wait what? dont be mad at the thief, or murderer, or rapist, but at the police for not catching all of them? what kind of messed-up world do you live in?

Also 'mods must do their jobs' ... sure, how about you start paying them, then complain about them doing their 'job' ? however, they're all volunteers, who spend their free time hunting for multis, setting up galaxies, and listening to you guys nagging their heads off on irc, and as a thank you, they get told they suck. Honestly, ive been asked twice if i was interested in becoming a mod, and ive happily declined as many times, exactly for those reasons. I have an enormeous respect for those mods who are actually moderating the game, and keep doing that under such circumstances.

So instead of looking at it from a selfish point of view, where mods have to be thankful to be allowed to work for you, try looking at it the other way around. Show some respect and gratitude, and maybe the mods would be more motivated ... ever thought of that? It doesnt start with them, it starts with you.

Any team HC game and we'll be back

Indeed. I didnt.

And throwing down the pieces of silver into the temple, he departed, and he went and hanged himself.
(matthew 27:5)

And Jesus said to them, “You go, and do likewise.” (Luke 10:37)

Straight from the bible Einstein. You can take it out of context and then interpret it literally, then abide by it (please?). I hope they dont pour this into government policy however. Otherwise, stop abusing out-of-context bits of a 2000y old book to formulate modern policies. Mind you, doesnt go just for you, goes for any religious person.

Let's differentiate between 2 things : global warming and pollution.

- Global warming IS happening. I'll NOT say this is purely due to human interference, though we probably are contributing, but noone actually has any clue to what degree, really. Fact is that temperatures change over the course of time, with or without human interference. Hell, theres quite a few scientists who are saying this is the usual increase of temperature we tend to see just before a big drop, and that we'll have a mini ice age (no, not the wooly mammoth type) somewhere between 2020 and 2030.
- Pollution is bad. Anyone who says differently is just a dumbass. We are killing species at an astonishing rate due to it, poisoning our own habitat, and thus ourselves. If you still think it'll be allright and we can just go on like this, try the following : shit on your couch, then keep using it while avoiding your dumpsite. Keep shitting in your couch continuously and see how long you can keep avoiding it. This is what we are doing to our planet, and in the end, to ourselves. Tip : you can buy a new couch, but last i checked on ebay they were all out of fresh planets.

So the question is not if we should stop polluting to avoid climate change. Climate change will happen with or without us. We should stop polluting simply because it's the obvious thing to do. Otherwise we WILL enter the 4th stage of habitat-related evolution (step 1 : a dirty human in a clean world / step 2 : a clean human in a clean world / step 3 : a clean human in a dirty world - those we've had, there's only one left we havent had yet, im sure you'll figure it out).

wow you guys really dont understand the difference between simple and complex systems do you? lets put it simple and in terms you understand. The president of the USA is the first citizen of the USA. According to your simple system is representative for the complex system ideas, we can thus conclude that all americans are half-kenyan, half-hawaiian democrat colored people. Or maybe, just maybe, the 'system' is a lil more complex than that?

nah, thats coz its a smartphone, so at least one of you is smart

I laughed so hard at this

Yup, agree too, it's called imperial conflict not imperial infrawhoring (eh 35? ), but still there should be a reward for those that handle infra best, otherwise there's no point in even having it, and we should all just grab attacker races, get fleets for free, and do away with bankers and resourcers So, there should be at least a small period that allows those players that are not attackers to do their thing, and actually make a difference, instead of just being oppers and/or running damage control all round This round however, there was almost no room to make a significant difference with infra before the attacks started, and thats a bit of a shame.
