Question
Is this real: "A previously light weather system intensifies unexpectedly, causing Great Britain's largest amount of rainfall to date this century?" —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 00:37, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

No. If it were real, I'd be sure to put it in red. Woogers 00:38, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

OK. I'm not sure if weather is legal though. —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 00:41, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

I'm only implementing the pre-designated directives of Detectivekenny. Woogers 00:45, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

I don't think weather is legal, because unless Yarphei actually has the technology to do that, that's altering Real World events. —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 00:56, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

HEYYYYYYY That's Cheating! You wouldn't have known if I hadn't told you. And besides, it has to take time for you to gather together these so called "dehumidifiers". Woogers 01:11, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

You haven't heard of those things that weaken hurricanes?! (And don't tell me about them in the future :P) —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 01:13, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

I have no complaints against the technology that backs the action, but the action itself. You should be busy focusing on the Falklands, and ignoring the storm as a freak chance of bad luck against the British. And even if you were suspicious enough to run dehumidifiers through the storm, it would take time to prepare and get to Britain first. Woogers 01:15, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I'll take time to prepare and get to Britain first. —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 01:19, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I guess I'll have to move plans up a day. I was trying to stretch it out cause I have to make this war last until at least next Monday, but you forced my hand. Woogers 01:27, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

No one is fighting to my knowledge... but in the tune of South Park's "Blame Canada" song: "BLAME THE GYR, BLAME THE GYR" United Planets 23:02, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, just wanted to have a little fun. It's ironic that the VLA initially conquered xxxx square kilometres of juicy land, and then it decided to take some timy wasteland islands and the whole world reacts. Anyway, this war is technically at a stalemate. Whatever one person does, the other retaliates. Let's just go on with the war, and just before the hurricane strikes, there is a treaty where the Falkland Islands go to Yarphei, all other territory returned. Is that acceptable? Detectivekenny 23:12, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

No, we are going to dehumidify the hurricane until it is no more. —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 23:14, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

You can have the Falklands long after its population has been evacuated completely. Both Everett and the UK refuse to allow free people to fall into the hands of tyranny. United Planets 23:16, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

No you can't. We should make our own Weather controlling technology and launch a massive typhoon at Yarphei, how 'bout that!? —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 23:20, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Depends on what direction its from. If its from the Indian Ocean, there's a chance I'll be affected by it too, which isn't good. Woogers 23:22, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Yes it is because Yarphei won't get weapons. Great idea! LOL JK —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 23:25, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

... If Yarphei gets monsooned, then where am I supposed to get food? Woogers 23:27, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Like I had said in the above section regarding weather control.... "I dont want to see F5 tornados touching down in London" and storm systems are bordering tech limits enough but to generate hurricanes especially something in the category 4-5 range is pushing the limit. United Planets 23:28, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Have you kept up with current events, TM? Yarphei has successfully diverted typhoons before. And only Yarphei has that technology. The weather control stations are located on the seafloor. They number in the thousands, and would be impossible to find completely. They are powered by ocean currents, and only Tranh has the remote controls. Basically you will never find them. You can dehumidify for all of eternity, but of course it would interfere with nature's real hurricane cycles. And also, there needs to be a deciding battle. Say it's a battle under water to destroy the weather stations in the Gulf of Mexico. Then the treaty can take place wherever. And UP, you've done enough to Yarphei. I think a hurricane bluff should be allowed. Detectivekenny 23:32, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe we should destroy the controls (i.e. destroy tranh chup-yar [not city]) and then dehumidify. —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 23:36, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

