I don't see how you can make the case that Davions will be "sub-100 IQ" people and Liao will be "normal".

Sounds like flame-bait to me.



Ok, you don't see that, but your reaction on the thing you haven't understood says a lot. "Burn it, because I don't understand and don't like it". That's the type of BT fans we are speaking ironically of. A little of sophistry is what we are about.

I don't think you understood my post. Let me sum it up differently, "You guys are trolling. You have no way to judge which faction's players are actually more intelligent than anothers and that kind of talk really isn't productive."

Further: It is one thing to make jabs in an "in-character" fashion, but insulting other PLAYERS isn't a good idea.

Which is productive then? Burn 'em, eh? You don't understand Adrios's sarcasm, but placed a flammer 'to protect justice', as you are trying to explain now, lol. Doesn't it look like: "somebody is not right in the Internet"? Good luck to you.

At least our sisters aren't parts of death cults that try ti kill everyone. That's a fun family you've got there, Liao.

Also, Dihm, they're just having a bit of fun :P That's all this is.

The St. Ives Compact is welcome to their worlds, and the rest of the Confederation as well while we're at it. Candace or her children would make for vastly improved leadership of a nation that direly needs it. The Capellans aren't a horrible people....they've just got horrible and corrupt leadership.

I'd rather have a strong ally then have to conquer that much space, and I think Victor knew it. He was very much his father, but his mother and friendship with Kai and Hohiro really taught him what their fathers had long forgotten (and were only beginning to remember when Hanse died of a heart attack because of Katherine.)

Peace is possible with St. Ives, it's not with the machinations of the current Liao family in power on Capella.

Again, it was just a comment that when you get away from the in-character banter and start insulting the actual players instead, you run a risk of creating a flame war.

OMG, Dihm, what do you think I will lose by being banned on some forum? What will you prove? To whom? OMFG, what a nice winkers you have. Just take it easy, have fun as rest of us.

True, just need to stand back and take a second to clear the head, no need to get into it like that.


Besides, the dev's gave us flamers, going to need to use them somewhere!!

That may not be true, unleashe the horde of internet forum members on the Capellan HPG network and they're pretty much take the entire thing down in flame wars and pointless drivel, meaning they'll be blind and we can waltz in!

Never underestimate the internet. lol.

I finally understood why many dudes with FRR allegiance icon are so 'notable' in Liao related topics. They grieve that Rasalhague has no border with CC and they would miss their chance to be novel-like-shiny-heroes. Aha!

Should that say something about yours or someone else IQ? Can't stand without last word? Ok, ok, post something else and I promise not to reply.

Added after a minute of thinking: peace man, let's keep it civil.

We'll have the First Kathil Uhlans deliver some, don't worry - they know the way.

In all seriousness though St Ives shouldn't be a part of the CapCon at launch. It's a whole plot hook that's being missed, the xin shen movement and invasion basically get glossed over now.

Among other things. Even if it's not a full-fledged power, it should either be lumped in with periphery powers or the fed-com ;) Though I'd rather it were it's own thing...

ED: Really, the Periphery status would best reflect the situation on the ground during this period.

As I said in the original post, if they don't have it separate from Capcon for simplicity sake due to population numbers, they should at least let you guy have a special tag or something denoting that you're pro St.Ives or what have you, effectively still representing the nation.

Just think of it as taking over planets for a Confederation that will soon be run by Candace and her children instead of Candace's less then stellar sister and nephew. ;)

You should not have started a war on my simple joke. :ph34r:

As for the "insulting", it is in the same waters as people calling us crazy, etc.... that means that IxxxI is right... in some way. :unsure:


P.S. NIce sig Hayden, even though you will probably switch back. :D <h3></h3>

Probably, but I gotta make a stand while there's still an outside possibility.
