Edi Birsan End of Game Statement, please discuss:
I wanted to say thank you to all the players for this game and especially to Akroma who made it very interesting and entertaining for me. I think we all know that she had a won game here and elected not to take it. For me that is the sign of breaking through the status of a veteran into a higher field of play.

Why do people call Turkey the worst nation to be?
Why? Italy's WAY worse than Turkey to draw, if France goes all crazy and attack you from the start, good luck. If you try to lepanto, almost every Turkish player has seen that, and If you ally with Austria, they hardly ever trust you and as soon as you start dieing, they dive head first at you. Is there anybody here who actually LIKES to play Italy?

How many CDs are enough?
Personally, I think two CDs within the first 2 years, or 2 or more later on when one of the CDs is, for example, the largest power on the board.

England should not open to the English Channel in gunboat
As France, considering I was thoroughly screwed because Germany and Italy moved unrelentingly against me, I decided to take England down with me. And this decision came totally because England opened to EC in gunboat.

How to get more D's?
I am new to webdiplomacy, and I am playing quite a few games at the same time. The problem is that I do not feel that the games are moving fast enough, and I have only 1 D to play - meaning I am not able to join any more games.

Is there a way to borrow D's? Or even to play without D's?

No eminem?

he is a talented rapper. one of the few who still have any emotion at all left in their lyrics
I enjoy Eminem. But there's no way on earth his first album could crack the top 10 in the 90s. In the aughts, I might be open to persuasion, but I can't think of any of his work that's superior to The Chronic 2001.

A Tribe Called Quest has put out some of the best hip hop in existence.

What is better than a Tribe Called Quest. I challenge you to show me something better.

And yeah I don't like Lil Wayne much either but he does deserve a spot on the top 25 rappers.

Why because other fags like him? His music is trash and he's so fucking fake.
Thucydides (864 D(B))

Look. Just because someone is popular doesn't mean it's bad lol. To think otherwise is a rather... hipsterish outlook.

Also please don't use the word fag. Do I need to explain to you the origin of the word fag as a term for gays or do you already know it?
Thucydides (864 D(B))

Oh and of course there's always Slim Thug. He deserves honorable mention too... reppin' H-Town, chopped and screwed.

Centurion, are you a homophobe? Or just someone with a poor grasp of the English language? So poor a grasp that you must resort to insulting people?
centurion1 (1478 D)
01 Aug 10 UTC
No I dislike lil wayne because his music blows. And he's a complete fake regarding his "thuggishness". I'm saying just because he's popular means he deserves a spot on your list if you dislike him.

And yes I know the origin of the term fag and its use regarding homosexuals. It is a bundle of sticks and later dericed to slang for a ciggarette in britian. I don't think I need to explain how it became a term for gays.

My apologies
centurion1 (1478 D)
01 Aug 10 UTC
Aussieboi, you do not know anything about me so don't jump in throwing around accusations of bigotry. Such affronts will only result in a flame war which I have absolutely no appetite to partake in. Do you enjoy trolling attempting to stir up altercations amongst people or are you simply in a bad mood.
Aussieboi (0 DX)
01 Aug 10 UTC
Centurion- i have Gay friends(both Male and Female) and you using the word FAG for no reason other than to denigrate someone is Offensive.

Thucydides also seemed to take it offensively, so perhaps be careful in your choice of words in future.

And as for not knowing anything about you, i would rather not thanks.
Thucydides (864 D(B))
01 Aug 10 UTC
Well, I'm going to explain to you how that became a term for gays.

It was originally a word for a bundle of sticks used for firewood. It became a term for a cigarette because you can think of that as a small bundle you light on fire.

Now to how it became a term for homosexuals. In the Middle Ages, they would round up as many gays as they could find and tie the "fags" together, burning them, as if they were no better than a piece of firewood.

You asked if I was in a bad mood. No, I wasn't in a bad mood before I saw your post, but now that I've seen it I am.

I don't know what it is that put *you* in such a bad mood to jump on this thread saying people are little bitches and that they fucking such... lol, but I hope you feel better in the morning.

01 Aug 10 UTC
I never said that Thucydides, i am offended that someone like Centurion is denigrating people by the mere use of the word when it has no place here.
Or was that last comment aimed at Centurion?

@Aussieboi - Back at you, cupcake. The word "homophobe" is a pejorative. It is used constantly without any regard to its true definition. It is used simply to diminish the targeted person. Do YOU have a poor grasp of the English language? So poor a grasp that you must resort to insulting people? Or is one-sided name calling some sort of new fag warfare? lol.

A. I apologized and it was quite sincere.
B. I knew exactly what it meant which is why I really didn't want to talk about it bec@ause its not very pretty.
C. My first post was for you the second was for aussieboi.

@aussie

I'm not going to have a I have x number of y friends with you. I have homosexual friends as well. Please refrain from saying things like that its very foolish.

But like I said if you read my post I apologized and it was quite sincere

Thucydides (864 D(B))

As to Lil Wayne being "fake."

When he won the Grammy, it wasn't for being fake; he was talking about Katrina.

And indeed, most rappers have been "fake" in that they are not exactly murderers like they say they are. To me, what matters is the music you put out. Not if you've done enough slingin to be taken seriously. I mean come on.

That being said I don't personally even like to listen to Lil Wayne much - his voice annoys me. But his rhymes are good and he is talented.

Sigh its a term of endearment which in this case is being used in an ironic way

@ Aussiboi - Actually, you moron, I posted an early ON TOPIC response, quoting a rap lyric.

You came in leading the charge of the fag brigade.

So, who's trolling?

didnt include any immortal technique or dead prez.
Thucydides-

All Eyez on me has way to much filler to be ranked above Liquid Swords, Apocalypse '91, or Black Star. If it had come out in the 80's or the 00's, it would be one of the 10 best of the decade. But it came out in the 90's, and the competition is too brutal.

As to the merits of The Chronic versus Enter the Wu Tang, it's pretty much four of one against a third of a dozen of the other for best hip hop album ever (weird numbers because Illmatic is essentially equally as good as the other two). The reason I went with 36 Chambers is frankly because I listened to that more recently than The Chronic. Plus, there's a little too much Kurupt and RBX on the back half, and a little to little Snoop. Nowhere on 36 Chambers is there a weak moment. Plus it has better skits.

Doggystyle and the first two Cypress Hill albums are indisputable great. The score is pretty good, although I actually think the miseducation of Lauryn Hill is the best thing to come out of the wyclef family tree. And of course, slick rick is a titan.
