Malak: "Surely you are not so foolish as to make the same mistake."
Karath: "Of... of course not, my Lord Malak. I will do as you command. But it will take several hours to position our fleet."

Pwned That guy

SHHHH!

Dont ruin it for him! We must make him believe that!

Nephthys The Gr8est!!!!!!!!

Huh. I still don't remember seeing more than a single star ship though.

Me neither. Though frankly I'll take Saul Karath's word of the presence of a fleet over the word of a bunch of lazy animators.

nothing says if it was necessary though. The fleet destroyed the planet mere moments after it began firing though.

One Star Destroyer can glass a planet. Even with 4,000 years of technology to catch up on, I doubt the Interdictors of Malak's fleet would require a whole lot more.

so tell me, what was the point of the death star?

Lord Lucien Lets all love Lain

A Star Destroyer's weapons can glass a planet, but they need to break through any planetary shielding. They're also susceptible to attack and damage. With one 160 km wide spheroid battlestation pumping out energy equivalent to several stars, no planetary shield will stand up against it. If any attacker can get bast it's fighters and turrets, the surface damage would be superfluous at best. The size also fits in with the Tarkin doctrine. The threat than an indestructible planet buster should have been enough, had Tarkin not gone all psycho.

apparently though, you still have to get the death star "in position" before you can hit the planet....

Lord Lucien Lets all love Lain

It had an effective range of 47 million kilometers, and it could have destroyed Yavin and left its moon drifting aimlessly in a now non-existent gravity well being pelted with chunks of exploded planet.

But the arrogant slow detour approach is so much more dramatic.

I'm not sure who would win the land battle, the stormtroopers would beat the USMC ground forces because their armor is resistant to sluggers (basically guns). Not sure about the conevant.

Ok let me get this straight if you think the empire will win you guys are retards to think the empire would win
First- the covenant control a huge part of the galaxy along with the unsc containing hundreds of planets which means a lot more resources and soldiers.
Second- they have huge fleets. Like a covenant super carrier like from halo reach can destroy an entire fleet of empire ships since it's so huge. Also the unsc has many ships.
Third- the covenant can "glass" an entire planet within a few hours including the number of nuclear bombs the unsc has so pretty much every planet the empire has can be burned and destroyed.
Fourth- lastly the unsc has the Spartans which are like super Jedi compared to regular ones also the covenant have the high command elite and the arbiter with there energy swords and other weapons.
So basically the empire LOOSES.

this is why this website died. none of us have the energy to explain. Not even to correct his spelling... Gosh, i remember when RN and Slash would at least help with that...

RE: Blaxican #gottem

I honestly don't think he's being serious.

And besides, even if he was. There are some things that just aren't worth arguing about, even with people who are intelligent.

1. why would the UNSC be allied with the covenant the race that killed millions of people

and the creator of this: DAMN YOU WHY WHY I AM A FAN OF BOTH SERIES DAMN IT

it's just so rare anymore to need to help anyone here that the marginal helping of a post on KMC is lower than the marginal helping in real life.

😬

I guess I can spare the time for this guy, if it'll make you feel better.

It is a convention among users of the English language to denote the end of sentences with periods. Periods are punctuation symbols found on typical keyboards two keys to the right of the letter "m." In addition to that structural tip (rules pertaining to the structure of sentences deal with "syntax"😉 you may also be surprised to learn that some members of your audience could meet the experience of being diagnosed "retarded" with some dismay; if you wish to garner support from such individuals you ought to consider a different tone. (Furthermore, some find the use of the term "retard" as a pejorative to be in particularly bad taste.)

I find it necessary here to remark again on the nature of sentences. While in this instance your assemblage of words includes the majority of requisite syntactical components (the capitalization of the word "First" may be disputed by pedants, as it is serving the role of of section header rather than being contained within the sentence, but if I pride myself on anything, it is not being a pedant) you have failed to include both a subject and a predicate. You have identified a thing (i.e. the territorial holdings and logistical capabilities of the unsc and the covenant[sic]) and refrained from acting upon, or with, that identification. To put it more blatantly, "First- the covenant [[i]sic] control a huge part of the galaxy along with the unsc [sic] containing hundreds of planets which means a lot more resources and soldiers[/i]...what? What you've typed is not a complete sentence.

