I'm so glad we have a much wider variety of viewpoints than is expressed on that community. That's the last thing I'll say on the issue
I make no judgment on whenever it was funny or not. I just think the practice of publicly making fun of other R Pers is in bad taste.
Indeed—my teacher in last semester's course on gender in society would be appalled at their behaviour. "Misandry doesn't exist"? Honestly, do they have any idea how absurd and naive that assertion is? Imbeciles...
The Danse Macabre CodexAll the mods in that community who jumped down Screw's throat were spouting that. All of them.
The Danse Macabre CodexI have no idea why such a pack of circle-jerking leaky cuntbags has raised my hackles so. I mean, it's not my problem they're a bunch of sycophantic fuckwits.
Shit.... I better stop before I burst a blood vessel... All of my hate. All of my HATE!

"Stealing is a crime and drugs is a crime too BUT if you steal drugs the two crimes cancel out and it’s like basically doing a good."So you see why we're all a little incensed, and why my professor would have been appalled at this behaviour.

Hmmm. Anyone want to bring out their own tech? I've already posted the Tostayev System.
"He could not know it. For it was not all a joke."Okay Icarael, you get points for that
Note: Said emoticon is usually used in situations of amusement, for myself at least.

How can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all?@Tech:
I would do so, if not for two things:
1. EA stuff is SOCR's domain, and I'm not about to ruin his creative vision.
2. I'd inevitably turn it into a great big diatribe of Super Cool Awesome Aircraft Of Awesomeness (in the process ending up undoing SOCR's statement that aircraft are almost non-viable, which doesn't quite make sense to me as designers could surely just create non-missile based stand off weapons).

Locking you up on radar since '09I've really gotta stop assuming other people are dudes.
EDIT:
What are Klenks again?
I assume they're not traditional aircraft; I was thinking more souped-up versions of classical aviation philosophy, I guess.

"He could not know it. For it was not all a joke."Thank you.
...Why am I imagining extensively modified versions of the Mi-24 Hind being used as transports for the air-mobile Klenks (and perhaps as quasi-CAS)? Helps that even the basic helicopter is a mechanical badass of the highest calibre. I mean, just look at it

Locking you up on radar since '09If I made a statement about aircraft being non-viable, it was because I'm borrowing notes from my own scifi worldbuilding deal. Here aircraft are viable because of magically-hardened armor and the ability to carry enchantments that would allow them to phase through the portal-based point-defense systems. My personal world is completely mundane; any and all aircraft get shredded by hyper-accurate PD systems.
A-10s still rule the day.

How can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all?I can see both as being completely viable progressions in Arms Races from where we stand now. It's just in my world computing and tracking systems won the day, in yours it'd probably be ECM and missile weaponry that came out on top.
Here, magic allowed point-defense systems to go ammo-free and use 100% effective portals to teleport inbound missiles to remote, harmless locations. As soon as the system premiered, guided weaponry became obsolete overnight.
How can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all?Well now I don't know if you're talking about here or in my world. Clarify? X3

Uhhh, Icariel? What did I say?
