Rhyme Time II
I'm looking for a few good word magicians. Give me your nobles, your humble and fancy patricians. I need 7 players to commit to a time; to play an unranked press game whose objective is rhyme.

Bullying and harassment on the forum
I have a couple questions regarding this because I think a recent thread that was locked today brings up a lot of good questions that I think need to be asked.

so, let me get this straight. Bo Sox wants me to report his support for the notion that there needs to be a safe space for racists and sexists to him in order to do what, ban himself?

He objected to my statement that that kind of bastard needs to disappear from the face of the earth. If that is objectionable, it necessarily implies that racism and sexism they represent should NOT be wiped from the face of the earth. Hard to interpret such a position as anything other than advocating for the preservation of such ideologies. There isn't a lot of wiggle room.

Objecting to the violent removal of individuals, however distasteful, is hardly the same as advocating that their beliefs or ideas should be preserved. If you really think that such a position has no "wiggle room" in it, then you really are the dangerous zealot for your cause that you seem to be.

Time and experience with individuals who defy racist or sexist expectations are far better methods for effecting a lasting beneficial cultural change rather than attempting to eradicate or convince stubborn individuals.

Read the quote. It was about the removal of that kind of attitude. It is a disingenuous trench to read it otherwise that is typical of apologists. History has shown that sweeping it under the carpet and minimizing its importance with false pieties and pearl clutching is the favorite strategy of those complacent with the status quo. I never advocated with eradicating anyone. I advocating a kind of bastardy. bo Sox is precisely the kind of white moderate King warned us about
Ogion (3882 D)

Advocating removing a kind of bastardy rather.
Ogion (3882 D)
09 Feb 17 UTC
This disingenuous and willful misinterpretation as advocating violence where I didn't(As opposed interestingly to the latter part which I already repudiated interestingly) is precisely the kind of silencing we see so often of those who speak out. It's a slander pure and simple.

Ogion is a self-centered intolerant moron. He is the type of Stalinist-Maoist that rounds up his enemies after the revolution and shoots them at dawn. His kind were the ninny monarchists that the patriots sent packing to Canada or the craven democrat politicians that sent brave men to die in Vietnam and then disowned them when they returned. The answer to that kind is to buy a one way ticket to Havana and bid them good riddance.

"And those people I will harrass the hell out of and back until they are left a pile of quivering jelly weeping crushed and demoralized in the corner. Because I for one have had enough of the sexism and the racism and the homophobia and all the rest of it, and it I see it I am seriously going to knee your balls straight through the roof of your mouth. Is that ENTIRELY clear, you douchebags?"

This quote, the attitude it conveys, and the tone of your rhetoric throughout the thread has indicated a combative approach that polarizes people and makes those individuals who might agree with your goals oppose your approach.

Eliminating the bigotry of racism, sexism, and all kinds of other -isms is a fine goal, but people like you make a laudable goal look like a violent crusade against people whose most racist behavior may be to take a second, suspicious glance at a black man walking down the street by them. Do those people count as "bastards" that need to disappear?

I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you had not seen the new forum rules when you posted that given the short period of time, but posts like that are not acceptable anymore. Please do not do it again.

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.

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.

Any predictions about Lada Gaga and the Superbowl?
Who wants to guess if she's going to go all Byonce and get political during the halftime show?

My guess: In the middle of her song, she'll start advocating for PPSC and announce an engagement to Krellin.

Heckling Feature Request
It's fun to observe games, but would be even more fun if there was a sideboard to heckle and commentate on games by people who aren't actually part of the game. This would be particularly interesting for those games among top players.
