The Muslims and the Irish in liverpool haven't been around long enough. Not to mention.. why would an Irishman in Liverpool not be a bitter fuck. The Irish started coming to America in the 1820's with the majority comingi n the 1840's and 50's. They did not blend into American society properly unti...

Generally speaking, in the United States, second generation immigrants are generally the most "american" because they are revolting from the partents. Third generation immigrants are generally "rennisance" immigrants because they see thier old culture in their grandparents, and ...

That's almost identical to the US history of treating immigrant groups like shit for 2 to 3 generations and then forgetting they were immigrants in the first place. AFAIK, that's the usual progression almost everywhere. The exceptions (like Turks in Germany or black people in the USA) tend to invol...

Seriously, Gnosticism, I have worked with enough Englishmen to see the general problems in your worldview philosphy. The probability is not ZERO. It's extreemely small and currently declining, in part because there is a growing trend in the UK and in Europe that multculturalism, the idea that they ...

I don't know if anyone else in this thread lives in the UK, but I do, and when I see this OMGSHARIA crap coming from Americans, it angers and depresses me in equal measure. Seriously, we have enough reactionaries, racists and crypto-fascists over here spouting that shit as it is. Britain is not in a...

Discussing the moral and philosophical content of our entertainment is pretty important IMO, as it usually leads to a deeper appreciation of the merits and flaws of our entertainment. I enjoy reading the Dune novels much more now that I've studied some political theory, for example, and my enjoyment...

While it's probably a good thing that this thread has been split out, seeing my name as the thread starter did give me a bit of a shock.

Ditto.

I hate gem loss events, I really really do.

Gnost. do you confirm that? So I can update the first post.

Confirmed. My first choice is Caelum.

So I bought this game after reading the discussions here and at SA, and I feel just about ready for my first MP game. I have no particular preferences re: settings, except that we don't play with CBM. Diplomacy arrangements look fine to me. Nation preferences - 1) Caelum 2) Agartha 3) Marignon EDIT:...

Congrats Tzor. You've caused me to lose complete interest in this thread with your bullshit conservative red scare crap.

Hey, in my country, I'm considered centre-left at best. I thought that line was hilarious.

Thus, this is little more than a propaganda stunt by the Republicans. To what end? Game On, fbmf To portray the Democrats (and maybe past Republican administrations, too) as insufficiently dedicated to the Constitution. Also, as Zinegata noted, to identify themselves as 'defenders of the Constituti...

200+ years of social change and Supreme Court case law stand between us and the original meaning of the Constitution, and pretending that we can overlook those things is pure stupidity. So why not write a new Constitution, or formally amend the existing one? Game On, fbmf Ideally, that's what would...

Reading the Constitution will not tell Congresscritters how to do their jobs, because the modern United States is nothing like the elitist agrarian republic imagined by the Founding Fathers. 200+ years of social change and Supreme Court case law stand between us and the original meaning of the Cons...

It's a pointless distraction at worst, and a trivial piece of symbolism at best. No, I mean it.

Maybe I want to play the same character over a long period, to explore where I can take that character, what kind of development he might have. what does that have to do with what level the character is? you arent talking about character development when you involve a level. you are talking about a...

Well fvck me, I just realised that Hero 6th is the system I've been looking for to run my Lord of Light game.
