Hello again, Bay12. Earlier this year, or maybe last year, I can't quite recall, I made a forum game called Create a Planet. It was really fun at first but later I got too lazy it just became too complicated for me to continue. The tree of life has already gotten out of control and we only just reached multicellular life. So, I decided to come back and bring this thing back, with a twist. I will give you guys tasks to... well, destroy planets... and other stuff too... sometimes. I want to make up some kind of story for all this shenanigans, but we'll see how that goes, I may utterly fail at that. So, back to the point of this game. I give you a planet to destroy. You destroy it with whatever you have. What you don't have, you can create, eventually. I'm sure this will get quite ridiculous later on, so... yeah, let's just get this thing started.

Since I can't really come up with a good story from the top of my head, let's just say a group of people just decided that it would be a good idea to destroy the Earth and they have the means to do so. Let's just start with nonsense and build more nonsense up around it as time goes on.

The attackers' goal will be to wipe out humanity, or just drive it off the planet, using anything you have. The defenders will have to try and stop that from happening.

Planet stats:

Factions:
The people who want to destroy the planet (I suck at naming stuff, so just agree upon a name yourselves)

Members: (feel free to sign up...)

So, I'll be quite open to all actions and ideas, so feel free to suggest stuff and I might add it. I'll also be open when it comes to ways to damage the planet or acquiring resources. Also, the units here will probably all be in metric, sorry Americans, but you'll have to adapt to play this game. So, you can do pretty much whatever you like and I'll evaluate how the actions fit with this. Have fun, everyone and thanks in advance for putting up with me!

I'm up for this, sign me up on the protection team.

I predict this turning into an arms race of massive proportions.

Edit: As for the name, i propose the Sunshine Squad, cause why the hell not.

Maybe you should start explaining to gain more attention. I for one would like to have a modern setting with possible mad science and such things, expected to see in a bond movie!

[Yourmaster]

I want to join the destoyers I guess then.

[adwarf]

Sign me up as a defender please.

It was less then 20 minutes since your last post, not a whole lot of people are active at this time and things like these take a little while to get started and moving both in player interest and the GM getting everything going. Patience is key.

FTFY.

And I'll be one of the defenders.
Begin designing a spacecraft that can be used as either a mining ship in the asteroid belt, or as an impromptu warship. (A laser or three that can be used for mining, combat, or point defense, armor, cargo space, lots of fuel, maybe a missile launcher, stuff like that.)

That seems like it might take just a bit more than steel and oil to produce, we need to get production facilities on the planet first and foremost before we go into space.

Construct mines, drilling rigs, refineries, and smelters for the production of metals, fuel, and alloys.

Recruit biologists, telemarketing specialists, build a factory which produces a extremely fattening candybar which has three wrappers. Spare no expenses when it comes to ruining the environment. The biologist shall look for a proper lab, the telemarketers should advertise the evil candybar, which will be named Granola Jack Jack

[adwarf]

Start producing weapons and arming the populace, create a standing army of at least 1,000,000 even if we have to arm them with primitive slings and bows.

((Side benefit: We find out what we need!))

True, cant argue with being prepared.

Oh man, this is going to be fun. I knew Bay12 was the right place to go to.

In my main posts I'll only be responding to questions or actions, I'll leave out discussions until an agreement is reached. I apologize for not updating for a couple hours, but I went to bed with only one reply here and I woke up with a lot more, which was a rather pleasant surprise.

Yes, I definitely see this turning into an arms race and research will also play an important role. This starts in 2013 and time will move on. Scientific advancements may be researched manually by the players, or as accidental discoveries.

Good idea to not mine on Earth. But at the moment, more than just a small mining station in the asteroid belt might not be possible. That may later be turned into a warship, but at the moment there are too little resources. You use up most of the metal you currently have for it.

That seems like it might take just a bit more than steel and oil to produce, we need to get production facilities on the planet first and foremost before we go into space.

Construct mines, drilling rigs, refineries, and smelters for the production of metals, fuel, and alloys.

Indeed, warships are a little bit ahead of today's technology. You use up the rest of the metal and some of the oil constructing said facilities.

You do the same for the destroyer team.

Recruit biologists, telemarketing specialists, build a factory which produces a extremely fattening candybar which has three wrappers. Spare no expenses when it comes to ruining the environment. The biologist shall look for a proper lab, the telemarketers should advertise the evil candybar, which will be named Granola Jack Jack

You create the evil candybar corporation, damaging the environment and killing off people every turn. The candybar is mass-produced and it's made of earthworms, insects and plankton, draining the global biomass. The pollution from the wrappings also factors into it. The telemarketing specialists even start a campaign to encourage littering and disencourage recyling.

Start producing weapons and arming the populace, create a standing army of at least 1,000,000 even if we have to arm them with primitive slings and bows.

Don't worry, there are enough guns for everyone on the planet. The recruitment campaign is a success, now you have a global standing army of around 1,000,000 people. They are quite inexperienced and undisciplined though.

Joining the evil team
Hire some fishing boats, and very deep nets. Under the guise of going fishing on extremely endangered species, begin sabotaging underwater communication lines. Additionally, sabotage DNS systems.

On a side note; drilling oil is outdated. Begin construction of a series of nuclear power plants* that process coal/ natural gas and raw biomass straight into oil.

*These plants use a single circuit cooling system. Water is taken in, through the reactor , through the turbine, and back out, taking any radiation with it.
