I'm good. Trying to use CMANO to model a defense of Kalaron (Australia) but suffering from a lack of emplacements to put down, unfortunately. I'll look to see if they have AEGIS ashore, and if not might be putting (what should be) Silos into the beach :P

Aside from that, I'm just watching videos right now.

There wasn't a debate though, I just explained it to Const?

Hell, Const didn't even try to start an argument with it so it's weird how you use it against him.

Advice doesn't have to come in the middle of something, particularly when the subject has a tendency to make it heated? I prefer to preempt someone getting irritated.

To explain what I said (I think you're missing what I mean) the debate in question is the one I figured you might make if I mentioned the advice then. Hence, I chose to wait until something else was said that hit the requirement.

To be honest, it shouldn't be your place to disparage other people's character with 'advice' that makes them look bad.

You don't see me saying 'dont have a prolonged discussion with Kal, he has a tendency to be extremely pretentious and talk down to you, so it's best to avoid it'.

Sure, I've also not seen you talk about how Const flame-baits people either so that's a bit null though. Of course, we won't agree there, I'm sure. Anyhow, he can take the advice or leave it, I think it was pretty good tbh.

I haven't really studied her so that's the extent of my knowledge. On the bright side, she wouldn't have ended up trying to shuttle light fighting vehicles into the rolls of tanks, though :p

Yup, thankfully she stopped the cuts when it turned out the very ships that were instrumental to the fight were to be included.

It mirrors the Revolts of the Admirals pretty heavily, actually, though to be fair that was more "the airforce gets it all, the Army and the Navy get the boot"

Whelp... Operation: Madrid is now in effect. Spanelsko has finally CTE'd around 20 hours ago. Under their watch, the lands formerly known as 'Spain' underwent constant warfare and some of the most inhuman conditions seen by the WA. I have personally pledged the Red Army to mobilize, under the goal of cleaning out the various factions responsible for the state of devastation that has plagued Spain for years. Exactly three hours ago, elements of the 1st and 2nd Divisions, including the famed 142nd Mechanized Corps, departed from bases in the Russian heartland. The first wave of troops will be arriving by air transports and choppers within the next hour. Ladies and Gentlemen of the Confederacy, the reclamation of Spain will be a long and bloody conflict, but a worthy conflict indeed. Whether Spanelsko comes back, or a new owner moves in, I will ensure that the land is safe for their families. I am so confident in the abilities of the Red Army, that I dare to say, the Crimson Banner will fly above Madrid within two weeks if not a week!

The dude caused me to be outcast from the only community I knew and loved on this website for a damn long time. I was victimised, criminalised and then exiled for doing nothing more than voicing opposition. The only apology I got was years later when Everest himself sent me a lame little telegram asking us to put our differences aside and telling me he thought the judge in my trial was a little fishy, like that made up for what happened.

I get to see the guy's 'legacy' practically celebrated despite him doing nothing in his terms other than going inactive and allowing actual competent people like Minnie and Sul hone their political careers. So yeah, I'll make sure everyone remembers what he and the rest of his little group did for the rest of my time here. If you think that's being sh!tty then that's absolutely fine, because in my opinion it's well deserved.

Information you don't need is easier to forget than information you do use. I knew a really hard working girl in HS who worked two jobs and could tell you how to take a house apart, didn't know that Africa isn't a country, though.

Right, people aren't going to remember everything. That is true. But American teenagers should be able to say what Congress can and can't do. They should be able to say who we fought against for our independence. (We celebrate every damn year), and be tought what the flag stands for.
