Kim Jong-un's Popularity Stagnates
There's concern for the North Korean leader today as election results become known. Despite his best efforts to establish himself with the people, the percentage of the vote won by Kim in his district was on a par with the poorest performing candidates across the nation. Those election results in full below:

Rape Culture
So one of my female friends informed me 10 minutes ago that today is international Womens Rights day, or some shit like that, and it sprang a short debate about various women's right issues. Can someone please explain to me the merits of believing in rape culture, cause it just sounds like pure bullshit to me.

Mod cancels games
I was just in a game, where it was canceled because the mods said someone might be cheating. While I understand why the game was stopped,but why was it canceled, and not allowed to find someone to replace the cheater?

Russians to Welcome Crimean Secession?
http://news.yahoo.com/top-lawmaker-russia-welcome-crimea-152337948.html Let's keep this one specific, given that we already have a main thread for the Crisis in Ukraine: 1. Your thoughts on Crimea's stated intention to secede and Russia's warm response, 2. SHOULD Crimea secede, 3. WILL it happen and 4. SHOULD Crimea be considered "Russia," as these demonstrators seem to think?

Why Professors should give the students their midterms and exams back
I've always hated how most professors don't let you look at a midterm or exam after righting it. I'm always convinced that its because they're lazy fucks who want to keep the exam the same every year and don't do it to prevent us from being able to sell said exams to our underclassmen. Below is the list of reasons why I strongly think profs should give students their marked midterms and exams back

Draugnar Bails
Good game all, except our host who bailed in 1904A when a draw of Austria didn't turn his way (gameID=135791). Guess he wasn't "addicted" enough...
Octavious (2701 D)

My understanding of "bails" is to quit. I'm guessing that's not what you mean as he seemed to fight until defeated in 05

I meant he gave up on fighting for himself... he would have kept centers longer in the game, but he supported Russia into Trieste in 1904A because I believe he felt slighted by my Italy... I guess that is his right, but that seems a copout to me.

People HAVE been known to get gang raped playing as Austria. It's in the middle. Plus the guy is, admittedly, trying out gunboat.
Draugnar (0 DX)
08 Mar 14 UTC
I supported myself but the moron didn't look at the actual orders. And in gunboat, if you are down to one or two SCs and being gang raped, keeping you units off the SCs and not covering it can keep you alive longer because the other yards might bounce each other.

I meant relative to the others in this thread ('here' referred to this thread), and I kind of meant the newest one of us to the forum, but to the site as well.

Anyway, I'm used to men pretending children act different than men in this context, and therefore unrightfully saying the men act like children, while in fact they just act like particular humans do, from all age categories :)

Josunice won't man up, or perhaps he has no dick and can't man up. Henceforth I shall call him Joseunich. Hel, Joseunich should be thanking me. If I had just support held myself, he would have lost Trieste to Turkey and who knows how that would have turned out.

Tell me why I deserved to get bitched out in that game? Seriously, just tell me. If you can't then yes, you are a shit for brains. And considering this was only my second game, how does that qualify as "every time"?

Now another just ended and I did screw up in it. But we were going to be hard pressed to stop the solo anyhow. However, I'll tale the hit if CF and Bo want to bitch at me. I screwed it up.

If you have played twice and gotten bitched out twice then that is "every time" even if the sample size is small.

I admit - I jumped to conclusions and thought the move was more agregious than it was... when you expect to see something, the bais can sometimes lead you to see what is not there. My bad. Though it has spawned some interest (and entertainment) in the forum... I laughed along with some at my expense, too, I admit...

And I took it to an extreme hoping to eventually get that admission. Thank you josunice. I apologize for the excessive behavior.

if you mean donations, that's a sunk cost as soon as you send it in
Draugnar (0 DX)
09 Mar 14 UTC
I view it as an investment, the ROI being the entertainment I get from the site. A recent donation of a C note means I need to get at least a year more of pleasure before I reach breakeven.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
09 Mar 14 UTC
If you wouldn't have donated you'd still be having fun, and making relative profit, so while donating is good, your argument seems lacking :)

Also, does that mean you voluntarily get silenced "for no less than a year" again by then? :P

"And I took it to an extreme hoping to eventually get that admission"

Seriously? You behave like that all the time... I have no issue admitting mistakes when presented with a reasonable argument which others were kind enough to suggest on your behalf. Your childish ranting did not promote a constructive response... no need to pretend like your craziness actually was some rational master plan... embrace your lack of control and decorum... it is so over the top that I am sure most appreciate the entertainment.
Draugnar (0 DX)
09 Mar 14 UTC
Which is partially why I do it (entertainment factor). This is the perfect place to act the loon. It allows one (and I've said this before on this very forum) to let out the day's frustrations and vent harmlessly.
Draugnar (0 DX)
09 Mar 14 UTC
Steephie - Surely even one of your minimal intellect realizes that a forum silencing is not the se as leaving the site entirely. There is much more to this site than just the forum and I use all aspects of the site.
Draugnar (0 DX)
09 Mar 14 UTC
Oh, and steephie, it's because of donors like me that we have a dedicated server instead of sharing processor and memory with hundreds of other sites. And, as I know where your silver coin came from (your welcome by the way) , you should be thanking those of us who donate that you don't have to deal with the outages we used to deal with back in the day.

Hm, not that i approve forum bitching in general, but i need to intervene here. It is very nice of you, Draugnar, to have helped fund the site. Just as it is nice of every one of us who donated. It gives you no right whatsoever in my eyes to expect gratitude for it. It always annoyed me that Nigee tried pressuring people into donating, so does you playing the same tune.
Draugnar (0 DX)
09 Mar 14 UTC
I don't actually expect any gratitude except from steephie who has his silver coin cause I asked Kestas to give him one off my last donation. Elsewise, my donations are cause I want to and I think the site is worth it. Notice, I said steephie should be thanking us that he doesn't have to deal with what we used to deal with. Not simply for donating. Kestas built the site because he loves the game, but we should still thank him for doing it. The only one who should thank me specifically is steephie for his silver coin.
Draugnar (0 DX)
09 Mar 14 UTC
In other words, thank us for the great site with very few outages, kind of like thanking your lucky stars you didn't get killed today by a bus...

To thin the draw or not thin... that is the question...
I think it an added dimension to the on-line game and like the extra dynamics and strategy it affords. Particularly in GB where there is no collusion. Earn your place in the draw or punish a grabber by throwing a solo... all part of the game.

Gunboat/Press hybrid game
I just thought about the idea of playing a game where the first year is full press through the 1901 builds, and the game turns to gunboat after the fact. It would essentially be a gunboat game that can have crazier openings and break the mold of having very similar 1901 years from game to game. Anyone interested in trying this out?

I recently played two PPSC games (a normal world gameID=132877,and a modern gunboat gameID=132764), in both of which a player decided not to attack the leader, resulting the leader to solo and the other coming in second. Do you think letting your ally win is ever acceptable?
