But they would have been mad at being called a "person," right?
Pretty much, yeah. :P
If he is talking about the person I think he is talking about, it isnt the person who shall not be named
Uh...huh?

Because it was so one sided, you want a debate give us something that we can debate on. When I started the WotW's I gave wars that could go either way, this one was a curb stomp.

Romulans would win, Cardassians would lose.

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

no,teaos, conflicts are not as clear cut as that at all, technical supremacy, convergence/divergence of political and public will and sustainability and adaptivity/maladaptiveness of industrial bases are no guarantors of a victor in a conflict, from the Halfaweyen, Sikut, Mahas ,Danagla , midianites, sakae, parthians, kshatriya, to the twentieth century struggles and successes of the mgbo, ogba, ukwuani to the north vietnamese or the Hmong, Yao, Tai dumm, and Shan or armenians and dagestanis.
From the egyptian middle kingdom until now even in Caucas conflicts or turko-sinic central asia , there are far more variables and it is naive to suggest otherwise or to base the assumption of a military outcome of half a dozen variables.
You may have a hard time believing my statement about the vote change, but its true, i'm not in the habit of lying and am buoyed by your optimism of the integrity of forums' population, and for 99% its true but the incident of which i spoke is true.

True that their can be cases where sides that seem to be at a disadvantage can win but in this case most people didnt seem to think so.

It seems the vast majority think the RSE is superior or a match in every way thus the war isnt much of a war.

The reason a Federation Vs RSE war gets more debate is because it has more options.

You usually can't be "wrong" around here, unless your debating a point that has an obviously right and wrong answer. A lot of the debates are just opinions or moral debates.

My personal favorite debate that I've been in here was with Seafort, we were debating whether the Transporter kills you or not. No right or wrong answer, just opinions, but I was right :D

Its when people make bots that will automatically join forums and make threads trying to sell products ect. Pretty much spamming the board.

You go on believing that of you want to. :wink:

That one was indeed a good'un. One where there was evidence to support either side, and on where people could genuinely agree to disagree.
