You're the guy with Angry Marine on SpaceBattles.com?
Remember Mith,the guy who follows him?
He,can't disprove Downstreamers. :P :lol:
Know that 40k 610 GIGATON torpedo(120 5 GIGATON fusion warheads),he always tells that a writer made a mistake in writting(12 warheads) and says that the Torpedo is too big.
Yeah that's me.
Mith used to not even contest that quote, until Oragahn decided that it was retconned, or that no one is capable of achieving fusion more efficiently than modern day nuclear weapons. Although Mith doesn't really post much anymore anywhere really. The massive warsie conspiracy's got him down, or he found better things to do with his time.

I've witnessed the insanity of some of the more rabid trek vs. debaters from the earliest days of ASVS, (I lurked a lot) and it still amazes me that there are people obsessive enough to think that there's actually an Evil Warsie ConspiracyTM directed against them.

For most of us, Vs. debating is something we do for fun in our free time. For Darkstar and those like him, it's some kind of twisted obsession.

He can't rationalize Gigaton or Teraton level firepower in franchises that have casual melting of planetary crusts, and can on occasion blow up planets, but he thinks stargate can pull them off? The same stargate where ship weapons hitting the ground look like over sized grenade explosions?
But don't you know, they have gigaton nukes? Therefore all their weapons must have TEH GIGATONZ. Whereas everything above megaton in SW or 40K is hyperbole/chain reaction/NDF etc.

As Darth Hoth noted, everything to him is open to interpretation, preferably one that doesn't involve TEH GIGATONZ.

Pretty much. Most of the members at SFJ are on a Crusade to Defeat the dreaded ICS and the EVIL WARSIE CONSPIRACY. That and pretend they are unbiased paragons of logic

They're not particularly good at it then. When you have to edit the living daylights out of posts the content of which you don't like rather than simply showing they're wrong that's a pretty good indication that content is right but you're flat out unwilling to accept it.
Unbiased paragons of virtue my incredibly inconsistently kevlar-clad behind. Mind you you did say pretend.

Still Mr.Oraghan(or Orangutan) can't disprove 610 Gigaton torpedo thing and the fact that it took 183 of those to destroy the Space Hulk.
He can whine as long he can,but this isn't SW EU it's 40k cannon thing.

As I said the way he interprets 40K canon, lack of specific mention of 610GT torpedoes in the later editions of Space Hulk constitutes as a retcon in his mind.

EDIT: And I dont think its him or mith posting on factpile, but definitely some other members from SFJ

Don't remember anything specific, but like all scifi VFX it is scientifically flawed in one way or another. And therefore easy to pick apart and derive a lower yield or write off as non DET weaponry

How can VFX be scientifically flawed? They're nothing but images. They do nothing but show what happens. They show what happens, nothing more. The analysis of the scenes can be flawed, but never the scenes themselves.

No.
