Round 13 / Re: (Fire) Gen. Napalm Grenade 2 - (Underworld) Lt. tttt 0 (No Salvage)

« on: June 28, 2011, 04:09:10 pm »

There was evidence sent to me that showed that Fire had made more effort to come to a resolution.
Napalm and Sevs both said that there were complications with both sides and would like to duel after the line rather than going to ruling.

I asked both teams to front then and there to duel. The original opponent tttt, was able to duel and neither was Sevs.
Napalm was ready to play if a game could get done right then and there. It could not be done so I ruled based on the aformentioned effort shown by fire.

Fire was given the win without salvage. Play on.

Outnumbering all other teams does not constitute a bye and will not affect them if they are now in last place.

Pretty crazy round. If people who are fighting know the time of the battle beforehand, please post it here with big bold letters. My current timezone sucks big time, but I'm hoping I get a chance to see a battle or two.

Also, I added 4 more rounds to "Battle Results" section.

Thanx SG

I made an effort to get out of it.

How about you?

I fear somehow I agree that humanity as whole does indeed deserve a wipe-out.
... Or at least a "reset" of biblical proportions.

Then again, we are in the situation we are in and being realistic about it probably
carries further than abstract theory.

All I am saying is that the "weak" ones are weak for a variety of reasons.
Not many of those reasons can be traced back to the doings (or non-doings)
of the weak ones themselves.
For the most part, they seem to be weak because others became strong
while riding on their back. Then those strong ones gave birth to even stronger
ones who got to flourish under most favourable conditions while taking further
advantage of the weak ones.
Generations later all that is forgotten ... the "American self-made man" has
indeed done everything himself it seems. He has "no idea why black people
are at a disadvantage when they have all the rights I do." He is happy about
a 20% increase of his stock-portfolio. Okay, most of that portfolio comprises
petrol-firms and arms-producers but "why is it my problem that those diaper-
heads in Iraq and Iran had to bomb Manhatten and now they're stuck in a war?"
He spends 140$ dollars on a "business"-lunch and responds to the beggar in
front of the restaurant asking for a buck: "Get a job!"
... The beggar is the son of a factory worker who worked in a factory of the
rich mans father for 20 years, who then got fired when the place shut down
and who forced himself onto his wife numerous times while being drunk.

Society, in some countries, tries to care about the "unfortunate" in the form
of programs and welfare ... a drop of water on a hot stone, or "ineffective"
as some might call it. I prefer the term "insufficient".
Those who are fortunate, all too often forget whom they owe it to when
questions like "Is living a life of luxury while others starve immoral?" arise.

Nice Story.
Have you ever lived in Poverty?
You get over it or you die.

Sorry, I had to travel to work.
I don't expect some morralistic rich folk to feed me if I cannot feed myself.
