@Makcoink The only thing that can replace a Pummeler is another Pummeler. Nothing beats it's high effectiveness and bargain pricing.
And timeline-wise, the Great World War 2 in the C&C RP was less than a decade ago. So the Pummeler will be a relevant aircraft in the forseeable future.
@PINK @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation @GoldenEagle The Super Pummeler is here! If you have something you absolutely want to turn into a smoldering crater in the ground, look no further!
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Ahhh, a wonderful game, whose franchise, like Sonic, has been utterly destroyed by sequels as terrible as their business decisions.
Fortunately, the same fate has not befell Doom, Wolfenstien, and Mortal Kombat, so that's good.
You see, the newest releases of these games were supposed to be terrible last gasps of a dead franchise, but instead was an overcharged defibrillator that brought the 90's back to life.
Except for Bill Clinton's popularity and Nokia phones. The latter which I believe is what the armor of modern main battle tanks are made of.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Again, my suggestion is to make Australia an autonomous region, where although formally a part of Awwam, has some freedom from external government. In this case, the Awwami Caliphate.
While their foreign affairs are certainly handled by Awwam, they are able to make and enforce their own laws separate from Awwam. Similar to the status of Hong Kong, Macau, Native American Reservations in the United States, and the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao in the Philippines.
Yes, there are Muslims in the Philippines. Almost all of them live in the south of the country, in what is known as Mindanao in the form of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, and has recently negotiated with the Philippine government to have an autonomous region, as the Moros (who are Muslims) are a distinct minority in the predominantly Catholic nation. This is where many of your Aurunan (and later Katipunian) volunteers came from. And to their credit, they fought incredibly well.
Because as the Nepalese Gurkhas (who also fought in our army and are Hindus) will tell you, small men with big knives and smiles are scarier than big men with small knives and frowns. And Filipinos are:
-Small (relatively)
-Has Bolos (a big knife, kind of like a machete)
-And are quite happy people (Filipinos are known for their hospitality)
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation I do not suggest to do so without good medical insurance, for his creation was not particularly controllable and crashed. It was by luck or sheer happenstance, as was happened to most early aviators, that he didn't kill himself in the process.
Take Otto Lilienthal, who conducted many hang-gliding flights, died in a glider accident. However, his legacy was secure by then; it proved that controlled, heavier than air, flight was indeed possible, and although his research was later discarded in favor of wind tunnel test by the Wright Brothers after a couple flying seasons, he was credited with inspiring them to explore flight as a possibility.
It was a beautiful society. And the site where man first tried to fly.
Abbas Firnas will take the title of the first man to conduct flight of any sort. Now by all means he was a great inventor, creating corrective lenses, a water clock, a way to make colorless glass, a device of rings to simulate the movement of the sun and planets, and a means to cut rock quartz so they can stop sending it to Egypt to have it cut.
He decided to strap on a cloak-like garment with a wooden frame, and leapt from the towers of a mosque.
While he could certainly fly, he couldn't steer because he didn't put a tail on it. So he fell to Earth, but lived with only a bad back because the garment slowed his fall. He thought that next time, he should put a tail.
Yes, a Christian monk did the same thing later on, but broke his legs instead. @Supermini555
The title of pope is NOT passed down by direct descendants. However, the title of imam is closer to that of a Christian priest.
The pope is the overall leader of the Catholic Church, elected by high-ranking officials known as cardinals.
It's a heirarchy, from deacons, priests, and bishops.
Deacons are basically priests in training. Priests, commonly known as "fathers" (a symbolic title), are closest to Imams. Bishops are responsible for representing the Church in an area.
There are many ranks in the "bishop" title, such as "archbishop" (rep for Church in larger area) and Cardinal (a bishop who is a part of the Pope's College of Cardinals, and is considered second to the Pope, and hold many positions in the Vatican. It is from these cardinals that they elect a new pope.
A pope will have his position for life, unless he chooses to step down (which is VERY rare).
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Protestants and Catholics are similar to Sunni and Shia in that they are different sects in Christianity.
And Roman Catholocism is a branch of Christianity who believes that the line of succession of the pope, the leader of the Catholic Church who resides in Vatican Coty in Rome, is formally passed on in a non-hereditary lineage from one of Jesus' first followers, Peter, and that he made the other apostles priests to spread Christianity, and all Catholic priests come from this line of succession as well.
