Decided to actually make a sig.

[zMessiahz]

Whatcha think?

[Sandtaco]

That's nice, but wrong forum.

[zMessiahz]

Oops. ah well delete away!

[afex]

is that the death star?

would be more appropriate for a TR sig :D

[DiosT]

not really...

VS = technology....


And from the star wars side of me:
DS was actually made/designed by aliens(see Episode 2--war room scene)

[afex]

well seeing as how the TR are like the mighty empire attempting to crush the rebellion, i'd say my analogy is more correct.

[zMessiahz]

Its our secret weapon :) Ever wonder whot he Vanu were? I suppose it could fit the TR... rule through oppression and all. But all the Vanu talk of leading the unenlightened to their destiny made me think of the Empire. They're apt to create a autocracy quicker thent he TR. The TR will always has some stinkin ruling council or senate around to slow things down.

[DiosT]

but.. TR isnt mighty?

so i think the alien technology side is more correct ;-P


sides, TR doesnt use any alien technology ;-P

[Nohimn]

The death star works because Vanu are sci-fi geeks

[BLuE_ZeRO]

I could go with Afex's analogy because the empire gets owned by that small rebellion. So it's all good. This goes at the end of this conversation. No need to argue any further. :rawr:

[Mold]

hamma, i am your father!

If you are an American and you believe in the system of the US, then you should be NC. They have the same ideas as the Americans did during the revolution. Except a new factor the VS, but we will just say that the VS are the Indians so in other words:

NC = Americans
TR = British
VS = Native Americans... kinda hehe

I'd remake that to this:

NC = Americans
TR = Russians
VS = British and/or China

=)

[Saint]

I was talking about the American revolution, what the hell does Russia have to do with anything, same with China?

[Saint]

Maybe I don't know what the hell I am talking about. It would be anti-american to choose any empire other than the NC!

[afex]

pffft, you're acting as if i'm talking about vanu.

NC is the rebellion.

VS are the ewoks.

[Whoracle]

ur sig has nothing on mine

[BLuE_ZeRO]

This topic is lame. There is on going on in the official forums just like it. Basing anything off these background stories is pointless. If you're basing your choice on an empire off of their beliefs its stupid. When is that ever going to come into play in the game? Everyone isn't going to sit down and have a philosophical debate in the middle of a battle.

As for saying which empire is like which country what's the point? Once again it won't come into play during the game. Getting into the game is fine and all but way too many people are becoming story fanatics with this game.

All of our sigs fail in comparison to whoracles :(
No need to try

[Airlift]

TR is definately closest to America. The attitude they are taking towards the Vanu Tech is the same as our government's attitude about stem cell research and cloning science. They are a Republic (at least in name), same as the US. Both governments keep big secrets from the populace. The only clues we have that the Terran Republic is even oppressive is in the propoganda of the other two empires.

My 2 cents are that your sig looks cool but is incongruent with the game. It would be better used in a game that actually relates to Star Wars.

[zMessiahz]

BZ, you may not agree with chosing a side based off the story line, but other will. No way to avoid it. The story lines will definitely come into play in game. Just not in a way you seem to think. Each side will, for the most part, attract a certain type of player. PS is a team based game. The more ppl you can get along with in your empire, the more successful you will be. Even if you are in a large clan you will need to call in outside resources. Or even recruit new members. Thus it is beneficial to you to chose a side which has a background story that you like.

[Strygun]

TR are pretty much communists, hence Russia (think back to the soviets...) and China was the only other technological country I could think of besides america =)

[Whoracle]

my sig will never be congruent with anything which makes it that much better

[Airlift]

Blue, If you don't like the topic, then don't post on it. And sorry but Whoracle's sig is shite.

