May The Invisible Hand Be With You - (Star Wars CK2-Style Quest)

[Tabron89]

He said it was the reason that roughly 50% of Japanese Husbands in Japan cheat on their wives, not that it was roughly 50% of the reason Japanese Husbands in Japan cheat on their wives. Or indeed that it was any amount of the reason why any proportion of Japanese Husbands in Japan cheat on their wives roughly.

Ain't the English language grand?

Western misunderstandings of the various Buddhist schools aside...

There are specific and predominantly Buddhist cultures with specific features that have given rise to this sort of myth, but that's about as as representative of wider Buddhist sexual mores as Taureg modesty traditions are of wider Muslim modesty traditions or American chastity rings are representative of how most Christians deal with being horny teenagers.

EDIT: If you look at what the Buddha actually says, sexual desire, sex and sexual pleasure are specifically mentioned as things that cause spiritual suffering. Where it differs from Christianity is that sexual desire and sexual pleasure are not seen as any greater a cause of suffering than any other way of straying from the path. So all the major Buddhist monastic orders embrace celibacy, but not with the heavy emphasis that certain Christian monastic groups did.

Comparing with other religious traditions Buddhism is actually remarkably down on the whole sex thing, so far as I am aware, they only come out ahead of the Christians and the Manicheans. Of course, since we live in a Christian society, Buddhism seems much more liberal. This is true in a relative sense, but not an absolute sense.

Nope, there's no misunderstanding at all.

In the bible, it outright says "get married for love and only love and stick with your wife unless one of you commit adultery."

In Japan, Buddism doesn't have that rule at -all- and considering that 99% of the Japanese population is Buddist, Buddist and Shinto or Shinto, it means pretty much 99% of all Japanese have no moral obligations to stay faithful.

The only reasons why Japan is not swimming in children born out of wedlock is because there is a -massive- social stigma about having children outside of marriage and Japanese culture is still sexist towards single mothers because of zero government support towards single moms and being a single mom can mean being stuck on $40 a week if you're unlucky.

So yeah, get rid of the 'every family needs a father and mother' rule?

You prove to the galaxy that men are horny gits who have problems dealing with the aftermath of one night stands or paid sex.

I thought there was something in there about if you're a solider and rape a lady while sacking a city you have to marry her. Somewhere along there with the bit where it says how much silver is an appropriate bride price or whatever.

I'll admit to not knowing exactly where, but the old testament hasn't aged well in places.

Actually, although there is no obligation to marry, Buddhism does include an injunction against adultery. I also very much disagree with your implicit assumption that morality must come from religion.

But can we stop arguing about religion?

Err..no. If you're a soldier and a woman caught you're eye, you had to wait a month before marrying and having sex with her.

Considering that they don't even devote a paragraph to the sack of Jericho after god brings its walls down I'd assumed it was more of a whirlwind affair.

[Whumbly]

Since I lack the attention span to write detailed stories for my Abysswatcher, like some people, I wrote a mixture of background mixed with philosophical questioning.

The Enemy Inside

Asajj,

I know paper seems out of character for myself, archaic for someone who prides himself on high-tech gadgets and his visor that controls the blaster bits, but I feel as though you'd want this conversation to be private and while datapads can be encrypted, there's always someone who can break it. Apologies for the placement of this, but I figured not even Ciaran is shameless enough to reach into the back of your underwear draw. For this trespass I offer a favour to be used at a later date, but for now I'll get to the Bantha in the room.

I know the topic we're not supposed to discuss and yet being a former Watcher we tend to learn things we really shouldn't, but do anyway. I know enough to learn about your history and how you came to join us, I know Ciaran is going to ambush you later and knowing her you won't like her methods. So I'm going to use my strength in the Force as an empath and try a a different approach.

As a Watcher, I was involved in a variety of tasks and one such task was going over information collected from Wesker's first lab. You ever see the recordings from La'Sombra, monstrous mutants that were born out of horrific experiments on unwilling test subjects?

I have to admit they were pretty frightening, I saw violent ruthless killing machines, but then I came across reports that said they were basically brain-dead, they weren't really alive. They lacked empathy, they lacked compassion. It's not that they suppressed it, they simply didn't have any understanding or capacity for it. They might not have even understood what they were actually doing when they infected others or what had happened to them. Do you know when I came to that first realisation about the mutants?

It was amongst the compassionless acts by sapients, amid scientific tests carried out on living captives. It forced me to ask whom was worse, the mutants who kill for no capacity for empathy or sapient beings who have that capacity, but choose to ignore it to do terrible acts. There's this one moment where a Rodian, one of the guards whose only crime is pissing off the wrong person, is sealed in a test chamber. He pleads with the scientists, he tells them he signed on for this to help his daughter, that they promised they'd help his daughter. Meanwhile said scientists are just reading over him, checking the diagnostics for their test. Then they begin, by dropping a Mutant into his chamber and watch as the creature devours him. It is not quick or painless. I can hear the bone chilling screams and the only point to this test was to see if the mutant would react differently to a sick subject rather than a healthy one.

It seems so arbitrary, an experiment carried out just because they could, like a child poking an animal with a stick just to see what will happen. And that whole experiment was ordered by someone, who proved to be worse than the soulless, mindless monster in that chamber. Because unlike that monster, they had the capacity for empathy and chose to ignore it. The one most willing to expend the lives of others, was so certain in the belief that the ends justifies the means.

Ultimately what I ask of you is to look at yourself and those around you and really see the darkness in everyone. See a darkness, darker than the inky blackness between the stars, darker than those living shadows of sapients that once walked the halls of La'Sombra. If you can, than then and only then, will you possess the perspective to make this choice.

