I'd say that cooling tensions between our two lady-friends is pretty important...

((I don't think anyone cares enough about the hole to Hell.))

Use my Spider-Jumping to jump like a jumping spider! Away from the cops, mind you, and towards the hell-portal, because I'll prove myself wrong or die trying!

...$5 on die trying.

Wow, you guys always amaze me with your swiftness.

I think we're just waiting on McDreich and Caerwyn, which means I need to update stats tomorrow.

Seconded.

Pluto is practically the worst place we could put a base. No resources, far from the sun (less energy available and more needed), no igneous activity, nowhere near Earth (meaning we need to e self-sufficient from the start and won't be able to invade Earth easily)...

Anyways, the moon ha great advantages. We can launch a sneak attack. Build some big railguns and prepare them; we can fire enough rounds to terrify them (and ideally cripple their military fleets), demand surrender, and ready a round of shots that would destroy their big cities or military bases in case they send someone up without our permission. We'd be able to see them before they could react, and there's no way they could react fast enough to a bunch of big rocks. If they acted, hundreds of millions could die.
Then we surprise everyone by using our world domination well. We'll do better than what at least half the world is used to, which is actually a pretty low bar to jump over.

Yeah, and we've kinda settled on mars. I mean think about it, imagine how expensive a attack on mars would be, yet imagine how it's possible if only enough crazy people wanted to do it!

I still don't get why. Any attack from Mars gives the groundhogs every advantage we would have attacking from Luna--time, seeing our ships before they could make it, etc.

Resources.
A planet.
Satisfaction.

You can get resources elsewhere, a planet's not worth much if you've bombed it sterile, and satisfaction isn't worth much.

Still, I'm not much of an Emperor. I'm more of a marauding warlord savaging civilizations as I see fit to improve my own standing. An impulse-driven moron with little desire beyond immediate gratification. </character description>

I'm not an emperor either. I'm a talented officer in an empire. Doesn't mean I can't try some preliminary diplomacy. Communication is limited to ships or light, after all.

But because this RTD is proving to be fun. I think I'll let it continue, without an apocalypse.

Thanks.

I like how this has degenerated into an argument over blowing up the moon, or earth.

I still maintain that blowing up a body is a terribly inefficient method of mining, but my character has learned better than to reason with nuts. He's had a lot of them as COs.

Why is our power tax power so low? How many gods are there?

The gods said "fuck you" and ignored us.

I suggest we wage a war of "pay my power tax, you ungrateful morons" against our creation.