[Whoracle]

yours is supercool tho...

just a few overused PS filters and YAY

I could start using this one:

[Whoracle]

then id use this one...

http://www.cynic.ws/uploads/whorblock.gif

[DiosT]

umm.. i havnt heard much of the us's government standpoint on stem cell research....


but from what i'm hearing around, it's somewhat split down the middle among the citizens.. and spite what other countries think... we have some controll over our law making body at least(congress)...

though yes, there is a lot the US gov. does that the citizens have no control over if they even know.. but no top secret government agency is gonna shut down stem cell research....


It's the christians or something that are against it, or something, i dont give a damn about religeon since the one i was 'attempted' to be raised into has a lot of ideas I fiercly disargree with(pro-life & raping little boys = ok)

and I believe christianity(or is it just a generic branch?) is also deminishing in the US, as other immigrants of other religeons move in


anyway more useless babble to add to this useless babble thread =p

[Airlift]

At least Unreg's Obey gif makes proper use of transparency. Either one would be fine for the Vegas Strip, but they're way too distracting to make sig graphics. Far better to use cliched but subtle techniques than to distract from the post that you're trying to get across. You should just go ahead and use a punch the monkey or X-10 banner.

Besides, you should consider learning the difference between an overused filter and an overused layer effect.

[Unregistered]

I only whip out the bunnies when I must be obeyed. Which isn't often. And I must conceed to Whoracle. I remember that other one from TWL forums and I don't want to see it around here.

You win. Infact someone give him a title that says "I won"

[Whoracle]

ho hum?

only crybabies and retards will let a sig deter them from reading a post.

which are you?

[Unregistered]

Neither.

I didn't say I didn't read your posts. I said that second sig bugs me. No nifty titles for you now :D

[Whoracle]

iw asnt responding to u =( that was for airsoftforce or whoever

[Whoracle]

proper use of transparency? you can see the little jaggies.

mine make use of proper transparency. the WHORACLE bouncy text is supposed to stay on screen.

i made it that way

[Airlift]

which are you?

I'm the one that cares about your opinion. Oh wait, that's not me. I guess I'm that other one. Actually, the sig is useful because it lets me know when to skip ahead to the next post.

Did the British take over Canada again, because there was no (country of) Canada when the British burned the White House.

Nice Try Canuk, but the only thing you can lay claim to is helping storm the beaches of Normandy.

;)

And I really have nothing against Canada. The only 2 places I really despise is Dallas, TX, and Los Anglos, CA. Although Green Bay is really working hard to earn a place of hatred in my heart :D


So I leave you with this.....

whoracle has come to make our forums colorful with his interesting sigs! :x

and the original intent of this post was to comment on the guy's sig...its good...but its starwars :p

super star destroyer and a death star to be exact :o

course not all sigs on these forums HAVE to do with PS

[Whoracle]

Battle of Lake Erie....Brits in Canadia vs US POWER

Well by that logic the american revolution was never an american war since there was no (country of) America since you weren't a officially a country till the rebel colonies won the war. :)

[Whoracle]

oh but we were. we declared our independence and then went to war over it.

had we lost...our declaring our independence wouldnt have meant jack....but at the time we were america, and since we won, we stayed america.

Exactly, had you lost you wouldn't have been america, so you weren't really a fully fledged country yet.

It's like if i screamed out loud "I'm eMa's sEx slAve!!!" it doesn't mean i am till she spanks me and we....uhhhh anyway....ummmmm bye!

[Whoracle]

we WERE a full fledged country...just nobody wanted to recognize us for fear of the british government and the repercussions.

after we whupped ass they recognized us for what we were.

Silly Canadian.

The British burned the White House durring the war of 1812, not the Revolutionary War. The White House wasn't even built until after the Revolutionary war. Anything else in American History you want to know?

Ummm.... :huh:

I never said anything about the burning of white house, i was saying since by your logic Canada wasn't Canada it was a british colony then during the american revolution USA wasn't USA yet it was just 13 british colonies pissed off at their king. :)

[Unregistered]

Oh.....

Well then I have to agree with Whoracle. The U.S. became the U.S. when they released the Declaration of Indepenance.

