This is a board game board right?

What are your thoughts on this gem? I just picked it up for $5 sealed. I figure when Lord Emperor Trump wins the presidency it will rise in value.

With his current numbers, he still might. I, for one, am desperately clinging to this forlorn hope that somehow, presumably through divine intervention, Rand Paul might pull it off.

He's leading the polls hard, and he hasn't spent a dime on promotion yet. The only way he could lose would be if he scored less than the minimum and the Republicans just appoint someone over him.

Like, his next competitor is Cruz. Ted Cruz of all people, and that's only because he and Trump agree on virtually everything. Before that it was Carson and Rubio, but they fell off because they just lack the energy and they're not radical enough.

The real miracle here is that Jeb Bush is losing this hard. 100 million dollars, wasted.

He accused Donald Trump of racism today, or at least exploiting it. Basically everyone voting for Trump is both racist, frustrated with the economy, and cowards who are afraid of Islam.

He heavily implies it but never outright says it. He blamed Trump's high numbers on angry white men being mad at having a black president over the weekend.

I'm not surprised, given that half his time in power has been spent having Birthers shout at him that he's not really the President because his middle name is Hussein and he once pointed at Africa on a map. And Trump was pretty much that movement's figurehead, so he's been setting himself up as "the anti-Obama" for a while.
>>
>>44315051
I just think it's terribly hypocritical to be as fixated on race as he is, and to call the everyman racist. He's not NBP-league or NoI-tier racist, but he's pretty close to Sharpton-level racist.

Are you this fucking blind that you don't know about the baseless satanic scares in the 80s? My entire point of that anecdote was to prove that Christian today still believe the satanic scare was real, because no one ever bothered to tell them they were being delusional hicks. Hell, I had a teacher of mine that said that the "spells" (eg fireball) were from the satanic bible.

So you only know a few people who believed that? As opposed to the billions of Christians in the world that exist? You might as well claim that all Muslims support ISIS or all Jews only care about money.

I played tabletop games in Catholic school and I never had any trouble. I could summon demons and sacrifice people without the priest who supervised the group caring. People may be crazy in the backwoods, but in the real world most people regardless of their religion, culture, or political views just see it as a harmless game.

He is technically Turkish after all. If anything Erdogan would be the God emperor, considering that he still holds power in that country despite trampling over basic freedoms.

Funny you should say that, because I was raised in a fairly "urbanized" town in Ohio. What is this about stereotyping certain demographics again?

Trump has disguised himself as the God-Emperor of Mankind for ten thousand years, just as the God-Emperor of Mankind has posed as every single major figure in history. He is waiting for the right moment to reveal himself in all of his glory, mock Abaddon as low energy, and wall off the Eye of Terror.
>>
>>44315995
I said "May", not that urbanized Ohio is the state of people who believe that tabletop games are satanic. Maybe you should step outside and meet new people, gain another perspective. If there are crazy people then they certainly aren't going to be exclusively aligned in one category. I certainly haven't heard any of the candidates on the current debate trail say that they would try to ban D&D.

You can try playing D&D online via Roll20 if locals aren't into it. With the Ultimate Campaign rules for PF, you can buy property in cities, develop them, and rake in an amazing amount of money. The PF general's sticky has a pretty cool guide on it, if you want to go full medieval Donald Trump.

Yep. Early on he had principles and even derided the notion that his critics were just motivated by racism ("this may surprise you, but I was black when I was elected too"), but now he's so pissed over everything going up in flames that he's playing both the race card and the class card.

Ebin. My point was that you automatically assumed I lived in a backwater area, and thus only people from there must believe the satanic scare was real. Besides, just because your church is made up of a relatively younger generation or Catholicfags doesn't mean there is a larger amount of 60s and boomerfags that still have this outdated mindset of everyone that they disagree with must be some sort of hidden agenda to destroy society.

Trump would probably say it if it was an actual issue, mostly because he is a demagogue without an actual platform.

Where does this crap that he is a demagogue. That smells like the talking points of Washington elected political establishment. Trumpis not a demagogue. He actually has a platform and mission. He is a guy who is disenchanted with American politics and is promising everyone a political/social/economic revival by steamrolling and streamlining the present current day political day process, which has only enabled corruption and indecision to flourish. He is certainly better than all the other candidates who are just shills for various interest groups and wealthy plutocrats.

