So which side is the stubborn fool, the pro wars or Trek?Dakarne wrote:Class me under Stubborn fool then...Most of the logical and sane fans have conceded and do not pursue. The fucktards and the stubborn fools continue.
I'm most definitely going to try to win this, and make even the most stubborn of the Pro-Trek Debators give up. (might take a while...)
There's three people who seem to make up the most Idiotic of the Idiotic
-SailorSaturumon13
-Son-of-CCN
-Mike Dicenso (I trust that you have a history with this one)
These are who I'm currently trying to beat...

Initially, they weren't allowing it, but now it's "directly supported by the Higher Canon"
So yeah, I have actually got a trump card.
Wait wait wait ... he's been at it for 9 years, and this guy seriously put the following arguments to me?Mike DiCenso has been at it for as long as Mike Wong and I have. And that's nearly 9 years. (shudder)
So Mike Dickheadso has been at it for 9 bloody years...It can't be done. Mike DiCenso has been at it for as long as Mike Wong and I have. And that's nearly 9 years. (shudder)
Good point, I do actually find half the claims funny, I have to wonder whether they're doing it deliberately half of the time for a joke. I think this thread needs to be renamed to the "Strek-v-Swars.net" thread or something. Since it seems to have lost a lot of relevance to the original title, other than the fact that they're making some pretty stupid claims.The only thing arguing with those guys is good for is mental exercise and entertainment. You're not going to change their minds. Arguing from pure canon is fun- when it stops being fun, I go away for a while. That's the only reason you should do it. If it's not fun, don't bother.
Speaking of Mike Dicenso, he's one of the advocates of the "photon torpedo central glow growth" nonsense. It seems impossible to make the point across that it's a illusion due to the angular movement in some of the shots (such as in "The Best of Both Worlds", "Rise" etc. while there isn't a hint of such a phenomena in two scenes of "STII: "The Wrath of Khan" or the Voy episode "Dreadnaught"). I can't produce screenshots, but has anyone looked at this "photon torpedo glow growth" nonsense more closely?Vympel wrote:The only thing arguing with those guys is good for is mental exercise and entertainment.

1. Federation replicators will allow the UFP to "make up the difference" between the industrial capability of the 1,000,000 system moonlet-size planet-destroying battle station building power and their own (few hundred world podunk gnat-shit).
2a. Any Imperial invasion would be weak, because they only brought a few dozen ships to Endor.
2b. Ditto, because they only attacked Hoth with five ships.
3. The trip Padme and Anakin took between Coruscant and Naboo was sublight in AotC, because we didn't see them go to hyperspace and we saw shots of the ship flying.
4. The Pegasus asteroid is 33km.
Ok now 3 is simply a recent edition in monumental jaw-dropping absurdity, but where the fuck does someone pull stupid ass arguments like 1, 2a and 2b if he's been arguing this for 9 years? Did he seriously believe that utter tripe, or did he just think because I wasn't an ASVSer he could get away with that sort of dumbassed argument?
I don't care how big the torpedo starts, or ends as, It's just a miniature pod with a bunch of antimatter in it... that does a job as a missile.Speaking of Mike Dicenso, he's one of the advocates of the "photon torpedo central glow growth" nonsense.

DiCenso has a new champion in Darkstar, so he's going to hold onto that lead goose for all he's worth. Google Dicenso's name, my name, and Mike's name in the Google forums, along with the work "trek", and you'll see what I mean.
Sean Looked at this a while back, Voyager Alliances blows it out of the water. It shows them firing at a city from a long way off. At the end you can compare the size of the torp to the windows on the buildings, and prove it the nonsense it is.Mange the Swede wrote:Speaking of Mike Dicenso, he's one of the advocates of the "photon torpedo central glow growth" nonsense.

Yeah, because a light chemical charge that releases robots is way stronger then a several hundred kiloton warhead.A rather weak missile which would be beaten any day by one of the "Dumb" RotS torpedoes.

I'm intrigued about the "4.2 gigaton phaser" bullshit on their main page from Masks.
You think that’s dumb I once tried to argue with some one who was saying the death star had no hyper drive. He was you standard canon moron and would only allow the movies and not novelisations or anything, even to support higher canon. His proof was that you could not see any big glowing engines(I even after I told him they were ion engines and not hyper dives) and went on to say that Luke was on the rebel base at Endor for years.Vympel wrote: Ok now 3 is simply a recent edition in monumental jaw-dropping absurdity, but where the fuck does someone pull stupid ass arguments like 1, 2a and 2b if he's been arguing this for 9 years?

Right, but the fact that that is the sole time I've seen that incident cited for a firepower figure in the 5 years of debating I have under my belt and that it generates such a high figure makes me instantly suspicious. I was hoping Wayne or one of the old ASVS guys could comment on it since I've never sen the incident in question and the link to the work that suppossedly proves it is broken.Junghalli wrote:I think they derived it from the Enterprise's phasers melting away a large icy comet in seconds to expose the artifact.Ender wrote:I'm intrigued about the "4.2 gigaton phaser" bullshit on their main page from Masks.
I just checked it, and it works fine for me. I HAVE been doing major cleanups and rearranging there, though. Can a couple other people check it?
