In the wake of everything that happens...

<Snipped quote by Dinh AaronMk>

It's because they try to capitalize on it or shift the rightful focus to fit their agenda. It is a lack of modesty in the face of tragedy. This is increasingly applicable to far too many politicians.

@KnightShade

It's human nature, not a modern invention. I'd suspect people been doing this since the Pharaohs.

Might not be a bad idea to have the KMT represented with 1% or less for RP purposes. Like, the original game has Trotskyists and liberals present in the Ussr if I recall right

Hunger Games: Fourth of July addition

Welcome back to the Fourth of July Hunger Games! We've seen the blood of patriots water the tree of liberty, and now it is time for the conclusion. Who will win the title of "Most Alive Tribute" and go home with nothing but scars? Let's find out!



Ron has recently been kicked out of a bar, ate at McDonalds, and now he is drenching his food in hot sauce. He is living one of the most American lives we have seen yet. Their spirits up, our three most aggressive survivors sing about bombs together. Meanwhile, MLK makes exactly the face you make when you receive underwear as a gift.



Pokey, like so many Native Americans of her generation, fails to get her vaccinations and dies of some strange western disease. peperony and chease. Ron sobers up and goes hunting for immigrants. Betty White is fucking vicious, and she destroys MLK with shock and awe from above. peperony and chease. A little frightened by Betty's killing move, Lafayette flees to the west.



Now America's only surviving tributes are the whitest of the original group. Somewhere, a KKK grand wizard is smiling a toothless smile.



Ron is going through some things right now, it might be best to just let him alone. Lafayette, who has used the Cuck word before in our games, gets some comeuppance while he hides from Betty White. Betty, meanwhile, fails to launch another murderous explosion, to the thankful sighs of the other two.

So here it is. The final moment. Who will win, who will not win? Drum roll in your brains now.

Are you ready for this?

peperony and chease. peperony and chease.

Which means...



She did it! The crazy old broad did it! She won America! Ron Swanson was put out of his misery with a 'work, and Lafayette dropped the soap, leaving Betty White as our Champion 2016!




With that, the week closes and the people of the world get ready for some BS holiday like Bastille day or whatever. The smoke settles, and it may be a while before we see the games again. Write your local congressman to see more.

Meanwhile, here is some stats.

Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

In Spain the majority of the government would be taken by the Derecha Unida and the Conservatives, with Derecha being majority since Sotelo. Carlists and Liberals will both probably be rockin' 5% each.

With Ethiopia, the Solomonids are the majority. The Rases would probably be fairly popular in Ethiopia proper, so give them maybe 15 percent. Democrats could also have thereabout the same. Commies would be a smaller minority, at something like 5%

Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

Ethiopia
-Solomonids: Monarchists. They'd be in power. Yaqob is their Emperor.

-Democratic Constitutionists: This'll be their democratic liberals. Fitawrari Iregi would be their leader.

-Wakomunisti: Communists. James Lutalo would be their leader.

-The Rases: Nationalists. Basically this'd just be the generals and surviving nobles and their supporters. Ras Goliad would be their leader since Hassan should presumably be a general.

Their national spirits would be things like "Pan-Africanism." which would do something to reflect the disunited nature of the Empire but also the ease of recruitment and mobilization during a war. I'm not sure what else you can do with National Spirits so I am not sure what else to suggest.

Spain
-Derecha Unida: This is Sotelo's party, so use it as your Totalitarian. Sotelo would be their leader.

-Partido Conservador de Espana: This is Tejero's old party. Use it as your Democratic. Don't have a natural choice here, so let's use Alejandro de los Alamos, the director of the state oil company, as their leader.

-Partido Reforma: This is the leftist party, so I guess use them as the Communists even though they aren't really commies. Manuel Mola would be their leader.

-Partido Carlista: This'll probably end up being who the monarchists are. Carlos Hugo would be their choice as King.

Their national spirit would be something like "Spanish Capitalism". This should reflect the nature of Spanish capitalism as a more plutocratic from than the American type, so it should reflect the essentially centralized and militaristic nature of capital there.

Hunger Games: Fourth of July addition

Welcome back to the Fourth of July Hunger Games! peperony and chease.



