planes and air travel
So i was thinking that it would be really cool to have a way to add an air force into this game and i think ive got a way. air forces would be units with long ranges. Of travel however they would only be able to support or "convoy" a unit

What is the point in gunboat games?
I have played a live gunboat on classic, after I managed to contain myself for a long time of participating in such an event because I could not imagince such an arrangement to be funny. And indeed, without the option to plot against your foes (and friends, of course...well mostly your friends) this game just misses so much.

I am white, and white people can totally be racist. I'm a white man and I recognise my privilege. I do my best to act mindfully.

I simply object to the idea that it's funny or entertaining to accuse me of racism for no reason in a public forum.

You created a thread based on making entertainment out of shit-talking another poster. Then DO made the exact same shit-talk in your direction and you got pissy about how 失礼 DO was. Then you made that 'Congo' katakana slip, which is my best guess at what precipitated DO's racism remark, and then you went off from there. And then DO trolled the fuck out of you. All of these were shitty things. Frankly, I don't regard the racism remark as especially shitty against that background (which also included me calling you an idiot and sarcastically complimenting your Japanese). If you can't deal with people insulting you for dubious entertainment value, maybe don't make or participate in threads insulting people for dubious entertainment value.

@ Lethalogica: "You created a thread based on making entertainment out of shit-talking another poster."

I didn't intend Brainbomb any offence. Brainbomb and I have settled any differences we might previously have had and our recent exchanges have been friendly. If Brainbomb found the OP offensive then I apologise (but I don't get that impression). Whereas, DemonOverlord clearly set out to troll me in a way I find quite upsetting. I don't think it's acceptable to call someone a racist as a "joke".

And, what, you and DO previously had a history of strife and mutual hatred that justified you in attributing the most uncharitable motives possible to DO's comments? Once the bar has been set at 'jokingly insulting each other', the bar for 'jokingly calling each other racist' is in the same league. The major initial difference is in how you imputed motives, rather than in the actual quality of the joking insults. Of *course* you're just joking around and brainbomb knows that because you're such pals, but DO, no, DO's out to get you! Except, wait, it was a joke like yours...but no, *DO's* joke was unacceptable vicious trolling, because DO's out to get you! You haven't been going after Octavious for the same joke, because after all, *he's* not out to get you, DO is!

And then DO *actually* trolled you for it. Which is the part of DO's behavior *I* think was over the line, insofar as this forum has lines to begin with (cue Al complaining about forum moderation). The "haha can't you take a joke obviously you're *actually* <insult>" shtick is so tired and stupid, and it marks the point where the jokester *cannot* be aiming for mutual amusement and is instead simply infuriating her target by attacking him, whether out of bemusement at his taking offense, or simply for shits and giggles.

5 on 5 Challange
I am looking for five friends that would be willing to challenge a group of my friends on a five on five game. It is more of a strategic game and not a emotional backstabbing game when you play in just two teams. If interested just post on here or pm me. If you don't have a group of five friends who play you could try to create a group through this thread.
For all who are brave enough.
