General Discussion / Re: Sheb's European Megathread: Remove Feta!
« on: August 11, 2015, 12:18:12 am »
This guy is the national hero of Uzbekistan and was a renowned figure throughout much of Europe for a while. He slaughtered 17 million people. He built towers out of the skulls of the villages that he slaughtered in order to intimidate others. He also was a patron of the arts and would move all artisans and engineers from captured cities to his capital in Samurkand in order to work there, causing the city to flourish. He is the direct reason for the formation of the Mughul Empire by his descendants, and Persia from lands ravaged by him only years earlier.

See? There's someone who killed 100x more people and is also regarded as a hero.
Eh, I know that stuff like that exists, after all Stalin is still considered a saint in parts of Russia. Also, as you even mentioned, Timur seems to had some good sides for his country after all, while Bandera hardly did anything else than causing a genocide.

Well, this discussion can only go well.

Can't we just agree that most countries have a serious habit of considering people to be heroes that were actually monsters?
That doesn't sound like a healthy habit... especially at this scale.
EDIT:
By the way, I'm still having a grim smile because this guy thought that I'm Russian at first.

I don't think it's a good idea to start insulting people for being from whatever real country they're from. Let's just stick with Moskurg/Arstotzka insults.
This.
No need to repeat it three times tho.

It is a game guys :) I think my decision will add a fresh stream to it. Do not focus on winning(c) too hard. 

PS. Kot, I am Ukrainian, furthermore I am a Ukrainian nationalist. Enjoy this fact.
I do. This kinda makes me hate you for real, forgiving crucified children isin't an easy thing.
But, but, but whatever. Let's not bring real war into fictional war, as people already said.

On the other hand, what else could I expect from Ukrainian, or at least someone who claims to be one.
That escalated quickly.
It did.
On the other hand, being a traitor, IIRC, is still treated by firing squad in lot's and lot's of countries.
EDIT: Try to not mind me, after all, my way too big patriotism (or rather, nationalism) speaks through me.

Forum Games and Roleplaying / Re: Arms Race, Arstotzka: 1929 Design
« on: August 10, 2015, 10:49:25 pm »
We could design a high altitude heavy bomber and send those to china.  That might change some of the dynamics of the civil war.

Or make the sniper rifle, send a single one to the British and include a note saying, "hope your officers enjoy their time here."
Both those require using a design phase.
For the code machines what about instead of a machine like the moskurds use, a different one? 

My idea is make several dozen radio channels constantly broadcasting random disinformation orders and reports.  However every 10 minutes one of them is the real radio.  Hand out new code books saying which one is the real channel each day or week or whatever.  This will allow real time radio communication while not giving away information.
The constant broadcasting would require a lot of people talking good bullshit (bad bullshit would be too close to reality) to pull off. Also works only on bigger scale, really, not on squad one.

I used it the way you put it originally.
You didn't.
I don't see any edit on my post.
Also, the worst thing is that TRAITOR has no avatar, so we can't really shoot or hang him in effige.
Its called a ninja edit
See?
Prove it. Or actually don't, I have no interest in anything you animals can tell me, it will be lies anyway.

Traitor.
TO be fair one of our guys rage quit, and im not all that active.
Spoiler: Traitor (click to show/hide)
Is that one of the hideous Arstotzkan women I hear so much about? So terrible you hide them inside of traitors?
You broke it, filthy Moskurgian. Clearly, any technology more complicated than crayons is above you. Also, say what you want about our women, but by any measure, they aren't tigers.

We're not trying to make the Communists lose, here. Regardless of if they win or lose, helping them at all will lower our standing in the eyes of anyone who hates communists, including Britain (since you seem to care about that), Germany, and the US. They do hate communism, by the way.
Early on in Soviet Russia's history (between 1919 and 1929, I think), Britain invaded Russia with a bunch of other countries to "nip Communism in the bud" as it were. The invasion failed and the Soviets hated the West even more.
There was no invasion, merely minor "help" for Whites from Western countries in Civil War, and not even because of communists, it was because they retracted from the war, and they didin't like Germany not fighting on both fronts.
Fuck that anyway, just send guns to everyone.

What? No, I think there's some confusion. We give the pistol to the British and we give something else (maybe the F14A) to the Chinese. We give the pistol to the British to insult them. We give the F14A (or another weapon) to the Chinese. The way I see it, the Royal Army is looking for a weapon that'll be cheap no matter what, even if they only have the minimum amount of resources. It's why I don't think we should submit our grenade.
They want a machinegun, not rifle or grenades. The commies would possibly want a grenade, but you don't want to help commies.
Making the British like us may be the strategic thing to do but fuck it! This is what the British get for forcing Arstotzkans to work in their plantations like common slaves! We are Arstotzkans and we have our pride! We can improve our relations with the British but not if it means apologising for throwing off our shackles of slavery and oppression!
Yadadadadadada, they didin't even managed to stay long enough to make us work at plantations. Give them something good, and do it quick.

Both Moskurg and Arstotzka sent their spies to steal some intel from their sunken submarine in order to get Design credits. They were both captured and in the year after, rebels started appearing in both Arstotzka and Moskurg. After some espionage actions, the US were found to be directly tied to both rebellions.

Glory to Arstotzka.
Stealing from Americans =/= helping a country on the other side of world, that they don't even care about, yet. It won't instantly cause them to drop everything and pop destroyers by our shores.
