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?

RACISM IS ACTIONS. Let's discuss that, dumbass.

Here, let me break it down to you siply, dumbass, in terms that you understand.

As with any heartless jackass, when against the ropes you like to take cheap shots....so earlier so tried to imply I was drunk - because I have openly admitted my problem with alcohol to this community - something I do not deny.

OK....so every day and alcoholic gets up and there is a posibility he or she will see something, have something happen - whatever, some trigger that will make him or her want to drink. OK...fine...this is alcoholism.

BUT....BUT....here's the big thing, dumbass...so listen closely...the alcoholism is ONLY A PROBLEM IF YOU ACT ON IT.

See that...ACTION. I can't remove the desire to drink -- it's a part of me. What I do, though, is I DON'T ACT.

You say "racism isn't actions...is systemic, blah blah blah." I don't even know what the fuck that means....it's just Liberal claptrap....it's meaningless bullshit that you spew so that you can declare a problem for which THERE IS NO SOLUTION.

The laws are in place, the SYSTEM is actually designed to be as fair as is legally possible. The SYSTEM is not racist. Period. End of discussion. Why? Because the system, structurally, legally, has eradicated racism and sexism, such that if you commit an act of racism or sexism and get caught, you face legal repurcussions.

Racism ONLY exists, therefore, as the ACTIONS OF INDIVIDUALS.

i know this is difficult for you to grasp....it's especially difficult for you to grasp *because* you spend your daily walk dwelling on racism and apparently surrounding yourself with people that ACT on their racism.

I do not.

Racism is an action, Thucy, not some undefinable, nebulous feeling that you have.

If a judge convicts more blacks than white, then examine him and throw his ass out of office. That isn't a system problem...that's a fucking JUDGE problem.

But....more often that not...it's actually a cultural problem within the black community.

Let's examine murder rates....blacks are 13.1% of the population, but commit 50
5 of the murders. This isn't a skewed racist stat....it's just a fact.

So maybe the problem there is such a high conviction rate among blacks is because THEY KEEP COMMITING FUCKING CRIMES.

Blessed little Trayvon Martin WAS A CRIMINAL. HE smoked pot, and he was thrown out of school on multiple occassions for the ILLEGAL ACTIVITY OF FIGHTING. He was a CRIMINAL. Tell this to a Liberal....YOU...and you will say "No he's not" and bury your head in the sand. When you are finally forced to admit that he was a criminal....you then excuse his criminal behavior and say it wasn't his fault, it was his upbringing. This is *exactly* what President Hussein Obama did...he gave a speech and said if there is violence in the black community, he said it is societies fault...because of their history...blah blah blah...they are **excused** for being crimninals. THAT is Racist Liberalism at its very finest.

Instead of HOLDING INDIVIDUALS ACCOUNTABLE....you fucktards want to say everhyone (except white men...) is innocent of whatever they do, because "society made them do it".

You're a fucking moron...and everything you say is jibberish.

Alcoholics DRINK....it is an ACTION we do that gets us in trouble. If I fantasize about alcohol all day long but never put the bottle to my lips, I win, and that day I am not an alcoholic offending the world. It is ONLY when I ACT that I become a problem.

Racism is the same.

And again...I will point out....another item you REFUSE to acknowledge...is that you RACIST LIBERALS CONSTANTLY STIR THE POT. It doesn't matter what you see, you will cry racism before the facts are in. THEN, instead of saying, "Well, that one guy...he was racist, but you can't call everyone racist because of one guy's actions", you instead say, "That one guy is racist...EVERYONE IS RACIST!!" aND THEN INSTEAD OF SAYING let's be calm and talk it out, let's see how we can prevent this inthe future and not hate, you INSTEAD say, "No, poor unequal minority...BE PISSED!! YOU'VE BEEN HARMED AND CAN NEVER WIN!! BE ANGRY AN HATE EVERYONE THAT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE YOU!!!

LIBERALS CREATE MORE RACISM every time they open their mouths. You se it everywhere, and when you don't have any evidence it exists, you create the evidence and scream racism as loud as you can until finally some takes the bait and starts throwing insults.

You are repulsive. You are a breeder of hatred.

Funny, you have no problem indiciting this group or that group. You hae no problem using a broad paint brush when it suits your needs.

Thucy = Liberal -> No personal accountability, Racism is not an action, racism is a nebulous "systemic" problem and everyone is at fault and it can only be discovered by studies and statistics which assume that all jobs, all options in society must be equally participated in by every race and gender option.

