How is that at all /thread? -- Doom, let Hex build his silly elephant hunting gun. If he ever uses it in a war against anyone he'll get mauled to death anyways, since you can only fire like 1 bullet per minute with those things.

Greece guarantees the independence of Japan, and will come to its aid if the United States attacks it.

Player:Dusty668 Leader Name: Miltiades National Anthem: Random Fact: The term 'marathon' in modern context came from the legend of a Greek soldier, who, after the Battle of Marathon, ran all the way back to Athens to deliver news of the Greek victory, so that the city did not surrender to the Persians coming by sea if they managed to get there before the Greek army arrived. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Marathon IAG: 112,058,000,000 Treasury: 112,058,000,000 Infrastructure: 1 I'll figure the rest out later. My first act is to begin research on a new lineup of personnel weapons, as well as improved body armour. Improvements to the the roads and infrastructure of Greece has also begun. If we start without a military, incentives are given to join up. Projected monthly gain of new recruits in pegged somewhere around 6-8,000.

What a surprise :rolleyes: I expect you'll also start off by researching AI and exosuits, yes? Zz -- I will be taking Greece.

... No.

Because it's worked so well in the past hasn't it...What with the page after page of argument....People not reading and giving up because actually its boring as hell to read through an argument that goes nowhere(though quite fun when you write it, if you look at the below*) [hide]Anywho, magic... Well you would just summon some sort of magic resistant monster...Dragon for instance... Honestly, its just the same as 'Technology'...I build a massive laser and shoot your 10,000 man army. I drop a bomb which kills 10,000 people. I launch a missile that kills 10,000 people. I train 50 soliders with massive lasers and kill 10,000 of yours. I release a virus that kills 10,000 of your people. I crash a spaceship into your city and kill 10,000 people. I hook a generator to the Effiel Tower and zap 10,000 of your people. Only real difference is that you can switch from 'I build a tank with ablative armour and multidyne tracking softpoint countermeasures with laser-guided anti-missile-missiles.' to 'I summon/train an Orc with a hatchet' Or you switch from 'I launch three ICBMs with a FOAB duct-tapped between them' to 'I summon a thunderstorm over your city.' The PM system means that, instead of 'If you do that I do this', it means 'You have done this so I do this to stop it.' 'Thunderstorm kills 3,000 people but then is dispelled', 'Fine, I retalitate against A with a giant fireball of death' 'Fireball destroys a vital bridge and stops troop movement in this area' 'Awesome' makes a much better exchange than: *'I launch my nukes, well I launch my countermeasures, well I launch more nukes, well my countermeasures intercept them, my missiles are stealthed, you can't have stealth missiles, I can, No you can't, I still get past your countermeasures, no, I did, no they are invincible! No thats unfair, well they can intercept a billion missiles, fine I launch a billion and one missiles, omg you don't have that many missiles, no but your tech is stupid, no its awesome, no its stupid, look clearly you don't understand the horse and cart, that analogy is completely irrelevant, no, yes, no, yes, my missiles blow your capital up, no they got intercepted, no they blew your capital region up, I blew up your captial!, what?, yeah with a billion missiles, you don't have a billion missiles, neither do you, fine I have a billion strong defence, no!!!!! I REVEAL 43526436234623452355 TROOPS IN YOUR CAPITALS!!!!! OWNAGE. [/hide] It would depend on how childish people wanted to be...since 'magic', like 'technology', can blow anything up if you have enough of it...if people are going to research 'NOOB ATTACK' weapons then, obvouisly, the game is going to fail. Most of the stupidity with technology you stated was people either A. goofing around, or B. For some reason green-lighted by the moderator (ahem, you). The magic [cabbage] is stupid, "oh lets fly dragons around and shoot fireballs out of our [wagon]". Nty that doesn't interest me in the slightest. And this: Could be applied in exactly the same manner to your posts about bridges and fireballs, lol. It's not like as soon as magic is introduced everyone suddenly becomes reasonable. :rolleyes:

Hex, you completely ignored all of us when we said a new hegemony at this juncture wouldn't be accepted. Don't be surprised when this gets locked.

Magic always ends up making everyone powergame even harder is mostly why I can't stand it. That and it's silly. 'I attack you with 10,000 soldiers.' 'I cast a fireball and kill them all.' '...' Silly silly. You can defend an empire with 2 guys with sticks and long beards.

Fantasy is stupid. And we've already established that anything set in a time that isn't 'today' doesn't work. Since, if we start in the medieval era, someone's first post is 'I start research on firearms'.

Who is that? Idk, some crazy [bleep]er that stole a RPG-22 and riot shield from a cop. As seen here: Yay big picture.

No. The thing that was fun about the original Hegemony was that it was set in the real world, but only very loosely based off the real world, so we ended up having all these wacko countries as powerhouses (Kingdom of Jerusalem, a greek-mythology oriented Iran, Kazakhstan, Nigera, what have you) that made people keep coming back to the thread because it was idk...fun? All this silliness with production points, research values, construction timetables, population growth models, and budget sheets just makes the game feel like I'm doing taxes.

A bear trap? Where the [bleep] do you live, the Capital Wasteland? Christ.

Another pic of Mr. Badass I'm still a bit puzzled as to why the Kyrgyz riot police brought anti-tank weapons with them...

Fine then, I build battleships. *whatever*

Researching: Ion cannons, energy shields, -insert random sciency sounding new missile- Also using all my industrial capacity to build more...factories. ZZ

Yup

Yeah Mythic is [bleep]ed.

The only thing shocking about that is the fact that it's probably not true. When headlines on the front page of that website say "we democrats" vs "them [republicans]," the validity falls somewhat in question. People in media will do just about anything to get attention, ratings, or hits. In one of the above little /b/ images people are posted for lulz, it shows a bloody camera listed as a "abandoned machine gun." Presumably the camera belonged to a journalist killed by American troops. The image is obviously fake and staged, and the blood is likely nothing more than red paint (guess what, blood is a darkish red that approaches black when spilt). Journalists around the world love to set up fake photos with actors/actresses or photoshop images in order to prevoke emotional response. It's been done for decades. There is no true media outlet. It doesn't exist as even an AP wire was concieved by someone voicing their opinions on a subject. Reality sucks and doesn't sell. This is apparently headline news but if an African dictator orders his guns to fire on villages because of their racial heritage, nobody cares. But if American chopper pilots are idiots? Oh hell, that's news! A precocious looking white girl gets kidnapped and raped we spend WEEKS on the news ignoring nigh all else in order to cover it, but the same situation happens hundreds of times daily in America alone, much less the rest of the world. All Journalists care about is getting attention and milking it. If the truth really had a website, it would probably be on Geocities and struggling at that. Al Jazeera is pretty much the only solid organization that consistently reports on world news, IMO.

There's no such thing as Warhammer 20K idiot.

What ? [bleep] the power! Nono, it's 'ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH'

AND NO STARGATE [cabbage]

[bleep]. ... [bleep] the censor.

Lol who put Hex in charge?

Not if it's started by you Hex.