I let you declare war on me, but not kill Tranh Chup-yar. Besides, you have no idea where he is and neither do I. Detectivekenny 23:37, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Cant kill leaders without permission but if Tranh wants to launch hurricanes at civilians, Everett is more than happy to level Tranh Chup-yar City or Saigon. United Planets 23:42, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, chill. You can do what you want with Saigon, but I have permanent offices in Tranh Chup-yar City. That would be devastating to the global economy. Woogers 23:45, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Look at it this way. Everett uses droids so no one is killed. They are very cheap, and come at little cost to Everett. But Yarphei is using real people, because of its ethical beliefs. In conventional warfare, the point is to get even. If this is conventional warfare, then it is right that Yarphei get even by killing civilians. If this is not conventional warfare, then it is perfectly fine that Yarphei do considerable damage. I just don't see how it's right to get even when you're manufacturing droids cheaply. Well, the rules are that in war, you can destroy only military stuff. Obviously that's not fair, as droids aren't losses. Either you let me kill civilians, or you not kill any VLA members. Detectivekenny 23:51, February 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * He said LEVEL the cities. Not kill enemy combatants in them. Level as in Nuke and/or Orbitally Bombard them. Nuking Tranh Chup-yar city results in global economic pain because of the Federation's role as the World's second largest economy and the possible disruption to that economy. Woogers 23:56, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

That makes no sense. If Tranh is going to commit acts of terrorism against civilians then fine he can do it but then Everett is going to have no choice but to defend its civilians from harm by any means necessary. And Woogers, I forgot about that, lucky for Tranh, his capitol wont be destroyed because of the EAF. BTW, Tranh has the option to give this up at any time. He started it and has no right to complain regarding getting pwnt by fusion weapons and droids. In fact, had he not invaded Wales (whichI still dont understand why), he would have completely avoided conflict with Everett and most nations. United Planets 00:00, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Well, he started the war, but in the real world, there aren't Future World rules made and enforced by someone on the opposing side. What ever happened to IAR? Detectivekenny 00:03, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Massachusetts Tornado
It has nothing to do with Tranh Chup-yar. Detectivekenny 00:43, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

The more he messes with nature and the weather, the more random incidents of unnatural weather will occur. Jet stream shift is only the beginning. United Planets 00:48, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, how about some cold current changes course right into Yarphei and extincts half the fish there? Or the gulf stream changes course? —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 00:52, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Wait for him to keep alterign the weather. The more he damages it, the more severe the climate gets. United Planets 00:54, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

*headdesk* How do you know that random things like this will happen? This isn't your little storybook, and you're not (forgive me if I'm wrong) someone who can predict weather patterns based on vague facts on a website. Maybe the dehumidifiers caused a snowstorm in coastal Ecuador. Or maybe a butterfly flapping its wings did so. Detectivekenny 00:55, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Because look at our real life climate as a result of climate changes. We have like NO snowfall this year in New York, which is bizarre, I've never seen so little yet TONS of it in the south... even snow in TEXAS!! I have never heard of these things before. Now imagine some jackass constantly altering the weather patterns, making drastic changes in temperature, precipitation and other things in places where it does not belong (tornados in Falkland, hail and snow storms in Vietnam, hurricanes in the winter months, record heat in the winter in the UK. This kind of damage and alteration would cause severe changes in climate and weather patterns, throwing off the normal systems. United Planets 01:01, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

What part of New York are you in, cause I'm buried under three feet down here in DC, and its STILL snowing. Also, can't wait for tsunamis off Tokyo, let's do it. Woogers 01:03, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Upstate NY, Albany region. Hell yea lets make this some Day After Tommorrow shit. United Planets 01:06, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I don't like the idea of you changing the weather for your own benefit. Give me a proof of why the stated alterations will cause a tornado in Massachusetts and I will leave you alone. Detectivekenny 01:11, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Every country will be hurt by it. Also Woogers, tsunamis are tectonics not weather so that wouldn't happen. But flash floods would be good. . . —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 01:12, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

War Protests
FYI the Buddhist protests weren't necessarily anti-VLA. They were mostly because of all the Buddhists being killed in Yarphei. Some were anti-VLA, but most just wanted a simple and easy solution, i.e. the westerners surrendering. Detectivekenny 02:06, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

