Martial Law! Who's side are you on?
June 28, 2011 at 4:34 pm
(This post was last modified: June 28, 2011 at 4:49 pm by JohnDG.)
Me and a friend are playing a stupid game in which were really researching into, the game is called martial law obviously and the goal is to pick a side and develope your plans to crush the other. Although we both agreed we'd be against it in real life for the sake of a challenge he's playing the government and me civilians. This game is actually getting pretty in depth because the government has a good amount of known bases and some unknown, using this knowledge of military bases, military armorie's and other stockpiles im drawing out my plans to fight back. My first stragety will focus on possibly being completely annihilated by edward's airforce base, since I happen to live nearby it is my first target. Hopefully If taken it should neutralize a good part of american air power. Being plenty of military vehicles throughout our city im pretty confident that a large civilian force can overpower swarming and commedere edwards as an opening act in a new war. Knowing military personal in my town id say we may be able to use the planes there, or burn it to the ground. Using numbers I will rely highly on well armed and military trained gang members and civilians, yes allot are military trained sadly and there's about 4,000 gang members here where I live. Currently im only able to grasp in full understanding the capabilities of fighting back in my city, but I cannot speak for others as I live only here in antelope valley and will mainly be using guerilla tactics.
So far theres plenty of farmland for food, plenty of small military vehicles, plenty of mountain ranges to hide in and large confusing neighborhoods with lots of dead ends and desert trails. However I don't believe there to be many if any tanks here, so any large scale mechanized attack will quickly overpower us as we do not have the arms to stop them. Ive located a few old ww1 and ww2 abandoned military bases, although these will probly be checked i figure some may be forgotten and overrun by nature they should world perfectly.
Please draw out your force's and plans for your city, as i will keep researching and planning on mine. Keep in mind our advantages are number's, resource's, and surprise. But our resource's will be our greatest weakness as most cannot move.
Remember, we the civilians have the largest light mechanized force in the world. =) millions of cars! I will update my plans later. Feel free to play either side.

If you're on North America, then let's see if you have game. Or are you "too good" for competitive SC?

Not a fan of strategy games...I do not have the patience. If anyone wants to play some FPS online I am in.

There is a game called People Power: A Force More Powerful ( http://www.peoplepowergame.com/ ) reviewed by the Voice of America.
The object of the game seems to be exactly the reverse of the one you describe: starting as an individual that is fed up with government control of media, propaganda, military, and political power; your objective is to build through non-violent or guerrilla means, the ability to control your own media, shape popular opinion, raise resistance movements and revolts, and topple a military regime.
I have not bought it yet, though I intend to. The price is US$10, though if you can explain in a letter to the game creators why you cannot afford this and intend to use it as an educational tool, they will waive both price and shipping.

Oh, Starcraft2 is a child's game now. Of course, how could it be among the premier video game sports in the world after Brood War in South Korea with challenge and skill attached? Obviously... it takes as much skill as chess. Those luck-loving kid-friendy people... I beat them as black nine times out of ten and only fail when they get powerups as a crutch.

Honey... you just suck. Put out or shut up.
Also, I am anarchist. A few gallons of gas and a couple of matches and I can topple your government. And even hit your girlfriend by accident.

Typically, I refrain from nitpicking about spelling and grammar. However, I couldn't resist because the context was so tempting. Before you call things childish, learn that: the plural of games has no apostrophe, whatsoever is a single word, the contraction of I am has an apostrophe, might as well is not one word, the brand name of a board game should be capitalized, kindergarten has nothing to do with gardens and finally, the plural of kindergartener does not have an apostrophe. Have fun being all alone with your mature games.

Yeah, but I stopped after he went bonkers when he lost. Guy doesn't know how to handle a loss.
