Not listing NH clans such as RoT here now. 1. CORR What can you say? Currently dominates wildy. 2. DI Can do good matches with CORR and has a great organisation+turn out. 3. DF Is a bit in a bad place. RSD is on a rise and DI+CORR are really strong at the moment. 4. RSD In last few months had huge crowth and only lost to DI. Ran over EoH&VR in many events, got crushed by DI and RR seems to avoid them. Great organisation, spamming and turn outs. If miracles don't happen, will soon be in same cast with CORR. 5. EH Great organisation like Reznogg said, but been ran over by RSD few times in last few weeks. 6. VR On a rise at the moment too, but not strong enough to fight top 4 clans yet, at least not to give them a real challenge in a long run. 7. RR Has ok numbers and ops, but only fights the top clans at forums. In last 4 weeks rejected a fight against RSD numerous times and doesn't really done anything to impress anyone. They might be able to take weaker clans, but to be ranked high you also need to defeat/do really well with some clans that actually are something.

Was a good fight and ty to VR, nothing bad to say about them.

Just ask your older brother, some mate of yours or their brothers.

Unlike Romans, USA has now things that can stop it, Russia and China to be named.Basically Rome could spread as it was able to beat its enemies, currently if USA got into a war with Russia or China in a situation where the stakes are high, mankind is doomed.

Gotta agree with this one, truely love Grisham's works.

It can't be THAT hard to find xxx material from the internet... Or if you prefer watching yourself, just get a mirror.

Noam Chomsky: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noam_chomsky Also Vikernes' book "VarsmÃÆÃâÃâÃÂ¥l" along with his essays are great stuff.

Just eat more than you burn, it isn't any rocket science. I've personally seen many people who say they just can't get mass and when you look at their daily menu you can stop wondering why they don't get it.

http://data.unaids.org/pub/EpiReport/20 ... WCE_en.pdf According to the United Nation's programme on HIV/AIDS, in western Europe 35% of people carrying aids got it from gay sex while 56% got it from hetero sex.

It's true that America's actions aren't anything new. However it can't be used as an explanation to keep doing it again. When we compare current possibilities to ww2 times or to even older, we're in a new situation: with current technology the consequences might be something we've never seen before. Compare it to ww2 for example: Germany's invasion was "easy" to stop as the chances to get totally destroyed for the stoppers were small. Now a big war wouldn't cause "only" 60 million casualties. It could turn into tens of times more. If we want to avoid the total destruction, all these neoimperialistic countries (mainly Russia, China and USA) must stop their acts. If they keep pushing forward, eventually they'll be colliding. Already USA and Russia are playing dangerous games together: Russia is already rising its military budget a lot due the American missile shield project (we at least had one topic on the shield on these forums, for Russian budget: http://www.jbs.org/node/5081 The point here is that the way things are now done must be stopped. Just because we managed to survive from one cold war without the worst scenario happening, it doesn't mean we could do it again. During CW it was already so close few times, next time we may not be as lucky. If we get into a new world war, it could be even the end of mankind at worst scenario. Btw, USA just announced that a certain Iranian military unit members are now terrorists. This includes 125,000 men who are serving in army the same way as US troops. The scary part here is that if US attacks Iran, these soldiers won't get the rights as normal war prisoners get if they get caught. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co ... 62_pf.html

If patriotism makes you close your eyes from the mistakes done by your goverment. In my eyes true patriotic defends and supports his country, not his goverment. Do you feel like it was right to support NSDAP's policy in Germany? Again, you don't get the point. When we critisize your goverment, we don't lynch every American. There's cool americans who can use their own brains. Which genocide did you stop in Iraq or Afganistan? Saddam was judged for something he did during he was your allie and you still supported his regime few years after it. You got the power, but that doesn't make you any better. No country should have the right to act like USA currently is acting. I'm not Venomai, but lets still answer. Even tho world piece is an unreachable fantasy (at least currently), it can't be the excuse for wars and misery. We may not stop all wars, but we can affect to the number of them. I find this rather funny. You judged violent acts from "terrorists" and same time you support it from your side. You gotta understand that when you use violence against someone, he most likely will use it against you. To stop violence you should not use it, tho: answering to violece with violence is an endless circle. A counterattack always follows a counterattack. With that attitude you won't get anything better. Just because things could be worse, it doesn't mean you shouldn't fight for making things better.

