While We Wait: Part 6

I think he meant the terrorist would be laughing too hard to effectively carry out their attacks:p
 
I'll be gone until Monday. Just letting people know in case anyone needs me for any of the NESes I'm in.
 
Masada's Bet: I bet Obama will fall back on Keynes to right the economy. The problem will be he will do exactly what the great Keynesian FDR did, and not be anything or do anything of the sort.

Don't ever let FDR be put up on a Keynesian pedestal, he tried to run balanced budgets, and to reduce government debt, his expenditure was not expansionary, he just increased taxes to offset spending. It was not inline with Keynes, and Keynes even remonstrated FDR a number of times for not running a deficit. Expect to see Obama pull an FDR on the whole thing.

Not that I see a massive stimulus package as all that likely to plaster over an institutional problem.... kind of like giving grog to banks already plastered.

ATLAS SHRUGGED UPDATED FOR THE CURRENT FINANCIAL CRISIS.
[Not for the kiddies]
 
Life is not words on a computer screen, which is what you happen to be. That you are actually a real person out there somewhere, with probably at least a few redeeming characteristics, I could care less, because I will never meet you there. Here, you are what you are, and that is distasteful.

Ah but it seems that you think once again I actually care what you think of me, funny. Most people I speak to on MSN find me quite courteous, if with a sometimes quirky humour that is not to everyone's taste. You are remembering what I was from 2 years ago.

You're on your fiftieth (50) game. Most of them never reached ten (10) pages. Your last big one was a laughable failure. You did everything I described. You killed my President because you threw some dice and they supposedly came up snake-eyes. After I quit you reversed my decision as to who won the election--already in effect--for no good reason. You let Germany remilitarize for no good reason (and go nuclear, and annex Austria, and invade Spain with Great Britain...). You conjured two mega-disasters, a 9.0+ earthquake and a 50% lethality virus, which both affected the United States exclusively, somehow, and then it broke up (probably because you are in fact anti-American). You unified countries willy-nilly because as your signature still says:

Oh but if it was a simulationist game I could then justify it as saying there is no way the Republicans would of won.... I would be proven right too... Symphony just because you have sour grapes doesnt mean that you should bring things up that happened over two years ago.......... Yes I encourage wars in my nes sometimes, it makes things more enjoyable for most, however you will note that out of the some 200 countries in the nes you cite there was a very small percentage of those countries which actually united.

You also fail to remember I was the mod and when you left I did what I thought the USA would do.... Remember that you left right after the update and quite frankly recent events have shown that I was right to do that for your much vaunted realism. In short I wasnt anti-American (I am anti-Bush btw not anti-American per se) I was anti-you and I realised soon after that nes started, my biggest mistake was allowing you to play as you just cant follow instructions on orders with you incessant descriptions which were actually asked to not happen, AND the fact that you cant take a simple no for an answer without debating the reasoning behind it which when you are running a nes of 30 people you dont want to have to deal with. You are probably the most annoying player I have ever had the misfortune to mod for.

As for the other things you 'accuse' me of, yeah I allowed that... Its a nes after all, and I do like things to be exciting rather than super-realistic like yourself, so diffrence of opinion.

And you're still a liar, thief, and fraud. I don't attack you for no good reason, Sheep. I don't attack anyone for no good reason. I attack you in particular because you are what is typically known as a "bad influence." You're a freaking terrible mod. In fact, as far as your digital persona goes, you're terrible period.

Notice I dont attack you, unless you attack me... Notice I disagree with a lot of what you say, but this does not make necessarily a bad influence, just a different one. To not be able to accept diffrences is a sign of bigtory....


Perhaps you should worry about that some. As for my modding, I have quite a few people who say otherwise, but noone is forcing you join my nes or read it.. so kindly keep your opinions to yourself.

The rest of it you just keep bringing up because seriously you have nothing new to talk about... Grow up mate, most people dont care, I have apologised to those who felt hurt by any actions I have taken in the past, although I cant think of one person that has come to me and said I was hurt or anything along those lines, and most of what you do refer to is well into the past as well, you need to learn to give up those grudges. So much wasted energy!