Krellin = Conservative -> Everything is about Personal Responsibility, and racism is an action by an individual. The legal and busines structure of the United States of America has *outlawed* racism and sexism, and if instances of racism and sexism occur in the worlplace or any other place where they occur, it is an *individual* action that should be dealt with on an individual instance. IN cases where it can be demonstrated that a corporation has a written policy - I doubt it exists in 2013 - that is racist, that company shall be forced to change, and those harmed compensated and the individuals specifically at fault should be punished. Racism is an personal action, and individuals are accountable for their own actions.

"You say "racism isn't actions...is systemic, blah blah blah." I don't even know what the fuck that means....it's just Liberal claptrap....it's meaningless bullshit that you spew so that you can declare a problem for which THERE IS NO SOLUTION."

This is unfortunate because I have spilled gallons of ink attempting to explain it.

I will use your alcoholism example:

Think of the body as an institution. An alcoholic's body has a predisposition to want to drink and to abuse alcohol. It is systematized. Even if the alcoholic finds himself in the Empty Quarter of Saudi Arabia, he wants a drink more than a non-alcoholic.

Such is the nature of the system.

An alcoholic is more vulnerable to abusing alcohol than a non-alcoholic. Just as an obese person is more vulnerable to heart attack.

This is what is meant by a system.

Now in our society-wide system, we see similar patterns, vulnerabilities, and injustices. Black men are more likely to be jailed, ALL OTHER THINGS BEING EQUAL (this is the important part - to remind you, all other things being equal except alcoholism, the alcoholic is more vulnerable to abusing alcohol).

This is injustice. This is the systemic problem. That was one single example. There are many more. But really, need I bring more than just that? Should not that be enough to cause all the citizenry to react? Should not that be enough to notice there is a racism in our system?

This is what is meant by systemic racism. It is talking about underlying patterns. So, you stress action.

But when you have a disease, for instance, that creates a system whereby you are more vulnerable to committing violent crime - some form of insanity, let's say - should you be held as responsible as you would have been otherwise, without such a condition?

So it is with race - if a black person is poor, we should not react in exactly the same way to that poverty as to a white person who is poor? Why is this? Because, due to the history of the world, there is a legacy of black poverty descended from direct oppression and slavery. Black people are more vulnerable to poverty in the world today and are indeed more poor than white people for a very specific reason - the racist way history has unfolded.

And obviously every moment in history from five seconds ago to five hundred years ago has an inextricable impact on the realities of today.

Lastly, your statements address only legal, political, and economic spheres. What of social and cultural spheres? Do these somehow not matter to you? Do you deny that these affect the other spheres, including politics and economics?

Yes, equal opportunity is written into the law, thank God. But what of your treatment when you shop at a department store? What of your treatment at a five-star restaurant? Do you sincerely believe that my experience at an art museum would be identical to that of a black guy my age who dressed in streetwear?

If you are honest enough to admit that people are treated quite differently in the social sphere based on race, are you not also honest enough to admit that this matters, that these things do affect behavior, both the behavior of those discriminated against, and those doing the discriminating? And what of mass media, which draws from these everyday experiences and standardizes them into cultural tropes broadcast across the world?

Could these things possibly explain convictions of black men by white juries? And other systemic racial issues like that?

And krellin, is this really necessary?

"Don't being a fucking disengenuous retard and pretend you have no idea what fucking Liberalism means. God damn, you lack of intellectual integrity is so blatant and pathetic it isn't even funny."

Words like these only make these discussions filled with anger. It's because of words like these that I was an asshole to you for months and never wrote more than a few lines. I didn't take you seriously because you were so full of hate.

I realize I was wrong to do that, and that even you should be given a chance, but come on. At least try to reciprocate. Just once, try to make a mellow post that doesn't contain a slur like "retard."

Thucy - to start with the last comment - yes, it *was* necessary.

Now, to your alcoholism story...you are wrong. Alcoholism isn't a system, Thucy...it is something I *do*. If I do not drink then I have beat the alcoholism. I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR MY ACTION....MY ******ACTION******....whether I drink or not drink. When I do fail, when I do drink, it is not the failure of a system it is the failure of MY ACTIONS.

HIllarious....you yourself, fucktard, are trying to say "it's the system that's alcoholic"....and yet, even at that, since you see it as a systemic problem, and not a problem of my CHOICE OF ACTIONS....even at that, you still will assualt me and insult me and try to belittle me for something you see as a systemic failure, not a personal choice.

That tells us a little bit more about the type of person YOU are.

ME? I take responsibility for MY ACTION. I could give a guck about my system. The only thing that matter today...tomorrow...and the next day is whether I make the personal choice to drink or not drink.