With that logic, we shouldn't also critizise the doings of Iran, North Korea, judge the leaders of Germany in 1940, be quiet about Stalin and so on. Just because we don't live there it doesn't mean we couldn't see what's happening. You also seem to forget that if we (=every non-american) now close our eyes on your doings, it might affect to us too. If we want to have a peaceful world, we need to stop the neoimperialiastic spread and try to get different countries to work with each other instead of teaming up to fight against others. I'd rather trade with arabs and pay a reasonable price for their goods instead of risking as much as you're currently doing. Judging your doings on abroad has nothing to do with stereotypes, propaganda or any other thing you said. If you're too blind to see what's happening, then that's your problem. I also don't think we're naive: after all you are the one here who can't seem to accept the fact that your goverment has done mistakes. In comparison, we've seen both doing them. Btw you could become the new president of USA. You seem to ignore facts and close your eyes as well as your current.

Iraq war has caused around 70-75k civil deaths. Even though not all of them are victims of your bullets and bombs, it was you who caused the situation to go like that. Btw, how did iraq kill your civials? Also, don't you count economical warfare, kidnapping&torturing innocent people and stuff like that to terrorism? Btw, even FBI supports openly counterterrorism. The question goes, when is it counterterrorism, when terrorism and when it's war? http://www.fbi.gov/quickfacts.htm Yet you can: * Arrest people without any solid proof and torture them. The scary part here is that you can kidnap even citizens of EU countries who have never even stepped your ground. Same time you are complaining how some people are being judged brutally but by written laws. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khalid_El-Masri Also you can read the sources there. * Attack other countries even when international things such as UN votes no for it. Is this democracy? Is this respecting the international laws? * Try to convince multinational countries to stop their trades to certain countries that haven't agreed to your policy. * Allow things from your allies and deny it from your opponents. One reason for anti-american feelings at the muslim countries is that you allow certain things for Israel which you don't allow for them. 9/11 Didn't happen because you're USA, it happened because of what you've done in the past, what you're doing now and what your future plans. Your war on "terrorism" doesn't stop it, but it gives an excuse to spread your imperialism. During cold war, communism was your excuse to spread your power. Now it's terrorism. The only difference is that now you got something that is real but can't destroy you. Compare 9/11 to what USSR: USSR could have destroyed you (and whole planet), but these "terrorist groups" can only wound you. However the attack of "terrorist groups" has already happened and will most likely happen again whilst USSR had few closeup but nothing real.

Handguns are currently (not 100% sure about their origin) used mainly to protect and competitive shooting. They are relatively weak (=chances to kill are relatively low when compared to other weapons) and inaccurate. In the other words, they aren't good for hunting deers. However even tho they are mainly protecting, they can be lethal. I personally would want to see stricter gun laws in USA. With a working permission system and strict enough penalties for even owning an illegal gun would help a lot there. In my eyes machine gun CAN'T have any other reason to have than militarical things. Notice that there's a difference between a rifle, shotgun and machine gun.

