which side of the OOC/IC line I'm on.

  4. I think you're misinterpreting my conclusions. How the game is played constantly changes based on how alliances decide they want it to change. Politics is consensus. I gave a pretty clear example of that with the shift from white peace only to surrenders being acceptable.

    My argument is that Equilibrium have demonstrated how they want to play the game by their actions, and it's remarkably similar to how it was played before. It's not that they couldn't play another way, it's that they aren't playing another way.

  5. I have a question for you:

    Jean is shorter than Brutus but taller than Imhotep. Imhotep is taller than Jean, but shorter than Lord Scotland. Lord Scotland is twice the height of Jean and Brutus combined but only one-tenth of the height of Millsy. Millsy is at a constant height of x − y. If Jean stands exactly one nautical mile away from Lord Scotland, how tall is Imhotep?
