OOC: Thou shalt eat thine words, heretic! *Writes OOC: stargate sg1 is boring :( on a piece of paper and attempts to thrust down Doom777's throat*

Actually, I reckon SG1 to be a damn good idea for a ft nation, and a brilliant show, though Atlantis is pushing the boat a bit...

SG1 is Great!



stargate sg1 is
boring :gundge: :(

This is Thor, flying the Daniel Jackson, your weapons suck bam bam ur arse is whooped. Oh yeah you died in the movie.

OOC: Oh! Look at me! I almost get killed by a bunch of insects!
You aren't REALLY supposed to be the Asgard, are you!?

*bump

Hmmm...
Your weapons seem rather short ranged, perhaps we could arrange to sell you some long-range arms?
While our weapons arent quite as...ornate as yours, they are quite effective at killing things. We can provide assault rifles, sniper rifles, shotguns, SMGs and pistols.
Powered armour is avalible as well, along with grenades and anti-armour/air infantry weapons.

I assure you, we are quite fine with our current...superior level of technology.

These are simply effective ranges. Our weapons often exceed their maximum range restraints.

OOC:The Replicators are a bitch.... BTW, I employed them once already... so they are more than usable in a RP :> "Ghost Ship" covered the finding of an old Tekanian SCV infested with Replicators...

OOC Your kidding me right? SUPERIOR! HAHAHA. You got beaten by Roman Legionars. Thats Why my friend gave up on his Goa'uld puppet, If he had no fleets, even IRAQ could kick his ass on the ground.

IC The Tsurani, having had previous experiance with the Goa'uld, would spreed your message to your people, if we deemed you a threat. We can not be bothered to muster the efforts to convince humans to change their veiw of life. Invade earth, so your Jaffa change their minds.

You obviously faced an opponent who had stolen Goa'uld technology, for normal Goa'uld can easly take on primitive forces on the ground.

We wonder how you can consider your technology superior when three humans and one rouge Goa-uld defeat you on a daily basis, using outdated firearms.
Dontgonearthere assures YOU that while a bullet is not sophisticated, a .50 calibur round delivered at a range of several miles is quite deadly, even to a Goa-uld, especially when its an incindiary round.

OOC: stargate sg1 is boring :(


OOC: Whatever, dude. You don't know what you're talking about. SG1 rules. How can you not find O'Neill's dry wit humorous?

IC: "In Upper Xen, SG1 too enjoys some of the highest non-anime show ratings, so that if that doesn't say something, then my man, you are a fool!"

OOC: SG-1 doesn't exist in Nation States yet, remember? ^_^

IC: And the Goa'uld would like to remind you that a .50 calibur round does nothing to a Al'Kesh bomber as it drops massive energy bolts on your fortifications, while Deathgliders swarm and shoot down every ship that can take off the ground, while Ha'Tak Motherships bomb every major city you posess.

OOC Your kidding me right? SUPERIOR! HAHAHA. You got beaten by Roman Legionars.

I wrote that article. It's speculation on my part I'm afraid. We don't know how Tollan society was founded, and likely never will... (Quit stealing our bandwidth! We have enough trouble with it already. Host the pics on your own webspace ~ NecronLord)

The technology of the goa'uld is actually remarkably advanced, especially medical technology. They don't apply it well, simply because they have no need to. In the normal run of things, what they have is adequate for what they do, namely, playing gods. Reapplied, their technology could be horrifically dangerous, the lack of them doing this is due to their own massive egos. They never believe that they are likely to be defeated by a non-goa'uld until the enemy is banging on their throne-room door.

Incidentally, for the record, you could shoot a Kull Warrior with a 50 cal until the barrel was unuseable, and it would be mildly inconvinienced.

Well, advanced does not allways mean invincible. Picard took out 2 Borg with a Tommy-gun in Star Trek: First Contact.

Replicators preyed off of Asgard reliance on technology (and therefore their weak spot).

The Goa'Uld are geared towards the domination of pre-industrial societies (so can get punked around by others, because their lack of adaptability [Though Anubis was far more adaptable to changing tactics than most others, and it took Ancient Technology to stop him.]

All civilizations/races/cultures have their weaknesses; and the sucessful foe will exploit the weakness of the other culture to gain the upper hand (Replicators vs. Asgard, Federation Vs. Borg, Terrans vs. Goa'Uld, etc.).

OOC: Yeah, but seriously, please don't direct link to stargate-tech.net. If you do, this means our hosting costs more, and we can't expand the site at the rate we otherwise would. You may have noticed a lot of really small pics there. Bigger copies exist, but because of the limited bandwidth Chris' hosting has, they can't be uploaded.

Another important thing to remember about the Goa'uld is that they're very long lived. It's a fieasable tactic for them to "bomb a civilisation back to the stone age" and move in a few generations later as gods. This kind of thing makes practical ground warfare techniques unnecessery in most cases.

