What is better--SMAC or SMAX

I don't see what you find so funny. There is a big difference between a fundamentalist Christian, and someone that calls themselves one.


Miriam is more like the Muslim faith, not a Christian fundamentalist.

How ironic. What do you know about Islam, anyway?

One of the dumbest things I've every seen on this forum. After 911, the War in Iraq and all the news coverage, how could I not know. How could you not know. Maybe you live in a cave! Unbelievable. I really and truly hope that you're just being a smart ass. I'd hate to think you really didn't know anything about the Muslim faith and mindset.

Next to dumbest thing I've heard. People that do things in the name of God are not necessarily Christian Fundamentalists. They can call themselves whatever they want, but that don't make it so.

I'm not the first one to post this about Miriam in the first place.

See this topic, and Dissident's reply.

What a delightful way to draw disrespect from others. You didn't answer the question, though. What do you know about Islam?

[Mark123jansen]

if 911 and the war in Iraq adequately describe Islam, then a profile of the Ku Klux Clan and Arian Nation in the US would be an excellent way of describing christianity,

See how your theory doesnt stick?

Cute, but I will not insult you, nor will I do your homework. If you don't know about the Muslim faith I suggest you check into it yourself.
You're the one who has disrespected me. I'm am a Christian Fundamentalist.

And don't try to play games with me. You know very well that I'm not talking about all Muslims, but the Muslim extremists.

Before you mention it. There are no Fundamentalist extremists when it comes to war. As I said, they can call themselves that, but that doesn't make it so.

I didn't say that. Read it again. The coverage of those events gave incite into the Muslim faith. Not the events themselves. They do not describe Islam in any way. Please don't tell me that you didn't see or read anything about the extremist Muslim factions after and during those events.

I'm not sure where this vague exchange of innuendos is heading, but I'm minded not to follow its path.

There are no religious organisations and no citizen loyalties to such in SMAC or SMAX, so it's not very relevant.

Too late

I have, several times. I don't just read what the media feed me, either. It is informative to hear others' viewpoints, and I can't look up yours on the web, at least not without more information about you.

You're the one who has disrespected me. I'm am a Christian Fundamentalist.

I didn't think I had disrespected you, but now I feel sorry for you, assuming your claim is accurate.

And don't try to play games with me. You know very well that I'm not talking about all Muslims, but the Muslim extremists.

The term used to describe who you are referring to is fundamentalist, whether or not you like it. You don't get to change the dictionary, even if the term seems inaccurate.

Many Muslims disown the fundamentalists, but you lump Miriam in with the whole set. You don't even claim she'd be an extremist, rather you cast her as typical of the billion or so who consider themselves Muslim.

And I suppose we've hijacked this thread...

long time ago. Not relevant in a game that is supposed to represent the future.

OK Chaos. You win, this is too tiring.

[Urban Ranger]

Alien Crossfire definitely. What's the fun in keep playing with CEO Morgan, etc.?

[waab]

SMACx with the orginal seven...

[binTravkin]

SMAX with the original 7 factions

Although some of the new are pretty interesting (namely Angels).

The factions are believable, well except for Miriam being so aggressive. This is not a Christian trait.

I've always been thinking that Miriam is the most believable of the faction leaders.
And actually she seems not to have inquisition in her faction - it should give her free punishment sphere at each base or at least a police bonus..
So she's a "not very extreme fundamentalist" comparing to Torquemada..

Same for me here!

I love to play the original Factions (balace and story wise) but in the SMAX environment!
