[quote who="purdyaw" reply="29" id="3007763"]The fact that Species 8472 later coordinates attacks with the Federation and Dominion against the Borg in the Gamma Quadrant can only point to improved relations.[/quote] ........Since when did the Federation and Dominion ally against the Borg? I mean, the alliance would make a degree of sense (Borg>Dominion on the scale of evil alien empires)- but ST:VOY never dealt with such things, AFAIK, and ST:DS9 ended with the Dominion surrender a

However, since you evidently were unaware of this, I'll note that I actually "reported" the thread, and said "no further discussion value here. Please lock." Secondly, I'm not trying to start some kind of argument- I'm pointing out that any information regarding '8472

Tsk tsk tsk.[/quote] iseewhatyoudidthere.jpg Quite honestly, I am astounded that you would say such a thing about me. And not for any reason like "I'm totally not like that!" but because you are comparing me to a completely fictional entity. I may have compared 8472 to the Romulans, but hey, that's 2 different fictional entities, who also happen to be from the same franchise. F
[quote who="purdyaw" reply="9" id="3007458"]They are good willed[/quote] I'm sorry, but this is completely false. If not for the fact that USS Voyager +crew aided the Borg to help defeat '8472, then S8472 would have crushed the Borg, and then gone on a massive glut of conquest. S8472 is, unmistakably , malevolent, aggressive, and expansionist. Not too dissimilar from certain incarnations of the Borg- and certainly quite similar to the Romulans (who I
[quote who="Draakjacht" reply="10" id="3006250"]Trek just hopes that man can manage to better itself.[/quote] This, I think, sums up the entirety of Trek. That humanity, or really any species, could manage to better itself without any help. Which I hold to be positively stupid. Incidentally, this is one thing I rather like about Warhammer 40,000 (which itself is somewhat of a complete inverse to Trek in the first place)- that too much advancement, too quickly, without any thou

I mean, it's one thing if maybe you played a Star Wars RPG or video game and you were a padawan of Yoda (which, in the case of a SW RPG, is extremely Mary Sue-ish), but the context of your statement suggest you actually believe what you've just posted.

I consider that to be roughly similar to playing a pen-and-paper RPG, IE, fairly mundane. Some people like doing so, others consider it odd. I consider it mundane. OTOH, I have fun doing so as well, and sometimes have propaganda/news programs running through my head as I play Sins.

@OP- Yes, it is a very strange dream. First off, you should post this in the "You know you've played Sins too much..." thread. Because THIS IS IT when it comes to that thread. Secondly, no, I have not dreamt of Sins of a Solar Empire before.
[quote who="Oatesy03" reply="1387" id="3001601"]I ended the Christianity debate because it was clearly going nowhere (Whiskey being very traditional, me being very universalist), and was kind of limited to just me and Whiskey.

[quote who="CmdrNilles" reply="1376" id="3000911"]Oh, but Whiskey do the Tau try to exterminate the Imperium?[/quote] No. But that's because the Tau Empire is the wart on the galaxy's backside. You see, the Tau Empire in 'current' 40K is no larger than a sector of Imperial territory. A. SINGLE. SECTOR. The Tau might have some fancy tech, and that whole "Greater Good" shtick, but they are small nuggets on the scale of the 40K galaxy as a whole.<
AWESOME. My head has just nearly exploded from it (if it had exploded, I wouldn't be typing this now would I?). On a more serious note, I love the basis- it's pretty neat and quite radical in design. I bow to the immense skill at modding which you guys obviously have. Though I do have a comment/question- the debot system, it's based on the metal/crystal asteroid refinery mechanic, isn't it.
[quote who="Oatesy03" reply="1371" id="3000725"]You quote an autocratic, xenophobic, and corrupt fictional organisation which worships a corpse, exterminates all that does not conform to their view of perfection, and will mindlessly slaughter all those who do not share their beliefs to the letter, and even those who do. Not a great source for philosophical inspiration. You may as well quote "Mein Kampf" in a similar fashion.[/quote] *looks at Oatesy* Really? You're pulling
[quote who="Oatesy03" reply="1366" id="3000585"]I rest my case. Is Luke God? Is Matthew God? Is Mark God? I think it's beginning to look pretty unlikely that John is God. As far as I'm aware a God-written Bible didn't fall from the sky into the hands of these men, they wrote the interpretations of what happened from hearsay. It is the life of Jesus taken through the blender of human interpretation several times over before being written down, and still changed after that.[/quote]<

Enjoy the friendship for what it is, not hate it for what it isn't. Love her as a friend, for what is, and don't hate her for what she isn't. Some would simply say "get over it," but friends are worth the time. You haven't come across a boundary, or an end, but a new direction. Two people can be far closer platoni
