I don't quit
and won't leave unless Blankflag is reinstated.

I think the forum moderation has improved recently and a lot of people are making a lot of fuss about very little. I am not leaving, and that's that. SO THERE.

Texts books at my library and at school and a few books that my grandmother left for me god rest her soul. And I would always watch anything on history and discovery that had to do with feudalism. I also played a lot of a series called the warriors series there are 2 main ones and a few spin offs but the 2 main ones are dynasty warriors which had to do with the fall of the han dynasty and the three kingdom period in china the other series is samurai warriors which is about the waring state period of japan. Both have a feature in the games that have the factual story from historians that help the creators of the franchises to make those games. Also if you read the book romance of the threekingdoms thats basically dynasty warriors it was written mainly by one of the rulers of the three kingdoms his name is cao cao of the wei kingdom.

26 Jul 14 UTC
But these knights aren't actual knights they aren't trained the same way even when the samurai adapted to newer warfare they still were trained the same way after all those years. The Japanese military in ww2 tried to imitate them but of course when you modernize too fast you tend to loose the important parts of your culture which has happened in multiple countries around the world and all through history.

Your argument is now invalid my friend nice try. Oh by the way some of these modern knight organizations are stupid secret clubs in high horse colleges. And just cause you get knighted by the queen that doesn't mean you live up to it people have been knighted all the time one was a scientist if I recall. Sir just replaces mr now. So again your argument is invalid.

So you should really think and do some research before you comment on the matters at hand and let somebody finish giving their answer. That's why I ignored your comments in the first place. Be a little honorable when it comes to a conversation with somebody it shows them respect and people appreciate that and in return they will listen to what you have to say. Or be a kid and always jumped the gun the choice is yours my friend. Oh and threats don't will you points either. I suggest you take a debate class so you can be patient when it comes to a argument. :)

So even if they are their isn't a whole army of them plus he only gave one example again in debate you need more then just that. And the thing is I was talking about feudalism the knights today aren't apart of that anymore so again he is invalid with his argument about modern knight

He doesn't have a point anymore steephie being Knighted by the queen is just making a person a hero now. It doesn't mean go get on a horse and die for your noble man. A knight now their just doctors historian scientist businessman movie stars and few are soldiers.

Doesn't mean they live up to his or her title as a knight.

@THELEGION: Following your logic, the samurai can't have guns, because try finding 10.000 'real' knights in 18xx.

You can't just say that samurai are better because they were more advanced in the 19th century than knights were in the 15th century or so. Saying it counts because you're talking about feudal times is also quite ridiculous because you are essentially saying that samurai are better because they were still feudal in the 19th century. They just don't adapt so they win according to you. Traditional knights are gone because they adapted. A classic samurai doesn't have cannons. If an army of 19th century samurai meets an army of 19th century knights, I'm going for the knights.
If you think there are no 19th century knights, the battle apparently doesn't take place in the 19th century so take a different century.

Ok first off did you even check the waring state period of japan that is late 1500 to mid 1600 literally this traditional samurai and modernized samurai happen in a day so again go research it

My friend has 2 brother who want to play this game. They live in the same house so they would all have the same IP address and I know your not suppose to know a person outside the game but they can't help it. But would that technically be violating the rules or not.

Yet a mod who isn't supposed to forum.moderate locks the one about the silenced user because he doesn't like the user claiming it was spam. This is a third thread about yet another abuse of power. I bet it gets locked too.

lawns and political alignment
Seeing krellin's lawn on google street view made me wonder, is there a correlation between use of dandelion herbicidal chemicals and political rightwingedness?

Furthermore, if there is such a correlation, could the cause of said phenomenon be resultant from the corrosive effect of stated chemicals on human neural systems?
