Earth As They Know It - Less Abusive Version

[Swat 3]

No one loving knew that you introduced it into this thread.

no one other than op

you used the permission as OUTSIDE INFORMATION to place it onto the moon
no one knew where you placed it other than you

This means that you went to the place where no one knew where you hid it while no one knew you introduced it into this thread.

so yeah it is kinda godmodding because you made it nearly impossible for others to get it from the start.

you incorporated the knowledge of the fact you had permission from the OP outside of the earth RP, to your country's knowledge of where to go to find the unknown-matter-to-everyone-else.

I said in an Earth thread somewhere where I can't quote it, that XM is found near to stars (And other places where I won't disclose for the sake of this RP's discovery progress) on celestial bodies with little atmosphere or magnetosphere.  Earth, since it has both, will not provide a suitable amount of XM.

[Swat 3]

That really isn't sufficient knowledge. I probably didn't even pay attention in that thread about the origins of XM.

Other threads =/= this thread. Some people may be new to this and have never played any Earth threads. I don't remember this information, and even if I did, I would have never known that you were going to have gravitanium in this universe.

Since I didn't know, I didn't even bother to go to the moon.


Again:
powergaming in a way.

I'm sure its not hard to snip out a picture or copy+paste it here.

[Swat 3]

And not only that, you said you are going to send a full explanation of out-of-knowledge XM that you surely know, and not everyone else will.

Countries are not the people that are roleplaying them. You cannot communicate information that your country cannot simply know without stumbling upon it.

"ok guys lets go to the moon and them restrict any landings for no particular meaning, hey, maybe to see if the moon rock matches the earth!!!"

Because these were not good enough clues that the UFA is trying to keep something secret, something that could hold a strategic edge over you.

The NUF digs up old designs in an old Seattle military base.  The details are kept secret.

The first drone arrives back from the moon, carrying an unknown white subst-- [Transmission Interrupted]

The second and third drones will return in 2 months and 5 years, respectively.

The money goes into project Hyperbolic Pinhole.

UFA claims the upper half of South America.  Both probes return and discover plentiful sources of- *Transmission Interrupted*

What little of this newly discov- *Static* is going to be *static* a- *static*

The transmission ends.

Months later, hundreds of rockets take off across UFA and begin setting up facilities on the moon.  The rockets themselves are taken apart and are used as construction materials for the new moon base.  UFA releases a statement that if anyone but Kestroga lands on the moon, they will be shot down.

I'm sure its not hard to snip out a picture or copy+paste it here.

That is true.  I'll grab it when I find it.

Found this

"For all who don't know, Shadium belongs to a branch of matter, called xanionic matter, as opposed to the fermionic matter that we see today.  Shadium is an extremely dense and heavy gas that acts almost like a high-viscosity liquid.  It drains light from enclosed spaces due to its unusual electromagnetic properties.  In open spaces, it still drains light, and makes for a fake black hole look.  To Shadinize something is to treat it with Shadium.  Shadium will also drain electricity or Mutricity when it is too near to it.  Helps protect against energy-based attacks." - SWAT One

[SWAT One]

Shadium is a Brisionic Xanionic Matter, it's the last XM to be discovered in the entire XM order of discovery.

Looking through Earth 6.5, where Gravitanium originated, there are pages and pages of posts that Swat 3 made when Xanionic Matter was in common use.  Swat, do you really have any room to say "I didn't know about this"?

[Theepicman]

Can you provide a link? I want to see.

[SWAT One]

Can you provide a link? I want to see.

Starts here:
Swat 3's nation post.

Still looking for the location post.

Found a ton of incongruous posts all over many threads.  I am sorry that this was not made clear.  The moon is opened up for tourists of all nations.  UFA tour companies rake in dough.

[Swat 3]

SFR citizens do not go.

one does not say that the SFR cannot ban that, and neither can my allies. SFR suggests to their allies that they do not let their citizens go to the moon.

you still have your embargo against me and I am not allowing my citizens to give you money that needs to be in our economy, not yours. Besides, because of the embargo, the SFR currency is worthless to you.

I want full access to the loving moon right now. You made it so that you can go on the moon by yourself alone. No one knew what was up there, and you set all of those plans and hoops to make yourself look like you aren't trying to get up there to get what you already know is up there when no one else knew was up there.

[SWAT One]

Who said monopolies have to be fair?  When petroleum was discovered, everyone said "what the forget is this black gooey stuff?"  I sent probes into space and even reported I found mysterious substances.

I said that I launched hundreds of rockets up to the moon.  Should have taken the chance before I enforced sovereignty.

...Okay then. Because...

NEU DISCOVERS SUPER DUPER MAGICAL SOIL DIRT stuff NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT IT BUT US BUT NIW WE HAVE ALL OF IT SO TJEM WE USE OT AMD WE BLOW UP THE WORLD AND THEN THEY FLY AWAY BECAUSE THE SOIL CAN FLY

nah this topic is just getting too dumb and abusable, i'm leaving.

[Rockinboy2000]

As it seems everyone is now suddenly slamming space stations and moon bases everywhere and half of the thread is arguments now, i took the liberty to fix some things so it isn't as abusive


1. The huge FTL trade never occurred (as everyone suddenly argued about this stuff, take the liberty to edit out stuff if you need to)

2. The FTL system is now BROKEN for Etrarctia (This is to make sure there is not huge giant space race until later)

3. No huge high-tech bullstuff until later

4. I anybody even tries denying this post and keeps with the space race, i will remove you from the nation list, i've been busy and coming back to this stuff isn't making me any happier.

okay i guess im back in
