Let me see if I understand this correctly:
If I am asked to "Explain the theory of evolution" and I answer with "God made everything" I can NOT fail the exam even though I have clearly NOT answered the question?

In America is there such a thing as a Religious Education class? If there is they why is it so vital that relgion be allowed in the science lab?

I almost closed it reflexively (I usually hate rap music and videos), but I gave this a chance. By the middle, the Kalashnikov part, I was bouncing along to it. smile

"I guess over there, if somebody blows up your stuff, you need to show a stuff upper lip and British pluck and it is hoped H.M. Government will take the matter in hand.  Over here, somebody blows up your stuff, you gotta send that bastard to Hell.  Al Qaeda, the Capone gang, the Sioux, the Japanese, whoever.  Because it's your stuff! How's a man gonna get ahead in life, people keep blowing up his stuff?   That's some serious drama right there!"

I think it is more about not giving the bastards the satisfaction, showing them that we really aren't afraid, and no matter what the terrorists do it will still be business as usual. Or to put it in a way an American might understand better: The post will still come wink

How's that?

Planet Killer... how the smeg could that have sounded like a good idea?
Anyway:

A VOTE!

Option 1) Roll back to post 24/25 in the current S:TS
Option 2) Roll Back to just after the assasination of the Emperor in the previous (and theoretical) S:TS

Whichever way you vote that Galactic Map will still be useful.

It's not just one person, it just seems like everyone is more concerned with intergalactic dick waving than creating an enjoyable, and believable, story.
Yes, pulling three million warships armed with guns that fire galaxies out of thin air in an effort to one-up the last posters two million ships armed with mass-drivers IS entertainsing if you are a writer, but as a reader?

See, part two was cool: The remains of empires from accross galaxy trapped on one planet having been stomped all over by an overwhelming force so large it ate galaxies for breakfast, their only chance? A daring assassination attempt that would cause the empire to collapse into disarray and infighting as everyone made a grab for the Emperor's throne. No longer a unified force the empire would then surely face the wrath of a thousand races grieving for a billion lost loved ones.
That had drama. That had tension. That was RP!

But this? In the two years since the end of the war everyone has rebuilt their homeworlds (most of which were decimated as they had been gigantic battlegrounds) and re built their colonies, thus establishing an interstellar infrastructure capable of supporting these empires AND the construction of MILLIONS of warships AND have enough babies to man these ships (which seem to need millions of people each)?
Does that sound like a galaxy that was on the brink of extintion just two years ago?

I tell you, Europe could have done with some help from these guys builders after world war two! smile

And what the smeg happened to the cloaking device? Why did that escape plan suddenly become a hyperdrive jump in an atmosphere? Not only do I not have a clue what's happening any more I don't think any of you do either! lol

And why exactly does the planet killer need a fleet of 2000000 to protect it? In fact, if you can make 2000000 ships why make a planet killer at all? I'm pretty sure 2000000 ships could easily deal with a planet.

Sorry but apart from the Logan's Son thing this RP is about as dramatic, tense and predictable as a wrestling match...

...

I think we should start again while we still can.
I don't mean to be an arsehole, but I think I made some good points.

Wow... You people are totally addicted to Deus Ex Machina.
"They have two million ships!"
"Don't worry, we've just built three million!"
"But there isn't enough rescources in a planet to build a hundred!"
"Shut up"
"Where did we get that much ore from?"
"Erm... Jesus?"

No offence but if this carries on I'll have to leave, you are all leeching all the fun out of it. It's too easy.

Invading North Korea would cost lives, risk nuclear war with China, and destablise the region.

As it is, North Korea will merge with South Korea in the years to come. Please, for the love of god/your country/McDonalds, stay away from North Korea. <

It was my subtle way of saying I would have supported the Iraq Invasion if the Coalition had said from the beginning that they were going in to do what they should have done in 1991; End the Ba'athist regime, rather than jabber about WMDs or whatever else.

The same applies to Iran. If the US said "We are going to invade to end the Clerics rule and instill true democracy" I would not have a problem. As it is this nuclear excuse is about as believable as Einstein announcing his marriage to a Muslim girl.

If America invades North Korea, with a view to ending the reign of the "People's Party", I would support that.
But only if they were honest about it.

"No, the water's quite good to be honest, just not suitable in large quantities, probably because of the chloride in it.."

Ah, I know what you mean. The last time I was in London someone had been very liberal with the chlorine, but that could have been to counteract the problems common to old pipes as the water tasted alot like cheap canned beer, all metallic and chemical.


This reminds me of something that bugs me: I live in a country with water standards so high you can drink the toilet water (assuming you've cleaned your toilet) yet people inist on buying bottled whater which, as mentioned earlier, is of a much lower standard. And more expensive per unit come to think of it.

The question is what is the point of marriage? For me it is love.
