"Shut Down" Bullshit by Obama
If we don't Federal Workers to man the WWII memorial...how come we have enough to pay the guards to put up barricades and stand guard to prevents WWII vets from visiting? How come Obama still seems to have staff at his *golf course*?

Seems Barrack Dickhead Obama has a very selective vision of what "shut down" means...

DEBT CEILING NEGOTIATIONS
If nobody has ever negotiated on the Debt Ceiling, as Obama and the intellectually vacant around here say, …then how did we get Sequestration after the Debt Ceiling negotiations in 2011. Sequestration was *Obama’s* plan, by the way.

How very little intellectual integrity exists within you morally perverted Democrats…

Rank Questions
So how long does a player remain a Political Puppet and then move on to Member, Experienced, etc?

Is it a matter of how long you've played or how many times you've won or drawn? Or is it just based on time spent on the site? Just curious. Thanks for your help....

was lincoln great for our elite?
bill still seems to think the elite wanted to divide america so lincoln was a problem for them. but i am not so sure. lets say he did not declare war on the south and let the south kick out the norths military from their territory, would that have really benefited them much?

Fog of war variant
Correct me if there is already one, but wouldn't it be cool to have a variant with 'fog of war'? You would only be able to see enemy units in territories neighbouring your own territory/armies. The uncertainty would make things very interesting.. perhaps with additional distance limitations on conversation as well

Ill play. But I am poor.

As an aside, I don't yet care for granting points for SCs in a survival. But I may just not get the incentive.

And to clarify, final round gives no points to draws--it's just solos then SC. Not sure how I feel about that, but I'm leaning towards nifty.

Why not make the matches @35 per player (I personally would prefer 50 or 75), and make the pot 10% of your entry points (or a higher %), with a max contribution? No reason to make it a fixed amount for all. More than one player should partake in the super pot - maybe top three of the final 7? Maybe 65/25/10?

I like the top 3 take home cash idea, but 5 bet games allows the remainder to be take home cash for the big winners,

I can bet up to 1000
Was doubting to react.

Truth is, I would love to play. I'm new here (but experienced player), so my GR is infinity and my bet is ultralow. But I would be willing to spend all my points on this tourney, so depending on how much of my points come loose before the tourney starts, I'm looking at a max bet of about 150.

I do see the attraction of high payout though, so I'll decline if I'm the only one dragging it down.
josunice (3702 D(S))
30 Jan 13 UTC
I suggest at least @30 a match. But if the intention is to be more inclusive, I suggest again that the pot be for the top three winners and be a percentage of your points (20%?) up to a max of say @1,000 -- this would make it much more inclusive. This would require at least @262 D to enter, but make it interesting for richer players in the size of the pot (though not interesting for @Splitdiplomat with his 5-digits <GRIN>).

I would be into even higher entries, say @75+ a game WTA (@656 to enter), but this is your show, @Lando.
Gen. Lee (7588 D(B))
30 Jan 13 UTC
Its like the NCAA tourney, when my team made the Sweet 16, 2 years ago we put a banner up in the arena and celebrated our bragging rights even though we didn't come home with the Final 4/Nat'l Cship.
@josunice _ appreciate the feedback, however, I do not intend to give any reward for a good showing in a single game beyond a split of the 35 D. This is a tournament so rewards are to be distributed based on showing in the tourney as whole. in my opinion, to win a game inr ound 1 and lose the rest should net you a loss of all your bet. Likewise, getting to the finals without a solo shouldn't cause you to lose your points to the people who have won the odd game and ultiamtely lost out.

The way the points will work will depend on who has signed up, I explained briefly my idea and I welcome feedback. I will use this to create a system from there. However, I am not sure if asking the richer players to contribute more is particularily fair. I will take this suggestion though and I am wondering what other think of it.
