Re: What are things that make LS harder to play than DS?

Why not simply lean into the fact that DS is easier for new players than LS? Frankly, I don't see any way to really change that without radically changing both sides, in ways that could have huge unintended consequences. The simple fact is, this is a PK-RP game. The roleplay of the game is founded o...

My first sparring lesson, with a surprise participant!

Accepted Sarinda found me last night, and offered to instruct me in some self-defense (which I sorely need), now that Novices are allowed to help kill enemies who threaten Tar Valon itself. It was my first spar, and my first attempt at anything close to pk that didn't involve running to Coulin as so...

Re: Wheel of Time Season 1 Episode 7: Dark Along the Ways Prediction and Discussion

I feel like the writers have got themselves into a big hole now, with making the first season arc, "Who is the Dragon." Since Rand knows now that it's him, pretty much the entire impetus behind his behavior for the next two books is gone. It took until the end of the third book for Rand to be convin...

Re: pets!

I just have a hard time believing the Tar Valon pet shop doesn't sell cats.

Re: America....

The argument being used is that the charter is not legally binding, and that the DNC has no legal obligation to be fair or even handed, combined with their actions during the last primary which were neither fair nor even handed (and as admitted by the DNC). When the DNC says that they're not being ...

Re: America....

Hillary Clinton perfectly represents the ideology of the Democratic party, which is a center-left, non-radical and non-extremist party. That ideology is represented by a basic trust in our public and private institutions, a realistic acknowledgement of where they are inadequate or inappropriate, and...

Re: America....

No, the argument is that the DNC and political leaders of the Democratic party ought to have a say in who the Democratic Party puts forward as its Presidential candidate, as a check on voters in Democratic primaries who are, for the most part, not Democrats. It is a check against demagoguery, and it...

Re: America....

Anyone can file suit against anyone else for almost any reason, and there's a very low bar to not having such a suit dismissed entirely. It doesn't mean those suing the DNC have any hope of winning. Having to go to court to defend oneself is not in itself evidence of wrongdoing. The DNC's is not arg...

Re: America....

Superdelegates are all of them either currently elected or previously elected government officials, or party leaders elected by party members. If you want a say in who the superdelegates are, other than those who are awarded their vote by being currently serving Democratic party members in the House...
