U.S. States without the i's.

Here you go Sae, I think you'll like this song too...

Loved it ^_^ Heard it before, but I do enjoy that song ^_^

No.

Yes, you are. Putting letters where there are none, putting soldiers where you need none.

You just had to make a lengthy reply didn't you?

Well... it's more many short-medium replies put together than anything

Someone has to lose. I'd rather lose, learn from my mistakes and move on than be on the winning side and constantly gloating about the victory. Anyway, you're not supposed to gloat, it don't look too good when you do. Especially if you are in need of help, people remember your gloating and may think twice about helping. No one likes a big mouth.

Someone doesn't have to lose, really. Sometimes two people can be fighting a war with each other, realize I'm a bigger threat, temporarily ally with each other to eliminate me, or make me less of a threat. Then they return to fighting each other soon after they are done trying to bring me down ^_^

Me, I'd rather be on the winning side. But when winning, one shouldn't stop the push. Use the situation of being stronger to your advantage. Weaken your enemies where you can, and set yourself up to be stronger. I agree with you about gloating... even the strongest can require allies. And when the strongest join with the second strongest... that's when things get messy for the little guys.

I have decided that Master of Orion needs an expansion in the largest galaxy size, and that all the races in the game should be able to be present if so desired. <--off topic, but thought I'd mention what I was thinking

Probably because the British had no fear and/or they had a reputation to maintain. No idea really.

Maybe... perhaps a topographical map from the area would better explain it. :S

No, the bad leaders you have can't be pinned on us. Nor can your problem with religion.

And why can't I pin that on you? The problem religions came from overseas, and at least some of our leaders have had brits in their genes. (Nah, I was just being silly with you in both those lines, I know full well we can't pin those on you )

BTW, I actually agree with the American rebellion. If I was around in that time period I would of done the same as you traitors. Who wants to pay really high taxes for a bastard of a king thousands of miles away? Though the high taxes was high so to pay for the empire. Empire's aren't cheap you know.

Form the empire as you form a business. Result? Money Who needs to tax the people when most of them work for your megacorporation to create products to sell to other empires? Only really greedy people, that's who.

The only thing I dislike about America most is it's big mouth and big headedness. What I dislike about this country most is it's fucking leaders and corruption. I guess every nation has it's ups and downs though.

+1

Having downs isn't so bad, depending on what they are. IE: A down in crime because the population will almost never commit one because they like the laws and agree with them? Not such a bad down. I dislike that we didn't annex Iraq... killing all of its people off or forcibly relocating them (which is still killing a number of them off) and taking over the land... that's something I could support. Ramifications with the UN could be annoying... but they bullcrapped a number of strong nations into helping them fight a war of (religious?) revenge in Iraq/Afghanistan, so they would probably have been fine with the move, if highly frowned upon. The question is whether the gain is worth annoying the other powers. It could easily gain some American support if dressed the right way, especially with the influx of cheaper goods they could enjoy.

America is a powerful entity... it's no wonder that some of its people should feel empowered. A lot of it is false... but we clearly had the capacity to invade and take over some countries (ie: Iraq). Playing the hero is stupid if you are not also playing for keeps.
