    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    ... wow, I can't believe what I'm seeing. The thing was that the Minbari had a lot of goodwill despite the 1k years and a mighty reputation. In addition, we're talking about aliens here, but you conveniently forget that I said that the goodwill vanished during the Earth-Minbari War (and it sank...

    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    You wouldn't believe how much goodwill defeating the Shadows gave the Minbari, largely because that particular war still all but exterminated quite a few races. Many of them became part of the Minbari Protectorate. That's just how brutal the last Shadow War was. Then there was the fact that they...

    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    From my understanding, the LONAW is basically a mix of pre-unification Germany and pre-Civil War US, deeply fractured and divided. Then there is the fact that the Minbari has a reputation of being genocide happy when someone gets their ire... as well as the insanely enormous amount of goodwill...

    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    It should be noted that humans are always falling within a bell curve in terms of ideology, at least before the dawn of memetic science and the internet (and even then, it just flattens that bell curve). Another thing is that the LONAW, during the Minbari War, had a literal gun at their heads...

    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    That's not entirely true, given what happened during and after the war, specifically the fact that a significant portion of the Drazi military was going to meet up with Earth Alliance units but vanished in hyperspace (either due to a Minbari ambush or a Vorlon 'intervention'). At the tail end of...

    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    Yes and no. Santiago was someone that understood that the main threat to humanity is Minbar, but also understood that diplomacy should be the first weapon, so to speak. He wasn't above preparing for a worst-case scenario, though.

    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    Here's the thing, Clark probably got keepered towards the end, much like Londo did when he became Emperor. The thing was, Clark didn't know -or probably couldn't, given that what Londo used to knock his keeper out is fluffed to be wood alcohol grade at the minimum and he was seriously chugging...

    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    I'll probably ask you in the near future about all sorts of things. :) Yes and no. Everyone has the Interceptor Concept down, only two races actually go 'all in' with the concept. One is Humanity, partially because of prior experience and partially because they got the Interceptor and E-Web...

    ... it's a pain to keep track of who's who in the SB 'family' of forums... so if Harlock is LightningCount, then I might have to hire him as a consultant because I'm only getting something like ~250USD per two weeks right now... and I just got done paying off a major medical bill.

    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    I mean I've got all the spaceship datasheets and the B5Wars Kitchen Sink Edition rulebook, the real problem is getting my hands on the faction/race books and their ground forces. Annoying as that is. Finding them cheap is impossible with my current searches. One of the cheapest I found was over...

    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    Well, the sad thing is that I don't have the money and finding the material is stupid hard. :( So, if you have the race/faction books in PDF format, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    Ah to see (and watch) B5 material again, oh it warms my heart. :) Good to see this sort of material coming out again, even getting me to start thinking of starting my own fics... though I want to have the various EU materials (specifically the species books from B5Wars and associates) on hand...
