Fisher v. Texas

This is a case going before the Supreme Court soon regarding affirmative action at my university. It's a big deal around here, needless to say. You are welcome to comment on the case here. Please don't be racist.

Xenocide

Would it be wrong to fight a war of extermination against a separate sentient species? With or without provocation, as in they started the war, and we are just finishing it, or we both compete for the same scarce resources so we wipe them out.

Sorry About That aka I'm Not Dead

Yeah, not much more I can say beyond that. Nothing bad or tragic, all good things actually, I just didn't have time to tie up loose ends with WebDip in a responsible manner before having to jet. Hope everything is well in this community. I do miss the game and the people, at least most of you! =P Would be interested in seeing if I still know how to play some time.

Affirmative Action

In my opinion it is time to get rid of Affirmative Action and its racist ideals, and this supreme court case will hopefully make AA less racist.

thanks for drawing :-). That game could've gone on for a while

I love how brainbomb burned with hatred against me.

Your Humble Narrator (1922 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

I had North Sea hold rather than support a move to Denmark. Or move into Denmark, I don't really remember. Good game all.

Fortress Door (1837 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

I like how fast Italy and I statlamted Zmaj though :-)

Your Humble Narrator (1922 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

Yeah, I thought I still had a shot, but I also predicted Russia getting into solo position and withdrawing his draw vote pretty soon, so I decided to quit while I was ahead.

Zmaj (215 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

Narrator, no way you could have won after Fortress and I started working together.

BreathOfVega (597 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

Only in the last turn, by counting French SCs, I was convinced you were trying to keep me out of the draw.

Btw, I don't know why Ion - Tun.... I was surprised as you were, it just slipped from my mouse... (if something could slip from a mouse)

Fortress Door (1837 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

No, I was yelling at you before that. But that was the big one. The biggest scream of outrage from me was when you let France retreat to the Tyrhennian Sea

Fortress Door (1837 )

EOG:

I draw Turkey

Austria opens like a mad man, Russia and I take him out quickly, I try to get into Albania, doesn't work.

Russia stabs, Italy and I create a little statlemate against him

France builds two builds and everyone is set on statlemate mode

Your Humble Narrator (1922 )

lol, Fortress, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that one.

My little brother asked why I was yelling at my computer while I played :P

but we managed to do it, since Zmaj was able to do his job effectively while Italy and I mucked around

Zmaj (215 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

I think I'll never learn that I shouldn't stab Turkey too early.

BreathOfVega (597 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

I don't know why Austria started attacking me (first). In the end, I tried to keep him calm but there was nothing I could do (Trieste was needed to stalemate Russia). Being Russia and France the two emerging, I tried to gain Turkish help to stop Russia first, then call Russia against France. It succeeded, then that fantastic move into Tun (it was obiously into Tys in my mind, believe me...), and in the end the cold sweat...

Your Humble Narrator (1922 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

EOG:
I draw France.
Germany tries to stab, I shut him down.
Germany tries to stab, I shut him down.
Russia hits Germany, Germany tries to defend his flank while hitting me, I shut him down.
I invade England and Germany, Germany displays a suicidal determination to make things easy for me and difficult for Russia.
I realize I've got to go through Italy.
Italy realizes I've got to go through Italy.
Aaaaand I'm stalemated.

Fortress Door (1837 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

That was an intense game, for sure. We did a job together against Russia, but France brought me a LITTLE to close to your homeland :P

Fortress Door (1837 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

you were NOT statlamted YHN. That game could've last hours. I was seriously considering sending an army through Rumania to help out Russia take care of that army.

Zmaj (215 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

Lol Narrator you have a talent for EoGs. Good choice of nick.

BreathOfVega (597 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

FD, that was a mistake coming from... the keyboard?, it was obviously Tun - WES and Nap - TyS, waiting for you in Ionian. I yelled too, if it can help....

I also didn't like the whole Trieste - Vienna thing by Russian part...

Your Humble Narrator (1922 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

I'd just like to take this opportunity to brag about my little defensive maneuver in Autumn 1902, which allowed me to simultaneously defend both Burgundy and Belgium with only 3 units. Go me.

Zmaj (215 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

He WAS stalemated, Fortress. Next turn, he would have lost Kiel.

Fortress Door (1837 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

well, It wasn't a true statlemate line I guess, but it was unlikely he would solo

what year are you talking about, BOV?

Zmaj (215 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

Narrator, of course, that move does count on Germany not attacking Burgundy from Ruhr with Munich support. Still, it's a nice move. You can almost always count on the other player's greed.

Zmaj (215 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

Yeah, Vega, I was a bastard there. Thanks for not going berserk on my ass.

Fortress Door (1837 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

I am trying to find good moves I made but can't find any... :(

Your Humble Narrator (1922 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

Yeah, I considered that possibility, but in that scenario I'd have ended up in Ruhr myself, hardly the worst of situations, though it would've been pretty irritating.

BreathOfVega (597 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

FD, if you are referring to the first sentence, well I mean when I let France slip in Tys.

(to the second, it was when Zmaj took Vienna just after voting draw -_-)

Fortress Door (1837 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

Ah, ok

and yeah Zmaj, that was a bit dickish. I was seriously tempted to take Budapest to punish you

Zmaj (215 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

Hehehe... Anyway, all's well that ends well. Good night, gentlemen, and good luck.

BreathOfVega (597 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

Oh, FD, why were you cursing me before the Thyrrenian thing?

Fortress Door (1837 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

I don't quite remeber, but I was pissed when you decided to support hold Albania when I first attacked it. I didn't want to hurt you, only to get Trieste (which I could then use to get a hand on Russia_

Fortress Door (1837 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

and the fact you were set out to kill me at the start helped :-)

BreathOfVega (597 )
10 Oct 12 UTC

Well, I can see the latter, then :D
(the first, sorry but I wanted Trieste for myself, else I couldn't go for Boh crunch)

Frankly, as Italy it's the first time starting against Turkey with Austria attacking me -_-

bo_sox48 (5202 )
11 Oct 12 UTC

No, FD, I was not in that game. Thanks for asking though.
