This thread is for the reading and discussion of the preview of a story that I'm writing. Maybe because of this they will make a creative arts forum? (hint hint, wink wink)
For those of you who have read Eric lunds Halo novels, you will notice the similarities between the files...
ENCRYPTION LEVEL: ALPHA
TO: COMMANDER IN CHIEF, DER FÜHRER- DIETER MARKS
FROM: DIRECTOR OF NAVAL SPECIAL OPERATIONS, FLEETCOM, HEINRICH HERRMAN
SUBJECT: OPERATION: VORBOTE
LOCATION SENT: EFN FLEETCOM HQ, NEW GERMANY
LOCATION RETRIEVED: CLASSIFIED (OMEGA LEVEL CLEARANCE REQUIRED)
DATE SENT: DECEMBER 6th, 2641 23:52 (STANDARD MILITARY CALENDER)

FILE-BEGIN

Guten Abend, mein Führer.

Battlegroup Impervious has rendezvoused with Battlefleet Foehammer, as ordered, at the Devil’s Eye system.
They have just entered tunnelspace and should be at the United Systems of America garrison world Remnant within 5 hours. As soon as the exit tunnelspace, they will attack.
Once we have knocked out this garrison world, we can conquer the surrounding systems without resistance, seeing as the next habitable system is 4 light-years away, and it’s just a colony system.
The Empire of Fascist Nations will once again be feared as old Deutschland once was, with an iron fist.
It is an honor to serve the leader of the 4th reich.

FILE-END

It was supposed to be a part of the file, because the only hint that these guys are Nazis is the "leader of the 4th reich" part.

[Admiral_Antilles]

ahn ok

still

[TheDude]

I understand, you know. But what kind of nazis don't have swastikas?

[Stargazer]

You should take it down, no one wants to see that picture around here.

[Admiral_Antilles]

yes plz its ya

im personally offeneded i lost people in that war..

[HissingNewt]

Actually, neo-nazis in Germany don't use the swastika because it is illegal to possess nazi flags or artifacts in Germany. My geography teacher said some nazi's got arrested for possessing stuff like that. But the symbol is definitely offensive to anybody who was targeted by Hitler during the Holocaust.

[Gray__Fox]

you honestly think a symbol like that is offensive when it's not followed by anything hateful? It's part of his story it's not like he's promoting it in any facet... It symbolizes what he's getting at...
he does have freedom of speech and he is not promoting what it symbolizes as a good thing in any way shape or form... I believe he has the right to keep it up...

I mean hundreds were lost but being over-sensitive is what holds creative minds from expanding... and doom needs to let his mind expand for gods sake
everything offends someone... if he's forced to remove that I should go post where I find something offensive (which on this forum isn't hard) and ask it be removed... and we'd have a blank forum if we did that...

oh and on topic... there isn't anything to it worth replying to...

[Stargazer]

so what? basically we can post swastikas all we want but when we want to make a "sexual" joke, which is of course, a joke, our post gets moderated?

[Admiral_Antilles]

i thought we werent allow to post nazi stuff here....

[TheDude]

I have polish(Is that spelled right?) ancestery, and God knows they were hit badly during Hitler's 3rd reich.

What else am I supposed to post as their symbol, the Doube-cross from the Great Dictator?

[Foshjedi2004]

If it is a story you don't really need to put a Swastika up on the boards.

Rule 5

The posting of obscene material is not allowed. (ie pornography, violent and disturbing images and/or writings.)

Some people may find the Swastika Disturbing. So Can you take it down Please.

[TheDude]

KK, Im on it.
Sorry to those of you who were offended. I wasn't aware it would be considered 'obscene'.

[Farfalo]

It shouldn't be considered offensive or obscene. The Swastika is a budist symbol. The Nazis stole it and flipped it around. It didn't originate as a Nazi symbol though. I know you're using it as one though which is why I won't fight the decision to take it down.

[TheDude]

Here's a little timeline so you guys an understand what this future is like.

2086: A joint scientific effort makes a major scientific breakthrough: a way of interstellar travel. With this discovery many nations around the world begin constructing fleets of ships with this new technology. Increased tensions between nations degrade foreign relations.
2093: This technology was tested and is a success.
2095: The United Nations collapse and Earth is on the brink of World War III.
2095: The nations of Western Europe form a faction known as the North Atlantic Protectorate. This is a red flag to many world leaders.
2096: With foreign relations between the countries of North America and Europe degrading by the minute, the North Atlantic Protectorate and The United States begin an arms race. With everyone taking sides, Mexico and Canada combine with the United States.
2097: Russia and the scattered eastern European nations combine their nations and military forces, and create the Confederacy of Socialist Systems.
2097: China and its neighbors form the 4th faction, the Republic of Communist Planets. Inter-faction tensions are worse then ever when the RCP began testing Weapons of mass destruction.

2633: A man by the name of Dieter Marks is elected chancellor of the faction still known as the North Atlantic Protectorate.
2634: A bill is passed within the North Atlantic Protectorate changing its name to the Empire of Fascist Nations.
2638: A large group of neo-nazis usurp control of the EFN. The other three factions along with the EFN are shocked when they find out that this Dieter Marks is its leader. He quickly establishes control and makes the faction’s capital world New Germany.
2641: After a surprise attack by the EFN on the United Systems of America major garrison world in the Galactic east, a massive inter-faction war begins.

so according to this there are about 5 avatars that I should ask be removed...

[Foshjedi2004]

Go Ahead. Report them to a Moderator or Admin.

[MarbleRye]

I wouldnt consider that to be obscene at all honestly....

Its not like hes supporting the nazis, and even if he did it still would be legal, and it was only suppose to be part of the story, in most storys theres good guys and bad guys.

But the fact is ppl are finding it offensive so I guess it should be takin down.
