If anyone was as disappointed as I was about EA's botched Simcity job, you may be interested to know there is a indie game in the works that looks very promising. More info here:

Anyone plays them? I´ve got Rome (with Extended Realism mod), Empire and Napoleon.

Do you like them? Why? Which one? Discuss. Also, if anyone´s interested in a multiplayer campaign say so.

I'm thinking of setting up a diplomacy players poker tournament. The idea is that we all 'donate' our buy in to Kestas and then he redistributes the cash based on the result of the poker challenge. We will then play a tournament online. I haven't spoken to Kestas until I know we have enough interest.

I've debated this with friends before, but I'll raise the question here--generally (for US Lit, anyway) colleges split it into 2 core classes (often Pre and Post-Reconstruction), with mostly white, male authors and a bit of representation from others, and justify it by saying "Hey, you can go take the African-American Lit class and read Langston Hughes THERE." Why not have 3 US Lit classes, teach everyone, and INTEGRATE Minorities, make it just US Lit all-around?

When I hear the ramblings of some people on this forum, it occurs to me that we could add something that, I think, wouldn't be very difficult and, at the same time, be very useful. In short, we need a -1 option. That way, some of the lunatics could really see how we feel about them. Then maybe, once you hit a predetermined number, -10 or -100 or whatever, you are temporarily banned from posting your bullshit.

For a quite silly class assignment in my 100 level environmental science class I need to find an advertisement or news story that misuses scientific concepts or misuses statistics. I've been searching but thought that maybe someone here has an example that they already know about and would be willing to pass along to me.

So, today the British government has announced £millions worth of support for the rebels in Syria, including military equipment such as vehicles and body armour (but not arms). What does the forum think of this decision? Good idea? Bad idea? Justified or illegal intervention?

Seriously, what the actual fuck.

There is a definitional difference, but is there a difference in the whole between concentration and internment camps? Internment camps treat people more humanely, but is the punishment the same? Is the end result the same - in other words, is a loss of dignity and chattel equally present in both?

I'm a little drunk, but hear me out.

An obsceniy or not? No wonder the video has millions of hits. ''All we need to do is wake up and realise that the reality in this country (world) is not at all what we think it is.''

The very subject I have been thinking about for a little while now...... could the world be a safer happy place if we replaced men in senior positions with women

After being one of the few people to oppose Rand Paul's filibuster, I would like to say that Lindsay Graham is done. In South Carolina, Republicans favor "Someone more Conservative" than Graham by 25 . So we will be finally rid of this NBC-loving Snake in the Grass.

so between the far northern aboriginal diet and the hip new banana diet, which will result in faster death?
people who lived in the far north would just eat raw fish with nothing else. cool kids today are eating basically bananas with little else. which of the two is better? that far-north diet lasted for thousands of years so it has kind of been tested. i am not sure if any culture has ever survived on pretty much all fruit, so i am thinking the all meat diet is probably healthier.

I've had a 750ml bottle of Three Philosophers AND my daughter asked me to help her with her argumentative writing paper.

People DO NOT let me say it again DO not join a game and then say you can't play at the begging. If you can't dont join!!! Once again join games you know your going to be able to finish... Thanks

French naval and amhibious forces have launched an invasion of the UK. What shall we do?

Well...congratulations Gen Lee. You played a great game.

As for ukulelemike...I can't understand how you could just give that game away. And you did give that game away. Actively.

Thanks! (and my apologies if it isn't proper protocol to post a thread saying this)

I'm a little drunk and dyslexic, but here me out. I am very socially awkward, but I was wondering if it's okay to get some sex under the pretense that I will ask a girl to marry me in front of my boyfriend. If you have a gf who is willing to do this, please post it here. I know it's not Craiglist or anything, but there are a lot of weirdos on this site.

I'm thinking a 2 and a 3 of different colours with a small group and a pair of 2's in a big group... How about you guys?

I'm thinking of setting up a diplomacy players ivory tournament. The idea is that we all 'donate' our dead elephants to kestas and then he redistributes the cash based on the result of a cockfight tournament. I haven't spoken to kestas until I know we have enough interest.

Who else is a fan?

what evidence do people have that the elites intentionally crashed the market for fun and profit. i have a couple points but maybe you people have more.

Apologies if this have been covered elsewhere, but how do we unpause a game that have been paused?

Thanks for setting it up Tom, and well played all of you (except Dharm, I guess). I'll write something up later.

Does anyone has some sort of rules they live by, like the Ten Commandments? Semper Fidelis? Carpe Diem? Anything you live by?

An important one for me would be: Sometimes you're wrong.
I'm thinking of making a list for myself so I know what I want if it ever gets to a rash decision of big importance or something...
