Sargun II Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Enforcing rules via IC consequences is a dumb idea. With rare exception, people will generally not do the long term RP needed to sufficiently punish someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm saying is that if people do not want weapons in space, the limitation should be suggested IC, not OOC. Similar to bans on certain weapons of mass destruction in RL.

king of cochin Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 A certain amount of regulation has always been necessary to prevent things going out of control, thus the ban on mechs, Space weapons etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lestari Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 [quote name='KingChris' timestamp='1295580434' post='2587653'] "Welcome to the International Broadcasting Radio Station of the Republic of Ontario. And now, please tune in for the President's State of the Republic Speech." "Good evening, my fellow On-" Listeners would then hear static, followed by an extremely high pitched voice that sounded like the result of a genetic experiment gone wrong. "Ontario shall burn to the ground. The awful tyranny that overran Disparu out of Ontario had ended. 20 bombs were dropped on the location of the President's speech, effectively killing all government members that could take over the country in such an accident. Freedom for the native Ontarians!!! "Ok, now I honestly don't know what to do. I guess that since I hijacked the government's access to all communications, I'm in charge now...Bah, @#$% it. Those Imperialist swine down in New York can take this place, I guess. I'm gonna go and dive down Niagara Falls. See all you suckers later. Ayayayayayayaya!!!!" Meanwhile, soldiers stationed all across the country simultaneously facepalmed in shock. They would not notice any foreign armies marching in. OOC: Re-roll [/quote] Not anymore, according to you.

Fizzydog Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Well that wasn't very entertaining Chris. You could do better. Now, I have a question: in CNRP, has the AIDs pandemic been cured yet? Or is it open to research? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynneth Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 [quote name='Sargun' timestamp='1295768868' post='2593555'] I think Lynneth mentioned in passing somewhere that he cured AIDS, though I don't believe him [/quote] My shenanigans (medicine and genetics) did a lot of stuffs. Included in this was the capability of curing several strains of AIDS (by no means all) and the capability of removing practically all cancer from a person's system [b]and[/b] making them more resistant to it, effectively defeating it. However, the secret to this was never shared with other nations, but kept relatively secret. Treatment was also expensive as $%&@. At the moment I'm not RPing that because I a) don't feel like it and b) the appropriate data-'vault' brought in one of the lolrefugee ships back then hasn't been opened yet.