Protestants don't believe in that. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Yeah, I know. I understand the concept of God as a Trinity is something which may not be easy to wrap your head around, as Islam teaches of God as a single, entity which cannot be divided.
God is all three of them. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Across Christianity, this interpretation is a constant. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
I believe in a God, and that he is represented as the Father (God), the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit (the Holy Spirit) in what is known as the Holy Trinity. I do believe that one should help those who are weaker than them without concern to who they are or what they believe in. After all, Jesus dined with the scum of society, so he can elevate themselves in life.
Catholics are surprisingly liberal. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Nothing is perfect. Nothing. Because everything can be improved upon. And those who think that they Re perfect as they are will be surpassed by those who constantly strive to be better.
My call is to allow Awwam to gracefully dissolve, so that it may continue to be a smaller, but functional nation.
Also, I suggest to make China independent, for history shows that those who successfully conquer and occupy China will soon become Chinese. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
I tend to draw my conclusions based on history, because there, that's how people interpreted ideas into practice. I use Muslim empires, notably the Mughals and the Ottomans, to get a concept on how Islamic law would be adapted in order to make it work with the people.
Because perfection is a relative opinion. And what you think is perfect, others will feel is heavily flawed. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
There are men, who consider themselves men, who find sexual arousal in other men. Likewise, there are women, who consider themselves women, who find sexual arousal in women.
Then there are those who find sexual attraction in men and women.
What do you do with them? @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
True. But do not think that Islam is perfect (it isn't).
Paternia isn't perfect. The Paternian Congress is prone to multiparty deadlock at times.
But as the ARI's activities indicate, your country isn't either, and anyone who thinks their ideology is perfect is someone that is about to be b-tch slapped by History. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Also, note that some of our greatest minds were in fact homosexual, such as Alan Turing, the man who invented digital computers and made one that can efficiently decode messages encrypted via Enigma. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Well, it is. It's just suppressed heavily, and they live in fear. This is my analysis based on the historical treatment of homosexuals in Islamic countries (utter sh-t) and your comment. Many will have conflicted minds, thinking that in some way, that they are born wrong, or that they are cursed. Many of them come to Paternia because they know there, they can be comfortable with themselves.
Also, Paternian psychologists have long known that based on various studies done over a whole century, that almost all women are to some extent bisexual, and believe this to be true with men, to an extent which we are not aware of.
We are doing just fine, thank you very much. Our stock market has recovered and our schools at all levels are among the best in the world. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
But anyways, he doesn't have to enforce it. Information Control and the Paternian Consulate in Sydney confirms its unpopularity. Most have converted legally, but do not practice at all. Although illegal to do so, due to the prevalence of this practice, authorities have given up enforcement of this law.
Also note that in Canada, there is a huge black market for cigarettes and alcoholic beverages. A bottle of Paternian beer that would cost $11USD (including health tax) in Paternia would cost $200USD in Canada. A pack of 24 cigarettes in Paternia, with the 10% health tax, cost $15.50. In Awwam, they can fetch $300 easily. The punishments are harsh, but with such an extreme profit margin, many Awwamis and Paternians are willing to make that risk. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Well, the MP-18 evolved into the MP-28. Many features from the MP-28, such as its open-bolt nature and double-stack single-feed magazine, made it to the MP-38, but the MP-38 is a very different beast from the MP-28. The MP-38 was almost completely made of stamped and machined parts, where the MP-28 features a wooden stock. The MP-40 was an upgrade and simplification of the MP-38. Interestingly, there is a version known as the MP-41, which is basically an MP-40 with the furniture of the MP-28. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Same as Sharia. The excessive use of corporal punishments and destruction of rights for women compared to more modern law is a serious flaw.
Even you had these opinions, once referring to women in combat as "fragile" and "a flower in a sandstorm" before I mentioned that some of Muhammad's wives were generals. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
If Memeking insists on forcing you to impose Sharia and the jizya tax, simply agree and then consistently underfund and obstruct the mutaween (Islamic religious police) so they can't enforce it. @RMark1
You never tried to do so as a deliberate policy. However, I do not think that women are allowed to wear bikini swimsuits at the beach if I am correct. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation

