ddickinson: When it comes to things like politics, I worry that people take things as a personal attack, and I would not want that, hence why I implied I meant no offence. I also understand that the average German is not doing too well at all, despite Germany manipulating the EU, as you said, it seems to be going into the pockets of a select few, rather than the people. I though that the German economy was predicted to slow down soon? That the industrial centre was slowing down due to other nations realising some of the underhanded methods the German government has been doing to ensure Germany remains strong in the EU (again, no offence intended). As for those percentages, I would think it is similar in nearly every country. That is the true colours of capitalism, the rich get richer and the poor stay poor, generally speaking.
The economy is slowing down a little because of the Russian trade embargoes. Russia is an important partner for many European countries, but especially Germany. Well played by the Americans to get the Europeans to shoot themselves in the foot like that...

ElTerprise: No offense taken. The problem is that especially profits from the current situation like the crisis in the southern european states. The original idea to get the states to a similar level has been abandoned....
And i definitely agree the power in the EU should shared among all members.
The EU also needs to stop accepting every damn nation that applies. They are considering letting Turkey enter. Last time I looked Turkey was not in the EU. They are also considering free trade with the US, which will only damage the EU economy while profit the Americans. But as long as the corrupt few who makes these decisions profit from it, they don't care.

toxicTom: Among others... The "Mutti" meme is rather wide-spread, and an obvious choice, since she's being staged like that.
What does "Mutti" mean?

i though that was what it meant (and I guess I could have just Googled it). But I was not sure, as I was wondering why you would call her Mom Merkel?

They considering Turkey since 1959 or so - i doubt that will ever happen. But you're right. It's not a good idea to let everyone in. Imho at least the membership of Croatia wasn't a good idea with regard to the situation in the balkan..

And i'm totally against the free trade with the US. But that's exactly what i meant. The current EU totally abandoned the European Idea and is now only the accomplice of the big business...

That's true, which is why I am hoping the UK leaves, at least until the EU returns to how it was, or is burned to the ground and a new organisation can come in and replace it.



The rain has finally stopped, and there is still a little daylight left, so I will be getting some more of my extra work done before I call it a day. I hope you all enjoy what is left of your evening!

*big hug and silly waves*

Yeah - i still hope the EU could change without having the UK leave (even temporary) but i'm not too confident that this will happen...

Okay see you later *returns big hug*

Well... I guess since the Germans can't have their Führer anymore, they now worship the female variant. Must be genetic, but on the other hand, I don't know where my genes are coming from then...

Actually I find all kinds of personality cult a little scary...

EndreWhiteMane: That's been on my wishlist for a long time.
I play Endless Space by the same dev and it's a great game.

Morning Everyone.

ElTerprise: Moin. How are you doing?

EBToriginal: I have finally found a 4x game I can make sense of in Endless Legend. Played an entire game in one sitting the other day.
avatar
ElTerprise: All of the Endless games are waiting to be played in my case - and i heard some really good things about Endless Legend.
Pick up EL and start with it I say. I finished a six faction game successfully in about nine? Hours.
