Russia's supposedly only had a few weeks left of ammo, missiles, drones, and other supplies for the last 6-7 months. One of these times the claims might just be right, but I ain't holding my breath. I generally thought that this refers to their stockpiles of their "modern" weaponry. Russi...

https://www.axios.com/mariupol-shelling-russia-ukraine-25359776-cee5-4fe9-bf61-3b5655bec036.html Mariupol Childrens Hospital has been destroyed by shelling. I’m starting to think it’s time to consider more active intervention. This is a crime against all of humanity… The point of these atrocities a...

Show your work on this. What I have seen suggests that Putin and Russia have been rather blindsided by the extent of western unity and sanctions. Their credit rating has been decreased to basically imminent default, the ruble has lost what 30 or 40 percent of it's value in a week and the ability to ...

If you have precogs I am stealing a few criminal precogs who have been banished for cheating on the lotto. The shitty predictions I will force others to write into their stories will be worth it.

I definitely want to drop points to be pretty far out. I'm gonna do some really funky stuff with my nation building so put me way outside.

Gonna link to my Orbat google doc for now as I build it...

Will put up in the OoB thread when I get done.

I will be trying to get some stuff up tomorrow while I have like hours of boring ass pd zoom meetings to attend. I am going to play a nation of pirates, outlaws, and general ne'erdowells. My general level of seriousness will be a -7. I'm gonna shrooms this bitch up as best I can for everyone else 8)

I will go with what the majority of players decide. You're right about maturity (and a different player base; it's looking like I'm going to be the only player left from that era), of course. But if we do freeform, my long form ship class descriptions are going to outline in detail what I would hav...

Ok, so here are my thought about points. I am going to preface this by saying I actually do really like the "broken down" points system where ships have specializations like Offense, Defense, etc. I just don't think that it actually deals with the real problem, which is creating incentive ...

I have actually thought on more than a few occasions of try to start up an STGOD again and have given a great deal of thought to past STGODs, their rulesets and how to improve upon them. I am gonna be churning out a slow set of posts over the course of the day or so with a lot of those thoughts. Tha...

Why the fuck does it matter. Seriously I feel like I wanna just post an ogre gif screaming nerds. No amount of rules fixes bad players. This is literally the lesson that dnd taught us over the last 3 editions. Honestly if we can't trust a bunch of 30 year olds to play the game with decorum I really ...

I am going to go for a walk and will be thinking about STGOD stuff while I walk (it generally helps me sort my thoughts). However, I am going to leave the general idea I will be trying to wokr out better: primarily, that the problems STGODS have had in the past are not with the crunch of the rules s...

I am interested. Gotta work up a post with some of my thoughts about previous stgods. I got "stuff" to say.

Frankly what you describe doesn't sound unfamiliar. Finland as a whole is ethnically homogenous but I live in one of the more heterogenous places. Only the capital is as heteregenous as some of the towns here. One of the nearby small towns here (next municipality south, 9500 people) has around 14% ...

Who has said anything like that though? Being allowed to speak in ones language whenever doesn't mean you should receieve instruction in it, that happens in a common language. What if the student is not fluent enough in the common language to understand the instruction (especially when the instruct...

I worked at an elementary school in a relatively small city in the U.S. The second grade class (7-8 year olds) represented 11 home languages and the school had 34 total home languages. The district attempted to have translators for each ones. Language barriers are a serious challenge for multicultur...

Something they could have worked better on is the duality of the Rev-9. Instead of it being a mash up of the T-800 and T-1000, it should have been worked over to show clear advantages and disadvantages of each sub-form. Like, the Liquid Metal Subform can take all sorts of bullet fire and regenerate...

The generation that grew up with active shooter drills at school are NOT going to be as tolerant as the prior generation of arguments for gun ownership. Active shooter drills, the most spectacularly useless thing, next to TSA patdowns and having to go through metal detectors at the Smithsonian. It'...

Then you need better politicians to vote for. When Trump is doing a better job concerning gun control than Democrats.... woof. You assume I have a dog in this fight. I don't. I'm just stating how I believe this is going to play out. I have serious doubts about not only the effectiveness of bans, bu...

You know what Fenix, 5 years ago I was completely on the gun-rights side. But now, its harder and harder for me to give a fuck. I work in schools. I get to hear students talk about being scared of gun violence. Now I am not afraid of a mass shooter but I am just tired of it. I am tired of having to ...

A lot of people don't seem to be getting the point that others (not simply on this site) have been making. I work with high school students. They are fucking terrified by how many shootings are occuring and how easily people who should not be allowed access to firearms keep getting firearms. If some...

I was going through some old thread yesterday and realized how much SD.net has changed in the last decade. 10 years ago Ray was considered a troll/chewtoy that people would flame with impunity and Duchess was considered to be above criticism. Now Ray is one of the older and more respected(ish) membe...

Not my fault news stuff like this gets posted as "news". But I failed to notice a thread about the fires in the Amazon that impact our lives far more than this needless thing. But hey, 4%-10% of world oxygen production is nuthin' important in big elefant, I guess, let's go through austron...
