Welcome and such.

Mitsahne is brilliant. As is Mogkira. You win today's Internet, Dan. Vaan's abs (just his spray-painted abs) deserve a place of honor on the top tier.

I don't think I've ever been more excited to see the next update in a thread.

GET OFF MY KOOL-AID.

"From 1641 to 1652, over 500,000 Irish were killed by the English and another 300,000 were sold as slaves. Ireland’s population fell from about 1,500,000 to 600,000 in one single decade." Cromwell ruled from 1656-1658. So that's not even the time period I was talking about. "During the...

Not really. Early slavery, and the majority of slavery around the world, was based on three things: War, crime, and/or debt. Nowhere else was it a systematic, governmentally and legally backed system on the scale that it was practiced in the Americas. The scale of suffering the American...

Mits, you fell RIGHT INTO MY TRAP. Totally ganking Char's 3 GP.

Ok, looks like we'll definitely have enough to do this. Anybody else that wants to join, you have until tomorrow sometime in the evening-ish EST (exactly exact) when I get this officially started.

Stop. Yes, slavery existed in Africa among African tribes. Slavery has existed as long as "civilization" has existed. But it was absolutely nothing like chattel slavery. Comparing the two is completely disingenuous. Rome left tribes they conquered alone, so long as they paid their taxes...

Nah, it's all online stuff. Unless you're willing to go that route. Totally not required though.

Yeah, there were a couple of instances of that. Cromwell sent about 100,000 Irish to North America and the Caribbean, and the Scots were known to send the Romani over. Huge differences though, as it wasn't a systematic trade for hundreds of years, and was not nearly on the same scale as...

Lol. Beatrix is a badass for sure. But the Knights of Pluto are the only male soldiers in the whole city (that I can recall anyway), so I think runs a little deeper than that.

For the first time in several years, my wife and I won't be spending Christmas together. /cue sad violin. She'll be visiting her grandmother and other family in Texas, while I'll be up with my father-in-law and brother-in-law for Christmas. So yeah, bachelor Christmas. Should be fun.

Whites were dominant because they kidnapped Africans and/or paid Africans to kidnap other Africans and then shipped them across an ocean where they were bought and sold like cattle, backed by a government system that enabled and enshrined this chattel treatment. I'm not sure what you mean by...

Considering that Brahne is XVI and Garnet is XVII, I think the implication is that the Queen is the reigning monarch. Circumstantially, the female knights led by Beatrix are superior to the Knights of Pluto, so that would also suggest that Alexandria is matriarchal.

In the US, there was never a government-sanctioned system of white slavery, which was in turn the primary reason that white Americans remain socioeconomically disadvantaged. We never fought a war (arguably two; one political and one cultural) over white slavery. Black Americans experienced the...
