The Nations Game

[Jacko]

In a recent reform of our rather dis-organised army, we have put some spare funding towards a full army uniform
here are some Pics that were 'accidentally' leaked to world media.

Second batch due to 3 max

Can we have Info on what this actually does? I.e. what the mask is for, what the armor is?

[Jacko]

it makes us look scarier and the armor is somewhat improved.
look cool huh?

[Last_Ninja_Monk]

So no actual aid in battle then?

[Jacko]

well yeah of course there is.
The mask can be switched to thermal imaging to see hidden men, and i already said the armour is stronger

[Last_Ninja_Monk]

Corsh has enough money to fit 12.5 million men with Thermal image head wear

Sorry, has enough money to Waste fitting 12.5 million men with thermal head ware.

edit: Lemme just state for the record that the Cameras alone cost 1,000. 12.5 million x 1000 = 12.5 billion...on head wear.....

[Jacko]

Thermal cameras wouldn't be that expensive now.
we are in the future remember?

[Last_Ninja_Monk]

helmet fitted Cameras that run for long periods of time? That allow the user to see 20-20 without distorting? (I.e. try and walk using your phone as your eyes) Hold a Camera right to your eyes and tell em what you see? Nothing, because a Camera is not a set of goggles. Expensive tech for such a niche usage.



As for armor, we could easily supply you with better fitted armor in that design.

Erm... then, what do you think about the Project Glass IRL ?

BREAKING NEWS!

The Kiran Airforce has reported there has been an explosion on board the shuttle Antares, on route from the moon towards the Earth.

The shuttle is still in flight and all the crew is safe for now. More information will be disclosed as soon as possible.

Yeah I forgot that google made really cheap, thermal imaging, bullet proof headware........................Google glasses, that so far havent been tested properly or priced up......

Not so much im arguging the point, im just stating its such a massive waste of money. Not to mention the massive headaches from using them too much, which would mean there hardly ever used, aka a giant pointless expensive bit of tech.


Its like stating that your car has a coffee maker inside, im not saying you cant have 1, im saying its expensive and you'll probably have about 2 cups in your lifetime. Cheaper to make several thousand of the masks for special missions, rather than kit everyone with it.

[Jacko]

Its not constant Thermal n stuff.
It is generally a normal mask but the thermal imaging is used to scout out positions. ususally.

Aternia unveils its first ever "drop ship".



The Eagle





A take on the new helicopter design that uses thrusters instead of blades, the Eagle is designed to drop down rapidly allowing for a fast deployment of troops onto front lines, or for emergency services.




Using the engines to "hover" over the ground, the Eagle never fully lands, allowing it to zip in and out quickly and effectively. Atleast 6 times faster on take off then standard choppers, and 3 times faster in air travel, the Eagle is expected to be the new first line in Attack choppers.

Aterico is currently adapting the technology to allow for better, smaller rockets into outerspace.

BREAKING NEWS!
The Kiran Airforce has reported there has been an explosion on board the shuttle Antares, on route from the moon towards the Earth.
The shuttle is still in flight and all the crew is safe for now. More information will be disclosed as soon as possible.

Kiran Airforce statement:
"After examining the situation on board the damaged shuttle, we have concluded that it is not safe for its crew to attempt the re-entry into the Earth atmosphere. The shuttle Altair has been dispatched into rescue and the Antares' crew has been transferred onto it in orbit and safely returned home. The damaged shuttle will be landed by remote control and we hope it will be able to land intact, however, there are no guarantees.

As for the explosion itself, it seems that it was caused by a malfunctioning hydrogen tank, transported from the moon. The damage will be fully assessed once the shuttle has been grounded. Also, we will be looking into alternate ways of storing and trasnporting flammable gases. Until that time, only Helium-3 will be transported from the moon."

Dutch Deals!



(As agree'd to by Kasper, so dont start signing other peoples nations up with the same idea...)



Aternian leader Chairman Bullson met with President *Dutch woman* today to sign what is Aternia/Aternicos biggest and most profitable deal. A multi Trillion dollar defense contract was handed over to Aternian company Aternico for a long term protection scheme over Dutch Territory.



The deal comes After Dutch company GOD inc fell on hard times during a recession, forcing them to go into liquidation. Without new tech, the Dutch were left with a lower grade military, however the new scheme will ensure that they receive regular military updates and technology, as well as protection from Aternia.


Since the signing of the deal, Billions of dollars worth of Robotics have been handed over to the Dutch military.


Along with the military contract, industrial robotics contracts have also been signed, allowing the vast purchase of industrial robots to ensure the nation goes supplied.


Since the deal, RobCo has seen its shares almost triple, allowing for researching into bigger projects.





Chairman Bullson stated:


"The Dutch have been long term allies of Aternia for years and I am happy to say that they will remain technology savvy, as well as protected for years to come."

Should we call this dead?

[Jacko]

I was kinda waiting on someone else to post first before I posted something.
Activity seemed to drop rather abruptly though....

I'm sure someone else will return and we can restart this thread/game/whatever.

[Pilot]

Indeed Dead, maybe a restart would help, but we need to know who'd be willing to play first.

Regarding he who must not be named (banned (from game) boy, who I can't see!), I am willing to give a FINAL chance, but I'm unsure about others.

Anyway, if your willing to restart/play another Game, say I, and I'll try and get one going

[Nawdic]

Found out hes older than you.
