That's an interesting assertion. Do you have any source/data to back it up? I'm not saying you're wrong - heck, I'd be happy to learn you're right - but I'd love to see some evidence.

Basically all the conservatives that post on this forum are worse than 500, most are worse than the 50%th percentile. All the top 100 players that post on the forum are leftist. I don't have any data, the notion that anyone would is absurd.

Glad to see that the "better players" rise above stupidly attacking groups of people that violate the forum rules.

Data is absurd, assertions are absurd, you're a conservative unicorn and I'm good at Diplomacy. Global hunger solved. Boom.

Feel like conducting a poll on webdip players?

100% of respondent agree with you. 1 vote. You are the God of your own universally respected opinions.

Name a single conservative in the top 500

I don't post on the forum, I'm conservative, and the last GR overall I ranked 100th.

Sorry, I just dropped to 101st in the October GR.

I have a feeling your assertion is completely invalid, but if it's true that the players that are conservative that post on the forum are all terrible, it may be due to the fact that there are many intelligent conservative players that realize there's absolutely no point in trying to rationalize or discuss topics with those that believe they are intellectually superior because of their political views. So we just don't post in the forum and quietly go about our business playing games, on a website designed for the purpose of playing a game.

All of the data anyone has access to says that there are way more leftists at the top and way more conservatives on the bottom. Almost all the conservatives who post here are in the bottom 2000. You can assert that all the other conservatives recognize the futility of arguing, but then why don't the leftists also realize that futility? You have no actual evidence.

In any case, I don't give a shit about hidden conservatives. I just want everyone to recognize that all the forum posting fascists are actually really fucking awful at this game and make them feel bad, you don't really matter re: that point.

This is a stupid thread. I suggest you do not make any more threads calling a group of people stupid or that they lack sympathy. Condescension, you have been silenced for 7 days. The next silence will be a whole month.

FYI, there are plenty of people that I know of who are in the top 100 who are conservatives or have conservative tendencies. Octavious when he was playing is a top five player. HR has some conservative tendencies for someone in the UK. Here are a couple of other people: Gen Lee, ssorenn (my guess anyway), and that is just in the top 50.

You have no idea what people's political affiliations or leanings are other than a few loudmouths on the forum, and from what I can see, almost all of the loudmouths on the forum are not great at Diplomacy and I can back that up easily. Moreover, the loudmouths run the gamut in terms of political leanings.
