Talk:Battle for Earth Reloaded (Map Game)

Can I play?, the game is still going?, Bauglir Zero 01:35, June 12, 2012 (UTC)

We didn't start yet, so yes. Best if you read this and this first. Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 01:41, June 12, 2012 (UTC)

Ok, I'll Bauglir Zero 01:45, June 12, 2012 (UTC)

I have a problem, my hypotetic alien nation is a racial confederacy, six races in total, and each one has its own weakness and strengths. For example the T**** are a low gravity species, but reproduct like rabbits. The K**** are an high gravity species and have "weak genetic diversity". Can I do that?, or better just play as a single-race alien nation? Bauglir Zero 23:52, June 12, 2012 (UTC)

You can do that, but you have to balance it out. I wouls say that you should choose the best unique ability of your main race, and then the rest can be "extras" of sorts. Monster Pumpkin 00:07, June 13, 2012 (UTC)

Oh :D, ok then its easier, thank you Bauglir Zero 00:17, June 13, 2012 (UTC)

Resurection
I feel like I keep bringing my race (the Caborr) back to life to like just to be killed again. Anyone else? I've also played as France for all three games. CourageousLife 21:54, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

Regenetech for the win all the way. Currently I feel sad for not taking my historic Canada again, but I have taken the nation that I wanted that last two games. AMERIKKKA! Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 19:27, June 21, 2012 (UTC)

Umm, racist much? Ameri - KKK- a? Lol I hope that was an accident :D CourageousLife 22:49, June 21, 2012 (UTC)

Lol, yeah, it was an accident. Read: Hitler's pronunciation of America. Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 23:29, June 21, 2012 (UTC)

Ahh, okay! Funny coincidence... CourageousLife 23:37, June 21, 2012 (UTC)

Let's see...

Hitler = Racist = KKK = Most white Americans = not Scrawland - not = Scrawland = colored.

Keyword: MINUS  not 

Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 23:41, June 21, 2012 (UTC)

So what are you trying to say? You're colored (I have no problem at all just trying to confirm)? Am I following your logic correctly? CourageousLife 23:57, June 21, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, you follow me right. Albeit, I am white in skin color yet of Asian descent. AMERICKA! (Does that sound better than AMERIKKKA?) Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 01:07, June 22, 2012 (UTC)

Lol sorry if im being picky! Don't wanna get personal or invade anybody's privacy! CourageousLife 01:12, June 22, 2012 (UTC)

The German spelling was Amerika, so some hippie groups used that spelling in attempt to make America seem fascist. Amerikkka is used by the black nationalists in their crazed ramblings. LurkerLordB (Talk) 02:11, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

Wow. Thanks for the info. Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 19:36, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

Mod Rules
Looking at your rules for who becomes mod, that kinda narrows it down to 6-7 people, because only 12 people have ever made 3000 edits, and some of those- like say LG, who has the most edits on this wiki- don't play map games!Vir prudens non contraventum mingit 17:48, June 22, 2012 (UTC)

even I only have about 2650 edits.-Lx (leave me a message) 16:48, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

That is why we have the "exceptions" part. Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 19:36, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

Sooooo............
so......when does this thing start?Wegscuba 03:23, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, when? Vir prudens non contraventum mingit 18:51, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

When everything is settled and all right. Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 19:36, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

Realism of the Aliens
How realistic do the aliens need to be? I know they can have telekinesis, so they obviously don't need to be super realistic, but are their limits (any unrealism I would do would be serious, not some stupid joke like Taco Gazelles). LurkerLordB (Talk) 02:20, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

Well, they obviously cannot be all powerful. Generally, I would say use checks and balances, if they have a good ability, give them a good weakness. Then it should be fine. Monster Pumpkin 02:32, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

I'm not thinking power, I'm thinking biology. For example, would a species that is incorporeal (like a ghost) be allowed? (this isn't what I am planning) LurkerLordB (Talk) 02:44, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

Probably not. Monster Pumpkin 03:08, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

No, that would not be allowed. This is specifically mostly a sci-fi thing, not a fantasy world. Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 19:36, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

Brazil
Hey, look there are two "Braziles", Bauglir Zero 19:31, June 23, 2012 (UTC).

Not anymore. I am now the sole owner of all of Brazil. And the central galaxy, etc, etc.

And who might you be? The Central Galaxy? That is the outlawed zone. No one in the center because nothing can live there. Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 19:36, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

My bad, it was Guns, and i meant the area around that. Not the actual center. the area around it.

Of course, now looking at the map I see there isn't any of that.... so I'll change it to the edges, I suppose. Vir prudens non contraventum mingit 20:31, June 25, 2012 (UTC)

Nukes
Ive been thinking, most of the good map games invole less advanced technology, where people do not have the ability to kill each other from across the planet with the press of a button. So, here's what I propose - at the start of the game, one of the Mod-Controlled species detonates a device in the atmosphere that renders all nukes and long-range missiles. This way, the humans cannot threaten each other with nukes and will (possibly) open the door to WW3 on earth without total destruction of the planet. I also propose that no alien nations have the power to destroy a planet. Thoughts? CourageousLife 18:04, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

