Reality and fiction meet in a bad way

Well, closed borders, of course, mean that 'order dominion' pays off better...
Considering the game itself - you should note that one of its authors has a degree in folklore & the latter contains an experience of many generations who lived through many different situations. Of course, using actual myths, etc. for framework could be better, but Dominions, while being free with mixing and changing, is very good in being true to spirit of them - one of the things I love it for...

Religions have very frequently been used as justification for governments, mostly bad governments... but that does take the cake.

Lets go post on a message board about a game, and speculate how real life atrocities are best represented in the game.

The real life atrocity of american idol is best represented by the arena deathmatch. No-one's interested in it but it continues on regardless.

Too bad Americon Idol doesn't result in all but one contestant getting killed off...

The United States as a country donates more money and time to Africa than any other non African country in the world. It's still not enough, but it should be enough that we are not the whipping boy for Africa's problems. That being said, as my generation gets older and begins to take public offices in the United States, I think that Africa will become the number one foreign issue as things come to a close in the middle east.

For Africa's sake I hope they never become USA's number one foreign issue. But that is unlikely anyway - there are no significant oil deposits in Africa.

Unless you think that's what Foodstamp meant with his comment, I suggest editing your post and adding a smiley, at least.


This thread is morbid enough even before people start arguing about politics. One would think that this forum would have moderators to issue some sterns words in situations like this. I wonder if Shranel Games should recruit some new ones.

Since this was borderline off-topic to start with (not particularly a problem), then wandered well into off-topic, its been moved to the Bar and Grill which is more appropriate and allows abit more leeway before becoming completely in danger of deletion.
