Anyway putting that ramble aside, I do hope peeps know the differences between wide and tall empires, and having a large empire may prove a world of hurt just to think the plausible consequences and the full implications (not to mention ramifications) of playing as such. Every point of strength have its own flaw, and it's just a matter of time for a clever opponent to exploit it. I'm not trying to decide your empire size, no no. Just hope you can understand how hard it is to think of such scale, and the potential problems associated with it like the simple border problem. Empire A have a lot of ships and a large border. This at a glance can be seen that Empire A is indeed more powerful than its less unfortunate cousin, say Empire B that have only a handful of systems and a handful of ships.

Now, space as it is very huge and Empire A cannot have all of its ships everywhere at once as it would thin out its force too thin to stop a dedicated and persistent attacker from breaking into specific weakpoints of the empire's borders. The clever Empire B then would use this to its advantage, by collecting information on Empire A's weak points even though it's clearly militarily disadvantaged in terms of numbers. Depending on how clever Empire B, much damage can be done toward Empire A, like inciting rebellions, causing losses than profit from interstellar trade, or even breaking Empire A into multiple smaller splinter factions that are infused with Empire B propaganda to shoot each other while turning a blind eye to the real puppeteer. Anyhow end rant, and I know i'm being ironic to bring this up in this thread even though there are far more suitable thread listed on my sig for it.

Any tech is prone to wank, it's not black and white though FT seem to have the most prominent tech for it given a majority of NSers have that a little bit of scientific geek in them (myself not excluded). Given the prevalent trend of more and more futuristic games being released, surely this can or will concede to trigger an influx of newcomers into FT scale. I don't see fantasy genre have alot of players anyway (as in per II but i noted there are fantasy-themed groups like Ceaden).

Yeah, waiting for hlad to come online.

Nice rant, by the way.

That we know of.

No.

FT is probably the segment of NS most opposed to techwanking. All of our gameplay hinges to a much greater degree on cooperation, compared to MT or PMT, or even PT or FanT. If we pointlessly inflate our own capabilities, we become guilty of attempting to win at Nationstates, which ruins the game for everyone.

But FanT is also prone to similar sorts of wanking, no?

Worth it. Needed to be said to stop from negating all the work we're putting into this group.

The RP's he posted aren't that bad... except for the run-on sentences everywhere and the tech base he posted in his app.

And you've never interacted with him OOC. Trust me. It needed to be said.

To whit, he is the standard of BAD in the general FT community. I would advise excising his brand of ineptness before its given a chance to take hold. I've been dealing with it for something like seven years, and he was a joke even then.

Sythyn's talking about Neros. I'm talking about you. To whatever extent my opinion carries wait in this group, which may not be much based on some of the applications that have been accepted, I am entirely against your being permitted to join, as you have the potential to entirely undo the good work that I and others have put in to improve their RP.

He's an ass in OOC. See the last few pages, now known as the Neros vs. Nations-with-"Terran"-in-Their-Names saga.

Who is, by the way? Neros, Miehm, or Terran?

Neros was being an ass to Miehm and Telros.
