GhanjRho 0 Posted May 29, 2011 Yeah, no matter how serious they or she was, it's kinda overboard a bit... Honestly, the thing that bugs me the most is that fact that she can't admit that she was wrong. when told her number was incredibly lowball, she tried to call on her military credentials. which were service as a deck crewman and then a media specialist.

Her best defense? "Yeah, it was a typo, I didn't mean 3 million Clones, I meant 3 million units of 100 Clones." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason 27 Posted May 31, 2011 Any case UFP intelligence is much better Empires intelligence . Part reason Rebel able stand up Empire was because very good intelligence. That might be another major factor in the war which sadly does not get talk about. In pratice UFP far militery power goes out does Empire every possible way as far unit for unit.

Khas 12,158 Posted May 31, 2011 *sigh* Jason, the point of this thread isn't to say that ST coul WTFPwn SW. The point is to mock KirkSkywalker, a member of SFJ who makes you look Pro-Wars. He is also a much worse debater than you, as you at least try to back up your claims. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Picard578 0 Posted May 31, 2011 If KSW was here as long as Jason, what would his reputation be? -15 000 seems right... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GhanjRho 0 Posted May 31, 2011 Am I the only one who's noticed that a lot of the more biased individuals have names that include both franchises? You have Jedi Master Spock (and most of Starfleet Jedi), StarWarsStarTrek, KirkSkywalker, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GhanjRho 0 Posted June 1, 2011 I'm not saying its a rule. I'm just saying that many people pick a name that is either unrelated ( Mr. Oragahn, ricrey1, the 80 billion names of RSA) or solidly in one camp or the other (picard, Darth Wong, Kor, etc.). the KirkSkywalkers just happened to be relatively heavily biased.

Picard578 0 Posted June 1, 2011 Maybe beacouse they know they are unusually biased so they choose crossover nick to play it down... althought Jason doesn't fit that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Praeothmin 532 Posted June 3, 2011 Some more KSW goodness, in response to an attack on Earth from Darth Vader in an ssd and 60 ISDs: Relatively? Try impenetrable by any SW weapons, even the Death Star would be no match for it. My guess is that no one would even notice Vader's fleet, it would be like paddling a wooden-canoe into New York harbor from 5 miles out at sea (which is about an hour's journey for a canoe); i.e. the Federation would, at most, be thinking it was some recreational antique-vessels with A-R engines and ferrous-metal hulls, since they're busy scanning for warp-signatures and graviton-based cloaking-devices etc.coming into the solar system. Then Vader would get to Earth, and say "w t FFFFFF??" when he saw what was going on around it with all the warp-driven ships that disappeared from their sensors when going to warp. Finally when vader got hailed by ground-control to offer him special status for his unregistered antique hobby-ships, they'd ask about his prosthetics and tell him that he should visit a local infirmary to get some proper treatment for his medical condition, and when Vader said that he was from another Galaxy, then they'd refer him to Federation HQ in order to register as a visting civilization. And finally when Vader told them that Q was behind it, they'd refer him to a special division of Starflleet called "Q-files division" which was set up especially to handle problems that Q caused people.<BR clear=all> Hilarity ensues...

Picard578 0 Posted June 3, 2011 Well, that depends on: a ) how strong Earth's shields are (doubtful, but probably in hundreds of gigatons) b ) how powerful superlaser is (I think that Darkstar calculated it, but lots of people don't agree on it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tyralak 12,068 Posted June 4, 2011 Well, that depends on: a ) how strong Earth's shields are (doubtful, but probably in hundreds of gigatons) b ) how powerful superlaser is (I think that Darkstar calculated it, but lots of people don't agree on it) The problem with his calculations isn't the numbers. It's the fact that Scooter is as polarizing a figure as Wong. The opposing side hears it came from him, and immediately discount it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Picard578 0 Posted June 4, 2011 Yes, I noticed that. Actually, I noticed that most people come into discussion with pre-determined result, and use discussion only to push their views. Doing that, they dismiss arguments of other side without even thinking if these arguments are, actuall, correct. And that is probably most unnerving thing in whole discussion - even more so than occasional swearing and similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khas 12,158 Posted June 4, 2011 Yeah. Shame really, since it used to be about reaching a concensus. Now, well, let's just say that this YouTube Poop sums it up nicely: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk3t78U1t_0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As to what the argument was about, he was some Christian looney who refused to accept the fact that Islam is an Abrahamic religion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
