Explain why One Free Man still supports the Roman Empire.
The Jedi win.
One Free Man admitted that the Roman Empire only wins if they can gather 1.4 million troops into one army and attack in the Jedi in an open plain field. He admits that if the Jedi go gureilla then the Jedi win. However, the Jedi WILL go gureilla, so the Jedi would, as admitted by One Free Man, win.
He also admits that the Jedi would win if the Romans bow down and worship them for their powers, which most of the Romans WOULD. Therefore, as admitted by One Free Man, the Jedi win.
His scenario of the Romans attacking the Jedi by using 1.4 million troops in one battle is hypocritical, because he blames me for making up unlikely hypothetical situtations. However, the idea of the Romans somehow putting 1.4 million troops into one battlefield and getting past the logistical problems with that is less likely than any of my hypothetical scenarios. One Free Man refuses to believe this because he doesn't think deeply enough. He doesn't understand how important logistics are, and doesn't factor in coordination and other factors that are crucial to an army. He's only like "zomg the Romans get so many troops!!!!!", even though numbers mean nothing if they all starve to death or sit there and do nothing. Therefore, One Free Man's scenario is a hypocritical hypothetical situation that has numerous problems.
I'll admit that, if the Romans somehow magically coordinated and fed 1.4 million troops and the Jedi stupidly meet them on an open battlefield while sitting there and not utilizing (gasp!) tactics, the Romans MIGHT win. However, it the Jedi were to fight smart and use tactics that they are obviously capable of; I sitting next to a computer can think up of them, and many members of the NJO were former generals, then the Jedi win WITH EASE.
Therefore, the Jedi win.
