Do I need to write lyrics? sing a song? Play the carol of the bells on a sonic tiberium abatement system?

For the work, to run the globe,

Don't sing. Don't know how to write songs. Need help.

Huh so if we save them up for the future, that's four 1s averted, on the other hand I suspect we're not going to end up saving them properly.

We could always save them for Scrin Piñata rolls. That way if we roll too low we still have a chance to get more Scrintech.

Mining around tiberium
At the green rock glacier spot
Railguns up where NOD can see
Every militant'll be shot
Mining around tiberium
Let the sonic blasters shout
Later we'll have some fungus bars
And rationed "chocolate" stuff
You will get a developmentalist feelin
When you hear
Voices voting let's keep building
Up The Philadelphia
Mining around tiberium
Even round the holidays
Everyone out a-caroling
Plus singing anti-NODdist prop
You will get a sentimental feeling
When you hear
Barghests crashing from some failed runs
And the Mecca defenders cheering
Mining around tiberium
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily
In the New Doc Granger Way

We wise Discordburo
To the tune of 'We Three Kings'
We wise Discordburo are;
bearing plans we plot from afar,
post and spreadsheet, schemes to defeat,
following yonder goals.
Refrain:
O graph of wonder, graph of light,
graph with royal capgoods bright,
upward leading, targets exceeding,
number go up is right.
[Refrain]
Born a King on SV's board,
Nat 100 I bring, the QM's sword,
Loved forever, yet rolled never,
now we humbly roll.
[Refrain]
Free dice to offer have I;
resource owns a technocrat nigh;
graft and cursing, timelines blursting,
progress costs too high.
[Refrain]
Reaction post; I come now to doom
lives a life of gathering gloom;
sorrowing, sighing, whining, crying,
sealed as the cold dice fall.
[Refrain]
Glorious now our prideful lie;
Format, game, based on a die:
"Is it average?" "Bellow average?"
sounds through the earth and skies.

Take a christmas carol, and instead of whatever it is about (usually things like peace, love, and joy) make it about planquests.
Even if this does not win, I am going to be using sections of this at minimum, because it works so well as a Brotherhood song.

At some point after Tib War I but before Tib War II GDI independently discovered artificial gravity and proceeded to add it to anything that needed it, including the Phillies. That's about all we know.

I'm...still skeptical? The Philadelphia cutscenes from Tiberian Sun and Tiberium Wars can be interpreted as people walking with mag-boots.

I mean, there's a guy sitting down but even if not the gravity thing is what ithillid has been running with.

...Chair-mounted butt-magnets?
C'mon, anyone who's ever sat in a really comfy recliner knows that this is a plausible technology.
The teams that made the games didn't think about it all that much, GDI space stations in the games have a serious case of "designed by art majors, not engineers" disease. If you squint you can kinda pretend that they stick to physics as we understand them but twisting the cutscenes into pretzels to try and justify it like everyone's in zero g wearing mag boots isn't what the actual art team was going for. The Philly's rooms are all designed like there's a clearly defined floor and ceiling, everyone's walking exactly how they would under gravity instead of doing a mag boot shuffle, they pretty clearly think there's gravity in there. The astronauts on spacewalk also don't have any tangential velocity and just rotate with the station while the missile that nukes it flies like it's in an atmosphere, the team that made the cutscene wasn't thinking the physics through in super deep detail.
So what Ithillid's rolling with is that GDI has some primitive artificial gravity tech that we developed.... somewhere, somehow, and is useful for simulating gravity in space and not a whole lot else. In other words, don't think about it too hard it's just a setting quirk established by the previous writers before we got to it.

You have two plates and between these two plates you can create a force that seemingly acts like gravity. That's all the mechanical detail that exists.

Its there, we just didn't do it since we'd get a more immediate benefit from doing ICS
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Actually, we could totally have done the ICS and the Hovertruck Chassis development in parallel, because the Hovertruck is a Heavy Industry project, not Infrastructure.
We didn't do that because we had (and still have) pressing obligations that could only be met with HI dice. (But we should totally still do it ASAP--better launch vehicles may be under that particular rock.)
