Civilisation: A New Dawn

There were plenty of jokes I could have made. Instead, I present the information completely punless.

You have forgotten the face of your Muppet father.

The 'z' is the Americanised version.

Whereas in English, its an 's'.

Like in 'Americanised'.

Flip your spellchecker to English (UK) and you'll find it is accepted.

As a touch-typist and transcriptionist, I find that I fall back into my educated patterns. That includes UK/Australian English. I often add what Americans have turned to be the 'superfluous' U to words such as Colour and Armour and Flavour, as well.

Sooooo it's the right version

I also had no idea about changing spell check for different languages or countries.

Technically, the Z is correct for "Civilization" the board game, because it is a Trademark designation, rather than a common use word.

So now we have a literally vs. literally thread and a civilisation vs. civilization thread. The grammar gods hate us all.

They can hate us all they want.

They're not grammar issues.

They are definition and spelling issues, respectively.

... Unless, of course, they hate us because we DON'T have grammar issues, and they are feeling ignored.

In that case, it sucks to be them.

My problem is that I get distracted like Dug in Pixar's Up by the new shininess. Depending on if I can get to two regionals this year (along with Adepticon) I may likely try Leia as my second list/plan to get her good. How MANY Nebulons can I cram into a list? Let's find out.

Hehehe (399/400)

Defense Objective: Contested Outpost
Navigation Objective: Solar Corona

[ flagship ] Nebulon-B Support Refit (51 points)

- Redemption ( 8 points)
= 84 total ship cost

Nebulon-B Support Refit (51 points)
= 51 total ship cost

Nebulon-B Support Refit (51 points)
= 51 total ship cost

Nebulon-B Support Refit (51 points)

You cannot ban me. Many have tried, yet I still plague the forums. I am eternal. I am undying.

I am confused. If you are undying, you are not undead yet so... are you dead? But if you are dead you cannot write here so you must be an undead right?

I am cognizant of the gunboat, of course. However, I believe it to represent a corruption of the Emperor's enlightened ideology.

The gunboat is a bulky and expensive weapons platform, which represents a capital-investment-to-manpower ratio quite the opposite of the TIE Fighter. Employing the TIE Fighter implies that there is a place for many more Imperial loyalists in the Imperial Navy, while at the same time leaving more resources to build grand palaces for the Emperor. Those palaces are an important symbol of hope for the galactic citizenry that the Galaxy never has to face the lawlessness and corruption of the Republic again.

The 'Cult of the Gunboat' are apostates to the proper doctrines of the New Order, and they should find proper employment in the spice mines of Kessel for their heresies.

Sacrilege!!

Your apparent lack of faith in GUNBOAT is disturbing! A visit from our venerable Prophets of the Five Winged Angel @FTS Gecko and @Odanan is in order!

Submit or you will be sanctioned!!!

Well, you guys are the one with the Blog and the followers.

People don't even listen to me when I'm giving actual advice.

Whoa!?

Are you for real? Dras? I think you're regarded as the absolute LAW of Armada related rules around these parts!

...and probably rules in general!

What did @DrakonLord say about missed calls on his mobile?

It's like that!

How dare you speak of sanctions, paean! My loyalty and faith in the Emperor is legend and unassailable. Your sad devotion to the Gunboat religion is evidence that you do not believe in the doctrines of the New Order.

Take him away!
