Who You Should Vote For
http://www.isidewith.com/

A pretty good quiz to see which candidate you most agree with.

I'm 85% in agreement with Mitt Romney, according to the test. No real shocker there. The first time I took it without realizing there were optional extra questions, however, I was a Gary Johnson boy.


It's not perfect, of course. The test makes it look like I mesh best with Obama on foreign policy, for instance. That's spectacularly wrong. It's a neat way to spend a few minutes, though.

97% Gary Johnson supporter. A little surprised that it's so high. I would have thought my disagreement on tax policy ("fair tax" vs. "no tax") would knock him down by 5% at least.

Abortions for some, miniature American flags for the rest!

Near as makes no difference for Stein (82%) and Obama (81%). Surprisingly, I sided with Romney on foreign policy. The quiz lacked any education issues though, so it's missing a big section of domestic policy as well as my top personal issue.

Obviously not living in the USA, I can't vote in this one, but I did the quiz anyway:

JILL STEIN - 95%
BARACK OBAMA - 91%
ROCKY ANDERSON - 75%
GARY JOHNSON - 59%
VIRGIL GOODE - 18%
MITT ROMNEY - 1%

I also have to admit that until participating in this thread, I had never heard of Virgil Goode or Gary Johnson.
Stein (91%), Obama (81%), Johnson (69%), Romney (4%).

Good. The more Democrats who vote Green the better.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
24 Sep 12 UTC
Seriously. Just keep in mind, a vote for Green is a vote for Republican.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
24 Sep 12 UTC
Invictus, to say that I would vote Green over Obama is stupid because Obama is unbelievably better than Romney and Green isn't going to win. I'd support their party financially if the opportunity arose (upon more research, of course), but I'm not making my vote useless.
Celticfox (100 D(B))
24 Sep 12 UTC
I tend to vote Green for more local elections. One exception being the last governors race here. In Illinois it doesn't matter if you're voting for Dem or Rep they're both corrupt as hell.
Willtor (113 D)
24 Sep 12 UTC
I'd support a change to the voting system that reduces the marginalization of third parties. As things stand, on one side if everybody who thought Green (or Libertarian, or whatever else) voted that way there would be a third party in office next term. On the other hand, voters aren't educated about their options (myself included, apparently), and if the few who are, vote on the issues, they weaken the candidate from the major party with whom they have greater agreement.
Invictus (240 D)
24 Sep 12 UTC
Saying the Republicans are corrupt isn't entirely fair since they've been entirely out of power here for ten years, not even getting the chance to become corrupt. At this point I'd vote for a Trotskyist party if it meant Mike Madigan wouldn't be speaker anymore.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
24 Sep 12 UTC
I am certainly not educated on third parties even though I support the general idea of the implementation of them into our everyday government. I think there is one independent in Congress (correct me if there's more - or none, I guess), and whether you are Republican or Democrat, without saying why, we can all agree that neither party has been incredibly supportive of the other and a third party voice, not necessarily even the majority, would make for a much less biased Congress, which we don't have now.
Celticfox (100 D(B))
24 Sep 12 UTC
All I'm saying is the last 2 elected governors (one from each party) have been convicted of crimes they committed while in office. I doubt that either party is going to clean up any time soon .

Virtually all the people involved in Ryan's shenanigans are in prison or at least out of power. The current Illinois GOP crowd may well be full of crooks too, but there's not much reason to think so yet. The Republicans have cleaned up their act just by generational shift. Name one who isn't Judy Barr Topinka. Off the top of my head I can't remember who the nominee for governor in 2010 was and I dated a girl who ran his campus campaign. On the other hand, Springfield and Chicago are rife with corruption and apart from Blago going to jail and Daley retiring basically the whole structure is still there. The whole state's doomed and it's because of poor governance by both parties, but the absolute measure of corruption (at least since Ryan's been out of office) is incomparable.
Celticfox (100 D(B))

It was Bill Brady that ran in 2010. See I'm an Independent and neither party really appeals to me atm. I just wish we could have honest politicians (I fully realize this is an impossibility. It's just a wish.)
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))

This nation has never had honest politicians.
Celticfox (100 D(B))

bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))

The founding fathers were no more honest than today's politicians and I'm sure people pointed out what they were like back then.

@ Invictus: "Saying the Republicans are corrupt isn't entirely fair since they've been entirely out of power here for ten years"

Um, according to which calendar?

Jill Stein 85%
Gary Johnson 78%

A tie between Stein and Obama...
Tasnica (3366 D)
24 Sep 12 UTC
Now this is strange. Two candidates gave the same answer, but one was declared similar to me and the other was not:

-----
"How should the U.S. deal with Iran?"

You and Anderson: Maintain diplomacy while discouraging use of nuclear weapons

Obama's similar answer: Isolate through trade embargoes

Johnson and Stein's similar answer: Iran does not threaten our national security and there is no proof they are building a nuclear weapon

"How should the U.S. deal with Iran?"

Romney: Isolate through trade embargoes

Goode: Ignore their threats and cease all contact
-----

Obama and Romney have the same stance, but I apparently side with Obama but not Romney.

I got Stein, too... Personally, I feel third parties would have a better time of getting acceptance if they put forth their own candidates in congressional districts, but supported another party's presidential candidate, like what the People's Party and Democratic Party did in 1896: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People's_Party_(United_States)#Presidential_election_of_1896. That way, party supporters wouldn't need to kill their hopes of a presidential candidate at least somewhat close to them, while they could start getting grassroots support in local elections and still get to maintain autonomy without being subsumed into another party.
Octavious (2701 D)

Obama 76%
Romney 75%

....Really??? I've always known I don't give a damn who wins, but it's nice to have an independent system back me up! Does this make me a moderate?
Celticfox (100 D(B))

I'd like to see the third parties invited to the debates as well.

100 questions
I will provide a scenario to you all, and then ask you a question. You may all ask as many questions as you want to get to the answer to my question, but I'll only answer "yes," "no," or "it doesn't matter." If you already know the answer, please don't spoil it for the others. This is a group activity so read what others have asked and work together (in my experience, 2 people solve it much more quickly than 1, and a group of 4 usually gets it in 20-30 min. of so).

Hey guys! I wanna have sex. So instead of doing something normal, like, you know, asking my parents about it...I'm gonna ask a whole bunch of strangers on the internet. 'Cause, you know, I'm gonna be this big badass college guy who has sex all the time. Oh, yeah, how do babies work again?

Why wouldn't mods add more variants of game? At least these: Europe 1939, Colonial Diplomacy, Modern Diplomacy II, Youngstown - Redux.
May be these maps aren't balanced as well as existing ones, but I think they would be popular.

How does Drawing affect Ghost Rating?
If I draw a game with very bad players, due to somebody CDing or cheating, and it ends in a 6-way-draw with players that have really bad GR, my GR will probably decrease, or will it? And in winner-takes-all games, is drawing less equalized than in PPSC? thank you in advance.

Help with a player who wont vote unpause.
Hello, I was wondering how I might get a hold of the mods to help get a game going again. We have one player who wont vote unpause, and as a result the game has been halted for well over a month. Are we screwed or is there still hope of recovering our match?
