Reply to On the temporary immigration ban in Politics JoeUser Forums

The 9/11 hijackers came into this country legally. They had documented history. Certainly one cannot compare pre-9/11 security to post 9/11 security. Have the hijackers arrive today, they most likely would have been identified. The countries on the ban list have no way to vett at todays standards. At least Trump is doing something. Obama took all comers. Using Jafo's logic, that must be no brain. No liberal tears for Obama's ban on Cuban "immigrants" the d

Reply to Feeling the BURN? in Democrat JoeUser Forums

The game is rigged for Hillary. She has over 400 super delegates to Bernie's handful. No one gets elected that the DNC does want to get elected. They promised Hillary this would be her turn. Silly Democrats. They think they are choosing their candidate.

Reply to Hillary for president in Republican JoeUser Forums

Politics are just a means of advancing one's personal agenda, typically an increase in wealth and or control. The few that might do it for the "greater" good, are often corrupted or marginalized. Usually the best we can hope for nowadays is that the politicians greed and ambitions are in line with our own desires. When government service becomes less of a career, and more of an appointment, with out the perks, without people coming out of office as multi-millionaires w

Obamacare will be great.... if only the drafters can get the doctors to work for minimum wage 60 or 70 hours a week. Should encourage loads of future doctors too. I'm so glad we passed it to find out what's in it.

Reply to Debate #2 in Politics JoeUser Forums

Come on Tova, you're not playing the game. You're supposed to be outraged about Mitt's plan to take away women's reproductive rights, staying in your bedroom, but not paying for what you do in there, and of course repealing your right to equal pay. That was all you (well your demographic target) were supposed to take away from that debate.

Reply to Pirates need a starbase in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

The Pirates as they exist in the game are hardly "pirates" in the true sense of the name. What pirate fights to elimination? Literally suicide pirates. Real pirates look for easy pickings. Real pirates will avoid the lost of their own ships, i.e. avoid serious military opposition. Real pirates plunder and leave... before help arrives. If players wanted more realistic pirates, they would be hiding in star or empty gravity wells, preying on freighters as they passed through or small hit

Reply to Pirates require overhaul! in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Until the pirates are handled like an additional AI player, they will always seem a bit off. Why do they fight to the last ship on a raid? Pirates are all about the plunder and saving their skin, not suicide missions.

Reply to Addition of Titans possibly hurting Sins gameplay and balance in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I'd like to see Titans purchase levels, up to a set level, available ONLY on second and subsequent builds of the ship. That should model "lessons learned" arguments (however the same could be said for capital ships). Heck I'd like to see ALL ships have levels... I like my veteran frigates and crusiers too! Folks might not treat them like cannon fodder as much. Might be too much for the engine to handle though. I'd also like to see players have "one in the ov

Pirate Actions in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I'm not sure how others feel about this but when it comes to pirates, their current routine doesn't seem quite right to me. As it works now, upcoming pirate raids are announced well ahead of the raid. Players are given the opportunity to "buy them off" to attack one of the other factions (Human or AI). I guess this is about the fairest way to do this, outside of the raids being random. Of course this method kind of takes any "surprise" out of it (ever hear of a bank robber calling the

[quote who="martox1" reply="42" id="3121707"] Quoting Nitro Cruiser, reply 40 Perhaps a more reasonable approach would be to allow a player to "buy" levels (like capital ships currently can do) on subsequently built Titans. That way it's not exactly a "give me". With their cost and build time, I don't believe any would be back in the fight too quickly. no that would make the titan OP [/quote] Note that I said on "subsequent" bu

Reply to Annoying Super Weapons in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I agree. I've had a game where the AI must have tech rushed to build several Novalith cannons (I was no where near that level). Once your planets come under their bombardment, it's only a matter of time be fore it's all over. I'd like to see two things: An option to turn off and perhaps a "Guns of Navarone" type sabotage type mission (given to pirates or other players). For a price, commando's steal their way into a system with a super-weapon, perhaps on a hijacked friendl

[quote who="boshimi336" reply="22" id="3120842"] Quoting wbino, reply 18 I still don't understand why a Titan would retain it's xp and level....... It goes against everything else in game mechanics. It is because if your titan got destroyed, and it reset the XP and Level, it would not stand a chance against the other titan. Not saying I like the whole mechanic but I believe it was setup that way to allow a playe

Reply to THE AFGHAN MASSACRE; STAFF SGT ROBERT BALES AND THE US MILITARY LEADERSHIP in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Were you as concerned when Nidal Malik Hasan, aka the Fort Hood shooter, killed 13 and wounded 29 in Nov. 2009? Just asking as I haven't seen any posts of that event, which hasn't even finished trial yet, on that recently. The evidence there was pretty damning, yet here we are. Would you advocate different treatment for Hasan compared to Bale? My point, if what Bale allegedly did is true, he needs to pay for his crime. But, he should get his day in court, just like everyo
