    What is the tentative start date for this current IH? And has the game type been decided so that we can start choosing our faction/ building our character?

    To explain my text dump in the planning thread, Reddit is down. My productivity skyrocketed.

    So since the theme around here seems to be post apocalyptic stuff has anyone else seen the Fallout 4 teaser?
    "We all know whatmy brother would do. Robert would gallop up to the gates of Winterfell alone, break them with his warhammer, and ride through the rubble to slay Roose Bolton with his left hand and the Bastard with his right. I am not Robert. But we will march, and we will free Winterfell … or die in the attempt."

    It looks like we'll be heading back to the East Coast, specifically Boston. Can't wait!

    Yeah, I'm just as confused as you probably are at how Jeb Bush is apparently my #1 pick, but is immediately followed by Bernie Sanders Who is, in turn, followed by a chain of six other Republicans before we get to the next Democratic candidate that I'm supposedly most compatible with (Clinton). Nor does the part where the presidential poll says I've lined up with Sanders and the Dems on 'domestic policy', but then turns around to state that I identify with the GOP on social issues in the party poll, make any sense. Finally - the Socialists of all people are in my top 4 of preferred parties? To that I can only say: lel

    Bernie Sanders was my #1, followed closely by Clinton and right behind her Huckabee.

    They said I identified mostly with the Socialists tied with the Green Party and right after them the Libertarians.

    Hey, we're pretty much voting the same people, Perry.

    I identify as an "Anarcho-Syndicalist" as per Noam Chomsky, so that basically makes me part Socialist, part Libetarian.

    Some of these possible responses are just hilarious.

    "Should the federal government subsidize U.S. farmers?"

    "Yes, as long as they are organic farms."

    Who's the limp-wristed, vegan, yuppie who came up with that idea?

    That said, apparently I side with Marco Rubio. He seems decent enough, but I've found that there's no side that really represents my views very well anymore.

    Sanders is too right-wing for me, as you all know well.

    I don't think I'll vote. I'll gladly donate my right to vote to another, more deserving person.

    there can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun,

    but the union makes us strong.

    That's no more fair a generalization than saying that everything south of the Mason Dixon line and east of the Mississippi is Duck Dynasty.

    Just sayin'
