Anyone else having the script timeout issues when selecting moves, specifically around convoys and choosing whether an army is moving via land or convoy. If I stop script and try and save I get: "Parameter 'fromTerrID' set to invalid value '139'." gameID=54116

This Time On Philosophy Weekly: A Socialist, Fascist, and Elitist Walk Into A Bar...
A bit of an offshoot from an earlier discussion a few days ago, wherein Socialism was examined ...well, needless to say I don't care for it, but I know Putin33 is, perhaps, our leading Socialist "voice" on the forum, and Fasces our leading proponent of Fascism, and I champion for a Republican Meritiocracy...any and all others are welcome--a break from the Royal Wedding and Bin Laden talk...Round Table Chat, anyone? ;)

The Penultimate Diplomacy Player from History
Nominate your own or discuss the current list.

I'll start by nominating Napolean Bonaparte. Skilled diplomate, ruthless military strategist. Escaped from more than one tight spot and was well liked by people who should have known better and were screwed because of it.

Is there anything I can do if webdiplomacy is not displaying up to date information? It tells me I need to move but when I get to the game we are still waiting for someone else, tells me I have a new message but when I get there, there is no new message, showing old games in the top bar...stuff like that. Thanks

Transhumanism and the Death of Osama Bin Laden
As a transhumanist, I find even Osama's death tragic. The most beautiful thing in the world - the complexity and brilliance of a human mind, was ended today. And it may have been necessary. It may have been just. But that doesn't make it any less tragic. A human being, misguided as he may have been, but a human being nonetheless, with feelings, thoughts, and desires was murdered today.

@Putin - you don't know anything about my character. In fact, as I read this forumn thread, I see that *most* people here think you are a fool. My character is what? Disagreeing with you? Oh...I admit that I make comments that inflame some people some times. For example, I suggested Obama attacked Pakistan because he grew up in India for part of his youth. Obviously this is absurd....it is an irony that I *thought* someone with such a big brain like you could grasp without having to have the entire humor of it explained to you. I guess you probably have difficulty with knock-knock jokes, too. Putin, you just need to grow up, little boy, and get over yourself.

As a post-Malvorkian transrelativist my only question is when did the IRA win Irish independence?

I know it's cool to play devil's advocate but .. jeeeeeez louise.. he helped kill a lot of people and now he's dead. There a lot of more deserving people to mourn/protect if the tragic loss of a single human mind is so terrible

Putin finds it rather enteraining to impugn others at his whim. I'd be interested to know how he would react standing toe to toe with suicide bomber about blow shit up..
krellin (80 DX)
02 May 11 UTC
To the primary point of the post: It is always tragic when a human being stops...I get the point....but sometimes it is absolutely necessary for the greater good of all. Stopping that one human being may save countless others, and therefore by any rational philosophy concerned about the good of humanity, it was a good thing.

Putin is one of the last standing communists....so, you have to understand, he's a little bitter about things not working out for him...ANYWHERE...Imagine openly professing loyalty to a form of government that has been an abject failure everywhere it was tried, and yet not being able to grasp that truth and change your mind. THAT is a look into the mind of Putin. Rational thinking does *not* exist there...

Putin, maybe you should grab yourself a little dictionary and look the word up...then look at your posts, not just here but everywhere. I admit, I impugn people like you. It isn't always such a bad thing. But if you can't actually grasp that you DO impugn people...again, I guess rational thinking just does not reside within you.
krellin (80 DX)
02 May 11 UTC
@Putin - it isn't your thread to allow or not allow to be hijakced. Also, thank you for just impugning me, without actually wanting to address anything I have said, or acknowledge that, yes, I was making (perhaps a lame) attempt at humor with my previous comments. Admit that you are just an angry, failed communist and I'll go away....lol
Putin33 (111 D)

"who lied about his affiliations with groups on the US Terrorism list."

That's not true but I wouldn't expect any different from slime like you, Draugnar. For one I didn't have to sign the document because I'm grad student, you dipshit. And for two I wouldn't have lied anyway because I have no affiliations with groups on that list.

You're such a hypocrite. You personally malign me without proof and knowingly make false slanderous statements about me but think everything is a damned conspiracy unless you see the evidence firsthand. This is why you should never make any comments about your personal life on ridiculous web forums like this, because of the psychopathic Draugnars of the world who will make up shit about you life and use it to spread rumors about you.

President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan;
President Musharraf of Pakistan;
Oliver North
Dale Watson, the head of the FBI’s counterterrorism unit;
Both pakistani and Israeli intelligence services

fox news and the new york times.

I mean... really though. How long can you survive on dialysis? esp when you are in the last stages of kidney failure ten years ago (video early dec 2001)

and not one of pakistans desperately poor people turned him in for the 25 million reward?

At the very least, I think the new reports of his death should be treated as suspect

While I agree Maple and TMW are off the wall, I believe their style is quite different. It's a good thought...perhaps instead of being on-and-the-same, they all share...well....how shall we say...."intimacies"...

02 May 11 UTC
Ok, krellin and draug, you guys are hitting below the belt. As much as Putin angers me, and propagates his communist drivel; personal attacks against him invalidate anything of value you have to say and ensure you remove your voice from the debate.

@Sicarius -- I agree, Sic, particularly with the dumping of the body, no release of photos (as was done with other big time kills in the past...) The whole thing is HIGHLY suspect by a President with plummeting ratings, who has lied about much in the past, and needed an excuse to interrupt Celebrity Apprentice. (Putin...please, that last item was a JOKE....OK? Get it?)
Sicarius (673 D)
02 May 11 UTC
Invictus, do you say 'of course you do' because you think I'm ready to jump on any conspiracy theory that paints US government in a negative light? Sometimes my anti-americanism fogs my vision a bit I admit, but its not like the US government is an entity that has earned much trust. Just a quick look at history will show you. I mean... fuck, MK ultra, operation northwoods etc. its a very long list.
You think perhaps I'm naiive for questioning? I think perhaps people who swallow whatever comes over the newswire with no second thoughts are naiive.

I'm not making any conlusions about this, I just think there is enough discrepancies to warrant at least some questioning

(sort of) quick question
Just wondering about something. If you try to cut support, but the unit whose support you are trying to cut is support held by another unit (only one though) will support still be cut? For example, if Burgundy support holds Belgium, and Belgium support moves Ruhr into Holland, and I try to move from North Sea into Belgium, will Belgium's support move be stopped or not?
