Bug check?

Well, I'm not sure what happened (although I'm guessing some save error so it wont' show up in any logs) but I somehow ended up with an army in Naples rather than the fleet that I thought I'd ordered.

Obama a Socialist ....... no, the Prof is a moron

http://www.ijreview.com/2014/01/107990-story-prof-fails-entire-class-illustrate-obamas-socialism-left-furious/

This professor doesn't sound like the smartest tool in the box.... and he thinks Obama is a socialist, sounds like a by-product of a failing capitalist education system

This sounds like one of those stories that never happened, like the army dog who won the Medal of Honor or the astronomers who found the missing day from when God hid the sun so Joshua could win a battle. In fact, it says as much in the link.

"What I am reading now is liberals, progressives or those that dismiss the STORY because it’s a scenario and not real."

So yeah, an obvious fable. Also, while there's plenty to criticize the education system about, it being capitalist isn't one of them.

This Nigee doesn't sound like the smartest tool in the box. The author comes right out and says it's a fable (his exact words). Can't you fucking read, moron Nigee?

Yes, but libtards don't let facts get in their way when it is the cause dujour.

Exactly .... why let the facts spoil a good story :-)

As an aside, although the story of a dog winning the Medal of Honour is an urban myth, there was a real military dog in WW1 who won several medals, saw active combat, and reached the rank of Sergeant:

I've decided I'm going to ban everybody who has fewer points than me to illustrate the principles of capitalism. If you're too lazy to get enough points to play a 5000

game, you don't deserve to be able to play on this site.

2WL - you apparently don't understand a thing about capitalism if you think that is a proper illustration.

Invictus (240 )

Yeah, because that definitely wasn't a joke.

Draugnar: You're telling krellin not to take someone seriously? Implicit in that statement is that you take krellin seriously . . . you libtard-fucktard-moron-hippie-commie-Mason-socialist-Jew-loser-Muslim-atheist.

Actually krellin... But I'm definitely not a commie or a hippie pr a nber of other things. More agnostic than athiest, definitely not Jewish. Not a libtard or a socialist, although I am socially liberal. Probably am a fucktard and moron, so not worth arguing those. What he forgot was "illuminatis". Only 4th level Mason, so not yet privy to all the Masonic and Illuminati secrets...

The Golden Age of Diplomacy

Does anyone else find reading Sharp's "The Game of Diplomacy" really depressing? The level of dedication and analysis that he presents in the book would never be found today. Does anyone even talk about diplomacy theory anymore, or are we just left to reading relics of the past?

Homework this week

Your homework this week is to speak to an octogenarian. We won't have them for very much longer and so I think it's important for young people to meet these guys.

Hippies aren't quite the same. They're uptight in a way that the people older than them weren't.

Feature Idea

So, I play a lot of live games, and I make a lot of them. I would love an option that would let players make games where any NMR in the first year is an instant cancel. So, that way there's no situation where a Germany NMR's and England/France/Russia take advantage and go on to become monster powers.

How to deal with people taking advantage of CD

Well, yet again, we have a situation where a country solos because its neighbors go CD from the outset, everyone else is completely sporting about declaring a draw.

Perhaps some kind of ban on new games for a couple weeks or something for this kind of cheating?

The Foundation Series

I (at the suggestion of a forum member, who's name I forget but will hopefully identify themselves), just read the first three books in the foundation series by Isaac Asimov. After calibrating my block list by reading through a recent gun control debate thread, I'd like to ask forum dwellers for their take on this series, or at least the premise.
