Bird with Beard wins Eurovision Song Contest
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-27360310

People just can't be bothered to shave anymore, even for big events like the Eurovision Song Contest, I didn't think the song was that good but the beard I would give top marks.
Well done Austria, I'm sure the right-wingers are outraged by this so every cloud .....

An ongoing photo series of the horrific war that our favorite game so delightfully trivializes.

Creating a game based on GR
I was 112 in April and I'm 353 overall. I'd like to play with some people ranked higher than me.

The game would be full-press (it's all I really play). Everything else is up for discussion: anon/non-anon, buy-in, PPSC/WTA, and length. Personally, I prefer 3-4 days, but I could do 2 if people wanted. Who's interested?

A Third Pary Run in 2016?
Couple years off, obviously, but still, allow me to float a hypothetical--Rand Paul, like his father before him, obviously is a big enough name to run for office...and, like his father, might not be a perfect fit for the big business-happy GOP as a whole. That being said, he's younger and potentially a hotter candidate than his father was, so, let's say Rand Paul runs as a third party candidate vs. Hillary and *insert flavor of the month GOP candidate here.* How would that race go?

Money In Politics
http://www.reid.senate.gov/koch-facts#.U2uaZKKGfXQ
This is why citizens/businesses should be allowed to spend *whatever they want* in politics. If Harry Reid can use the power of his office to attack **individual citizens and corporations**, then individuals and corporations should be fully enabled to fight back. FUCK HARRY REID.

A Few rules questions (Sorry if you'd heard these questions before)
If you perform a support hold on an army that attempted to move to a different location but failed (therefore it hasnt moved), will the support hold fail because the initial orders were not to hold?

Also, if army 1 is supporting army 2 and is being support held by army 3, yet army 1 gets attacked, does his support of army 2 fail or stay since army 1 is being support held by army 3? (sorry if that was confusing)

Thank you, User Mute Function!
He who shall not be named is the only user I have ever muted, and as page loading is very slow on the train, I saw flash before the mute was applied a PM to me from my "friend": "Another asshole that pretends he mutes people....just another fucktard, aren't you?"

Oh, how I miss that witty banter... Full disclosure, I did take off the mute for a minute to grab that nugget to share. Share your best of the worst!

Oh...tsk tsk tsk....josunice caught in *another* lie, as I just PM'ed yet another photo of my dog having a grand old time doing the mombo #5 on josu's mother....who, sweaty brow and stupid grin, seemed to be enjoying the old dog-pound, if you know what I mean.

Fuck off, josunice. Quit being such a pussy and actually mute me, you festering cunt hole.

What is it with these whiny little pussies that claim they mute people, who actually haven't muted them? Seriously, what sort of emotional issues does josunice have that he feels compelled to make such retarded, "look at me, look at who I mute" public claims that are *clearly* lies...as he both responded...and he recieves my PM's.

Come on josu...bitch...man up...defend yourself.

Recent if for the last year or so is recent. It has only told you that you are muted in games now for about a year.

You want to know what's funny? Despite the fact that this page displays that there are fourteen replies to this message, I only actually see one reply.

My favorite rascals are the ones who will choose to confront you during a game, attempt to talk you into some wild scheme, get angry with you for declining to participate, *AND THEN* try to make *you* feel like an idiot after you wipe them from the board.

It's that last bit - they think that you are stupid for beating them.

Honestly, I was like that when I was fifteen. How my life took a turn for the better once I decided to abandon that line of thinking...

I honestly don't know. I don't care about anything that happened before I came back as a mod. Here are the current forum rules:

1) Don't use the forum to cheat
2) Don't make cheating accusations
3) Don't advertise for live games outside ZaZa's thread
4) Don't post porn
5) Don't rustle abge's jimmies

I had not noticed that total replies point... I see 7 of 14, and since Krellin is my only mute, I guess he out-ed himself repeatedly, though I did not name him (some egos just DEMAND stroking, eh). Thanks Mapu for sharing his post... I guess he has shifted up gears and is roaring along (thank you mute!).
