The problems of private companies ignoring safety issues in nuclear power plants is not an argument against nuclear power plants. It's an argument against privately owned and run nuclear power plants. The obvious solution is to not let private companies run things like that.

Easily this one in Ace of Spades. There's a map with a bridge at virtually the top of the map, and ocean at the bottom. Cliffs to both sides. I'm in the ocean sniping upwards, and the enemy is attempting to rebuild a bridge section. One guy winds up falling down from the top and I catch it out of th...

If the swastikas annoy you too much just start destroying/defacing them. It's about even odds anyone nearby (sometimes regardless of team) will help.

I will begin to give a shit at precisely the point where I can do something about this. Until then, this incident simply gets filed under "Yet another big corporation actively abuses third world nation(s)". I already don't buy anything from either corporation, because my clothing needs are...

It'll hurt for a while as we fill the holes in employment they leave in various places, but unemployment will drop like a meteor and we won't have those lunatics fucking things up for the rest of us. Also, they got to be raptured together into heaven or wherever so they're probably happy too. Win/win.

It's worse. I think the OIS are all PCs and our dear, temporarily sane, heroes have stumbled into the middle of one of the classic clusterfucks that PCs are inevitably involved in.

I'd just like to state that this fic infiltrated my dreams. Fortunately I woke up before the giant black thing made out of screaming bodies caught me.

Fucker.

EDIT: Yes, it definitely was this fic as the graffiti on the walls would have testified. If I had had time to read it.

Never truely apprciated how wanked they were until 30 turns in when I defeated two ISD's, 2 Missile ships and 4 Tartans with just 6 Corvettes, 4 destroyers and a planetary ion cannon. ISDs and the like in vanilla games aren't meant to be line of battle ships. It's sad, but the way the game was made...

I'd ask for your rant, but I bet I'd be distill it down to "Rebels Horribly overpowered" If you run into three or more Liberator Carriers in a fleet, just auto resolve spam until they go away. I'll spare the other details. There's literally no other option. That, and also the fact that th...

With regards to ground battles, I usually mass produce some light vehicle, and then auto-resolve. It can be a bit expensive when dealing with heroes, but it saves frustration. How to install a mod. Place the folder of the mod inside the Mods folder in the game folder. Create a shortcut to the exe, t...

For the people talking about going to the local Imperials...there aren't any. just after the start of the Clone Wars. It's still the Old Republic. As for what I would do? It depends on where I start. Obviously, I have no cash, no ID, and no real clue about the society I just got dumped in. No, the m...

I thought about it, but then the logistics started overwhelming me. That would take some serious thought to get right.

5. You can not wish for any magical powers or similar wishes that will render the Genie obsolete *snip* 9. Other than that, no wish is beyond his powers. (Mind control, infinite wealth, live in your favorite anime, change physics, etc. What ever you want.) Man, people just aren't thinking big enoug...

What folder in EaW would I go to to do this? I've always wanted a bigger population cap. This should work for both vanilla and mods: Go to data/xml in the folder of what you want to modify (Vanilla, or the mod's folder), then find factions.xml (Vanilla factions) and expansion_factions.xml (Zahn). M...

I wound up modding my copy for a ~50 pop cap for all of the mods I have. If your computer can handle it I'd suggest you do the same. The bigger battles are awesome . I'd go for more but my computer's usually on the edge as it is. I've included my primary impressions of the mods' main ships. I despis...

I apologize for touching this off. What I meant was a scenario along the lines of "Replace the stupid people who just busted into the party and attacked, with some special forces". As in, some highly trained guys with assault rifles/miscellaneous equipment facing the most powerful benders ...

As for everyone else, I imagine a "If you want Aang you'll have to go through us" scene that goes horribley horribley wrong. Between all the alerted hilariously overpowered benders that you'd have there, I can't imagine that even a modern special forces group could kill Aang. Personally, ...

I checked the link several times to make sure this wasn't the Onion. Good god, what is this idiot thinking?

I can't help but think that the itching is going to be significant.

I have new respect for my high morale guys in SMAC now. Withstanding that and continuing to fight is incredible.

So I'm guessing the monolith unleashed a mind worm boil?

I started this during the afternoon, it is now effectively midnight. You write too damn well . I think I'll repress the nightmares tonight by imagining a pre-heresy Space Marine Legion taking this place on.

I am not of the party that everyone will die. The author isn't that merciful...

Alternatively, he's one of the pulsing balls of cancer. If he was at the head of the army, IIRC the nuke went off in the middle of it, he might have "survived". If you can call that survival.

There's no question he cared for his troops. During The Traitor's Hand he and Jurgen (who's armed with his melta) run across an enemy Leman Russ being closely assaulted by a squad of Valhallans. Cain could have had Jurgen just shoot the tank, destroying it and killing the Valhallans, which would hav...

Having just read this, I was thinking SMAC from the second* snippet. The (apparent) mind worm attack seems to support that conclusion. Depending on just where/how they went, another faction accidentally attacking them is a distinct possibility. Of course, the Planetmind was horrifying enough in the ...

Why exactly did the 2006 era forces choose to fight Napoleon then and there in the first place? If they must fight, why not quietly retreat and wait for him to be engaged with another army before providing support? It just seems somewhat random that they decided to fight in Wellington's place.
