Remember all those bullets DHS was buying. Well, apparently Obama's DHS is now acting as domestic police...because every tyranical government needs federal police to quell domestic political speech...

Suicide vs homicide
What's worse? I know my opinion, and I feel it's easy to guess, but I'm curious what you guys think. I'm talking both ethically and aftermath. Also, does it make a different if it's 800 people commiting suicide vs 1 commiting homicide, or the other way around? Do circumstances matter? Again, sounds pretty obvious to me but I don't want to influence the outcome.

Why was Landowner banned?
He wasnt a multi. He wasn't a meta since he never played a game. And what does "invalid email" mean? He spoke on the forum about responding to emails...what is the policy for banning someone based on not checking emails? If you go on vacation for a week and don't check, does that result in getting banned?

Threads/Replys are very wrong
I was looking at someone's profile a while ago to see what they had posted about a subject and it seems that the threads/replys on our profiles are missing threads from the past month. Am I seeing this wrong, or is there some problem here?

Hey guys its me again.
I come here with a question. There is in fact a personal story behind this question, but I'm sure you are all tired of hearing my personal stories, so I won't go into that unless people want me to. Anyway, my question is this: Is listening to music on Youtube morally/ethically equivalent to watching pirated movies or bootlegs? If not, what is the difference? Assume that neither the music nor the movie is owned in any other medium.

I created this EoG for one player: France. France, you are probably one of the worst players I have ever seen. How could you be so frikin stupid? Firstly, in Autumn 1901, you both move to Munich and build fleet Merseilles. How could you expect to win *both* battles?

You got owned by me and Italy until Spring 1904 when an Italian mis-order kept you alive (lucky sob. He should have cut that Spanish support and destroyed you). Also, if you hadn't realized, you didn't kick me out of your country. I went out voluntarily so that you could contribute against Britain who was, at that time, the strongest power.

Spring 1906 is when Italy stopped attacking (again voluntarily) and you also managed to kick out Britain by Autumn of that year. Yet still, you built fleet Merseilles. Whyyyy? couldn't you forshadow, just a little bit, what would happen if no one was there to check the power of Austria?

By 1907, I was convinced that you were the biggest dumbass I have ever seen. Even if you want to justify attacking me (who, by the way, was destroying the guy who was attacking you), why the hell would you attack Italy!? aghhhh!

Even by Autumn 1908, you were still attacking Italy when it was clear that Austria was growing way to strong.

Alas, every dumbass needs to NMR at least once a game and you fulfilled that requirement in 1909.

1910 was where it was clear that this was going to be a 3 man game. Oh, just to clarify that for you France, that means me and you versus the big bad red guy. Now, why move to Wal if you didn't plan on taking one of my sc's, which btw, I would have loved for you to do because I couldn't use the build anyway. I have seen people take the sc's and I have seen people not take them. It was a completely novel experience watching you go in for it, and then get cold feet at the last second. like, what the fuck?

In Spring 1912, you got extremely lucky again. I had showed you the turn before that I was willing to support Bel into Holland yet you decide to do it yourself instead of trying to protect Munich.

Autumn 1912 and Spring 1913 were the nails in the coffin. The reason we lost. The complete summation of your stupidity. Why the hell would I attack you!? I frikin already had more sc's than I needed! plus, don't you realize that trusting me is the best option because, oh I don't know, Austria has 17 centers and I only have 9!? Oh, maybe you got a little confused and thought this was PPSC or something? Wrong! you throw away the game completely in 1903 when you again don't trust my western fleet and try to block your centers which, btw, don't count for shit because we lost!

In summary, France is a retard.

Besides for him, play across the board was pretty good. England, I just had to ask why you never cut my support from Kiel when Holland was your last center. Its what I would have done.

Oh, and I even forgot to mention how France just LET Austria get into Burgundy. Seriously? You couldn't have put 2 seconds of thought into your moves?

And just for laughs, you finished the game with a second NMR.

Of Warp Cores and Insurgents--Trek 12 and the Post 9/11 Aesthetic
http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-talk/9-11-looms-large-over-star-trek-darkness-211915647.html
Interesting article about the allegories in the film...those that have seen it--agree, disagree (I very much agree, and felt it was very much in the Trek tradition of tackling topical issues) or what...but as a side note...is anyone tired of the terrorist/9-11 Aesthetic in TV and film, or feels it's being exploited too much?

The peak ratings no longer show anyone whose peak is not over 100.0. And less detail is available on both the peak and monthly lists so it may be more easily loaded. I'm working on being able to have the details as a separate page.

OK, Let's Try This AGAIN...A Game of English-Language Variants...
I've tried to start this game 3 times now or so, let's make it happen this time--again, the premise is simple: global chat, everyone picks a form of English (ex. I'm using Elizabethan English...some people have wanted to use Nasdat, Rastafarian, Middle English, Southern US English, etc.)...so, indicate interest below and I'll send you the password, my last finals are tomorrow and I want this to be my return game after my short semi-hiatus from the site...let's go!
