Unconventional Weaponry and Asymetric Warefare

What is the official stance on unconventional weaponry? I’m not talking about Nukes, they are unnecessary anyway. I’m talking satellite surveillance systems, a certain chemical in say a certain nations water supply that infects the kidneys, or perhaps a microwave like machine that emits vibrations that eventually results in the breaking and shattering of water pipes, or maybe lacing unmanned aerial drones with a metallic coating that deflects signal waves making it immune from radar or satellite detection, it should also be pointed out that these things do exist.

I believe they should exist. Having terrorists with viruses etc.. makes for good plots. No Avatar

Plus it would be a good thing for my nation to use in the Hamish spring.

If these are allowed, they'd still be limited by your nation's capability to create these things (depending on your attributes), however there must be a way for the target nation to discover the perpetrators, and something that can't kill off a nation's entire population before they have a chance to react.

Sure, but I think Baal wants to release a toxin to put into the water supply in the Rhomais areas where the Hamish spring is happening. I have learnt not to mess with that guy in terms of asymmetric warfare.

To be honest, I am not too sure actually... things like this could potentially cause problems in the future.

To be honest they won't cause pernament damage in most places. For the most part they don't fry environments and produce nuclear winters and the like and it adds plots like what if a chemical weapon is set off in a subway etc. If your concerns are about abuse of it make it so there has to be agreement on both sides of chemical weapons being used.

I'm against unconventional warfare because it often leads to god-modding.

It all comes down to technology, I'm for devices that enhance player storylines but I do have an issue with "Drumtroddan uploaded the Skyfall virus into the Goldecian computers and at a flash the approaching Goldecian bombers dropped out of the sky" type of thing.

Yes the problem with this type of warfare is because it prevents players from reacting before being decimated by one of these items, that is why nukes are banned, and likewise I believe similar items be banned as well.

I believe with permission of both sides they should be allowed . E.g if me and Nihon agreed that we'd use EMP or a chemical terror attack would happen then that should be allowed but if say someone just sprung it on you then it should not be allowed. No Avatar

I will never agree to using EMPS, or viruses that can shut down entire computer networks or anything of their like. It's foolish and ruins all the fun of the game.

As long they are only used as some sort of plot device I don't see a problem with it.
