Bugs
Anyone that can say if there is actually a special email or place that one should contact when there are bugs in your games? I have tried to get hold of this through the Help sight and is then directed to SourceForge.net, but that is not so easy to find out there how to post problems on specific games. Anyone that can give me a clue? Thanks.

Hey Putin, MAN UP
I saw noted sex advice columnist Dan Savage speak tonight in Madison and he used the terms "gay" and "homosexual" interchangeably. Since we've all been made PAINFULLY aware that the term "homosexual" is an outdated and disparaging epithet, perhaps Putin can explain to us all why he is correct and one of the worlds foremost gay right activists is a bigot.

Muted in a normal press game?
I need help with protocol. Before the S1901 moves and after only an initial greeting message I have been muted by another player such that no messages go through. Apparently no other player is experiencing this. Shouldn't that be against the rules? What recourse do I have? I am not interested in playing in this environment, but I do not want to have a "resign" on my record either.

Game 105217 Question
gameID=105217

Split Diplomat here says I cheated. I don't understand how I could have. Maybe because I took 3 sc's from a player that went CD, but if you look at the map of the game, you will see that I would have won anyway, as I was about to take the 3 Sc's from Russia within another year. What do you guys think?

I've lived in a socialist country and a former socialist country. Have you ever seen a sweatshop, or do you just dream of your utopian capitalist views?

1) It shows the destructive effects of it, which you fail to see, and rather support. maybe if you watch it, and look at it from a diferent perspective, you'll see it

2 ) And yes i have, myself being eastern european. But hey, maybe you were a member of the party, who indulged in all your privileges.
Putin33 (111 D)
30 Nov 12 UTC
How does this show the 'destructive' effects of communism, in the slightest? You anti-communists love to hail the "success" of the Czech Republic & Poland. Does that show the progressive effects of communism? You can't have it both ways. Whatever problems Ukraine has now is squarely the fault of your glorious capitalist restoration - let's get that straight. Living standards declined by over 50% in the 1990s from the Soviet period.
Putin33 (111 D)

"But hey, maybe you were a member of the party, who indulged in all your privileges. "

So wait, you've seen sweatshops? How do you feel about locking workers in factories, ala Bangladesh? Just the price we must pay for cheap goods in the new world order?
ILN (100 D)
30 Nov 12 UTC
thats just the process for Bangladesh to become richer and emerge as a developed country. the last they need is a socialist state. we're seeing how well china is doing at that, which is en route to collapse. Bangladesh is becoming richer every year, average incomes rising. how do you think the Taiwanese factory workers felt? should they have adopted socialist policies? well capitalism worked wonders for them, and look at them now.

also, look at india. india is becoming richer every year. im sure evil capitalism is not the reason for it.

Putin33 (111 D)

And look at the collapse of eastern Europe under capitalism. Wonders indeed. Taiwan had to endure decades of draconian military rule in order to achieve these "wonders" as you call them. Ditto South Korea. Indeed there is not a developing country who hasn't been forced to endure brutal conditions to achieve any kind of development under capitalism.

The most well off state in India in terms of human development is Kerala - which is also one of the poorest. Why? It's led by the Communist Party, that's why.

"thats just the process for Bangladesh to become richer "

People must burn alive in order to become "rich" under capitalism. Got it.

"we're seeing how well china is doing at that, which is en route to collapse."
China has an incredibly corrupt government and is actively involved in the capitalist policies you so readily defend.

"how do you think the Taiwanese factory workers felt? should they have adopted socialist policies? well capitalism worked wonders for them, and look at them now."
How exactly are they doing now? Have you checked?
ILN (100 D)
30 Nov 12 UTC
ghug yes i have
its not for no reason Taiwan is refereed to as one of the "Four Asian Tigers"
the reason Taiwan is so successful, and why the Taiwan miracle happened is because of their capitalist polices, that they embraced free markets and globalization.

Actually Taiwan & RoK developed through a heavy dose of economic planning. The private sector was secondary. They created Economic Planning Boards and created Zaibatsu style conglomerates backed by state banks. They developed heavy industry to finance economic development. They essentially set up monopolies.
ghug (5068 D(B))
30 Nov 12 UTC
ILN, you seem to have ignored my question. How are the *factory workers* doing?

Sure, if you believe in a system that works by using the poor as stepping stones on the way to the top, your system is great. If you, on the other hand, have human decency, you might want to consider what you're so readily defending.

Comparing Vdip to WebDip
I was bored and so I checked out Vdip. Man, they don't have discussions and dramas like we have. They just post variants threads and King Atom is actually leading a good thread over there (trying out all the variants). What a strange parallel universe.
