I'd suggest getting one of those cheap shiny metal ones and buying a can of bronze spray paint..it'll be close enough Gorram..

Neko- yes it's wrong , so very wrong.

Good plan Gee

Going well here Tex. I just wish one of my co-workers didn't act like a combination of Grif and Caboos all the time.

Goram: sounds cool! No idea for a cheap version of the gun but maybe hit a toystore and do a little work with paper-mache to reshape it, and some of that 'metalic' paint you can get at craft stores?

I'm going off the grid. No more franchises, no more botox, no more "Hey, oh, lets clone another goat," and certainly no more sexual harassment lawsuits, what's wrong with saying "Hey, nice tits." When did that go out the window?

Hi all,
I have a few questions regarding the government of the Verse. First off it is called a Republic, but is it really a republic? The United States of America is a Republic which means that we are all regionally represented and most importantly in a republic our rights are supposed to be paramount. (I know recent events may have shaken that belief) Given this frame work for a republic does the government which rules the Verse meet those requirements? Are the outer moons represented?

If it does meet the requirements of a republic are the moons represented but in a limited way sort of like the southern states after our civil war?

Were all of the planets and moons terra formed at the expense of the republic and then the outer planets/moons decided they didn't need that government any more, or did the outer planets and moons have to terra form themselves and then the “Republic” said they were going to join? If the latter were true, then wouldn’t the war have been a war of conquer rather than a civil war?

From what I've read, the inner planets were terraformed first, then the outer planets/moons. It seems to me that it was at the cost of the Alliance(or whatever the name was before the war), and that they tried to control the planets they "paid" to terraform. So, nominally, they were part of the republic, settled by immigrants from the inner planets. One reason they went to war was because they didn't really have any representation in the government. They "told them what to think, what to say. Don't walk. don't run"
My opinion. Please any more educated browncoats, enlighten us.

Good(ish) day!!

Barkeep! I'll have a bucket of Guinness please.

The mind may embrace chaos, but humans are seriously hard wired to find patterns and function better with some kind of order. After all, if your spleen were to suddenly turn into a Christmas Pudding or a geranium in a flower pot you'd be pretty screwed. Don't take it too hard RIMG, just toss some confetti and watch where it lands. There's a pattern, but it's pretty randomized and can feel like chaos.

So if the Republic did pay for the terra forming of the planets and moons, then don't they have the right to say how those bodies are governed? I know this cold be a sticky thing to say around here, but I am only trying to understand stuff.

There's a historical precedence to this situation, but gorramit, I can't call it to mind! Anyone else know what I'm saying?
Duh, how about the American Revolution? Very similer. Except no spaceships, or grenades, or companions.
