What is rich?
Rich I believe is a relative term. What do people here consider rich?

I thought Putin33 deriding George HW Bush for invading Panama while supporting an internecine regime such as North Korea's was pretty rich.

Rich as said is a relative term. Most associate it with wealth but I think a rich person is a person who does have a bit more wealth than most. A rich person usually leads a successful happy life usually with family. I think a rich person needs to be all of those qualities; happy, wealthy and successful
Lot's of friends, the good opinion of the people around you.

In terms of money, I'd say that people who have a lot of it should be considered rich.
It's kind of a tricky question. It all depends on what you do with your money. If you have all your bills paid, no debt , and 100K in the bank you're doing pretty well.

$100,000

$10,000,000
$100,000,000

Ok mr. School teacher answer the question though. You would not let your students skirt the issue. What is the number?
Draugnar (0 DX)
13 Feb 14 UTC
In the bank? Yearly earnings? There are many measures even involving wealth. I make 100K a year. Some consider that to be "wealthy." Others consider to be just upper middle class.
ssorenn (0 DX)
13 Feb 14 UTC
Everyone has a number in their head, that if they could amass that wealth they would consider themselves rich. What's that #?
Vallk (904 D)
13 Feb 14 UTC
An annual income exceeding $300,000 seems to fit the bill for me. I couldn't say for certain, though, as I can't really compare it to anything, as I don't know what my friends finances look like for certain.
Vallk (904 D)
13 Feb 14 UTC
I'll amend that to $200,000- $300,000, actually
ssorenn (0 DX)
13 Feb 14 UTC
Is that gross or net income
Draugnar (0 DX)
13 Feb 14 UTC
You should assume that as gross, not net.
ssorenn (0 DX)
13 Feb 14 UTC
Alright I'll start the ball rolling

I believe that net worth of $20,000,000+ is considered rich
Vallk (904 D)
13 Feb 14 UTC
That would be gross income, yes.
Draugnar (0 DX)
13 Feb 14 UTC
If someone netted 150k, they'd be grossing over 200k. I net less than 75k off a 100k salary. That's why I supplement my income with private work and poker.

Christ, net worth of 20 million is more than just rich. I'd start at net worth around 5 million, but net worth is tricky as well. There are/were many rich people who, if they liquidated and paid their debts might break even or even show a loss. Michael Jackson comes to mind.

@ssorenn - Poker is not this site. I'm quite good at it and typically make $500-$1000 every month. Last year, I added 8K to my take home playing two Friday nights per month.

Minus debt. People who are leveraged up a usually not rich.

I'm not asking what people have I want to know what the dream number is

Poker is a game of hiding emotions. Diplomacy is a game of using them to your advantage, be they yours or your opponents. What you see here is the antithesis of poker.

Country Randomizer
I have been playing here for some time, and I'm a little upset with the way the randomizer works. I have started in 25 games and have not once been chosen to play as Turkey. I have been Turkey once when I joined midgame. I would like to play a game from start to finish as Turkey, but it has yet to happen. Can somebody explain how the algorithms work exactly and why I have yet to be Turkey yet have been Russia now 6 times.

Draug did NOT get addicted.

France was an *idiot*. I brought two fleets down to help him hold the line and he instead decided to take my SCs. Then, when the line was held again, he attacks my fleet and pops it leaving one fewer defenders on the line that was our eventual downfall. Roka, you are a fool!
