This has honestly given me something to reflect on. Good show, AJ.
(Yes, I mean it.)

I'd vote for finnish, but that is not in the list so I have to say german. Cool language and really usefull if you wanna travel in Europe.
Finnish is an epic language. Too bad I'm not fluent.
Other than that I voted French, German, and Russian, because they were the common languages I enjoyed learning the most. Would also agree on Dutch although I haven't learnt much of it myself. I do know some basics like "goede/gooie morgen," "dag," and "dank jij veld" (sp?) but little else.
That said, in my linguistics endeavours I've encountered languages that appealed to me far more
Just don't learn Chechen. That language is hard on the throat and then some. Kalaallisut (aka Greenlandic), Bashkir, and Yoruba are some of the more interesting ones. -
I knew I liked you for a reason, Mundokiir
I think the concept of forcing an alliance to disband is incredibly damaging to the community. I still have a bad taste in my mouth from the NoV-Continuum war because of that, even though I had only been playing for a little under two months at the time.

I consider myself very fortunate to have not been on the end of some of those crippling reps, or to have my alliance forcibly disbanded. I even recall asking Xiphosis after WotC why he didn't make us decom military wonders/improvements, because I was under the mistaken impression (consider the era this took place in) that this was normal.
I think this is why CCC and NV got such respect after Karma. They actually put the kind of mercy you outlined here into practice against an opponent they might not have exactly liked that much going in.
In any case, I agree with you 100% about imposing terms on a whole alliance. Well said.

I remember having an IRC discussion with you about that poem a while back.
Anyway, I'm rooting for ya in your transition period. It was an incredibly hard time for me, and having the French Immersion Incident happen that summer didn't help at all. -
Good to hear some objectivity in these trying times.
Well-written, Bob. -
Welcome to TOOL. You'll be seeing a lot of me around. Especially if you ever want to be involved in war
Just so you know, I'm Jarkko on TOOL forums.

An update on this - I decided to resign from TOOL foreign affairs and scale back my Inquisition duties as a result of said burnout. But hey, I'm still gonna RP-blog. Matter of fact I think I'll go do that now.

Sadly I must also agree.

More evil than the last voter. (That's not saying much tbh
I don't think Stumpy's evil at all. Awesome, maybe 
) -
I like.
Sounds like the point of view of someone who had a really rough night, though.
-
I'll be rooting for England and the Netherlands as always. Since Canada never makes it.
-
I was actually at pains to get the last 25
But to be honest, the alliance would never have worked. Too many people who don't get along. Which is why I had to put that disclaimer in that I don't give a rat's if any two people out of the two hundred hate each other, because I know damn well that some do :lol:

Personally I don't care what color you are or where your from. We all breath the same air, drink the same water and look at the same sky. Get over yourselves.
lol this is exactly why when I create players for soccer management games, I try to have people from every nation I can. Still can't find many Turkmen names though
-
I come from a small town in British Columbia called Chemainus, and racism is there, although it's not to the point that you described above. Usually the Native Americans would keep to themselves, although not all of them were like that.
And of course, there were the jokes, which drove me batty.
Some people were really crass about it. -
I agree with you in principle, Mia.
However this won't stop me from heckling either the human machines of hate [/mandatoryfearfactory], the pseudo-idealistic, or the n00bs who think too highly of themselves and come up with these grandiose plans of Bob-domination only to get knocked flat on their derriere.
(Not talking about any established alliances btw.) -
GR-CCC is only an MDP.
Anyway, I'm rooting for ya in your transition period. It was an incredibly hard time for me, and having the French Immersion Incident happen that summer didn't help at all.

If I wasn't a tech bank, I'd try and come up with something witty. And probably fail miserably
But yeah, those are funny.
