Unions
Can anyone explain to me why I'm strongarmed into paying a bunch of highway robbers ~5% of my teaching salary? As far as I can tell, the only thing my union has ever done is prevent me from negotiating my own salary. Thanks for that.

Country Randomizer
I have been playing here for some time, and I'm a little upset with the way the randomizer works. I have started in 25 games and have not once been chosen to play as Turkey. I have been Turkey once when I joined midgame. I would like to play a game from start to finish as Turkey, but it has yet to happen. Can somebody explain how the algorithms work exactly and why I have yet to be Turkey yet have been Russia now 6 times.

One of many liberal paradox's, I call this one Putin33's Dilemma:

USA must intervene in all humanitarian war disasters (CAR, Syria, S. Sudan, etc.) -- but if USA intervenes in war, the USA is committing war crimes in the act of war itself (Drones kill!).

France was an *idiot*. I brought two fleets down to help him hold the line and he instead decided to take my SCs. Then, when the line was held again, he attacks my fleet and pops it leaving one fewer defenders on the line that was our eventual downfall. Roka, you are a fool!

How do I ask a good friend for a pair of his girlfriend's panties without it coming across wrong? I definitely don't want to give the wrong impression here. I don't want to seem creepy or anything, but I really really need a pair and they have to be hers... and, you know, if it's not too much trouble, it'd be much much better if they weren't washed.

Alright, so here's what you need to do.

1. Visit your friend's house. Your job will be much easier if the g/f lives with the friend. Otherwise, you'll need to get creative.
2. Bring an old alarm clock.
3. Leave alarm clock. If the g/f doesn't live with the friend, you'll need to hide the alarm clock in her purse.
4. Call a few days later because you forgot something. Ask the girlfriend if you can swing by her place "if she has the time".
5. Before you visit g/f's house, stop and get a very messy fast food. A chimichanga works nicely.
6. Get chimichanga all over your shirt, preferably pants too.
7. Ask if you can do a quick load of laundry. Casually ask if she has anything to add to your load.
8. Have sex with girlfriend.
9. Keep panties.

So after the embarrassing "encounter," I just took the simplest route. I broke into their apartment when they were both gone and raided the panty drawer and dirty laundry.

Unfortunately, I was perhaps a bit overexuberant, and I'm afraid I may have taken *all* of the panties in the house. While this satisfies my long term goal, it seems likely that at some point she might notice they're missing. I'm afraid they'll think it was me because I asked her for a pair.

will be home by now, but I probably have a window to act until tomorrow morning. Please advise, forum, and quickly! They

Why hers? Were you in too deep with the mob, and they requested the payment to be her panties?
Can't you break back in and return all the panties except one pair?

You have to be proactive. Presumably the friend has known you longer than her, and probably implicitly trusts you more because of it. Find a time when he's not with her, go to him, and confess that you've been sleeping with his girlfriend. Apologize repeatedly and tell him that it will never happen again, and then leave him to confront her. As he's working up the nerve, she'll tell him that several pairs of panties are missing, and that she suspects you. This will only confirm his suspicions and cause him to completely cut off ties with her. It may be difficult to return to the previous level of friendship, but hey, you got the panties.

My dearest YJ...I feel for you, bro, having to deal with the emotionally vapid likes of Orka..."Why hers?" he asks, as if the answer to this question could even be phrased in a human tongue. Why indeed...

You might as well ask, "Why did the Tranny cross the road?"...and yet, I suspect if such a question would ask, the foolish would vomit forth with their answers none the less, "Because she had a right to!" "Because the crack pipe was on the other side!"

Bah...

I trust you have gathered all the necessary materials to proceed with the rest of your task, now that the lacy things are "in hand", so to speak.

They do feel nice against the...eh hem...well, when you sprint, do they not?
