Lyrics

Maybe it's the way you say my name
Maybe it's the way you play your game
But it's so good, I've never known anybody like you
But it's so good, I've never dreamed of nobody like you
And I've heard of a love that comes once in a lifetime
And I'm pretty sure that you are that love of mine
'Cause I'm in a field of dandelions
Wishing on every one that you'd be mine, mine
And I see forever in your eyes
I feel okay when I see you smile, smile
Wishing on dandelions all of the time
Praying to God that one day you'll be mine
Wishing on dandelions all of the time, all of the time
I think that you are the one for me
'Cause it gets so hard to breathe
When you're looking at me, I've never felt so alive and free
When you're looking at me, I've never felt so happy
And I've heard of a love that comes once in a lifetime
And I'm pretty sure that you are that love of mine
'Cause I'm in a field of dandelions
Wishing on every one that you'd be mine, mine
And I see forever in your eyes
I feel okay when I see you smile, smile
Wishing on dandelions all of the time
Praying to God that one day you'll be mine
Wishing on dandelions all of the time
All of the time
Dandelion, into the wind you go
Won't you let my darling know?
Dandelion, into the wind you go
Won't you let my darling know that?
I'm in a field of dandelions
Wishing on every one that you'd be mine, mine
And I see forever in your eyes
I feel okay when I see you smile, smile
Wishing on dandelions all of the time
Praying to God that one day you'll be mine
Wishing on dandelions all of the time, all of the time
I'm in a field of dandelions
Wishing on every one that you'd be mine, mine

Lyrics

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinkin' of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it
Inside, we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it
Inside, we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

In NationStates' N-Day event, incoming nuclear attacks can be intercepted using Shields. The effectiveness of Shields in neutralizing incoming Nukes depends on the size of your nation's Shield Bank and the number of incoming Nukes. The rate at which the Shield Bank shoots down Nukes per minute is determined by the formula:

MAX(MIN(0.15 * FACTION_INCOMING, 0.25 * SHIELD_BANK_SIZE), 200)

where:

  • FACTION_INCOMING represents the total number of Nukes targeted at your faction.
  • SHIELD_BANK_SIZE is the total number of Shields available in your nation's Shield Bank.
Given that 1,413 Nukes are targeted at your nation, and assuming these are the only Nukes incoming to your faction, the calculation would be:

  1. Calculate 15% of the incoming Nukes:
    • 0.15 * 1,413 = 211.95
  2. Determine 25% of the Shield Bank size:
    • 0.25 * SHIELD_BANK_SIZE
  3. The number of Nukes intercepted per minute is the maximum of these two values, but not less than 200.
To intercept all 1,413 Nukes, you need to neutralize them before they impact. If we assume Nukes take approximately 3-5 minutes in-flight before impact, let's use an average of 4 minutes for this estimation:

  • Total interception capacity required: 1,413 Nukes over 4 minutes = 353.25 Nukes per minute.
Setting the interception rate equal to the required rate:

  • MAX(MIN(0.15 * 1,413, 0.25 * SHIELD_BANK_SIZE), 200) = 353.25
Since 0.15 * 1,413 = 211.95, which is less than 353.25, we use:

  • 0.25 * SHIELD_BANK_SIZE = 353.25
Solving for SHIELD_BANK_SIZE:

  • SHIELD_BANK_SIZE = 353.25 / 0.25 = 1,413 Shields
Therefore, to intercept all 1,413 incoming Nukes, you would need approximately 1,413 Shields in your Shield Bank. Keep in mind that this estimation assumes all incoming Nukes are targeted solely at your nation and that the interception mechanics operate as described. It's advisable to maintain a surplus of Shields to account for any variables or uncertainties during the event.