The point there wasn't someone using overpowered weapons to hunt animals. The current liberal gun laws in US are pretty shocking, but the more shocking fact is that far too big population actually defend those laws. For example the big number of school shootings in US should wake up people. 19 cases in 10 years (source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4371403.stm) is quite a lot. When you compare it to Europe, you should see that even tho there's more population living in Europe than in USA, the number of shootings is a lot lesser. At this point we get into a subject why do these crimes happen? After all getting the gun isn't the only thing you need to shoot someone, you also need a motive. Could it be that your social and welfare system aren't good enough? I already talked a bit about welfare earlier. Currently to get a reasonable threatment at hospital, you need an expensive insurance. To get it, you need a good work. To get a good work you usually need a good education which in USA requires an expensive private school. The point is that in your current system your backrounds mean too much: in Scandinavia for example with a working welfare and social help systems pretty much everyone can become anything. Our schooling system works really well (look for Finland at PISA test for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programme_ ... Assessment) and everyone has equal chances to study. Also that 3 million thing there made me laugh. Seriously, 3 million is nothing there. Iraq war can cost (of course having it's natural resources and geopolitically important place pay back something) up to 1 trillion dollars (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/05/ ... 8872.shtml some sources report even higher numbers, but that's the most trustable source I found in few mins) and so on. If 3 million dollars/euros/Mongolian tugrugs/squirrel furs can get you a better system, you shouldn't think if it's worth it, you should think can you start it today or wait for tomorrow. Seriously, working in 3 places can't be the right way. First of all, minimum salaries should be set to a level where people can actually live a normal life by working 8 hours a day in one place. You also don't seem to understand the idea of welfare system: the poor are helped so they can have a worth living and same time trying to get them a job. It's not something that can magically replace working (if it could, our unemployment rate in Scandinavian countries would be 100%), but it helps when you don't have one or when you are having hard times. First of all, how can you attack a country, destroy their infrastructure, dethrone their goverment and after all that think everything there would be ok after you checked few labs, caves and warehouses? Second, your current acts in Iraq don't give a sign of leaving it: even the most optimistic talks are about withdrawing majority of soldiers but leaving training centers to train a loyal army of iraqians and having some geopolitically important military bases there. So Osama, a man who knows how to hide and use the media to boost his power, would hide in Iraq where the majority of US soldiers currently are? Heck, he has better chances to currently sleep in a Swedish hotel than be in a cave near to Baghdad. Also you have to remember that attacks against US can be planned&funded by many other souces too. Your current acts there won't stop terrorism. It just gives a good ground for its growing: it boosts hatred towards you amongs the iraqians, it has showed that you can attack without a good reason (first hit strategy) and it has ruined so many lives giving them only goal: to hit back. To stop terrorism, you don't go to conquer another nation. First of all you should check history a bit: the USA's politics (Israel being it's satellite there) at Near East (where most of these so called terrorists come) is they key for it: your imperialistic acts there have caused a retaliation. I personally am rather surprised that since Iraq's war no major attacks towards USA has been done. However its allies such as UK and Spain have gotten their attacks. And when you pulled out the terrorism-card, I'd like to ask you same questions I've (without a success) tried to ask few other times. What is terrorism if I may ask you? Is it causing the death of few thousand civilians after all you've done at their homes? Is it causing the death of tens of thousands of civilians? Is it pressuring multinational companies to boycott a country that doesn't obey you? Is it kidnapping citizens of European countries, torturing them and finally releasing without any trials? Please define the word terrorism before you use it. What I've seen, terrorism is just a word that's part of American mantra and with it anything is allowed. Your ways aren't that different from the acts of "terrorists".

Stuff like freedom of speech can only reach a certain level. True freedom of speech does not exist, same way as true democracy doesn't either. There are certain things we either aren' allowed to say loud because of it being a taboo or in worst case protected by laws. In certains places you reach the limits faster than at some places (compare USA vs Iran for example) but the limits are everywhere. Good examples are for example wars, religions and political views. Certain political ideas are classified as "fascist" and thus aren't allowed. Denying holocaust is illegal in many European countries and people have actually been jailed for it even on 21st century. For taboo things, look at this US vs "terrorism" war. In USA you can defend wars on Iraq&Afghanistan, but when you try to give any support to Osama's acts, you're publicly lynched. The reason why I personally see this freedom of speech talks coming more and more common is that we now know more. Internet has opened a new way to spread unwanted rumours, news, pictures and articles. Now we can read about the doings of our goverment from somewhere else too than magazines.

5.8.2007 My skilling goes like a tank: slowly but surely. Like I said, I do what I feel like doing. Been in quite a few clan events lately so that has slowed down too, but anyways I've also been lazy and those events actually were mainly fun. Managed to get also few other people into crafting. At best times there's been me+4 clan mates crafting laws in w66. Of couse they might take some deals near the altar, but at least I know I'm now alone with my task. This is a good start!

Laws are so much faster that it's better to make them now and then make money after the 91.

