I'll try to get more written today. But I will soon be going to eat lunch of some sort and to watch TV. I'm getting into "Avatar: The Last Airbender" due to curiosity.

Re: SDN Worlds 4 Commentary Thread I
Man, the Wiki editing process is quirky as hell. I don't seem to have the problems Thanas is having, but it sure is picky and inconsistent... 
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!
If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!
Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

The Collectors bought them, except instead of paying in currency they pay with the blood of a thousand Anglians!

Re: SDN Worlds 4 Commentary Thread I
I like this, Shroom.
Damn. That's pretty solid.Shroom Man 777 wrote:"SHITS!" bellowed Bragga, the IBGV's main operative on Pendleton. He slammed his bare bear paws on the desk and headbutted the cathode ray telescreen in front of him. The screen cracked, but in a testament to superior Bragulan engineering the display still functioned and continued to display the image of the Collector ship. Or, rather, the hyperwake of the Collector ship's drives, as the ship had literally left them to eat its dust.
Of course, now we begin to see why the Bragulans make everything ridiculously durable..."I KNOW!" roared Bragga as he threw his telescreen at the human. The human gave a yelp of horrer and ducked as the telescreen narrowly missed smashing his skull open. The telescreen instead bounced off the wall and crashed onto the floor. Yet, remarkably, it still functioned perfectly despite its cracked screen and dented casing. Bragga growled, angered at the fact that he had missed, that he hadn't smashed the puny human's puny face with the thrown telescreen. "Damn!"
Obviously, for all it proves is that the Collectors are treacherous, and the Bragulan Empire always assumes that everyone is treacherous at all times!"I don't know!" Bragga roared again, but instead of throwing something else - like his desk - at the human, he instead slumped on his chair. He fumed and pondered his options. Bragule would not take too lightly at the fact that he had nothing at all to report on the Collector ship, aside from it seemingly leaving the Pendletonians high and dry. That was something, an indicator of Collector behavior, but that something was as good as nothing.

I'm even more impressed if they did that with vacuum tubes; tubes tend to be fragile spun-glass constructions.

Re: SDN Worlds 4 Commentary Thread I
Nonsense!
For is not the essence of Bragulanity to have products that work before, during, and after having the crap beaten out of them? A steel vacuum tube would be broken before it even left the factory, regardless of any crap-beating that the mighty Bragulan user might choose or not choose to dish out!
And that would be what the human capitalists of the Sovereignty would call "planned obsolescence." And you wouldn't want that, would you? Would you?
No, for this particular application* we cannot use Bragulan steel! Instead we must use inch-thick sheets of Bragulan superbulletrayproof glass!**
*Vacuum tube walls, for anyone lost in the ideology of Bragulanism...
**Use of Bragulan steel for fitting and framework of the tube-based system is still an option. A mandatory option.
