Not a whole galaxy. No wait...he DID. And what did they do? The made him a GOD! Somehow I think that that is the first thing people can do is call him a god. It's the only way to explain his awesomess.

**VictorVonTzeentch**

What?

**Emperors Faithful**

People don't learn. What do you think they are going to do? Say he's a man or call him Jeebus?

**VictorVonTzeentch**

You can teach a man how to fix a machine.

**Emperors Faithful**

All Sept-Tillion of them?

I'm sure the Emprah intended to do that AFTER he re-united mankind. It's just he NEEDED the weapons thne and there.

**VictorVonTzeentch**

He didn't need to teach everyone on his own, you train someone they train someone else.

The war could have gone alot smoother had individual planets been able to produce their own materials and had the knowledge to do so. That way Plasma wouldn't be as rare as it is because if one planet that has the info gets destroyed there is always another.

**Emperors Faithful**

1) Only the Emprah could tell the Mechanicum that and not INSTANTLY get clobbered to death.

2) I think you are pretty optimistic, yet I think that perhaps the Emprah had LEARNT from the mistakes of the Dark Age of Technology? And that humanity needed proper respect for the tech theyb were dealing with?

(otherwise you get the Iron Men situation all over again)

**VictorVonTzeentch**

lol at being called optimistic, it goes against my nature, unless I'm being optimistically pessimistic.

Well then the Emprah can beat the Mechanicum over the head, teach them to use technology better and then have them teach others.

Humanity has no respect for tech currently, they fear it and don't understand it. Humanity should have been taught how to work tech and then told what they can't do because of what has happened before. Sure know one would listen but still...

**Emperors Faithful**

He would have a full scale revolt on his hands. And the enemies would be the ones with the tech. He would have loyal dudes with some common sense and pointy sticks. Even the Emprah can't piss off half of humanity.

Also, I don't think you understand just how BAD humanities UTTER dependence was during the Dark Age of Technology. It led STRAIGHT to their fall. If not for the Emprah they would not have recovered. The emperor was perhaps wise enought to realise that a certain amount of fear was healthy.

**VictorVonTzeentch**

So by certain ammount of fear, you mean utter and complete fear and ignorance when it comes to machines?

The DAT wasn't the cause of our fall, the Warpstorms were. I almost think the Empra entered a deal with Chaos to make alot of the storms happened. Not all of them could have been a result of the EoT.

**1hadhq**

Isn't a concept of fear more beneficial for the adeptus mechanicus?
Most worlds would not accept some claims of the ad mech if they know how "common" tech was and could be again.

The "magic" is part of the iron grasp the mechanicum holds on tech.
Less " magic" would reduce the ad mechs power, move the balance again.
Last time Mars thougth beeing the junior partner, things went bad.

**Manchu**

Visions of Heresy describes the Emperor as "marrying" the empires of Terra and Mars. Clearly, technology is one of the most dangerous weak points 40k Humanity has and, ironically, this weak point only becomes more vulnerable as the tech-level rises. The decentralization of this resources seems like a pretty brilliant move to me.

I would just like to lobby everyone to start using the abbreviation BGC (Big Gold Chair) for the Emperor. I cannot take credit for this one, despite liking it a lot, because that card Orkeosaurus made it up. If enough people take a liking to it, it can become an official Dakka abbreviation.

**HellsGuardian316**

Codex's and the rulebooks of old mention that the Marines think of him as either a great man, or the father of their order. Whilst Imperial citizens are born with the propaganda that he is the Immortal God Emporer, wether he was alive before 0BC is unconfirmed, but it seems that the only reason he is still alive is due to the sacrifice everyday of a thousand pyskers.

I second that motion.
I also support the abrevviations:
-BD (Black dudes, Salamanders)
-FF (Freaky Fantasy)
-VM (Vanilla Marines)
-SP (Spehz Puppehz)

I would also lobby for an Orkmoticons waving a big middle finger. I guess this

is as close as we can get for now.

all shall prasie him for he is our saviour. We shall serve him as he serves us. none shall doubt him or face our holy retribution

**Emperors Faithful**

QFT

**VictorVonTzeentch**

You realize you didn't quote him right?

**Emperors Faithful**

He's right above me BrotherStynier. I think that quoteing him would be a moot point. HE'S RIGHT ABOVE ME!

**VictorVonTzeentch**

But then its not Quoted For Truth.

QFT.

...happy now?

**VictorVonTzeentch**

Yes, and I was just giving you a hard time EF.

**Emperors Faithful**

...*I hate you!*...
Nah, you're right. In a TFG/pedantic/technichal way. I'll be sure to Quote while I QFT in the future.
*tip hat*

**VictorVonTzeentch**

TFG, my good sir that is a low blow.

Like I said my friend I was just giving your a hard time, after all you are a lackey of the Emperor...

**Emperors Faithful**

Just joking...*heretic!*...

**VictorVonTzeentch**

It seems most people agree with you and Manchu in this thread.

**Emperors Faithful**

AS IT SHOULD BE!

**VictorVonTzeentch**

Blast Foiled again!

**lordrevege**

Burn ye herectis.

**Beastmaster**

The emprah saved us all! He is the immortal ruler of humanity! Most of all, dont screw with him! Even if is kinda a sorta dead person...
