My first act as senior mod is to forbid KlavoHunter from rolling his R's for a period of three days.

Hey, at least the first act wasn't a reorganization of this SDNW into sumkinda Galactic Empire...

Nah, Simon wouldn't do that. Galactic Technocracy of Doom, that I could see.

Gentlemen, that would mean war, there are other mods - who would not give up their power easily. :P

That wouldn't make a bad game, actually - war between the mods of an STGOD. Not very 4th-wall-friendly, though.

Heheh. For some reason, it reminds me of post-revolutionary France. And yeah, that would probably be what Brag democracy would look like, given their genetic predisposition to be assholes. Between that and Korean-style Parliamentary royal rumbles, with stick! :D

Genetic, you say? How does one code for assholishness? Is it original, or a mutation from all the radiation floating around?

Maybe it was a mutation from the radiation, which got accelerated during the first nuclear war on Bragule, when Byzon goaded the then-superpowers to fight each other. X-BRAGS: FIRST CLASS

Byzon wears a helmet so bald-headed Solarians can't read his mind.

Kevin Bacon? Kevin BYZON.

ALSO:

Guise, I know this sounds nitpicky and shits, but I think the Military Vehicles of the Galaxy wiki is kind of redundant since there are several specific military vehicles of other nations wikis out there (like the Atlanteans, Bragulans and Solarians and other nations). And as you can see in the Military Vehicles of the Galaxy wiki, a lot of those entries are directly copy-pasted from Zor's own Vehicles of the Commonwealth wiki which is redundant.

Maybe it would make sense if the Military Vehicles of the Galaxy wiki contains war machines from other nations that aren't already listed in other nations' own military vehicles wikis (to prevent repetitiveness/redundantness). I don't intend to put Bragulan vehicles in the Military Vehicles of the Galaxy wiki because I already have my own specific Imperial Legions Warmahines wiki, and to list Brag vehicles in BOTH wikis would be redundant (and it would be a bitch to edit both of them). But I might want to put some Feelipeeni or Frodian or other vehicles from smaller militaries without specific wikis of their own in the Military Vehicles of the Galaxy wiki.

Bragulans are just assholes by galactic standards. By their own, you guys are just big babies.

For those with their own article, they could summarize in the "Military Vehicles of the Galaxy" page, while including a main article tag to their own page. It would require one to pretty much reorganize it to have headers by nation, rather than vehicle type.

For those who don't know, the Main Article tage looks like this:

Code: Select all

{{Main | Article Title}}
Just a thought on that.

Headers by nation probably makes more sense anyway. Different nations may have tactical doctrines so far apart that the vehicles don't much resemble each other; I might have tracked armor and APCs while you have flying dropships and giant robots with jetpacks or something.

Posting by nation would let you arrange the vehicles of your nation in a way that shows how they fit together in a coherent scheme.

I'll get right to Thy.... I can't pronounce the rest of it *Apexai sneers at primitive apes* as soon as I can. Between this and the Xena attack that just... won't... flow. Urgh.

And I've been busy this weekend. Unusual social activity in my usually hermetic existence. It is my inner Zigonian.

Ford Prefect Country's STRAK Industries, renowned designer and manufacturer of mechas, is willing to provide Anglia with the most advanced Gundamn designs complete with armored bearskins (bragskins?).

The John Bull Gundamn.

Be forewarned, though, STRAK has also offered the perfidious French Gundamns with the most formidable bionic bicorns.
