Question: Is the Imperial Senate trying to stile voters?
In a recent gallup poll, surveys discovered voters are apathetic about the upcoming elections. "I dont think we ever imagined it would come down to Jar Jar or Emperor Palpatine as our only options".

Ohio State is a solid lock to get upset today
Vegas has them as +10 favorites vs Wisconsin in Madison. Ohio State hasnt played anyone worth a crap yet. I look for a low scoring game, Wisconsin wins 17-13.

Would anyone be interested in a Diplomacy Stream?
I recently got the version of Diplomacy published by Paradox Interactive (the studio that made Europa Universalis and similar games) working on my pc. I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in watching me stream a game or two vs the AI at some point (with commentary)?

Why no messages setting option?
Why is aviable the no messages setting? I think is against the essence of the game, that's diplomacy. Nevertheless this option is very common. I think Diplomacy without diplomacy is like basketball without basket (or ball if you prefer). What do you think about it?

Question of Electoral Ethics
For the district where I'm registered to vote, the US representative seat is only being sought by one person. By Oklahoma state statute, unopposed candidates don't even appear on the ballot, nor is there the opportunity to write-in a candidate. Do you think the name of unopposed candidates should be printed on the ballot?

What? A famous celebrity on social media got verbally abused?

It's a good thing the media is reporting this. I'd have no idea otherwise


But in all seriousness, I love Anerson Cooper, so yeah I think these people are awful.

On a second note, I really give zero shits. Neither should he. And @Brainbomb, try telling some poor black kid from the inner city that whenever he uses the word "nigger" he is doing something wrong. I personally don't use that word, because it has links to racism that i don't want to be associated with, and I'm in no way connected with a community that uses that in any good or casual sense.

However the word fag I don't have a problem saying, and I've been around it enough to have no problem with it. While it can be applied in hate, it still isn't in many cases. I repeat, the word "nigger" has a much harsher social context. Nonetheless I have no problem using it in intellectual discourse.

@Brainbomb,

The reason why we even HAVE curse words dates back to the Church, and other organized religions deeming words foul and unfit for language. The only thing making a word evil, is the way it is used, alongside the way it is perceived.

Just because some people don't use doesn't automatically deem it bad on some higher moral plane.

Secondly, you said to Krellin "no successful white male should use that word"

Successful. White and male. Shouldn't it ONLY be white? Why do poor males or women get to say it? Or is it easier to attack successful white males?

I listen to Beck daily and he has never been in favor of Trump. Also, if you listen to his show from today you will hear that he did not endorse or say he would vote for Clinton and he was quoted out of context. I'll post the link to his show when it goes up on youtube later.

@brainbomb: "Krellin, it is deplprable for a successful white male of any age to use that word. "


That's funny, because I hear the word used regularly in the media, movies, etc.

I think that wonderful, colorful, multi-faceted word is used rather frequently in our entertainment industry even by such wonderful liberal dudes at Quentin Tarantino.

So forgive me if I refuse to play your childish PC game.

the best way to DIS-empower the fake outrage over a auditory event is to stop pretending to be offended by it.

Otherwise, I'm going to suggest the rename the Cracker isle at my store, because every time I walk down it I get the sneaky suspicion that everyone walking down that isle ought to be hanging their head in shame for the public display of such a blatantly offensive racial slur.

brainbomb - Not sure how old you are....mentally.....but I grew up with a phrase:
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me.

I dont' give yo uthe power to offend me with your ridiculous auditory utterences. And the world would be a damned better place if all you fucking idiots would get over yourselves and stop pretending that everyone around you needs to lick your butthole and call it sweet every time they meet you.

what the fuck is wrong with you that you think your self-worth is based upon the words and labels applied to you by strangers? Seriously? and if people that KNOW you are insulting you with the auditory utterences, then you had better lock yourself in a room and do some self-examination to figure out why you are such an asshole that your known associates are slinging their poo at you.


And for the record, I used the word "nigger" in a recent conversation as part of a discussion, not as a name that I called to anyone. It was an "intellectual" use, to compare it's use to the word "pussy". If you children can't handle a discussion topic, then you need to leave the forum.

Successful. White and male. Shouldn't it ONLY be white? Why do poor males or women get to say it? Or is it easier to attack successful white males?"


Toi pile on, if the word is bad, what does me being WHITE have to do with using or not using it? So you are admitting that NOT-WHITE people CAN use the word?

Ohhhhh.....so.....there is a RACIAL DOUBLE FUCKING STANDARD?

Well....since I am not a racist, I refuse to play by racist double standards....

I was taking his own argument to expose that he was intending to attack successful white males, rather than what his logic should dictate; not justifying it.

Full Press Explanation
I searched the rules and the faq. I may be dense. I cannot find an explanation of what full press means. Also, is it illegal to send a PM to one of the players in a game if the players are not anonymous? For example, if I see the deadline ticking down and my ally hasn't put in orders, may I send her a PM to alert her that she might miss the turn?

Unranked games have counted towards GR
Hey just wanted you guys to know that GR has been broken for a while now, with unranked games being counted towards GR since it's been integrated.

Do not worry, I've already contacted the mods, and they are working feverishly to fix the problem and it should be fixed by the next GR update, but I felt that all of you should know. Hold on one second while I get my proof for this.