So what? Obama was playing to the crowd eight years ago.Trump is doing the same. What is the harm in that. A president or a politician needs to be charismatic. And the majority of these people running for the presidency don't have the charisma for holding that office. Trump at least does.

> Running on your mouth and not on your policy is the sign of a poor statesmanship.

It doesn't matter. He doesn't have to be a policy guy once he becomes president. He can have other people run policy. He is the president. He is the decider. The bureaucrats and politicians present policy, he makes the decisions.

America is the leader of the free world because of the size of its economy and the vast military-logistic chain that support a deployment of military forces across the globe.

If he can wreck China's shit, America will be leader for another 50-70 years. All he needs to know is that America needs economic growth to prospect. That is it.

Trump's an absolute madman who's pushing simple solutions, despite how insane they would be in practice. He says what he means with no care about practicality or offending a base. Meanwhile, every other candidate offers hard to understand solutions or lies through their teeth. Sometimes both.

The long lines of people waiting to see him in places like Alabama and Arizona says otherwise.

>>
>>44316915
I don't see how bad he can be. All his policies boil down to using the services and powers of the federal state for the interests of disenfranchised and impoverished. He has promised to protect people from terrorists (and ISIS). He has promised to cut down on unfair low wage economic competition via the importation of cheap labor from abroad.

Migrants are not the cause of lower class strife, it is a lack of a living wage. To believe that raising the minimum wage would be harmful to the economy is to misunderstand economic theory. Primarily: We do not live in a zero sum economy, and thus prices won't double from a doubling of minimum wage.
>>
>>44317382
>Migrants are not the cause of lower class strife,

When dealing with a country with monstrous underemployment, cramming even more competitors to drive wages even further down isn't going to help, but quite the opposite.

>harmful to the economy

It would be harmful to everyone whose labor is worth $14.99 or less an hour. I know, the trendy open border globalist perspective on the lower class schlubs that get fucked over in these situations is "tough cookies, git gud faggot" but, then again, you can see why Trump's popular with the less affluent types who've been told by the no longer pro-working class left (to say nothing of the establishment Republicans) to go die in a ditch somewhere.

Not to mention you're basically forcing businesses to radically downsize and automate.

The guy's tax plan is literally a fantasy. Everyone who's even glanced at it can tell you it's absolutely nowhere near revenue neutral. It leaves the national budget roughly a trillion dollars in the hole. He's proposing to make Mexico pay for an American public works project Mexico stands to gain practically nothing from. He wants to seal off muslim immigration and block native muslims from returning to the US.

He's the dictionary example of a demagogue. His "platform" is fucking nonsense.
>>
>>44317382
I hear it is because of concerns that folks who worked tougher jobs for pay above minimum wage would abandon them for easier jobs if minimum wage was raised.so you would end up with a lot of local businesses with a lack of workers as they can't afford to raise wages to prevent their employees working an easier job for the same pay

That's not the argument against minimum wage, it's that it means jobs which are worth less than that wage won't exist.
The factual part of the minimum wage argument is how many minimum wage jobs will cease to exist, and whether that outweighs the benefit from minimum wage workers getting more pay (and hence spending more, the poorer you are the more you'll spend of the marginal dollar)
I haven't looked deeply into it, but America's minimum wage is far lower than other developed countries so i'd guess it could stand being raised. I'm not the one running for President though.

Incidentally, this is one of the arguments for Basic Income: Minimum wage creates inefficiencies, so just paying everyone a lump sum every month is better for the economy
>>
>>44317588
That's the zero sum fallacy though. most businesses would see an increase in customer purchasing because more people at the bottom level would be able to pay for basic needs they are forced to forgo and luxury goods that they normally wouldn't purchase. In turn those businesses have more money to pay for their worker's higher minimum wages.

Also the idea that people working higher paying wages would just fuck off to simpler jobs is just as unlikely, and a sentiment shared only by people that haven't worked minimum wage jobs. On the contrary with a living wage for everyone, anyone could pursue the job they wanted to without worry of not having money for expenses.

