Maybe he has, but decided to his play cards close to chest? On the other hand ... maybe he just wants to drag things out a bit.

I guess pop-tarting is your version of endo-tarting? I only counted just over half that number to date.

Greetings to you Nephmir, and welcome to TWP! I have passed on your message to one of our 'Top Brass" and he will undoubtedly be in contact with you 'ere too long. In the meantime, you can always apply for a military career in The West Pacific Armed Forces by providing details at: http://www.westpacific.org/forums/index.php?/forum/9-the-west-pacific-armed-forces/

Yes, cerialously

Is there a thread of evidence for that?

Or the dope will get the dope over the chocolate

Well, Rockandrollia you should be a star in our regular Friday Karaoke session. Watch for entries starting that day on the Regional Message Board Se ya there!

Old soldiers never die, ...... Stay with us.

That would be through the Diplomatic Bag presumably?

How about including a chocolate smuggling option?

Don't be shy now Here's a chance to strut your stuff by drafting out some humorous prose. Come on TB, you can do it!

Thanks for that BBD It might just be that once an infected nation gets to the stage where only 1 or 2 million are being 'saved' by cure missiles, we might do best to move the 'big hitters' onto cure another nation and leave the 'smaller hitters' to finish off.

Do I understand correctly that it was your intention to import some of your puppet nations from Haven status regions to TWP to improve our own survivor numbers? How intriguing - us lesser mortals had no conception of this ploy There must have been a team of y'all working very hard behind the scenes! For my part, in the last hour or so, I just kept checking on our delegates for infections whilst sending cure missiles to nations on the list which Autonomica had built. I did not see any of the really big guns on the list but did alert that Southern Eureka should be a priority target at one point. Was there a cure missile team working on the highest populations as a priority? Sorry to keep asking questions but I want to learn. What happened to Ostroeuropa - disappeared off the scene and was replaced by ...? As an aside, my efforts to see which nations fared well by TWP nation size is proving to be rather difficult - AGP was unable to give me an easy route so have gone for going through the list as per the World Census Report to find the large nations! So far I have 8 nations in the >20 billion population category. This is probably a nugatory exercise but maybe this week the Report will be on Population

Dark, you said "Many of us, myself included had large population nations in protected regions which reached Haven status. I had intended to coordinate some immigration of those nations before the end of the event, but I could not manage to get that organized and rolling." I do not understand the "protected regions" or "Haven status" - could you tell me what they are please?

Before we lose the Z-3 data, is it possible to find out the populations of TWP nations in descending order of size? I was hoping to look at the top 50 or so and see how they fared. So far I have looked at Dark: 99.71% (why not 100%?). AGP: 100%, PD, 100%, Southern Eureka: 100%, and WEP: 99.38%. I appreciate that some large population puppets were imported for Z-3 but I thought it would be interesting to see the details of survival %.

I agree that we must concentrate on keeping our largest nations at 100% infection free, especially those five which were designated during Z-3, viz Darkesia, and four others (can't remember which now). I kept regularly checking to see if they were so because when their owners are 'off line' resting, they are vulnerable to zombie attacks.

I agree that during the last phase (last hour or so?) of the apocalypse we should set a figure of zombie cures by missiles which when reached (1 or 2 million?) means that cure missiles must be targetted on a nother nation when so-directed to by our Zombie Control Center if and when we have one. However, to do this too early would, I believe, mean that infected populations of the former nations would be increasingly likely to suffer from zombie attacks. This plan, of course presumes that Max does not introduce a change in the last phase of Z-4 such that nations which have a mixed population of survivors and infected, are specifically targetted by zombie hordes!

Now that the dust has settled, maybe it is a time to reflect on how TWP performed during Z-3. Perhaps we need to put together a small team to produce a 'lessons learnt' from Z-3 and make recommendations to TWP heirachy on how to improve our performance for Z-4, and review any issued guidance for participating nations? Dark did show us the light but maybe an earlier issue of routines to be followed etc, might have given us a greater than the 400 or so TWP nations who had set their nations to Research a Cure? As a starter. I have one suggestion. Nations targetting cure missiles an hour or so prior to apocalpse-end, should cease curing nations when only 1 or 2 million 'souls are saved' per missile. At this point, nations firing cure missiles should rapidly move on through the target list, thereby making our cure strikes more efficient. Whilst this might not seem a tidy way of doing business, it would increase our number of survivors in a given time. Any volunteers to start this process off? There must be many who are better at NS Zombie Apocalypse gameply than me, but I am happy to be part of a team to help 'pull together' the 'report'.

Loved it!

Perhaps you could add more detail to your message as I'm not sure what you mean?

Unless you feel leery about any potentially threatening nations, and as the upper endorsement cap has been lowered, it seems that the good ship "TWP" is in very safe and capable hands

Sorry, I did not make myself clear I was interested to see if any nation(s) had recently exceeded the upper limit of 70 endorsements, for whatever reason(s), such that you had to advise/warn them.

Do we have any nations at the other end of the spectrum? I'm keeping a small 'breathing space' for insurance purposes

I've always been fascinated by Mars since I was a youngster and read H G Welles' War of the Worlds and later by Jeff Wayne's musical version

Or as they say here in Texas "Real purdy"
