Is it bad of me to be drawing comparisions between Tarkin's ignominious death after being pretty much shunted to the side and marginalized and Yang's continual demise in every game I play where I'm not him?

Not even here for a full month and your taking potshots at others! 
I like you, Starfarer. You'll fit in at Apolyton just fine.
Potshots man, potshots....

I just realized that in my first SMAX game which I just completed few days ago, Yang was the first human faction to fall to my Data Angels' armies. Rest assured, at the end he was whimpering for mercy, offering blood truces then later everything he had including the kitchen sink.
But again, I was on the citizen level *smirk*Comment

Sorry Franky, his style of play just doesn't appeal to me very much. I like to adjust my strategies to whatever faction (or civ-traits in Civ3) I'm playing, and I just don't know how to work his advantages.

...but I have never, not once, played as Yang. Miriam either. I just found it too... distasteful.
Do not like Yang or Miriam!
Well I do not like to play with Santiago (bleargh) but I have played with many factions and hive is one of my favorite

Just kicked arse with Morgan on small map (but lots of land and mind worms) at transcend difficulty.

Experience the experience. Feel it, in fact, amplify it. It will make you richer.

You sure you haven't been nervestapled secretly so that you can feel nothing but happy even if when you are poor, Mr Burns?

What exactly does nerve stapling do, anyway?
No. NOT in game terms, I understand those.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

It quells drone riots.Comment

The jury is out on that one. My interpretation is that it removes the will to resist and makes the Drones easier to control. The Dragon Sun novel implies that it's nothing so sophisticated and merely inflicts horrendous pain, making the victim unable to fight (or do anything else for that matter).Originally posted by The Mad Monk

I imagine it selectively destroys part of the brain making the victim more like a genejack and "nerve staple" is just a fearsome name for the procedure. If the victim recovers it cannot be done again because destroying more of the brain would kill or totally handicap them, hence resistence.Comment

Listen to the quote for the research hospital (I think). It sounds like it damages or removes part of the brain.#play s.-cd#g+c-ga#+dgfg#+cf----q.c
