TPM 2008 suggestions

by alluringsumo on 5/9/2008 12:14:51 AM

Ok here are some changes from TPM 2004 I would suggest. 1) Add the ability to play games with random polling data, wealth, and electoral vote values in multiplayer. 2) Allow 2 canidates from same party to run against each other. […]

One more thought on Obama vs. Clinton

Is this prolonged race part of a grander plan?

by terpfan1980 on 5/8/2008 11:46:21 AM

So I've done a little thinking over the last few days (hey! every now and then it happens ;) ) and I started thinking that perhaps the Democratic primary season that never ends may be part of a grander plan, perhaps even rising to the conspiracy […]

Hillary Clinton steps into the race issue again

... and comes up smelling pretty badly

by terpfan1980 on 5/8/2008 11:02:10 AM

So Hillary Clinton gives an interview to the folks at USA Today and stupidly makes comments that make her sound like 'the racist's choice for President'. To get the quote's right, I'm headed (and point you) straight to the source, or at least the source […]

Myanmar officials need to accept more help!

by Locamama on 5/7/2008 10:28:37 PM

As horrible and tragic as the cyclones and the lives lost in Myanamar are. It is even more tragic that Myanamar officials seem more concerned with staying in power than helping their own people. People are starving and devastated. […]

Hillary and Obama simple profile.

Patriotism is an individual's heart expression.

by jesseledesma on 5/7/2008 8:18:44 PM

I plan to write two simple profiles and then ask a question. Ms. Hillary Clinton is a woman married to a "cheater" who has on occassion defended her husband for sake of politics. In addition, she has no real values and just tows the democrat […]

What happened to the voters?

We may have all gone insane, or possibly just stupid

by NickKorzo on 5/7/2008 3:18:44 PM

Every time I see a poll taken, be it on paper, video, or what have you, of what drives people's vote, they always say that it is the issues. At first, I was content to let that slide, and told my self "well those people are just Democrats, […]

Need some honest advice regarding which game to buy

by redwingdw28 on 5/7/2008 12:22:49 PM

As mentioned I LOVE my PC games, I actually have £25 Im willing to spend. Thats about $49. Thus far looking at some of the crap thats out there atm, the only game that I think may have some milage is the latest gciv 2 expansion. Im just wandering what […]

Senator Barack Obana and the African-American vote

Why Clinton is losing support of a core democratic group

by Bahu Virupaksha on 5/7/2008 6:05:25 AM

The great writer and Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison wrote once that "White skin notwithstanding, Clinton is our first black president. Blacker than any actual person could ever be elected in our childrens' lifetime". With this kind of endorsement, it is […]

Ding dong the witch is almost dead...

(figuratively, not literally...)

by terpfan1980 on 5/7/2008 1:11:58 AM

Gee, I seem to recall someone (one particular) suggesting that Obama was falling back to Earth and that Hillary was widening the gap and gaining strength. In fact, there were some loco comments in this article: Hillary campaign insists on […]

Global Food Riots

by Artysim on 5/6/2008 6:49:25 PM

A time of great change is upon us. In the last few weeks there were riots in the streets of Egypt, Somalia, Haiti, Morocco, Madagascar, Thailand and Mauritania. And this is just the beginning. Here in Canada, Filipinos are buying up rice and […]

So I got banned from Eve.

A lesson in irony...

by StanlyManly on 5/6/2008 5:01:27 PM

I saw a link for a 21 day trial to Eve, and decided that was too good to pass up. I've subbed to the game before a couple times, and although it got boring after a while, its still not bad to play for a month or two at a time. Just in case anyone […]

A taste of their own medicine

operation chaos is working

by Paladin77 on 5/6/2008 2:18:44 PM

For years democrats have been manipulating primary elections so they can have a weak challenger for their candidate. They did it in 2000 by voting for Senator McCain against Governor Bush. It did not work but they tried hard in several elections previous […]

Hillary campaign insists on changing rules after the fact

'Michigan and Florida must be counted'

by terpfan1980 on 5/6/2008 12:57:57 PM

You could see this coming from a mile away... Apparently Hillary's campaign learned some lessons (the wrong ones apparently) from the Gore 2000 campaign, most importantly if you are losing and the numbers are against you keep contesting and keep […]

Please slam my game

by Frogboy on 5/6/2008 12:34:14 PM

Far be it for me to invite scorn and ridicule on our hard work in the form of Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor but let's face it, GalCiv has long since stopped being any sort of traditional "product". We love working on it. […]

TPM: Europe support

White racist voters

If you're white and you don't vote for Obama, you must be racist

by Locamama on 5/6/2008 10:03:06 AM

This whole argument just drives me crazy. So much for transcending race or the post-racial candidate. Race is as big as an issue as any in this current campaign. According to the linked article, if Hillary Clinton says she's "more […]

The issues of The Political Machine

A look at the back end

by Frogboy on 5/6/2008 4:30:19 AM

Tonight (4:28am so technically this morning) I'm hanging out on the GalCiv II forums between compiles. The above is the issue editor for The Political Machine 2008. In it, I must go through every conceivable issue, write a description and then […]

FrogBlog: May 2008

by Frogboy on 5/5/2008 11:00:51 PM

We're in crunch mode and yet I have a lot of free time too. That's the nature of development in crunch mode - hurry up and wait. Right now, I'm waiting for some changes to the issues editor so that I can begin putting in new political issues […]
