The Masters Round 5
Emails are going out tonight, so check your inboxes in the morning. Let's have this round start in a timely manner :)

Also, those who volunteered to sub, just touch base with me. I have enough for this round, but I have this nagging feeling that I'm forgetting someone...

Why R U Yanks so hung up on race?
Race seems to come into everything you do.Evidence: the Zimmerman threads here. Why is the colour of a man's skin seem to be the most important to you all, rather than his character?

Democrats Hate Women?
There are a couple prominent Democrats in the news recently doing foul things towards women...and have been prominent Democrats in the past (4 examples to follow). The party line response? SILENCE. Funny, the White House openly speaks about all sorts of race issues...but on Sexual abuse by Democrats...silence. Do DEMOCRATS HATE WOMEN?

One last game?
In a fit of 'big headedness', I'm asking the community I've been playing Diplomacy with for some time now whether or not I should commit to an ultimate game before I leave this site. More info inside.

I will be leaving this site. The atmosphere isn't doing it for me anymore. I am tempted to try to play an ultimate game, just one: non-anon, 48 h. phases, full press, points relative to the players who would like to play.

Let's see how this goes!

As for muting...such a childish way of dealing with things you don't like, instead of manning up and confronting arguments you disagree with. I suppose you and Cach are the sort that, as children, would pick up your toy and go home instead of sharing if something happened that rubbed you the wrong way, instead of dealing with it. But such is modern society....where our demented Liberal social constructs teach people that they should seek to be offended at every turn, and to block their ears and scream and shout foul whenever their petty emotions are ruffled. A sad and pathetic state of being, you and Cach and the like live in. I truly pity you.

And if Cach has me muted...then it isn't me that has has caused him to leave. It must be his "friends" such as you that are making the place so unpleasant to him.

Bravo for being such an unpleasant turd that even your friend is running away! Bravo!
Cachimbo (1181 D)
08 Jul 13 UTC
Nah... takes a lot for me to mute someone. I can ignore Krellin just fine, but telling him I was muting him made it that much more easy to avoid the desire to reply to his stuff.

Plus, when the guy was down and out and telling people about his troubles, a year or two ago, I tried to say a few supporting words and defended him against haters. Just because of that, I feel like muting him now would be wrong and contradictory.

It's not just the threads you know... It's also the weird spirit of competition. I keep hearing that the quality of players is better here than elsewhere. Though I can't verify that, I'd still believe that it just might be right. I guess I've had my fill of some attitudes and I really miss playing the game just for fun. Getting 7 guys on this site to do that has become increasingly harder. And as I find myself with less and less time to dedicate to these games, I'm thinking I just might prefer try my luck elsewhere or leave the game altogether, for a while at least.

As for points... No: I will not make it an "all or nothing". I want a game that will be pleasant if I'm to play it again, and that means making sure that any person can play regardless of GR or dip points. As it is, two or three names have caught my eyes. I'll write people personally when I decide to create the game. I'm not doing this here for press and attention. I'm doing this here because I'd like to say goodbye to a few people who would likely not join in this game and whom I would have trouble reaching one by one.

Thanks for the hate Krellin! It's fun to think you're taking time out of your day just for me!

Cach -- I don't hate you actually. I don't hate anyone around here -- how could I? I don't know you? But I do enjoy ruffing the feathers of those around here with demented, utopian ideologies.


As for your past supporting words...I thank you. It is those supporting words of you and Draug and others that truly helped...been clean for quite a while a while now, actually.

Anyway -- whatever your reasons for leaving...I do wish you luck, even if I'm here busting your balls. Have a good life....and....you know it's true...you'll be back....which is another reason I freely mock you at this time.
JECE (1248 D)

Cachimbo: Everyone needs to take a break from the site at some point, ha ha. The games take up much more time out of the day than you realize.
Cachimbo (1181 D)
08 Jul 13 UTC
That was a far more interesting read, Krellin!

As I am, also, in a process of ... hmmm... of cleaning up my life and taking better care of myself, I fear that this decision is not only the right one but also quite definitive. So I would certainly not pass the occasion to throw more spit in my direction while you can! If you want, I'll send you a pm with easy targets about me. For example: did you know I'm a redhead? No joke!

Though the decision is firm, my last game (if there should be one) will keep me around a bit longer, will it not? So make sure you don't spit it all in one shot, or you might find yourself dry when the hour is ripe for more!
Cachimbo (1181 D)
08 Jul 13 UTC
I barely play anymore JECE... and for that very reason.

This decision was a long time coming. I've discussed it with other players, and I'm sure it's the right one. I have tons of respect for more people than I could name here. It's absolutely not directed at any one person, not even Draug or Krellin!!! And certainly not MM, though my insisting on it like that coupled with our recent "bout" might say otherwise.

Manslaughter
I didn't follow the Martin/Zimmerman case too closely (mostly because the media turned it into a politically-charged circus, as they do most everything they latch onto), and while the stand-your-ground law is plain stupid, he was not guilty of murder under the law. However, I don't understand why he wasn't guilty of manslaughter.