You don't understand alcoholism any better than you understand THE PERSONAL CHOICE OF ACTING RACIST.

Racism is AN ACTION. It isn't a system. If it were a system, then *everyone* within the system would be racist, and everyone within the system would act racist.

You can keep spewing your nonsensical, sky-high, the system is at fault (and therefore my actions are not my responsibility...) bullshit all you want.

And the result of your "it's the system that's racist" ideology is this: The Zimmerman case became violent riots, became blacks attacking whites and hispanics on the street across this country because "the system" is racist, and nobody is personally responsible, and their violence is EXCUSED by fuckwads like you who see them as mindless automatons who have no choice but to exercise violence


JUST ONCE I want you to strap on a pair of balls, man up, and say "each individual is 100% responsibile for his or her OWN ACTIONS"

Just once....tell me, please, that you are man enough to own up to your own personal actions.

AND...if YOU are man enough to own up to your own personal actions....then take this next simple step: Stop being such an arrogant, superior white male, who is accountable for his own actions, but who has disdain for all the people around him. If YOU are accountable 100% for you own actions, then take the next step and say EVERYONE is responsible for his or her own actions -- NO excuses, period.

And then....follow me...I know this is tough...if EACH INDIVIDUAL is accountable for his or her won actions....then racism is individual, not systemic.

Tell me *exactly*, if my asertion is not true, how "a system" composed of individual making individual choices is at fault. If EACH person is accountable to live right, then how is the system at fault?

See...unlike you, I don't need a "system" to tell me how to do right and wrong. I have a conscience, guided by the shreds of my religious faith, and a founding principle as a society that informs me that all humans are equal...and this guides me to do right REGARDLESS of what "the system" says. And....by the way....by THE SYSTEM...racism and sexism are openly and actively explicitely NOT allowed.

But....aside from all this...you keep categorizing, you keep blaming and accusing and excusing and YOU keep telling people to be angry and YOU keep telling people to take to the streets in violent protest....YOU keep racism alive by YOUR personal choices, and the demands you make of others to be so racially aware, and to be offended and angry whenever possible. YOU are the cause of racism, Thucy. You...personally...and everyone like you.

"Hussein Obama" is the given name of our President. Is there a problem with using the President's name? I believe I used his title as well. It seems to me at one point he himself proudly used his full name publicly - Barrack Hussein Obama - but in the name of conciseness, I choose to shorten it to just Hussein Obama. I think it is a nice name - it has a ring to it. I think using the name President Hussein Obama is a wonderful tribute to how far this country had come.

After all, we have elected a white man to the highest office of the land...of, wait...Zimmerman was half white, half Hispanic, and therefore White...for Hussein Obama is white, right?

Oh...he self identifies as Black?

Oh...OK...so anyway, what a glorious thing that our nation has elected it's first black PResident, or mulato, or whatever...anyway, and on top of that, he has a name that sounds distinctly Middle Eastern, in part, which is a wonderful thing, because our country is indeed a fair and just land...so I use this unique name in celebration of the awesome diversity of this land, which is *truly* a land of open opportunity to anyone, of any race...or races....even those from a broken home...anyone with intellect and ambition can make it to the highest office in the land...

A true testimony that the racism that ONCE ravaged this land....is just the walking dead.

A quick blow to the head whenever you encounter one of the remaining zombies and you can move on with your day...but truly, racism is a lingering relic of history in thei awesome land of opportunity!!

Look I'm going to bed and will respond in full tomorrow, but before I go, let me just say that admonitions to

"man up" and "strap on some balls"

and other such machismo nonsense falls completely flat with me. I'm comfortable enough with my masculinity not to feel the need to demonstrate it to you in some kind of ridiculous gendered macho-gesture.

Everyone is responsbile for his or her own actions, but their context must also be taken into consideration.

I suppose you believe that a schizophrenic or mentally handicapped person who kills someone else should be put to death, completely ignoring their circumstances and context. People are responsible for what they do but they are not responsible for the environment in which they live. That is the responsibility of us all.

It just strikes me as odd to refer to someone by their middle name--not a common practice in this country. And I suspected--and you confirmed--that you choose to call him that because of the racial implications of the name "Hussein," so I though it was relevant to this thread. Given your clear distaste for the man, I find your claim that it is out of respect dubious.

THUCY -- DON'T BOTHER RESPONDING IN THE MORNING.

I'll sum up your response...

"Oh...NO NO NO...I didn't noone is accountable. I, The Great And Noble White Male Thucy, *I* am responsible for my actions...you know, because I'm man enough and white enough that I can look down on the little people and be responsible for my actions. So don't rope me in to your little story....

