Actually your wrong. If we reconsider the true meaning of racism word, which was divided from word race...

Nomad race

Human Race

One hated by another. Thats totally racism. And not extremistic racism, but deadly one to be exact.

Though i do think that genocide vs another race can be seen as the most extreme form of racism Wink

nomads are not racist nor speciest, and went far beyond genocide. They would have killed off everyting in our genus - cows, chickens, grass, wheat, grapes - anything that would have sustained us. their intentions were 'Solist'. they wanted to exterminate EVERYTHING, not just humans.

I'm a white guy in the far east, where i often get called 'red monkey' to my face.

I used to live in africa, where i was often called 'whitey'.

none of these epithets are intended to be in anyway derogatory or perjorative, but i have a ginger friend who gets really upset by being called a red monkey.

sometimes our own interpretations of someone's actions leads to miscomprehension. It's called The Flaw of Egocentricism. From the point of view of a bacteria, we are horrible incomprehensible beings bent on their destruction.


from the point of view of the nommies, we were an infestation of cockroaches, and by popping sol, they 'cleaned out the nest'

I really would love the "kill all humans" RP to come out more from those playing Nomads.

according to the lore, the nommies started the events of SP as they were not strong enough to take us on mano-y-nommie, but the derring-do of one Edison Trent and his magic torch artifact forced their hand, and led to them being blown away by the magical forces of 'lets end this story right here, and get this overdue game on the market already'.

i'm not an expert in the RP of nomads of Disco, but i believe that they're incline towards the subtle manipulation path, rather than direct confrontation, havng learnt what havoc one generic hero supported by market forces can wreak.

i speak with tongue in cheek, but essentially the purple-troll squad is thankfully a thing of the past, as it led to excessive OP'd PVP: one nommie against 4 gunboats, 3 bombers and 6 fighters and it STILL walked away. their ships have been nerfed, and the corresponding change in their behaviour/rp has been both marked and welcome.

i think the nommies should have stronger shields and weaker guns, so their current fragility is no longer hampering their ability to RP in systems beyond the lonelicrons.

A pity, that the last nerv hasn't killed all the nom factions yet.
Let's nerv them again (if that's even possible), and make them die completely.

You racist.

Anyhow, I sort of agree with Anixamander's opinion of Nomad RP.

You're stereotyping Nomads. You're racist, not them.

Maybe I posted very late .

I wanted to say that Nomad RP is not racist,but It does contain 0,1% of racism.The thing is that Nomads are just viewing us as a threat.

I beileve this thread shouldn't exsit.

I will put an Real Life example.
Imagine an Extraterrestrial UFO lands in Washington D.C.
First thing is:Are their intentions friendly,or hostile ?.

Nomads viewed us a threat imidiately when we met them.If they don't look like us,they don't act as us < < Nomads thought of that probably.

Its in human's nature to explore.Sometimes we go at places we shouldn't.

Battleship Osiris,Singleplayer Campaign. ( Nomad War 800-801 A.S )

Juni: Impressive, isn’t it?
Trent: Juni, you’re here. How did you…?
Juni: We had to move the operation. The artifacts, the research – everything! Quintaine and Sinclair are conferring with Orillion now.
Trent: Orillion?
Juni: Yes, Trent. This is his flagship.
Juni: And this must be…
Hakkera: Herr Von Claussen!
Von Claussen: Hakerra!
Hakkera: You are here at last. Do you have the plans?
Von Claussen: I do, thanks to Mr Trent. My compliments, Hakkera. He’s a fine addition to your group. Thank you, again.
King: Trent!
Trent: King! You’re here, too?
King: A lot of us are. Welcome aboard the Osiris. A fine piece of hardware from the Liberty Naval labs.
Trent: This is a Liberty ship?
Juni: It was. It’s an advanced prototype they never had the chance to use. The Order commandeered her right out from under their noses.
Trent: Who makes off with an entire ship without getting caught?
Orillion: I do, Mr Trent. My name is Casper Orillion. Welcome to the Osiris and to The Order.

Trent: So. Mr Orillion. You used to work for Liberty?
Orillion: For their deepest darkest. I was their top agent until I discovered the Nomads had taken over my CO. They wanted me too. But I managed to escape aboard this ship. That’s when I committed myself to learning everything I could about the Nomads and their plan. I surrounded myself with recruits from all over the colonies. People like you two, to help rid us of the infestation.
Trent: You mean the Nomads.
Orillion: That’s right. They’ve been taking over Human beings from some time now, controlling them. As near as we can tell, this all started when a Rheinland survey team discovered an uncharted planet. One that no Human had ever set foot on. Unfortunately, when they penetrated its crust, the inhabitants that lived inside viewed us… as a threat.
Trent: So why not just attack us outright?
Juni: Because we’re too strong.
They had to soften us up a bit. That’s why the Chancellor started this war in the colonies.
Orillion: So when we’re sufficiently thinned out, they can come in and mop up the rest.
Trent: So the Chancellor is a host body for the Nomads, too?
Orillion: Isn’t it obvious? Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a briefing to attend. Colonel Zane?
Juni: Don’t worry, Trent. No need to salute.


This is my final dot on this threat.

In all,this is just a game.Sometime we take it to seriously.
