Sabre Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Indeed. That's how sparta had pro soldiers, whereas in the film, athenians were volenteers, cos the spartans didn't need to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asper Sarnoff Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Oh BTW, Julius, even though the idea of a militaristic nation who conquers anyone who stand in their way may sound tempting, there does excist something called reality, and I'm afraid that your grand army would look more like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG1oepmymk8&feature=related Couldn't help it :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Warrior nations are flawed as once everyone is conquered, they self destruct. see the vikings for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asper Sarnoff Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Well, the vikings didn't exactly self destruct, at least not in Norway. Here it was a guy named Olav Haraldson, later known as Saint Olav, which made himself king and compulsory christened us. Told us to be nice to the other kids in the sandbox so to speak... But there are a lot of other examples to what you just said, take the huge empire of Genghis Khan. As soon as he died, it just fell apart from inner strungle.

Guest Para Astaroth Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 julius, i read your thing about your own nation, i mean YOURS alone, and I just have a question: if everyone can have whatever type of arms as they see fit, then what will you do if they dropped atomic bombs/ nukes/ H-Bombs down on your capitol? Gotta think about the risks and flaus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta think about the risks and flaus... not everyone can have all types of arms they want in my nation (except for small arms, everyone can have those) but WMD's are generally limited to those that served in our military (as officers), and NO FOREIGNERS ARE ALLOWED IN OUR CAPITOL (except for dignitaries, but they wouldn't risk blowing themselves up in my capitol), and NO ONE flies over our capitol, period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Para Astaroth Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 well, i guess we'll see more suicide bombers in your nation now, huh? Like Ahkmed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Julius Quasar Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 highly unlikely,the people of my nation are nutty vigilantes, who shoot first and ask questions later, very hard for suicide bombers to act in those environments...plus, they would know how to disarm bombs, since we teach stuff like that in our schools (hopefully).... but, this whole thread is hypothetical...people may complain about America, but if they lived in ANY other nation in the world (even a Western, civilized, industrialized 1st World Nation) they'd think differently...even Canada, as nice as it seems, doesn't have the same freedoms as America, so I've been told.

Sabre Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 and NO ONE flies over our capitol, period You keyboard has a period key. It looks like this --> . When you invade like a plauge of locusts, you mean you eat all the crops, making old farmer john mad? Plus I doubt your invastion would work on my nation. First off would be the logistal problems, second you would have to deal with a nation of player characters, all over leveled with the best gear on the planet. I'm a science nation remember.

Sabre Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I'm starting to think people are missing points deliberatly to stir up drama. People get angry when I talk down to them so it's a lose lose situation. Smart azz? Smart as what? A smart fonze? The reason I take issue withg people who who type peirod is the same as the distain I have for people who would say /thread or pwnage or iche no baka in RL in a serious way because they think it's cool. In case you missed it, the point of this post was to point out how it's silly and unessesary, and doesn't have the desired effect. That includes your wacky 90s spelling that makes you seem like an action figure. Probley with the word Xtreme!!! in there somewhere. The main content of my previous post, jokes aside, was that my nation is in space, or underwater. I would also have very unique and smart inderviduals equiped with all the miricals of science. His tactic of simple swarming enemies wouldn't work, even if he did get the gear nessesary, he would have a hard time getting in, and even if he did, he would at least expect major losses.

Guest Para Astaroth Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Dude, I could really care less if I typed in the 70's style, so yeah, I never said anything about the way you spelled things so don't mention that part. Also, even though you do use big words, I could care less what they mean and don't infer most of what we say. I used smartazz because I don't want to use the double "ss" in the word because I know this site prohibits foul language, so that's why I talk like that. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Julius Quasar Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 You're welcome I just can't stand people that try to be all technical. Like that wisecrack mmm... As for a nation, I tried an old, OLD SIMS game (forgot which one) and it wasn't really that good...I wish they could develop a better SIMS game for Wii, or PS2, or whatever....I don't like to play SIMS on the PC as much (long story) I'd like to play SIMS where you do rule your own nation, or just like the "Bustin' Out" game for PS2 that I once had.

Guest Para Astaroth Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I could never understand the SIMS game, so I stayed out of the franchise and stuck to racing/FPS games for now. It's basically what type of games i own now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Para Astaroth Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 eeeeehhhhh i saw the reviews and all, but i'm not much of an RPG/Strategy game person. I just can't seem to do the right thing whenever i do play them. If I get all the stuff I need, I'd still get crushed by people online that only play that ONE game. Halo Wars (uuugggghhhhhh, i hated that game) is a referrable example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 That's intermediate/high end play. I can teach you that if you want. Personally, I'm not a fan of high end play. I once became a bloody good Dystopia player because I loved that game, unfortunatly, I started getting angry at my teams relative incompetence, so I stopped playing.

Guest Para Astaroth Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 eehhhhh I'd rather stick to FPS/3PS and some racing games since they're so straight forward in their genre. I would also like to see a sandbox version of Starfox; Go anywhere you want, shoot anything you want, blow anything up you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No slander, all advertisements must be true to the elector's word.Where in the world would you establish your nation/how would you obtain that?Teh moon.Would you make allies, or trust no one?Trust no oneHow would your military work?Simple militia only large enough to defend this small island and not invade anyone else.Laws?Of course!Society in general? (Traditions, beliefs, etc.)Being that in the 21 century, traditions and beliefs spread through hippies and coffee shop workers like a wildfire. No exact control over any traditions or beliefs, only keeping those of the semi-christian American culture.Healthcare?I don't know what conservatives are thinking, they just want more money through the healthcare companies.
