Real Men / Real Roleplayers / Loonies / Munchkins

[Ed Kolis]

You might have seen this kind of thing on RPG humor sites, and SE4 is kinda turning into an RPG, so let's have some fun with it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

P&N Race Types
Real Men play Pirates.
Real Roleplayers play Nomads.
Loonies play Devnull Monsters!
Munchkins play all of the above - hey, they're zero point traits, might as well pick 'em! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Treaties
Real Men form Military Alliances.
Real Roleplayers form Non-Intercourse treaties.
Loonies form Trade Empires Every 10 Turns treaties.
Munckkins - "Subjugation's for wimps. Where's the 'j00 /\/\y 633y4tch' treaty???"

Weapons
Real Men shoot Anti-Proton Beams.
Real Roleplayers launch Capital Ship Missiles.
Loonies lob Holy Photon Grenades of Antioch!
Munchkins fire Guns of Always Hitting and Making Things Blow Up Really Fancy-Like.

Stellar Manipulations
Real Men use Destroy Planet.
Real Roleplayers use Create Storm.
Loonies use Create Gas Cloud around Uranus http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
Munchkins use Destroy Universe.

Idols
Real Men worship Suicide Junkie
Real Roleplayers worship PvK
Loonies worship Alan Emrich
Munchkins worship anyone, as long as they're a Starfury beta tester who's willing to "bend" their NDA http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Stock Races
Real Men play the Amonkrie.
Real Roleplayers play the Praetorians.
Loonies play the Ithkul.
Munchkins play the Borg after assimilating all the stock races. "But they ARE a stock race - see, here's an assimilated Jraenar, and an assimilated Abbidon..." http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Mods
Real Men play P&N.
Real Roleplayers play Proportions.
Loonies play Team Fortress!

Munchkins play the Ultimate Shipsize Mod <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hey!! I resemble that remark.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif ..um.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/blush.gif

Actually, I toggle between playing the TDM/FQM-Deluxe and the UVS (Ultimate Vehicle Size)/FQM-Deluxe mods..the latter one is the main reason my first shipset was neo-standard to begin with http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif .

ed, thats very accurate describing me as a roleplayer, almost all of them hit the target http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
To the best of my knowledge im in the small minority of people who create NI treaties, and storms are kewl. and so on http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

In Homecoming 2 I have a NI treaty, a NA treaty, some TA Treaties and a partnership, some wars and some without treaties.
My partner is a protectorate to another player.
