  1. What about France ? http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2013/07/is-the-british-royal-family-worth-the-money/278052/ They do cost the British people a negligble amount, cancelled out by the presumed tourist revenue, it seems. So I guess they're just like Guard Dog said they are, like a zoo attraction
  2. Darn, too slow.
  3. Is funny when mushroom management affects management itself, but at least it makes this hideous project at work bearable. A little.
  4. 230 million pounds and 3 soldiers, seems pretty good
  5. Yes, and I would assume the same from a PM's son serving anywhere. As for a government just seizing land, well, they can do that if push comes to shove (and if they're booting the royals, I assume the mood will be anti-royal anyway, so who'll care). But ok, I get it, you love the Royals, etc.
  6. http://www.panarabiaenquirer.com/wordpress/royal-baby-to-be-named-qatar-airways-after-landmark-sponsorship-deal/
  7. Heh, would be an interesting court case, if the government just doesn't seize it as part of giving them the boot. Still, you'd have to imagine they'd keep high ranking royals safe regardless of said royal's wishes, may be cynical to think so,
  8. Well, some animals probably do likewise for their zoo, Bruce. The military service bit, well, have to wonder at how deep they get in, so to speak. I thought it was just Andrew that went on a trip to the Falklands, not Charles and him. Still, they do charity work and so on, so not as if they're completely idle.
  9. Seems like you are thinking it is simple as that, based on your post. Could argue for a lot of junk that way, though, heh.
  10. Can you post that link? It was just a toggle to shut off the coverage of Middleton's delivery.
  11. Media like frivolous junk. I did laugh at the 'Republican?' link on the Guardian site though.
  12. Still mucking around in M&B, kind of not sure what to do at the moment - warband is rather small. But still finding fights here and there, did get a craptastic village at least. I guess I'll give that a break once Shadowrun launches, though.
  13. So now a new argument is that the game needs romances as it'll enhance profitability ?
  14. Where did I say that active lobbying to have it in P.E. would continue? It was just my semi-humorous guess that, if someone who hasn't seen such an announcement (that happens) were to post something, it might run into the general debate over whether romance in video games is good/bad additive/restrictive etc. That's a rather universal topic, not just about P.E. Well if they said no, what would the debate consist of at that point - they'd have to argue for it to be put back in, no?
  15. Based on the way the internet/game forums tend to work ... not much would cease. The debate would probably just shift direction ... if/whenever the topic came up again. It's not a debate that is confined to a single game, really. Course, I'm a cynical old bat. If they did include it, probably would keep going but arguing over particulars, as if this chatter matters. If they said nope, it'd probably die at that - can't see the pro-romance people lobbying further in vain as they're not pathetic people.
  16. The forum drama is idiotic, you fool, was referring to Monte and CrazyPea being snippy at each other.
  17. That sure looks like trying to score a point though, waving your experience in his face (look at your question at the end). Anyway, it's idiotic forum drama.
  18. If people are contentious, it's just due to them waging this fight way back before the Kickstarter even ended. Same old grind - some need it, some dislike it, others don't care.
  19. I'd want romance iff it revolves around knife fighting and vodka.
  20. Yep, you're just about as annoying as Merin on this. No one can say that the backers want a romance option or not or are just indifferent (you people keep including the last group as 'pro', though). So really, who knows. As for gamers at large, well, to be honest, I assume a non-trivial amount might be for 'romance', but that is a pretty varied definition in games. But PE isn't aimed at the gaming community at large, no ?
  21. I'm pretty sure someone somewhere has made a better relationship between the two, maybe something fancy like an ODE.
