Lizard People Control Trump!!!!!
CNN has just reported that some people saw lizard people talking to Trump in the White House today. This confirms that we Americans are oppressed and should go riot somewhere. Maybe crash a few windows and raid while we are at it.

Completely Anon Game.
Hey, a player wanted me to advertise a completely anon game. Here is the link: http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=191149

I'm not playing obviously because it's completely anon. If you join, please do NOT post here or anywhere that you've joined. I'll periodically bump this thread until it fills.

Feature request: expand mod powers
I've noticed that a lot of people have been having issues with mod's decisions lately and I think the forum would be a better place if the mods/ admins had the powers to do more than just ban a user and if they were allowed to, for example, also kill the user's family. Implementing a "-1 and ban" feature underneath the +1 feature may also be funny to watch. Thank you and I hope you take my ideas into consideration.

Can I advertise anonymous games?
If I host an anonymous game, can I advertise it on the forum? It's not technically against the rules, but some might find it undesirable to know anything about who's in the game.

So what coalition would or could form? And against what?
orathaic (1009 D(B))
01 Feb 17 UTC
Against Russian involvement in the US. And the biggest oil deal in history (Exxon plus the Russian national oil company, planning to fuck over the rest of the world)
Jeff Kuta (2066 D)

A left/right populist coalition could form. Trump is mostly conservative, but there were plenty of angry people, including some Sanders supporters (but *not* yours truly), who voted for upheaval.

Trade unions are also lining up behind Trump for his plans on infrastructure. Of course, Democrats wanted to do this when Obama was POTUS, but the GOP stopped him at every turn.

Infrastructure spending is probably only a short term fix. Ideally though, we would do all the building continually. I suspect unions will be co-opted, then left high and dry.

If you're building a coalition around a single event, then I feel like that's too narrow. An anti-Russia coalition would be more akin to ora's suggestion. Kuta's infrastructure coalition sounds more broad and accessible.

Thoreau and Civil disobedience

I would have previously presumed to recommend resistance. But i suspect the Trump administration is planning for the public to tire themselves out protesting, and eventually lose all energy to oppose him, while his administration quietly makes out like banditos.

To quote Hameed Darweesh (Iraqi) 'Americanis the land of Freedom'

And that freedom is being threatened, by Presidents, Bush and his 'Patriot Act', Obama and his drone campaign (extra judicial killings of American citizens), and by Trump's actions designed to divide americans against themselves.

By the media, selling fear. Creating a mass distraction to more money, dividing the public into bipartisan camps, those for us and against us.

It is threatened by the gerrymandering of electoral districts, and the creation of blue vs red places to live. By the local parties, and the constant simplification of policy into exactly two camps.

It is threatened mostly by the monied interests, be they media - as described above - or military-industrial complex - which pushes a global arms trade and hawkish foreign policy - or the corporate lobbiests - who care only for their shareholder's profits and not the people.

But especially by the Trump campaign. He's filed to run in 2020 means you can now donate to his campaing, you know, in case you wanted to bribe the man...

American freedom is threatened. And not by Islamic extremists, but by the reaction to them. By the people profiting from it, by the oil companies who pushed for an invasion of Iraq and left it an unstable place in the first place...

America's freedom is threatened by it's own greed. And the citizens who are suffering, who were thrown aside wen the recession hit, thry are being targeted for division. Promises of jobs for white americans, while throwing mexicans and muslims under the bus are just that. Attempts to divide.

And those same promises are to give money to the powerful corporations. Tax breaks unrelated to the number of employees a company might have...

Feature request: time clock location
It would be really nice to have the countdown clock right above the order menu. That way one wouldn't have to scroll up to see how many precious seconds are left (wasting precious seconds). Would be pretty useful toward the end of the 5-minute 1v1's in which there are a lot of orders to fill.

Who wants to guess if she's going to go all Byonce and get political during the halftime show?

Iran announces it is abandoning the US dollar
http://theantimedia.org/iran-ditched-dollar-us-matters/

This could be the start of A) war with Iran (though they will come up with other excuses to sell it to the public) or B) a collapse in the value of the US dollar - which could result in many other countries abandoning it as a reserve currency (which is a threat to national security, hence A)
