That should shine a little light on it. I read through a few of them, but still don't get it. I think it's another derivative of the N and S word, as they use them typically to describe just about everything.

This comes down to a fundamental human condition that where we think if something can be measured, it can be controlled. It's hard to discern facts from fiction in the case of global warming especially now that corporate agendas can be figured in to the statistics. At this point the data is so convoluted that it's hard to say who/what is right. Fact has really been eliminated from the global warming debate and has been replaced by it's old adversary "opinion" and as we all know, opinion can be greatly dictated by where the checks are coming from. Stands to reason why certain people would be eliminating or altering data in this debate. We wouldn't want the facts to effect the paychecks, now would we?

The earth has been going through cooling/heating cycles for millions of years. To say that this particular one is being caused by human activity is, well, arrogant. I'm not going to go through some in depth analysis or get in a debate on the issue, because as galleri pointed out, "you all have gone too deep..." and rather than get into useless numbers and statistical debates it'd rather just stick to the fundamentals.

Yeeeeeahhh...

Regardless of other peoples opinions, Rockman, I'm sorry to see you go. You're good competition for the server. :)

On another note, suiciding is an issue with the game especially against non-GDI countries. I was in the top 10 on the last set up until the last 8 hours with an all explore cash republic. I got turned into a parking lot. My crime: Not joining the GDI. In fact, the individual that did it made a point to send me a message stating that "I'm teaching idiots like you the importance of using GDI." The obvious solution is to just join the GDI but I think it's sad that we have players that are predators of non GDI countries making it a necessity in the first place. This player in particular was running a rainbow strategy, obviously showing he had no skill whatsoever which I've heard is common among the suiciders.

I know some of you haven't dealt with this yet, but as more of us use GDI to protect against it, we will have suiciders that declare war simply to suicide. My guess is, they'll target top 10 countries, since they can't make it there in the first place and it will be completely random.

I don't think it's the responsibility of the game mods to keep introducing new rules/codes to prevent these bad things from happening to the more skilled players. Our best bet is just to acknowledge that Express is a whole different style of game play, and fortify/play our countries accordingly.
