Face to face tournaments
How do these work? How different is it playing in person from playing here? Where do you find out about such things, do you have to qualify or do they just take noobs sometimes?

Newbie questions - Civil Disorder
How does NMR differ from CD? When does CD take effect? If a player who NMR, and has a unit dislodged, is it disbanded or retreats? If it retreats, what is the rule for retreat? ie, if it has the choice for a SC or empty space, does the AI here chose the SC?

It odd that you would consider one opinion wrong.

Huh, philcore? You think that just because somebody asked for opinions, that means that other people aren't going to find your opinion inaccurate? That "opinion" is a belief that is immune from critique?

philcore (317 D(S))

No semk, opinions are always open to critique. But opinions about topics which no real answer exist, can't be wrong, only disagreed with. A thread about the meaning of life is such a topic.

philcore (317 D(S))
17 Jul 13 UTC
Now a thread about which gun GZ should carry, while still looking for opinions, can actually produce wrong opinions, because they are opinions about some that has tangible facts supporting their wrongness. Gunfighter opinion about Glock is a good example.

Maybe it boils down to this ... My opinions can't be wrong, only disagreed with, but others' opinions can be wrong if I disagree with them :-P

"But opinions about topics which no real answer exist, can't be wrong, only disagreed with."

To disagree with something is to consider it wrong.

The point of life is to reproduce and survive as individuals and as a species.
It seems like this wouldn't really touch on the more emotional and abstract yearnings of the mind because life goes way beyond just reproducing and surviving. But such natural views of the world and life can really shape up to become someone's belief.

Essentially the book I'm writing. Consider cultural evolution - your kids could grow up to hate you or you could raise an adopted child with your values. Reproduction isn't just about DNA. Diogenes, Socrates, Napoleon, all live on culturally, even if not genetically.

Genetics followed by cultural Memetics. Where the basic unit of information is confusing and vaguely defined?

Memetics isn't the same as what I'm talking about ora. Kate Distin's cultural or autonomous evolution came from memetics, and I think it's a lot more accurate.

Paused game
I'm in a game (id# 119821) that got paused due to I think a server glitch for one of the players. The game was not unpaused by the mods though and it appears there are some inactive players in the game, so getting all needed unpause votes is impossible. Could a mod please unpause the game? Thanks!
