Question: Is the Imperial Senate trying to stile voters?
In a recent gallup poll, surveys discovered voters are apathetic about the upcoming elections. "I dont think we ever imagined it would come down to Jar Jar or Emperor Palpatine as our only options".

Ohio State is a solid lock to get upset today
Vegas has them as +10 favorites vs Wisconsin in Madison. Ohio State hasnt played anyone worth a crap yet. I look for a low scoring game, Wisconsin wins 17-13.

Would anyone be interested in a Diplomacy Stream?
I recently got the version of Diplomacy published by Paradox Interactive (the studio that made Europa Universalis and similar games) working on my pc. I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in watching me stream a game or two vs the AI at some point (with commentary)?

Why no messages setting option?
Why is aviable the no messages setting? I think is against the essence of the game, that's diplomacy. Nevertheless this option is very common. I think Diplomacy without diplomacy is like basketball without basket (or ball if you prefer). What do you think about it?

Question of Electoral Ethics
For the district where I'm registered to vote, the US representative seat is only being sought by one person. By Oklahoma state statute, unopposed candidates don't even appear on the ballot, nor is there the opportunity to write-in a candidate. Do you think the name of unopposed candidates should be printed on the ballot?

Full Press Explanation
I searched the rules and the faq. I may be dense. I cannot find an explanation of what full press means. Also, is it illegal to send a PM to one of the players in a game if the players are not anonymous? For example, if I see the deadline ticking down and my ally hasn't put in orders, may I send her a PM to alert her that she might miss the turn?

"we do have a collective responsibility"

HOLD UP HOLD UP HOLD UP

you can't just make that claim and not back it up. proof. Why should i care about others? why? why does that benefit me? My job is to make babies, and provide for my babies, and this is detracting from that.

Why should the simple fact that i'm in a system where we agree that there should be law and order, I ALSO have to provide for other's?

make the claim, back it up

Impossible. They live in China, where there is pretty much no social security, There is, on the other hand, a law forcing children to take care of their parents financially and emotionally.

"I think we do deserve to help fund our elderly's retirement and medicare."

If they're "fit", then they should have made investments in their youth. Those who have should be rewarded for it as opposed to those who spend all their money and can take no consequences for their irresponsibility due to social security.

ah, i see you're thoughts. I SEE YOUR MIND

but taxation is for everyone's beneficial good through material things: roads, postal service, military.

Healthcare was never an initial rite, don't forget. In prior years it was a family structure, but nowadays grandparents don't generally live with the family.

the destruction of the classical family system could be argued brought out the need for healthcare

Brain, you don't get to pick and choose which parts of Congressionally allocated funds you have to bear. That is why the American population should care about electing dependable representatives and legislators as opposed to simply electing a POTUS and not caring otherwise.

@leon1122

the original intentions behind the second amendment were to prevent governmental tyranny.

could pistols do that? no bullet penetration
shotguns? to close range
hunting rifles? maybe... but not likely effective
THIS IS THE ARGUING SPACE
assault rifles? definite yes.

you need to remember that even if the government sends people out to fight, guerrilla warfare is effective.

if they send tanks, they'll only be effective in cities, and tanks NEVER move without infantry support. Tanks as a part of modern military strategy are extremely ineffective from defending attacks without infantry support.

they probably won't do mass bombing, which is the only sure-fire way to stop a resistance. why not mass bomb? they'll be destroying their own resources.

Nuclear weapons are a massive overtip of the balance.

saying that citizens should have nuclear bombs today, is like saying citizens should be allowed private armies in 1776. Militia's were always regulated so if you try to make that argument then you're wrong there.

@JamesYanik

Even mass bombing wasn't enough in Vietnam.

You're right that nuclear bombs may be unnecessary today, but future technological developments could necessitate citizens to own more advanced weapons to prevent tyranny.

"Leon is trolling. Nobody is this stupid. Maybe Sbyvl, but otherwise, no. Everyone move on."

Whose Sbyvl?

Unranked games have counted towards GR
Hey just wanted you guys to know that GR has been broken for a while now, with unranked games being counted towards GR since it's been integrated.

Do not worry, I've already contacted the mods, and they are working feverishly to fix the problem and it should be fixed by the next GR update, but I felt that all of you should know. Hold on one second while I get my proof for this.