In the western world, the protests are anti-VLA. Most are made up of Vietnam War veterans, immigrants who previously lived in Yarphese controlled territory, British citizens and others. United Planets 15:47, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

Project Stormfury. Detectivekenny 02:43, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

So, what's wrong with it? —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 02:44, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

After that, the western world decided to give up trying to dehumidify hurricanes without breakthroughs. I see nowhere that the western world has made any breakthroughts since then. Therefore, the technology doesn't exist in the western world. Therefore, any dehumidification is from a pre-Project Stormfury era. Project Stormfury failed. Therefore, any new use of that technology (or earlier) will likely fail. Cascadians have high IQs. Therefore they are not dumb, and would not do dumb things unless they had to if they considered long enough. Trying something that will fail is dumb. Therefore, Cascadians would not do those things if carefully considered. (like my proof, lol?) Detectivekenny 02:59, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

I see nothing wrong with why it shouldn't work, especially if you also used dry ice. How do you control weather? Bad idea, because Weather modification in warfare has been banned by the United Nations.. —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 12:47, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

Like there's been no defiance of the United Nations before. Woogers (lol what hax) 17:10, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

Yarphei should be sanctioned right now for this. We are preventing and restoring normal weather, you are making random storms and hail. —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 22:19, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

The UN is superannuated. There is now PAFF and CEAS. But seriously. The western world hasn't tested weather control as intensively as Yarphei, so Yarphei deserves to use its technology. Look at all the treaties overturned because this is Future World. The use of droids was never delegated to countries. And Yarphei isn't just doing bad with its weather control. Just today Yarphei sent planes over to Rio to lower the temperatures to about 32°. Tranh would also be happy to provide snow for the Olympics for about US $1,000,000. Detectivekenny 22:46, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

We stole your weather control, we could compete with you. Our bid is US $900,000. —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 01:27, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

Which counties are you using, Woog? Detectivekenny 22:51, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

Taipei, Taoyuan, Yilan, Hsinchu, Miaoli, Taichung, Hualien, Nantou, Kinmen, Lienchiang, Changhua + Keelung C, Taipei C, Hsinchu C, and Taichung C. IF that's too much, let me know, and yuo can have Changhua, Nantou, and Hualien. Woogers (lol what hax)

Just curious, but are you using Wade-Giles or Hanyu Pinyin for the EAF? Detectivekenny 23:22, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

That seems about right. But I think I'll take Changhua/Zhanghua. Detectivekenny 23:27, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

I've not begun my cultural investigation yet. I've only done an economic-political investigation so far. Which would you recommend? Also on a semi-related, yet distant topic, I can't decide whether to use natural Surname Givenname or western Givenname Surname for articles. I'm kind of torn between what I'm used to and what it is. You're culturally adept, so I though't I'd ask. Woogers (lol what hax)

Hanyu Pinyin is more efficient, so I would recommend it (of course I have several of my own systems, but this isn't the place for marketing). However, you will have to rename most Taiwanese counties and cities. Taipei is Taibei, Taoyuan is still Taoyuan, Yilan is Yilan, Hsinchu is Xinzhu, Miaoli is Miaoli, Taichung is Taizhong, Hualien Hualian, Nantou Nantou, Kinmen Jinmen, Lienchiang Lianjiang, Changhua Zhanghua, Keelung Jilong. Taiwan is still Taiwan. And I think that you should use surname-given name. Isn't that what you are already using for Korean names? Besides, you don't usually see Zedong Mao, Jintao Hu, or Kai-shek Chiang or anything like that. Detectivekenny 23:43, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

Yea, the split surfaced when I got to Korean names. They didn't sound right Givenname Surname, but I didn't want to change the Japanese ones I had.Woogers (lol what hax) 23:45, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

Well, the reason there are imperial measurements is because they are the most intuitive. China and the ancient Peruvians both used measurements eerily similar to the imperial foot. Then came the quantitative revolution and a need for simplification. Detectivekenny 03:19, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
