Cale Darksun Aurin_Starkiller Cale Darksun Mandalorians are as creative as the Roman Empire. They borrow everyone else's ideas and only show real nvention when they have to kill some one. That method did have them ruling much of the known world for quite a while...Only because the Rulers of Carthage were incapable of putting any effort behind a real war, much to Hannibal Barca's perpetual annoyance.
They nearly conquered Rome early in its history, and would have done so had it not been for the brutal passage through the Alps. I've walked on that harsh terrain, I can't imagine trying to lead an army over it...

Nelowulf Cale Darksun You've been on a real Anti-Mando rant lately, Nelo. Did some big mean bucket head steal your lunch money? Ah dunno. I guess maybe it's because since the whole 'echani' thing, I've been really starting to question their intelligence... And it's not necessarily that they are stupid all the time, but there seems to be quite a few hypocritical marks about their entire culture. And that's what's bothering me. Mandos are supposed to be a simple lifestyle, and yet they seem to break their own rules at whim here and there. I'll get off of it later, but it just seems that maybe what I expected out of them and what the general community seems to make them out to be are rather different. With jedi and sith, you know what's ideal, and what's not. I guess i'm starting to ask what the hell is an ideal mando. And the only one I've found is Boba. all the rest are somewhat lacking in their own rights. *shrug* I mean, I used to think they were kind of something that was quick, dirty, and got the job done efficiently, like a navy seal or marine. Now looking at it, for some odd reason, that image isn't true anymore. I keep seeing them as merely things like the Juggernaut, just plow things with a strong enough fist and you're bound to win, like some dope in a tank... and that kind of kills it for me. Boba was smart, clever. But I can't see him beating his chest or acting like some football linebacker... It's kind of insulting to me, and i'm not even calling myself one... And the worst part is I know there are more brains there. Plus, right now, they aren't even scary. I've found myself laughing at mandos. And that should NEVER happen. But I am... And its annoying to no end... No one will ever live up to Boba. But some already have. Boba abandoned his family. He left his people to lead themselves, and only cared about himself. Gorin Bevin was a much better Mandalorian than Boba. But yet, Boba was a better Mandalorian than Bevin.
What I'm saying is, every Mando and every person is different. None of us are perfect though some are great. Mandalorians are painted up to be something that we're not. Over-romanticized.
