[ whoops sorry, lucky recipients of this filter -- you've been chosen because you were mentioned in that anonymous information post a while back. ]

Have there ever been any fights on this ship caused by an individual's national or military association?

[ END FILTER ]

I've heard people here come from differing versions of reality. To those from Earth, I'd like to ask of any ongoing international military conflicts. It seems the conflict I'm familiar with, between the United States and Republic of Greater Asia, is not one shared with many "versions" of Earth.

[ pause. it looks like that's the end for a moment, and then there's a small addendum: ]

I'd also like to ask if the words Battle Royale have any meaning to anyone.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Most of the conflicts involving earth with which I am familiar involve quarrel with other races; I remember no noteworthy conflicts between Earth's own nations. Perhaps that it because the human race would not survive in galactic society if humans preoccupied fighting each other.

[A pause for personal reflection.]

Regardless. As far as I am familiar, a Battle Royale is type of combat most often initiated for the entertainment of the observers. This may or may not be what you are referring to.

That wasn't what I was referring to.

You're saying there's no war on Earth where you're from?

No. Humans do not war with themselves. There have been wars, however. A famous example being The First Contact war, primarily fought between humans and turrians.

[ no fucking clue what turrians are, but that's less important than: ]

What was the outcome?

Like Panem. No one knows Panem here.

[Annie hesitates at her keys].

What's a Battle Royale?

Not familiar with the name. A country?

[ and, after a short pause, ]

Battle Royale was the unofficial name of a law. The Sixty-Eighth Battle Testing Program.

Yes. Twelve Districts. I'm District 4. Annie Cresta.

[It's still so strange to be unknown.]

I don't know what that means. What does it do? How does it test?

what do you mean by greater asia? i think some of it used to be in zanzibar land but didnt that regime fall apart a while ago?

[She's still getting used to the fact that her world wasn't the same for everyone else, okay.]

where i came from there were wars all over the place though the biggest conflicts seemed to be in the middle east eastern europe and south america.

After World War II, most former east Asian countries were brought together under the name of the Republic.

[ he's a little curious about zanzibarland, but at least he knows that this is probably someone not from his world. not someone he has to be overly careful about. ]

Conflict between whom?

kind of like the ussr?

strange i dont think anything like that happened in my world.

but as far as conflicts go there were a lot.

in the middle east a uk based pmc was sent by the us government deployed to fight off rebel soldiers there.

in eastern europe a us based pmc was sent to deal with the paradise lost army who are against the patriots.

and then in south america my pieuvre armament pmc from france was sent to deal with rebels there.

im sure there were more conflicts but those are the major ones.

Told ya.

[Ha-ha you can't punch him here ~~he is 13 and what is this.~~ But... he's looking at the other responses, so moving on.]

That didn't happen where I'm from. The Republic thing.

[ fine you may be right but like hell he's going to ever admit it B| B| B|!!!!!!!!!! ]

It doesn't seem to have happened in many people's worlds.

[He'll wrangle something out of getting punched B| just you wait B| First, country business.]

Which countries got - [...that's too creepy.] - which countries were in the Republic.

ffff what a conversation

handelaar - 2012-07-20 06:12 (UTC) - Expand

as far as i know, conflicts have been going on for a very long time. the military is always involved.

i am not familiar with this republic of greater asia, though.

It doesn't seem many know of it.

What nations are most involved in the conflicts where you're from?

it seems that most people come from different places.

from what i can remember, we were at war between the commonwealth and the u.r. i don't know how how things are going to go there now. everything was in disarray after i shot the commonwealth's chairman in the head.

plenty of skirmishes between privatized Marines belonging to the UAC (a corporation, not a country) with guerrillas across the globe

no Republic of Greater Asia, never has been.

year is 2046 if that clears anything up

2001. Haven't heard of the UAC.

I'm not familiar with corporate warfare. For what purpose?

protecting investments. UAC pisses a lot of people off, they fight back.

Not that I am aware of, no.

Are you afraid of something like this occurring? Has someone provoked you in some way?

Nothing specific. A common occurrence where I'm from, confirming it won't happen here.

I imagine that there are enough people from many walks of life. You will offend some people and you will not offend others. I don't think you're in any danger.

If I can ask, though, what part of your military association would give people cause to harm you?