Now, you could say the same about me, plenty do--but at least I'm honest, and that's a lot going for me which doesn't go for you right there. Most other people just have these stunning moments of incompetence occasionally that I feel need correcting because, if you can't even be bothered to read what another person says or parse it or think of a decent reply, how can you possibly be a good player? I don't want you to think like I do. In your case, I just want you to go away. In other peoples', I just want them to think at all.

But I digress. The fact that anyone trusts you with anything at all is, as I said, a clear example of non-thinking.

The point of the matter is that noone has at anytime asked you to make that correcting weather you feel the need to or not. The fact is that its not the correcting that causes problems, its the arrogant and snide ways that you go about achieving it. Just because someone is wrong in a matter does not give you the right to talk down to them. As for being a good player, well I am not particuarly worried about winning or anything along those lines, so long as I have fun, I am getting what I want from nesing.

And once again keep your opinions to yourself, what you are writing is a clear example of slander. Oh and as I have been nesing for longer than you, (even with time off) I aint going anywhere and to think that your continued attacks will make me think otherwise is just a fallacy and wasted effort.

In simple people know your opinion about me, you do not need to repeat it and if you do I will not ask nicely again.
 
You are remembering what I was from 2 years ago.
Funny, you still seem just as pusillanimous.

Oh but if it was a simulationist game I could then justify it as saying there is no way the Republicans would of won.... I would be proven right too...
Yes, because Simulationism is perfectly defined as "psychic knowledge of the future," and an outcome occuring ex post facto totally means it was the only possible outcome. Determinism is real, so sayeth Sheep! All bow to the second coming of Nostradamus.

Symphony just because you have sour grapes doesnt mean that you should bring things up that happened over two years ago..........
Your record is universally trash from 2003 to this very second, in this very argument. Two years nothing.

Yes I encourage wars in my nes sometimes, it makes things more enjoyable for most, however you will note that out of the some 200 countries in the nes you cite there was a very small percentage of those countries which actually united.
Yeah. Right.

You also fail to remember I was the mod and when you left I did what I thought the USA would do....
Proving you just ignore whatever your players want for whatever you want. Right. I covered that. You arbitrarily reverse decisions because you don't like them.

Remember that you left right after the update and quite frankly recent events have shown that I was right to do that for your much vaunted realism.
Remember kids: Sheep is a psychic PhD-at-age-20 who makes $9,000,000 per year and is in the top ten-thousandth of the population. He'll totally come down on you like a hammer with pop-psychobabble if you question him. Beware!

In short I wasnt anti-American (I am anti-Bush btw not anti-American per se)
Yes, which is why you not only had him assassinated and made it absolutely impossible to make progress in either Afghanistan or Iraq, but bestowed a ridiculously large natural disaster that would affect the entire Pacific rim on America alone, and then defied all science and logic to let Pakistan make a version of smallpox that somehow only killed Americans. Because you hate Bush. Right. Good cover.

AND the fact that you cant take a simple no for an answer without debating the reasoning behind it which when you are running a nes of 30 people you dont want to have to deal with.
Possibly because "You will be attacked and suffer tremendous damage no matter what steps you might possibly take to prevent it," is the most ******** statement a mod could possibly make, and indicative of how terrible you are. No, you're right, I should simply assume you to be infallible and unbiased and take your word as gospel because you're God--I mean Mod. Right.

As for the other things you 'accuse' me of, yeah I allowed that... Its a nes after all, and I do like things to be exciting rather than super-realistic like yourself, so diffrence of opinion.
Yes, because the idea of two NATO members invading a third is just plain realistic, not super-realistic.

Notice I disagree with a lot of what you say, but this does not make necessarily a bad influence, just a different one.
The fact that you disagree doesn't, no. Your actions prove it all by themselves, though.

