What system are we going to set up? They will probably end up with chaos, and have the strongest rogue claw his way up to being the next Emperor Cole. Yes, I guess you can call me an Isolationist.

The Rikti invade constantly and Zombies abound.
We go to Praetoria and Nemesis, Malta and who knows who else move in in our wake. Bet they get to take over the Isles too.

Nemesis, Malta, Arachnos...We rise, they fall.

Long live Emperor Cole.

And never go up against a Praetorian when death is on the line!
One power, one goal.
Hail Emperor Cole!
I see what you did there, Pork.
Fortunately this party is neutral

I believe that a Kheldian Gold Standard should be based on SO's, and for anything above that... there's Platinum!

I mean... the metaphors are still apparent, West.

You presume I am residing in Paragon City out of some sentimental attachment to it, or a desire to see it improve. To the best of my knowledge, my greatest success in the city, the one act I performed that benefited the city and could not have been performed by a different hero instead, was failing to stop Crey Industries from increasing my powers.|

No, cities will rise and fall on their merits, not mine. I have no attachment to this one, and so I will join the battle on a new front.
Good day,
Noble Intent.

The only time I've ever seen a Giant Monster actually attack something is when Jack and Eochai beat the tar out of each other in the Vale.
Lusca just sits in IP waving her tentacles. The Paladin stomps around Kings but doesn't actually do any harm. The Kraken maybe does mess up the nice clean water in Perez, but that place has far worse problems and Jurrasik actually has kind of a point in rampaging through Creys given the mess humans have made of the place.

Your pick.
Would you rather envision that my typing is inaccurate, or pantsless?

These people in Praetoria need our help just as much as the people of Paragon City do! We can't stand idly by and let a tyrannical ruler crush any free expression - isn't freedom of expression exactly one of the basic inalienable rights your country - indeed, both of our countries - were founded upon? "Avoid foreign entanglements" my foot! We need to bring an end to Cole's rule once and for all! For freedom - from one world to the next!
I'm interested to see what your isolationist stance is on them coming to help us out in Paragon city?
Oh and btw: Viva La Resistance!
Quote:
You say "pre-emptive" like it's a bad thing. Would you rather fight Cole's minions in Praetoria or Paragon? Let's face it, the battle will happen one way or the other.
