  1. The Great War: American Front Mod

    This is a great idea, Faeelin, and I'm going to be following your AAR closely. :) By the way, is Darkest Hour much better than Armageddon patched to 1.3b?

  2. Alternate Weapons of War thread...

    I really can't do anything but golf clap at that ship. Well done!

  3. Experimental Logical Colo(u)r Scheme

    I support this idea. If we need religion, we can put that on a different scheme, maybe with R representing the religion and B the degree to which that religion is enforced (or suppressed) by the state.

  4. Rewrite the Star Wars Expanded Universe

    Here's some licensed material that ought to stick around. This too. But this is a big no-no.

  5. How big is Vicky 2?

    Alright, thanks.

  6. How big is Vicky 2?

    Or, how much data will I download if I go for digital distribution? Wikipedia says 2 GB of HDD space is necessary, but I've heard conflicting figures from other places. Anybody have it?

  7. Rewrite the Star Wars Expanded Universe

    Statistics! Marginally on-topic: Can anybody give me a somewhat reasonable asspulled number for the standard deviation of a Star Wars human's lifespan? I'm thinking of a mean of 125 years, but I need the freaking sigma. If you perchance know the modern standard deviation, I'll take that too...

  8. Rewrite the Star Wars Expanded Universe

    It's a show vs. tell thing. We're told he's a sympathetic villain, but we're shown him crossing the Moral Event Horizon. Basically, it's a writing failure.

  9. WorldWar miniseries Casting call.

    It absolutely must include the Otto Skorzeny Saga. Heck, you could probably make an entire miniseries on just his exploits during the war.

  10. Rewrite the Star Wars Expanded Universe

    Right on the money. You know how MacCaulay's always up about how nukes are telltale signs of lazy writing? Superweapons are Star Wars nukes.

  11. Rewrite the Star Wars Expanded Universe

    I think she's drawing precedent from when Daala gasses all the warlords except for herself and Pellaeon. EDIT: What's even more hilarious is the Anvilicious way in which the new series points out that Daala did not in fact get her position by giving Tarkin blowjobs. Or so she says. There's this...

  12. Rewrite the Star Wars Expanded Universe

    A thought: if the EU were to be redone along the lines being favored in this thread, we'd lose the motivation for one of the best Fix Fics in English literature: The Hand of Thrawn Duology. We'd make up for it by having better overall storylines, but that's a damn good plot that will never come...

  13. Rewrite the Star Wars Expanded Universe

    Heh. I didn't realize ALL of those were from the same author. I was under the impression we had a bunch of authors putting these scenes in to add 'maturity' when it's really just Denning being Denning. Weird.

  14. Rewrite the Star Wars Expanded Universe

    Which is one of the things I'd focus on most: a decent map of the galaxy. Getting the plot mapped out properly is a very close second, but if the astrography (cosmography if you're Russian) is a mess you're making stories in a vaguely defined world. I'd put up a giant map of the galaxy in...

  15. Seapole World Map

    Seapole is cool, but I still think Jaredia was the best of his worlds. It was the only one that made me actually wish I could go exploring there.

  16. Civilization V

    This is very, very true. And the thing that bugs me most is that they could have easily gotten around the "meatgrinder effect" (by the way, after talking to Calbear I realized that modern combat on cities is the most realistic but unintentional thing in Civ 4) by simply making artillery have a...

  17. Alternate Weapons of War thread...

    That's a beautiful ship, Douglas!

  18. Alternate Weapons of War thread...

    How would you do that? When I asked you earlier you said they didn't have antigravity technology on the same level of Star Wars's end-all-be-all stuff, and you can't seriously be suggesting to propel that thing on an air cushion?

  19. Alternate Weapons of War thread...

    You are right to make that assumption. Look up RFX-1 polyethylene. I don't know about armor, though.

  20. Alternate Highway Signs Thread

    The doctoring is fine, but the sign itself is too clear. If I can't read the "One Way" then it looks odd to be able to read a much fancier script.
