Part of administratorial responsibility lies in making a point of not using one's power for idiotic purposes.

Drakey could, I expect, wreak havoc on the forums (like rename all forums to "IMBAN"), but I suspect we'd have a new admin pretty soon afterward. He's not bound so much by limits on his power as by the unwritten rules of what makes sense. That, and his own Code of Conduct of course. ;)

Which would sort of void the enduring disinformation point that Drakey is actually seven years old.

Taking into account that Jeff programs for profit, he is not likely to turn off a part of his customers by pushing his political views in his games. Especially in these times of heated division.

I don't know Jeff's politics, but the aforementioned suggestion lends itself very well to a commentary on current events. After all, who's Garhazad but Dick Cheney with superpowers?

Of course, Garzahd was invented at least ten years ago, so it's more like reality copying fantasy. Still, the comparison is eerily apt. I saw Garzahd on the screen and could just imagine him scowling and grumbling "Go -- yourself." :P

And I heard something to the effect that Jeff was libertarian. Don't know when or where I heard that though.

You never defined "round", nor "square". If "square" a geometrical shape with four points connected by four equal lines at right angles to each other, then you're right.

"Square", as it does in Britain iirc, can also mean "a public, open area in a town" (or "plaza"), as in "Trafalgar Square". There are of course round squares in a lot of cities.

It is definitely a matter of language and definition.

Seeing as how little detail the general shape of the world and its other continents got, I think including one drug is perfectly enough. The purpose of the game isn't Skribbane (though Alo will disagree on that point).

And the GOP, the way it is now, will be damned if they put up anyone but Bush if they can, or Rice if they can't.

So far, we've only considered certain matches: Bill Clinton vs. Bush, Hillary vs. Rice, Dean vs. McCain...

What if it's Dean vs. Rice? Or Hillary vs. McCain?

Of course there are moderators. Blasphemous unbeliever.

The existence of moderators can be seen all around us! Whence do the locked topics come from? Evolution? No, mark my words, we are looking at the work of an intelligent authority here.

Three years, and a single term. And to replace the "reelection incentive", the president pays a substantial sum into the treasury from his private assets, which he only gets back (sans interest) if at the end of his term his approval rating is above, say, 60%.

What do you think?

Oh, of course president wouldn't be such a popular job then...

html code doesn't take that much, I'm sure. If you send just the html file without the pictures, would that fit?

If it doesn't, I'm sure Logalot will have nothing against it if you use webspace on images.polarisboard.org for transfer.

Alrighty then. I look forward to seeing it. ;)
