You're missing the point here all the same, if you called your army, the "DoomsDay Army", you would give the impression that they are going to commit acts of evil, which is why if member alliances of DoomHouse wish to claim they aren't evil, why call the bloc, DoomHouse?

Again, bad analogy.[/quote] Killing people isn't necessarily evil. There's this critically important thing you need to factor in when looking at conflict and it's called 'context'. Is deposing a dictator that kills tens of thousands of innocents a day an evil act?

[/quote] Why would the army that deposed the above mentioned hypothetical dictator be called the 69th Fighting Dragon Child Eaters? Intimidation, sure. Is intimidation evil if it's used to keep you safe? Nature doesn't seem to think so going by the creatures it created. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there is a popular show called House.

Letum Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Doomhouse finds the whole "destruction" theme rather fun, which is reflected in their choices of titles (Everything. Must. Die.) their various grandiose announcements, their dedication to national interest to the expense of whomever gets in the way, and their overbearing attitude towards those under their mercy.

Sardonic Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Nice thread pause not. Doomhouse isn't even so much a bloc as a three way treaty, 'bloc' implies it has intent to grow. PB is the bloc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
