VigilVirus Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 It's not for you to decide. BTW, Atomics were used in the book by the Emperor himself on a colony. And they were already used in our past posts. It is a big decision to use atomics, but sometimes it can be necessary.
Andrew Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 yes it was used on the richesian moon. but if the other houses had known the real reasons, they would be destoyed. and if everyone is using atomics than i guess it is ok, but it will make the people who use them not very virtuous with the Guild.I now presume that we are not following the books exactly or are we and that we are just allowed to use atomics and other weapons and "thinking machines"?.
VigilVirus Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 I haven't used the atomics yet. I just said that I have Advanced Ares ships - I developed them earlier and shared the tech with the Emperor.Adv Ares ship - invisible ship, does not appear on radar, armed with lasers, biological missiles, chemical weapons and stoneburners.
Andrew Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 so are they "no ships" as described in heretics dune and chapterhouse dune or are they just plain invisible ships? or are they from a game?
VigilVirus Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 so are they "no ships" as described in heretics dune and chapterhouse dune or are they just plain invisible ships? or are they from a game?Yes, they are advanced versions of the "no-ship" from the book.
Inoculator9 Posted November 16, 2002 Author Posted November 16, 2002 If we were going by the book, the Guild wouldn't be interfering this much. You can't make decisions about military placement of the other houses, and the emperor uses atomics as long as he pays off the right people, bla bla bla.
Andrew Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 The Guild accepts these new terms and will not interfere with military placement unless it involves spice production, or beneficiaries of the Guild that supply us with our needs.
GhostHunter Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 Vigil....Atomics and mass destruction weapons.....That makes it boring and it is was leads up to the locking of a post, look at Dune NEw Beginning....
Inoculator9 Posted November 16, 2002 Author Posted November 16, 2002 Im inclined to agree. Only use atomics on a small scale, like for individual ship destruction.
VigilVirus Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 Vigil....Atomics and mass destruction weapons.....That makes it boring and it is was leads up to the locking of a post, look at Dune NEw Beginning....I am not using them! The threat alone can be used as a weapon. I won't use them until I need to.
Andrew Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 Vigil....Atomics and mass destruction weapons.....That makes it boring and it is was leads up to the locking of a post, look at Dune NEw Beginning....You are rightwhy was it locked? shouldnt they give a reason?vigil has a point if it is the way the game wil be played.If people were still writing in it, then they shouldnt lock it.
VigilVirus Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 It was locked because it got boring and no one could do anything. (Enemies were all at unknown locations and no one knew anything).
GhostHunter Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 Argh....What I am saying is you shouldn't even have them, one nuke blows up all, compared to hand to hand combat....Which is cooler?
VigilVirus Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 Argh....What I am saying is you shouldn't even have them, one nuke blows up all, compared to hand to hand combat....Which is cooler?Ummm.. The nuke that blows up all ;D. But like in real life - the nukes will not be used unless they are the only option.
Andrew Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 Argh....What I am saying is you shouldn't even have them, one nuke blows up all, compared to hand to hand combat....Which is cooler?it would be cooler hand to hand like the way it is in the dune books at one point. becasue i could sneak a nuke into every enemies home planet and kill them all off or easily destroy an army.and yes every Great house does have nukes and other mass destruction but they are only supposed to be used to protect humanity against outside forces.if only they made dune generations we could do this in a game environment
Inoculator9 Posted November 16, 2002 Author Posted November 16, 2002 Ok everyone, get back on track. The atomics are used as a deterant.
exatreide Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 Vilgi Vilgi old buhdy ol pal...You know you cant do that. That is god modding. THis is your last warning do it again and its temp ban from fan fiction."The Harkonnen reinforcements arrived on Arrakis. 10,000 transports landed on Dune, dispatching 1,000,000 infantry, 500,000 vehicles and 100,000 airforce to be added to the already immense Harkonnen defensive army. All around the Harkonnen territories defenses began to prepare. Thousands of turrets were built around the Harkonnen borders to protect the territory from the possible invaders. Several thousands of Advanced Ares ships were spread around the borders of Harkonnen controlled space several months before as a safety measure. One could be sure, that there was at least a couple douzen on the Atreides border and Ixian border, floating there, invisible and armed with weapons that can end the lives of billions of people (chemical, laser, bio and nuclear). No fleet would be able to cross the borders without being severely damaged by these masterpieces of Human destruction. "
Dunenewt Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 I agree. This is geting pointless as no matter what anyone does they are always out numbered by the Harkonnen
Dunenewt Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 And I was the one who locked Dune - A New BeginningHowever that is only temporary. I will unlock it on the conition that something constructive (or Destructive!) happens
VigilVirus Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 That was not godmodding. Just because the numbers are big doesn't make it so and my army is not really that big.Why are you being so paranoid?? 1. I did not destroy anything2. I did not do anything that is out of ordinary - I just established my defenses
VigilVirus Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 And I was the one who locked Dune - A New BeginningHowever that is only temporary. I will unlock it on the conition that something constructive (or Destructive!) happensNothing is going to happen because the Guild and everyone else warped to unknown location.

"1. invisible..Nothing can see them so no matter what they do u can seem them and they cant see you.2. No matter what they do they can not get a fleet out. "No fleet would be able to cross the borders without being sererly damaged"one that is not severly damaged. 3.You never made a mention of these ships around your space in the earilery posts its like saying. "The nuke didnt go off becouse of the 50 million anti nuke jammers that i put on my planet 10 months ago without saying anything about, huck huck."
VigilVirus Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 1. The Ares ships have been developed at the very beginning of this RP thread. The Emperor and the Moritani also have this technology.2. I have brought it up just now because their spreading was secret and now they are needed for defense
exatreide Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 Oh ok....I belive you...You couldn't have said. "We are planning somthing..." 20% complete thats all it would have taken. but noooooooo you have to just pop out of nowhare with those.IT dosnt matter if they have that tech or not. I was mearly stating how you are useing it to god mod.Last post concering the god modding. All replys concerning god modding shall be turned into the folowing messege. "The duck is smart and i am dumb." Once more vilgi it is god modding.And this is your last warning.so help me god.
Dunenewt Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 The Ixian forces amassed on their border with the Harkonnen sector of Arrakis.Ixian Cyboids could easily take out 5 Harkonnen troops at loss of only 1 of theirs
