GM said it was OK to post news article - Andreas, if I got anything wrong please feel free to correct

News Article - 'Cracks in the Crystal Palace'

Tensions amongst Crystal Palace members have spilled over and are currently threatening to tear apart the international coalition which currently operates the worlds largest space program.

Inside sources have said that arguments began when Russian and German officials questioned each others use of station facilities. Russian representatives have objected to German space ships using the terminals to resupply without recompense to Russia for resources being used for this purpose which Russia believes it owns.

In response Germany and the UK have both retorted that unscheduled launches to install Russian orbital facilities including an outpost module have disrupted work and highlight what one leaked UK report calls 'a complete inability to co-operate with other members as equals or communicate their intentions without insulting or condescending'

The Liberty Terminal partners have also become involved - offering to either mediate or provide assistance to Germany in the maintenance of its ships when the Liberty Terminal is brought fully online.

Unnamed Russian sources have claimed the offer from the Liberty partners is a ploy to ensure the current dispute continues to stymie the Russian space program as it has been stated that if a compromise cannot be found the two stations will be off-lined until an agreement can be reached.

Any news about David?

Yes, he was away from his normal computer and needed a bit more time and assistance. He got it, but he didn´t say how much... But things are moving along. We will keep you posted.
/Andreas

In reply to Referee (msg # 6):

Glad to hear he's well, even if this delays the turn resolution

All turns are in. We are getting on with things.

Sorry about the delay, I have come to the conclusion that we really have no choice but to incorporate the Heaven&Earth software, it has an elegant, if ancient, simplicity which we need to handle so much data, but that also meant a huge number of adjustments to the rules. Anyways, I have been pushing hard on creating a draft, which is now in Andrea's hands for his review before I make it available for everyone else to see.

The Management will now be processing your Turn orders, this may take a while, so in the mean time below is a taste to get you started. Please continue on all the things which I had earlier asked you to hold. I will continue to post new articles as events warrant.

The Shah returns! Teheran, Iran: Reza Pahlavi, the son of the last Shah of Iran has spent his life in exile in Paris uniting the Iranian dissident ex-patriates. Now in 2036 he returns in triumph to Iran some nearly 60 years after his father was deposed. With the backing of Iran national council (INC) and the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), he has been welcomed by Nationalists and moderates alike as some remember the time of the Shah as economically prosperous. Mr Pahlavi was being coy about reclaiming the throne as king, saying: “That is not what matters now. Foremost we must replace the Islamic republic with a strong nation and a strong leader against the forces that seek to destroy Persian greatness.”

Russia and China Sign 25year+ Oil Deal: Beijing and Moscow: China signs new gas and oil deal with Russia. Over the course of the next 30 years the amount of oil from Russia into China will quadruple its current amount to slake China’s desperate need. This makes the previous deal struck between China and Russia back in 2015 look like just a testing of the waters.  Russian border towns have become near-lawless boom towns as Russian oil and natural gas flow out while Chinese cash and Chinese refugees flow in.

Translated excerpt of post by South Korean user BoxeR: i-band streaming site ‘Twitch’: Duuude, got Quested to break into a Doosansucky mainframe last night, it was managing some hush-hush prototype thing called ‘Project Aequorea’ Totally pwned their security!!!! Level 2 turned out to be taking over automated construction boats and maneuvering them to block security from shooting at more North Korean navy ships filled with refs trying to defect. Pwnd that level too! ****1/2 out of 5. Give me all your Vespene you Zerglings, BoxeR rules!

German Minister Criticizes Anti-Interventionists: Berlin, Germany: “These dummkofs drive over here in their petrol fueled cars, bellies full of warm food, to protest that we don’t deserve the oil that our boys died to defend. German units will continue taking up positions in the Kurdistan/IC oil fields, securing them against bandits, I do not care that anyone tries to portray this as some sort of theft”. Some of the demonstration ended in violence, German Feldjäger (Military Police) units have joined the German Police to maintain order. German Internal Affairs Minister has stated that this situation may last, depending on how long takes the situation to calm down.

In reply to Combat Cycle Ref (msg # 9):

For nearly a century, the Glorious People's Republic of Korea has led the world in wealth, technological prowess, honor, food production, peace, war, electricity, harmony, and freedom.  Our lead in all these areas continues to expand unabated, leading to our ascension to a nigh-invulnerable higher plane of existence.  All of this would be impossible without the grand and glorious leadership of Kim Jong Un, Guardian of Korea, Defender of the People, Supreme Ruler of all that is Good on Earth, Soverign of all that the Light Touches.

Other, lesser, nations continue to be jealous of our radical success in all fields.  Our glorious national policy of *juche* cannot be defeated!  Except by the nefarious influence of hostile foreign capitalist pig-dogs!  The evil influence of this international gang of petty thugs and childish imperialists corrupts the whole world.  The loathsome fear of the dirty and depraved capitalists leads them to sabotage our factories and farms.  But we have the last laugh!  We are too strong to be hurt by their sinister sabotage!  Nothing can hurt Best Korea as long as we are protected under the gentle hand of Kim! Jong! Un!

However!  The patience of our infinitely patient Leader grows thin.  The unconscionable evils perpetrated against the loyal people of Korea by sinister Western overlords must cease!  These Western devils will pay reparations for their heinous acts, in the amount of US$750 billion, or they shall face the unstoppable might of Korea!

Our nuclear arsenal is unstoppable.  We have three nuclear bombs for every person on earth.  Each tiny, dirty shack the evil Americans are forced to live in by their even more evil government is targeted by two dozen high-yield hydrogen bombs.  We have asteroids aimed at every imperialist-capitalist military base on earth.

