Still waiting on the spiritual successor to Close Combat.

Mostly White March stuff. But towards the end Josh and Adam discuss future crowd funding and meeting with ownership to discuss their next Kickstarter/Fig project. Smart money is that it'll be PoE 2.

Kentucky County Clerk still Refuses to issue Gay Marriage License
Leferd replied to BruceVC's topic in Way Off-Topic
Yeah, I actually find this internet disparaging of Davis through social media and memes to be in bad taste. I disagree with her and believe she should face the consequences of her (in)action, but this is still bullying. -

Yep. Additionally, in many other counties, the County Clerk also acts as the Registar of Voters and is in charge of running and ensuring the integrity of Elections. -

@ GD and others You guys realize its Republicans who would be making the whole spurious Rosa Parks analogy....its an insult to your intelligence. They are basically suggesting you guys are rednecks who live in the wild and aren't as informed as " us city folk " This would be a good and understandable time to switch to Democrats and Hilary...no one will judge you Bruce, speaking as a democrat -- albeit with fascist tendencies -- there are Republicans who absolutely get it, and Democrats that are plain morons. The problem with today's political climate in America is that the loud voices tend to drown out those who are willing pragmatists. I personally have no problem with most Republicans I know --hell I'm very good friends and even related to many of them. Unfortunately, good sense has been hijacked by partisan rhetoric and irresponsible governance. Debate is good. Discourse is good. I want good, responsible Republicans and Democrats actually working together to form a working government. I would vote for another Eisenhower or George H.W. Bush. I would've even been tempted by Jon Huntsman had he won the Republican primary in 2012. -

Volo probably has it right of me. Fascist wing of the Democrat party. -

It wouldn't be the first time that a political liberal/progressive made a stand against government court order due to personal religious convictions. Exhibit A: The English Saint, Sir Thomas More. -

Please tell me she is not ....surly It's a matter of public record that Davis is a Democrat. She should know, being that she is the County Clerk-Recorder, and thus the custodian of said records. -

Well...technically, she is a democrat. -

Volo. It's her choice that she's going to jail. She even has a get out of jail card. All she has to do is follow a legal court order in her position as a government official. Or resign. -

Seems reasonable to me. From my understanding, isn't jail pretty standard for being in contempt of the court? She can go free anytime. Either step down or issue the licenses. It's her choice if she wants to play the part of the martyr. -

A troupe of six Ancient Memory talented chanters packing firearms with multiple overlapping chants of: Come, Come Soft Winds of Death Sure-Handed Ila Nocked Her Arrows with Speed Lo, Their Endless Host, the Harbingers Doom Thick Grew Their Tongues, Stumbling O'er Words and with all six also simultaneously summoning 3 skeletons would be pretty rad.

White March - Why Start Midgame ?
Leferd replied to Black-'s topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Only 8.6% of all Steam PoE users have completed the game? Seems like that's pretty much a more than justifiable reason. That's not counting the (i assume many) players who finished the game but used the console for one reason or another. You dont get the achievement if you do that. But what exactly would be your definition of..."many" -- specifically where in the linear line between 8.6% and 100%? I'm guaranteeing it's nowhere even close as..."most" players as the OP stated, right? -

I think she should follow the law or vacate her office. That would be the sensible approach. -

There's ways of relieving one from office especially for misconduct or abuse of office. But she can't be fired in the normal traditional sense. Gay couples don't even need to go out of state. There are 119 other counties in the state of Kentucky who are under court order to not refuse marriage applicants due to sexual orientation. Lots of businesses post this sign. Usually, it's used to keep the general rabble and troublemakers away. Aside from crazy gun kooks and deranged bigots, most racists will take your money regardless of skin color. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a very powerful law and specifically prohibits places of hospitality from discriminating on the basis of race, gender, religion, or national origin. If someone were to refuse me due to my ethnicity, I'm going to document the incident and call a civil rights attorney. Moving back to Rowan County, Ms. Davis is clearly in the wrong and is not fulfilling her duties as County Clerk. If she claims that she holds no hatred towards gay couples and believes that by exercising her office's duties she will be judged by a higher power as committing mortal sin, the sensible action would be for her to step down. If she doesn't well, it's obvious she's grandstanding and has a martyrdom complex. -

She can't simply be fired. The Rowan County Clerk is an elected position. That said, she's in clear contempt of the court(s) and appropriate action should be taken against her and those in her staff who are refusing a legal court order. Also, there's a lot of unnecessary grandstanding on both sides -- if the couples really want to get married, just apply for the marriage license at another county. -
