Greece only has 3 SC and is not in a particularly strong position but it is in a very important with an opportunity to expand with some well composed press and alliances formed.

Can We Get Rid of Black Friday?
The latest viral video is a brawl between shoppers. The latest "news" is that Black Friday sales are down… wonder why, you created Cyber Monday. And people don't want to get in brawls while shopping for Christmas.

I've learned a few things. Not many, of course. I'm sure a bunch of you would back that up. For example, I can't spell kat. Catt. My dog just burped and I lost my train of thought. Cat.

Here's a Controversial Thread for You
So let's play a word game, shall we? It's a very simple game. I type a sentence, you post with your word or phrase that you think fits best. You can go to any extreme you like that doesn't make me want to punch you in the face. If "krellin-like" is your best answer, go for it. It'd probably be mine too.

Here's the question: How _______ does a nation have to be to try and execute people for creating a video across the world that didn't even make theaters?

It's like in football people spend more time commenting on the referee than what happened in the match.

They try and humiliate McBride by forcing him to tell people he played with his brother, then get the forum excited, then they start threatening to punish people who post comments, it looks like they are creating their own feeding frenzy here, which is very entertaining.
However as they top up their testosterone to dangerous levels people are being victimised, poor old Santa & Krellin now silenced for 24 hours. Is that justice?
How about the Mods shut up for 24 hours and give the site back to the people who make it what it is, the Players.
They chose to be Mods, nobody forced them to do it, why don't they just take a chill pill and think before they start dishing out punishments like confetti at a gypsy wedding.

These guys may be silenced but if we all light a candle they will not be forgotten. Join me brothers (and sister) to fight the oppressors, our forefathers defeated the Nazis, now we have a new enemy in our midst, over eager forum moderators.

I think Nigee is kinda funny, but yeah, the mods here are far far far from overeager. Never seen a moderator laugh off the kind of shit these guys just chuckle over.

Also, abgemacht is an asshat fucktard, and Zultar likes little boys.

Of course I'm joking. In the real world there are millions starving in Africa, people get raped and tortured, there is war and hatred and suffering, etc, etc.
When I'm on this site it's escapism from the harsh realities of the world, I'm having fun. I don't feel the need to judge you on what you post and I'm pretty relaxed about you passing judgement on mine because I know it's not real, it's a forum on a gaming website. Hope that clears up any confusion as I would be mortified if I thought people were taking anything I say seriously. I enjoy being on here with you geeks and weirdos, in fact I think I'm starting to feel quite at home in this company.
@dub - the use of WebDip funds for mod vacations in Dubai is classified information. I'm not sure how you acquired it, but a full investigation is being undertaken since the same files also contained our improved version of Stuxnet and the nuclear launch codes to a "missing" Russian missile.

Playdip do excel themselves in terms of doing what we do in a far more evil and incompetent manner. Going there is like being in one of those alternate universe Star Trek episodes. I dread to think what the playdip version of Nigee is like.

First of all, the thing that's fun about James Bond is that you don't know an awful lot about him. He is a very mysterious figure with a complicated childhood, and Daniel Craig got all sorts of emotional characteristics, a mum and dad, that are great for a regular police story, but not for a spy story. The desire to know more about this mysterious womanizer was much more interesting to play on than the actual satisfaction of that desire.

Then, the characters. Take Kincaid and the house he's watching. That's just a horrible copy of Hagrid from Harry Potter with the cheap intention to draw young families to the cinema. Then there's the new Q and the Villain, both of them modeled on Batman characters (the psychiatrist and the Joker respectively) to attract high school and University students.

Also, Bond drinks like a templar, but never gets drunk. Not even a little bit. "Shaken not stirred" is actually a Martini that sounds very exciting, but the reason you'd shake a Martini is that you mix your drink with as much cold water as possible to dilute the alcohol. It was a trick for Bond to drink and stay sober and alert.

So they really missed the essentials of what a good James Bond movie should be IMHO. :(

See I think they gave hints, but never explained his childhood. I actually did look uo on wikipedia and in the books they do give more back ground. I don't feel they gave to much away though, just a whit of info to keep those curious happy.

Most homes that size would have a games/grounds keeper. That's actually pretty normal historically. Now if he looked like Hagrid is more playing on the stereotype of wild Scotsman I think.I disagree with Q and Silva being Batman villains. Bond is known for having iconic villains... and Silva was done excellently. Also only someone on the inside could know how to get to M in quite that way. And not sure how you saw Q as a villain.. I thought Mallory was more of one.

I don't think Bond ever got drunk the entire movie. If he did at all then it was only in the beginning when it really wouldn't of mattered. I think Bond played up that he was and played up he was more hurt then he was at times to be under estimated. I do think this movie went back to some of the things from the books more then other movies have (he's known to drink an obscene amount and just pills in the books).

Sorry you didn't enjoy it, but I personally loved it.
I agree with redhouse. I came out of that movie a bit disappointed. I caught the Batman references pretty easily, but the Hagrid one I missed (though in retrospect it seems pretty clear now).

It was a good movie, but not a good *bond* movie

Can Russia Spawn Two Fleets in St. Petersburg at the same time on each coast?
So I was playing as russia and during the build phase it allowed me to build two units in St. Petersburg, one fleet on the north coast and one fleet on the south coast. It allowed me to press "ready" but I didn't because I wasn't sure if it would cancel my build or something. can someone please shed some light on this? Thanks!

My apologies to the community
“You can't make alliances for reasons outside a game, such as because you are friends, relatives or in return for a favour in another game. This is known as metagaming and is against the rules because it gives an unfair advantage to those involved. If you are worried that you can't stab someone because you want to stay friends, then that's fair enough but you can't join a game with them.”
