As usual, Brad isn't running things right:
He could have sold the forum if he did it properly - something like the following:
1. State what he's doing: "Hi guys, we're opening a pay-to-play forum."
2. State why he's doing it: "Because we didn't make/aren't gonna make our kickstarter...
Yep. Pulled my pledge. A new "old school" mmo will happen - eventually - but it won't be coming from this crew.
Brad did not learn the key lesson of Vanguard. He is not a good project manager and should stick to design.
Weekly reminder: if you are a fan join in the emu effort. I believe the devs hope to eventually make a new client. Right now though, they need data, lots and lots of data.
Smed can't be trusted to keep his promises, Brad can't be trusted to manage MMO development. Slightly different issues. Smed needs to go and Brad needs to be working under/for a competent producer.
I bought into the eqn hype at SOE live, but came to my senses. Storybricks may be uber but...
No. That's why insurance was cheaper for healthy people before they were forced onto Obamacare. That's why the employer mandate was illegally extended. Because democrats didn't want 40 million healthy people to realize they have been conned before midterms. Did you not read anything about...
it was never going to work. Obamacare relies on healthy poorer young people subsidizing the health care of unhealthy richer old people. Unless you are a baby boomer you should be outraged.
Socialism is great until you run out of other people's money. Venezuela's socialist experiment is going down in flames as we speak. California's too, albeit more slowly.
You and Burnbaby are welcome to explain how we are going to pay for and staff these unidentified yet apparently awesome...
Are you high? If a Saudi woman reports rape in Saudi Arabia she will get blamed for it and very well might get executed by a male relative in an honor killing.
Fucking autocorrect.
@Kruegan. Obamacare is worse than what it replaced. So yeah bring back the old and busted. Better than the new and totally fucked.
Looks to me like you're trying to change the subject. Unable to defend your weak sauce philosophy?
@Tuco I don't have to humor anyone except myself and I am enjoying the chum in the water very much, thank you.
If we go all fascist like you and the rest of your ilk want, the sky is the limit. If Norway can emulate Kubrick, I don't see why the US left can't turn America into Brazil (the movie, not the country - fucking words, how do they work again Tuco?)
More places than you, that's for sure. Haven't been to Norway but if I get the urge to go all Hannibal Lecter it would be at the top of my places to dine list.
What you talking about wormie? I dig Norway. It's like A Clockwork Orange but an actual country not a classic dystopian movie. That's artistry on a scale hitherto unseen.
This is why the pro baby killing side will lose. You can only get away with claiming a human is subhuman for so long before reality catches up with you. Just ask the 1860 Democratic Party.
They are pretty good. Muslim youths riot in Sweden with little to no consequences and if you kill 77 children in Norway you only get 20 years in prison with free prostitute visits. Can't wait until they start making rape victims apologize to their rapist. Sounds perfect for assholes.
Taxpayer funded education does not get more efficient. Good professors are not a fungible commodity, knowledge can not be served up like so many McDonalds hamburgers. Jesus tap dancing Christ.
Lol at debunked chart. Try not using a chart that's based on 2004 data, doesn't break out military v non military spending and doesn't reflect current voting patterns.
Good to see you joining in and supporting the liberal bullshit in thus thread.
Also words don't usually have specific meanings you ignorant slut. They usually have multiple meanings and the author's intended meaning must be interpreted from context. And that interpretation is ultimately...
The South, Midwest and Rockies could survive and thrive without left coast and NPenn,New York,NJ,New England. The reverse is not true, even if we throw in Illinois and Florida.
No sale. Burden of proof is on you for suggesting that country of 316 million can be run as efficiently as 5 million.
So really, how exactly do you plan to get the trains to run on time?
Historically, you socialists resort to fascism.
I'm all for a breakup these days especially if it separates the left coast and New York/NE from the more productive parts.
And yes, a country with 5 million people is vastly different from one with 315 million. Except in illogical up is down liberal world. And you wonder why conservatives...
Yes indeed they are. Upward mobility has only been decreasing since democrats begin the "war on poverty" back in the 60s. That coupled with the rise of the ideologically liberal NEA has doomed the poor. Conservatives didn't come up with the idea of the projects and sticking all the poor...
Well the Constitution is amendable, and has been Amended as recently as 1970 or so with the drop in voting age to 18. So I'm going to say it's cool to stick with a textual interpretation for the most part, though I'll note most folks seem okay with reasonable interpretations of the text: can't...
I'm going to go with not so much. Feel free to show me where Marx mentions 3D printers. Also, with respect to the deleted stuff: way to miss the point. Nobody really has a clue where capitalism is heading. Maybe Vinge's Singularity, maybe the Bpocalypse, maybe something else.