The thing you're forgetting most of all is that the Goa'uld had a treaty with the Asgard in SG-1. If you've seen the show, you'd realize that when they show alternate universes, the Goa'uld have defeated almost every single Earth in almost every single parallel universe.

IE: 999999/1000000 times, the Goa'uld will win.

Indeed. At the end of Season Seven, were it not for the Anceint Planetary Defence Outpost, Anubis would have defeated Earth. To say that they're easily beaten by modern tech is a gross oversimplification. The Goa'uld are also much more dangerous with a Supreme System Lord (*CoughAtumCough*) than they are without.

Wait...do YOU own stargate-tech.net!?

Nope. I've done some work on it though. I'm on the "About Us → Site Team" page as Joseph Wilson\NecronLord ( a name connected with my main nation, The C'tan)."

SG1 rulez but in my country it's not being shown more :(

Which, in full detail, brings interest concepts.... The Asgard, owe much to Humanity, for their existance... And yet, so the Humans, the Asgards.

Humans have a strength that the Goa'Uld, and Asgard lack... Invention and Adaptation... And, at least in one universe, they have been able to employ that strength to its fullest.

Even the Earth, with the Asgard, is an example of Adaptation; in that, had O'Neil not made the right choices, Earth could have fallen either to the Goa'Uld, or under the Protected Planets Treaty... neither position being tenable to humanity in general... But he was able to come out a winner. To have his cake and eat it to.....

The Asgard have reached their virtual limit, not adapting to newer situations very well (Replicators); the Goa'Uld, using all aquired technology (much like ST's Borg), have never had the capacity for real invention; merely to adapt in the realm of what they already have.

It's a fallacy to say the Goa'uld aren't able to innovate. They have done exactly what the humans have done with the X-302 and 303, taken superior technology and adapted it to their own uses. This doesn't mean they can't invent things of their own (case in point, they invented the Transphase Eradication Rod) they simply find it more expedient to adopt Anceint and other tech to their own uses than ignore those sources of knowledge and slowly work their way up.

In essence, this does result in an immature society having access to advanced technology - far from a good turn of events - but it's not proof that they can't invent things.

Dontgonearthere would like to point out that your bombers would be rather helpless when a fleet of DNS Battleships comes along with a Piledriver and blows the planet up.
30km long planetbusters dont go down easy, especially when they have a fleet with them have you got something to match that?
Damn, weve gotten into the proverbial 'Steel Penis' competition. I wonder if that threads still in the archive...

OOC: Actually, my friend has just made a nation called the "Asgard High Council" We now have an Asgard player. He told me he's going to make an RP thread called "The Protected Planets Treaty." We shall wait and see.

In the two parter episode Jolinar's Memories/The Devil you Know, the Tok'ra, a Goa'uld terrorist faction, had a suitcase bomb that caused a moon with earthlike mass to explode.

Excellent. I shall have to get the main nation out for that. Rawr! Fear the ~Anceints Tech Level Nation

In the two parter episode Jolinar's Memories/The Devil you Know, the Tok'ra, a Goa'uld terrorist faction, had a suitcase bomb that caused a moon with earthlike mass to explode.

Indeed. All it required was a signal from a small, cloaked Tel'Tac to activate it from a decent distance away from the planet. It had enough power to destroy the planet, and the ships surround the planet.

OOC:
Far futuretech nation here.
I have a device that can split all the water on a planet into hydrogen and oxygen, which then combusts and burns the planet to a crisp, and DO I brag about it?
Well...yes.

Excellent. I shall have to get the main nation out for that. Rawr! Fear the ~Anceints Tech Level Nation

Don't do anything to him yet. Let them impose their rules first.

Pfft. A dessicator clone. How special.

N.B. Getting that reference gives you +1 respect.

I was suggesting allying with them actually. My main nation, The C'tan is about four or five times the size of this one. ;)

Pfft. A dessicator clone. How special.

N.B. Getting that reference gives you +1 respect.
Hey, nobody ELSE was using it.
And if you want original (sort of), I could point out the Steel Plauge, which would simply eat your weapons, break them down, and stab you with them :P
Acigoo is wonderful inspiration, and controlable acigoo (Sort of :P) is even better.
Hooray for nanites!

Ew. Nanowank. *Looks disgusted*

Bah, I was one of the first nations to start using nanotech. Steel Plauge has plenty of weaknessess. The main problem is that it doesnt have any concept of 'Friend or foe', it just eats stuff and kills things.

OOC: Off topic a bit, are we?

OOC:
Just think of them as bumps with substance.
Ill leave now, if you want. Gotta go crush some Order people and so on.

OOC Atum, I would like to point out while the C'tan are big, and ancient tech, tey also have the problem of being Necrons, and since when has a necron EVER helped someone else? I just find that funny.
