Which one?

posted 04-18-99 12:44 AM ET            

1. My colonists far outnumber Winston's.
2. My colonists are more than 1 planet can bear.
3. Winston's colonists fit on 1 world quite nicely.
4. Winston would have extra space to put his Dracona 2 people on if he has 3 planets.
5. I would need to move my colinists, in part, somewhere else. Dracona 2 would be ideal for them. EXCEPT that Winston has bases there which I graciously granted space.

The conclusion makes sense. Simple really.

Of course I vote for AqKnow here.

I dont really see Political Imprisonment as an 'atrocity' - it doesnt have the same 'Oh my god - how could they do that!' kind of feel...

What are flavoured tachyons? Bloody Trek!

Hmm - how about genetic experimentation? Hmmm, torture, certainly...

Mass Genocide-YES! This is Ethnic Cleansing, so clear that, Ethnic Cleansing sounds a LITTLE better. If the Milsovec, Hubert (OOC: This is an American I made up, who instigates a large eugenics/religious inquisition program with mass killings in 2041, Lal hints at something like this), Hitler and Stalin commited Atrocities, then it is.
Flavored Tacyhons-Yes, there was a vote on this already (on another thread from a while back).
Nerve Stapling-Yes, mind control is BAD!
Mass Execution-Like genocide only non-discriminate. Yes.
Political Imprisonment-Nah, China got away with it, America got away with it, so should we. I mean, do you want to make it no fun to be TC or Police?
Religious oppression-No. What would the religious fanatics do? Though Hubert and Torqumandoua (sp?) were bad, who can say that noone can be a bunch of Fundamentalist idoits. I personally would vote yes on this, but I feel that it would hurt other Factions too much (make the game not fun).
Ethnic Cleansing-See genocide
Genetic Experimentation-NO! NO, NO, NO! How would the cure for AIDs have come about? The Cloning vats? Logevity Vaccine? Many of my researchers are doing genetic experimentation, of course humans don't get tested until we are almost ABSOULUTELY sure it is safe. I am sure many of you, possibily with the exception of those primatives under Karok, are genetically enhanced.
Nuclear Weapons-Yes, they are like PBs
Chemical Weapons-Yes, see above.
Biological Weapons-Yes, see above.
Mind Control Drugs on others-Yes, it is like Chem or Bio Weapons almost, only better.
Mind Control Drugs on your people-No, this is the foundation of TC soceities.

And mine:

Sabatoging Research-Knowledge is the greatest thing a human may have, to destroy it is a prime evil.
Psi Weapons-They are like Mind Control.
DimTears-Worse than PBs
PBs-Self-explanitory
Forced Assimilation-Like Nerve Stapeling.
Usage of superweapons like the Star destroyer from Star Wars or Planet Eater from ST:TOS-Like DimTears.
Forced De-Assimilation-The logical consequence of forced assimilation.

We are requesting a meeting with all Human faction leaders to discuss possible ceasefire between you and the Acheans. Also requesting that you abide by our territory and Korian withdraw his fleet from aeound our territory.

We also wish to meet with all human leaders to possibly discuss your entrance into the Herculean Triad, a treaty between us, possibly you, and a neighboring planet in Beta Truix.

First off, I offer a Treaty of Friendship. This will be a preliminary treaty that could later change to a Pact.

Next, I would just like to say that while we are in a war with the Acheans, we are not at war with you(at least everyone but Korian). I ask all human factions to withdraw from Herculean Space.

The Herculean Triad's member are us and the Truixians. It is a formal economic, diplomatic and military alliance. The Truixians request a meeting with JT 3.
They are in appearance, look like a large praying mantis. They love the arts and are peaceful. They wish to contact you as soon as possible. Since we are allied they help us with any matter needed and as you saw we are bothed tied to the Acheans.

Thank you for accepting the treaty.

To opress religion is a sin, to prevent atheism is peity. To control the minds of people to bend them to your Satanic will is sin, to assist them in seeing His Glory is peity. Assimilation to evil is a sin, to end it forcibly is nesseciated by His Will. To alter that which God created, to mess with the human genetic structure, is sin; to stop it is Right.
I support Winston, Gelen would covet his neighbohr's land, he would part with God's Commandments.
Additionally, these ought to be atrocities:
To forsake God, and to not see that God's Will is spread throughout your land.
To take the name of the Lord our God in vain.
To hold council on the Sabbath day.
To kill your's or other's people except when it is God's Will.
To steal from another Faction without God.
To covet what is another Faction's.

Anyone with any intelligence whatsoever is atheist. I have a million facts about how many of the stories in The Bible were formulated.

All of the religions of the world are dogma, but the worst is by far Christianity. I was raised as a Christian, but ever since about 2nd grade I had doubts. I prayed for 4 YEARS for faith, but faith never came. I came to realize that any God willing to die on a cross to save up because he want to be with us should also be willing to grant one person faith. There is no Jesus, God or Holy Spirit. Science will eventually prove all of this.
