What was that, an "Trumble Inside" ManPADS?!

BTW, you said you were installing a cannon... May I suggest an 88mm FlaK 37?
It's old but you couldn't get any more stylish, and so good it's still in use... During the WWII the Allies dubbed it the 'anti-all gun' as it could be used in the roles of a AA gun, anti-tank, field artillery and even coastal defense... Besides, its muzzle velocity of over mach 2 reduced infantry to a red haze (just as you like)!
There was this book I read once, "The God of War", where an army of deserters fought simultaneously against the Americans and the Germans trying to save a small Italian town, and they used '88s to great (or should I say, grating) effect. I've Googled for it, but couldn't find it. :cry:
You know those who, having been mugged and stabbed, fired, dog run over, house burned down, wife eloped with best friend, daughters becoming prostitutes and their countries invaded - still say that "all is well"?
I'm obviously not one of them.

I'm not sure, this project is reills' baby, but judging from the enhanced crossbracing and massive reinforcements to the foundations, it's a biggie. Hang on, I just found a brouchure on his workbench.

Oh, boy!

other than bots...I've seen botnet...but I don't think that would necessarily be used in this situation...although I suppose it's a possibility...from what I understand a botnet is a collection of bots that is controlled by one person...but I can't swear to that...I do know that a group of crows is a murder...
Is there anything more enjoyable than watching a hOOpy casino collide with an open wormhole and get transported to a poor lawless system

The only thing I say for it is that it is large. LARGE, but not quite as useful - nor stylish! :roll:
Besides, you still have to get some sort of anti-aircraft point defense (for those planes that drop leaflets, tow banners over the beaches, etc.)

I suggest using a Big Bertha style gun (which shot a 1-ton shell) or one of the 2-ton shell one (can't remember what they called that) for anti-aircraft...hideously ineffective...but it's bound to be a funny sight...

Code: Select all

"ATTACK_SPAMBOT" = 
{
        ENTER = ("scanForNearestUserWithRole: spambot");
        "ATTACKED" = (fightOrFleeHostiles, setTargetToPrimaryAggressor, "commsMessage: [insult-spammer]", performAttack); 
        "INCOMING_SPAM" = (fightOrFleeSpam, "commsMessage: [spammer-nuisance]");
        "ENERGY_LOW" = ("commsMessage: [senseless_bravado]", performAttack);
        "TARGET_FOUND" = (setTargetToFoundTarget, "commsMessage: [insult_spammer]", performAttack); 
        "TARGET_DESTROYED" = ("commsMessage: [victory-gloating]", "setStateTo: LOOK_FOR_SPAMBOT");
        "TARGET_LOST" = ("setStateTo: LOOK_FOR_SPAMBOT"); 
        "NOTHING_FOUND" = ("setStateTo: LOOK_FOR_SPAMBOT");
        EXIT = ();
UPDATE = (performAttack);
}; 
That should take care of these bots!
