  1. Just like Brexit couldn't have happened and Trump couldn't have become president, right? No one likes a smartass alum But yes I was going to mention this as its true....but Elerond and I still dont think it will happen. The French election is not the same as the US election or why Brexit happened oh, you are right on one point. it is not the same as it is not bipolar. Le Pen will most likely win, but the question is, can she win with enough marigin, that will give her party autonomous rule, or will she need someone to coalition and thus go on compromise. I can assure you that French have had enough... this migrant crisis is just another thorng and probably a drop to spill the bucket. I mean, have you been in Calais recently? or worse, have you been in central Paris? it's a proverbial **** hole on the main streets as people are building camps there... the recent terror attacks in last year are also a point that is in favof of Le Pen, worse economic situation of "middle class" similarly to US and UK... the current generation of 30s is the first generation, which is actually less wealthy in terms of purchase power than their parents... and that's a recipe for a disaster... not only that, but also the fact that natives are in demographic slump and there is aging society stretching state's fund to intolerable margins. Is it really that bad, it sounds terrible ? That needs to be addressed, what is Le penn going to do in the outcome she does win? I haven't been to France for about 10 years ? http://www.reuters.com/article/us-europe-migrants-paris-idUSKBN12Z0JR
  2. I was also surprised by some of the results in the end slides, but then again i was still mostly exploring options via various choices. perhaps there are some quest conditions you need to meet, more dialog options gated by background or companion that you have in the party when talking to a "faction"
  3. The WElves will have an outpost mechanic, it will be a single building designed to one of three roles. those areas outside of Athel Loren will be a chore to secure, as you will need to have roaming armies to fend of all the hordes and enemies. It's probably also a gameplay test for droping regional occupation for other factions, and allow them to build similar racial outposts on terrains, which previously they could only raze.

  5. What is this? http://thefederalist.com/2016/11/17/turning-colleges-democrats-playgrounds-makes-students-weak-whiny/
  6. Too all of you pointy ear lovers: Also - more info and 5mi vid: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-11-17-hands-on-with-total-war-warhammers-newest-race-the-wood-elves
  7. there are 4 possible outcomes in the act 1... i do not recall being forced into anything. There was a trade off in decisions though
  8. Not sure, I like both, although it looks like more work went into PoE, than Tyranny. Tyranny, has interesting C&C and it seems it straight up set up itself for DLCs and expansion (just look how many icons are unlit on the Mountain spire and that all endings are basically cut at one place, with things developing in various areas as per your choices) In both titles I do not like combat that much. interface is better in PoE, the only interesting part implemented in Tyranny is the spell crafting. The unique cores tied to characters like gravelight or life heavily change gameplay and in case of gravelight, you need to work for it. I feel like heavy armor is really useless in Tyranny due to lower party count, and game is more about outDPSing and outhealinh your enemy, so heavy armor is kind of meh... dodge and parry with deflection way superior. In PoE you could afford to have 1 or 2 guys in heavy armor
  9. People are stupid, I thought we had that covered...
  10. to be honest, combat is its weakest point. I'd rather have it turn based, but w/e
  11. This seems to be the default choice for most people on the first run. Anybody chose chorus, rebels or nobody? My first run to take the power in my own hands and made everyone kneel before me or die.
  12. well to be honest at least he gave a middle finger to all
  13. Must have glitched out i think. It should be near where the Tunon's court is. it's fairly dark, but should be there. If not then you've glitched out somewhere
  14. Yeah. I've got nothing. I've been around my original spire a bunch of times. Talked to everybody. Clicked on the doohickey on top of that. I've got no reason to cast any edicts since I've got no enemies in any of the places I can select for edicts. I've gone down to Ascension Hall and nothings changed or new clickable there. There's absolutely nothing new that I can find that actually ends anything. There's no other options available. Edit: I think Life was about the 3rd or 4th sigil I got. There are 11 schools you can find in total. Once you will get back to the spire you need to basically declare war by using your power on Northern Empire. It's hard to click on that map though. I was searching for a spot where to put it.
