Another of those fortress islands for sale, I think this one looks even better than the last one, only problem is, it's not it's own state yet and we will have to declare one, which is why this belongs to the Backroom I think. :2thumbsup:
an island paradise really isn´t the same thing if you don´t have coconut trees so that the naked indigenous babes can frolic under them...
seem like a nice pad nonetheless......does it come with broadband internet connection?...seems like a cool place to spend the winter....:book:
I remember the old thread!
The .Org nation should celebrate the national day playing M2TW in LAN all the day!
All we need is 4 million euros. I'm currently taking donations. ~;)
I think Tosa Inu should pay.Quote:

We can place our orders here. I think the Phoenix 1000 would hold all of the regular Orgahs in style ...
Hmm, still lacks nukes. Being a mobile, nuclear nation would be awesome.Quote:

The submarine comes at 78.000.000 $. We have +/- 20.000 members.
That'll be 3.900 $ each... Seems reasonable.
Got a cheaper one for ya, old russian sub only 15.000 euro, now that is a great deal. It's orange though.
Yes. :laugh4: We should poll our representative now.Quote:

In any case, an Org private island would be splendid.
* submarines to patrol the area
* tactical nuclear-capable submarines to launch sneak attacks on lands
* a new version of Metal Gear constructed by kidnapped military scientists -- with it we can launch atom bombs anywhere on the world
* the island fortress will have large built-in protected howitzer cannons to defend against sea attacks
* high-tech choppers to control the skies
* we will have spies to steal information from every other nation, military information, economical, etc., especially including the theft of military weapons/technology
* we will enforce an open WWIII (or is it IV?) by launching nukes on America and blaming the East
* we will provide monetary and military resources to third-world countries, including their own nuclear weapons
* we will control them all by having them fight each other, and while this occurs we keep the power in balance so that their war will never end and we will profit maximally
* etc.
* etc.
Ahh, the Org. If it only had this power :saint:
I see a certain problem with the end of your plan, it's no use to profit from a big war if the whole world including all shops is destroyed in that big war. Also to go shopping would be rather dangerous, not to mention the fallout.
Possibly. Of course by then our scientists will have developed rapid increase of artificial evolution to render humans immune to nuclear influence. We will then sell this technology. Only a few parts of the world would be struck by atom bombs anyway... no big deal :saint: Enough people alive. And there is always conventional warfare which we would have to constantly feed and manipulate. Improvise, constant war, constant profit.Quote:

Hey I live by the Solent! Those islands are a bit weatherbeaten, but are quite fascinating.
In addition to submarines, we're going to need unmanned robot combat drones to patrol our island fastness ...
... but really, why do I think that an island utopia founded by Orgahs would wind up looking like Bioshock?
Not really sure something like that would be useful for island defense. Since this is my "expertise", I would suggest these instead: MQ-9 Reapers :smug:Quote:

Man, those special effects look like crap. If they want to convince me, the new head of the Orgah Island military, they will have to use real explosives in their presentation.
I'll gladly take the position of mad scientists with unlimited government funds at his disposal...
I think we'll start by researching teleportation, then we won't need those big, bulky ICBMs...
Under water luxury subs? Private island bases? I go away for a week and the org comes over all Thunderbirds.....
Can I point out a fundamental problem with buying this island, which is you would have to do all your shopping in Portsmouth. Which is a hole.
Hey, as a local I resent that remark! While the city as a whole is indeed a hole (haha, so you see what I did?) the new Gun Wharf development is quite nice. All we need to do now is knock down the rest of Pompey and rebuild it. Preferably with adequate road access this time. Honestly, if only the Luftwaffe had done it's job properly....
Aha! I now have definitive proof that EA is in fact, Boris Johnson. Not only does he hide a keen conservative political mind behind buffoonery and wit, but he publicly restates his contempt for Pompey.Quote:

Bah, we take some of the new North Korean technology for defensive purposes.Quote:

And, where exactly would these tanks go on this island? I guess they could rotate their turrets.Quote:

It's just to show our military might. Though nukes would work much better.Quote:

A splendid idea eluded me but now has fortuitously arrived: the creation and training of deadly sharks armed with (underwater) lasers on their heads controlled by their advanced scientifically artificially influenced intelligence and heightened natural detection systems. They will function as militaries would, adjoined in units, with their respective shark commanders who are to be armed with rapid-fire lasers instead of the standard quick single-shot ones.
An array of lawyers is also required. They will have to be evil lawyers. Hmmm, but when one says evil lawyers one errs, for the word evil then serves redundancy :saint:
Laser armed sharks will provoke the attention of the octosquids. You don't want that. (For this reason I personally will be accessing our island via one man airship http://www.personalblimp.com/ rather than hovercraft, which are within a tentacle's reach of the water).Quote:

Lemur, could you explain how come a man who can afford a $125,000 personal hovercraft is wearing a tank top knitted by his granny? Or has he also invented time travel, and just arrived from 1974?
It comes as no surprise.Quote:

"Sea bass."
"Riiiiiight."
"They are mutated sea bass."
"Oh really? Are they ill-tempered?"
"But of course!"
"Hmm, its a start."
Thats why you form the octosquid secret ploice, then to watch over their secret ploice the octo squid secret secret ploice, then the octo squid secret, secret secret ploice to watch over the secret secret ploice ...Quote:

We need these;

I do at least, drooooooooool my own Warthog!!!
Too bad they planned to make only one. :no:
You can be my very, very special gunner ~:flirt:
:driver: <- Fragony
:smg: <- Husar
ok, deal. :flowers:
If you wanna get lovey-dovey you should probably go to the Frontroom ~;)
Why don't we buy the island, then levy a tax on all marine traffic.
A couple euros here, couple euros there, we could see some serious revenue.
Then we can move onto the subs.
And hovercraft
and ultra-cool black ninja outfits.
Okay, we could buy a pirate ship too.
Great, you can be our minister of economy when the coup sets me up as high commander of Org Island (the regime will be enlightened despotism of course). I'll even buy you the black body suit, eyepatch and parrot for you to command the ninja pirate crew.Quote:

You mean that we'll have an entire island filled with people that've conquered the world multiple times over and not even letting them running amok with weapon development? Not to mention the impossibillity of a proper war as we're unseen.Quote:

I don't know if we're the best placed to develop weapons. I think that shieldwalls and trebuchets are already outdated. But a war would be very proper if we put our ninja pirate crew to good use, people just wouldn't know who they are at war with.Quote:
