I concur with most of what you are saying, but that statement there puzzles me. How is any point in time justified as having the "right" to own those resources, given that the ancestors of those settlers were conquerers themselves? It may be a bit pedantic or waxing moral relativism, but the...

But we planted a flag on the moon, hence we claim it as part of America of course :D . Gagarin didn't launch a flag into space, so no dibs, Kharn.

Sorry about Wasteland right now, but I am a bit, ah, stuck on what to have Ivan do. It doesnt seem like much is available at the moment unless I can roleplay Killian myself, and having Ivan get off, or a scuffle breaking out amidst the guards after the news.

"Ok.....we need to get out on that roof somehow. We can hold out there for a long time. I think maybe the fire escape is all we have left." He motioned Veronica away from the stairs, glad suddenly to have Hector there as well with his own gun. Those damn beasts unnerved him. He started...

Close Combat: A Bridge Too Far was pretty good for the aforementioned reasons, and is probably....10 bucks now? I suggest it as a buy. It also can be quite difficult.

History doesnt work at all like that Kharn. The number of deaths never implied who was moral or immoral in a war, the perspective of the winner did. That is a relatively recent phenomena. Ouch, my historically-accurate mind aches with such blasphemy!

Honestly, America and China should jsut carve up Europe into little spheres of influence all over again. What good is Europe except for fighting proxy wars in anyways? It is hardly like we "need" it as a network of disparate countries. They are getting waaay too complacent. Might as well...

No, it isn't morally as terrible as what had occured. Sad yes, but calling actions of nature morally wrong is utterly stupid. Now to the comparison between the numbers of deaths. You have a pretty fucked up value of what is right or wrong. Is it like cards, where killing...

Well I made my post for the Mexico thread before your's, I believe. However, I do not wish to auto all sorts of players along, as I feel bad about using others as cannon fodder to protect my own character. Regardless, he is a scout, and so he will fight as a scout does: Long range sniping...

What about a resurgent Chinese threat coming down from Canada? China certainly would still have people around, and as the Shi proved, they wouldn't necessarily be low-tech.

I live close to a nuclear power plant as well, less than 20 minutes away. Seabrook Station. That, coupled with living about 50-60 miles from Boston, up along the seacoast in New Hampshire. Survival possibilities? It is possible I suppose, as a decomissioned submarine base and a nuclear...

Ok guys...we seriously need to take account of what roleplay threads are actually still active, and who are in them. I mean, waiting a week between posts is rather silly, and there are way too many good ideas floating out and around here that never had a chance to get off the ground. So...

The fact that you are both arguing who is more "evil" based upon the sheer scale of people they killed is, frankly, disgusting. Who the fuck cares whether one of them killed more people than the other? Does it have to conform to some arbitrary notion of "Well, you were killed by the less evil...

The IRA recruited on your campuses? I am a bit curious as to how they got away with that, unless it was through some branch of Sinn Fein?

They all attend National Internet University .

Who DOESN'T love Minsc???

Sean walks in slowly, a pistol in one hand, a flashlight held upside down as he aimed it about the dark room, a bit nervous. He wasn't scared of the dark per se, but obviously something was pretty damn weird about this place, and his nerves were on edge. As Hector went to comfort Veronica, he...

It is worthwhile as a prelude to Baldur's Gate, though the plot summary is pretty easy to find. As others said, it gets more interesting once you are in Baldur's Gate proper, though the characters ARE interesting, contrary to other opinions here. Some of the dialogue is quite good, but the...

My family was there on both accounts, Hovercar. Besides that fact no matter how the Soviets treated them, they still *were* invaders and conquerers. Loosening restrictions does not make them any more noble for that fact.

I was referring to Hungary, Hovercar. Hence why I qualified that with the story about my family and so on. Obviously, different memories arising therein.
