I could launch two missiles. Who should I fire them for?

You're not part of the War -.-" (yet)
(You can join but you need someone else to do so too because then the teams will be uneven.)

and besides this isn't a Missile (Short Story) Challenge.

Can I join the red side,
Its rappunk23 btw

Rappunk, you need someone else to also join with you so that one side isn't bigger than the other. That way it is fair.
So hopefully someone will also be interested to join, or that you can persuade someone else to join.

Miz, I could say a whole bunch of nasty things, but I won't. :)

Well you wouldn't be versing that said person you would join the opposite team where you would be challenging against them.
Letting you be independent would cause some problems, but that is possible, however I really do not want to do that.

Teams just a reminder, if you didn't read the PM I sent you earlier today, that you have less than a week to get it done, but if both teams petition for more time. I will extend the deadline by another week as it is the first challenge...

Update - New Team Created, Team #3 - The Wordsmith Battalion
Members of 3rd Party: rappunk23, thewrongvine

Third Parties often exist in Wars, the Wordsmith Battalion is simply an organization, call it a sort of 'terrorist' type of thing in the map. They are deserted military officers or runaway captives, whose history will hopefully be explained by the Team. As such they are a separate military group, that will enter battles randomly, in hope to control land.

If they are to win a battle, and beat both two nation teams in a challenge they will receive the land around the battle that the other two nations would have received if they won. And if they control enough land you might actually consider them to form some kind of a 'nation'.

This team will have their own set of characters as they move from setting to setting.

For them to win the War over-all, they need to destroy both nations or put them into anarchy where you can easily take over them.
! However, the other two teams do not need to destroy the Battalion to win the game. They can simply ether ignore the other team, and take over the other nation or another tactic would be to keep them from winning challenges. If the latter is the case, and they can not win any challenges, they maybe forced to dismember and join the other teams as Mercenaries or just drop out of the game completely. (To make it realistic)

Be Prepared Generals of the two mightiest nations in Writain for now there is a third party looming in the shadows that might just win the challenge. So crush them before it becomes too late.

Challenge #2 - Battle of Rivering Edge (November 3, 19XX)
Parties Involved: The Freelancer Federation, The United Dramatist Union & The Wordsmith Battalion.
Type of Challenge: A Memoir Grenadier Strike

Requirements: A short to medium length Autobiography or Memoir by your new main character, explaining his life so far and what he hopes to accomplish.
MUST BE WRITTEN IN 1ST PERSON! (Can be in Journal, Autobiography or Letter format, whichever you please, but I would suggest Autobiography)​

Now that you have some idea how your nation is set up, and how its culture is, you can now develop your first main character, or one of them. This character is very important, for he or she will lead the readers into the story about the War and how it relates to realistic people. It allows the Readers to become enchanted in the story of heroes, victories, defeats, and of course villains...

So for this challenge:
you will write a short to medium Length Autobiography or memoir of your main character by him/her. This autobiography should explain the family, the past, and the overall life up to this point, and how he/she got to where he/she is. The Possibilities are unlimited, however it must be logical realistic. Is your character an extremely luck man who somehow survived multiple incidents and events, or is your character a strong General with a secret past, or a war-struck veteran who has lost all hope, or even a rookie solider just going into battle for the first time and comes back a better man. Your character doesn't even have to be a Solider ether, he/she can be a love one, a merchant effected by the War, a citizen of the nation, a politician, hell even a spy or traitor to your enemy nation. It all depends on what you and your team want to do. So let the best character win!

Time Line: 2 Weeks
Deadline: Sunday by 5 PM EST (GMT -5) November 15th

Primary Rewards: 4 Points to the Winning Team.
Additional Rewards: Aircraft - Allows Battles to be taken one to two blocks away from the last battle, allowing invasions to be more devastating, quicker and more efficient.​

Random Idea/Hint: Make your character original and unique, have multiple sides to his personality. He/she shouldn't be just a flat figure but be human and have flaws and gifts that will hopefully give him and advantage or a disadvantage in your storyline.

Current Battle Map:
The Freelancer Federation: 42 Points | The United Dramatist Union: 48 Points
The Wordsmith Battalion: 0 Points

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
