May GR Release Date?
Any news on when the ghost ratings will be released? I am sure to tumble in June's ratings, so I am looking forward to a brief celebration when May's ratings come out.

Local Elections: Does anyone really give a damn?
Ed Miliband clearly doesn't...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-27483541

With friends like Miliband, who needs enemies? But seriously, do local elections matter? And if they do how do we drum up public interest when even our politicians seem to treat them with contempt?

Social Justice issue
So I'm required to give a seminar about a social issue that is present in education. It's supposed to be something I am 'passionate' about... Just wondering what sort of social justice issues would you be passionate about?

Have you ever had the feeling that you threw too much away?
In a metaphorical sense, mostly. So if ended too much when you decided to make a change for example. Not much to add myself, just interested.

Missing yachtsmen - please help
Hey guys. My amazing friend Vicky needs our help. Her cousin (once removed) is one of these missing yachtsmen, and there's every chance they could still be found if there's a concerted effort by the relevant authorities to search for them. On behalf of the families, who are worried sick, please join me in signing this:

"Dr. Rove"--Making Doctors Phil and Who Look Legit By Comparison!
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/dr-rove-doubles-down-hillary-203900415.html Funny...I don't recall Republicans seeming too concerned about McCain's skin cancer and swollen gland while he was running against Obama in 2008. Then again, he was a man and a Republican, not a woman and a Democrat. Sexism, partisan politics, or just one more sign Karl Rove needs to have a little lie down? Why choose when you can have all three!

I think having roles revealed upon death makes things much less fun.

There should be a coroner role. If he's alive, roles are revealed upon death. Once he dies, though, no more role reveals.

Speaking of which, why don't we have the old classic colors (Eng - navy, France - light blue, Italy - green, Austria - blood red, Turkey - yellow, Russia white, Germany - black)? I can see how black might be hard to display but this would avoid the Austria/Germany/Russia muddle we have now.

Listen, kestas is a big boy, he can take care of himself. If he isn't happy with the arrangement he has with PayDip, he can deal with it. Ruining their site won't solve the problem and will just make us look like dicks. Let people find out on their own how shitty PayDip is and they will naturally migrate over.

Please do not replicate my post. I'm talking to one of their admins and it looks like they just mistakenly removed the credit to kestas. Plus my aim is that their members read that link on their own and come check us out. They won't do that if we're dicks about it.

I know. Ogion made it sound like the colorblindness issue includes Russia as well as Germany and Austria.

My version of the board game is from the early 80s and has a pink England and a purple Russia like we do here.

Austria: red
Turkey: yellow

France: light blue

Those are standard pretty much. I've USUALLY seen:
Russia: white or purple
Germany: black/gray

Interesting. So it's a generational thing. I started playing in the 70s

I don't think its colorblindness, but I find Germany and Russia virtually indistinguishable on the small map. Austria I don't have trouble with

So I can't remove the Gold Star I gave myself and I feel like an ass...
With that being said: We have a yet-unused badge that we can give to people and I think we should do something with it. As a community, I'd like us to pick a couple people that we think have significantly contributed to the site and ask kestas to award them a gold star. Is this something people are interested in? Let's use this thread to discuss the idea (or other ways of using the star), rather than discussion potential recipients.

50%+ of People >35 Years Old Know About Holocaust (Why the Jews Need Israel)
http://news.yahoo.com/holocaust-anti-semitism-global-study-154731933.html That is honestly a bit surprising to me...if for no other reason than the fact that WWII is so "popular" in different kinds of media that you'd think that number would be higher. And this is yet another reason, as atheistic as I am, I'll always maintain the Jews need Israel--those are dangerous numbers, and it's good to know the Jews have a state and army with which to defend themselves.
