Bay 12 Games Forum

My cousin and I played around 10 games of Dead By Daylight, and we each escaped in 9 of them.

The first three games, every survivor (2 more than myself and my cousin) escaped, including from a camping Michael Myers.

This was most amusing because it was my cousin that was hooked, the other two survivors went to a different door to escape, opened that while I was opening my door - opening doors starts a timer that instantly kills survivors when it expires - and then, as I was running to unhook my cousin, they drew Myers away and every one of the three non-cousin survivors helped block Myers from downing my cousin prior to him escaping. A bit toxic, but the Myers didn’t have to camp or tunnel my cousin on the way out.

This is why it’s a terribly joke, and you are a dirti boi.

til I learned the acronym terf.

Today I am a little more saddened about humanity and people's insistence that because they are right, everyone else must be wrong.

((when voting, do we vote for the motion in its entirety, or can we pick and choose elements? For example, voting for Point 1 of Kakaluncha's motion, but against Point 2?

Also, if we agree mostly with what another player has put in a motion, but not all of it, are we able to make amendments to vote on them instead, or do we need to have our own motions with broadly the same stuff but with the bits we don't like changed?))

The Peace and Prosperity Party brings forth a motion containing:

a) Members of the Colonial Assembly, hereby renamed the Concordian Senate, form the central government governing various aspects of life on Concordia, with the local provinces carrying on as they were hitherto.

b) The Concordian Senate is the primary legislative force upon Concordia, supported by provincial governments which are allowed to amend and add local laws to suit their local needs.

c) Membership of the Concordian Senate is decided by the people of Concordia, through a democratic voting process.

d) Representatives may otherwise be appointed by corporate or provincial interests, holding the same rights as Senators except the right to vote.

((as a starter, I should probably tell y'all I'm in the process of buying a house, so will be a bit less active than I'd like, most assuredly around early-mid February assuming things go as planned. I'll still be posting though.))

Arthur takes the incredulous pause at Zhang's behaviour to stand up himself, leaning slightly toward some of his nearby colleague's as he gestures toward the corporate head. The microphone may have picked up the words "typical businessman", but nobody can be quite sure.

"While I acknowledge my esteemed colleague's view, I think the differences we have as peoples should be embraced and celebrated rather than be a cause for concern. I am also bothered," he gestures toward Alexander with his real hand, "that some of us are more concerned with what we do in an emergency before we've even hashed out the terms of how we should govern ourselves!

However, he makes a point: we have been self-sufficient for a very long time now, and we have done very well for ourselves during that time, so I don't believe we should change our system of government too much. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, amirite? We do need some form of centralised government, though, that keeps the broad changes in our society in mind, to represent us as we move forward, to support and maybe even one day replace the UN Charter that we have followed all these years.

Of course, it would be madness to think that a banker in downtown Landing Point would be able to make the decisions about the needs and wants of a farmer in our more rural counties, and vice versa! The various provinces that make up our great world should retain the autonomy they currently have to make their own laws and regulations that affect the people that live and work in them. This means we don't have to be bogged down here by the trivialities of how many more sheep Cletus can buy from Boris, or why Reginald's grand deciduous tree is casting too much shade onto Jarvis' property, and we can focus on how to keep things working for everyone."

Of course. It is quite unreasonable to expect an entire planet to pronounce a word the same way and, like Hector said, most colonists won't particularly care about it.

It will always by Novus Mundus in my heart, however.

So would it be reasonable that someone would be a complete memer when founding it and gave it a meme name so it would never die?

No and can we please not do that.

I propose we name the planet Honk.

I'd suggest Republic Center...since its the Center of the Republic ^^

I’ll +1 this.

I don’t think fancy names would be at the forefront of colonists’ minds, and I don’t think that would necessarily have changed over the history of the colony.
