How to play Russia in Gunboat
Title. I suck at Russia in gunboat. I have no clue what high level strategy I should be going for. I just always die after accomplishing virtually nothing.

Rhyme Time II
I'm looking for a few good word magicians. Give me your nobles, your humble and fancy patricians. I need 7 players to commit to a time; to play an unranked press game whose objective is rhyme.

Lizard People Control Trump!!!!!
CNN has just reported that some people saw lizard people talking to Trump in the White House today. This confirms that we Americans are oppressed and should go riot somewhere. Maybe crash a few windows and raid while we are at it.

Hitler was more efficient than Trump in removing opposition when he came to power. Hitler had my maternal grandfather "retire" as the last Jewish German Supreme Court Justice after Hitler took over. Whereas Trump just criticizes the judges one at a time.
fiedler (1293 D)

Plus there was that whole night of the long knives thing. Maybe Trump doesn't really compare to Hitler at all.

Its a single missing comma Brad. Chill. All you need to have it make sense is a comma after does. Although it could be improved as a sentence in other ways

He's heard enough holocaust survivors say that he does (compare to Hitler), to be pretty sure that "He doesn't compare to Hitler at all" is not (an) accurate (statement).
TrPrado (461 D)

He doesn't compare to hitler at all. those who think he does are hysterical ninny's, or smoking some of that green tobacco. to compare trump to hitler dismisses the evil that he was and the chaos he brought.
TrPrado (461 D)
07 Feb 17 UTC
Actually I think if he takes out the "that" it'd make a lot more sense.
damian (675 D)
07 Feb 17 UTC
Comparing him to Hitler makes sense in that the were both dangerously unstable demagogues. Who rose to power in similar waves, and his initial actions are not altogether different from Hitlers early actions. Nobody sensible saying he's done anything as bad as Hitler, yet. Just that to date there is the risk of it continuing to develop in a similar direction

CAPT Brad: The article is written by a Hitler biographer who clearly agonized and second-guessed himself before publishing the piece. These aren't hysterics; normalization of Trump's agenda and antics is extremely troubling.

CAPT Brad (40 DX)
07 Feb 17 UTC
extremely troubling yes but not to the level of Nazi Germany unless you believe that our military would do the same things as the Nazis. We in the military took our oath to protect and defend the Constitution. the wehrmacht took their oath to hitler. so exaggeration is not justified
No one says it's a 1 to 1 comparison, you are building straw men,
fiedler (1293 D)

"No one says it's a 1 to 1 comparison"

then why constantly be making the comparison?

Hurr durr Trump is Hitler is fucking nonsense. Same old propaganda that's been used for the last 60 years to beat down anyone who tries to stand up for the middle class of western nations.
JECE (1248 D)

CAPT Brad: You should read the article. Just because somebody writes a comparative paper doesn't mean that they are writing an equation.

CAPT Brad: And you're dead wrong in thinking that U. S. servicemen are somehow exempt from the 'banality of evil'. When you get the chance you should watch an award-winning documentary called "Taxi to the Dark Side".

"Same old propaganda that's been used for the last 60 years to beat down anyone"

You could've ended the quote right about there.

Feature request: expand mod powers
I've noticed that a lot of people have been having issues with mod's decisions lately and I think the forum would be a better place if the mods/ admins had the powers to do more than just ban a user and if they were allowed to, for example, also kill the user's family. Implementing a "-1 and ban" feature underneath the +1 feature may also be funny to watch. Thank you and I hope you take my ideas into consideration.

Feature request: time clock location
It would be really nice to have the countdown clock right above the order menu. That way one wouldn't have to scroll up to see how many precious seconds are left (wasting precious seconds). Would be pretty useful toward the end of the 5-minute 1v1's in which there are a lot of orders to fill.