Well, I'm just saying, thats a little odd. Today humans could probably do it- if they had a few hundred trillion dollars and wanted to. We have the tech... how about something like, the object on Mars extended a massive EMP charge which prevents any of the Inner solar system and the sun from being destroyed, as well as limiting nukes? Vir prudens non contraventum mingit 18:45, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

Well, most of us do have the power to destroy planets, and mod races stars, but that is against the rules. It says not to blow things up but to threaten to do that. Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 19:36, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

Are We Starting?
We should get this thing on the road. CrimsonAssassin 19:13, June 28, 2012 (UTC)

We can't start until the galaxy map is complete... which could take some time...Kronicsunflower 16:08, June 29, 2012 (UTC)

Whose turn is it? The mechs suddenly turned up in 2nd after ahlose was done soo... Vir prudens non contraventum mingit 19:00, June 29, 2012 (UTC)

People, please be faster with the galactic map. I'm impatient, sorry Bauglir Zero 03:06, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

I think its because no one knows whose turn it is to do the map... because someone put the mechs in front of something already done so bob doesn't know if he should go, and neither does the mechs guy... course thts solved now =D Vir prudens non contraventum mingit 21:00, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah. Next person please! Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 21:03, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

Yes. And in regards to the map, the Polarans claim no worlds. Is it possible for me to add the location of their worldships and their trajectories instead? --"Truth fears no questions..." 21:12, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

No. If they "claim no worlds," then where the heck did they come from? A black hole? Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 21:16, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

You can't come from a star. >.> Do you know anything about science or history, honestly? Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 21:20, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

Scrawland read this about the Polarans, the Polarans consumed they homeworld, now they are nomadic people, its simple. Bauglir Zero 21:32, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

I just read the Pradedonii are nomadic (pirates in fact). Bauglir Zero 21:55, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

By the rate we're going, this map will be done in 5 months :( Sasafred12 22:08, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, but he claims that the homeworld is Polaris, the North Star.

Also, if they are nomadic pirates, they don't need to be on the map, since they wouldn't have a nation to come from or anything. Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 22:12, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

Maybe a planet orbiting Polaris?, I guess they could be in the map with the actual position of their ships. Do we really need to wait for this map?. Can't the mods do it? please?, it would be easier and faster.Bauglir Zero 22:28, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

No. People decide where their own nations are. Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 22:31, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

Since when did I say the Polarans were pirates or that they came from a black hole or star? Scrawland, are you reading the articles, or justing looking for reasons to insult me? --"Truth fears no questions..." 23:19, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

What on earth are you talking about? Where are you getting this? We're talking about PRAEDONII. THey're pirates. Also, on the page, it says that they come from the "northern star of Polaris." That's a star. It is you who has insulted me by putting words in my mouth. Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 23:23, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

"No. If they "claim no worlds," then where the heck did they come from? A black hole?" and "You can't come from a star. >.> Do you know anything about science or history, honestly?". Hence, my belief you were speaking of me and the pirates. I wasn't trying to insult you, just trying to understand why your going on asking if I know anything of science without even reading the Polarans' article first. You insulted me by questioning my intelligence. --"Truth fears no questions..." 23:31, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

Those two quotes were about you, yes. And I have read the article. It makes mention of the homeworld. The least you could do is say that it went around Polaris. Either way, you are aware that Polaris is  not  in the Milky Way Galaxy, right? That is why I questioned your knowledge. Also, if they mine worlds that are already owned, war would happen, and any of our races would blow up all your ships with the snap of a finger. You might want to rethink your whole story. Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 23:46, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

I like them the way they are. I'll continue work on the Polarans, and give you some idea of the size and power of their ships. Hopefully that will explain why they've survived the last 200,000 years of space-faring. --"Truth fears no questions..." 23:57, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

It doesn't matter. Nineteen races and nations have the power to blow up whole stars. If you think a ship the size of any world can resist that, good luck. I've seen that picture, and it's nothing compared to the superweapons that exist. Look at the old pages of the Regenetech, Dravimos, and Terran Empires, and see this as well. No amount of your ships' size and power can escape us. Especially since you're not a mod. Also, if you don't have the hyperdrive, you can't go beyond a star system. Just cause you like it doesn't mean anything. If it doesn't fit with existing canon, it will rendered null and void and obsolete. Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 00:08, July 1, 2012 (UTC)

Hmm, well not unless I'm friends with the other nations and not yourself. Plus, whether I like them or not means nothing. I like them as I've made them. Why are you so arrogant? It sounds more like your bragging now. --"Truth fears no questions..." 00:13, July 1, 2012 (UTC)

Look, the mods nations are allied. Regenetech+Dravimos+Azaranian+Ahlose+Mechs (sort of). The Terrans don't count because he's not playing this game. No one else has this power. Besides, only one of these nations is controlled by me. The others are Monster Pumpkin, LxCaucassus, CourageousLife, and CrimsonAssassin. You can't undo a 75 million year old alliance. There's no enemies of us who could potentially cause any damage to us. You're calling me arrogant? I'm telling the truth. It's blunt and straight forward. If "Truth asks no questions" you shouldn't question the truth. I'm telling you now, before anything happens in the game: You are at the risk of being attacked by powerful nations due to your habit of mining planets that are owned. Simply put, if any of us had any control at all over time before this game, your nations would have been attacked. I'm being perfectly honest to you--any attack towards you would only result in your defeat. Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 00:42, July 1, 2012 (UTC)
