Good point. I'm starting to understand the implications now. Okay, how about this for a variant: Hook up North and South America via the Isthmus of Panama. Shipping routes be damned. People went around the Horn in the real world and they can do it in the game. Take away the Colonialism...

Thanks for your quick reply! It's a good thing I'm on vacation this week. My work access filters out all game-related Internet sites. Let me know if you could use some help with this. I've already noticed some inconsistencies and broken HTML in the American-related entries. No offense -- I...

For some reason this posted twice. deleting the duplicate.

El Justo: first of all, many thanks for creating this game. Years ago (as far back as the mid-80s) I'd wanted to create a resource-development and war game based on the age of colonialism and imperialism, and I'd done some research over the tears, but never took the time to seriously create the...

I have to disagree with this, because my personal view is that order for its own sake doesn't trump the ultimate question of wrong or right. If the law is wrong, then disobeying it promotes what is right. Naturally, you have to be willing to accept the consequences of disobeying, which may be...

Where's the option to vote for "no avatar"?

And is it forgivable if you only slaughter innocents "rarely"?

I think you may have misinterpreted something here. The attacks on the US were regarded as an attack on NATO because of an article in the NATO charter that states that an attack on one NATO member country will be treated as an attack on all of them. That's the whole purpose behind an alliance...

You might want to look into reports of abortion-clinic bombings and the murders of doctors in the US in recent years. Not as high a death toll as September 11th, but it's still terrorism and their innocent victims are still dead.

I agree with this 100%. Arafat and Sharon are mirror images of each other, the same no-compromise, power-hungry, racist, nationalist, slaughterers of innocence on opposite sides of the fence. Both the Israeli people and the Palestinean people deserve better.

I once wrote a thoughtful essay on this very subject. Unfortunately it has long since gone to data heaven. If I have time (not likely for the next week or so), I may reproduce it. Now that I am happily married, I'd have more fun telling breakup stories. It's easier to laugh at them.

I would be more supportive of our campaign aganst vile Islamic fundamentalism if we devoted the same efforts to prevent the spread of vile Christian fundamentalism.

Having too many people limits people. I can't get a house within 20 miles of New York City because all the good land is taken up by rich @#$%s or ghettos. If there were fewer people, everyone could live at American consumption levels and not have such a drastic effect on the environment.

If a tenth of the money people spent on automobiles had been spent on birth control, the world wouldn't be in this mess in the first place.
