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?

I'm wondering why I was never talked to in private after this thread was temporarily locked? I'm wondering why I am not, in fact, muted by every single participant in this thread.

Because, in order to make a point about whether or not certain language is deemed offensive by our collective group of virgin ears, I intentionally made statements, and suggested some actions, that I believe were rival to those being discussed which everyone is soooooo outraged about.

I'm still here. I doubt anyone in this thread muted me. Hell...my intentionally over-the-top comments were hardly even noticed, except for by Zultar, who did it arguably not because he was personally offended, but because he doesn't think it's appropriate for the site.

So...back to my original series of posts on this thread -- I suggest the tear-shedding, ear-burning outcry from all those who claim a particular private conversation is simply beyond the pale, and far beyond what anyone in normal society ever, every does....well, I think you are just full of crap, and obvious political pawns marching as instructed by your hypocritical masters.

When you demand an apology from the woman who destroyed other women for accusing her husband of rape...instead of either being silent or backing the search for truth in such a horrendous accusation....then I will give you the time of day.

The truth is there is very little credibility either here in this thread, or in the actual political/media arena for anyone to be claiming offense.

Simple and utter political BS.

So if I call you a fag, it's not because you're a fag. It's because I'm an immature idiot, and thus my attacks on you shouldn't make you feel any pain.

and if they do you might be a fag

@Brainbomb -- "People dont need to be bullied and objectified in 2016"

Hate to tell you this buddy -- and I mean this **100%** serously -- you are an incredible bully.

Go through your posts on this website in various discussions. I think that you will find....as well as all of the smug fucking liberals around here....that you spend a lot of time bullying people, telling them that they are stupid, telling them their ideas are wrong, etc.

You have zero acceptance of any idea that doesn't fit your perfect ideology, and if anyone disagrees with you, you will make sure to belittle them.

Ogh sure...you will say YOUR ideas are correct thought...therefore your mental abuse of others is perfectly acceptable, right? Just like every violent authoritarian throughout history.

Your a fucking fraud, my friend. I love you - you amuse me - but you ar ea fucking fraud if you think you don't represent everything you claim to despise, in terms of your treatment of anyone you disagree with.

@Brainbomb: "People dont need to be.......objectified in 2016"

And CLEARLY you once again failed to read anything I wrote, becuase unless you live in a FUCKING BOX and don't use the internet, our society does a fairly decent job of objectifying people on a regular basis.

Woman are sex object, used to sell everything from cars to cookies. And if you are buying said objects, then you support the objectification of women.

Women are treated as sex objects in our media, our music, or print, our internet....and unless you forego indulging in these sexually objectifying media, you are a fucking hypocrite

Men in our media culture are also objectified...as raging idiots and buffoons in most of our "sit coms", and as violent predators in the other half of our media. No such thing as a noble gentleman exists anymore.


and on and on and on.


So give a fucking break brainbomb. You are such a narrow minded little twat if you think that 2016 represents some fucking holy grail of personal interactions.

The very Liberal media (entertainment and political) that has pushed thbullshti notion of anti-bullying and kindness to every deviant has held fast to bullying and objectifying the groups NOT covered by the fucking deviant PC agenda.

Sexual deviants in society -- the trannies and homosexuals, etc -- are now consistently potrayed in media as humble, perfect saints.
Blacks, hillariously in this hypocritical idiocy -- are still mostly portrayed as the criminal element
Middle-Easterners have two media roles: Still the villain, or alternately the poor victimized shmo being oppressed buy the judgmental white man.....when in fact the vast overwhelming majority of them just go aobu their day to day life unmolested and not in either of the above categories
Women: Still sexual objects
Men: Idiots and fools, or violent predators
Asians: The Smart Ones

etc etc etc......

Seriously brainbomb, if you believe half the tripe you spew, you are truly a blithering idiot.

Guys the freedom of speech is essential.

Now webDiplomacy.net is Public, but if they put out rules saying I can't say a wordg on the forum that's fine. As far as I know it's fairly free speech here - as long as you don't incite violence or spam I think it's fine (correct me if I'm wrong)

but as long as it's free speech, demanding that a word be censored due to it making someone feel bad is kinda bullying in it's own rite

I'm bi and I'm sure Krellin thinks that qualifies me as a fag and I'm fine if he calls me that (if you don't Krellin then be sure to let me know in extreme detail why not). He's an amoral asshole but his rights are just

someone says something and your snowflake ass says "HATE SPEECH" and now the use of that word is evil, despite many people within a community being fine with it.

I think you will find that Liberty is not a two way street on this issue. Liberty should never interfere with ones ability to express themselves and Pursue happiness. If people want to be homosexual not only is it legal, it absolutely should be accepted. In Ancient Greece it was equally common for men to be with men as it was for same sex relations.

Furthermore, The Pursuit of Happiness for women should include not having to have their breasts stared at all the time, or sexual remarks made about their appearance at work, or anytime a woman feels offended someone is allowed to say "well kim kardashian is a bitch so its okay, she represents all women". Thats ridiculous to use her against feminism.

Its also really kind of cringey that you guys are still trying to push the envelope on this instead of just being civil and admitting, ya know, maybe, just maybe the boys will be boys bullshit dragged on for long enough.

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.
