Well technically you might get in trouble if in a round of affection you will call someone a dirty N- even if that person stole from you. Heck, you even have police officers being lynched by media even when they had right to act the way they did. - or that's the impression i get from some of the stories. EDIT: anyone recall T-shirt drama and similar stuff?

This is why I find the US system a bit odd, but hey, it's their playfield and they live with their choices and how they occur. Never really was interested in the mechanics, but it seems odd to me, that you can have such huge disparities between direct and indirect election method and for me it'd be logical that the indirect should move towards the direct one in terms of representation of results I think that's the entire point of the electoral college system. To prevent population-rich states from dictating federal policy by virtue of having more voters. For better or worse it's working as intended. But wouldn't the proportional mechanics be better in general than simple winner takes it all? I mean there was a lot of near 50/50 splits and the winner just took all votes from that place... I guess I can understand it if you treat each state as a separate entity, so the state declares that their president is that person, but I am not familiar on how the political system works exactly in US of A.

you might add to that German elections and Italian ones

BTW, what was the status of financial markets in US again? I think some hedge funds made millions of dollars today

Is this correct? It seems that Hillary would win by 0.12% point if the election was a direct election? Perhaps it would be better for "democracy" if all states followed "proportional" system of applying elector votes instead of winner takes it all?

Bruce, the only thing happening now is hedge funds driving the market for their own gains so others, less informed, go on a selling spree... already a lot of what was lost, recovered and drops are not that significant. Sure there is volatility on the market but it will calm down. It might go down to **** if he will drive some economic nonsense and FED will revert its recent policies, but I highly doubt that. There might be a pause, but surely not a panic. As for Hilary, I've lot any respect that I had for her once she has sent her lackey to send people home... this was so class less and only shows she was really unift to become a president. If you can;t have class in a defeat, then you are unfit for any large responsibility.

That's why Bruce vanished? He went to prepare a red carpet for her?
-
Not today... you need to wait for tomorrow, when she will stop crying into her pillow

Ben... wait for elections in Germany... you might get surprised...
-
hahahahaha she even didn;t bother to come out and sent Podesta instead

Not really, you could always assume that Trump voters will be underrepresented in polls, because of various reason, one of which is the atmosphere around Trump and the PC stuff. The moment the polls were head-to-head, I was expecting Trump will win. Same happened with Brexit, and same happened in countries where recently far right parties won elections. The same will happen in Germany and France in upcoming elections. Germany already has examples of this in some minor local elections, which happened during last 6 months.

To be honest, it's about time for some shake up. It was bound to happen as a lot of people were being ignored or outright called stupid or retarded... Politicians need to stop social experiments, and they need to take care of economy and legislation around economy. Stop spending my taxes on your social experiments.... spend them on security, infrastructure and improvement of legislation, which will help the economy.

So Trump won?

I recall that game. I believe I played it on my Atari :D

According to the latest Washington Post poll Trump is ahead by 1% I'm preparing a pop corn and a 6pack of beer. oh, and I need to get time off at work cause there will be a **** storm on the market once Trump wins.

@Obsidian guys, Have you ever thought about getting hands on any WH or WH40k license and doing some RPG in any of these settings? the tactical combat is a perfect match for those as well !!!

Not sure how would that work... Civ6 is not really that fast paced to be played like a toruney game. Im not an expert, but can the match be completed in 45min-1h? longer than that seems a bit too much
-
well chaos will probably not get fleshed out until game 2 or 3, where the gods specific armies will get implemented - right now you are stuck with chaos undivided without deamons beastmen hwoever will most likely get free upgrade when the Wood Elfs DLC will come out, + FDLC in terms of playalbe Brettonia, December will carry a few treats.
