when I read through that forum the first time I got the impression that half the posters were ubik sock puppets or fanbois.

That UpperLorraine guy is hilarious.

I think odd about sums that up...

I don't even know where to start so I will just leave the link.

Thanks for "just leaving" the non-existent link!  That's a mercy killing if there ever was one.  :lol:

Oh no, you poor deluded naive fools, this is just the prologue for the horror to come.

Secret R&D teams continue work on the Magna Mundi code, and soon the time will come when the beta is released on an unsuspecting world.  But once an attempt is made to run the fully operational beta's fiendishly complex HRE mechanics, the consequence will be a fatal system collapse, which, via internet connections, will spread like wildfire, transforming into the worst computer virus ever conceived.  Within a matter of hours, the entire electronic global infrastructure will crash, resulting in mass panics and a total collapse of modern civilization.  Out of its ruins will arise new warlords and would-be kings leading ragtag batallions armed with clubs, picks and the occasional crude firearm. 

Only at that point will ubik's true design goals be revealed: the creation of a perfect, worldwide, living simulation of late medieval and early modern politics, diplomacy, trade and warfare.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

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.

This is the first post in long years to make me laugh this hard.   :lmfao:

What is up with that website? That said, I do like the picture of the Northern Caribbean. :D
