Cant argue with the contrast of then vs now though, must have been kind of scary RPing back then ; I noticed a steep decline in the number of "old" nations and the quality of militaristic RPs around late 2012. maybe the apocalypse was true after all.
Yeah, the wars were pretty violent (Crookfur gave a good summary). They even wrote a guide on what to expect and how to properly use the IGNORE-cannon.
So yes, back in '07 you were fully expected to post losses if you took upon yourself the wrath of a nation revolving around star-wars canon.
-The first RP-war I got into involved clone-armies, the literal Black Hand of Nod from the C&C franchise (they were the good-guys), hellbore-cannons, three fire-raids, two instances of sliding a tectonic-plate into the sea, and at least three open-air nuclear detonations.
At that time, most of my military was using '70s vintage with tanks about thirty years further behind the tech-curve (using late WW2 era tech for suspension). We survived by being clever.