If we are not paid US$750 billion the world will receive a swift and judicious punishment, as from God Himself (who is just an invention of capitalist pig-dogs), meted out by the fair and handsome Kim Jong Un.  We, the ever faithful people of the People's Republic of Korea, will be saved in the anti-matter powered starship which Kim Jong Un designed and built himself.

All glory to Kim Jong Un!  All glory to Korea!  All glory to juche!

In reply to North Korea (msg # 10):

From Japan to North Korea:
Dear North Korea, Japan is willing to assist you in the transistion to a modern society. If you show a bit more restraint, Japan will continue the succesful oilcooperation and joint workprogram and will send SUs and money. The current path is however not the way.

Due to this blatant threat of nuclear assault all North Korea vehicles and persons are barred from entering Japan and Japanese waters in order to diminish the risk of a nuclear attack. Persons or vehicles trying to enter will be warned, searched, detained or ultimately stopped with lethal force. Japan is deploying military and civilian resources to this operation, most notably our 3 ABMs. EDIT: Most notably absent will the Japanese Helicopter carrier groups be, because due to budget constraints they have not been equipped with new helicopters and will not be so equipped for another 5-10 years...

In reply to North Korea (msg # 10):

South Korea has raised its military alert levels and is putting plans in place to evacuate Seoul.

South Korea calls upon its PROTO allies to also step up military alertness, and to condemn the North Korean threats and clearly restate their commitment to the mutual defense of Members.

South Korea closes its borders and the shared industrial Zone is again on hold.

South Korea also offers to co-ordinate any defensive actions with Japan and to work together with Japan to contain any conventional threat from North Korea (if Japan wants to discuss this further I would suggest a private conversation)

Excuse me, which is the quarentaine zone?

In reply to Nigeria (msg # 13):

>Excuse me, which is the quarentaine zone?
If it was intended to represent a specific, game-able area then it would have said so.

Excerpt from IC School Textbook Seized At Tewksberry Private Middle School.
There are 4 IEDs on a table, and each IED is a different color (red, green, blue, and yellow). Two IEDs are selected at random from the table for use in an operation
a) Is the order of the IEDs, or the order of their colors, important in how many Crusaders they kill?
b) Use a tree diagram to find the number of unique color combinations for the two IEDs.
c) Use combination notation to find the number of unique color combinations.

Yeon Deung Ho Festival of Gangdong-Gu: The Lotus Lantern Festival is an annual celebration of Buddha’s birth. Preceding the festival, over 100,000 brightly colored lanterns are hung about the streets of Gangdong-Gu symbolizing offerings of light and compassion. After the lighting of the giant Jangeumdang, the lantern representative of Buddha, the festivities begin with activities such as teaching visitors to make their own rosaries or lanterns, or dances by host monks in bright robes. The festivities culminate in the Daedong Celebration, a night of singing and dancing amidst a shower of pink lotus petals. -From link node of Yeon Deung Ho festival, which had been canceled this year amid war fears and the festival grounds used as an evacuation centre for civilians from Seoul. Civilian casualties from WMDs in this location estimated to be 45 000.

Mil Rank 3, Mil tech 6.4, Sum Basic Strength: 301, WMDs used so strength becomes 353, Final Combat Strength: 14458

Odds are 14479/14458=1.01 which becomes 1:1 odds, shifted { 2(3-2)= +2 for difference in military rank, +0 for WMD usage by both sides, -1 shift for a hasty attack, -2 for attack with EMP interference and loss of satellite networks adding to confusion} final odds 1:1.5

12:56, Today: Combat Cycle Ref rolled 9 using 1d10.  Pink Elephant Epsilon Decrypt.

Results: 20%/5 = 4% permanent to loss Attacker, 40%/5=8% permanent loss to defender,

0.04 X 216 available hits = 8 hits Chinese
0.08 X 301 available hits = 24 hits North Korea


GM chooses:
Chinese units Destroyed
1 Exp Armor Brigade
1 Experienced Multi-role plane Squadrons

North Korean units Destroyed
1 experienced mechanized infantry brigades (unit#030)
2 experienced infantry (amphibious ability, unit#051-052)
4 green infantry brigades (unit#126-129)
1 Green SAM brigades (unit#204)
8 reserve infantry brigades (unit#397-404)
2 green Patrol squadron (unit#455-456)
1 green Multi role planes squadron (Mig-21 etc, unit#523)

Again, for my better understanding of the rules (maybe I'm a Little dumb), a question:



Dice rolls:

I guess the third one (the one at 19:56, a 7 on 1d10) is the combat roll, as the result (100/20) matches to it. So, what do the first two rolls (the 1 on 1d10 rolled at 19:04 and the 13 on 3d6 rolled at 19:58) mean?

I guess the second one is for thefumble result (something I don't find in the rules, but that I understand, and whose reult I guess we will see in as the turn procedes), but what does the first one mean, not being a combat roll?

In reply to Combat Cycle Ref (msg # 15):

Quick check on some Info (if you can tell us or if it needs to be info available only for individual countries can you PM it?)

• Which country targeted where with Nukes (were the WMD use only against military targets or civilian targets? What civilian casualties are we looking at/cities being targeted)
• Did Chinese Nukes hit any targets within S Korea
• Who or what is Pink Elephant? Or is the event called that not the group decrypting?

One more question:

If the sum of base stregth is 84, and TL is 7.8, Final combat strength whould'n be 5110.56 (84*7.8²)? Or there are some other modifiers?

See that, if so, numbers would be:

Odds are 5110/25229=.2025, which becomes 1:5 odds, shifted { 2 to Right for WMD usage by attacker, 1 to Right for units are in the middle of combat and out in the open } final odds 1:2.

With a result of 7 on 1d10, result would be 60/5_12% losses on attacker and 20/5=4% loses on defender. As attacker losses are ignored, the result (IMHO luckly) remains exaclty the same.