To add to that, lots of small studies have shown that people payed more for simple jobs (things like custodial work, etc) work much harder when payed a higher sum, but people that work more mind intensive jobs actually don't have that same linear increase in productivity from an increase in pay

Rand Paul endorsed Paul Ryan in 2012 (who anyone with a 2+ digit IQ could see was a corporate shill). He tried to swim with the sharks while still having some principles, he failed at both.

>>
>>44317382
The minimum wage doesn't help when people just import illegal migrants and pay them shit and pay off the Feds and Congress.The current situation is due to the fact that the government can't enforce minimum wage laws and thereby it creates competition between illegal and native labor sources leaving the latter in the dust because the former can subsist on subpar wages.

>It's fearmongering at its most basic and puerile.

Jimmy Carter and Obama performed similar bans. Of course, in Jimmy Carter's time, we didn't have muslims wanting to kill us from all sorts of different countries, and both aforementioned presidents share a generous portion of the blame.

>>
>>44317872
It's also an ideologically and ethnically diverse population that cannot be defined by the actions of muslim terrorists. Banning Islam migration is basically acknowledging that the US is at war with Islam itself. Not all of us are so insane as to think that's a good thing.

Depends how you restrict it. The current American system is really terrible (or, rather, great for everyone else) because of its diversity requirements. You can only have 7% of migrants from any particular country, so there's a huge backlog of highly skilled Indian and Chinese professionals who can't come in because their spot has to go to unskilled labourers from "diverse" backgrounds.

Not really an apt comparison, considering Trump's appeal is much broader than his predecessor candidate, Romney, even among blacks, and lacking all charisma or affection for the country he still nearly won against the biggest democrat darling around. Dems lack anyone with even remotely comparable appeal this time around, and despite using race baiting rhetoric to the max, Bernie can't match Trump's minority support.

I'm not one of the people who gives a shit about this kind of thing, but his policy is so pathetically naive its painful to listen to. Yeah, bombing the families of ISIS members will totally make them reflect on their feelings towards America and cease aggression. Forcing refugees to stay in the war torn region totally won't increase ISIS' power base by providing propaganda opportunities and more soldiers. Building a wall between us and Mexico will totally prevent illegal immigration, and definitely won't be unbelievably expensive to build and maintain.

Absolutely nothing compared to the propaganda opportunities of successful terrorist attacks on western soil.

We don't want people in our country who are already one hurt feeling away from becoming terrorists, not least because once you let them in, those "soldiers" are going to be in our backyard, killing us, causing more leftists to get Stockholm Syndrome and convert to Islam, and generally being the whole circle of life.

It's kinda funny because if you go back to the 70s-80s, a lot of the countries in the middle east we call 'Savage' currently were pretty comparable to modern (At the time) first world countries.

Being bombed back to the stone age and destroying all the infrastructure has not done wonders for their ability to not have extremists take power in areas.

Groups like ISIS end up in power because they are the only way many people in those countries cna feel like they have some control of their lives and ability to deal with a west they think is trying to destroy them.

If Bush Jr., for example, was aware that some people were just savages, then he wouldn't have thought we'd be greeted with flowers as liberators from attacking Iraq. "Savage" is a perfectly spot on description.

What brought up the term of "savages" was even more apropos, ie the tired, yet insane, rhetoric that "we must bring in people from wartorn areas because if we don't they'll become terrorists," which will be remarked upon for generations as some of the most obviously self defeating insanity around.

They didn't manage to launch terrorist attacks on us until we gave them a -massive- reprieve, as well as having helped destabilize Syria.

Not to mention Trump's fighting against the regime change retards who want to continue the cycle, whereas you people are about 99% likely to wind up voting for someone out to perpetuate the cycle.

>We've already killed hundreds of thousands of civilians in the mid-east, and we have ISIS to show for it.

Not even close. See pic. Unless you have a very strange interpretation of "we" and "killed."

>How many more are you suggesting we kill before this plan starts working?

Depends on whether you want ISIS to be stopped, honestly. Obama's viewpoint was that we should leave them to their fate and thus grossly magnify the civilian casualties in Iraq, and thereafter they began with terrorist attacks in our countries.

