Yes a geologist who also did one year of Natural Sciences and also has studied and read thousands of medical papers. You do realize many experts on various topics do not have relevant graduate work, just as many people work in jobs with completely different graduate degrees. That is not always what makes one an expert.


Natural Sciences as in...geology. She did one year in medicine, but received no medical qualifications.


Also, she received an RNDr (not a PhD or anything). in "Doctor of the things of nature", in Bratislava, which makes it equal to an extension of a master-like degree.
She's not a Dr.

Actually, a group of CA senators are introducing legislation to remove the personal belief clause. The press conference was just within an hour ago.

Being vaccinated is like going into war in a bullet proof vest. It's not going to prevent you from being shot, but it will increase your chance of walking away from it with a bruise and not dying on the battlefield.

hell, even if there was an earth empire app, you could have push notifications for your country news and all that jazz - it can just basically be the mobile version of the site we have now, but in app form.



Considering I work in the games industry as a game programmer, those numbers aren't out of my ass. They are real numbers.

Believe me, making EE into an app with push notifications wouldn't make it any more appealing to play. Considering the proliferation of IRC bots for announcing attacks already, it would barely take half a day of work to add Android/iOS push notifications from the same IRC bot. What's the catch? You need to run a server (not an issue if you already run an IRC bot), and then you need to pay Apple $99 per year for developer status, and you only get 100 device slots during app testing (that is, you can only test your app on up to 100 unique test devices - The limit is only for apps in testing, not for apps approved on the app store).


This isn't and probably will never be of the clash of clans magnitude.

Costs would only be that high if you find someone foolish enough to fund it. You could recruit devs and designers as a startup, give 1.5-2 year vesting for work done. Just need to cover costs of incorporating (if it isn't already) and legal fees for the vesting docs.
Just to note also, if you're paying someone 3k/month, it'll cost you closer to 5k after benefits & taxes, at least in California.

Could also fork out the extra 200 for an enterprise license and not have to deal with the app store.

If you're going in shallow lake or river, or at least staying in the shallow parts it's decent. I actually have that and use it on a 10ft inflatable. Works well, will tell bottom, depth, and if fish are around and how deep.

If you're out somewhere that's over 100ft deep it shuts off. Keep that in mind.

This is the newer model of it which works down to over 300 feet

4 times revenue would be high for a declining game. 1.5-2x net would be more likely.

As long as you're quitting the game at the end of your suiciding set, or you just make a few landgrabs with 2 weeks to go in the set, then it sounds like it'd be all good. Least that's what I'm taking away from the LaF heads on this subject.

FDF, we all know hitting during the stocking phase a a fluff move - It isn't against any rules, just classless.


wait...let's set up some FA rules about grabbing during a stocking phase. I will make sure my stocking phase begins on turn 100 and ends 30 seconds before the end of set and anyone who hits me must send me $7bil cash with 96 hours of the hit, or the whole clan must delete their countries.

Dude, it's a war game and the best way to get a high nw is to gain land. If I am smart enough to hit you when you have 150mil bushes on hand, 50k acres, and only 3mil defense, than I say I win. You should plan better to not get hit.

This is not a game for only netgainers. Some people prefer war. Some people don't care about either and just want to get a really good landgrab to see if they can beat their best one to date.

If you only want to netgain and never get hit, build a game that doesn't allow landgrabs. Or better yet, build a game that has hundreds of bots that don't attack and allow real players to only hit the bots.

This is all dumb and people need to stop whining when they get butthurt. Take it, dish it back out and move on. i don't cry when i get raped in express. i just stop netting and start fighting.

Not at all. I had already said there are insufficient mods to cover Express across all time zones. The fast paced action and turn speed means if a mod responds to a ticket 6 hours after the fact, hundreds of turns already went by, and your country can already be dead from just 2 or 3 multies, let alone 10-20 of them. Tickets for such a fast server needs to be reacted within 2 hours, and I've said in the past this server alone needs at least 5 active mods, and pushed for the server speed to be reduced, or the maximum turn count reduced from 360(360) to 360(180).

Sure, a mod can delete multies after the fact, but that doesn't bring your country back to life, or restore your country to a pre-suicide state, and the suicider has achieved his goal either way, and you lose veteran players.


Why isn't more of that automated? It takes a user reporting to realize 3 countries just coordinated a series of attacks in a solo server? Really?

This is why the game is still interesting. No matter how much you know about other alliances' plans, you really never know wtf is going to happen.

That said, I don't agree with how it went down, but that's my own opinion. And while the DANGER camp might be the minority, the game doesn't cater to the majority.

Dev team, if you take the random aspect out of the game, I don't think it would survive for too much more. You can master the game if nothing comes out of right field, but when it does, it's a completely different ballgame.

Google the workforce investment act. Low income (or no income even) can be subsidized for schooling and/or training, even on the job training. Enrollments range from 14 to adults, from people just entering the workforce to dislocated workers. I believe this can also cover rent in some cases though I need to double check.

Then google headstart, which gives parents subsidized preschool from birth to 5 years old, and sometimes older.

These are both federally funded grants already in place. The tools are already there to do what you're saying.

I would bet that the libertarian folks around here opposing the minimum wage would also oppose a government workforce training program, so might as well throw that option out.

Not sure how it works where you are, but here in California, they'd do nothing about it unless he admits to it. About a year ago I was gassing up and saw a guy in the next parking lot over ram into a car, back up, then move forward and hit another car which then collided with a third. Then he gingerly started to leave, so I finished up and chased after him. Took a cell phone pic of his license plate and of him driving. Went back to where it happened and sent the photos to the three people who's cars were damaged along with my info. Insurances called for statements but told me the police would do nothing unless he admitted to doing it.
