Star Wars vs Star Trek

[razordude]

even though the death star was meant to be a TERROR WEAPON not a frontline ship.

[razordude]

a weapon that is able to destroy a world is useful in that respect they won't rebel they'll be destroyed if they speak out or so they think.

[Shogun]

To the point that they wanted to make games about those universes

There are a lot of writers that are fans on Heinlein and Starship Troopers. There are a lot that are fans of Charles Dickens and Shakespear .etc What does it prove?

[Kittamaru]

Oh my fucking God...

Educate yourself.



What? Do you know an iota of W40k? Well, the Imperium doesn't go destroying worlds, they conquer or reconquer them, but that would be a little hard with continent destroying blasts now wouldn't it?

*chuckles*

You take all your evidence from that site... why don't you try doing the research yourself instead of listening to Internet Oprah, mmkay?

SD.net is a load of bollocks, plain and simple. I have seen their "calculations" proven wrong more times than I've seen my wife NAKED, and we have sex damn near every day, if not more often than that.

Make of that what you will...

[Kittamaru]

If you even knew an iota of W40k, you would figure out DESTROYING AN EMPIRE YOU ARE TRYING TO HOLD TOGETHER is not the best option.

Yet your beloved Empire does this...

So which is right, hmm? The Empire, of the IoM?

or are you just wrong again?

[Kittamaru]

To the point that they wanted to make games about those universes

If they were as similar as you said... why hasn't a lawsuit been filed yet?

*ponders*

Oh, because you're WRONG.

[Kittamaru]

There are a lot of writers that are fans on Heinlein and Starship Troopers. There are a lot that are fans of Charles Dickens and Shakespear .etc What does it prove?

OOOH! OOH! I KNOW THIS ONE!

It proves that people can be influenced by works that they LIKE, without having their works be COPIES of the things they like!

[ricrery]

even though the death star was meant to be a TERROR WEAPON not a frontline ship.

Really? If a fleet could pour out 100 Nova Cannon shots (you know, that gun that doesn't just destroy warships in one shot), then it is conventional.

I would love you to disprove without your belief that ANYTHING from SDN is wrong (considering they actually know a little more about math than that lying shit RSA)

[ricrery]

Yet your beloved Empire does this...

Reading comprehension failure.

So which is right, hmm? The Empire, of the IoM?

The Imperium which is a fucking Empire, because the "Empire" is called the GALACTIC EMPIRE.

or are you just wrong again?

Like the times Rama has proved you wrong?

[Kittamaru]

I would love you to disprove without your belief that ANYTHING from SDN is wrong (considering they actually know a little more about math than that lying shit RSA)

1) What did you just say? Let me be specific:

"... to disprove without your belief that anything from SDN is wrong..." disprove that SDN is wrong? So you're agreeing with me then that SDN is full of shit? Cool!

2) RSA's math is pretty sound, even if you don't like it. Some of his examples may be... cherry picked... but in general, the math itself is good.

3) I haven't quoted RSA in a good while... so yeah.

[ricrery]

Warhammer is inspired by Dune and the Foundation trilogy, of course, they alter their universe a bit to not be a ripoff. Starcraft has no fucking respect for other universes and just copies and pastes and changes the name a little.

oh yeah they know somehting wikepedia is wrong most of the time and can't be trusted yet they have SOME things right.

[Kittamaru]

Reading comprehension failure.

On your part, yes

The Imperium which is a fucking Empire, because the "Empire" is called the GALACTIC EMPIRE.

Are you incapable of making the logical conclusion that the Empire I was referring to was the Galactic Empire? Or are you unable to respond to the statement and thus are attempting to attack the person stating it, which is called a FALLACY.

Like the times Rama has proved you wrong?

What times Rama has proven me wrong? And about what? You have a deep desire to use fallacious reasoning, don't you... how about some proof? Or can't you provide that?

[Kittamaru]

Warhammer is inspired by Dune and the Foundation trilogy, of course, they alter their universe a bit to not be a ripoff. Starcraft has no fucking respect for other universes and just copies and pastes and changes the name a little.

Uhm, that's called "Copyright Infringement" and generally gets companies, you know, shut down...

Obviously Blizzard isn't doing this, as they are still, you know, running...not to mention not a single lawsuit for this has been filed?

I think you just found yourself backed into a corner and are trying to weasel your way out of it again.

[razordude]

then why hasn't warhammer done somehting by now?

[ricrery]

1) What did you just say? Let me be specific:

"... to disprove without your belief that anything from SDN is wrong..." disprove that SDN is wrong? So you're agreeing with me then that SDN is full of shit? Cool!

No, that was a mistake, you will prove how SDN is full of shit, considering they use math, something you didn't like at SB.

2) RSA's math is pretty sound, even if you don't like it. Some of his examples may be... cherry picked... but in general, the math itself is good.

Yet his bullshit claims that SW humans have natural metal spines, the DS beam was a chain reaction with a yield of 25 gigatons, and that novels are canon?

3) I haven't quoted RSA in a good while... so yeah.

Since when have I quoted Wong in any time this quarter of the year? I have used numbers from people a lot smarter than you. You think that "ooh they don't agree Star Trek beat Star Wars they're fanboys" and that "any calc for any universe" is wrong.

noone's perfect and some novels are canon actully.

[Kittamaru]

Uhm, some mistake... you completely double-faced yourself... anyway, I use math plenty, you just seem to have a bad memory.

To be honest, i have heard these multiple times, yet never seen his statements to this fact *shrugs*

Wong = SD.net in many, many ways. So... you quoted Wong just a few minutes ago

[ricrery]

then why hasn't warhammer done somehting by now?

I've heard that the Starcraft ending credits say that they thank GW for not suing them, could be wrong.
