I can't prove it but I feel like the Armageddon death cult Rapture-ready Christians are probably an exaggerated influence compared to the less extreme but still heavily right-wing Christians who support Israel because they see Jews as being their co-religionists at least as much as Catholics or Mor...

Who wants to point out that we are now at the point where people are using Ukraines apologia for fascist war criminals as apologia for other fascist war criminals?

There have been accusations that the legion and another paramilitary force operating in Ukraine, the Russian Volunteer Corps, have connections with far-right organisations. Caesar was previously a member of the Russian Imperial Movement (RIM), an ultranationalist group that is publicly opposed to P...

Those numbers are for towed artillery only. The US also uses self propelled artillery and MRLS systems, not to mention that the U.S. navy can also provide support within certain distances of the coast. So yes, Ukraine may have more towed artillery systems. But this isn't the whole story. Also, using...

Blood doesn't matter on the modern battlefield. Fires does. And guess what??? The sheer paltry amount of Ukrainian fires holding off Russians? Yeah.... Ukraine literally has as much artillery as the entire US army. It had more tanks and armoured vehicles than most of Europe put together. And you're...

It's not 1991 anymore. Somewhere around 1/3 to half of US planes are grounded, broken, or otherwise unavailable for use, most of the UK's carriers & subs are laid up in repairs, not to mention a huge amount of equipment was already sent to the Ukraine and destroyed. Also, Russia isn't a poor br...

Half a fucking decade old. Can we just ban this lying piece of shit now?

The only way I can see this going anywhere is if China is working behind the scenes to convince Russia to pull out of Ukraine. The other possibilities are: - China is trying to make everyone perceive them as helping when Russia pulls out. - China is positioning itself to profit from the reconstruct...

tl;dr They hoped Russia would stop hurting itself and making things worse for the whole world while doing so - It didn't, and now they equip Ukraine to MAKE Russia stop. I am not trying to be condescending but wasn't this the obvious read-between-the-lines of every NATO intelligence agency communic...

Russia's supposedly only had a few weeks left of ammo, missiles, drones, and other supplies for the last 6-7 months. One of these times the claims might just be right, but I ain't holding my breath. I generally thought that this refers to their stockpiles of their "modern" weaponry. Russi...

https://www.axios.com/mariupol-shelling-russia-ukraine-25359776-cee5-4fe9-bf61-3b5655bec036.html Mariupol Childrens Hospital has been destroyed by shelling. I’m starting to think it’s time to consider more active intervention. This is a crime against all of humanity… The point of these atrocities a...

Show your work on this. What I have seen suggests that Putin and Russia have been rather blindsided by the extent of western unity and sanctions. Their credit rating has been decreased to basically imminent default, the ruble has lost what 30 or 40 percent of it's value in a week and the ability to ...

If you have precogs I am stealing a few criminal precogs who have been banished for cheating on the lotto. The shitty predictions I will force others to write into their stories will be worth it.

I definitely want to drop points to be pretty far out. I'm gonna do some really funky stuff with my nation building so put me way outside.

Gonna link to my Orbat google doc for now as I build it...

Will put up in the OoB thread when I get done.

ORBAT

I will be trying to get some stuff up tomorrow while I have like hours of boring ass pd zoom meetings to attend. I am going to play a nation of pirates, outlaws, and general ne'erdowells. My general level of seriousness will be a -7. I'm gonna shrooms this bitch up as best I can for everyone else 8)

I will go with what the majority of players decide. You're right about maturity (and a different player base; it's looking like I'm going to be the only player left from that era), of course. But if we do freeform, my long form ship class descriptions are going to outline in detail what I would hav...

Ok, so here are my thought about points. I am going to preface this by saying I actually do really like the "broken down" points system where ships have specializations like Offense, Defense, etc. I just don't think that it actually deals with the real problem, which is creating incentive ...

I have actually thought on more than a few occasions of try to start up an STGOD again and have given a great deal of thought to past STGODs, their rulesets and how to improve upon them. I am gonna be churning out a slow set of posts over the course of the day or so with a lot of those thoughts. Tha...

Why the fuck does it matter. Seriously I feel like I wanna just post an ogre gif screaming nerds. No amount of rules fixes bad players. This is literally the lesson that dnd taught us over the last 3 editions. Honestly if we can't trust a bunch of 30 year olds to play the game with decorum I really ...

I am going to go for a walk and will be thinking about STGOD stuff while I walk (it generally helps me sort my thoughts). However, I am going to leave the general idea I will be trying to wokr out better: primarily, that the problems STGODS have had in the past are not with the crunch of the rules s...

I am interested. Gotta work up a post with some of my thoughts about previous stgods. I got "stuff" to say.
