I guess getting rid of a pimp is a change in social order.



Imagine if helping americans doing their revolution was illegal :(


Not really, changing one pimp with another doesn't change social order.

Why you think you are the only frenchie here? Why so sensitive. B)


There are like 10 people posting frequently here.
One Singaporean, one French, one Irish, one Ukrainian, one half-Russian half-Ukrainian, one Polish, one German, a couple of Donald Trump supporters (some of them Putin friendly), one Biden voter who works for USA army.
Did I miss anyone in the party? :)
Pretty nice mix from all over the world I must admit.

Elections held in half a country seized in a coup and with the opposition party banned, micromanaged by a foreign power, have no legitimacy. Western Ukraine has no legitimate claim to authority over Eastern Ukraine, and as the Western government never reorganized as an independent entity with actual borders and sovereignty, their elections are no more legitimate than the ones being held in Honk Kong or Somalia.

If Western Ukraine had seceded and established itself as a new and soverign country like South Korea, that would be one thing. Instead it just severed the legitimate governance with a coup and ended any pretense of democratic representation within its declared borders when the most populous oblasts had zero representation in government. Just like Donald Trump should have learned, you don't get to declare an election mulligan via coup and carry on and claim legitimacy afterwards.


The election was held in the entire country minus the stolen Crimean peninsula, and the opposition reformed in a new party which was on the ballot. These are basic facts.

Wow, Putin basically just stopped pretending: "During the war with Sweden, Peter the Great didn't conquer anything, he took back what had always belonged to us, even though all of Europe recognised it as Sweden's. It seems now it's our turn to get our lands back [smiling]".

General rule is:
Dusk Shroud if you’re using a Monarch, Mage Plate otherwise.

Every point put into Strength is a point not put into Vitality, and having a bigger health pool is way better than having a bit more defense.

Akin to having Republicans overthrow the lawfully elected Democratic president, have California and New York secede, then hold new elections where the Democrats aren't allowed to participate and claim a legitimate new Republican-led democracy that holds dominion over California and New York. Democracy is an all or nothing affair. Either you have representation of the people inside a democracy, or you don't have democracy. You don't get to pick and choose which elections count, take mulligans and disenfranchise half the country, ban their parties, seize control of the press, outlaw dissent, then surrender all sovereignty to foreign masters.

Somalia held some "elections" last month for a new "government". 275 of the "representatives" cast their votes and elected Mohamud over Mohamed in a 214-110 victory. Of course, only 24 of those representatives were elected by citizenry, the other 251 were simply put in place by NIEC as representatives of various clans and warlords working with the UNDP, UNSOM, IESG and their EU/US masters. And even with such a transparent sham of a process, they still found time for Mohamed's forces to assassinate opposition candidates and arrest journalists. In the end they had a power struggle over a role with no real power.

Democracy without representation isn't democracy. The trappings and superficial process of democracy don't make a democracy.
