General Discussion / Re: Arab Spring springs to Turkey
« on: July 14, 2013, 01:38:01 pm »
Glad to hear from you.
Okay so the situation is mainly with students now and the media has lost interest too since nothing 'big' is happening, was really curious because of the media silence on it, I thought it died off or something.
I found that out reading this, really strange the tear gas is not allowed to be used by soldiers but allowed for police.

Well, the word is the pressure on cops...
"The word is", I always wanted to say that...it feels like in the movies.

Maybe Turkey seems secular when compared to Middle East but non-Muslims are still being oppressed. I know lots of people keeping their true beliefs secret. It's not enough.

People, please don't compare Turkey to Middle East just because this is a Muslim country. Compare Turkey to the political history of itself. You can see Erdoğan turning normal schools into Islamic schools. The dude is building mosques and erecting long minarets everywhere. I don't think he is just compensating for something.
Leatra himself said so before...

Took an whole day to finish finally reading all that has been going on...great job Leatra! Learnt and came to know about a lot besides this.
Because of the major news networks of the world covering this so poorly,
No wonder over here in India, there is hardly any media coverage other than the red dress lady incident.
and a mention by a columnist in a paper comparing it and saying how the Indian government should be warned and not try to make laws which are invading individual's rights like the ones they are trying to pass right now over here which are mainly to control media and also telecommunications monitoring. This is one of the examples- http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tech/tech-news/internet/Indias-web-phone-surveillance-system-draws-flak/articleshow/20479332.cms

Also I have question Leatra, you haven't mentioned this before and just answer it in a few words,
Has all these harsh rules like  heavy media censorship, booze etc only started since His ascent to power suddenly by Him or has it been there before Him and He only worsened it?

AFAIK there is no multiplayer in crawl - online is just a way for everyone's scores to be aggregated into a database, so you can compare yourself with everyone else. The only real affect on gameplay is getting other people's ghosts, which is kind of neat.

Of course, I haven't played in half a year, so there might be more than that now. I doubt it, though.
Yup I've seen that. That would be pretty neat especially in crawl where the ghosts are a big deal and a little fit more interesting for other ones like nethack. Hmm I better check out the crawl multiplayer thing it seems interesting now that I think about it.

I have played quite of crawl and for pretty long too, but sorry for sounding noobish can anyone just give me a gist on how crawl or any roguelike multiplayer is? So long I've been playing a lot of roguelikes but never tried to see what and how multiplayer is..

I usually forgo animal rearing, managing the pastures plus it seems to affect my FPS too. I just rear birds for their eggs. :P

The two main topics which keep arising is self-diagnosis and excessive labeling, I feel there is nothing wrong with self diagnosis when there are such glaring symptoms which cripple your life

It can get EVEN worse than now, which is highly improbable.

Yeah, it could get a lot worse than it is now
You both should have quoted my whole post. If you read it thoroughly, I clearly meant what would happen if there was a coop, and how that's better than what the country is going through thanks to Kim jr.

North Korea becomes the first to devolve back to the Middle Ages.
Yes, but Definitely NOT the first, my good sir. There are many many examples...

Since Kim Jr to me seems like one spoilt brat, who seems to be really inexperienced and too erratic in his decisions unlike his dad, A coup seems like a highly possible scenario in the coming years. Only hope the generals are atleast competent enough to steer the country in the right direction.
Hope being the most important words.

Military coups don't tend to end well, last I checked.
Judging by the current state of the country, there is a good chance that a coup might actually (if not greatly)be beneficial to the country's current plight. OR worst case: It can get EVEN worse than now, which is highly improbable.
