SDN Worlds 4 Commentary Thread II

[Simon_Jester]

Well, the Yehat are more like Scotshighlanderbirdies, but I don't see why not. I like Yehat. If we can find anyone who wants to play them I will achieve clam-like levels of happy.

Or, for that matter, if the actual Mayabird wants to play, which may be what Shroomy originally meant.

[DarthShady]

What do you say we make things even more interesting?

[Shroom Man 777]

Yes.

[Simon_Jester]

Wow. Siege's balls-of-steel military move looks like it might be about to light off Galaxy War II...

[Force Lord]

Working on my post.

EDIT: Katr_Kana, I await your interaction with Kordis.

You havent' see anything yet.

[Shroom Man 777]

Brag Boomers are on standby!

Exactly. That's the point.

[Force Lord]

Galaxy War II? When was the first?

[Simon_Jester]

Chamarran War, arguably. As far as major conflicts involving combined forces significantly larger than those of an individual stellar nation, anyway.

[Shroom Man 777]

Bragsday doesn't happen until Byzon says it happens!

Well, there was the three-year Second Centralist War, which was brutal enough to call the attention of the U.N.. Sorchus and me came up with this (with Zor's agreement) in order to explain why the EUC and the NAC view the Centrality with much suspiscion and worry.

EDIT: By PM, of course.

[MKSheppard]

Exactly. That's the point.

At least we'll see some nice tonnage reductions.

[Fingolfin_Noldor]

The most brutal war the Galaxy has seen is the Imperium-Tau war.

Enough said.

[Darkevilme]

There was also the war where some nameless aliens invaded known space and were such a big deal the Earth alliance flet was formed to fight them(the founding of the UN). So technically this is either galaxy war 3 or 4.

[Shroom Man 777]

BRAGSDAY is far better/worse than any of the examples any of you can give! Dropping moons on little grey alienoids' snooty arrogant homeworlds. And, like, how we decimated the Scron.

There's also the Amplitur Wars.

But BRAGSDAY. The greatest/worst day in the universe!

Dropping a planetoid on the Apexai homeworld doesn't count. That was one-on-one, mano a bearo. Ditto for your war with the Scron. "Galaxy War" should be reserved for wars that involve more forces on either side than a single national fleet can muster.

The Amplitur War, on the other hand, might qualify since it at least involved more than two galactic-scale powers. Three, to be exact...

OK. So yes, Galaxy War III or IV. Darkevilme is right.

[Shroom Man 777]

Bah! Bragsday is better/worse than all our silly Galaxy Quests!

[Fingolfin_Noldor]

When was the Chamarran war again?

The Imperium-Tau war probably holds the record for the number of worlds subjected to exterminatus by sheer bloody mindedness.

It also involved elements from the Empire of Suzumiya Haruhi as well.

Well, I'd like to stick to, at a minimum, conflicts that involve a maximum-effort or near-maximum effort commitment of forces by three or more powers equivalent to a 20+ NCP nation in the game. If the Haruhiists committed heavily to the Tau war, then it qualifies.

Just how many wars were fought on the Total War level anyway? Just about every Imperial citizen was drafted to fight a war of annihilation, and the death toll is probably on the order of hundreds of billions at least, lasting for decades.

The Imperial Armed Forces was vastly larger in that era. It's a shadow of its former self now.

[Steve]

Well, your war did result in the near-extinction of a major star-faring race (the Tau).

The combined death toll of the Dilgrud Wars is in the neighborhood of 78-80 billion, with the 1st and 3rd being the bloodiest.

[Force Lord]

There's my bit. I'm thinking of doing one or two more posts about the Black Berets' POV before having Forg talk to Shetty.

[Agent Sorchus]

Hey steve do you have a idea of all the times the UN has been active (ie actively stomped on someones war like the Chamarans)? Cause I have half a mind that all the activity was in a short period of time.

[Force Lord]

Thanks Katr_Kana. Let's see how things end up when Kordis arrives on the scene.
