Belated 4200th & Early 4300th post for T_6, Congrats! -

Anniversary is very good as well. Unfortunately I don’t own it and only play it with a friends game.

@Gargantua:

They “construed” attacks on terrible tournament design, as personal since they designed it.

That’s not my problem.  Read my words again carefully.  And the first stone was cast when it was suggested, AA players weren’t competent enough to caluclate NO’s at the end of their turn, or that they can’t be trusted to use tech or play the 41 setup.

As the natural champion of “the people” around here… I jumped to your defence. You’re welcome GHR2. :)

How did you interperet any of that as an attack on the people?  Are you seriously assuming that all brand new players know all the NO’s for every country and knows how every single tech works and how to roll with them?  Because a significant amount of people who go to gaming conventions are people who walk around and try out new games.  So it is logical that for some tournament hosters might want to make things as simple as possible so that new players are less than intimidated and that the game runs faster.

Never mind pls delete this post. fixed now.

“Аэрофлот” решил выделить 20 миллионов баксов на компенсации пассажирам, застрявшим в аэропортах Москвы в заключительные дни декабря. Вред каждого из собственных клиентов перевозчик оценил в размере стоимости билета в один конец.

Интерестно… Вот что вы об этом думаете?

@Yanny:

The earth is warming up, I think theres pretty good evidence of that. Underground temperatures have risen a few degrees, polar ice caps are melting, all small signs. The cause is also probably a combination of greenhouse gases, the shifting equilibrium of the earth, and other small things. However it is a dangerous trend and we need to take steps to prevent it. Should it be our top priority, no.

The evidence is not as good as many people think. In the 1970s the trend was that temperatures were falling. It all depends on where you start counting from. An experiment with double the amount of carbon dioxide proved that plants with the increased carbon dioxide levels grew to double their normal size and could produce double the amount of oxygen, therefore sustaining a larger population. Even the satellite proof fails to take clouds into account, which lower he temperature a great deal.

Ummmm ‘a ferret who wishes to take its own life’? (you’re telling a joke, right?)

we never should of been in nam. Diem was a jack-ass, and the country didn’t want to fight.

At least we were successful protecting south korea.

I like to put my IC in Kwang because if the nasty little americans get long range air craft, they can reach any ships you build out of japan from AK. If its on Kwang then newly built ships can be out of range. Also its farther away from russia, but not that far from moscow. Plus I like it because if its on Manchiria, its on the front lines. When in Kwang if the russians americans or british make an offencive it can still hold out.
