new maps, new rule
I'm guessing there was probably already discussion about this that I didn't see, but I noticed on the two new maps new builds can go anywhere. In traditional rules you can only build on your start centers. I think the traditional rule provides a better balance in the game. Why was this changed on the new maps?

Decline in the playerbase
I've noticed less players available for live games than this time last year. I didn't worry during the September slump, as I attributed that to kids going back to school. But it appears to me that the number continues to slide.

American Christians--Beware! THERE BE A WAR UPON THEE! (So Sayeth...Others)
A quick Wikipedia check puts the approximate number of Americans identifying as Christian at 70%; a Gallup poll in 2012 said 77%...let's say between 70-80%, with easily 85-90% of those in Congress Christian. States such as Texas STILL *REQUIRE* you to be Christian to run for governor. We support Intelligent Design more than any other Western nation, we argue against Evolution/Gay Rights/Atheism more than most Western nations...HOW is there a "War on Christianity," here, folks?

"...This is why lefties still strive for equality of opportunity ..."

100% FALSE. Lefties strive for Equal OUTCOME as *they* judge things should be.

That is why, for example, if a woman stays home to raise a baby, they get pissed off and claim she is brainwashed, because they want that woman in the workplace to fulfill their fucked-up version of equal OUTCOMES.

And...for the record, your example of people having talent and ambition to be King makes you truly, truly truly look like a fucktard. That's the best example you can come up with? If King were a job you applied for, I might give you a pass...but...truly...you are a fucking ignoramus. Your example demonstrates that you don't even understand the issue you are arguing.
Thucydides (864 D(B))

Let me jump in real quick:

1) I believe in equality of opportunity
2) I believe there is no inherent difference in intelligence, ability, motivation, or any other such character trait between groups such as races, religions, classes, or genders.

THUS, I believe that vastly different OUTCOMES for these groups on a predictable basis bespeaks the non-existence of so-called "equality of opportunity."

You either agree with me, or you disagree with one of my two suppositions. Up to you.

Ah, okay, the truth comes out.

Yes, right, I forgot. Men are naturally more ambitious than men. Races that evolved in cold climates are naturally more industrious than those that evolved in tropical climates. Christian workers are more honest than Jewish workers.

Your line of thinking has been used to justify oppression since at least the Middle Ages. It's time to give it up or hurry up and die. Please don't teach your children your poisonous, unethical, and inegalitarian value system.

It's amusing to watch the Noble White Male Liberal pick apart every race, gender, religion, etc and tell them ALL that they will *never8 succeed on their merits of their own power unless the Noble White Male Liberal rushes in to save them.

Wow...what a fucking God complex your fucktard Liberals have...

Maybe you should start thinking of and treating people as equals, instead of always judging who needs your Noble White Male Liberal help to succeed.

You are a repugnant human being.

No thucy -- your diatribe was not an example of Poes Law at all. You *truly* believe that no woman, non-white, religious person can EVER succeed with the Noble White Male Liberal to guide them to success....as YOU define it...

Do go on, Draugnar. Explain to me how, if there were truly equality of opportunity, and all groups were equally capable of capitalizing on said opportunity, that there would be systematic and predictable differences between the groups?
Thucydides (864 D(B))

You're either:

1) Inegalitarian, or
2) Wrong if you think anything that resembles equality of opportunity exists for non-dominant demographics.
krellin (80 DX)
23 Jul 13 UTC
Thucy - you haven't a shred of moral decency in you. I've seen many suggestions of various perversions and deviancies and "whatever feels good do it" attitudes from you, though.

and that's ON TOP of your *utter* disdain for women and non-whites, whom you view as *vastly* inferior to yourself, and unable to be successful in life without you.

You make good men and women want to vomit.

Since I want to be absolutely clear for anyone with a brain that might read this, your find self excluded of course:

No, I do not believe that. The successes of non-white, non-male, non-rich, non-American, etc. groups are at best in spite of my existence, and certainly not because of my efforts.

It would be a prideful fool indeed who believed such a thing.

Lol krellin you really are a piece of work.

Everything I am speaking on here regarding oppressed groups I have learned *from* those groups. Whereas everything I absorbed during my upbringing from white people I have gradually repudiated.

So if these groups are teaching me to hate them, then fine.

But somehow I'm going to take the word of a black woman over krellin's when it comes to what it is like to be a black woman, and what black women lack in American society.
krellin (80 DX)
23 Jul 13 UTC
Yes... fuck those stupid women for all the *wrong* choices they make in life. Fuck 'em...everyone should consult with Thucy or an appointed Noble Male White Liberal to get their Life Assignment before graduating high school so the the Liberal dream of Equal Outcome can be fully implemented.

Stupid women...

Funny how the Libs never seem to bitch about the racial inequities in some of the highest paid professions in the world - athletics and entertainment, where there is a disproprotianately high number of non-whites. I guess in order to make the good Libs happy we need to start firing some of those damned darkies out of professional sports! They're ruining our Equal Outcomes goal!

"Everything I am speaking on here regarding oppressed groups I have learned *from* those groups"

By all accounts, I don't think you have EVER actually talked to a real human female. I just don't see it.

I know a damned lot of them that would tell you to fuck off quite righteously when you told them how wrong their life choices were, and how unable they were to succeed in their chosen life because it didn't meet *your* criteria. And to a woman, they would *laugh their asses* off if you told them they had 100% equal career ambitions to men -- most of them laugh their asses off at how men kill themselves in the work place and die early while they do pretty much what they want to do - work, not work, come and go, etc.

"Everything I am speaking on here regarding oppressed groups I have learned *from* those groups."

Is that like the airlines being the investigators into culpability in accidents they are involved in? Or maybe the mafia being the prosecutor, judge, and jury at their own trials? Or the theme park operator also being the investigator in the theme park accident? Oh wait! That is what happens in Texas.

Pausing?
We're attempting to Pause a game as one player is gone for the weekend. However, certain players haven't checked in yet and so they haven't voted pause. The player who is leaving has left, but already voted to pause.

My question is, if the game progresses to the next phase, will the "Pause" vote reset, or will all the Pause votes stay in place unless cancelled by the voting player? Can we finish up our orders to progress to the start of the next round and then vote "Pause"?
