I'd prefer it centred, but maybe that's just me.

We'll be improving it over time; this forum does allow us far better control than ZB ever did, so in terms of forum changes it will make our lives far simpler.

Yeah, the decision of equal votes by lot is one of our system's loveable quirks.
I'm certainly pro-AV; it looks like it's getting hammered though. 60:40 No:Yes just came in from Orkney & Shetland, a safe LD area. Not good at all.
As for the overall results, the Tories are looking strong; it's a worrying omen for the left looking towards the next GE. Labour has a hell of a lot of work to do in the East & South of England. (Round here, everything's Tory anyway, though I can pleasantly announce that labour have managed a 33% increase in their representation on the local council, from three to four councillors.)
The other worry is the SNP: If they can bite Labour's Glaswegian heartlands like that at the General Election, Labour will have a hell of a job getting any result better than a hung parliament. The new boundary changes will benefit the Conservatives as well, so a Conservative OM looks more likely after today's result.

A theme should be incoming; longer processes will be getting modding forums moved across (passcoded forums seem to have messed up the converter) And I've got to find all the bloomin' Citizens and give them their rank again.

M&B Mods - The Explorer's Society / Old mods
« on: May 05, 2011, 05:08:42 PM »
While THL and TWD have been removed from the main listing due to inactivity, can we get another subforum created for old hosted mods with releases? THL in particular is still very playable for those with 1.0, I must confess I hadn't realised it had gone but we should make sure there's somewhere people can download it.

Discussion and Debate - The Philosopher's Plaza / Osama bin Laden - March 10, 1957
« on: May 03, 2011, 08:44:56 PM »
Again, I shall also voice my apologies if I said anything out of line. As I said above, this was an immensely impressive display of intelligence and strike operations - probably the single most impressively conducted operation in my lifetime - and analysis of the results should clearly not change the fact that this will a) make the world safer and b) has brought the most wanted man in the world to the end that it's fair to say he deserved.
And Mark, given this is a man who's responsible for basically the largest tragedy in US history, please be a LITTLE sensitive.

Southern Realm / Southern Realms; Main thread and Latest Release
« on: May 03, 2011, 08:29:54 PM »
Given that it's got a very playable downloadable release, I don't think it'll ever quite count as dead. It's inactive at the moment, but I think if a mod has a good playable release then it's definitely not worth removing or archiving it. And if I get WB at some point I'll probably try and port the thing as well.

Discussion and Debate - The Philosopher's Plaza / Osama bin Laden - March 10, 1957
« on: May 02, 2011, 02:21:24 PM »
I suspect the biggest impact will be in America itself. Bin Laden was beginning to fade across most of the middle east, al-qaeda influence was becoming more restricted to already unstable areas such as Somalia or Yemen and a heartland around Pakistan and Afghanistan. I'd expect some revenge attacks, but this will overall continue the weakening of the Al-Qaeda movement.
But as I say, it's the US that will feel this most. The fact that so many families will now feel justice has been done, and probably most importantly the fact that this is probably a more powerful and effective display of American intelligence and military capability than Rumsfeld ever managed. Obama seems to have borne himself very well throughout, as well, and clearly personally has been pursuing this goal, so I'd be surprised if this didn't reflect well on him in the polls.
Pakistan has big, big questions to answer about why he was found 700m away from a major military academy though - and there are still worries that the anger at an operation which (while extremely successful) violated Pakistani sovereignty could lead to a backlash.
