I thought it was a fair rule.

But I don't currently play in that thread. It's because I don't feel like it.

The Yi Rule is a good rule.  It prevents us Amis asking about the key supplier of saddles during the
Spanish-American War and other somesuch nonsense.

Nope, mead.

Essentially when the Emperor called on the Polish Prince to send troops, he replied that his knights won't go unless it is guaranteed they will have sufficient supplies of mead (the Polish chivalry's drink-de-jour) rather than beer (which was considered a peasant drink) or wine (which, I suppose, was rejected as something those pansy Southerners would drink). :P
I actually knew the answer to that one.  :cool:

The Yi Rule is fine with me, but I'm going to need you to surrender your US citizenship because you used the term "Amis".  It's UHMURRIKAN  :(

It's pretty clear, Languish wants the Yi Rule back. Sorry Yi, it goes back in.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Groovy with me. 

Now the survival of the thread is squarely in your puffin-blood-soaked hands.
