Getting serious now if we're up to last names. Didn't you say there was a town or something with that same name?

@Legend

Yeah, and that he built it.

[Legend]

<Snipped quote by Legend>

@GalaxyRaider

That's pretty neat. What happened after they broke it?

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

They do at that. And this one has the biggest—but don't tell it.

@Realmatic

*Chuckles*
Because trees have egos too?

@Legend

A lot of people died. Many got away, but so many died. But aside from that, there was a fight, where two of the ones involved in the destruction were killed, and then, well, not much.

@GalaxyRaider

So does having everybody in one huge alliance make it more dangerous for everyone in the end? Kind of like an all-or-nothing sort of thing?

@Legend

Not particularly. It give normal people a chance, because alone, I dunno of any civilization that can defend itself from things similar to the stuff on the level that you all fight.

@GalaxyRaider

I thought that smaller and weaker groups weren't normally targeted. I don't know for sure, but if I were a bad guy, I don't know why I would go after some random planet that can't do anything about it, or even how I would know they exist.

@Legend

When civilizations die, it's not usually due to some form of targetting. It happens by chance, or by simply winning some jerk's mental lottery. When a bunch of insignificant species band together to protect themselves and one another, the random elements are taken away. And, not only are you out on the map for bad guys, but you're also now on the map for good guys as well.

@GalaxyRaider

I think being on the map of good guys automatically puts you on the map of bad guys.

That's what I mean.

@GalaxyRaider

I don't know, like, if you're shooting arrows or something, it's much easier to hit one big target you care about than it is a bunch of random targets you're not even trying to hit.

@Legend

Now imagine a target, hiding behind a bunch of obstacles, making it harder to hit, while also moving. It's trading obscurity as a defense for the ability to actually defend yourself. Isn't that way better?

@GalaxyRaider

Now all the targets are bundled together in one little package. They might have a little more defensive power, but I think it was probably much better when they weren't a threat at all.

@Legend

I dunno. I mean, they've functioned so far.

@GalaxyRaider

...Okay.

[GalaxyRaider]

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

...Okay.

@Legend

Is everything okay?

[Legend]

<Snipped quote by Legend>

@GalaxyRaider

Yeah, everything is great. Why?

@Legend

You sounded bummed out.

@GalaxyRaider

Nope. I'm good.

@Legend

Okay then. Almost sounded like you were disappointed in that mini debate ending.