Roosevelt goes out with a whimper. peperony and chease. Snowden dies from the carbonized fallout of his own violent career. peperony and chease. Hot Wings prepares a primitive weapon while Ron Swanson, hungover, goes hunting for a cheeseburger-like facsimile. Betty White dreams about the moment when everybody else is dead and she can finally walk free.

We start of strong here, with the death of two powerful men by rather weak ways. That's the way these things always seem to go. Never a great violence, just a lot of stupid accidents until the least accident prone survives.



There they go. We find ourselves saying goodbye now to those who fought bravely on the red white and blue field of patriotism. They like so many brave Americans might find themselves buried in Mrs. Lee's rose garden, which would mean that R.E. Lee himself will be returned to the soil of his home.



Lafayette and Betty White don't seem to be romantic in this scenario, but they do share bunks. This means something in a world where most people are dead and their beds empty. A friendship perhaps, that might very well last until the end. Meanwhile, Pocahontas shows us that she really is an undervalued participant.



Pocahontas and Betty White get in a scooter chase. This is a bad move on Pokey's part. By choosing to play an old woman's game, she threatens her own ability to compete and therefore by ip-so-fact-o she risks catastrophe. Ron Swanson brings the electoral sway back to the Dems. We get a surprise call in from the Bernie Sanders campaign, no doubt telling MLK about a variety of percentages that exist in the world. Lafayette does the blasphemous thing and begins to wonder if he might very well just be French or something like that.

But now Hot Wings dies. From the Sugars no less. It is no wonder, besides being an unhealthy meal itself, the Hot Wings has spent much of the game collecting food. As we lower his disfigured body into a funerary vat of Blue Cheese sauce, we must take time to reflect on the obesity epidemic and how we have let this finger-lickin' disease expand as deliciously across the country as it has. peperony and chease.



One shot, of the heavy sort, can be heard. The mournful cry of callioping trumpets joins in a low wishy-washy song. RIP wings.

Eastern commie Russia hasn't had a flag designed or even described at all.

@Dinh AaronMk

I spent some time thinking about flags on this ol' Poland Ball. It isn't cannon obviously, but it might not be a bad jumping off point. In this case, I took the old Russian Republic flag since cannon has since designated the Republic as not communist.

The Unpopular Opinions Thread.

<Snipped quote by Vilageidiotx>

Within two minutes of turning on CNN, I was watching a fear-mongering gun control lecture. So I switched to Fox, and they were running a fear-mongering Obama/terrorism lecture.

Gosh, I wonder if maybe we're so divided because everyone keeps trying to rile us up against each other?

@mdk

The media politicization doesn't help, I agree. I don't know if it is avoidable though, short of everyone growing wise to it. And that all the news stations were playing footage of that man that was gunned down in his own car... yeh, that certainly played a part. This is how this situation played out for me actually. First short break at work I walk out and see in the main hall, where they have CNN and Fox playing on every other screen, that both stations are showing the raw footage of the man that was gunned down in his car. I go back to work. A little while later I go out and see the protests are going in Dallas. I go back to work. At lunch, I go out and the news is about the sniper shootings. So yeh, I'm sure the showing of such graphic and emotional footage as a man dying while a cop holds him at gunpoint... that certainly stirred the pot.

But at the same time that incident did happen, it isn't a media invention, like staged on the moon or something. And it is hard to avoid hearing of cop shootings every week anymore. People have been calling for police reform, and though body cams have come into fashion because of it, these things keep happening. I have been saying for a while that this shit was going to come to a head and some guy was going to think "Oh shit, society won't reign in these cops, either I kill them or they kill me." And here it is.

I don't want to see violence here, not against dudes in their cars and not against cops monitoring protests. But this shit will only escalate if we take the "Cops need to come down harder" route rather than the "Oh shit maybe we need reform" route. And I have no doubt the former is the one that will win out, to the detriment of everybody involved, since all militarizing the police will do is cause more deaths, and then more violent reprisals.

For the record though, I agree the fact this shit always becomes a second amendment issue or terrorism issue is BS. It seems it always goes that way because that is all the media knows how to talk about, and we end up avoiding any deeper issues because of it.
