Should probably know this but what does frw mean?

Hmmm, I am wondering what would be an interesting way to get my nation back into the fold RP-wise. Anyone have anything interesting going on IC that could involve Orsandia in a way ?

I finally made the top 3 for something in the Top 100. I feel good about myself

Is there an official geological map of the Isles? I'm especially looking for a map depicting tectonic plates/activities.

My suggestion would be to focus on news or citizens posts describing how your nation is rebuilding or treating your former rebels. What happened to Yong Jun? Are foreign troops still there? Is there a guerilla war now? Pick up where you left off and forge a path for your nation. International rp comes much easier after that.

Once you do that, you and I can discuss how our relations are and what to expect from each other

And the forums are down :(

Maybe it's because the forum don't want you to get stuck up debating in SC thread, thuz

Chill.

That it is.

Verdon has a map for you

It was a misspell of ftw.

Also I had a weird NS dream where I got banned for talking about food and sending drunk pictures of my face.

Wellsia, Almorea, and Dothrakia

I was so confused because NS was down and I couldn't even log in.

I still can be, but you should try to clear those things with the other player first.

Thuzbekistan wrote:Christ, Menna shuli that could mess some things up. Especially considering your invasion of San Javier becomes a lot more difficult

In other news, I just want to listen to Charles summer's "crime against Kansas" speech but apparantly yourube is devoid of this. Guess I'll have to read it like a barbarian

A bit more difficult but not so bad as to be impossible. It's a better spot for me and gives me a bit more room to play with. Plus the islands let me lean into the Polynesian references a bit more.

It is better. I'll need to do a new map, though. Also I'll need to update the road maps and whatnot.

I wonder if Verd has that portion of the map done.

Dormill and Stiura and Thuzbekistan

Anyone who can post the Regional Map for me I have just been added, thanks.

My quick mafs have determined that stealth bombers, while much more expensive than stealth fighters, are far more cost effective at destroying things. By my admittedly simple methodology, the cost per target destroyed could be somewhere around 2-3x less for a bomber than a fighter, not including the cost of the ordnance.

Ah yes. The complex math required to come to the conclusion that, something designed to destroy slow objects on the ground with rather simple bombs, destroys more than something that is meant to destroy very fast stuff in the air with very complex missiles.

I just have a quick question before I make my news post. Menna shuli since you no longer border me and I was going to have Rachel rely on you because you bordered me, how do I solve this?

Well, first thing: You should have asked first. You need permission to do anything regarding another person's nation. Assuming I'd support Rachel automatically is no bueno. I'm going to need specifics to figure out what is needed. TG me.

Samudera made a great one, though it’s not officially agreed canon. I also made a map of tectonic activity in Norstham, which is in my geography factbook if you’re interested.

Dropping the same ordnance on the same target. The methodology assumed the same combat radius (about as far as from me to you, as it happens), to strike a target, each of which required four GBU-32 JDAMs to destroy. The bomber could carry enough bombs to destroy up to five targets, at a flight hour cost of about $120,000, for a 27.5 hour mission, that works out to $660,000 in flight hour costs per target destroyed. The price of the weapon is not included. Meanwhile, it would take 2 F-22 equivalent fighters, each carrying 2 GBU-32 bombs internally, to destroy one target. The flight hour cost of the F-22 equivalent was assumed to be $30,000 each. However, once that is spread across two aircraft, across the same time frame, you end up with a lot of money. Less than what the bomber cost, by half, but the bomber killed 5 targets, and the fighters only killed 1. The fighters also required 3x as many tankers to get them to go that distance. They are only more economical if the bomber has to fly the same tens of thousands of miles round trip, while they are stationed within a few thousand miles of their target.

In other words, to achieve an equal cost per target destroyed, the fighters would need to be stationed more more than 3,600 nmi from the target, where the bombers could be 10,000 nmi away.
