[@Cale Tucker]

Right, after stepping away from the computer for a few hours, I have returned to address the issues I have here. First off, Cale, I have never RP'd with you before, nor had any interaction prior to this NRP. Unless of course, you once operated under a different moniker, in which case that may be a prudent thing to disclose. It is such, that your quick snip of: "you don't need to be top dog in every roleplay, you know." caught me a bit off-guard, namely in the respect of that being something I was not intending, nor have I ever intended for my nation concept. From the beginning, I discussed my nation concept with you as being a vassal-state, and for the most part heavily dependent upon your nation. Hardly the behaviors of one trying to be the top dog. Nor have I been posturing my nation in a way that would suggest that they are the best, or even close. I'll refer you to a point where I openly refused to discuss what would beat what. It's not my style, I don't like PvP in free-form NRPs, unless it's something completely discussed between both parties and agreed upon before hand. I am not some wanton conqueror of other nations, not like many of the examples that could be cited in other NRPs here, and become the cause of death for RPs.

So yes, I reacted negatively to your post, and have every right to be irate with you, as it was a barb at me out of nowhere. At least in my eyes. I'm not attempting to break any rules, and honestly, I'm not going to argue with you about them. What I will say, is that at no point have I ever claimed anything my nation has as being: "that can kill a fleet twice as large as his in half the time, and take little to no damage." That's rather absurd, for anyone in the RP. If that's honestly how you feel the major nations are in this NRP, then I'm afraid that I'm going to say point-blank, that's bullshit. It's honestly kind of funny, that I've already hampered my nation with political unrest, the dependence upon a foreign nation for something as necessary as food, and base them upon just a handful of planets, and there's this claim of "Overpowered" and "Unfair".

That's my piece. Now, if you want to have a go at me over your rules, then be prepared, I'll have a go. I am well prepared to discuss this as an adult and have an intellectual discussion with you on where and why your system fails, and the arbitrary nature of the entire thing.

Or, we can just RP, and not bicker over something as ridiculous as statistics in an RP. I am here to craft a story, not play a game. If I want to play a game, I'll boot up one of many on my computer.
