Goroza swims back to Japan.
[2] Goroza doesn't know how to swim.
"Excellent! America proves its superiority over Europe!" While the mech finishes construction, subsidize American companies that research anti-mothership weaponry.
[4] More and more companies join in on the weaponry boom, but America's debt is growing.
Point out that there is no real definition of turn limits and/or major and minor actions, thus convincing the GM to give me rolls for the actions he didn't allow to complete last turn on top of updating the main post with rules.
Exploit this fact by starting research and construction on a warhead and UAV capable of reaching the mothership, AND building those turrets with my now unlocked funds.
[-] It is suggested by an UNKNOWN VOICE that COMMON SENSE can be used to determine the difference between a major and minor action, and that there are no real penalties for posting two of the former. It is also suggested that UR DUM.
[
1] In your haste to order the construction of two entirely separate devices, you fuse them together, ordering the construction of a warhead and UAV capable of building turrets. The UN and US revoke your funding, seeing as you're obviously a madman.
Name: Guy Manley
Method of Defense: Seduction
First Action: Seduce the alien mothership.
[3-1] The alien mothership is in a committed relationship with an alien fathership, and has born several childships. It's not you, it's her.
Change of religion Satanism never made sense anyway. Then exorcise the curse.
[3] Destructo-bot decides to worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster, possibly the only deity less helpful than Satan. He is still incapable of exorcising the curse.
Generic (and insofar unnamed) Anime Protagonist decides to use the "Go beyond the limits" trope, ignoring the impossibility of his mech reaching the mothership, and takes it into space to fight the mothership.
Because plot convenience and the "power of belief". He then attacks the mothership and hopes his plot armor will keep him safe.
[4-1] GAP runs out of belief halfway to the mothership. He begins to fall.
Name: Nix
Method of Defence: Spontaneous Clone Generation
First Action: Create as many Nix Clones as possible in order to aid with the defence effort. Put combined manpower and brainpower to good use constructing additional defences and anti-alien strategies.
[6] The Nixclones decide that Nix Prime is holding back the Nixforce. He is eliminated.
Name: Doomrider
Method of Defense: Cocaine, cocaine, and cocaine (well, and his bike too!).
First Action: Spawn somewhere in South America, near the mansion of wealthy drug dealer, then ride right into his/her cocaine stash and snort ALL OF IT!
[1] Doomrider overdoses on cocaine and dies.
Kazuma seeks treatment for broken hand, then goes to karaoke to salve his ego.
[2] He gets laughed out of the hospital (and the bar).
Damnit.
Respawn as Respawn, the World War II ace pilot who just fell through a portal in space time and landed inside the alien mothership.
Open fire on everything.
[3-1] Respawn respawns in the middle of space and asphyxiates. Respawn?
Name: Carlos Sultana
Method of Defence: (Selling) cocaine, (selling) cocaine, (selling) cocaine (well, and a lot of guns, too)!
First Action: Defend my cocaine stash (located somewhere in South America) from pesky skeletal motorcyclists!
[5] Carlos doesn't have to defend his cocaine stash from the only extant skeletal motorcyclist, since it overdosed on its own private stash of cocaine before it could even reach his. Instead, he sets up traps for other would-be thieves.
Name: Albert Plon
Method of Defence: Reaserch Guns,Build,Repeat
First Action: Reaserch new guns somewhere in Poland
[5] The guns are researched. They are good guns, and also very Polish.
Guns.
Try again. If I never succeed, I will never stop trying.
[1] The Cardboard Samurai is now totally and utterly incapable of ever developing reality-bending powers. He's still insane, though.
Name: Gnire Eni Gnees-Rever
Method of Defence: Reverse Engineering alien technology, both to duplicate it and find its weaknesses
First Action: Scavenge and reverse-engineer drones, starting with those that fell into the ocean two turns or so ago.
[3] The first wave of drones was only launched two turns ago, but Gnire is able to find the remains of some of the ones Joe shot down. Unfortunately, merely finding them uses up his entire time allowance for this turn.
Country Turn 3
[America: 3] Work on the mech (and various other weaponry) is still going strong, but corruption is growing.
[Europe: 6] Europe decides to pay for its debt by shutting down socialized healthcare, limiting Parliament meetings to one per year, and selling France to China. This will surely have no repercussions whatsoever.
Misc Turn 3
[REMOTE GUNNER: 3] The REMOTE GUNNER shoots down a bunch of drones, but it's mostly forced to stay on the defensive.
[Karuza: 1] Karuza uses a spray can to pain "kazuma is dum" on a wall. A policeman catches him and sends him to jail.
Alien Turn 3
[Drone Force #1: 2-1] The few remaining drones spontaneously malfunction and fall into the ocean.
Drone Force #1 has been eliminated.[Drone Force #2: 1] Spontaneous malfunctions are a big issue at the moment, apparently.
Drone Force #2 has been eliminated.[Mothership: 3+1] Tired of sending out inaccurate, malfunctioning drones, the mothership releases the
Space Bomber, an advanced ship controlled directly by an alien.
STAGE 1 MIDBOSS: SPACE BOMBER
