This Time on Philosophy... Whenever--Alexander Or his Army, Top-Down or Bottom-Up?
So it's back to classes and (hopefully) tutoring quite for me, so I'll likely be quieter (I can hear the cheers already) but to close out a Summer of Arguments, and since we've been talking politics and top-down vs. bottom-up theories lately with politics and economics, I thought I might dust off this TToPW and pose the question here: ARE societies made great by the rich, and trickle down, or is it the proletariat masses who buoy it up, or some other combo?

'Keep Calm and Carry On'
has become something of a meme here in the UK (rightly or wrongly). Has it seen any interest/popularity in the US?

Reason I ask: In a news article on the BBC covering the American presidential race, I was quite surprised to see some people in the background wearing 'Keep Calm and Carry On' T-shirts.

Retiring and moving on to a new phase
Details inside.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))

Hello folks,

This year is going to be a very busy year for me, and I know that I can’t do everything I want to do. So I am going to enter semi-permanent retirement as a player and keep working as a mod since I can’t really stay away from WebDip. Taking the next step on an idea that MadMarx started a while back, I am going to start a couple of completely anonymous games where none of the players will know who is playing. The only one who will know would be me and I won’t be playing. The only thing the player will know is the criteria that I’ll set up. So if people are interested, please PM me. Unlike MM, I won’t deny you a place if you post in this thread. ☺

All games will be anon, 36-48 hours, full press, and preferably 143 D entry (1001 total) but we can do 5-50 D to accommodate.

The first game will be a top 50 GR (rank, not rating). Only one spot is guaranteed in this game, and it’s for someone that has yet to compete with the top current players on the site (he is in the top 50 as well).

The second game will be a mixture of some people in the top 150 GR and some newbies who haven’t had a chance to play in a serious full press game.


If you are interested, please let me know.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
24 Aug 12 UTC
Wow, it seems like there's a lot of competition for invitational games today. So far, I have one person interested in the top 50GR game (he's in the top 10).
Other people???
All games will be on the standard map of course.
MadMarx (36299 D(G))
24 Aug 12 UTC
BASTARD!!!! I started *seven* full press games, all within two days of each other (which was hell by the way!), to accommodate requests to play. I had 45 or 46 people interested, but creating and playing seven games only allowed me to include 42 others, so, yeah, a few got left out, shoot me...

No, they are not automatically disqualified, and for all we know, you are potentially an interested player. Yes, I will pimp you out as I see fit. No, you ain't seeing a dime unless you can do more than three jobs a day. And no, you are not an ass for that.

"The second game will be a mixture of some people in the top 150 GR and some newbies who haven’t had a chance to play in a serious full press game."

what are you saying only games that people with reputations set up can be considered serious? Whya re you such a demeaning asshole holy fuck,?

You are not god, you aren't even likeable. Follow through on your retirement and get the fuck away from us "serious" players.

Bravo Lando...why does every douchebag that decides they don't want to play anymore think they need to make some self-indulgent/self-important post to let people know they are quitting (as if playing a 48 hr game takes so much from your life??) "Ohhh...please beg me to stay!!" Sheesh...and then to ask people to bow at your feet and play your "invitational" likes it some sort of honor....good god...get over yourself.

@Lando

So, let me get this straight. You tell me that one of the biggest problems with this site is there aren't enough well organized games. Now, a mod comes a long and offers to spend his time helping to organize some competitive games and you give him shit for it. Hhmmmm...
krellin (80 DX)
24 Aug 12 UTC
zultar - I'm not angry...and as for getting worked up with everything you do or say...uhhhh...hardly...I just find this "look at me" behavior repugnant...then again, the youth of the world can't ever get enough of pointing the spotlight on themselves (i.e. social media nonsense, etc.) So...I guess you are a victim of your culture.

As for the general concept of "worked up over" what someone else does...this is **laughable** coming from you, who I don't think has ever made an attempt to reply rationally to a post I make, but instead generally starts right in with insults.

I'm not insulting you randomly, here, by the way. I'm insulting you for your self-indulgence and ego. If you wanted to set up a league, you could have said, "I'm goign to set up a leauge". Instead it was, <cue the sad music...> "Alas....sigh....my life has become so full...much fuller than you cretins out there...and as such I can no longer afford to spend a few minutes every other day with you...I will be leaving you...NO...NO...don't cry...for as I look down upon you I know that you will still require some bit of my in your life...and I can't leave you pagans without something...so instead of entering my orders...I will go through the long and arduous process of setting up leagues and monitoring them...You'll never forget me...pleease.. PLEASE don't forget me!!!"

I wasn't talking about what he is doing, just how he is going about it.

It is impossible for him to right a forum post without being directly insulting. It is weird.

The biggest problem with this site is zultar and people like him. The second is the failure of the tournaments here, but that is a seperate issue.

I hope you get a good turn out, zultar, these sort of games are typically excellent...
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
25 Aug 12 UTC
That's my hope as well, MadMarx.

To Lando and Krellin:
I'm sorry you don't understand, but given our past interactions, I suspect you don't actually care and are just looking to waste my time. This conversation is considered resolved.

Getting the thread back on track, as of this point, I have three people signed up for the top 50 GR and two people for the mixed of veterans and newbies game. If the people who signed up so far are any indication, then the two games should turn out well. So, please continue to PM to me and I will try my best to accommodate you.
Draugnar (0 DX)
25 Aug 12 UTC
If the mixed game has a 15 or 20 point buy in, I will join it.

So, Draugnar, your personal preferences trump everything zultar is putting his time and energy into?! Hmmm, maybe you're just Lando sitting for Draugnar and coming up with a new way to mess with zultar...
Draugnar (0 DX)
26 Aug 12 UTC
Honestly, I just forgot he wanted completely anon. But so long as you keep commenting on it, more and more people.will remember. But if you let it die, most of my.opponents will have forgotten by the time the game begins.

How do you report people for cheating?
Noticed two players allied in half a dozen "anonymous" games always end up allying and always end up drawing it or one of them winning. It is pretty strong circumstantial evidence of cheating.

Driving Off a Fiscal Cliff--What is Your Opinion?
I'll give a quick disclosure here and say economics certainly isn't my strongest suit, so my understanding of the Fiscal Cliff being talked about boils down to going ahead with programs for 2013 that would lead to tax increases vs. canceling some and accruing more debt. If that's in error, I apologize. But in any case--what is your take on it, and which side of that coin do you prefer? (And can we PLEASE keep it civil.) :)
