Actually there is because you can define it as a substancial loss, I would consider a couple hundred million dollars worth of advertising to be pretty substancial. It's not like McCain didn't have the same choice as Obama... he could have chosen the...  [Read More]

While I know he was a lawyer, I also know he was a politician (most politicians are lawyers), while it would be extremely hard to prosecute him on it because it was between candidates of opposing parties and then we get into accusations that rulings...  [Read More]

I think that for them to move on, a name change is important - 'Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia' has too much associated it with it, not least Yugoslavia. A name change would certainly be a move in the right direction, I think. @Web - We coul...  [Read More]

No he said that he would meet without preconditions. So I may have used the wrong word, but you've not addressed the point. There is a difference between diplomacy and sitting down face to face and legitimizing a lunatic. There's also a difference...  [Read More]

To me that's another reason NOT to vote for that individual. Whoever becomes the President of the USA is going to have a big impact on the rest of the world - I think it's refreshing that not only has Obama courted American voters, but they've also...  [Read More]

A new post for a new map - this one has a completely different style to the first one (that's the problem with using two different image programs :p). This is the start of a larger map of Perianor, one which will show more than just the capitals of...  [Read More]

A violent, fear-inspired genocide, perhaps? The Elskrym peoples in the north purged their lands of dragons, finally defeating the deadliest, Grymnir, after he wrought havoc on their lands in revenge for his slaughtered brethren, in a period known as...  [Read More]

Very cool, Astor! The "Elfwall" is an interesting addition, and the geography is nicely done, as well. It seems as though (the) Human empires have been trapped in Asul. As for the 'political scene,' it looks as though you've created four ma...  [Read More]

Ok, so we've got a few bites, and a few ideas. Before I start to think about possible ideas for plots, stories etc, what type of RP do people want? Serious, morally challenging type stuff? Or a light hearted romp? (well, not a romp, but you get what...  [Read More]

What about just after the end of the Dominion War, between 2375 and 2379? That's fairly blank space, but it's obviously a period of instability, with six major Galactic powers having just fought a very bloody war without much time to rebuild. I didn...  [Read More]

I like both of them, but I prefer the idea of being independent rather than affiliated with StarFleet or the Klingon Empire or something. That's one vote for the traders scenario, and one interested so far, then! That's the idea i've written more f...  [Read More]

I'm definitely willing to consider it. What do you have in mind? Well, that's the thing - there's plenty of things that could be great for a RP, but conversely, there's also plenty that could prove difficult. I'm leaning towards something such as t...  [Read More]

I'm more shocked that 600 people is only 6% of their workforce - I'm sure I read somewhere recently that Bioware only has around 500 staff - it really shows how much EA dominates the market. They haven't helped themselves recently, though, what...  [Read More]

Heh, however while they may be nonpartisan and I use the term loosely, a lot of these 'bringing it on himself' simply isn't true. So first you tout PRC as a fair source, and then you disregard them because there's a few points in there that don't fi...  [Read More]
