This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Omega;881900Well if your grasp of Mycenaean Greece is anything like your grasp of Greek gods... Then your players might want to consider finding a new GM. :rolleyes:

Lords of Olympus can help with that. It has a super-detailed set of descriptions of the Greek Gods.

Quote from: Spike;881944Are you disputing my characterization? If so, based on what facts?

Or is this another substanceless rebuttal?

Why would you have any doubts regarding the substancelessness of said "rebuttal";)?

Quote from: jhkim;881385What are you expecting that I should do to not allow it? Stand up and tell my GM, "That sucks - change it or else"?

No, I expect that after the game you will have an adult conversation on the subject with the referee.

Jesus, dude.
You should go to GaryCon.  Period.

The rules can\'t cure stupid, and the rules can\'t cure asshole.

Quote from: Omega;881034TSR's Marvel Superheroes had the Karma system where it was both EXP and your general luck and general standing with how the populace viewed you.

You're thinking of Popularity for how the public perceives you.

Quote from: Bren;881195Depends on the business. The costs of violating FCPA for US companies can be quite high. Siemens and others have found that the anti-bribery laws in Europe aren't a total joke either. $1.6 billion is hardly a laughing matter to the Siemens shareholders.

You believe those actually get paid? At full price?

Quote from: Matt;887037You believe those actually get paid? At full price?
I assumed so. Siemens, for example,  is under Continental not Common Law which I'd expect would afford them less ability to legally delay paying. Do you have some information to the contrary?

If there's proof they weren't paid, I'd be interested in seeing it, and possibly having some words with my EP representative;).
