Power is a goal. Pleasure is eternal. Welcome to Canopus.

So...Kurita?

Do you think that the Draconis Combine with it's many, many royal concubines, has a lot of Aro/ace leadership?  It's more evenly distributed than that, I should think.  But as someone who personally doesn't see the point of strip clubs or the like, I don't think a Pleasure Circus would be my cup of tea either.

[FaithBomb]

In my head Canon, even Lord Kurita likes pleasure circuses.

Yeah, but Kuritan misogyny is just...well...

[jimdigris]

That might actually make them more open to the pleasure circuses...as long as the women are completely cooperative.

Yeah, but the Magistracy, the women take no crap. Not a good mix.

[rebs]

That's true, too. 

But who doesn't like a purring cat girl with a gun?

*Insert Warlord with Japanese sounding name here*

[rebs]

Then we must rid the galaxy of them.  Seyla!

[jimdigris]

I never understood the fondness for the catgirl phenomenon.

The kind of Combine citizen who could afford to attend a pleasure circus is going to be polite to his hostesses.  Outsiders who aren't enemies will be treated with respect.  If you are a fellow citizen, then you have to deal with the pecking order.  Consequently, I don't see Combine customers antagonizing Canopian women in any role in pleasure circuses.

Neither have I.

I'm not sure how much I want to say to this but i strongly disagree that wealth is going to make people treat pleasure circus workers with more respect.

[jimdigris]

You're right.  The degree of drunkenness is a better predictor.

[jimdigris]

The latest AMA was a mixed bag for us.  On the plus side, the Marians are the sole producers of primitive-tech mechs.  On the minus side, it was stated that there wouldn't be anything new for the periphery powers.  This means that we still have to content ourselves with what we can get from the Capellans and the Sea Foxes.

You're welcome for that latter part being asked.  I dunno where you got the former though because I stopped watching a little while after to get on warframe.

[jimdigris]

There was a question or two about how much primitive tech was still being produced.

[Baldur Mekorig]

Hey, at least Canopus, with Taurus, are getting their own produced advanced tech, even if they have capellan help in the Canopus case. The Marians still making primitive tech is a bit facepalming in my opinion.

[Turaglas]

I'll have to look for it then.  I didn't want to go too far off topic when I asked about Ilclan designs proliferating into the Periphery.  I was satisfied (and slightly worried about other things) about them being widely disseminated. 

Although I expected both of those answers.  :/

Yeah. The Marians should at least be capable of Succession Wars technological production with a sprinkling of Star League tech.

[Turaglas]

Let's keep the Marian gripes in our own topic please.

[ArkRoyalRavager]

To be on-topic, Canopus has been pretty good at deploying on multiple fronts, even as far as Northwind.

[jimdigris]

Yes, and look what we got for our troubles.  I just hope that the First Canopian Lancers are rebuilt and no other units are used as cannon-fodder. 

[Turaglas]

Sauce on what's going on?

[Baldur Mekorig]

Last Highlander novel i think, Paid in Blood if i am not mistaken. I still have to read it. Someday, Highlanders are not high on my list of interesting factions.

[DOC_Agren]

Northwind Highlanders?

WOB forces.. why because unlike the other major Merc - Dragoons WOB didn't hit them hard

[ArkRoyalRavager]

With Canopus' resources, rebuilding shouldn't be a hassle.

[jimdigris]

The bottleneck may not be the machines.  Replacing dead warriors is the problem.

[ArkRoyalRavager]

Good luck with that.

[Turaglas]

Embrace the suck, it only makes you stronger.

[jimdigris]

If it does make you stronger, we'll let you keep it...over on your own thread.

[Daryk]

Heh... it FINALLY struck me that the Stainless Steel Rat was MADE for the Magistracy...   :-[

Nah, that filler, get screwed Periphery love is spread nicely to everyone here. 

Heh... it FINALLY struck me that the Stainless Steel Rat was MADE for the Magistracy...   :-[

The... what?
