Alright, I know that this is going to piss off a lot of people, but I was thinking that after a war, once you've taken control of a country, and please please please don't get super pissed at me, just say what you think of the idea... anyway, I was thinking you might be able to, ahh, replace, the native population with your own. Again, please don't get pissed at me, just say what you think of the idea.

Why? In order to avoid situations you are proposing SC is very generic/general in the sims culture/religion/ideology.

In current SC system there is no need or even a function for the suggested "idea", and even if it was, it would be terrible at best.

Also their is already a in-game population transfer system (intra-empire), feel free to move people from your main country to your slaves and role-play that in way you fancy (in private).

Thank you for saying it yourself instead of making me say it. And for the record, I'm not actually sure if it's a good idea or not, in fact I think it would be pretty dumb to do that, but just as an option.... In fact, I felt kind of terrible putting that idea forth. So I'll just say it. Yes, I was thinking C3 genocide. Or, if it's a player country you take over, then that. Just putting it out there.

For the record, I do not in any way condone real-world genocide. I am not a skinhead, in fact, I have more tolerance than most people, since I am both an atheist, a vegan, and a self-described hippie. I'm just saying it might be interesting in the game.

It might make for some interesting politics and cause a few more war declarations.

I have more tolerance than most people because I am an atheist? Really?

I think you should reconsider that statement. Your religious (or lack of religious) beliefs don't make you any more or less tolerant. There's nothing in the Bible or the Qur'an or anything that says "Do not tolerate people" - in fact, the opposite is true. And there's no "Atheist Contract" that prescribes tolerance.

Sorry to pick you up on that one little statement, but it does kind of suggest that religious people are intolerant.

Err... Accordian, read revelations of the bible.

Not very tolerant of homosexuality is it?

Muslim tolerance of the 'infidel', sexual equalty...

Hundreds of other examples available on request.

I mean that because a lot of people have been jackasses to me because I don't believe in
"God". And besides, just because the bible doesn't say not to tolerate people, it doesn't mean that people just automatically accept things. Anyway, Please just focus on my idea.

Stupid idea BBJBS....you mean kinda like Hitler did by trying to remove the Jews and replace them with his "perfect" arian nation??

....and thank you Jesus for dieing on a cross for my sins on this Good Friday....and for the hope you have given us through Your resurrection on this Easter Sunday.

Now...lets see if that gets more negative comments than the BBJBS idea...genocide is more acceptable on this forum than Jesus.

Am I missing the point here?

I hate to disillusion anyone but, while we all think fondly of our little sim citizens, the bottom line is they are a bunch of 1s and 0s on a server somewhere in the Netherlands. We can imagine them to be of whatever skin colour or nationality we want. We can move the numbers around and imagine we are selling them into slavery, swapping 'natives' between two countries, forcing them abroad to help with other nations' disasters, killing them off by denying them medical treatment or leading them into a decimating war.

But why would you want to swap a whole load of numbers that you image to be of a certain type, only to replace them with similar numbers that you imagine to be of a different type?

Save yourself the trouble and use your imagination ...

Hugs and respect
