Well, I'm still opposed to just throwing asteroids at them. It's not aesthetically pleasing at all. It's a giant rock. Sure, it's the same as a colony in terms of what we're trying to accomplish, but we need to be classy about this. We can't conduct war with rocks! They'd laugh at us! "Oh, look at those space people. They're using rocks. That's so stupid," they'd say, while sipping on their brandy and wearing their Hugo Boss uniforms. And we'd be in Mars, steering our asteroids at them in yesterday's boxers. Imagine the pictures after we win that war. Future people would say, "Well, the Earth Federation might be a bunch of stupid poopyheads, but at least they were photogenic."

I can see that we're slowly getting to the same page. That's good. But we can't do this with rocks. War is a sophisticated game with norms and proper conduct must be observed. This is especially true in interplanetary war. You don't go to a wedding wearing shorts, and you don't go to war throwing rocks at your enemies. Maybe if the asteroids looked really reaaaaally cool, I'd allow it. But until then, it's hulking chunks of metal. Space stations. Colonies. 500 million tons of twisted steel and sex appeal.

Throwing satelites is not good enough?

Well, we could always try sculpting the asteroids before we throw them. Maybe into a giant middle-finger or something.

In honor of Girlinhat, carve one into a phallus and paint it gold.

Ahem.

Good morning chaps! I got the thread created last night but got interrupted and went to bed rather promptly afterwards. I'll get to finishing it this morning.

I'm going to create a list of the sub-organizations and their memberships. I think we have an organization for Mars Acclimation something something, DEEPER (forgot what that one did), and maybe a few others. We need one for weaponization and military (we can elect leader for that one), and and a homeland administration organization (the boring and mundane mars colonization stuff.)

Re-Commencing work on the organzied thread.

[Slayerhero90]

I would support soul using if:
A. The souls lasted forever or a really long time, like longer than the human lifespan.
B. We had technology to put souls back in the bodies.
C. We used the soul powering as something like jury duty. You are forced to power something with your soul for part of a day.
D. Criminals are picked first, and death sentence is powering something with your soul as long as possible.

[acetech09]

Ok. I got an easier way of keeping track of personnel.

EVERYBODY: If you plan on coming along, post your intended role, including membership of any subcommittee, here. If you are founder/administrator of a subcommittee, post that here too. thanks.

^ This this and so much this.

As head of M.A.G.M.A. I'm now purchasing a bunch of Zyklon B off of the black market. Hell why don't we just build a weapons system that shoots space darts that penetrate the hull of enemy ships and inject zyklon B into the ships atmosphere.

That's probably for the chemical weapons guys though.

Or put the injector on the very tip of the asteroids middle finger.

EDIT:

EVERYBODY: If you plan on coming along, post your intended role, including membership of any subcommittee, here. If you are founder/administrator of a subcommittee, post that here too. thanks.

Yo, get waffleeggnog to put the list of organizations and leaders on the OP so we can all find it easily.

Misko27, Prime Minister, head of the Legislatve branch, and Leader of DEEPER (Department of Engineering the Eldritch and Practical Explotation of genetic Resources (Engineering Nightmares since 2037))

Hey, there are people muscleing in on my Department. B-Freez, This means you. I suppose it could be a sub-division...

Now, instead of throwing things at them, How about we shoot a solar powered gauss cannon? Or the Mustard gas dirty bombs. Hey, who wants to be in charge of weapon design?

Nice to see more people coming.

[slowpokez]

I guess I should get myself on the list...
Well...I usually don't get anything done so giving me a work-title might be hard..."hemp"-quality-tester maybe?
But here's a thought for you Waffle-boy, what if you put me up as an engraver and link my pictures there?

Head of the department of arts and recreation. Technobabbling LIKE A BOSS. Which I am...

Okay, reading over parts of the two threads, I realize There is some confusion over the biological division, and its name. To help matters, I call for amalgamation of all biological divisions, excluding MAGMA, as it relates to general habitability. I as Prime Minister, should probably relinquish my role as head of DEEPER. I will ask for a statue of myself, in the garden of its headquarters.

A lot of things burn with astounding intesity; Styrofoam, Napalm, Marshmallows are just the beginning. But what if there was a material that could set sand on fire? OK, so clearly that was a loaded question, but it's a necessary set-up. Chlorine triflouride has the dubious honor of being terrifyingly flammable, to the point that history's evil boy-scouts, the Nazis, deemed it too dangerous to work with. When people who consider genocide their life's goal don't want to use something becasue it's too deadly, it bears treating it with caution. There is a story where someone spilled this stuff and it caught fire, it burned through 12 inches of concrete, a meter of sand and kept going into the gravel.

tl;dr-When people who consider genocide their life's goal don't want to use something becasue it's too deadly, it's a must have for a bay12 operation.

The one who can come up with the best way to implicate Chlorine triflouride into our project gets a cookie :3

[darkrider2]

Hello, Head of MAGMA here saying I would love to buy some of that crap in order to burn huge holes in the ground that we can use for building bunkers and basements in our cities.

All the extra gases generated from burning the ground away will probably help create a bigger greenhouse type event in the mars atmosphere and as such making it more habitable since it will start warming up a little bit.

Also MAGMA has a deficit of cookies and our Earth Embassy hasn't been too fond of baking them.
