The Debating Room - Page 2

Sorry

skip that one then. Any ideas for a topical debate?

Kirov · December 21, 2002, 12:40

For future: I think that every debate in this room should end with the poll (with the exception of this one, becuase it was already polled).

Drogue · December 21, 2002, 12:51

That's a good idea. I'll do that.

Suggestion (after DBTS' recent unit requests):

Our military should place more emphasis on individual unit quality than overall numbers.

Or, is it a good idea to have best-1-1 units defended by 1-best-1 units, or should we have best-best-1 units, etc?

Maniac · December 21, 2002, 18:56

For our offensive forces, before we gain air control, I'd only to build best-1-2s to attack bases with speed and surprise, to make sure the defenders can't attack us before we attack them, and send some 1-best-1s along to defend the newly captured bases.

GeneralTacticus · December 21, 2002, 18:59

Wouldn't it be a good idea to bring along some 1-best-2s as well, to accompany the rovers in case they got surprised?

Drogue · December 21, 2002, 19:00

I agree with Maniac. Like the idea GT, will be posted.

This faction believes that not repeating the mistakes of Old Earth is more important than winning as easily as possible.

Well first of all we need to define what the mistakes of old Earth are, since until we have something concrete to work with its really a moot point.

Balance in this regard is crucial, a well trained advanced military force can withstand the assault of large numbers, but such a force would most likely be small in number. We should focus on units 1-best-1 for defense, since from the looks of it, the sentiment in our faction is that we do not want war, but we do need to be prepared to defend ourselves.

Hercules · December 22, 2002, 08:37

Build 1 best 1 for defense in our core homeland and some 1 best 2 for defense at the front line that can then accompany our rovers when the time comes to attack

Drogue · December 22, 2002, 10:33

I think when available, we should have a 1-best+t-1 (ECM and trance) and a 1-t-1 (AAA and trance) in each vulnerable base. This guards against all forms of enemy attack, and against worm rape. Having a couple of 1-best+t-2 for defending attack units, and a few Best-Best-Best, air to air flying needlejets for airial support is also usuful IMO.

Archaic · December 27, 2002, 12:31

And we're going to get the minerals to support all these from where exactly?

GeneralTacticus · February 20, 2003, 08:09

*BUMP*

Maniac · February 20, 2003, 12:25

Ah I suggest this becomes the non-SMACDG related discussions thread, such as the current one held in the CCCP thread.

Drogue · February 21, 2003, 15:09

I think that's a great idea. Anyone can propose things, since I'm not here enough to do it all myself

*fetches the tranquilizer dart rifles and cages* K, you get the rover and wait out front of the CCCP building for me to drag them out... I hope you have some sturdy containment cells here...

Maniac · February 21, 2003, 19:29

No problem. I just mobilized the entire missile infantry squad. That should do the trick. I hope...

Be careful, the specimens in question are known to continue fighting even when all hope is lost

The Pandemonium mayorship can provides you nervestaplers, X-Gas and portable Mini-Busters devices in case of emergency. Note that Pandemonium citizens nor CCCP members shant be threaten...

GeneralTacticus · February 22, 2003, 21:08

So, I believe we can add the manufacture of banned equipment and conspiracy to violate the UN Charter to the list of charges.

~~Uh, you mean we're not supposed to have stuff like that?~~

Oh, but of course you realize that "nervestaplers, X-Gas and portable Mini-Busters" is just code for "Compassionate, safe, non-lethal riot gear"?

Jamski · February 24, 2003, 06:25

Do we have to come and play here? Its nice and warm over at the CCCP. I have my browser set to open with that page.

Help I'm being repressed (remembers something from above and buys a gas mask)

OK - now I'm safe from the X-Gas, and I've been nerve stapled so many times its lost its effectivness. I just have to worry about the mini-busters
