Across the world people are on tenterhooks. Americans are preparing to stay up all night, Europeans are readying themselves for a day of protest, and China has closed down Google. It's the political event of the year... It's the UK police commissioner elections!!!!!

Hypothetical
I am thinking about running a tournament, but I have a question regarding the impact of a scoring system. What do you think the results would be of a scoring system based on the following:

What if rankings are assigned by number of solos, with a tie-breaker being total centres?

A wants to hold. B wants to move to C, which is next to A. Is A supporting B's move the same as A holding in strength? If someone tries to come into A, does the support on B make A weaker? thanks!

How does the US get away from the two party system?
I don't have any idea so I'm looking to see what others think. Do we somehow outlaw politcal parties altogether and make candidates run on their own merits? Do we have to do serious reform to campaign financing as well? Give me your ideas!

Where to get Firewood?
This may seem like a silly question, but I've never had a fireplace before, so...
Where do I get it? Most of the trees around here are pine, so I can't burn what falls from storms. A cord goes for close to $300, which seems like a lot, but I don't have anything to compare it to.

that wood that just fell is not good for burning yet. It has to dry. Burning wet wood is difficult at best and stupid always.

Where do you live, so we can give you a better idea what type of wood to look for

Oak and Hickory are the 2 biggest here, as well as Ash.

@Stressed - You should have gone gas furnace. Natural gas is a lot cheaper to heat with that electric, especially as most electric systems are just heat pumps with an emergency element and when it gets real cold, heat pumps are useless.

Drau, I only have electric heat for insurance purposes. If you have 'fireplace/woodstove' as your only and your primary, insurance costs go thru the fucking roof.

I dont use my electric heating but maybe a few times a year. Sometimes for a quick 'take the edge off' burst, however, that being said, i also have 8 solar panels on my roof, soooooooo
Draugnar (0 DX)

But why not get a gas furnace and not have to heat so much with the fireplace/stove? Even if you can't get natural gas piped in, I guarantee you can get an LP tank buried in the yard and have it filled thru your local LP provider on a service basis. I used to work for Heritage Propane and they have som e*really* rural customers that they deliver to regularly, rain or snow or shine.

haha no, I don't monitor these userids, nor am I in a game with one of them. I did a casual investigation after the posts and reported them to the mods. That's the only reason I followed this. I figured I'd rather bump the thread than post a new one.
