Your previous post about the odal being rare used the Italic Runic alphabet rather than the Elder Futhark, you can blatantly see the runes that odal is based on when the alphabet was adapted to germanic languages. It's a fairly common rune if you look at the correct alphabet, see an example from the Rök runestone. There's kind of a lot of odals. The sound described by Odal was divided between Uruz and Ansuz during the development of the Younger Futhark in the late 8th Century. The rune also survived in the Anglo-Saxon futhorc until the alphabet was banned by Cnut the Great around 1000 AD. If you look at the appropriate time period, it's a very common letter. It's used in words like bean, sister, and do. Not exactly a rare thing.

There's a difference between a swastika, a pair of sowilo runes, a sowilo rune, and a winged odal rune. You also might guess that the jackboots in your example are pretty key. Using context is the key. Having people RP as vikings or varangians and using Norse runes should not have Nazi connotations. Having people roleplay as racist nationalist socialists probably should. In any case, the racism is the bad part, odal is just a letter, you may as well despise Aethelstan for his spelling as decry this AA for using a winged Odal.

So serifs make a Nazi then? Better warn the Ukrainians, they're only 45 degrees off! So: Racist Not Racist You may as well argue that is racist and is not. I can't imagine why a Varangian-based alliance would want to focus on the rune for home. /s

8 pm military update Amazing. Sucks for all the people from Perth to Poland, but it's better than what it was.

Best april fool says what?

Manthrax stop being so reasonable, we're supposed to hate each other.

o/ SK Buy me a drink next time I manage to stumble into Boston.

Good luck settling into your new home and o/ NPO.

Have fun gents.

Congrats on the upgrade guys! NPO is moving on up and SK is good to its allies. o/ NPO o/ SK

Good luck moving forward t$.

o/ SK It's been a pleasure fighting you guys, good luck on the rebuild.

Cheers guys.

Your memory is bad. We only had two nations leave the AA around the war and neither went to ghost. Vincent went over to you and Martiy went to Sigma.

Alpha blitz be like.

Good luck supporting t$ ayyliens.

CF is a nasty disease. Good luck with your surgery and I hope you have a fast recovery. I hope you see 50 by a long shot, I'll be praying for you.

As much as we're supposed to care about abstract events, people really care about events that actually impact them. In the past 8 years, only two federal events have actually impacted me. Obamacare saved me thousands of dollars by delaying my need for independent healthcare by several years. The government shutdown !@#$ed over a bunch of my friends' funding and experiments. So for the entire Obama presidency, that's +1 democrats and -1 republicans, gg see you next decade.

Dat booty doe.

That seems like some serious overkill.

You have to click the "Create New City" button, but don't have to actually build the city.

360 aircraft, 21K soldiers, and 0 tanks. Such amazing air force, good thing ground control doesn't exist.

Hidden archive seems like the way to go, get it out of the way, but everything remains if a resurrection is in order.

May the keg never run dry. o/ Fark o/ Alpha

How many is this now?