You can condemn Dooku, knowing that sapient life often casts aside the compassion we've been endowed with to achieve our goals. Or you can spare him, declaring that as long as we have the capacity for compassion within us, we have a chance of redemption.

Therein lies the crux of the matter. Anyone can say they're doing the right thing, but get a person to see themselves in the truest possible light and it forces them to examine their beliefs.

I wonder do hate him because he betrayed because his master ordered him to? Because he has unleashed too much evil in the Galaxy? Because he valued his life more than yours? Or do you hate him simply because you were once like that and you need to believe that he can't change... because otherwise you can't deny the chance that was given to you?

Whatever you choose, I know it will be what you decide that matters. After all free will is the cornerstone of sapience and if someone forces you to make a choice, then it's not really a choice at all.

Your Subordinate,
Koliya Karrosi

Click to shrink...

Survival rolls are at the end of the raid.

Currently the exterminator droids are at a 55 DC to be hit/return fire.

Shutdown is 60 (70-10 due to HKs presence), with a minus 5 per each exterminator droid unit destroyed after 10 kills.

Yes.

 

[Barondoctor]

So. We gotta bring the house.

30 units.

Not technically in the form of a plan yet, but an initial roster for discussion:

1 HK-47 (free)
1 Grievous (free)

1 Piebald (is his Typhoon trait once per round, once per deck, or once per raid?) (1)

1 Koliya (Always in Beast Mode) (2)

1 Dani (Double Attacking) (3)

1 Kygeetu not subject to Grievous' buff but benefits from Riphath's Survival Check bonus I think as she's still got Kaleesh physiology confirmed by Dr. Snark ; still badass) (4)

1 Riphath (Strategic reasons for us to play cautious with him. Rule 1: make sure the medic survives) (5)

17 Kaleesh Warrior Groups (Grievous buffs make them the best standard troops. Stack that with Riphath's survival check bonus and they fight like discount WALKERS) (22)
1 Dwarf Spider Droid Hive (Best Droid troops) (23)
5 Droidekas (maximize guns.) (28)
2 BX Commando Droids ( Yes please.) (30)

 

[Void Stalker]

[X] Plan Killing Field
-[X] HK-47
-[X] Grievous
-[X] Piebald
-[X] Koliya Karrosi
-[X] Riphath Althean
-[X] Dani Plenar
-[X] Kygeetu San Torgh
-[X] 1 Dwarf Spider Droid Hive
-[X] 17 Kaleesh Warrior
-[X] 5 Droideka
-[X] 2 BX Commando

Brining the units with the highest attack values. Also Dani can shoot twice and Piebald can hit for up to 4 times. Riphath keeps them alive. But overall the focus is on the attack stat, lowest is +30 for the droidekas and BX commandos. Abysswalkers and Kaleesh are at +35, while dwarf spiders are at +40. Then +40 and +39 from our two heroes. So first round is 33 to 36 attacks all at +30 (75% for current deck) or higher needing to kill 22 to auto shut down deck.

We need to do an action next turn to boost our attack rolls, or maybe bring different commanders (Ciaran personal attention would be very good with her high martial (39) a +10 boost to rolls for Kygeetu, and possible boost from force skills).

 

[spiritualatheist]

Looks good to me.


New
[X] Plan Killing Field

 

[Publicola]

So I got Solo'd by @Void Stalker, but here are the Attack and Counterattack stats for each type of unit we can send:

Type	Attack	Counterattack
Basic Guardian	10	15
Cyborg Guardian	15	20
Experienced Guardian	15	20
Veteran Guardian	25	30
Basic Seekers	5	20
Cyborg Seekers	10	25
Experienced Seekers	10	25
Veteran Seekers	20	35
B1 battle droids	10	10
B2 battle droids	15	25
CB-3 battle droids	20	30
BX commando droids	30	20
Droidekas	30/20	20/30
Dwarf Spider droids	40	25
Kaleesh Warriors	25+10	25+10
Wookie Warriors	20	30
Abyss Apprentices	10	20
Abyss Agents	20	30
Kygeetu san Torgh	35	50
Dani Plenar	35	50
Riphath Althean	35	50
Koliya Karrosi	35	50
Piebald	35	50
Grievous	39	39
HK-47	40	40

Given that a single Kaleesh Warrior has the equivalent Attack rank as any of our Abysswalkers, I'm inclined to bring as many of them + our Dwarf Spider 'hive' + Droidekas/BX Commando droids. On the other hand, some of our Abysswalkers have really good special abilities that we might want to bring along...

I think that is the basic list with consolidated bonuses.
Attk+ = Attack bonus
Cttk+ = Counter attack bonus
Srv+ = DC reduction for survival ( I put it as a bonus because you could say it is a bonus to the survival roll if i understand correctly.)

Now I just have to write Riphath back off Tython, preferably without Darra kicking his ass.

Okay, more than she already does when they spar.

Given that a single Kaleesh Warrior has the equivalent Attack rank as any of our Abysswalkers, I'm inclined to bring as many of them + our Dwarf Spider 'hive' + Droidekas/BX Commando droids. On the other hand, some of our Abysswalkers have really good special abilities that we might want to bring along...

Click to shrink...

Two of them have extra attack rolls (Dani who gets two first time each deck, and Piebald who keeps on attacking first time each deck up to 4 times) Otherwise abysswalkers are the best we have after the dwarf spiders and tied with the Kaleesh. Plus the medic, Ripath, can keep our guys alive. Koliya can go to +45 for attack, our highest by 5 over HK and the dwarf spiders. And the last one still is +35 with good chance at suriving (-35 to survival DC with Ripath).
