The rules here are simple: Someone posts a good idea, then someone else posts a bad idea. The catch? The bad idea must be a messed-up, corrupted version of the good idea.
For Example:
Good Idea: getting a front-row seat at a boxing match
Bad Idea: Getting an in-ring seat at a boxing match.
Have fun!
Bad Idea: purging the clean.
Good Idea: just bombarding the alien planets and getting it over with rather than wasting the lives of space marines.
Bad Idea: bombarding a planet with LOTS of valuable materials. Also, bombarding a planet YOU own that has been invaded.
Good Idea: Death From Above.
Bad Idea: that isn't your fighter craft above!
Good Idea: needs more cowbell.
Bad Idea: posting Star Trek *RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE*
Good Idea: Warhammer 40,000. Yeah, we may have tanks that belong in the 1st World War. But we can tell physics to screw off anytime we want, and have it really happen.
Bad Idea: using weapons from the Punic War to fight alien hoards.
Good Idea: using weapons from the second world war, specifically the one first tested at Trinity NM in 1945, against the alien hoard.
Bad Idea: using WWII era weaponry to fight aliens
Good Idea: using weapons that completely ignore the laws of physics to fight said aliens.
Bad Idea: using weapons which don't work against a threat which can easily kill by brute force alone.
Good Idea: neutron bombs.
Bad Idea: using C4 as a missile warhead in SPAAACE!
Good Idea: kinetic rounds with bursting charges. IN SPAAACE!
Bad Idea: kinetic rounds traveling with zero relative velocity with respect to the target vessel. In space!
Good Idea: incorporating the idea of a capital ship carrier which can instantly transport to any explored gravity well (as per the book Star Strike by Ian Douglas) into SoaSE. Along with having Marine Boarding Craft capable of hijacking enemy ships and orbital platforms.
Bad Idea: trying your Good Idea. Mostly because I've tried to do anywhere-to-anywhere jump drives, and they failed spectacularly.
Good Idea: FIGHTING MEN OF THE DRAGOONS, CHAAAARGE!!
2nd Bad Idea: playing paintball, with only a T-shirt, shorts, and eye-protection.
2nd Good Idea: CHAAARGE!!
Bad idea: having sex with the guy who posted above me
Good Idea: using thermite and a blowtorch to grill my steak
Bad Idea: necro'ing a thread.
Bad Idea: posting ideas that have to do with sexual relations. It's in very poor taste.
Bad Idea: using thermite, in any way, shape, or form, on food.
Good Idea: can't think of one ATM.
Bad Idea: not thinking and forgetting the condom in your back pocket... which is probably how most of us were born anyway, so go right ahead. 
Good Idea: Karma to the Forum King!

BAD IDEA: talking about condoms. Really now, are we that crude?
GOOD IDEA: XER07 MUST POST IN THE REAL CHATROOM THREAD NAO.
Bad Idea: The one Morpheas made? Eh, I'll check it out.
Good Idea: Talking about condoms. European teenagers have 3x as much sex as Americans, but have 1/2 the rate of pregnancy. The cause? Condoms.
Xer0 \^/
Bad Idea: premarital sex. Seriously, abstinence is the only 100% effective method of birth control.
Good Idea: LAZ0RS!!!
Thanks for telling me that premarital sex was a bad idea, Whiskey. Glad to know we're on the same page. 
Bad Idea: Not watching the Lazer Collection.
Good Idea: Watching the Lazer Collection.
Xer0 \^/
Bad Idea: Star Trek ethics. Seriously, the Prime Directive is so immoral that it's mind-bogglingly stupid how they obey it.
Good Idea: intervention in MAD scenarios between lesser powers. Prevention of said MAD is morally right, contrary to what Gene Rodenberry and his ST:The Next Generation series would have us believe.
Bad Idea: Um, wut?
Good Idea: Buying Until We Have Faces by R3D, which comes out Feb. 1st
Xer0 \^/
Darth Vader and Jesus. Search for the demotivationals.
Bad idea: using multiple forums with the same attitude.
Bad Idea: it's a hangup I've gotten with Star Trek. The mind-bogglingly stupid things the writers (and Gene Rodenberry) have that they put into the later ST series (i.e., past the days of Kirk), is, well, mind-boggling.
Good Idea: no. I will not buy that album. I am more interested in other things. And have never heard of 'R3D'.
Okay, I'll just point out that Darth Vader is a fictional character, and probably was explained away using 'midichlorian' technobabble, while Jesus was a case of divine intervention.
And midichlorians aren't real, and God only did the whole divine conception thing once. He's not going to do that again.
Good Idea: Buying that album. Seriously.
Bad Idea: Ever notice that "God" needed machines to move around the earth? 
Xer0 \^/
Good Idea: Machines to move around the earth.
Bad Idea: Assuming God needs anything from earth.... 
Bad Idea: Machines ruling the earth.
Good Idea: Ever notice that virtually EVERY religion has their god(s) moving to/from the stars in some sort of vehicle?
Xer0 \^/
Bad Idea: buying the album.
On a side note, God doesn't, and never will need anything to move around anywhere. He's omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent.
He needs to move around why?
Machines to move around the Earth, I agree.
God doesn't need anything from Earth; He wants something from it, namely, the salvation of humanity.
Machines ruling Earth: BAD.
Catholicism doesn't, Protestantism doesn't. I don't think that virtually every religion has that. I know that the God of the Bible doesn't.
He can walk around, but He doesn't need to.
Good Idea: genetic&bioengineering, cybernetic enhancement, and brain-computer neural interfaces.
It's a WIN-WIN.