83 rc :ohnoes:

2.8.2007 So, yesterday started the blog. Today I should hit 83 if miracles don't happen, atm under 19k to it. Yesterday's nature crafting was pretty fun. Mastrshafter been shouting at Edge like a lil kid as "our n00b clan" took over "his homeworld". Of course he tried to RC pk me but no success. Returned there and he started to whine after it how I TBed him and how in the end my clan mate came to help. Of course I tb a teletubbie who has had a teletab in every pile I've seen :P And when there's 10+ of my clan mates in Edge, it's not a wonder some came there. Oh well better luck for him, RSD has been pkin longer than Wildy has existed, so one man can't really change anything :P Law running has been somewhat great. Many deals there and last night I didn't even need to leave altar many times, got many trades near it. Was about to take the level yesterday, but got called for Anticrash team for one miniwar and went to bed after it.

I personally didn't find a part from the rules where that would have been said to be against the rules. If you compare this for removing things were people are being accused of autoing, you gotta remember that my list contains people who aren't accused of breaking game rules.

At 1917 constitutional law votings Bolsheviks got 25% of votes and weren't the biggest party. Social-Revolutionary Party for example got 40%. Note that those elections were after the revolution. Of course the more time passed, the less anti-Lenin thoughts there were: it was either accept or die. The problem is that USA most likely won't accept anything else than pro-american goverment, a bit same style as was in Poland or Czechoslovakia(sp?) during cold war when they were under the red hammer. Many major cells there most likely won't accept this kind of of a goverment. To solve it, we need to find out compromises which please both sides. If we go for pro-USA goverment, the Iraqian cells will keep doing what they are doing atm. If we go for their stylish anti-USA goverment, USA has lost this war and would have gained nothing. In the other words: both sides need to work together and accept some unwanted things if they want peace.

ty all :)

Some of you might remember my 99 farm post. Just like it, I will now publicly announce my goal and force myself to go for it. I'm now going for 91+ rc for 2 reasons: it's one of the truly hard achievments out there and it's one of the best moneymakers in whole game. Someone might say it greediness, but money helps so much in this game that it would be stupid to say no. I'm not going to be the fastest one to go for 91 rc, I'm doing it with my own speed and as much as I feel like doing. If that's 1k laws per day, then it shall be that. If it's 30k, then it's that. The mainsource of my xp will be w66 laws, but also some natures will be crafted. I'll also add a list of all rc pkers who attack me, in the other words 120+ cb :) XP: (all times gmt+2) 1.8.2007 - 19.00 - 2,591,333xp 2.8.2007 - 19:15 - 2,681,898xp 5.8.2007 - 13:15 - 2,797,836 lvl 91 = 5,902,831xp Milestones: 1.8.2007 - starting of this blog 2.8.2007 - 83rc 120+ RC pkers Mastrshafter _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2.8.2007 So, yesterday started the blog.

Did a bit natures and thousands of laws. Hopefully a new picture comes soon! Post something :P

Would also want to add the current situation to this. Is it democracy when we can pick from chosen people? Look at the upcoming US president elections for example. You can't chose the best alternative, you have to vote for the best one out of chosen candidates. In better multiparty states than US, the problem comes in money: the ones who can pay biggest advertises and get their faces to important places, get time from medias and so on are most likely to win. Is democracy also the best way? The difference between majority and minority might sometimes be almost inexistant, so is it ok that the small majority holds tyranny? What I've seen with my own eyes and heard with my own ears, it's somewhat easy to manipulate the majority of people. This Iraq situation is a good example. Still many people are here claiming some stuff about WMD's, dethroning Saddam, 911 and war on terrorism. Yet, they don't seem to know things. Does it make war on Iraq acceptable if majority of misinformed people say it is? Lenin took the leadership with power and fought a civil war to stabilise it. I don't see that as majority's decicion. Before starting the war, many American officers warned not to go there and WMD's were their main reason why not. The reasons why not were that if they had them, it would be most likely that some of them got into wrong hands during the chrisis. This could have gone into a situation of WMD's being used against America or coalition troops. Good thing they didn't have them as it was obvious before the war. Another reason was that it could have been a good sign for other non-US-friendly countries to get nukes. It can be argued what was the last reason why South Korea got nukes, but war on Iraq most likely didn't at least positively affect to their motives. Your current actions should aim to stop the chaos. However it doesn't. The best way would be to reduce US troops and get international peacekeepers there with UN troops. After that all the major group leaders (political leaders, "gang" leaders, etc) should be gathered around the same table and start negotiations. The peace must be brought by them, not to them.
