Something you didn't know...
Austria-Hungary was a direct continuation of the Roman Empire. The Empire in the West existed until 1806, when Napoleon invaded it and the last Emperor, Francis II, abdicated. However, he continued to rule as Austrian Emperor until his death in 1835. The next few emperors continued reigning over Austria (later extended to include Hungary in 1867) until the end of World War One, when the last Habsburg Emperor, Charles, abdicated and went into exile in 1918.

effective strategies in a nightclub?
talking to a girl, she seems moderately interested. ask if she wants to get coffee, she rejects the offer. apparently not interested in spite of talking for a while with you. then you get desperate and start talking to all these random girls and they reject you one by one. is this an effective strategy?

Paused games
I know that paused games are when the players choose to have a pause due to a player or a few, but how long can this last? This game is paused and the players been gone for about a mounth, and most players filled in their orders, so will they just keep on waiting, especially if the player never comes back?

Creating Incentives to Ban
It is a topic that is most odd...If Web Diplomacy players were awarded points for catching those who were charged with account fraud, would it be legitimate?

Keep in mind that if the allegation is true, the player gets 50 pts., but if it is false, they are docked by 5 D.

Putin calls fulhamish a nazi. I hate it when I try starting a conversation and then Putin starts sucking up all the attention and calling people racist or nazi to make a point. I don't mind the insane communist propaganda, but this crosses the line. Also, Putin, you just discredited any good there could have been in your argument by calling your opponent that.

Except Godwin's Law says that at some point, somebody will compare *something* to some aspect of Nazi Germany. In this case, it was a comparison between a participant in the discussion and the nazis themselves. That's pretty sick.

Dude... this is the internets, home of the trolls. And Putin is one able Troll.

The more you show how deeply annoyed you are, the more the troll wins.

As Joshua says in "War Games", this is a game where the only winning move is not to play it.

The point is that he doesn't *just troll*. Sometimes he makes good points, so good even that I feel it would be wrong not to consider them, but this kind of stuff ruins it completely. I just want to raise awareness on the forum that he's a troll in sheeps' clothes. He'll pretend to be all normal and at some time he'll just call you a racist or a nazi if he doesn't agree with you.

That's been my issue with him as well. He is knowledgeable and , while I may disagree with some of his stancres, he presents good arguments often enough. But then he pulls the name calling (a sign he knows his argument isn't as strong) and tries to direct the conversation down irrelavent tangents rather than just staying out of it.

Hey guys don't worry to much on my account. After I exposed him for being a twisting liar after he accusing me of being a Holocaust denier, his response was ''mea culpa''. A little short of an apology, but given the individual concerned, it was good enough for me. Check out the thread if you are interested.

@fulhamish:

To me it's not about this particular incident, or about you as a person: this is a question of principle. You don't call someone a nazi. Period. I called Putin out on calling you a nazi and then he just continued by calling you a fascist and not apologizing. I then said I had a problem with his calling you a nazi and he still continued. I now see that only after a persisted debate he gave a little terrain back, but I sort of cautioned him with my comments three times. In a thread that *I* created, that should have been enough. He deserves every letter of this public hammering and I hope this raises awareness of what kind of person Putin33 is and what that should tell people about the insane communist ideology he believes in.

The laughable part is Putin is the lover of the millions-murdered Communists - so calling someone a Nazi to begin with puts him about half a step away from self-indictment...Nazi's being the half-brother of his beloved Communists.

I don't care what it is, calling someone a nazi is crossing a limit regardless of the medium you use. I hope everybody who ever had the pleasure of meeting Putin33 will read this thread, and his inane accusations of fulhamish and myself.

"Its extension used to describe mechanistic and uncontrollable world powers clashing in an epic confrontation with unavoidable results is just so Nazi it hurts"

This is so false it hurts me. I've never read a more bizarre misreading of Hegelian dialectics than this. Hegel's dialectic merely describes what is, it is not a proscription for anything. He is explaining the interconnectedness of everything. If somebody can come up with a better description of how ideas develop and are interconnected than the Abstract-Negative-Concrete formulation, let me know. Until then, lay off Hegel.

-Putin33

Thank God you yourself would never make such a disgusting comparison between nazi-Germany and something so far from it.
Typical right winger (krellin) trying to point out similarities between 'communism' and nazism, which of course, are spurious links at best
