On what may be one of the most important days since the formation of the Raiders, I will reveal why you have all been so active on Russian soil, destroying and stealing from their weakened democratic government. You're goal has been to distract the government while some friends in the Russian military make preperations, and you have succeeded! Early this morning, two large convoys safely entered the Ukrainian border containing advanced military equipment and over 600 Russian defectors. Welcome these men, for they fully believe in our communist ways. Congratulations Raiders, we have more than doubled the number of fighters in our organization."[/QUOTE] [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/103735282/2015-08-09_00008.jpg[/t]

[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;48417829] Also, Lucky, as nice it is of you that you're improving the Wiki, I'd appreciate if you could notify me (and the other players) when you're making semi-large changes to faction pages. It's a bit spooky getting sudden emails telling me someone else edited my page. [/QUOTE] I'm not doing anything major other than standardizing the info boxes because FT said it was a good idea when I asked him about it so we'd not all have massively different info boxes. I'm not editing your text areas at all because that's stuff that is important. Just consider me a janitor like Scruffy. Edit: Also, trying to connect to the Internet with a 4G LTE cell phone tether is a bitch and a half in the Mojave between Vegas and Primm because cell service is shithouse.

I'm so sorry, please forgive me noobness and use your imagination.

I made a transparent version of your BPC logo and put it on the wikia; that white border really needs to go. Edit: [url]http://espionage-wars.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Phoenix_Corporation[/url] Edit: As I mentioned a few pages back, turn up your graphical settings before taking a picture. Use DropBox instead of Imgur because it compresses the fuck out of your images. Also, use the poster command if you want higher detail pictures, and check your proofs before editing or uploading them to make sure they have proper graphics settings, because once again none of yours have AA or higher graphical settings.

What is that little silver thing beside the tree. Like is it a Bouncing Betty or something?

Try setting filtering mode to trilinear

[QUOTE=F T;48421491]Try setting filtering mode to trilinear[/QUOTE] I'll do that and let you know how it goes.

[QUOTE=Lucky9Two;48395499]I was going to make some poses about my intel guys grabbing what we could on the nuke-happy VU but I can't until I get back from DEFCON. Intel collection is basically what my faction does besides constantly practicing and training in case of an invasion of Ireland. Edit: So I did some calculations based off of previous radiological explosions, and if the Hanover bomb is actually twice the size of Odessa, which was estimated to be ~20 miles radial, that means the spread would likely look similarly to this: [t]https://i.gyazo.com/74e8447028e7fb7bfc7ee9c7ec93f4a1.jpg[/t] That's accounting for atmospheric drift. I'm basing this off of Chernobyl where radiation was measured as far as the US in some areas and across most of Europe, since that's the closest payload I could find to what we're dealing with here.[/QUOTE] Remember an important thing - the bigger nuke, the less fallout, even moreso if it was an airburst style explosion. Most of theareas would be pretty safe fairly quickly afterwards. The big fallout danger are nuclear plants, since those will put out a lot more fallout. it's also the reason why the bigger nuke, the less longterm fallout - most of what could cause trouble will be annihilated in the explosion. It's also why dirty bombs are so bloody nasty. They aren't nukes, they're conventional bombs which include a lot of radioactive material to be spread about.

[QUOTE=wraithcat;48421634]it's also the reason why the bigger nuke, the less longterm fallout - most of what could cause trouble will be annihilated in the explosion.[/QUOTE] Tsar Bomba was the biggest nuke ever, at 50 megatonnes, yet it was also one of the cleanest nuclear explosions in terms of fallout and radiation. Castle Bravo on the other hand... Edit: I mean Tsar Bomba's shockwave knocked the bomber over a kilometre lower into the sky [B]AND[/B] had so much kinetic energy that it [I]stopped the fireball from touching the ground[/I]. And that was only HALF the intended yield because they replaced some of the fuel with more inert fuels.

[I]Today, Papilon Solutions' Operational Commander Simon van der Linde made a televised announcement from the Republic of Tbonia.[/I] [QUOTE=S. van der Linde]"As of today, Papilon Solutions, PMC is pulling out the majority of our contractors from Tbonian efforts, and returning them to reserve duty or moving them to other theatres. The ongoing situation in Hanover, and Germany in general, is changing the scope of our contract, and we are moving to accomodate. Further details of our updated contractual agreements with Tbonia will be announced once they have been finalized. We also have a new contract that we will be detailing in the coming weeks."[/QUOTE] [I]Coinciding with the announcement, an estimated 300 contractors and as many vehicles have left Tbonian soil, apparently returning to South America.[/I] no pose cos lazy fuck and new models are not made, but Papilon returns with a vengeance, in theatres 2016

I pretty much completely re-wrote the GSAF's wiki page. I'll get around to making one for the SSR eventually.

Yeah you all go ahead and blame Leviathan. Come at us and see what happens. I already have my endgame planned out. Mwahahahahahahaha.

Massive suicide?

[url]http://espionage-wars.wikia.com/wiki/Socialist_States_of_Relawi[/url] [url]http://espionage-wars.wikia.com/wiki/Vice_Union[/url] I went ahead and made pages for VU and SSR. Fill them in if you want to.

That muzzle flash effect is gorgeous, along with the flames. Good job johau!

And that goes for all of you really not just the sysop.

Come to think of it, who IS the sysop of the wiki? Edit: The sysop/bureacrat rights would be given to whoever started the wiki and whoever else the OG sysop gave rights to. Edit: I made the new VU page into a redirect to the old one with the weird name. That should solve the issue. Edit: So did the Odessa bomb build up the same way the eventual Hanover bomb is going to? With one guy pulling out (Tbonia at Odessa, Blue Jeans at Hanover) and then everyone else just dogpiling in? Edit: I mean we all KNOW that Hanover's as toasted as a pasty white boy at the beach with no sunscreen. Edit: I think depending on how much content gets posted, we're going to get less than 10 pages until Hanover gets bombed. Maybe page 12. Edit: [QUOTE=FloaterTWO;48435415]And I appreciate the work you're putting into the wiki, but you're kind of doing a bit too much in places. I'd have preferred if you didn't make the SSR's page because I'm in the process of re-thinking their name.[/QUOTE] If you decide to change it we can just rename the page; Wikia is a pretty versatile system.

It wasn't a nuke in Odessa. We've been over this before, it was just a big dirty bomb. I believe Jenkins made the wiki in the first place, but I may be wrong.

Yeah, no offense meant for anyone about the wikia, I'm just trying to make it top-notch like the F:FoW wikia I run. It's why I didn't edit any of your main page texts besides grammar errors, because that's all your guys' IP and I try to respect the effort you guys have put in. I just want to contribute in a positive way since I'm not a great poser like most of you guys.

I think the lot of us appreciate your work and enthusiasm, you just need to communicate more with the rest of the players.

I had nothing better to do this morning so I wrote up a page detailing some of the conflicts we've had: [url="http://espionage-wars.wikia.com/wiki/Major_conflicts_of_the_Global_Espionage_Wars"]Major conflicts of the Global Espionage Wars[/url] I tidied up and re-wrote some of the timelines I'd written up a while ago. I don't have one for the conflict in Japan and I don't have one for the recent conflict in Germany, so those have been left blank. If anyone wants to try filling those in, then please stick to the same format I used.

You want me to knock up the timeline for Syria?

If you want. I forgot there was even a conflict there. As I said, if you try to keep it to the same format that'd be great. I had to go trawl through the old threads to research the conflicts that are up there, but it's hard for older conflicts because so many images are now broken.
