That is partially correct, but there's another aspect linked to the cost of the nominal basket of goods increasing - oil prices.

In the space of about 5 months, from October - November to...

Eras are quite important in MTW because they clearly outline the differences in units available - Varangian Guards, which are one of the best Byzantine units, are only available for recruitment in...

If we're going to have again building slots for castles / cities, restricting them to 6 max... no good. MTW 1 had unrestricted building slots for every castle.

Also mod tools. Very important.

It's quite possible that it was made as a protectionist measure. Even today you can see sleek hypercars costing millions of dollars will tacked on, heavy rubber-plastic rear-end bumpers because of...

Because some aspects are heavily regulated while some are not. There is a significant imbalance.

Let me give you a clear example which I know personally - car regulations. In the USA, you cannot...

Wooooo awards!!

You're confirming the point I am making - there is low regulation in the USA. It's deregulated compared to the rest of the Western world - aka the European Union.

Case in point - GMO's are...

That has nothing to do with the issue described above. Food security and quality has nothing to do with the little employee protection, as outlined above with clear sources / articles / interviews /...

Ha, John Oliver in his new segment is covering the meatpacking industry and the lack of safety protocols because why should there be proper protocols.

More shiny bling, looking forward to it :D

Glad it "transports" you to those times / period. :bow:

A new chapter coming soon!

This is not the media here, they're quoting state officials. I steered clear specifically on any media analysis; I wanted to know what the officials in charge are saying. Their exact words. And...

I still don't understand why wind turbine is the problem here.

Wind turbine represented 23% of total possible output. Not even one fourth. That leaves 77% of it in the hands of gas & coal. When...

Gas turbines are NOT running. They're offline. 25% of wind turbine power does not account for the rest of the 75% going partially offline.



30 GW were on natural gas and coal. Taken out. This...

This is a very delicate case and could have a huge effect down the line on how social media works.

I will reserve judgement on this case until the final decisions are taken, but forcing search...

Alright, so if the gas turbines had a backup power source, why have they been shut down and Texas left in the dark?

So... it has nothing to do with green energy. Gas turbines were shut down frozen.

Except it also applies when the white guy is a second class citizen himself.

In Switzerland, back in 2009, there was an outrage from both Romania and Bulgaria because the SVP (Swiss People's...

Texas's energy capacity was reduced to nill pretty much because Texas does not experience these kinds of winters, and as a result, you don't really invest in this kind of heating and insulation. If...

:D

Yeah, we're getting old. I was much younger when I signed up for TWC during my computer class in secondary school. Fun times.

Not quite, this has been going on for almost 2 years. Roaring Kitty made an analysis over 2 years ago on this, Michael Burry (from the famous Big Short movie) even mentioned this about half a year -...

I'm glad you still remember that Halie. :bow:

Byzantium TW indeed. Memories. And also a lot of posting & working for an idea of a mod.

It's clearly not.

Banding together to buy up the stock is not market manipulation, you're not a cartel.

Ironically, the short laddering (artificial transactions to lower the price) of the...

Personal pass on it. Don't agree.

I do agree however with making the Artifex more as a medal, since some modders are not interested in politics here.

But Patrician & Citizen, as titles, should...

Soooo... I get a Milestone Award! I'm up to 16 years now in May.

While I do consider it's a good idea to limit a bit the whole madness that was caused by WSB, this being classified as market manipulation is... ironic. A bit rich.

Judging by the restriction of trading, the lack of transparency, the emergency bailout capital and the fronting for transactions, the term of market manipulation is possible either way you look at it...

Alwyn, thank you. :bow:

It's a bit darker in theme than say Swords Made of Letters, certainly different overall and you will see a much larger group of characters along the way.

I'm overall very surprised at the reaction by financial media over this thing.

I've known WSB for some time now and while a lot of it is due to the lulz, most of them over there realise the risks....

Princeton University report about predatory short selling - https://www.princeton.edu/~markus/research/papers/predatory_short_selling.pdf

Shorting is predatory in some cases - you're basically piling cash on the downfall of a company instead of wanting them to succeed. This is why Musk has been struggling for so long with Tesla, they...

Melvin Capital has a history of bragging about their positions. They bragged about it in public that they're shorting Tesla, which led to Musk tweeting yesterday his support of GameStop.

As many of you probably know by now, as it has been plastered all over traditional media (TV / newspapers) lately, there's full blown "war" between social media, namely Reddit, and Wall Street, over...

I remember this one, I remember what a whole scandal it was on the website. It sort of set the bar for how things like this should be governed.

Almost 15 years ago...
