Quote from: ColonelHardissonWhy so? You've mentioned this twice in this thread, so I figured I'd ask.

I'll also chime in with a vote for Full Thrust as a good space combat system. As has been said, no 3D, but it seems the game is infinitely customizable.

By the way, if anyone who likes Full Thrust and Babylon 5 would like an "official" B5/Full Thrust game, try to locate the Earthforce Sourcebook for Chameleon Eclectic's defunct Babylon 5 RPG (which is not as good as the later d20/OGL version by Mongoose). The EFS has a space combat system based on Full Thrust and written by Jon Tuffley himself.

Well, Jackson is apparently a texas neocon who allows right wingers to hang out on his forums and pretty much say anything they want, but he bans, or lets his dog, andy hackard, ban anyone who shows leftist tendencies.

On his forums you get banned for saying things that are true, but offend someone, unless the person or persons offended are democrats, liberals, or french.

I guess I hate jackson because he preactices "Texas political correctness", which is a variant of PC that allows for insults to be directed against democrats, liberals or the french but doesn't allow true things to be said that seem 'offensive' to other groups.

Oh, yeah, he uses Stalinistic practices on the forums, and I don't like that either.

Plus he allows andy hackard to ban people just because he doesn't like them personally, and without even giving a reason.

Meanwhile users like paladin are allowed to insult and attack users, sometimes bringing their mothers into the insult without consequence. He also attacks users after they've been banned, which is cowardly in addition to being despicable.

The whole SJG forums have been reduced to having 4 types of users:

Moderators.
People who write for SJG.
Toadies who suck off the mods at every opportunity. (Qoltar and the whole "Paul support group.)
Right wing assholes. (Paladin, Sam Cade.)

Every other user has either  been banned or driven away.

I guess those are good enough reasons to hate him.

Another thing I don't like about stevie is his inability to deal with any disagreement with his decisions. I mean, he made the idiotic decision to release GTIW without a single, solitary piece of gear, then claims that because he had reasons to make that decision anyone who disagrees with it is wrong and doesn't understand his reasoning.

Hey, jackson! maybe we DO understand your reasoning, and STILl disagree with it. Quite a few people have blasted GTIW for it's lack of gear, but SJG treats all dissent as, and I quote andy hackard, "Whining".

I don't like arrogant people.

QuoteJust remember one thing: The atom bomb was invented and built in America using american measurements.

Is that a Stephen Colbert line?

EDIT: You dominus Nox, are off-kilter for sure. I like that. I will stop argueing with you from now on.

Hey, as an american I'm tired of 'the system' forcing what it thyinks is best on me and my country instead of obeyig the will of the people like it's supposed to.

As to the A bomb ref, I'm getting tired of people making americans out to be stupid, lazy, etc and just want to remind people that during the 20th century, America lead the world in technology, science and industry.

I know it's going downhill fast, but people still forget it's great achievements during the 20th century.

I love the USA. I think it`s a great country. It's also a science hothouse. Your arguments are weak, but your country is not, that is assured. Let's not fight where we are basically of the same opinion.
