We're good to go! But if someone is reading this and still wants to join, the setup can have exactly 4 more players. So sign up and I'll bully other people like Flash into joining for you so we still have the correct number.

Are we still aiming for a July 4th start? I'd recommend going on July 1st so that the 4th is the first bit of D2 instead of starting the whole thing off.

Ohhh so we have to bend to what Americans want? Have you considered that the first is Canada Day? :p

Stay home kids

America > Canada

Get rekt.

confirmed, 6th is better

Can you say that with a straight face, worcej? Literally look at your country lol it's a hot mess

I would far rather start of the 3rd or 4th. A weekend start is preferable to me... But if 6th is what works for most, so be it. I have a big exam on the 15th so I'm not sure if I should even play.

Monday starts are always better than weekend starts - even with the holiday where I buy ~$1000 worth of explosives and celebrate my freedom by drinking excessive amounts of alcohol with people I should be distancing from.

The Corona stops the Covid because Trump said so. Amurica.

All jokes aside, yes I can say in my opinion that USA is better than Canada. But that doesn't mean Canada doesn't beat us on some stuff.

You have us on healthcare for most individuals, don't get me wrong, but to get that advantage takes higher taxes which I am able to offset due to my health insurance through my employer (which lowers an individual payers cost because the company usually pays more due to group plans making insurance cheaper) and on an overall impact the fact my $ can do so much more world wide versus the Canadian currency.

In terms of 'hot mess' via political stuff - the USA's overall political system is screwed because being a politician is a career. Put term limits on Congressional representatives and our system would improve immensely.

Just my personal perspectives - I wouldn't leave the USA for any advantage Canada offers over me.

Also, confirmed.

That's good for you? Good luck getting your "democratic" system changed? Not sure why you needed to compare the countries to begin with. This is why people can't stand Americans.

Let's try to stick to mafia here.

TBF - you started this 'Canada vs US' thing

And to be clear: all I said was I preferred my own country for my own reasons - it wasn't a 'Canada sucks' speech, so if me saying I like my country leads to 'this is why people can't stand Americans', I guess I am sorry for responding to your question...?

Anyways...

My comment was just because I know the 4th is a holiday and a Saturday. My ignorance of the 1st being a Canadian holiday was only that I was ignorant of it.

In general, weekend starts seem to suck for webDiplo mafia games - attendance/activity always seems lower on weekends.

I will confirm. Start when ready.

Lol, never change webdip.

Also, brain literally made a thread about this in the politics section. People who want to comment should move there.

Just a minor point - it doesn't matter if it comes out of your left hand (taxes) or your right hand (personal or employer contributions). If you do a like for like comparison of costs (taxes + health care) countries like Australia or Canada both have lower overall costs.

Anyway, confirmed too.
