This is a well-made simulation about the problems with WAR on terror. It's a good idea and realy pushes a point. Try it.

This is very inaccurate.

First of all, terrorists don't just wander around aimlessly in their town. In reality (something this simulation is not aware of), terrorists leave their home-town, go to other towns, and kill civilians there.

Second, most terrorist are not vengeful at all. They are fanatics. Osama Ben-Laden, for example, is a rich man, whose family owes its fortune to the West. Still, he is a terrorist. Similarly, the men he sent into the WTC and the Pentagon were not poor, hurt innocents. They did what they did because they sincerely believed that the Koran commands them to do that.

Lastly, it is much more likely that, after a blast, the civillians would go and arrest other terrorists themselves before the Americans or whoever shoot again.

That was pretty stupid. Was that supposed to show that when you kill someone, their relatives turn into terrorists.

So what you're trying to say is that we shouldn't leave any survivors? Well, I guess that would work. Good job! (sarcasm)

The_Dude · 10-15-2003, 04:03 PM

very cool.

this is very much the case in palestine.

reconmike · 10-15-2003, 04:58 PM

How come I cant send multiple rockets?

How come there are not any people crying over the dead terrorists?

Exactly!

Bah, thier must be an assumption of mass insanity for this to be accurate in the protrayed manner.

What are you talking about, I was thinking of the problem with not being able to use multiple rockets or nukes even. If everybodys dead there won't be any terrorists left. Problem solved.

I believe you missed the point of the sumulation. Are you implying that all of the people are terrorists? I believe the point was to show that terrorists (if that's the right word) are created by the actions of others. While too simplistic a message, I believe the point is a valuable one.

Sorry, I guess irony needs some

to be clear. Sometimes I get confused myself.

What, is this like the computer in wargames?

seretogis · 10-19-2003, 12:53 AM

Obviously, all of the people in that town were terorrists -- once you drop some of them, they kneel down to take their shoes off, and slip the civilian clothes off to reveal the terrorist outfit.

I think the point of the game is that we need a missle with a larger blast radius.

Astrocloud · 10-19-2003, 10:25 PM

This game isn't quite as fun as beachhead 2000... nor is it chess... however I agree with Seretogis' comments... Everyone on the screen was a terrorist. We need some nukes.

Am I the only one who went after the cat? I think he is the real mastermind behind it. Also, the kids have some weird growth serem or something. The double in size when they turn into terrorists.
