Gotham was in shambles.  KT walked down the street whistling, doing her best to stay in the middle to avoid the debris that still occasionally fell from half destroyed buildings.  Just getting around town was difficult enough before the earthquake, but now with all these disappearances and deaths the citizens of Gotham were ready to snap.  The thought of all the chaos set her to laughing to herself.  It was a horrid, flemish, snorty, avian laugh.

Little did she know, that on the rooftops above the citizens of Gotham had finally settled on someone to kill.  Torqez looked at Nolio as they walked away from the explosives they had placed and said, "I wonder what kind of goofy little umbrella she's carrying today?"  Nolio didn't have time to respond before the explosives went off, and the building across the street collapsed.  They ran down to get a look at their handy work and saw that finally the citizens had managed to do something right.  KT, the penguin, was dead.

To Clarify:

Nolio and Risingdown missed first round of voting.  RD's did not vote in the initial vote phase, therefore his vote during the extension is not counted.  If you miss 2 votes in the game, you will be killed off immediately.

Flint - 6 (Poley, WC, Tia, Torqez, TBO, Zarf)

WC - 4 (Oxygen, HydroP, Xara, EvilRunt)

Even for a city like Gotham, used to masked sociopaths running amok, the past 24 hours had been incredibly eventful. The people of Gotham clearly had no idea who the killers were, the city was in the exact state of chaos that the Mob were looking for.  As the evening came on, finally some semblance of organization took place as there were too clear factions split between Flint and Walking_Corpse.  Neither of them offered any defense to their name, and after a long drawn out day of curse words and thrown bottles Tia stepped up in front of the crowd and coughed into her hand.

It started on a Lazy February weekend.  UD lounging around on irc, when suddenly the beautiful Sol Invictus arrived with reports that they were under attack.  This of course is a good look at the current state of IC, with top ranking families raiding bottom families in order to increase their own planet count without requiring any real work.  Come Monday, the inactive Insane came on, was informed of the situation, and decided to cast a few OH's in aid of his allies.  Alas, this constitutes the much larger alliance of 70 and 80 to say "you started it", completely ignoring the raid done by them to 86, and to declare war on 77 as well.

Figure I best post it here as well for when they go back through and edit it!

Don't think this would work until they find an effective way to say that no naps that aren't signed on relations page are valid.

I'm with shadow, possibly center it.

While we're on this, how difficult would it be to make the top info bar more defined in general?  Could keep rez info, just added time clock, would make sense to have the "new message" notification appear there, prolly a few other things that would make sense there

Would it be easier to include it in a sidebar rather than put it into each individual page?

Also, rather than a task list (as I feel forums are perfectly fine for that?)  Take Hydro's idea a different way, and rather than having a different message for each person, make that person click something to confirm that they've seen the updated message

I think it would be a good idea to move it to the top of the HQ page, above the player Affairs of state.

Big part of the reason care is so expensive in the US for people under 65 is Medicare.  Medicare, in its current form, has set payments allocated to each little detail of medicine.  In many cases these payments are right at the cost of what it costs the doctor's/hospitals/etc. to function, and there's not much of a profit.  Therefore the cost for non-medicare patients is increased enough to make up the difference.

vissertje's point is also huge.  you can find someone winning ridiculous settlements from botched medical procedures on a daily basis.  hospitals, doctor's, etc. don't lose money on these issues, we just end up paying for the doctor's attention, nurse care, drugs, medical equipment used, stay in the hospital, meals, AND the huge insurance coverage that all doctors, nurses, and facilities have to protect themselves.


That said, I have very little problem with telling insurance companies that they need to have options available for everybody.  What I have a problem with, is me paying to cover people that can't afford the care.  You have asthma? your rate goes up and you get put into a bracket with other asthma patients.  You smoke?  You bet your ass its your right to do so, but to hell if it is my responsibility to pay for your care.  We've become a nation that confuses the word "right" with "privilege", and it pisses me off X(
