View Full Version : Creepy Stuff Going Down at the North Pole...

Alright, so I'm going up there to abandon Bernard with the promise of there being cake, cookies, and ice cream on the shoreline. So we get up there a few days later from Wilhelmshaven and we throw him off. Well, that's that, but I decided to take a periscope peek under the surface of the ice.
We dive.
As we are descending, I get a major warning from my main man at the helm that:
"Pressure hull damaged, sir! Diesel engines destroyed, sir! Torpedo tubes destroyed, sir! Radio destroyed, sir! Rudder destroyed, sir! Dive planes destroyed, sir! Flak gun heavily damaged, sir! We have critical flooding, sir!"
My first response is, "WHAT THE ******* IS GOING ON?!?"
Bernard just kind of stands there on the shore and watches us in our ordeals slowly going down, but the blind bastard was distracted and amused himself with a penguin for the next 15 minutes.
We hadn't even passed 17 meters when this happened!
So, my final case is 14 crewmen drowned with the ship, VIIB lost at sea, and we're stranded, ONCE AGAIN, with Bernard, THE MAN WE WERE GOING TO ABANDON AT THE NORTH POLE WITH LIES.
DAMN YOU, GOD! DAMN YOU!:damn:
EDIT: Just so you know, the part about us diving and being destroyed at 17 meters at the North Pole is true...
... and so is the part about us wanting to kill Bernard, but that's not important.

At least you tried!
The first Nautilus had only slighly better success than you. At least she survived!

Obviously access to a the later SSNs is much more restricted and controlled then to a VII as the later Nautilus succeeded in it attempt. :D
Otherwise Bernhard would have crept in the '50s aboard as cook, helmsman or engineer (imagine that on a SSN)

:hmm: Where in heck did the penguin come from - at the North Pole? Or did you mean walrus (easily confused when snow blind, or so I'm told) :rotfl:
In a thousand years no will care, so get laughing now I say. :rotfl:

That's the kind of @$#*! that happens when you try to get rid of Bernard. It'll only come back to haunt you in some way, shape, or form.:nope:

isnt there like a big wall at the north pole? just like a big underwater cliff?
if you were trying to go under the ice you probably hit this wall IIRC

The game doesnt carry on from North all the way to south again
Does from east to west and back though
I guess the SH3 world ends there so you die

Day 1:
Hardly any food or water. Bernard continues to play with that penguin. He's going to make me shoot him.
We sank off the coast of the North Pole, as your friend, Mr. Logbook (who's still inside the sub) knows, and we're screwed indefinitely.
Trying to get secret computer up to SubSim to contact emergency rescue squad for m- I mean us (except Bernard).

I suppose it can't, because if you could go under the ice from the Atlantic to the Pacific you would disappear off the top of the map on the Atlantic side and reappear at the top of the map on the Pacific side. Whereas from east to west you just disappear off the east edge and reappear on the west edge. It wouldn't be geographically correct if you disappeared off the top of the map and reappeared at the bottom of the map. If it did it would be instantaneous travel from North Pole to South Pole.:huh:

Oh wow, thats what you get for trying to kill Bernard.
This is the reason I'm not going to get rid of him, it would just kill us all. In very, very horrible way.

Day 2:
Still, that damn penguin teases Bernard. He's like a damn child in the manner that he plays with it. We're all thinking about eating that stupid bird...
It's colder than frickin' Hell in the days of the Goths. Gravity is quite a bitch up here. Just one more day would be nice.
Ferdinand is starting an ice collection. So far, he's up to the whole damn island.
In another note, Bernard still sucks, and I hate him.

You DO realise that any rescue attempt that occurs will also inadvertantly rescue Bernard in the process which will open the doors for a whole new mess of catastrophes on the way home as well. You just have to resign yourself to the fact that the more you try to get rid of him, the more that's going to go FUBAR while you're doing it.:nope:

He stays with his penguin friend and his lies of cake, ice cream, and candy or whatever the hell we promised him!:shifty:
