The Story
(Just note, this really didn't happen if you were just wondering)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was February 2005, a new year has just rolled in with resolutions and promises of global peace from world leaders. But something has gone horribly wrong.
On February 2nd, a computer malfunction in the US's aging guidance computers inadvertently launched a small portion of its nuclear arsenal. The missiles were deactivated before reaching their targets, and the story was quietly covered by the government.
There hadn't been a major war on Earth in 40 years. Due to the reduction in military and defense spending, the funding for missile silos globally tapered off and dwindled. The entire nuclear infrastructure was aging and crumbling.
One week later, detecting a false positive of a launch, a small island which no one remembers the name of (in fact, it was uncharted), detonated a surprisingly large nuclear arsenal at several key locations in the major super powers of the world, the US, the EU, the Russian Federation, and the Indo-Asian Alliance.
Maps were redrawn. The 4 super powers split and feuded, creating new alliances based on geography, the theory being that no country near them was responsible for launching the nuclear attack.
2 years later, US, Russian, European, Asian, and Australian nuclear missiles are fired and detonated in each other It was later discovered that the missiles had all received the authorization codes and coordinates from a single privately owned computer, but it was too late.
It is now March 2008. You must choose your allegiance and fight in the world's first NUCLEAR WAR...
The Rules
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Turns:
A turn is completed once everyone submits their actions. If a country does not post its action in 24 hours, it is assumed that they have taken no action.
Actions:
You may fire two nukes per turn. You don't have to fire all of your nukes. You don't have to fire any of your nukes.
Diplomacy:
This isn't just a popularity contest (think heal/hurt games). You may make secret alliances to take out a single player. You may fire no nukes and try and be on everyone's good side. You can back-stab your allies. You can fake alliances, lie, deceive, share other people's messages to you, fake messages, anything goes. Its your choice, and NOTHING is illegal. I recommend you do this through the PM system or over IM programs, keeping your alignments secret.
Neutral and Nuked Nations:
Neutral nations are controlled by me. Throughout the game, they will offer various opportunities and challenges that should help keep the game interesting. The neutral nations are also responsible for advancing the plot. They will generally favor the nation closest to losing.
Winning: Each alliance can handle 7 nuclear hits before it is out of the game. When an alliance is out of the game, their alliance is divided into neutral nations. However, they now have the ability to help me decide on neutral actions, and can decide the fate of the entire world. When only one alliance is left, they win.

Since this game is plot-driven, I suppose that geographic location actually matters.
I also think that most ppl probably have a bias so I'm a likely target.
Therefore, I am most interested in the status of my neighbors, namely, CIU and CIS? (not sure) -
Date: Wed, Mar 12 2008 20:57:45
Don't you mean AIU? cause I was looking at your post and it said CIU so yea.

Really there is no Deadline, but just send in your action in the matter of 24 hours. -
Date: Fri, Mar 14 2008 21:47:13
If someone nukes me this round, my last two nukes are for you.
SO I SUGGEST YOU LEAVE ME AND THE RAINFORESTS FUCKING ALONE!
(if no-one nukes me I won't nuke anyone) -
Date: Sat, Mar 15 2008 13:21:43

You threatening me? I wouldn't want to lose 2 health if I were you.
EITHER BACK DOWN OR TAKE A FUCKING BAD HIT! -
Date: Mon, Mar 17 2008 21:52:43

-
Date: Mon, Mar 17 2008 23:34:54
-4 health for whoever attacks me or Nolan. Doesn't seem smart to attack either of us
-
Date: Tue, Mar 18 2008 14:27:25
Nolan....Why would you want to go down in a sinking ship?
-
Date: Tue, Mar 18 2008 14:39:54

and the other towards the nukes that will Mats fire at me -
Date: Tue, Mar 18 2008 19:56:22
