Hmm. Actually I might end as a Sentinel. I like passive buffs to my allies. :3

Sentinel for the win

I might end up with a Bishop next time. That Sanctuary ability seems ridiculously useful.

Now waiting for Furt.

Aaaand he posted.

Yay!

I'd love a Reignleif, personally. It's the Soldier's unique weapon, but it's only has slightly better stats than an Iron Lance, which means that it won't be long before it becomes obsolete :/

Might as well be a death sentence.

They'll release him sooner or later, like those two American journalists a few years ago.

We'll see. The last time that happened North Korea used it as "Look, America is capitulating!" propaganda. With recent events the government might not want to let that happen.

Wouldn't that be a good thing from their point of view? It'd allow them to back down semi-gracefully from all of their recent threats, at least in the eyes of the citizenry.
"See! Not only is America scared of our might, but they'll also do anything to get their citizens back! We're number 1!"

So that American wasn't killed, just sentenced to 15 years of hard labor, where he could die.

Perhaps North Korea actually listens?

How exactly would you get the power anywhere else?

Lasers.

Seriously though, haven't they been working on some kind of satellite based power transmission or summat like that? Know they've got wireless power transmission over short range, but I don't recall how far they've gotten in getting it longer.

Barring that or really long power cables, you could probably do something involving batteries of various sorts.

The only satellite-based power generation scheme I can remember involved satellites in geosynchronous orbit gathering solar energy and beaming it down to special stations in the form of microwaves. Nothing that I can come up with involves beaming energy up to satellites and then being beamed down somewhere else.

Batteries would still need to be made, they'd have to be fairly massive, and worst of all would have to be transported to and from Greenland. A single shipwreck could cause country-wide blackouts.

I personally feel that the 3 fossil fuels would form some kind of evil carbon based axis in order to commit genocide against the renewable mechanisms of solar, tidal, wind and hydro. Nuclear power would sit in the corner doing a Switzerland.

My personal energy plan for unlimited nuclear power involves buying Greenland from the 56,744 (not a typo) people who live there, and then building some mostly computerized plants there. Really cold up there too, so coolant isn't as huge a priority.
