Can somebody clarify me on the different ways players are categorized? How is 'rank' calculated? How is 'position' calculated? How is the GR calculated?

The Great Debate: Mujus, Crazy Anglican, Nigee, semck, SC vs. My Fellow Atheists?

It seems as if we have a new wave of vocal and talented Christian thinkers, who certainly seem as willing as I to type on the matter, albeit from the other end--so, care to debate, say, 2-4 Christians vs. the same # of Atheists, on a thread w/ a neutral moderator, we each give an opening statement in succession (say, 500-1000 words or less), one rebuttal per person, and then open it up for questions, side with the most +1s for their comments "wins?"

Sexist Pig, Re-Heated Family Guy Leftovers, or Fresh New Take--McFarlane as Oscars Host?

http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/closeread/2013/02/seth-macfarlane-and-the-oscars-hostile-ugly-sexist-night.html So the reviews for the Aesthete Super Bowl known as the Oscars are in...and pretty much it's an even split, some loving the job Seth McFarlane did and others, like Ms. Davidson here, finding his turn as Oscar host incredibly offensive...and "misogynistic" seems to be the chief complaint against him--agree with that, disagree...your take?

Potential Multi Issue

I'm new to website after playing a few IRL games, and my housemate who also works at the same place as me is probably thinking about joining. However, I know there are issues relating to people using multiple accounts, and if that's done by IP address is will most likely look like both our accounts are the same person's.
What's the best way for us to avoid this, or who should I contact to discuss it further?
Thanks!

For the easy payment of 15

If you can take 10 minutes out of you day for possible world domination, than this deal is for you. In fact this deal is just to good. I'm gonna have to put a time limit of 7 days for this. I would wait that long though. there's only 13 spaces left.

Soldiers are the only people who can wear a berret without looking like complete tits.

Berets and puttees: UK military personnel had to wear these. Berets are head gear - flat hats; but puttees are really long thin towels you wrapped around the top of your boots. To quote a fellow squad mate of mine "It's the 20th century and we have to wear flat hats and wrap towels around our ankles!" That was more than 30 years ago. I doubt it's changed much.

Douchebags on Christian Mingle and a fedora.

Only retards can pull of wearing a bedpan for a hat.

And only Don Quixote can really pull off wearing a basin.

Finally, there's Mr. Spats who Had twenty-one hats, And none of them were the same. While Mr. Smeds, Had twenty-one heads, And only one hat to his name. Now, when Mr. Smeds, Met Mr. Spats, They talked of the Buying and selling of hats. And Mr. Spats Bought Mr. Smeds' hat! Did you ever hear anything Crazier than that?

Goodwill Quandry

Looking for some advice. My wife says I should wash second-hand clothes before I wear them, in case there are bugs or something in them. But is that going far enough? What if there are demons in my "new" corduroys? Should I exorcise them first? Pat Robertson says better safe than sorry.

Michelle Obama presents Best Picture Award

Cult of personality much? Can the Obamas refrain from inserting themselves into every damn corner of American life? Who thought this was a good idea--among both the White House staff and the Oscars producers? Can we leave politics out of anything? Why were military personnel used as props in a banal entertainment industry awards program?

Seriously, how is this not creepy and inappropriate?