But...it's the SYSTEM, krellin....don't you undertand? APART from me, the Great White Thucy....pretty much everyone else, like you, are just a fucktard and not *really* at fault....it's the system.....you're really just too stupid to undrstand, because you aren't me....The Great White Thucy. It's not the actions of people....because they are all just VICTIMS of the system...so...it's the system that's at fault...

Yes yes, krellin...I know we laws in place...and I know I can't identify anything we can do to change the system....because it's broke forever....so forever I will keep telling you what a racist you are....but if we could only change THE SYSTEM (I think dramatic music will start to play here....almost patriotic, but played in a minor chord so as to make is demonic...)...THE SYSTEM is at fault, and the pooor minorities and wymyns....they just can't make it unless we giv 'em a boost...and I likes givin' 'em a boost,...heh heh....and without me, they are incapable of success...because THE SYSTEM....I just can't explain it, really....but it's broke. I've got a study...

But don't worry about your actions....keep screaming RACISM RACISM in the streets and call up the troops...'cause we's gonna be marching and beating down some racists tomorrow....

Theeeeeee sun'll come out, tomorrow...tomorrow...bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow....and the borrom dollar's ALL YOU GOTS because da man is keeping you down with the system..."

@ghug - I know why krellin is using it, but the term racist keeps getting bandied about like it is synonymous with bigot. A racist is a type of bigot, but not all bigots are racist and the way krellin was using it was bigoted (even krellin knows he was being sarcastic and over the top with his reply). I just want the correct word used. Call krellin a bigot for using it, not a racist because using the name Hussein is not racist at all. Now, if Oblamer's was Kareem Abdul Jamal Obama and Krell's insisted on calling him President Kareem Abdul Jamal, *then* you could say it was a racist comment as we all know a *very* famous NBA player with that name.

Uh....your statement is incoherent babble. I don't spew racist bullshit....I openly mock and mimic the racists in our society that you like to give a pass to. Spike Lee...racist with a pass card. Obama, a racist who gets a pass card every time he acts like a racist. All the racists that called every white and hispanic person a racists and called for violence in the streets who gets a pass cards for their bad behavior. The black Hip Hop community that sings "nigger" for a profit as they push CD's onto the streets by the millions with their hate - they get a pass.

But if I say the things they say...if I use the same language they use, I'm a racist.

I *reject* your notion 100%.

I am so glad that you find my use of the word nigger offensive....because it offends the hell out of me that we have two separate languages, two separate standards in our country. There is the non-black standard that everyone of every non-black skin color is supposed to follow, where we are accountable for our actions and should not use offensive words openly...and then the Liberals of this nation have carved out a special exception for bad behavior to the black community...where you excuse their open words of hatred, your excuse their use of violent langue, you even excuse that real physical violence...and you allow them to do the things you wouldn't allow your white brother to do why? Because of their skin color. Because they are black...you think they should be helf to a LOWER standard than everyone that isn't black.

Have you hooked up their private drinking fountains yet?

If that isn't the most racist thing in the world...I wink and nudge as we hold blacks to a lower standard of morality and behavior...then I don't know what racism is.

So...instead of holding blacks to a lower standard, I have decided that in thes forums I will choose to live BY the black cultural standard that you all excuse...and if I choose to call comeone a nigger, then I get a pass....because that is the black cultural standard that YOU give a pass to.

If my actions offend you, please petition the black community leaders. When they start preaching that nigger is a bad word and banish it from the music they give awards to, then I will gladly lay the word to rest.

@phil - I'd like to be known as GeorgeBaby from now on.
I can work that 28 minutes into my daily schedule, after needlework and before my shiatsu massage, how's your diary looking?

Not Getting to 100 Points
I thought that if I finished a game and I was under 100 D, I'd be "moved" to 100 D.

I've finished a couple of games and still way down on the points - 44. Why is this?

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"?

Build a $400,000,000+ arena while you are *bankrupt*! That's great economics. Good luck getting bailed out for that one in five years.

Good read - timely and a scary future vision. Cory Doctorow's "Little Brother" Give it a read and let me know what you think. It's the modern day Orwell's "1984" and should be required reading.

Adolf Hitler was always nice to his dogs.
The race of his dogs was never considered, nor their religious beliefs.

What does it mean when there is a dash (-) instead of an double exclaimation point (!!) or check next to a player before the next turn?

Motion for a new phase length
When playing live games on maps America and Modern Europe, there is not enough time to move 20 or more units in 5 minutes. So, can there be a new phase length of 6 or 7 minutes?
