TheRoadToDawn 0 Posted March 21, 2007 I was checking out CnCDen and found that Lion had found an article from Possum Observatory in NZ. The credit goes to Terry Lovejoy for finding a GREEN comet in space. The site is http://www.possumobservatory.co.nz/comet2007e2-lovejoy.htm "Congratulations to Terry Lovejoy from Brisbane, Australia on his photographic survey discovery of a magnitude 9.5 comet in the deep southern sky! IAU Circular No. 8819 states - COMET 2007 E2 Terry Lovejoy, Thornlands, Queensland, Australia, reports his discovery of a comet with a strong central condensation and a green extended 4' coma, with a slight extension to the southwest, on sixteen 90-s CCD images obtained on Mar. 15 with a Canon 350D camera (+ 200-mm f/2.8 lens); the coma diameter was given as 5' from his Mar. 16 frame (his positions below have estimated uncertainties of +/- 15"). At Lovejoy's request, J. Drummond (Gisborne, New Zealand, 0.41-m reflector) confirmed the comet visually at mag 9.5 (moderately condensed, coma diameter 2'.6, no tail)." CnCDen has already called it the Scrin Deathstar or a Tiberian rock. This is open to more speculation. But if its tiberium (or anything related), C&C is about to rock this Earth in ways that we only see in a video game. Share this post Link to post

illumenatis 0 Posted March 21, 2007 Lol, trust me. When Tiberium hits this world, you wont know what hit you. Actually, that reminds me of something...I actually tried to make tiberium in my 7th grade science class. We got some stuff to mix and I actually got green crystals....sadly, though, they were as cold as ice and shattered from the touch of a thin hair. Share this post Link to post
sith_wampa 6 Posted March 21, 2007 If Tiberium really did hit Earth, Louis Castle and Joe Kucan will be very important, never mind rich, people. Share this post Link to post

TheRoadToDawn 0 Posted March 21, 2007 One nerd can only imagine: The creation of Nod by nerds(no offense intended) and those who wish to destroy the west. The Global Nations uniting. The third world war raging in Eastern Europe and Africa all because of a strange green crystal. :wink: Share this post Link to post
illumenatis 0 Posted March 21, 2007 Lol. Ive had my thoughts on creating Nod. I actually [when I was in the apparent cult stance of CNC that we all share a part in] developed a plan to reunite the Soviet Union, destroy the US, lose, then form Nod and reap the world. I was a nerd way back when. :oops: Share this post Link to post

Saracen 16 Posted March 22, 2007 Lol. Ive had my thoughts on creating Nod. C&C almost got banned in the UK at one point for inciting cult culture. Some local guys who got obsessed with the game ended up shooting someone in the name of Kane. It became national news at one point, and EAUK were even forced to release a statement on the behalf of Westwood at the time to prevent a possible ban of C&C in this country. I like to immerse myself in the story, but there is taking things too far. Pretending this asteroid is something from C&C is a serious case of attack of the nerds, and that's quite disturbing. It's OK as a passing joke, but taking it seriously? I must be smoking too much weed lately cos I swear I'm seeing things! :roll: Share this post Link to post
illumenatis 0 Posted March 22, 2007 Lol, dont tell me you never had those thoughts at least once. Its perfectly possible for Nod the organization to arise, but Tiberium...no unless some nerd goes kuku for cocoa puffs. Besides, im past that now anyways. But its fun to think about when you have too much time on ur hands Share this post Link to post

Guest Auronguardian Posted March 22, 2007 It will be interesting if it lands in a farm and some country boy comes up to it and it melts his face off. Share this post Link to post

illumenatis 0 Posted March 22, 2007 But wait...we need the soviets to reappear first. Then we have to kill Stalin...then we have to deal with Nod....im a loser I know. :lol: Share this post Link to post
sith_wampa 6 Posted March 23, 2007 Well that's what you're getting. Iran and Russia are pals now and are playing with nukes against the will of the UN. Sounds to me like it could be nod. Share this post Link to post
Luk3us 63 Posted March 23, 2007 I mean seriously, what noddies could stand against three orcas? Its called a sam site... When Nod appears and GDI needs orca pilots, they'll let us. I doubt GDI would ever allow anyone under the 18 mark anywhere near a $2 million dollar machine. Whilst Nod on the other hand... Share this post Link to post
