world game social experiment.
United Nations (Special Rules!)

It's a diplomacy match I'm setting up here to simulate the United nations. It'll be more of a role play than a match. Reply for questions!

I'm just giving you shit dude, chill. That's as much on France for never putting up any kind of resistance and never growing into anything formidable - made it easy.

You'll notice that the other finished game shares some similarities.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
13 Sep 15 UTC
For wasting three units in an endless stalemate against Italy, which prevented both of them from growing, all while watching England tear it up and never even considering a turnaround until England was already convoyed into his mainland? Nah, that's not "fine." That's the worst kind of play possible as France. He would have at the very least been able to put up a fight if not even win the fight (probably making the move first) if he had simply gotten off of Italy.

Not excusing Italy for being stupid at the end, but it never would have happened if France played "fine."

ghug (5068 D(B))

Yeah, I'm pretty grumpy with both games, but I'll stop whining now, at least publicly.

France's play was bad, but the solo wasn't really his fault.
OB_Gyn_Kenobi (888 D)

I will admit that my play was not great in that game, but I don't think it's AS bad as Bo is making it out to be. The criticism about continuing the fight against Italy in an obvious stalemate is fair enough. However, saying that I didn't back off from him soon enough in the face of England isn't that accurate. I was fighting Germany until 1906 at the same time as holding the position in the med, and actually retook Bel when England got Hol and Ber. I was trying to signal to England that we should not fight by my Bel SH Hol order in Fall 1906. At that point, England moved NTH to ENG and Kie to Ruh. I didn't expect that, I thought he would move toward Munich and into Austria, convoying his island A into Den or something. I was wrong. So in 1907, I gave up on Italy, and went back to Spa from Naf. I didn't fare well in my defense, that much is true. If you look back, Italy ordered IOS to support-hold Tunis even though there was only one unit adjacent to Tunis. I took to mean he was worried I was still looking to fight him. So I destroyed that F in 1908 to tell Italy I was on board with him coming back. Which he did. I thought Italy was moving back into the WMS to establish a stalemate in Spring and Fall of 1909, but then he moved to GOL and tried for MAO. At that point I thought Italy was just going to greedily grab centers from me to eliminate me quickly. Even now with 20/20 hindsight, I'm not sure how else I could have interpreted Italy's moves at that point. So at that point I was surely fucked if both England and Italy were attacking me, so I just got myself to Spa and held my units.

It made no sense for England not to fight you. His other alleys were closed. Why in the world would he move on Austria when he could simply go after you? I have never seen an England make a strong move against Austria, and the only typically Austrian center I consistently see a large England occupy is Rumania, but that usually won't last long.

You should have had those two fleets back in the first place, and if Italy continues to be a bother, then so be it, you have no choice but to use them, but you still stop him short in Marseilles/Spain/MAO. A competent Italy (which you didn't have, but you have to assume you do during the game) would stop there and go elsewhere, and it is clear from the beginning that his intention was to go east. You didn't have to engage him in that useless fight or stay on him that entire time, and had you pulled back when it was clear you weren't getting Tunis rather than when another threat to you popped up, you should have preeminently been at the very least ready to defend against England if not attacking him yourself, which, given that the channel remained open, would have been fairly easy to do. That would have given you the upper hand assuming you timed it right, but my entire point isn't that you could have attacked him but that you could have easily been much, much more prepared to defend.

Italy went for Iberia, which makes some sense. It's an easy stalemate if he beats England to it, and that would have ended the game. You would have to retaliate to survive, though, and nobody will blame you for trying to do that.

world game! League of Nations-2
It's like it sounds. It's a world game. Just a basic one.

Also, if I can get enough people interested, I'd like to play a world game called "United nations" that is more of an RPG, Where we just debate shit and military movements is so big deal and not common.

Saudi Arabia is one of the main sources of funding for ISIS / ISIL / Daesh.

Saudi Arabia routinely executes political prisoners and children, usually by beheading. Over 150 have been executed this year. Another 55 are due to be beheaded in the next few days.

Thanksgiving
The one festival in which a Western nation actually celebrates a huge influx of immigrants of a differing religious and cultural background arriving from overseas and all but wiping out the indigenous population.

Interesting in the context of current goings-on in Europe, the Middle East, etc.

Time for George Osborne to fuck the vulnerable even more
Brilliant and succinct precis by a very sound economist, ahead of today's Spending Review statement, which will herald more pain and misery for the UK's poorest and most vulnerable. The Tory plan to use "austerity" as a vehicle to destroy British social democracy continues apace.
