Just curious!

Immediately after encounter with Meyanda was resolved,without giving a time to rest or recover.Openly,and giving players a chance to surrender.

Because,you see,your players don't really know how much a threat Technic League is.Probably.
So you need to announce to them,that all that they've accomplished means nothing,because that man just claimed entire habitat in the name of Technic League.
Pushes quite a few players's rage buttons.

I have a question.

How do you repair:
this blasted reactor?I assume it's broken,so memory of function RAW works,but what else?How come in 15 years of 3/3.5/PF we do not have reliable way to repair such simple object as fusion reactor?

HE, yes, but the fragments do the primary damage.

No,that would be blast wave with secondary damage of fragments.Fragments are useful for high-speed targets(not civilian airliner at cruise speed less than 1m)

And while i'm personally do not have SAM operator degree,they were taught more or less the in same building.

I just love how MSM are trying to weasel their way out of MH17 thingie.
No dice!Because,you see,you do not have to be rocket scientist to know that SA-11 has a HE warhead(there are some shrapnel,but it's secondary),while number of high energy objects would be continuous rod
warhead(NOT available on SA-11,but available for substantial amount of AA missiles)...or a gun kill.

Well,thanks for clearing THAT up.

He provoked the Ukraine situation. He's gladly taking Crimea into his control. Someone looking for peace would have diffused the situation and said "no".

Yes.Let's say no to two million ethnic russians.I must stress again,it's not early 90s,when this were not only possible,but actually happened.

Irontruth wrote:


He's prolonged the Syrian situation by supporting the Assad regime.

I refer you to Libya to see what happens when "regime"gets toppled.

Spoilers:
People die,A LOT,country drops to the stone age that it will take decades to recover,at least.
Compare to near-socialist utopia a few years back.
Syria is no utopia,it will literally become hell on earth,which will produce more militants.
Russia supports Syria for one very simple reason.It's not that we're next,but we are pretty close in line.

I hear Georgia has had some problems too.

Yes.It decided that it actually can fire MLRS in anger on civilian city in

which russian peacekeepers were stationed.
If russians weren't so stupidly humane,now there would be no Georgia except in name only.Just look what happened to Iraq.
But russians understand that it's not the fault of georgian people,just one little dictator.

Putin is an imperialist

Well,OBVIOUSLY!Because you are either that or commie.

But he is clearly lesser evil.
He does not destroys countries for fun and profit.

Irontruth wrote:
100,000 dead is nearly 10% of the population which is quite significant for an armed conflict.

Even this is WAY higher than official numbers(and there was census there),and,what's more important,there were TWO chechen wars and period of lawlessness before them.

Dark One was present only during second war.He didn't even started it.
But by whatever religion is more popular there he finished it,and SO hard that chechen republic experienced post-conflict baby-boom as early as 2003.
Probably his kids.

but the people living there are afraid of what the rebels will do next...

No they are NOT.

They are living in fear of what the loyalists will use against them.
First there was artillery,then MRLS,then airstrikes,and now ballistic missiles.
What's next?

Instead of this we'll have to grin and bark at each other for a decade or two. Sad...

Yep,that's sad.But,like i said,every country has stupid rulers from time to time.Some survive,some are not.

I THINK that present situation is better then Balkan wars.

If they don't like him being gone they can vote him back in.

Nope,he isn't in the list of candidates.That ship has sailed.

BigNorseWolf wrote:


Thats why he resigned.

He never did.He agreed to resign contingent on that memorandum or something.Then the coup happened.

If he resigned,there would be no need for impeachment.
Can't you just read their constitution?And requesting foreign aid is in powers of commander-in-chief.And it's not in the constitution,it's somewhere in legal paper.Here's the thing,Yanukovich,i assume,knows more then me about legality of this.If he does this,he can do it.I think his words on the subject are worth more then yours or mine.If you want to argue-GL finding and translating these laws.Even i don't have this much spare time.

Georgia, the ukraine, Russia (yes, killing your own people is still killing people), Chechnya (see russia)

Georgia is still there,Russia didn't had violently supressed revolts in a decade,chechen republic voted 80+% to remain as a part of RF(does democracy mean anything to you?),and Russia tried to save Ukraine.

Remember that deal Yanukovich secured?

Nope.I specifically said MEN and added quotation marks to invasion.

Something's come up.
There is a man named Boris Filatov,he's right-hand man of Dnepropetrovsk's governor.Mostly manages supression stuff.Stuff like Special Batallion "Dnepr",which requires anyone who joins to have a military speciality,and,what's more important,has near an order of magnitude better wages then normal police or military.More or less a private army,thousand strong.

He,of course,has a facebook page.
So,for the delectation of the tread,i present two quotes from the man.
First is from today,second is from month ago,translated as i am able.

I thinked a lot about this revolution.There is only one way to think of it-it's the revolution of the poor...Our russian-speaking brothers from Donbass!Lost,misguided...we have a proposition.

For every returned gun there is a reward.For assault rifle-1000$,for machine gun-1.500$,for grenade launcher-2000$.
For every green man who is a mercenary(implied russian mercs,but RAW PMCs also count)....10000$.For every government building transferred-200000$

Here's the second,and this is good.

Oh. That's bad. This has the potential to get ugly.

Not unless Ukraine decides to violently supress the revolt.

Question is...where's the loyalty of local army lie?
Because,you know,it's border province.Should be A LOT stationed there.
Also,Donetsk region is about 10% population and something like 20% GDP of Ukraine.
Unlike Crimea,this is vitally important province.Revolt needs to be supressed fast,or else.

Oh well.That's what you get for trying to sell modern ICBM technology to...someone.

Sounds like a great idea, but even though it's a relatively short distance in global terms, I'm not sure we have the resources for the major feat of geological engineering required to move it 80 kilometers across the Bering Strait :(

For Science!!

Did you alter anything?

Minimal alteration.I added a few frescoes(sp?) descriptions and make Iomedae mention PCs by name.

Did you use background music or other methods of mood-setting?

I used transition from PC's briefing room in Drezen during said briefing to

Iomedae's cathedral to
Iomedae's appearance to
the rest of the encounter
Yes,music is my primary mood-setting tool,why do you ask?:)
