So, you say that there should be an international treaty, with huge teeths, chopping down any greenhouse spewers? I mean, what side of the fence are you? Why is the arguments of Anti-Kyoto : "It too political, not solving the problem!". This is the demonstration about how much some peoples are brainwhashed. Even if they are against an issue, they try to bash it with arguments that should come from the other side! Now, if you had said: "Kyoto won't change a thing because human e

Well, I won't object to the fact that the Earth has been hotter (and colder) in the past. However, the recent changes are really exponential - which correlate with the exponential increase of pollution, worldwide -. I find something funny: You are ready to beleive one side or the other. The "Humanity has nothing to do with it" side is backed by billion of dollars of the polluting industries who doesn't want to loose some profits, while the "Humanity is causing it" is backed by... what?

What kind of game type? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I was wondering, as RTS strategy game goes (especially if you plan multiplayer action), you have to close a game within 3-4 hours (or less. 4 hours being real huge games). What do you expect to be the lenght of a multiplayer game? In the solo-mode, do you plan a huge campaign on the same map? Do you plan to include "sandbox" battles, à la GalCiv2, where I begin with 1 planet, and have to conquer the whole universe? Or will Sins of a Solar Empire will be more like a StarCraft-lik

I bet it will be a "not many races-many faction/races" feature. Less, less, less ship-designing.. Think of StarCraft Terrans: Confederation Sons of Khoral Umojan Federation (?) Kel-Morian Protectorate (Something like that..) so about the Zergs, and etc.. If you applied it to GalCiv2, you would have the Terrans, the Torians and the Drengins. But there wo

Ship Designs? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Hi there, I am a huge fan of GalCiv2 + the Homeworld series, and I am eager to play this game. I wanted to know, do you plan to include some kind of ship designs to the game? I know that, as a RTS, we won't have the time, in-game, to draw our own ships, but what about importing ship designs from the GalCiv2's Ship editor? Or have a simple "out of the game" editor, allowing you to import ship shapes into the game? That way, clans in Multiplayer would have their own "Design Mark"

I don't follow you. Do you beleive to Global warming or not? I think that the fact that the average temperature of Earth is rising was now completely accepted. Quicker in the polar sections than the equatorial, as proven by many studies. People are still debating if there is or not worldwide climate changes?

2 questions: - what will be the mod-compatibility of this marvelous/drool-provoking game? - Can you make it possible to import ship designs from the GalCiv2's library? (based on simple "look")

One of the big problem of U.S.A. (I don't want to solely point the finger, we have out own problem over here too) is that you promote lobbying at a superlevel. Political parties own more to the contributors to their campaigns than they do to their voters. Republican Vs Democrats would work perfectly, if it wasn't for all the: - Gun Lobbies - Pharmaco-lobbies - Religious-lobbies And since these lobbies do not only contribute monatery, but some even control the m

attended by 50 people and 20 bin bags, presumably containing human beings. So, you say that a human being wearing a burqa is worth less than one not wearing it? Are you beggining to evaluate the value of people based on what they wear - and why - ? That kind of thinking always lead to rascism (or religionism, or whatever you call it). Yo

True. It was so cool/frustrating playing the Federation. Your support would get high really often, but you would be just useless in war, 'cause no planetary invasion was allowed.. However, I onced manage to get a Federation-wide "fanatic" morale level by liberating a minor species from the Cardies and making them member within the same round. I just looved it

The difference is that those topics are actually relevant discussion material, since they relate to GC2.

Well, Scatter629 asked a very valid question that many here should rest on. At which point are you frozen in your political party's tradition? I have read a lot of rant about "America will prevail if we keep the leftist like Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore and the like out of the White House." Saying that the Democrats should never be put in power, 'cause that will cause the Doom (and defeat) of U.S.A. You have to consider how much you like "democracy", when you say that. Would y

The way I see it, factories and tech labs are government-runned complexes, while Economical bonus buildings favor the private industry. If you BUY something, you invest directly in private industry.. mm.. maybe we could try to put in a money loop, where you get back in taxes what you invest in private industries?

Kryo, I followed the link you showed us, and I am sorry to report that.. *ahem*, the kind of arguments that are talked over there are WAY, WAY below what I expect from the GalCiv2's forum. This forum is about the only one I actively read political arguments (even if it doesn'T concern GC2) because we aren't here mainly to argument about politic, but because we all love the game. Peoples should not gather because they want to talk politics, it leads to the kind of stupidity you often see

The OP isn't saying they are better then any other group, he's just marveling at thier kindness and chairity in the matter. Most people wouldn't blame the guy's family, but very few would likely go to such great efforts, inspite of thier own loss, to reach out with such kindness. He's being kind and reflective, and there is no need for you to get in a huff about it.

Reply to Seen the Amish Response? in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

Why the Amish more than any other community? Why would you blame a man's family base on his action? Do they participated, helped him, supported him? If you feel that way, how do you think they feel? Don't you think they just want to disapear from the world's magnifying lence called the Media? Edit: It seems to me the Amish needs much less help than any other community that has real problem in school violence. The Killer (in Hell he Burns) was not an Amish. However,

You all make me laugh, with your demagogue quotes. You each try to convice each other that you are right, the other is wrong. You try with words, words, words, but it never works. But you still try, you still do. Because you feel you need to do it. Because you have to try to go rant on an internet forum, where the only peoples who will read you are those who are on your side, and those who will oppose you. Again, still only in words.

I wonder how many people still think that politician who "really care for the family-values" and all that kind of nonsense after the recent scandale. I mean, they are simply advancing their agenda/political career by being hypocrit about these "values". And their ennemies are trapped, because since these liars already took the mantle of "family values", no one can oppose them on these ground! We recently had one of these hyprocit recently, in Canada. He's a member of the conser
