I really hate barbarians, which is why i usually choose no barbarians. but raging barbs is kinda interesting. zippy, i was thinking, to adapt my wall strategy, if i were in your situation, i'd try instead of building a full wall, build enough units to spread across chokes with 1 square in...

An interesting Archipelgo idea: what happened to me was i accidentally chose raging barbs instead of no barbs. oops. quite a surprise! since I was on archipeligo, I was able to build a "moving border" -- built some defensive units and used them at choke points on the island. I'd then send...

Tra Flag Ar perhaps you could say its some sort of pirate slang -- make up a flag icon. Tra flag, ar! besti could do, sorry. :sad:

I won from a space victory on regent level, using a personal rules mod, and my score wasn't saved. My PTW is on patch 1.04 Known bug? option i missed? any help? :(

yer right chiefpaco, but lets say they get together after 50 days, and only 35 guys have been in the room -- you still have the same problem, only with 65 prisoners instead of 100. So its best to assume that you meet the night before the first day, to come up with a good plan. I still havent...

Thats the riddle, verbatim. I didn't leave anything out unless i copy/pasted wrong. Its from http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~wwu/riddles/intro.shtml Site seems slow today, but thats where i got it.

Driving me mad. Can't find answer. Stumped. help! 100 prisoners in solitary cells. There's a central living room with one light bulb; the bulb is initially off. Everyday, the warden picks a prisoner at random, and that prisoner goes to the central living room. While there, the prisoner...

Yup, 1086, and is one of hte most comprehensive documents in existence for life in the 11th Cen. Oh, and its "Domesday Book" http://www.domesdaybook.co.uk/

They should be condemned for what they did. The should not be condemned for what they didnt do. I agree with what Nobunaga said as well. It was bad. But there wasn't widespread murder of hte comfort women. It's not right to accept a falsity stated about anyone, whether theyre evil or not...

jebus man, of course i dont approve of ANY raping and killing. But this isn't a discussion on whether or not it was wrong, its a matter of what happened and what didnt -- whether i approve of it or not is irrelevant. With your argument, then all the killing and raping anyone has ever done is...

"they killed a lot of them Some women sure were violently killed just because they refused to have intercourse with soldiers. Sometimes, killing is more amusing than just raping i suppose. The fact that there are 'this many' survivor now means that there were probably innormous number of...

There are cases of the murdering of comfort women, but they are not widespread. The comfort women were organized BY the army specifically to follow the units of soldiers around. In some ways it was seen as a more healthy, controlled way for the soldiers to release sexual tension. Part of the...

Im not arguing with most of this. What i'm saying is that the crime rate in Japan is very low compared to the rest of the industrialized countries. For example, compared to Japan, the United States larceny rate is 4 times greater, the rape rate is nearly 25 times greater and the robbery rate is...

I agree with you here Nobunaga. Some people are intent on saying things like "rape was in the Japanese blood" -- if so, why is the crime rate in Japan one of hte lowest in the world? And no, its not that people aren't reporting it. People talk of nuclear wasteland, but the fact is that the...

>>>>nuclear cloud spead the decay to nearby settlement... the land is unihabitable for 100 of years... <<<< for modern nukes, in the 10s of megatons, yes. But for the Nagasaki and Hiroshima bombs, not so -- Nagasaki and Hiroshima are large metropolises today, and theyre not full of...
