Why do people think the moon is old?
Have you ever been to the moon? no. The few astronauts who supposedly went to this so called 'moon' are all controlled by the government, who are too afraid to admit the truth.

taking over CD positions
When I first started here, I made the mistake of taking over CD countries in existing games. That's pretty hard to win at, especially when new to the game. And I learned taking over CD positions was fruitless and thankless.

My question is, now that Reliability Ratings are up and running, does taking over CD countries do anything to improve RR?

Watson Personality Insights Analyzer
What does Watson think of your personality?

I put in an entire article I have written for a journal and here is Watson's analysis of my writing:

You are inner-directed and skeptical.

You are imaginative: you have a wild imagination. You are philosophical: you are open to and intrigued by new ideas and love to explore them. And you are self-conscious: you are sensitive about what others might be thinking about you.

Your choices are driven by a desire for prestige.

You consider achieving success to guide a large part of what you do: you seek out opportunities to improve yourself and demonstrate that you are a capable person. You are relatively unconcerned with taking pleasure in life: you prefer activities with a purpose greater than just personal enjoyment.

Here is what I put in:

"Empirically we all observe that there is always someone present on the forum who is causing a stir. A priori I theorise that many possibilities exist but the possibility itself of deciphering which possibility is the most likely to be true is impossible, at least in the realm of possibility which of course is one of the main realms of the a priori.
== Ethics==
Why is all this occuring? I present my aforementioned possibilities thus:
* A major operation of sabotage by the PDs.
* The dominance of moral collapse in a postmodern society in spite of the fact that good and evil are not uniquely theistic ideas.
* The obsession with fame, a large part of human nature at least in the West.
* A campaign carried out by technophobiacs to sabotage forums, ours being but one of the victims.
* The discontent of the urban lower classes who suffer from boredom.
* Both the lack of intelligence and decency combined with the unwillingness to change for the better (these two combined are what I detest about humanity the most, humanity DOES have much potential but refuses to harness it and therefore humans are not limited by being purely empirical beings but rather by the fact that they impose false limits on themselves when the true limits are already in place)
=============================================
Long Defeat
Are we to constantly experience this or will the problem cease if the necessary steps are taken? There are of course varying viewpoints present regarding human nature so I will reserve my judgement on the long defeat for the present time."


##########################################


And here is what I got out:

"You are shrewd, skeptical and can be perceived as indirect.

You are philosophical: you are open to and intrigued by new ideas and love to explore them. You are unconcerned with art: you are less concerned with artistic or creative activities than most people who participated in our surveys. And you are independent: you have a strong desire to have time to yourself.

Your choices are driven by a desire for organization.

You consider helping others to guide a large part of what you do: you think it is important to take care of the people around you. You are relatively unconcerned with tradition: you care more about making your own path than following what others have done."

Well played, abge. Most comments directed at me nowadays are my lack of play. I wonder if there is a message people are trying to get across.


When I ran one of my first messages as Austria to Russia (MadMarx), here's what I got:
You are inner-directed and unaggressive.

You are empathetic: you feel what others feel and are compassionate towards them. You are accommodating: you are easy to please and try to avoid confrontation. And you are self-assured: you feel you have the ability to succeed in the tasks you set out to do.

You are motivated to seek out experiences that provide a strong feeling of well-being.

You are relatively unconcerned with tradition: you care more about making your own path than following what others have done. You consider helping others to guide a large part of what you do: you think it is important to take care of the people around you.


Here's how Watson judged MM's reply to me:
You are a bit compulsive.

You are empathetic: you feel what others feel and are compassionate towards them. You are intermittent: you have a hard time sticking with difficult tasks for a long period of time. And you are unconcerned with art: you are less concerned with artistic or creative activities than most people who participated in our surveys.

Your choices are driven by a desire for efficiency.

You consider independence to guide a large part of what you do: you like to set your own goals to decide how to best achieve them. You are relatively unconcerned with tradition: you care more about making your own path than following what others have done.


Here's Italy (goldie's) press to me before a stab:
You are sentimental, easily rattled and can be perceived as shortsighted.

You are empathetic: you feel what others feel and are compassionate towards them. You are proud: you hold yourself in high regard, satisfied with who you are. And you are intermittent: you have a hard time sticking with difficult tasks for a long period of time.

You are motivated to seek out experiences that provide a strong feeling of well-being.

You consider independence to guide a large part of what you do: you like to set your own goals to decide how to best achieve them. You are relatively unconcerned with tradition: you care more about making your own path than following what others have done.

I would hope that it would be the case since one would be expected to write differently based on the venue.
It would be interesting/fun to use this Watson method as a way to predict stabs and alliances.

Every car keeps track of the amount of km or miles driven..
With regards to the engine for instance, wouldn't it make more sense to track the amount of rounds (not per minute, but total)? And perhaps the average rpm? Or is rpm not the key factor in ruining your engine?
