Even More Conversing Uselessly

[PirateKingChris]

 
What exactly is she getting voted president of?

[Delling]

Hmm... *ponders*...

Does it matter?

[Nebel]

Of the empire, obviously It has castles and pyramids!

[Delling]

Well... she's already empress of that... it's more like she's being voted president of a nation that is very democratic (it only allows conquest by democratic election )... ... but then she can add it to her empire!

[PirateKingChris]

Well technically if it's democratic then it CAN'T be part of an empire.

[Petra Rocks]

Not necessarily. I can't think of any examples of a democratic nation volunteering to be annexed by an Empire, but "Empires" have had democratic rule. The heartland of the British Empire used to be democratic, as were many of the colonies e.g. Canada. Same with the French Empire. Some historians would even argue the US was an empire of sorts once, or had Imperial-style colonies in the Cuba and the Philippines. To be honest the term (Empire) is pretty loose, it usually just carries the connotation of a multi-national realm ruled by a monarch of some sort, but exceptions can probably be found to both those cases.  France circa 1930 certainly had an Empire without a King, and the German Empire was pretty mono-national until it nabbed a few colonies in Africa. So in the end, I guess an Empire is whatever you call one.

*Agrees with pretty much everything Petra just said*

Whatever she wants to call it, it shall be so.

[Delling]

At first I though Petra was responding to me... then I saw the "" and I just didn't see how he could be responding to me ... then it took me a while to see PK's post wedged between the two longer posts like a context hot dog wedged between two halves of a bready context-free bun.

Also... *agrees in turn with both Petra and Merlin*

[PirateKingChris]

Oh jeez I knew half of that too. Brain fart.

[racx_00]

How unuseless of you all! None of this talk is useless! What happened to you people?!

[Deloria]

Of the empire, obviously It has castles and pyramids!

And tetrahedrons!!

[Suzie]

And triacontahedrons

[PirateKingChris]

And triceratops? 

[Deloria]

And triacontahedrons

Yes!!

*decrees that all edifices in her Empire without turrets must be either tetrahedric, triacontahedric or pyramidic in shape*

[Suzie]

And triacontahedrons

Yes!!

*decrees that all edifices in her Empire without turrets must be either tetrahedric, triacontahedric or pyramidic in shape*

Can there also be giant trapezohedrons?

[Nebel]

Things shaped like triceratopses (?) would be awesome too, no?

[PirateKingChris]

Yeah! Nebel, Tessy, and I sure think so!

[Yonkey]

I trust the triceratops will be transposed onto the tetrahedral turrets?

[Delling]

*has a slight headache*

I would suggest that we take the correlation of the triceratops with the convolution of a tetrahedron with a turret except that trying to think out the consequences of that hurts hurts my head.

Down with the Empire!  It will be overrun by dinosaurs with three horns whos species I will not type because of fear of misspelling it.
