Not everyone can be as cool as Padraig Pearse.

Gerald Smyth Day 1,937, 14:59

His swag levels are off the charts.

Gerald Smyth Day 1,937, 14:59

He has to bully a relatively new, powerless player in order to feel good about himself. Real cool. Real groovy.

orangejuicemmm Day 1,937, 15:14

That escalated quickly.

MR. PADRAIG PEARSE Day 1,937, 15:25

Apoligies comrade. Take a joke pls

Gerald Smyth Day 1,937, 15:26

It's half-sarcasm based on fact. What would you call that?

Winston Hope Smith Day 1,937, 03:35

Hmm.. The idea seems a good one.. But there is a false dichotomy in the exposed terms. There are no "simple" opposition between Socialism and Capitalism, and both arn't alone on the political scale. For exemply, Anarchy or Facism doesn't fit on your scale.

On the "Globalism / Nationalism" scale, again it is a fake dichotomy. I would say Global Citizenship and oppose it to Patriotism. But again, this dichotomy doesn't include all of the political ideas concerned, like the ones that want no borders but do not want a globalism either (city-states or communes for exemple).

So yet again, good idea but poorly exposed.

Still, a better article than 68.43% of them all in newspapers 😉

Fair points. I wasn't quite sure how to pose the questions. I decided there was no perfect way. This isn't designed to be an in-depth poll.

Also nice exact percentage. I'm glad somebody is doing the research.

Maybe you should redo this one from scratch and actually give it some dimensions and direction.

Seanan Day 1,938, 16:14

To be fair, not even sure what Socialist and Capitalist mean in relation to game mechanisms. The economic game is long dead, and the only real achievement of economics is what it can offer to war efforts (as self improvement is only possible by buying ingame credit or being an old player with many companies); if the question is whether or not I think those who do not benefit from those inputs should make concessions to allow further advantages to those who do, then I don't as that doesn't win wars. The best achievement a player who buys ingame credit, or now old players with a built up wealth, can hope for is to distribute that advantage to their 'team' in order to further a group military effort.

This poll is about game? I really thought it's about real-life. Military Unit seemed a bit strange but you know...IRA etc.