@Deloreandude It's a MegaMan-based character made by the creator of Megaman.
@Deloreandude No, Mighty No. 9 loaded the revolver and shot down the whole franchise.
@Himynameiswalrus Everyone uses Pummelers. Pummelers are not exclusive to the Paternian Air Force.
Virtually every nation in this RP, with the notable exception of the GAE, operates the Pummeler in some capacity.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Ahhh, a wonderful game, whose franchise, like Sonic, has been utterly destroyed by sequels as terrible as their business decisions.

suddenly artillery and Pummelers
Crew of this thing: FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Lol @RMark1
So, another work in progress in progress.
@PyrusEnderhunter Sounds good!

Yep. @CALVIN232
lol @PyrusEnderhunter
And yes, I knew about Muslim Spain.
It was a beautiful society. And the site where man first tried to fly.
Abbas Firnas will take the title of the first man to conduct flight of any sort.

@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Well, you implied it. @PINK
And yes, the various Christian sects, like the various Muslim sects, are at occasion at each other's throats. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Please allow me to do the explaining. @PINK
Protestants and Catholics are similar to Sunni and Shia in that they are different sects in Christianity.
And Roman Catholocism is a branch of Christianity who believes that the line of succession of the pope, the leader of the Catholic Church who resides in Vatican Coty in Rome, is formally passed on in a non-hereditary lineage from one of Jesus' first followers, Peter, and that he made the other apostles priests to spread Christianity, and all Catholic priests come from this line of succession as well.
Protestants don't believe in that. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
I wouldn't call myself deeply religious, but I would consider myself a Roman Catholic. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Yeah, I know. I understand the concept of God as a Trinity is something which may not be easy to wrap your head around, as Islam teaches of God as a single, entity which cannot be divided.
And sure. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Yes. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
God is all three of them. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Across Christianity, this interpretation is a constant. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
The Holy Spirit is basically God's presence in everyone. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
We mean it. For real. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Do you become Chinese? Because ruling China is how you become Chinese. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
I believe in a God, and that he is represented as the Father (God), the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit (the Holy Spirit) in what is known as the Holy Trinity.

Because perfection is a relative opinion. And what you think is perfect, others will feel is heavily flawed. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Yes. And don't forget Jay-Z. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
lol
On the other hand, we must ask this: what is a god to a nonbeliever? @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
You realize that knowledge is an evolving process known as science. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
sigh no ideology or religion is perfect. Let us establish that before history provides her b-tch slap to Awwam. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
You are referring to transgender individuals.
There are men, who consider themselves men, who find sexual arousal in other men. Likewise, there are women, who consider themselves women, who find sexual arousal in women.
Then there are those who find sexual attraction in men and women.

Well, I do not regard any source as "definitive", especially religious texts of any type. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Well, it is. It's just suppressed heavily, and they live in fear. This is my analysis based on the historical treatment of homosexuals in Islamic countries (utter sh-t) and your comment. Many will have conflicted minds, thinking that in some way, that they are born wrong, or that they are cursed.

True story. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Most people who consume alcohol do so in moderation. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
We are doing just fine, thank you very much. Our stock market has recovered and our schools at all levels are among the best in the world. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Or maybe because they don't mind an occasional beer.
Also, how are homosexuals treated? @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Yup. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
So, if a woman accused a man of rape, what is the most likely result? @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
lol

I suggest you do.
Because @RMark1 can simply not enforce it, and use English Common Law as the de facto law of the land.
Remember, a law is as good as it is popular and enforced. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
