There's more. You don't have to believe Jesus was the Son of God, but there was a Jewish guy named Jesus who was baptized by John the Baptist and later crucified.

Are you saying I yell about "fags or injuns," cause I never did that. Also, I don't think it makes me an asshole to not just lie down and take vicious attacks on some of mine and many other people's most basic beliefs.

You talk about tolerance but can't even be polite.

not very convincing.

"story from the Babylonian Gemara about someone who may, or may not be Jesus."
"This is, presumably, a portion of the anti-Christian polemic written by Celsus in the 2nd c. CE."
"Tertullian's summary of Jewish response to the gospel accounts."

accounts either not supporting the existence of jesus, accounts that were written hundreds of years after jesus 'lived' or things that really have nothing to do with him.

also the bible is not historically reliable.
it was an oral tradition for many generations, and it has been translated and rewritten so many times, it's basically a useless storybook.

no mapleleaf is the fags and injuns guy

tolerance and politleness have little to do with each other.
you can have "a fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward those whose opinions, practices, race, religion, nationality, etc., differ from one's own" without "showing good manners toward others, as in behavior, speech, etc.; courteous; civil"

Thanks for putting me in the game. You should always be polite.
Sicarius (673 D)

we could actually start that game you know.


should I?
I like to be polite, I enjoy it, but i dont think I should od it all the time

I'd join. You catch more flies with honey, you know.

You know it's an expression. Stop being disagreeable.
Sicarius (673 D)
02 Nov 08 UTC
well it's a very silly expression. you're not special I disagree with everyone who uses that analogy.

anyway lets try to get this game together.

how long should phases be?
how big should pot be?
PPSC or WTA?
teams?
etc.
Invictus (240 D)
02 Nov 08 UTC
I'd say 24-48 hour phases with no more than a 50 point buy in. Personally I don't care about winner-take-all or per supply center.

Teams? Yeah, good one.
maintgallant (100 D)

How is we always break down into religious squabbling? Amazed that no one put Caesar, Mao Tze Tung, or Hannibal.

BTW Chief Joseph was a close to making my list. And who was the Ottoman general the destroyed the Crusades for so many years?

Corollary: Who would win in meta-alliance Diplomacy? Barack Obama w/Joe Biden as an ally, or John McCain w/Sarah Palin as an ally?
Sicarius (673 D)
02 Nov 08 UTC
you've never played a team game then huh?

ok well I'll see if some of the others are interested and start it up
Invictus (240 D)
02 Nov 08 UTC
Saladin beat the crusaders, but he was Kurdish, not Ottoman.

I don't think any of them would be very good, but Joe the Senator would be the best.

Would This Really Work?
I've read somewhere that a really good strategy for an Anglo-French (or Franco-English, I guess) alliance is to have England occupy Brest so France cannot build fleets and then France gets support to Belgium. Has anyone tried it and is it really effective?

World Federation or A Concert of Nations?
Is there a worldwide trend to supernationalsim, or a trend to separatism? For all these continental unions you have a South Ossetia or an East Timor. Ireland rejected an EU Constitution and Belgium might not last another twenty years. So will we see the death of the Westphalian State or World Government in our time?

Can anyone confirm with me what the ticks and crosses means on the status against each player? I have a suspicion that it means a player has entered a move for the current round. Would this be updated or finalised? Is there a help file which confirms this?
