The problem with most of my army being humans is if I give lots of humans machineguns they might start getting subvertive ideas. Though I do have lots of human cannon fodder they don't quite outnumber the total of Jekin troops.

"they're obviously none too bright, allowing you to choose the ship gives us an advantage, even when they could have forced us to meet on their terms".
Your first officer is obviously none too bright, thinking that we don't know that no reasonable commander of a small destroyer would dare harm the captain of a heavy cruiser that's sitting right on top of his ship. :P

:shock: :o :o

That's a nice flag. Anyone know where I can get a pic of a Vibro Sword in a Power Armor Guanlet and a pair of crossed rifles for mine?

What I did was I searched on Google for B&W images of a vulture and a sword, and fiddled about with the standard image editing equipment that came with my PC (MS paint, that kind of thing :D). For something as simple as a flag, that's more than sufficient.

Something like you describe might be kind of difficult to find on the internet....

If you guys had any idea how much I hated your goddamn hippy empire lovefests, I'm sure your brains would all simultaneously explode. Dinner Theater! Greased melon games! What's next, marijuana and an orgy? Oh,. no, that'd bee too rated "R" for the Axis of Happy.

*sigh*

Well, I guess it's up to me to change to mood. Grumble grumble.

Dude... the dinner theater is a satire of WW2, and Greased Melon is a hideously brutal sport compared to anything the Ousters may have.

The UP can't hate everyone has much as they hate the Hajr. And Altantis has the best relationship with the UP out of all the humans powers so... Besides don't you want to see dancing lizards mocking Hitler? Comdey Gold! Man Comdey Gold!

Really? Because the only sport the Ouster play is Conquer the Galaxy and Slaughter the Flatlanders, Then Have a Celebratory Orgy. Now, I've never seen a game of Greased Watermelon, but I doubt it involves bombing planets from orbit and massacring all who stand in your way, while turning your enemies against eachother with deciet and cleverness.

I must admit, the thought of a lizard dressed up as Hitler, mustache and all, is terribly amusing. :)

I'm trying to, but there's just no room for that in my head alongside the images of stars blackened by Ouster fleets and the delicate bones of women and children crushed beneath the armored boots of Hajr Dragoons as they clense your disgusting....

I'm sorry, wee bit inebriated. Just getting out all the frustration.

Dude greased melon games make british soccer riots look like tea-partys the water is often turned red with blood. Which is why we recomend humans wear armor, while this is not as good as glassing a planet for a "civilized sport" its fairly violent. as for Spring Time for Hitler you need to watch Mell Brook's "The Producers" to get the joke.

Dumb. That sport takes too long to clean up the field and start again. Hunting is as fun in it's way, and much more repeatable. It's especially amusing when you're hunting people.

Sports are for the idle. The idle are not serving the Overseer sufficiently. They are conspiring. They must be destroyed.
