…how playing in the sewage is likely to lead to problems.
Sure anal sex might be bad, mkay. Agreed. Logical even.
But heterosexuals do that as well. Gay women don’t. So the point is ‘don’t have anal sex’ then? Discourage anal sex instead of being gay, I guess ;)
I’d still love to see the link, if you can find it again.

Well,
I guess the question is a more fundamental one:
Is homosexuality a bad thing?
Since, if it is, then gay marriages should be outlawed right along with homosexuality itself. If it is okay to be gay then gay marriage is fine, too.
Marriage is not just a religious thing, it’s an affirmation of the undying love between two individuals, and in many countries has some positive financial effects (think taxes etc.) and simplifies a lot of administration.
I_killed_mufasa:
I think you, and the writers of the article(s) you mentioned, seem to be confusing a hedonistic, promiscous lifestyle with homosexuality.
Granted, I can imagine young males without the influence of young women (who can get pregnant, for starters) might be a bit more wild on the sexual side, but to generalize this to the complete gay-community is a bit off. What about lesbians for instance? Could you post a link to that 2nd article? And stress on gay people induced by a less-than-tolerant society could account for some years of reduced life expectancy I guess ;)
have fun

@Guerrilla:
your a naturaul me lad!great post… better than mine! I didn’t see the Machevelli Variant in the rule book… where is it?
Hehe thanks I guess ;)
Machiavelli was a separate game Avalon Hill game based on the original Diplomacy. It features feuding warlords in the greater Italy region.
Not too sure about what’s in Diplomacy exactly but Machiavelli has fleets, fortified cities, random famine, assasination and rebellions.
It is discontinued though :(
happy hiking.

Hi all, been trolling here for a while, but here goes: 1st post ;)
Have been playing Machiavelli (a advanced Diplomacy variant) for 3 sessions now, and that game is the bomb…
You are generally too weak to do anything by yourself, so you have to make pacts with other players. Which can be broken when the time is ripe, of course.
I never had so much intense discussing, lying, manipulating and deceit in a game, I’d advise everyone to try it. Be careful though, you might lose friends over this game…
