Re: Free Speech is Outdated

Grammar is essential to clarify meaning. It's hard enough when people have different meanings for terms, but a missing comma can easily change a sentence. Eats shoots and leaves. Eats shoots, and leaves. Eats, shoots, and leaves. Yeah but he only said grammar NAZIS. Meaning regular users of correct...

Re: Mafia 47 - The Sixth Mass Extinction, Sign Ups

I just want the tactic banned and I would probably join. I got nothing against Chippe personally. I said in the god qt that I thought he had a good role to play and I just hated the method he used to play it last game.

Re: Free Speech is Outdated

Free speech is outdated and what is allowed to be said should be regulated and decided by an elite group of politicians. We need to censor out all bad beliefs as decided by this group, both online and publicly. We can't rely on the open marketplace of ideas because people who espouse bad views won'...

Re: Should white people own Chinese restaurants?

Of course they should. Anybody who can do the food justice and wants to open a restaurant for it should do it. Anybody who can't shouldn't be opening a restaurant at all. Objecting to people who are doing it justice simply because of the skin color of the people is racist and there's really no room ...

Re: Why am I so terrible at gunboat?

I've gotten burned too many times from English players who see my bouncing Russia as an opportu...

Re: Why am I so terrible at gunboat?

Game 1: I think if you had been patient with Germany for one more turn you'd have had a rock-solid E/G alliance that would have carried you to the middle game in a strong position. What happens after that is anyone's guess. I understand why you wanted to pivot after S02, since you and France were st...

Re: When to let Russia have Sweden?

The only thing I would add is that I think if I were truly completely evenly minded between allowing Russia to take Sweden and blocking Russia out of Sweden, I would bias toward letting him have it. You touched on this point well enough near the end. For the most part, you can afford to let Russia h...

Re: The King is Dead!

So basically it's a Diplomacy game with predetermined but secret alliances/targets. The King/Knight faction wants to draw after killing everyone outside the faction, the Rebel faction wants to draw after killing everyone outside the faction, the Traitor wants to solo, and outside of the King, no one...

Re: Mafia 46 - Ace Attorney - GAME THREAD

And I understand Carl's stance. Chippe's play was not enjoyable for me. But I think that is some 'Gentleman's agreement'. When someone disrespects that, punishing him is difficult for GM. I agree wholly with that point. I might not have been clear enough in divorcing my criticism of the current sta...

Re: Mafia 46 - Ace Attorney - GAME THREAD

In hindsight yes it's obvious the game wasn't breakable via PMs. That isn't the point of the objection nor a claim anybody has made. We all know now, with the game over, that ChippeRock was lying and nothing had gone wrong. With perfect information, both to the GMs during play and to the players aft...

Re: Mafia 46 - Ace Attorney - GAME THREAD

It's my firm stance that such situations shouldn't exist in the first place for me to need GM clarification. Frankly it's bullshit to expect 20+ players to PM you asking if there was a GM error in someone else's PM, especially because you are again put in a spot where your answer might confirm their...

Obviously you always could have been scum lying about the whole thing. We know. The issue is that if what you were saying is true, you have to be town. That's what I mean by mechanically cleared.