Not only were the Coalition-caused civilian deaths miniscule compared to that which the locals inflicted on each other, but the vast majority of Coalition-caused civilian deaths were about destroying Saddam's regime -- not counterinsurgency, which is nearly bloodless in terms of slain innocents, while the insurgents (which eventually went from AQI to ISIQ to ISIS to IS) inflict a huge death toll.

So its up to you really, but the "peaceful" solution is by far the bloodiest.

Killing families of ISIS members is killing civilians because they may be tied to ISIS. Case closed.

Man, that was easy.

>may

Well gee that one word sure does matter doesn't it.
Nobody said anything about bombing people that "may" be ISIS members.

But hey, the western worlds combined military force is currently running full capacity here in a desperate attempt to stem the tide of ISIS soldiers.

It's not like we don't have just a token force of bombers tossing shit every now and then to give news outlets something to write about.

"Hey, we killed 300 ISIS soldiers last week! It's working!"

>>44319113

>Not even close. See pic. Unless you have a very strange interpretation of "we" and "killed."

We as in deaths that are easily attributed to the US, like when we destabilized Iraq, increasing instances of terrorist attacks there. You really think civilians there don't blame western interference for that shit?
The basic truth here is the middle east needed dictatorships, and our erstwhile efforts to bring democracy to the world fucked them over. The best we can hope for now is this current bloodshed to inevitably lead to more dictators, and thus some semblance of stability. Continued interference will just exacerbate the instability.

If you mean squandering an opportunity to ensure a non-nuclear Iran and potential aid in the fight in Afghanistan, then yeah.

It is genocide. You're targetting people of a specific ethnic, cultural, or religious group for death.

No one said killing ISIS members, you said killing their families.

lolno, into the trash it goes

Noble Anvil-style bombing indicates that you don't actually give a shit about what's going on on the ground

Locals killing each other aren't relevant to the conversation, which was about counterterrorism.

In particular, even if we were responsible for savages just doing their thing, that would be better chalked up under the heading of regime change, and the lines are very clearly drawn in this race in terms of which candidates are for regime change.

The ironic thing about this race is that the democrat voters are going to be the one fighting to elect a regime change president who is so much more "reasonable," despite, as you say, the 30+ years of high casualty adventurism.

If Obama is to be believed, that the Taliban are not terrorists, you can't even chalk up whatever civilian deaths were in the Afghanistan war to counterterrorism.

IS is comprised of whites, blacks, kurds, arabs, and more. Wrong on that front.

>cultural

They're everyone from Americans, to Europeans, to Iraqis, to Syrians. Being in a terrorist group isn't a "culture."

Unless all muslims are terrorists, targeting a terrorist organization is not genocide.

ISIS is a political organization. You have to be playing some fucking stupid semantic games to come to the conclusion that killing ISIS members and their families is equivalent to killing everyone in ISIS-controlled territory

Look, you guys stick out like a soar thumb. Whenever anyone complains about you or calls you on your bullshit, you scream about your reddit boogieman and then turn around when people correctly identify you as faggots who've escaped their hugbox. Reddit is your current scapegoat. A year and a half ago, it would have been tumblr.

Hours late, I know, but it was...okay.

The big problem is that so much of books 5-10 is "Alright, we all know shit's going to go bad, so let's take steps to prepare for the end".

Like, those six books could probably be condensed into 2 and be so much better. Hell, just down to 3 would be fine.

Like, if you ask me to take about interesting shit in books 5-10, I have like 3 from Lord of Chaos, and about 4 throughout the other 5 books.


I think it's just that certain things, while necessary, aren't that interesting to read. I just finished a book where the main character was an ex-slave in a prominent position in Magical Victorian England, and half the book's plot can be summed up as "White people are stuck-up assholes." which, Yeah, I get it, the Victorians were stuck-up assholes, and they'd be EVEN WORSE to a black man in power, but It just wasn't all that fun or interesting to read. The book ended up turning out fine in the last 4th, but the middle dragged.

Wheel of Time is an expanded version of that problem, and Lord of Chaos is pretty much when cool things stop happening for a while.

Bush was a neocon, his predecessors weren't necessarily. They're basically pre-hippy era leftists, they believe the US has the moral duty to use its military force to bring freedomz and justeez to the world. They've been this crazy for decades and never mentally matured past the Cold War.
