I will admit my numbers may be wrong, all I can tell you definitively is that Mao's kill list is larger than Stalin's.
I find it very disturbing and depressing that you trivialise such horrors and terrible occurrences, turning it into a competition to see whose "kill list" is bigger and better.

Its all fun and games when speaking about a game, but when you start joking about actual genocide you go to far. Show some goddamn respect.

If you want to compare yourself to a communist dictator, use Mao Zedong/Tse-Tsung/howeveryouspellit. Stalin killed about 2 million of his own people, Mao killed about 4 million. Mao was the communist leader of China after WWII.

If you include starvation, which, lets face it, requires a 1 square room, bed, and door, Stalin could be said to have killed ~20 million. Evidenced by the fact the USSR's FPS boomed. 2.6 to 10 million in the Ukraine alone, which isn't famous for it's soap making.

This is what I meant when I said Stalin killed more people. So much focus on becoming a military power, no focus on making food.

Sadly, that sounds a lot like an average fortress in this game...

Who's trivializing? The way I see it, we're comparing death tolls to figure out who the biggest murderer on the face of the planet is/was.

But if someone is joking about mass death and I'm just not seeing it, well, fuck them for being bastards.

I realize fully the atrocities that I describe should not be trivialized, and the loss of 20 million human lives is no laughing matter. I meant no disrespect, I'm just saying what I know.

Man this is great, I just wish the next version was out so I could compare my continual sending of troops out to kill the elves to the Crusades. Man they really knew how to make war back then.

So it seems I accidentally put my canteen in my wheelbarrow and didn't notice... and then I got really thirsty... so right before going to sleep I go to take a swig from my canteen and... end up snorting a line of low-grade meth.

This deserves a huge fucking facepalm in context with the previous posts.

Pretty good summation of the thread, which by the way is hilarious.

I kinda just look at people talking about killing whole forts in this thread then I go and look at the adventure forum where they have topics on killing the whole worlds sentient population and I laugh a little.

Yeah, I think we'll just stay Stalin here and they can have the Mao-class.

Also, for some weird reason I can not seem to upload my fort...

Yeah, Fortress Mode fits Stalin and Adventurer Mode fits Mao.

It depends on who is dying: your own people, or everyone else?