[�io]

:rolleyes:

:lol:

I somehow figure americans would say that. So the fact that the 13 british colonies were only an official country after they won the war isn't important. Ok gotcha!

[Whoracle]

no. we were. what you are failing to realize is that when they declared independence from British rule, they became a free country.

end story.

whether or not the British recognized the new country or just as their rebellious colonies, makes no difference. they were a new country.

other countries DID acknowledge their independence BEFORE we won that war. The French recognized us as a independent nation before the war was won.

any other comments you would like shot down?


didnt think so :D

[ft-Marauder]

*ahem* Much burning ensued, and it was by people from North of the border. So bite me. :)

[Whoracle]

you are aware that you lost that war. so bite me.

[�io]

Marauder i suggest you follow my lead and simply give up this pointless debate.

You will never get an american to admit they are wrong, it just won't happen. :lol:

[Whoracle]

:rolleyes: especially when the other party is wrong and is just bullshitting

[Unregistered]

I doubt anyone in Canada has ever read this so your lack of understanding is understanable. This is the last paragraph of The Declaration of Indepenance.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America,* in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

*A nation is born.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

Don't worry unreg it's something Canada (The 51'st state of the United States of America) probably won't understand for some time.

[Unregistered]

That's because they have never declared their independence.


1837
Along with a general feeling that the government was not democratic, the failure of the executive committee to maintain the confidence of the elected officials leads to violent but unsuccessful rebellions in Upper and Lower Canada. The leaders, W.L. Mackenzie (Reformers) and Louis-Joseph Papineau (Patriotes), both escape to the U.S.

Close :(

The British give it all up 89 years later, and Canada is born. Can't wait for your Centenial Celabration.

1926
The Balfour Report defines British dominions as autonomous and equal in status (Nov. 18).

Sure call me a retarded moron, that just proves americans are so mature and intelligent. :lol:

As for Unreg the only mature guy here.

Sure you guys decided you were a nation but the original colonies were not officially a nation until they won the war. I mean heck that's what the war was for!! To get your freedom! If you would have lost the war then the American nation would have never been. It's like i said early you can say you're gay or the world's smartest man all you want but you aren't really until you proved it.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

Well actually that's not true. They were fighting for the right of their country to exist. If they had lost the country would have dissapeared but since we won our country was able to exist. Winning a war doesn't make you a country, the fact that they declared their independence made them one.

[Whoracle]

stop using sense Blue....

dio doesnt react well to it

[BLuE_ZeRO]

Most of my posts don't make much sense anyways so I guess I should make one or two that do to balance it out. :D

[Unregistered]

I suppose that Dio has a point to a certian extent. No one really thinks that the Confederate States of America was ever a country, but they did declare their independance from the U.S.A. and then lost their revolutionary war.

So by American Standards the U.S. was a country when we declared our Independance from England, but the Confedarates were not because they lost their war for Independance.

A bit hipocritical, but hey were you really surprised?

[Whoracle]

there is a difference.

to the South....they were a new "country" if you will. the United States chose not to recopgnize it just like the British did not recognize the US original.

You CAN claim all you want but until someone recognizes it, it really doesnt matter. The French recognized the US as a free country and then aided in the battle against the British.

nobody acknowledged the South (and it didnt help they lost either)

[Nohimn]

Technically, the Confederate States was a country. They declared themselves as a country and even had their own declaration of independence. They were a country.

But if you reconsider that kind of logic, that means I can write my own declaration of independence declaring my house as the country of Nohimnia.

[ft-Marauder]

LOL! The world DOES revolve around the USA. Just ask 'em. ;)

Anyone who thinks it doesn't revolve around the U.S. is either stupid, or British. I only say that because the Brits still think the world revolves around them.

Go for 100! You can do it! You silly little Amercian vs Canadian debaters.

The truth is really quite simple. US protects Canada by association and shared land mass. Canada sends the US women (and US sends the occasional woman up to Canada when the woman wants a laugh).
