"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…

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

I think we cross posted but mine is more accurate.

josunice (3702 )
20 Mar 13 UTC

gameID=110230... So I tried my best to cut out Italy, but couldn't swing it. Nice and annoying defense there Ava. As it stands, Germany with the backed up builds could have broken through and if I followed through with killing Italy, France would have been free to break though and I would have been at the whim of France and Germany... Did I wait to long too strike? Was it salvageable? Germany should have gone on the offensive when I mistakenly backed off.

josunice (3702 )
20 Mar 13 UTC

gameID=110234... Advice guys... If Germany retreats to allow Italy to take Brest and Paris, would Turkey cut out Russia? Or would everyone be annoyed at having to wait around a few more years? If we weren't already a late bracket I might of held on a bit longer.... By the way, do you see where I missed a chance for a solo? It seemed so teasingly close when I got as far as Mars....

rdrivera2005 (3533 )

Just want to point we have an error on the points on group D. I think someone counted 4

instead of 3 for a 4-way draw. I should have 9.4 pointd (one 3-way, one 4-waymand one 5-way draws). And seems there are errors on the other players too.

Mapu (362 )

Maybe you should post an updated Group D summary then? I will update Group B now.

Guys, wtf? It aint over till the fat lady sings. No solo yet in Group D. And no commenting on ongoing games. Declaring a solo is a bit too much like commenting for me.

It could have been worse, but that was probably a more flagrant violation than anything else that's happened. Why couldn't you just put "ongoing" next to the ongoing games....

AlexNesta (239 )

I think Nigee deserves at least a warning from the mods. Not only was it against the tournament rules, but also against the general site rules.

josunice (3702 )

Here here Gen Lee! +1 from me, since you will be ignored by the active post-er-nicks! I took a stab at posting a few games with a couple of notes, but maybe I need to sprinkle a "fucktards" and wife jabs in my EoGs...

CSteinhardt (9560 )
20 Mar 13 UTC
(+1)

Well, Nigee made a post about an ongoing game he is a player in as part of a tournament he is a player in, and a post that potentially influences the game. Claiming that a solo is imminent when a game is not ended yet is considered a common late-game press tactic designed to influence how players see the board, and I say that independently of whether in this case a solo is or isn't imminent (I don't want to comment on the veracity of Nigee's claim until the game has ended).

CSteinhardt (9560 )
20 Mar 13 UTC

Game 5 in Group C has ended in a 3-way draw. For those of you keeping score at home, in the five group C games finished (where the players have been revealed), I've been Italy three times and Russia twice. Hooray for random draws!

yebellz (729 )
20 Mar 13 UTC

Nigee: Please do not discuss ongoing gunboat games. That is a clear violation of site rules regarding the circumvention of press limitations.

Since I'm also a participant in this tournament, I'll pass this onto another moderator to consider. In the meantime, for everyone else, please do not make cheating accusations in the forum and direct any rule violation concerns directly to the moderator team and/or tournament director.

Draugnar (0 )
20 Mar 13 UTC

I didn't accuse him. I stated a fact. Can you deny it was a fact? You have just confirmed it *as* a fact yourself. So bugger off. He does it again and I will do the same thing again. And if you silence me for it, then fuck you, asshole. He posted about an ongoing gunboat series he was participating in. Nigee made it clear he thought certain games would end in certain ways, games that *were not* over yet. No accusation required. That was a blatant fucking violation and the bastard should be docked points for it!