As for my modding, I have quite a few people who say otherwise, but noone is forcing you join my nes or read it.. so kindly keep your opinions to yourself.
I am entitled to share my opinions as and when I see fit. Once again, don't presume you have any authority at all to tell me what I can and can't do, particularly when it is a simple critical analysis of the sorry excuse of ability you call your moderation capability. Just because almost everyone is willing to turn a blind eye to your shenanigans doesn't mean you will always get a free pass for them. You should have factored that in to your plans when you decided to be a mediocre hack who has to lie about his education, fix his games, and steal material for prestige.

In simple people know your opinion about me, you do not need to repeat it and if you do I will not ask nicely again.
It's not slander when it can be proven. I told you not to play the victim unless you got better at it. You haven't. Try again.
 
Yeah. Right.

In his "defense", he did at least break up USA therefore creating several nations where there was one. Only, given what he posted about America on numerous occasions before that, it does not really speak in favour of him as a moderator in this particular case either...

Cursory inspection reveals 74±3 countries present out of a current total of approximately 200. I suppose if a 63% reduction can be considered "a very small percentage" then I'm the Queen of England.
 
I'm not arguing against that, ofcourse. That map is ridiculous and so was that fast-forward update in general.
 
Your majesty :P... Yeah well I made a mistake and forgot that after America died the world went crazy with warfare..... but it was 2 years ago, and I am both impressed and appalled that you actually remember this cr@p, I mean do you have a directory of all neses or do you just have very lax social life and this is what you do for kicks? I am sorry with a wife, 3 kids and other committments I just dont have the time to devote to remembering stuff that once again happened 2 years ago on a forum where the average life of a nes is about 6 weeks (from what I have seen as of late).

Oh btw nice skirting the points which I made which shed some light on your actions that led me to take the actions in that nes I did....... Love how you just ignore anything that fits into your neat little reality... Good luck with that one!

Man didnt Iran grow, I forgot how well did the other players did in that nes, probably because they wrote sensible orders not essays and when I told them they couldnt do something they didnt argue, just accepted it or gave me proof as to I was wrong and let me make the decision from that.... yeah sorry Symphony but when I run a nes of that many players I am not going to have the time to put up with the inane stupid cr@p you bombarded me with.

Say what ya want Symphony, whatever...... I am actually going to be the bigger man here and just ignore you from now on, I am writing an update for a nes which is actually proving to be a success (if I can get more stories it would be even better)... Until its proven otherwise (if it is) I would rather spend my time on that then telling you what a douche you are, besides its more enjoyable and I dont have to listen to the 'protagonist'

Like I keep saying everyone knows what you think of me, its out there, so why keep repeating it??? Perhaps because you have nothing better to do.
 
To be honest, I don't think anyone who had been here then would forget the disaster that particular NES was any time soon.

If you're not going to acknowledge reality, I don't see why I should have to acknowledge your perception of it.

Like I keep saying everyone knows what you think of me, its out there, so why keep repeating it??? Perhaps because you have nothing better to do.
As I stated, in this case I am simply making an example of how people on this forum do fit the bill as anti-intellectuals. You've made a magnificent study. I'd knight you for your service, but I seem to have misplaced the resident arms.
 
To be honest, I don't think anyone who had been here then would forget the disaster that particular NES was any time soon.

Sh!t happens, I keep trying and hell I have had moderate success.... The point is that I learn from failure and move on, I dont tend to dwell on it. It of course doesnt help when you have some douche players making things more difficult however...

Yeah in hindsight I probably with that nes tried to bite off more than i could chew in sheer numbers of countries.... After that the mere 50 I have in my current one is a walk in the park in comparison.
 
Behold, ladies and gentlemen, I am "attacking" Sheep, yet when das calls his last high-profile game a ridiculous and unforgettable disaster, it's simply shop-talk. This is truly the gift that keeps on giving. I suppose I know what to be thankful for today.
 
The diffrence is I respect das's opinions on modding and I also take note in the fact that while he has those views that he does not feel the need to attach them to personal attacks which do not hold place in the discussion being had.

As smart as you are Symphony, I would of thought you would of been able to see that.