  15. It advocates for bloody revolution to steal the property of others to enforce poverty.What do you think is the link between equity and poverty? People respond to incentives. This goes against all recent research on employee productivity, though. This seems to have been true in the industrial age where everyone did algorithmic tasks and everyone worked to survive, but a significant chunk of that has been replaced by technology with more to come. Incentives for heuristic tasks, especially for people who live comfortably, have been shown to decrease employee productivity and motivation enormously. Rewards in these situations work well, but only if people don't know they're coming. Nobody's yet figured why, but for western middle class or higher the wisdom of "people need incentives" doesn't hold true. Where and when? Cause I see a different type of data in my last two global companies... one I even oversaw partly an HR function... Everything revolves around incentives, not every incentive has to be monetary though. There are two ground frame works, discipline, and motivation - motivation is BUILT around various incentives. You can't have someone continously motivated, if he is not being rewarded, and those rewards are the incentives. Not every reward is monetary, some respond to leadership type incetives, others recognition, etc... you could write a Ph.D paper around it. There was also a topic of free market in the health care... a complete free market in the healthcare won't work. health is not car or orange juice, where you can easily compare various elements of the product, you also as a customer do not decide when you get ill, so you do not plan ahead for a certain type of expenditure. There needs to be some regulation, but before you'll get there, you need to estimate what's the value of a human life/wellbeing in a given society and that's not an easy discussion and even harder field to get some good quantifiers that you could use for some economic models... Some years ago, I've been into this when i finished my Masters and put for some materials for Ph.D. I've found an interesting concept of QALY (quality adjusted life years) as a form which could be used. Did not follow the health care economics since then. Perhaps it was somewhat refined or something better theory wise came up in the meanwhile.
  16. I've just finished the game... return to your original spire to finish the game, you need to do one more thing there Really fun in terms of C&C. Will most likely play it at least 2 more times EDIT: it took me 22h and i did not really use any crafting or "stronghold" features, and it seems I've missed one edict somewhere. So there is much more content there... also is it me or there is no life sigil and you get it only form items and can;t craft spell? or most likely I missed it
  17. USA .... really??? https://www.yahoo.com/news/500-000-people-sign-petition-203109567.html
  18. I like, although combat seems a bit odd, and I am not sure why... I am playing a mage though, and I feel like spells are underwhelming power wise.
  19. Wait till those millenials will finish their education and try to enter the work market... I know a lot of large players are going for at least 60/40 split vs high cost locations and low cost locations, and those high cost locations are not only USA. They are also going for more automated processes, so they can cut on high cost locations even more. You already have problems with people entering job market with huge debt and not enough jobs for them... do you think that once they will face poverty, working sub-par their education and with huge burden for several years they will care for things like they have time for now?
  20. volo this video is nothing but some unrelated criminal act ....where does it say they are Hilary supporters? But I did watch it to the end and I have to say the guy does look stupid putting a sign in an empty garden.. its obvious he wants to draw attention to himself ? Alright guys, I wanna see some really clever responses to this one. Bruce set up an amazing opportunity for you all to powerbomb him clear out of the sky, so let's not be ungrateful and let his efforts all be for naught. I don't wanna see anything cliche, anything too obvious or expected. Let's see some really original and creative retorts here. Let's put on a good show. Why bother with an idiot who thinks putting a support sign for a candidate in his own yard is justification for pulling a gun on him? Why do you guys in Poland also keep big signs in your gardens with the names of your favorite politicians ....it must a nightmare to maintain with those long Polish surnames you all have ..." zxadsadfggftsussnn " Yeah. Our presidents name is the same lenght as SA president, you racista nationalistic swine. Why you shouting at me? Im just trying to guess your politicians surname ..okay give me one more chance ? "myaxzrtyuoyuiuz " or " yarsvtewxzlllexrghwip " ...how did I do? There are many things that I could make fun of our politicians, especially the ones currently in power, but the names are the last thing I would come up with... Come one Bruce, I know you can do better than that. Just look and google for the current minister of defense.
  21. Why would it be illegal?
  22. Damned timezones...
  23. Wonder why people are so bothered by this kind of thing. Other than some generational hard man grousing Because it's silly to say the least... so suddenly you will stop your obligations at work as well?
