It isn't a dick measuring contest, it is a contest of ideas. Hopefully some of the audience members are not invested in either side of the debate, or are looking for information to pick a side. I have gotten a number of PMs from people who read some of my posts in the BR and learned from them, or had additional questions on my points and were genuinely interested in them.
It is a combination of the feeling I get when that happens, and the fun of the battle of wits that keeps me coming back.

I dont argue to win my opponent over, its the 3rd parties watching.

There was an alliance that did that once, and then they got killed.

You can also get paid via paypal.

Yes. Old Spice works well and isn't too expensive, Axe is for high-schoolers leaving football practice.

nah they are gold dealers they buy at one price sell it for higher and make money on the spread. they also usually charge commissions and sell storage services for buyers.
-
Are you saying your specific combo (including not buying infra) might be a first?
-
Consider the fact that you made that !@#$@#$ post.
Wonderful point, bravo.
-
while affirmative action is dumb, this is probably the dumbest thing here.
Consider the underlying assumptions of affirmative action.

I too find it is hard to debate with people who support affirmative action.

The beauty of the US system is that it is not supposed to create an effective ruling government. It is supposed to be inefficient, create political stagnation and dispute.
The best thing we could do is add term limits so congress isn't a career, then maybe we can get some principled politicians in place to actually try to fix problems with the system, rather than perpetuate the system's problems for personal gain.

The mods are actually pretty good at this kind of thing. Sharing a network isn't allowed, but it doesn't warrant a ban either if there isn't reason to believe you are using multis or it is just a one-off.
At least that is how I always understood it.

Benedict did do a good job, and he resigned because he feels he can no longer do the job effectively because he cannot travel. The guy is in his 80s.

The real question is... why would I want 120 or more frames per second to play Cybernations?

Right, the key to success in CN, as in many other things is to watch, learn the ropes and figure out how things work before you start telling others what to do. Could some of the vets be nicer? Sure. But When you have been here for 6 or 7 years, and you know the ins and outs of the game. It is pretty ridiculous when someone like Winner tells you you are wrong about game mechanics, alliance politics etc.
-
We aren't. Most new players don't post here anyway. But those that do, often post statements, arguments etc. about things of which they have no context for idea. You are generalizing the reaction to new players based on a small number of datapoints.
-
The community is a product of the game. Each alliance is pretty close, the OWF is full of trolls. Because it is neutral ground for a bunch of opponents in competition. In the case of Winner, he gets the response he demands based on his posting and refusal to accept advice when it is given. It seems harsh but we have all watched people who acted very foolish figure out their mistake, eat some crow and be made a better player for it.
If new players are willing to learn and be taken under the wing of older players they will be treated well. If they are unwilling and instead go on tangents they will not be treated well.
But no the OWF posters are not the reason the game is losing players.
-
You already post enough of what I wish really was satire.
-
Seahawks will not be in the superbowl.
-
You are ignoring the other half of the story, where he forgives us, sends his son to save us and is merciful.
-
He did, but he gave us freewill, meaning we could choose to reject him.
-
You don't understand at all. God created the world as a paradise for man,then we $%&@ed up and rejected him. It is man's evil that corrupts the world, not God's.

Better, at what exactly. The reason I have played since 2007 is not because it is high-tech/fast-paced etc. It is because it is simple. If I had to log-in everyone 20 minutes to maximize in-game income or whatever like some browser games I would never have lasted a month. But you can be competitive and build a nation with a few minutes a day/week/month. This and the way in which the resources/wars work in-game make it so that alliances and out of game politics are the bigger draw. Rather than trying to build too much into the game itself, the community created the dynamics and the politics on our own. This is a far better situation because in-game mechanics are limiting from an RP perspective. So while certain features are nice, drastic changes to the game would be counter-intuitive to the thing that the game does well.
