How to play Russia in Gunboat
Title. I suck at Russia in gunboat. I have no clue what high level strategy I should be going for. I just always die after accomplishing virtually nothing.

Geoguessr, anyone?
I was wondering if anyone else plays it. It seems like the kind of thing folks around here might like.

Rhyme Time II
I'm looking for a few good word magicians. Give me your nobles, your humble and fancy patricians. I need 7 players to commit to a time; to play an unranked press game whose objective is rhyme.

Bullying and harassment on the forum
I have a couple questions regarding this because I think a recent thread that was locked today brings up a lot of good questions that I think need to be asked.

I have news for you ssoren. We aren't going to tolerate such apologia for bigotry from the likes of you anymore. You position is reprehensible and deplorable. Want to see why young men get gunned down in the street and women still get raped and can't report it? take a look in the mirror and see an enabler.

I decry such conduct and you leap to its defense by attacking me. I'd say either you didn't read my comment very carefully, or you're pretty much happy to defend racists and sexists. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but read this part in particular again:
"Here's a quick clue, courtesy of a clueless statement from Tom Bombadil:
"I don't think this has anything to do with being PC or anything to do with politics (not everything does). Its about having a forum where people can enjoy the site."

That's all being "PC" is about. Making it a forum where peopl can enjoy it, because they don't have to listen to your adolescent racism or sexism or homophobia because you're still applying acne cream. Those who who complain about "PC" are those who are so goddamned oblivious that they either don't have the mental brain power to understand they're being offensive or are so inhuman that they don't give a shit.

And those people I will harrass the hell out of and back until they are left a pile of quivering jelly weeping crushed and demoralized in the corner. Because I for one have had enough of the sexism and the racism and the homophobia and all the rest of it,"

That's the core and if you find that so objectionable, then you can expect that with every vile utterance and defense you offer, you're going to find me or someone like me calling you out in the strongest possible terms. No one is going to tolerate or turn a blind eye to this crap anymore until it is drummed out of our society entirely.

im not defending ANYONE you included, but threats of Violence are intollerable.

i have no issues with anyone based on sex color or creed...i dont give a fuck. Im about making money. That gives me the opportunity to enjoy life and i give A lot OF MONEY TO CHARITY---thats what floats my boat

No, you're absolutely right about the threats of violence and I apologize. Nonviolence is by far the better way, but in the face of injustice I find it a struggle to maintain that attitude.

But the "I don't give a fuck" is precisely what lets it go on, and frankly, that was the attitude that's always let this kind of thing persist, from the nazis on down. I appreciate the charitable work a great deal, but now is not the time for decent people (white men in particular, like me) to be silent. Consider it.

Thanks. I try. (My activity is in climate change work).

Actually, given how much hate and bigotry have festered in the internet and how controversies like Gamergate have shown what happens if there's never any pushback in circles like this, I have decided to speak up as forcefully as possible in any venue. It isn't that people disagree with me, its that when these attitudes are tolerated and reinforced without any interruption, they spread and if shared by millions, they'll give rise to a thousands who rape their female friends on college campuses and dozens who will walk into a church or a mosque and start shooting to start a "race war" (as if one weren't already well underway).

Trump's comment about "locker room talk" in particularly made me resolve that whenever and whereever I hear such things, I'm responding and not in a namby pampy way. I intend to put the bullies squarely in the corner at every turn. I've never heard such talk in my locker room, but if I do, I'm not staying stilent, but I'm going to be shouting at the top of my lungs right in their faces so that everyone listening understands that there's a lot of us who do not agree and do not appreciate it. I'm never going to let anyone assume I accept or tolerate such things, because I don't. Maybe it will give others courage to speak up too. God knows I didn't have that when I was younger, but as one of the most privileged humans every to walk the face of the earth, I'm going to use that bullhorn as best I can.

We are giving peace a chance, because it can't coexist with people attacking or denigrating others for who they are. Why is that so hard to comprehend, Jeff?

Yeah, if people are decrying sexism or racism, the right answer is "yeah, that stuff sucks" not "shut up about it"

I am thinking about my audience. And the complacent need to be woken up, because a lot of us have seen this before and history proves silence is the wrong response. Sorry if that makes you uncomfortable, but comforting isn't really what I'm after here.

I can easily understand that observers of the vitriolic insults launched at me for trying to make a stand regarding the use of two vulgar offensive terms in the forum, might be reluctant to participate & openly express support, but I did notice a big spike in my likes stats during that furore..so thank you to those who encouraged me that way.

I agree 100% with ssorenn. On the previous page Ogion stated, QUOTE "Anything else and you're being just another misogynistic bastard of the kind that needs to be wiped from the face of the earth." END QUOTE

This is utterly unacceptable. He did apologize, but it doesn't excuse the issue that he is peddling his outlandish and violent platform on a public gaming forum.

I'm not playing obviously because it's completely anon. If you join, please do NOT post here or anywhere that you've joined. I'll periodically bump this thread until it fills.

Feature request: expand mod powers
I've noticed that a lot of people have been having issues with mod's decisions lately and I think the forum would be a better place if the mods/ admins had the powers to do more than just ban a user and if they were allowed to, for example, also kill the user's family. Implementing a "-1 and ban" feature underneath the +1 feature may also be funny to watch. Thank you and I hope you take my ideas into consideration.

Feature request: time clock location
It would be really nice to have the countdown clock right above the order menu. That way one wouldn't have to scroll up to see how many precious seconds are left (wasting precious seconds). Would be pretty useful toward the end of the 5-minute 1v1's in which there are a lot of orders to fill.
