Mongols

great at conquering for sure (and promoting religious tolerance and actually having a system where the best man takes the position, which is cool)

shit at actually sustaining an empire

same with that there Alexander the Great

It feels like it's only focused on the PC culture/social issues

and while that's fine, I wish they'd offer more diversity and have some of their sillier episodes again.

What ever happened to the aliens and the TV show? That kinda stuff.
did you see last or this week's episode? things got pretty silly
No I didn't actually. Might as well.

Every time I say "twot" over a skype call, my British friends get on me (jokingly) for not saying twat.

I think the reason we don't deploy military is because we just got done with one and the American public doesn't support another boots on the ground war yet.

And the other is our leaders are insanely cautious of another blunder, and want the Muslim nations to make it their fight, and we support them. I highly doubt every muslim would join them for doomsday shit.

Not every Muslim, just the hardcore conservative ones. The ones who actually believe in a doomsday. If ISIS were to cause something that looks like what's in that, then they have their legitimacy. Most Muslims would likely see it as yet another fringe group getting bombed by the US, but the ones out on the edge would buy it and that would change the fight.

And you're spot on about the American public.
Okay I can understand this.

Honestly, I would support boots on the ground, so long as we don't try to once AGAIN try and nation build. We're not Rome, we don't do a good job at it.

Though that might just let another fringe group take its place, hence why we're promoting the Muslim nations to actually do the fighting. King of Jordan supports that too.

No they don't. What the hell are you talking about?

It's not the world vs Islam if all muslims don't join them.
I'm beginning to think you don't understand the difference between what they wish for and what they'll actually get. I know it's not the world vs the muslims. I'm saying that's what ISIS wishes they could get.
It's the world vs ISIS, which is what they don't want as they can't get all Muslims to join them.

What they want and what they'll get are two very different things.
Well, regardless of what we think they want (it's just so much speculation at this point), I think we can all agree it'd be wonderful to finally see their capital of Raqqa get bombed to the ground and their leader burn.

I just hope it's sooner rather than later. As in, I hope the entire EU gets off their asses now and does something more.

That'll get them in more shit with the UN.
Considering Russia gets to sit at the UNSC and laugh every time people try to complain at them, I doubt they'll give much of a flying fuck.

Not to mention the rampant hypocrisy it would entail for the west to shit on russia for making arab BBQs when the israelis do the exact same thing.
B-B-But Israel does nothing wrong!!! They're Jewish and therefore are exempt from anything!!!

It's just a bunch of illogical bullshit.

So am I just misunderstanding your stance on this issue? You seem to be against uniting with Russia an co. against ISIS.
No no, I meant ISIS's endgame is illogical. I'm all for Russia and co working together. I want ISIS wiped off the face of the earth with not even the ashes to prove they were still around.

Forgive me for bringing up Godwin's law, but they're worse than Nazi's.

I don't see the downside from doing "what ISIS wants" if what they want is everyone vs. the Muslims. We'll win.
What they want would never even happen anyway since they're even uniting Islamic nations against them.

It's just a bunch of illogical bullshit. If anything, it's just making Russia more friendly with attacking with the west. Even if they are using internationally banned weapons....

ISIS wants people to bomb them? What?

Obviously they want people to hate muslims, but I'm pretty sure they don't want to be bombed.
No no. ISIS wants the entire West, along with Russia, to mount attacks on them. It's a weird thing where they try and prop up their caliphate, but at the same time want an entire people against them so it can be the "world vs Muslims" thing they want.

ISIS doesn't exactly have a logical thinking end game. Their end game is a world in fire. It's like some Modern Warfare 2 badly written script.
Well MW2 does take place in 2016. We're almost there.
Hahaha

Oh crap I honestly forgot it does. That's great. I was referring to Makarov's motives just being "lol whole world burn xDDD".

People do realize this is what ISIS wants right? They want westerners to unite along with Russia, and attack ISIS. Their end game is a world on fire, for whatever reason, and the hopes that it will be the world vs Muslims.

They're attacking Russia, France, and whoever else to prompt this. Especially since Russia is now directly coordinating attacks with France.

Odds are it wont work, but yeah.

Well the thing is they think that Allah will appear and do his smite the enemies of Islam thing if they can bring all of their enemies into the same place.
It's this very very weird way of thinking really. It's like they're trying to pursue two agenda's, but you can't do one without the other ripping it apart.

Tactics
XI
V

XIII
VI
your list was good until you put VI at the bottom. The first 3 I can agree with that order but swap IV and VIII.
I hate FFVI. It's a disgrace to the series.
How so?
Bad writing, terrible characters. Kefka is a bad, bad Joker expy without the originality or humor.
The characters were probably the most human up to that point though in the series. Minus FF 4.

I think 4 and 6 are arguably the best in the entire series.

There is a difference between the "friend zone" (which is a retarded term anyway), and the fuck off zone.

I hit my limit here. Can't take it seriously anymore when the lot of you would happily turn away 10,000 refugees consisting of mostly women and children. When in reality the U.S already accepts 70,000 refugees every year. And to say they should get out of Europe and the U.S and fight the war by themselves, just regular citizens.

Can't even anymore
I always considered a lot of Septagon (especially serious) to be a cesspool of stupidity, ignorance, and people who don't understand the difference between a healthy debate and flaming someone for disagreeing with them.

I can honestly say there are only a handful of people here who have consistently kept a level head and at least engaged others who had different opinions without calling them some form of retarded, or just being outright racist.

This last week has only highlighted just how xenophobic and racist people are. Honestly I'm already jaded on this entire issue because of it. People just want to fall into stereotypes, and push their agenda without so much as doing the research beforehand, or outright just saying a load of shit.

that's not to say they're all bad. I've met some great people here like Tru, LC, Verb, and others I can't be bothered to remember at 2 in the morning, but yeah. Honestly at this point, it's so depressing seeing people I interacted with on a more frequent basis, hold so much hate, anger, and harmful thinking inside of them

8248
The blatant racism and ignorance that I've seen on this forum towards these refugees has been disgusting.

It's not even worth debating it. Just shows how parts of our culture haven't changed in even 100 years.
What are you talking about? Don't you like seeing just how racist people you like (or thought you did) can be? I love going to facebook too to get nice dose of racism from time to time.
