Zarfef Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) This is an OOC thread for East Africa. Keep all OOC here or SpacingOutMan will exblope! OOC: Firestorm, you're ignoring my scout troops attacking your front lines in the Nation of Nod, I feel hurt! Nah, but do consider 'em and try to play out how it works by ear. Also, this is the place for all OOC in that thread, as much as things have really taken off, don't consider the battle done by any stretch. You may be winning the war in the northern section of the Aether Empire, but you have not yet won the war. It also doesn't affect things now because I already agreed to it... But I had a question for the DE. If you can wipe out tons of defense platforms and find them rapidly like you have, why was my static defense worse then a mobile one? Couldn't you have easily, no more easily, found a giant submarine floating with a region height shift vastly above the original ocean (as in a giant peak that looked like a long metal tube). I mean, a sub is already slow, so if I did have subs there instead of actual defense units, why would they be harder to find and kill then the defense units. (Also, wouldn't RADAR used by satellites to make such measurements be too large in wavelength and just scatter off the targets?) I mean, if what you are arguing is correct, it would seem that sub warfare would be useless as the entire advantage of subs (their stealth) is the same advantage of my system and you seemed to all out consider it a null point. Subs move, that about all they have as an advantage, and they are basically standing still compared to what you shot at my units (anti-sub cruise missiles). So in the future, if I upgraded to subs with say a Tech level 1500 nation, would you just be able to cruise missile those into extinction in the same manner and I other people's entire sub fleets, their stealth meaning nothing? Just some thoughts. Edited July 1, 2009 by Zarfef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maelstrom Vortex Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) ooc: This thread may need to be moved! But otherwise, Zarfef great work on the combat so far.. technical debates aside you RP war wonderfully even if you are losing which matters not where quality is concerned.

Firestorm Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 OOC: Firestorm, you're ignoring my scout troops attacking your front lines in the Nation of Nod, I feel hurt! I didn't ignore them so much as miss them entirely. Take the time to break your posts up into blocks that are directed at specific people for specific actions. That way it is easier to keep track of what you are doing. Were they advancing or defending? Either way my attack was spearheaded by scout cars and mechanized infantry who moved forward to identify points of resistance. Once identified the points were to be hit by either helicopters or artillery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firestorm Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Well that clears up one mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtleknifewielder Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Sorry Firestorm, that attack was not personal, I hope you know...and it wasn't intended to kill anyone. Loved your response to it, though, made me gave to really think of something in case it blew up in my face... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firestorm Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 After wading through your posts (Zarfef) I determined you sent in from what I can tell two forces. One from the sea and one from what seems to be towards the western part of Somal. Either way if I'm wrong about the directions my counterattacks are directed at those two forces. I've addressed both intrusions and my responses are based upon the previous roleplay I've done with the development of my resistance cells. In the future, please be sure to put some sort of bolded text or something to signify an actual attack. It took me forever to figure out what you were talking about.

Executive Minister Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 GUys, sorry for the delay in replys...im currently trying to make sense of the war right now, and will respond... My computer fried, so it will have about two-weeks down time, during this time, I will be severely hampered in responding to this war...but I will continue to do so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpacingOutMan Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Kay, so I'm really confused about if you are posting movements or internal dialogue Zarfef... clarity would be much appreciated. Also, there is the whole drones thing etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtleknifewielder Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 From what I understand, he posts movements WITH internal dialogue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firestorm Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 And that's where my problems started as my traditional start in RP taught me dialogue is dialogue and physical actions are physical actions. In the future I simply will refuse to recognize dialogue as a physical action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtleknifewielder Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Personally, I see nothing wrong with it. Often the internal dialogue is how he tells you what his tactics are in response to your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeVentNoir Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Its horrid, and near impossible to determine what is actually happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtleknifewielder Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 it's not badly written. Just, 'horrible' in your words. Though I haven't read all the posts (as I'm not involved any more, I don;t need to know everything), I actually managed to understand the posts I did read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firestorm Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 I'm willing to accept it despite being massively confused about the sequence of events. I'm not thrilled about it as I believe it reinforces bad role play by allowing dialogue to be construed as physical movement. However, my actions were very deliberate and clearly posted so I'm more than willing to live by the consequences of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarfef Posted July 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 LOL Yeah I really need to start improving my RP style of writing. In the future I should take up the following, you guys agree? XYZ CHARACTER: (Implies spoken words) random stuff (Implies narration) :random stuff: (Implies event) :random stuff: (Implies military action) random stuff (Implies why I decided to use the strategy and think it has a rats chance in Antartica of working) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