Along with that rather significant oversight comes more than a few extra infractions of the rules regarding capitalization. Again ignoring the header/preposition pedantry regarding "First," I must observe that the acronym U.N.S.C was not capitalized, nor was "Covenant." It is considered appropriate to capitalize both terms because they are proper nouns.

It is worth the repetition to again note that "Empire" requires a capital letter.

This is a slightly more obscure rule of punctuation, but still very important. I hope you will not feel too foolish for misusing the comma because many of its complexities mystify even the great writers of our age. (Christopher Paolini, for example, has been utterly defeated by the subject.) When deciding to use a comma remember these simple rules:
[list=1]
[*]Use commas to separate independent clauses when they are joined by any of these seven coordinating conjunctions: and, but, for, or, nor, so, yet.
[*]Use commas after introductory a) clauses, b) phrases, or c) words that come before the main clause.
[*]Use a pair of commas in the middle of a sentence to set off clauses, phrases, and words that are not essential to the meaning of the sentence. Use one comma before to indicate the beginning of the pause and one at the end to indicate the end of the pause.
[*]Do not use commas to set off essential elements of the sentence, such as clauses beginning with that (relative clauses). That clauses after nouns are always essential. That clauses following a verb expressing mental action are always essential.
[*]Use commas to separate three or more words, phrases, or clauses written in a series.
[*]Use commas to separate two or more coordinate adjectives that describe the same noun. Be sure never to add an extra comma between the final adjective and the noun itself or to use commas with non-coordinate adjectives.
[*]Use a comma near the end of a sentence to separate contrasted coordinate elements or to indicate a distinct pause or shift.
[*]Use commas to set off phrases at the end of the sentence that refer to the beginning or middle of the sentence. Such phrases are free modifiers that can be placed anywhere in the sentence without causing confusion. (If the placement of the modifier causes confusion, then it is not "free" and must remain "bound" to the word it modifies.)
[*]Use commas to set off all geographical names, items in dates (except the month and day), addresses (except the street number and name), and titles in names.
[*]Use a comma to shift between the main discourse and a quotation.
[*]Use commas wherever necessary to prevent possible confusion or misreading.
Some easy reminders about when not to use this tricky skill follow:
[*]Don't use a comma to separate the subject from the verb.
[*]Don't put a comma between the two nouns, noun phrases, or noun clauses in a compound subject or compound object.
[*]Don't put a comma after the main clause when a dependent (subordinate) clause follows it (except for cases of extreme contrast).
[/list]
I hope that helped!

At this point I'm beginning to suspect that an investigation into the placement of semicolons may be a bit premature, to say nothing of an examination of the roles of comparison and contrast when dealing with proof, or even of simple evidential support. Once we've mastered these concepts (next week!) we'll be ready for an investigation of how to apply ethos, logos, and pathos properly, as well as easy-to-avoid logical missteps like begging the question and ad hominem attacks.

First, why are you allowed to start your sentence without a capital letter in this case?

Second, was the helping of posts on KMC ever higher than the helping in real life? If so, help more in real life, you egotistic bastard.

i am allowed to start my sentence without a capital letter because
[list=a][*]that was part of a remark aimed at a friend, which is the sort of remark i don't suppose you've ever experienced[*]it is part of my campaign to replace the "royal we" (damn collectivist commie bastards) with the "royal i" [where "i" is lowercase to differentiate it from the common pronoun]
[/list]
i was talking about the marginal helping of various posts, you ignorant prick. Really now, this is basic economic theory. Just because you are an ignoramus doesn't mean the rest of the board is, jerkoff.

So no. The amount of helping on KMC has never exceeded the amount of helping in real life. Either sum has always exceeded the net helping of your pathetic attempts, however.
