Death count

[Supreme Soviet]

Will Defcon have a place you can look to see the number of people that have died? Because what i'd like to see is a number you can look at that tells how many people have died in your country, and one to see how many have died worldwide.

I guess it would be interesting to be able to look and see casuality numbers and watch it skyrocket after a nuke hits a city.

sick...but I like it

[Darksun]

I think deathcount is going to be one of the key scoring points in the game, possibly along with financial/infrastructure damage and such.

[daset]

Oooo...

Make a line graph, no even better, make a bar graph/pictograph that is measured in skulls...or something...

Then make it so you can click or something and hear the screams. Get personal bios that you can read of people you killed with avid descriptions of how they were bbqed. I know that would make me hungry.

...

Ok, I'll shut up now...

[Gravitron]

Death Toll or some sort of Destruction Meter is a total must.

The kind of count i would find the most enjoyable would be one where you would have a number that was there in the bottom corner or something and as a nuke hit you could look and auctually see the number
rapidily skyrocket.

[Phydaux]

Well lets hope the count is in megadeaths, or we're going to have some huge numbers on the screen

Yes, I had this in mind... sort of like a website counter...and as the nuke it hits it rolls up by the thousands. This could be accompanied by a ringing noise as the counter increases

[Luigi300]

Hehe. Kill totals listed in megadeaths.

[Supreme Soviet]

It would also be fun to have competitons to see who can inflict the most casulties in one large strike(with the least casulties suffered in return).

Sick.... yes, twisted.... yes, pure and utter fun.... ABSOLUTLY!


P.S: Excuse the spelling error in "absolutly".

Get personal bios that you can read of people you killed with avid descriptions of how they were bbqed.

It would be impossible for them to include 6 billion bios and still have
it be able to fit on anyone's comp.

Yes, it was a joke. Okay, a very sick joke, but that was the mood I was in at that moment.

[Phrage]

may i inquire what a megadeath is? i guess its a million deaths?

Yes. As in SI notation:

one death = unit
deca = unit x 10 (decadeath = 10 deaths) = unit*10^1
hecta = unit x 100 = unit*10^2
kilo = unit x 1,000 = unit*10^3
mega = unit x 1,000,000 = unit*10^6
giga = unit x 1,000,000,000 = unit*10^9
tera = unit x 1,000,000,000,000 = unit*10^12

deci = unit x 0.1 = unit*10^(-1)
centi = unit x 0.01 = unit*10^(-2)
mili = unit x 0.001 = unit*10^(-3)
&c.

Thus, one centideath is the death of one hundreth of a person :) Perhaps a really bad cut.

hmm i wonder at what point the amount of cuts ive received over the years totals one death?
i wonder then how many times ive died, heh
