They tell me that's not really what that means.

I apologize for this error of compression.

Unfortunately, those people lobbing missiles were hiding among the "innocent" citizens and near schools. It became a choice between two evils. Which was worse, allowing people to continue to lob missiles across the border killing Israelis, or take out the ones firing the missiles, and possibly innocent civilians in the process (called collateral damage).

Bomb Construction merit badge, the Hand to Hand Combat Specialist merit badge and Torture and Interrogation Techniques merit badges are just a few examples. The Boy Scouts in Praetoria are definitely Loyalist based. So be a good little drone and sign your kids up today!

Redside: Equals sexytime all the time!

Not to mention, I like Redside Classes more then Blue(though I still enjoy Controllers quite a bit). Yes, These days if you have everything, you can Pocket D Port, Oro Port, Base Port, Mission Port, to said places. Still damn annoying Im more of a marathon runner then actual game player on Blueside. I do not like Radio Missions, I was never a fan of Paper missions, I find them handy "IF" I run out of a contact, but for most part I enjoy the story arcs.

I like the dark, grim, & apocalyptic look of Redside in some of the zones, while other zones are very industrial looking, with darker side to em, I enjoy that.

What Blueside mostly players dont seem to understand is, why folks like me exist, to them it baffles there mind, how could anyone prefer Redside over blueside, ZOMG! Since they do not like it, that must mean no one else must like it.

Oh, and wandering citizens shouldn't smart-mouth me ("My, you're looking villainous tonight") as they walk by. Or at least let me hit 'em with my axe when they get sassy

I've only played up to 20 in CoV so far so maybe there's awesome villainous content ahead. If so, it shouldn't take 20 levels to start reaching it.

Oh, and a little advice to male gamers wanting their women to play. In my experience, most women don't start out as "powergamers". Emphasize the fun, social, and story aspects instead of the min-maxing killfest, and her interest will likely grow. Emasculating you with her purpled out Warshade will come in due time.

Sorry about the whine. I'll try to keep it under wraps next time :}
