I think the point of the regulation is that the militia has to make an effort to stand out from and differentiate themselves from the civilians. For example, wearing one of the following: ammo belt, tactical vest, camo jacket, camo pants, ski mask, etc

They don't all have to wear the same colors or have the same equipment, but they have to have something that makes them stand out as combatants. Wearing jeans, t-shirt, tennis shoes and a bandana doesn't qualify IMO.

Not every group can be expected to get decent uniforms. It only needs to be apparent that they are enemies. A custom-colored Knightmare and gun-toting civilians with a unique motif loosely fits the bill.

I just finished watching the entirety of Code Geass. Where would be the appropriate topic to discuss my feelings about it? It's not quite a review, as it won't be too comprehensive.

The Code Geass R2 - Overall Series Impressions & Total Series Rating thread would be appropriate.

Got it, thanks.

Thinking in the terrorist perspective, it would be a lot better to dress like a civilian. It would be better camouflage, they could blend in with civilians. Wearing a tactical vest..or ski mask is just too obvious, I'm sure terrorists want to get shot as little as possible.

which is why its a WAR CRIME to do so
if you're a fighter, then its not legal to pretend you're a civilian
because that way, you only end up putting civilians at risk by pretending to be one of them

Hence the reason most people do not like terrorists.

Let's talk about... Clovis!
Doesn't he have the most awesome hair?

Echem. xD
On an even more random note, I wonder what happened to that dog Euphie had around in Stage 0.884. Maybe it met Arthur, and now they are preparing to bite Zero together?
Yes, definitely!

It doesn't compare to Lelouch's new GAR hat

Epic win.

azul120 · 2010-03-06, 23:36

You would have needed to listen to one of the early sound dramas, which was a flashback to around 2014 a. t. b., when Clovis talked with Cornelia and Euphie about wanting to govern Area 11 in memory of Lelouch and Nunnally. Cornelia said that she and Schneizel thought of him as too kind for the job. Clovis also discussed nearly beating Lelouch at chess, and trying to convince Cornelia that Lelouch was being serious during that particular game.

Clovis is pretty much another one of those What Could Have Been cases.

I always that that Clovis was killed for no reason. Nothing really came out of it, other than the first big stunt at rescuing Suzaku, which gets him televised. But it could have really been anyone's funeral.

Clovis was killed to make Zero into a credible threat. If you're trying to send a message, offing the guy in charge and getting away with it will do the trick.

azul120 · 2010-03-07, 00:01

What if he was just heavily injured or left for dead?

That would make the assassin look either incompetent or soft.

Not really, nobody really had proof he killed Clovis. He showed up and just stated it, and the people believed him. True, getting away with killing someone of his stature would get him known.

Agreed.

Rising Dragon · 2010-03-07, 01:01

With the way he presented it, he didn't need credible proof. Unlike any other organization, he did not reveal the information from the safety of his hidden base. No, he was right there, in the line of fire from Britannian soldiers, claiming that yes, he did it. He had the audacity to tell Britannia face to face that yeah, he killed their Viceroy prince. When someone has the balls to make a claim like that, its kind of hard not to think that he did it.

NinjaYali · 2010-03-07, 04:54

Have you guys heard of this thing called Code Geass: Knight 'For Girls'

Guess the girls want this instead of this...

Spoiler for Code Geass as it is:

They said that this show in the past was yaoibait and now it looks like it's official. What next? Official harem version of this show? Yuri school show version?

Nogitsune · 2010-03-07, 06:34

Well, I don't think Lelouch needed to kill Clovis - as he's Lelouch, he could easily have gone for some other great stunt.
However, he really didn't like his family, and he was kind of on a power-trip there. Just look at his face.

Besides, the scene was pretty epic. Although I'd have loved to see Leluch going, "forget I was ever here", or something else, and then realizing his Geass only works once on a person. I mean... come on!

*nods her head happily*
That, and there were quite a few hints in the anime - the paintings (that of Lelouch and Nunnally in particular), and the copy of Aries' Imperial Villa on top of the government building, the place where Clovis "always used to argue with Lelouch",... ah, always liked him. Besides, he has awesome hair!

By the way, when Clovis tells Cornelia Lelouch was serious, he says, "He would never do that (-> go easy on him). I... know that very well."
Did I mention I love the tragic irony?

Edit:
Oh, and yay for that manga-thingy above. Now I'm curious. xD

Revolutionist · 2010-03-07, 14:35

So perhaps Clovis needed to die, but what about Euphie? What's the excuse there?

She didn't need to be sacrificed at all. Unlike Clovis who was massacring elevens out of his own free will Euphie did so because of Lelouch himself. Killing her was just a giant douche move on his part.
There were definitely other options there. He could capture her and then give her to Cornelia so she'd be safe, and he could also take his fricking mask off while he was at it because getting Euphie to murder elevens should have been a sign he'd gone too far.
