New Spartans are extremely hard to kill. Of course I thought I was making a ground combat race of supermen. :P

I would classify my race primarily as explorers, but unfortunately you left that one out of the poll :P

I have another race that does not fit clearly into any of the above categories. My design was based upon trying to make them into the ultimate race of spies and infiltrators. (MOO II fans should think "Dorlock.") :P Pete warned me that the espionage game would not be well developed for quite some time, but I decided to plan for the (very) long term, and go with my original race design, anyway.

Anyway, I chose the diplomacy category because many of the racial trates that make for good spies, also make for good diplomats.

That's right. Then throw in some chameleon ability, natural linguistic ability, and highly accute senses. :cheers: Then just sit back and take bets on how long it will take the local police to find Waldo. :thumbsup:

I sincerely hope so. Otherwise, both I an all the members of my race are severely self-deluded.

So delete the whole post. I could easily refute every single one of your points, but you're right. This isn't a political board.

Guys,
Please keep this board non political unless it is galactic politics we're talking. It gets real ugly real fast otherwise and I would prefer to not have to skip your posts when I see your nics in fear of getting all riled up by (insert your political view here) clashing with (insert opponents political view here) so please if you want to discuss that keep it to IM or another board. This election is already the dirtiest on both sides I've ever seen so let's keep this a earth dirtfree board ok?

:cheers:

Kudos to all the firefighters involved who want to keep this place a relatively flame free place when it comes to real life politics! It speaks for you character and integrity. I salute you.
