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?

Democrats are the only party that imprisoned political opponents (Japanese in WWII) and denied the right to vote to U.S. citizens (jim crow, black codes, KKK = Democratic Party and not one republican were in favor of those things).

Well, you ought to look at caging efforts and the various violations of voting rights. And yes, Trump has said he wants to do much worse that water boarding and wants to imprison Clinton and has said he will instruct law enforcement to reach a verdict before trial or investigation.

You taught the constitution? Color me skeptical. So, what do you see as democrats tearing up the constitution. I will be amused to see what you come up with.

Ah I see. So you mean "did a pair of unconstitutional things a half century ago. (And Japanese weren't political opponents, FYI). And the KKK and the Jim Crow proponents are the Republucan base and have been since 1964. Did you just walk out of a cryogenic chamber?
ND (879 D)

Nope. More Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 then Democrats.

The Big Flip that you are mentioning is not accurate.

I believe some in the GOP (including Trump) are for enhanced interrogation. since it has been proven effective I see no issue with that practice continuing.

You do realize that your link says Trump wants to do more that water boarding. The US executed Japanese officers for waterbaording US soldiers after WWII. Also, your link shows it isn't effective. It is also a violation of the Geneva conventions and the eighth amendment. Which was my initial point that Conservative have very little respect for the Constitution. I'd be on with waterbaording after the Presidemt proposing it gets water boarded say fifty times

And no, your point about Japanese internment is incorrect. They weren't political opponents (are you really suggesting they were Republicans?).

But you're a conservative so of course your a fact free idiot.

The same Democratic majority that had to distance itself from Obama during campaign season to hope for seats. Also, Congress is inherently not "administration."

I just had a thought. New information isn't bringing Hillary down because it's too similar to old information. Going into the DNC, we knew there was collision with the media. We knew there was shady shit at the Clinton Foundation. We knew the paid speeches to Wall Street contained something that pandered to their interests even if at the detriment of workers (private and public position isn't some new revelation, since she's long been accused of pandering). Fracking was never even a secret.

You expect to find some bombshell against the Clintons that puts Trump in the lead, but she's one of the most constantly scrutinized people in the world. "New revelations" are old criticisms.

Hey guys, so a group of players from a German site came up with the idea of creating a gunboat game, exchanging phone numbers and communicate solely via whatsapp. I though that the idea is pretty cool and would love to try it out.

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.
