Be active and have good allies. Mensa were hit first in the last war and we "won" the war. Certainly we won the wars we fought in. Our members and allies countered faster than we could be attacked. I also know in our alliance there have been times when despite being declared on, our members have struck first just through sheer activity.

Any other black/mixed black Politic and War gamers?

I'm so beautiful it should be a crime -
Best of luck guys. We at Mensa have crossed swords with you a couple of times and have only good memories of the experience (Mentally blocking out all the nukes). Hope that NPO is the home you need.

Surely this is only inimical to rp if you value bonuses more than role play? For example if you accept that under military rule, the military budget will be more efficient, or under a technocratic government (noocracy) big projects will be cheaper... Then what's the big deal? If you want to rp as a democracy then you can take the benefits and the weaknesses. People who are more goal/game oriented can just switch. If you want to stop people randomly switching all the time, make the bonus cumulative over time or increase the time between each change.

It means the same as lol. I doubt many people would be willing to send 10m dollars to someone they don't know and expect it back.

I thought I founded phoenix? Oh no, wrong game

Well we don't fast in my household and I have two priests in the family! Haha I think it varies from region to region, with older people keeping to it more than younger.

Ansom is actually the biggest crybaby I've ever seen on P&W

In accordance with karmic theory, the Bithynian government has blown up a mosque on their territory and replaced it with a giant stone replica of Abu's head. A stray cat colony has moved into the empty building and it now smells faintly of urine.
-
Well if you understand international law, the Bithynian embassy was not part of Arabia. Also I'm sure you have architecture. Unless all your buildings are identical cubes, they are "art".
-
You'll find that the Holy Dioist Empire of Pakistan doesn't supply nuclear weapons to anyone, because nuclear weapons are for peasants.
-
Our embassy was previously a giant statue of your head, with grass for hair. Residents were shocked to see a missile fly into your enormous stony nostril this afternoon. Despite our best efforts to evacuate, we somehow forgot several tonnes of high explosive. Subsequently your head exploded with such force that several neighbouring buildings were destroyed, and a high ranking imam was crushed by an enormous replica of your nose. Bithynia sends her condolences to the families of the fallen.

The Pakistani Space Program lends it's support to alien and ayylien alike in their quarantine of the Caliphate.
-
Following reports that the Arabian Caliphate, under Abu Haddad, has converted the glorious sand© of Arabia into a muddy cesspit, the Dioist Republic of Bithynia officially closes it's embassy in the capital. This pigdisgusting destruction of the heritage of the nation, for the supposed production of foodstuffs, has not gone unnoticed by the Dioist hierocracy in the Punjab. Further pigdisgusting actions will result in direct action.

Go read the Bible then fool. 40 days isn't a literal number, it's something repeated through the Bible as being symbolic of a time of struggle. http://www.ecclesia.org/truth/40.html Secondly, fasting isn't a competitive sport. It isn't like Jesus was out to prove he could go without food and water for the longest. He can walk on water and make fish and wine appear out of nothing. He went to the desert (he was driven by the holy spirit) to prepare himself for the task ahead, in the same way as others before him. He was a man and suffered the weakness and temptations of man, and overcame them. I could go on for ages but in short: 1. It was an echo of the forty years the Jews spent in the wilderness after moses led them from Egypt 2. It was a chance for him to reflect upon the mission given to him, which ultimately led to his painful death 3. It allowed him to reject the temptation to use his power for selfish purpose and to dedicate himself to his father's will and purpose. Any more Islamic bullshit please take it to another thread.
-
Not many orthodox do this either to be fair. Also becoming vegan for 40 days isn't super impressive since millions of people do this all year round for fun.
-
You realise that asking for a little bit extra is un-islamic. You should do it with no interest pleb.

Everyone knows oblige only loves his fellow whales.

Literally nothing you say makes any sense. I'm astounded that you're considered smart when your communication skills are so poor. I *think* you're saying you spoke to someone I respected (I guess this is someone in Mensa leadership, but again making assumptions) and then you make some sort of comparison to other games, which I don't get since I didn't bring this up. Then you talk about the "we have lives thing" as if this was something I raised, when it was something you raised. I fully believe that you can play videogames and have a RL in the same way you can play football, be a member of a book club, go to the gym, and a host of other social activities and still have a functional work and emotional life. I have a lot of hobbies and I divide my time between them depending on my interest level at the time. Then you start talking about Mensa as if I somehow brought Mensa's in game fighting abilities or culture into it, which I didn't. What people get pissed off about is that you turn up and make totally stupid, but incredibly in-depth analysis. It's analysis that 95% of the people on this forum would be able to see as BS at first glance, since they actively play the game. But you post it with such self-entitled authority it frustrates people, since you seem absolutely convinced you're correct. It's usually so bad people don't even waste time arguing against the substance of your argument, but instead just dismiss the source. That isn't the best way to deal with an argument, but I think in this particular case it's forgiveable. I'm not sure what you mean by you being expensive. If you think you're wasting your time shitposting then I'd agree. I'm not sure why you keep posting about how you're going to school (I assume you mean a university) like this is somehow something impressive and not just the norm? I'd assume the majority of people here, certainly the overwhelming majority in my own faction, are university graduates or currently studying.
-
I have no idea what garbage is coming out your mouth, but as I said myself and most of my colleagues in Mensa are past the age of university study and have full time jobs and responsibilities, and we still manage to play this game just fine. I think excuses are excuses, and the old "if you're a worse player than me you're a noob, if you're better than me you have no life" argument is well and truly stale by now.

I don't know why people are pleased about nukes fired it's literally the worst move in a war, I was so pleased when I got nuked the first time. Immunity from attack for a few million dollars? A worthy trade.
