You, you lazy bastard of a GM!

[Empiricist]

This is a rather Pyrrhic affair, with the casualty rates you've mentioned, they might as well nuke it or saturation bomb to hell before the military is crippled by losses. Plus magic would likely allow revegetation.

[Xantalos]

No one ever thinks like that. Also they want to take back the island, the nuke will sterilize it, preventing life from ever going there again. Nukes are a last fucking resort, I see you know nothing about the military.

You underestimate the power of desperation.

*facepalm*
THEIR NOT GOING TO NUKE THEIR OWN FUCKING ISLAND! ARE ALL OF YOU FUCKING RETARDED!?

[kj1225]

I believe there is a bomb that only makes things irradiated for like five seconds and then everything is fine.

[Xantalos]

*facepalm*
THEIR NOT GOING TO NUKE THEIR OWN FUCKING ISLAND! ARE ALL OF YOU FUCKING RETARDED!?

They will if the situation becomes desperate enough.

[Empiricist]

They're crippling their military in a internecine war of attrition. Even if they win, they won't be able to handle another one like this anytime soon. Nuking or saturation bombing seems like a better idea...

[mcclay]

NO, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO DO THAT! SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT! NUKING WILL FUCKING WEAKEN THEIR OWN MILITARY EVEN MORE!

[Empiricist]

How? They could just evac first. And I never said it had to be nuking. Saturation bombing works fine. And indiscriminate magic bombardment.

[Twi]

All told, no matter how bad nuking is, throwing a bunch of untrained recruits where the veterans got their asses handed to them is also terrible and seems even less helpful. :V

[Empiricist]

And it'll just feed the shadows with their deaths.

[mcclay]

NO, WE ARE NOT DOING THAT! DO YOU WANT TO GO ON THE FUCKING MISSION OR NOT!?

[Projeck37]

Mcclay, we're going on the mission. We're just pointing out reason that is better than throwing the lamb to the wolves.

[GreatWyrmGold]

I think this is what rag was using to give us our magical weapons.

That just generated for me a claymore that is used rogues... I'd say it may be running on Bay12 logic...

Or a slightly twisted form of Skyrim meta-logic.

Also they want to take back the island, the nuke will sterilize it, preventing life from ever going there again. Nukes are a last fucking resort, I see you know nothing about the military.

Not likely. They can toss soldiers at the Shadows and hope the latter don't get strong enough to screw over everything, or they can nuke it. The logical response is to cut your losses and...

No one ever thinks like that.

...Okay, I'll give you that one.

NO, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO DO THAT! SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT! NUKING WILL FUCKING WEAKEN THEIR OWN MILITARY EVEN MORE!

More than sending their whole military in there squad by squad to die? If they're sending in the recruits with two months (out of four years) of basic training, they're getting desperate...

How? They could just evac first. And I never said it had to be nuking. Saturation bombing works fine. And indiscriminate magic bombardment.

Discriminate magical bombardment would probably be better.

All told, no matter how bad nuking is, throwing a bunch of untrained recruits where the veterans got their asses handed to them is also terrible and seems even less helpful. :V

Especially when their deaths make the enemy stronger.

Calm down McClay
