Lets get our X tons of Duranium back!

....Is that still a valid thing to jingoistically blow out of proportion?


When did the first McDonald's open on Ursa?

I don't think it was literally a billion people that died, but between the actual deaths, the chaos and collapse of order, refugees leaving, damaged infrastructure, and all sorts of other nastiness it's as if the planet lost the output of a billion productive citizens. Not that a billion people were literally and directly killed.

Now that's the poo poo I do like.

Both of them, but Space McDonalds especially. Saw it coming from a mile away and still literally laughed out loud.

Love it, nice to see we're back in the game.

Also, I know you mean us when you say the Free Republic, but the first few times I did a double-take and thought you were talking about :freep:

I thought the Republic was in by GM fiat before the voting even began?

I'm surprised nobody's asked the obvious question of how popular SA is among the galaxy. I imagine it hasn't been updated once in the past 500 years and there's only like 3 posters, but maybe the Meklar have a thing for ancient internet history?

A slightly more serious question:

What's the Space Internet and Space Social Media look like? Is there a universal internet-analogue that lets a Mrrshan send a SpaceBook message to their Meklar friend, or do all the empires have segregated networks (excluding, of course, the Darloks)? Does Space Mark Zuckerberg troll everyone's personal data to support their campaign for Space Senator?
