Looking for a decent game (RR96%)
I'm looking to join a game with players that will actually play. I haven't played for a couple of years and was quickly reminded why I stopped when in Autumn 01 3 people failed to submit orders in my first game back. My RR is 96% (I'm still ashamed it's not 100% - I CD'ed once before RR was visible and didn't know it would negatively affect my stats). I prefer to play classic. Other than that, I'm not too bothered on rules or phase length. Also, I love players that "ready" often.

Throwing a game
What is everybody's opinion on players throwing a game? There's a debate going on in a game of mine whether it's a form of metagaming or a valid strategy, or just unsportsmanlike, and I'd be curious to see how everyone feels about it.

hey i remember when clinton was asked about monica and he sternly looked into the camera and said i have never had relations with that woman. he served out his terms. trump will serve out his as well. there is no way he will be impeached let alone tried in the senate and he will not resign either. but the dems want to continue their wet dream and their bankrupt ideas and temper tantrums. so be it.

Your hotel rooms are apparently empty. No-one wants to visit you after you voted in that shit-head into power. I understand fully! You lost it all in that last election. Also I boycott USA from now on. I will not visit and will prefer non American products every time I buy something..
Ogion (3882 D)
03 Mar 17 UTC
Frankly, peter, it's hard to blame you. In fact, you may be doing the world a service. Since Americans are evidently too stupid to understand science (I blame our terrible education system after four decades of Republican gutting of funding), we are going to be putting the entire planet in danger. Sadly, since reason doesn't work with Americans, sanctions and military strikes might be the only remaining rational answer

@abgemacht

Is it? Faced with a nation that is hell bent on world destruction, wouldn't war be justified as a last resort? Americans largely agreed hat attacking Iraq in the event that it had weapons of mass destruction that it would use against the US (a total lie, but a lot of votes came on that premise) would be justified. Given that, why would Mauritius or Kiribati not be fully jstified in sending nudes commandos to blow up coal plants, mines and oil installations? We went to war against the Nazis for a lot less.

Make no mistake, the Us is engaging in activities that are so destructive to other nations as to be acts of war and is the ONLY nation that seems inclined not to change its ways. Given a choice between destruction of human civilization and two to four billion dead and war against the US wouldn't the war be preferable?

@Ogion

holding every responsible for the acts of a few, huh? nice one. And don't forget that the decision to go into Iraq was bipartisan. Yes we got lied to, but that is MUCH different from Hitler in Mein Kampf openly speaking about killing Jews as the only solution.

That's probably one of my biggest criticisms of Trump, when he said "go after the families of terrorists"

he should have been charged with advocating for war crimes right then and there.

To claim that the US is the only country contributing to global warming is absurd.

Also, exactly how do you foresee a war with America working out for those other countries? Do you really think it would be a net positive on the world?

I agree that the US needs to do much more to address climate change, but declaring war on the US would not solve the problem and it's insane that it would be even suggested.
Ogion (3882 D)
03 Mar 17 UTC

I didn't claim that the US isn't the only one contributing. It is by far the single biggest contributor in total (e.g. look at total cumulative emissions since 1700, say). The US by itself is responsible for a over a quarter of the 545 GT emitted since 1850. Europe is responsible for another quarter. Clearly, those are the two entities that ought to pick up half the tabe between them instead of doing nothing. Only China and Russia top 5% other than those two.

It is the only country that isn't committing to fix the problem.

Well what other solutions are there? The best would of course for Americans to wake the fuck up and address the problem but clearly that isn't going to happen. Given that there are very very few of us in the US who have gone off fossil fuels, how could you possibly say it is due to the acts of the few? Americans vote in large numbers for climate change deniers and act in even larger numbers to burn shit tons of fossil fuels. If there ever was a case for national culpability based on the acts of virtually everyone, this would be it.

And unlike the Nazis, our climate change denying government was elected by pretty close to a majority and its acts are supported by well over 95% of the people. And the consequences are vastly worse than what the Nazis were up to. Climate change is on track to surpass the Nazis body count ten times over by mid century.

So, we need plan B. Obviously sanctions would be first, and bringing the US economy to its knees would do a lot of good. However, there's no guarantee that that would do enough.

So if sanctions don't work, and the US continues to persist with its civilization destruction program, why wouldn't or shouldn't other countries threatened with extinction take action? What is your case for just letting the US fuck up the earth?
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
03 Mar 17 UTC
I'm not saying the US should be allowed to ruin the earth. I'm saying that going to war with America will not work because either the offending countries will be destroyed and nothing will change or the earth will truly be destroyed with a nuclear winter.

Maybe, but the rest of the world has every right to stop the US by any means necessary.
Ogion (3882 D)

Frankly, I think the notion of the world imposing sanctions alone would do a lot to focus the attention of Americans. Blowing up a few coal plants would also. If the US wants to nuke the Mauritius in response, the US president would certainly end up living out his life in a cell in the Hague if he ever stepped foot outside the US.

Ogion proposes treason.

I blame our terrible education system after four decades of Republican gutting

California has had virtual democrat control of the legislature since the 1950's
so who is to blame here? Oh i know, unfettered undocumented immigration since the 1970's of people with no english skills (often no spanish either) in non-english speaking homes. who's parents take out the girls by high school and who's attitude towards education is to knock down any achievers. I lived that discrimination myself as did my father.
CAPT Brad (40 DX)
03 Mar 17 UTC
Ogion speaks from a position of WHITE PRIVILEGE whereas myself and my father have faced discrimination of Spanish speakers. my father refused to have me learn Spanish growing up so i would have a better chance in a white world where i could 'pass'.

Ogion's only solution is to either blame someone else or throw money at the system while he preaches 'tolerance' as he enables the breakdown of traditional moral values.
CAPT Brad (40 DX)

@ Ogion
Blowing up a few coal plants would also.

And now Ogion favors a terrorist solution. what kind of monster are you Ogion?
