if annyone should be annexed, it is sweden. poor poor sweden; norway, with our oil, can buy and sell sweden ten times! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's true. Norway is a country of comparable size (population) and geography (climate) to Scotland. They have a large income based on deminishing Oil reserves, which they intelligently decided, about a decade ago, to allocate a portion to their national savings; thus they are now the proud holders of something like a

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Weaknesses? They might want to *both* be the leader. Also, Revan was the super-strategist; it would make sense that she has thought up a major plan whose intricacies no-one else could fathom and therefore had not been considered ... and that she would not be able to tell the Exile about it, for fear of failure (whether due to betrayal or incompetence) ...

There was an official signature, and I wasn't told!

... Except if it was the method of choice to introduce the non-Chosen-One protagonist of the third game! Thank you. It's a pity that I've told you all about it, because now I can't sell it to them. Then what would that leave Kreia's foresight into the future? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ah, they'd just have someone in a cantina make some background comment about how Kreia was so twisted by her own warped world-view (or should that be galaxy-view?) that she couldn't see straight. Kreia is the one true prophet. She will inspire the Anti-Force-Sensitives to destroy the Force and restore Free Will to the peoples of the galaxy.

... And every Sith thinks you murdered (pick Revan or Exile) and every Republican thinks you murdered (pick the other one) and so the entire galaxy is after you ... and you don't even know what to do, and everyone thinks you have all the answers ... sort like Monty Python's Life of Brian meets Half-Life ...

Well, I'm all for experimentation, but you have briefly touched on a lot of issues just there. For one, simply "adding one more [sC] and upping the win criteria to 19" is not a trivial impact on the game; that impacts every power. I wouldn't be confident to mess with the balance and dynamics of the game without at least measuring the impact on every power in turn. That's going to affect the break-even line, and therefore the chokepoints will be affected in varying ways, and other such concerns. It's a pretty thorny knot ... a gordian knot, I would say. Still, in a while I will feel a bit more comfortable with the original gameboard. It is not really feasible to make comparisons when the basis for the comparison is not a known quantity ...

You mean .... this isn't it?

It would hardly be sound diplomacy to advertise your strategy ...

This is what showed up on google when I entered "metadigital daughter" A thread from this forum <{POST_SNAPBACK}> When she returns from her current gig entertaining the British amred forces stationed in Cypres, her next job is here, as a barmaid.

*Braces* Pray tell, what is the Croatia variant, and why does it appeal to you so?

This is what showed up on google when I entered "metadigital daughter" A thread from this forum <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's funny, because I don't remember her using that reference ... " I doubt she even knows that's my pseudonym.

Both. But I am encouraging her to go back to university and obtain her Law Degree.

Maybe after we've played a few normal games, so that we might be more availed of the best seismic events. I also didn't really understand what happens with normal and conflicting requests: i.e. what makes a seismic event legal and successful ?

She is a glamour model, though, so I must have done something right.

Oh ... hang on ..! ... No ... I guess it's within normal parameters ... yes, ... yes, we can continue ...

I tried. I made her watch ESB so that the scene in Toy Story 2 was put into context, but she didn't seem to think it was worth the effort ...

No. That is just silly.

Firstly, Australia is still a British Commonwealth country, and the largest proportion of landholders (by a significant margin) are British. Secondly, your point is specious. Why would the status of another country have any bearing on the independence of the USA ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Because Austrailia broke away after we did, therefore if they be taking rebelling states back into the fold Austrailia would likely be the first. Especially since their military is a 100 Fighting Kangaroos. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My point was that Australia never left. The Governor General, who is appointed by the Queen, shall be Her Majesty's representative in the Commonwealth. ... After receiving their Commission, the Governor-General makes an Oath of Allegiance and an Oath of Office to Her Majesty and issues a Proclamation assuming office. Formally, the Governor-General's appointment is at Her Majesty's pleasure. ... The Governor-General has many important constitutional, official and ceremonial duties to perform. For example, the Governor-General: dissolves the Parliament and issues writs for new elections; commissions the Prime Minister and appoints other Ministers after elections; gives assent to laws when they have been passed by the two Houses of Parliament - the Senate and the House of Representatives; acts on the advice of Ministers through the Executive Council to issue Regulations and proclamations under existing laws; appoint Federal judges; ambassadors and high commissioners to overseas countries and other senior government officials; issue Royal Commissions of enquiry; exercise the prerogative of mercy; and authorises many other executive decisions by Ministers such as raising government loans or approving treaties with foreign governments. The Governor-General is the Commander-in-Chief of the Australian Defence Force ... Oath of Office

OH NOOESS!!1!! ITSA CASCADE RESONANCE OVERFLOW!!11!!!!!11!eleven!!one!!1

She's a model, anyway, so cameras don't bother her.

... When knights say "Ni!" to old ladies ...

They're waiting for :alanschu: ...

Well, under the auspices of "known thine enemy", I might appraise myself of Voloisms. I don't know if I could stomache large quantities of it, though ...

Nope, fortunately she has better things to do (and she isn't a Star Wars fan). But she does have her own website. And no, I'm not going to tell.
