[QUOTE="Nisarg, post: 1902840, member: 19893"] Whatever map was there appears not to be anymore. And its a bit patronizing (or naive, I can't really figure which) to suggest that the issues regarding cultural imperialism can be remedied by changing football to futbol. Finally, I still do not see it a "realistic" (internally consistent, sure, but not realistic) situation by which you explain how all the survivors of a 22nd century cataclysm end up being 20th century americans.. because what I'm saying is that so far I've seen nothing to indicate that the American culture has actually changed in any meaningful way in the 200 years leading up to the disaster; that's the bigger issue, that's what makes it jingoistic. Not the mere fact that its a "mostly american" ship but the idea that 20th Century American values are so absolute and all-powerful that they will survive without any significant change for 200 years, "and yea, American Values will verily survive even the destruction of the earth itself"... no, that doesn't seem jingoistic at all. :\ As for "there are other ships".. perhaps I'm unclear about something.. weren't all the other ships lost? Are you saying that you're planning to make other supplements when those ships are "found" again, or that you're going to have other settings altogether explaining where those other ships went? Or do you just mean "hey, this minor supply ship that was along with the Dawning Star had a mostly chinese crew, so we'll be releasing the "Chinatown, Eos, USA" supplement"? Nisarg [/QUOTE]
