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?

Bernie dropped out of a race that he wasn't gonna win. It's what you do when you are a sitting Senator and don't want to lose all the influence you gain from leading a powerful political movement as far as he did.

Hillary not horrible? Must I start ranting?
Yes to the Iraq war, which we all know by know was based on a lie. I say we all know now even though people back then either knew or should've known but nonetheless, definitely know now.
Reading Obama's atlantic thingy forgot what it's called and don't feel like looking it up: she pushed for intervening militarily in Libya more than anyone in the administration probably. The result is an ISIS powerbase in Libya. Not to mention Libya's fractured government that has shit authority.
She wanted to bomb Syria. Badly. Now here is where my dislike turns to hatred. I'm Lebanese and lived in Lebanon for 6 years only recently moved. Do you realize how fucking horrible the Middle East would've become had she got what she wanted? And Lebanon's right next to Syria so bam I'm fucked my friends are fucked their famililes are fucked basically everyone is fucked al qaeda running around establishing emirates or caliphates left and right. Fuck that. Fuck Hillary. Trump's still bastard.

I am curious about the comment "He has been the defendant in two sexual assault cases".

Is being a defendant considered a black mark against someone in America? Oh for the glory days of innocent until proven guilty. Or at the very least innocent when found to be not guilty.

What is most depressing about all this is how quick Democrats are to play the woman card. The Democrats are failing at an unprecedented level. They are bleeding support at an alarming rate, and losing the argument on multiple fronts. This is a time for some serious soul searching and reflection.

And yet instead of that what you hear time and time again is denial. It's not that the Democrats are making misjudgment after misjudgment year after year, oh no. It's misogyny, innit?

Okay I feel sober now considering. and my opinion on this is to take a deep breath. Trump will of course remind you that Bill cheated on Hillary. the best defense against this is of course that you are voting for Hillary not Bill.

Not defending Trump by any means here, but wasn't brainbomb adamant about how Clinton was *accused* multiple times, but it was never proven so she *must* be innocent. And here we have Trump *accused* and never proven, so he *must* be guilty?

Double standard, no?

Trump is no saint. He hacked an4d slashed through lots of people to get what he has. But is is interesting to notice how media are harsh to him compared to treatmant Clinton has. I can be seen that media are heavily on her side. And when media is so openly on thebside of one candidate one should be concerned about the readons.

I'm the United States legal system, people often don't get charged because they have lots of money and influence - not because they're always somehow not guilty.

"Out of curiosity, what's the problem with an argument in the form of "but Clinton..."?"

That it's not a defense of Trump, just an argument for not voting if neither candidate is defensible.

Also, that it's simply not true in this case.

"Who has Trump raped, brainbomb? Who has he sexually assaulted?"

Uh, whoever he was talking about in the video? Of course, he could be a pathetic insecure liar. (Actually, he's a pathetic insecure liar regardless of whether he was lying in the video.)

Oh, and another one got crossed off while we were waiting: "It's just media bias." Like reporting the things that come out of Donald Trump's mouth is yuuuge bias against him. Like the media is obliged to toe the middle line between the candidates regardless of whether that's where the objective reality lies. Like they didn't make hay of every scandal thrown at Hillary.

"But is is interesting to notice how media are harsh to him compared to treatmant Clinton has." - media finds video where trump brags about sexually assaulting women, and this is them being harsh?

Of course they are harsher on him, he's a worse human being than Hillary.

@KC, whatever about the things Clinton is accused of doing, Trump admits to going up and groping and kissing young women, imagine that was your daughter he was bragging about. Now tell me he's innocent until proven guilty (of rape), sure i don't think you should arrest and imprison him until he is proven guilty. But does that mean you should vote for him?

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.
