Community / Re: NW Community - Where are they now???

« on: April 03, 2021, 11:09:25 pm »

Where you from? (Most notable regs/what group you were apart of): Starting playing this game in the 77th Continental Regiment (some weird fucking racist ass people in there) when I was 12. I was in Millander's 1stFKI, 21e, and 15e for a bit and before that the 3eSuisse. Moved on to join the 79th Cameron Highlanders (NA) led by Armystrong (they were an offshoot of the 29th led by Hugonaut), I was kicked out of it for apparently wanting to make a regiment? From there I formed my first regiment, The 15th (yorkshire, east riding or whatever the fuck) we were pretty big for NA had a peak attendance of around 45 I was like 14 at the time. Some weird older people in the regiment were sowing some strife apparently while I was away on spring break so my 14 y/o ass decided to disband the regiment while at my grandma's house on my ipad lol.

I was in some EU/NA regiments as well: The Bruhlans (Cav), and 9e (IVe, Artillery reg) are what come to mind.

2 weeks after decided to form the 30th (Cambridgeshire) in may 2014, regiment was mostly active from 2014-2017/18 maybe?. Things got busy with university and the game so decided it was time to say goodbye.

What games do you play now?: Barely any, usually play some DOTA 2, or some Rocket league with buds. Occasional EU IV sessions when I have the time.

Any unit/regiment type infrastructure?: Mostly Line.

Are you coming back to the community when BCoF or Bannerlord comes out? (>implying):
Hah, maybe if there is a good napoleonic mod for bannerlord!

What do you do in the real world (job/hobbies): Currently completing a Bsc Psychology and doing behavioural neuroscience research investigating sleep-dependent memory consolidation in rodent models. Applying to medical schools so that I can cure those who contracted diseases playing NW.

i'll never forgive u for leaving us and being so adamantly against coming back

Just to clarify he said it's not true.

"The Third Position is a set of neo-fascist political ideologies that developed in Western Europe following the Second World War.

Nice.

I just agree with it economically, don't really see what the issue is with that

I dunno fam a mix of fascism and communism seems like shit x2 to me.
But I'd have to read up on the ideology to give you a real take. But I can't be fucked reading up on some dead ideology nobody gives two shits about.

I mean it's not really a mix of communism and fascism. More so of a mix of capitalism and socialism. Literally the only two sides of the economic spectrum lol.

Anyways, Maybe it's different for Europeans but us Americans have a lot to look forward to outside of the republican and democratic parties. Which essentially are extremely close, politically and are divisive to the core. I envy European countries with multiple political parties. We need deep reform.

I'm just glad that I don't live in California right now. 

What is happening?

Our governor is a moron that contradicts himself at every turn.

Virus cases keep fluctuating since the state has no actual plan.

Wildfires are getting worse and no one is doing anything to address it.

Smelt, a species of fish that is commonly used to indicate overall environmental health in the Delta (and California as a whole), continue to spiral towards functional extinction.

Homeless people. Everywhere.

yeah pretty much

OOF

Wait I remember I watched a Youtube Vid from a German living in California talking about how shit the state has become.

Is there a particular Reason why your politicians dont do shit against those issues?

Homelessness? I don’t know the answer to that one. We’ve thrown billions at the issue and most of it goes unspent or towards pork barrel projects that do nothing but provide positive PR for its respective figurehead. I suppose a good first step would be to stop treating them like parasites and props for gubernatorial ads.

I've been thinking about this issue quite often considering the fact that I live in an area with a high amount of homelessness. I think that one of the main problems we have when trying to tackle this issue is how the general public views homeless people. Rather than trying to elevate the financial status of our fellow Americans, we, as a nation, would rather look at these people with contempt. I think I noticed this the most when driving through a "poorish" neighborhood and my wife expressed some negative feelings. I know other people are like this as well. Based on what I've seen personally, I believe that there is a serious class issue within the U.S. I understand that a lot of homeless people are not good people, or are homeless because of reasons within their control. However, I do believe that the majority of these people can be useful for something, and should at least, have the opportunity to fix or change their life.

Anyways, I'm not a socialist necessarily, but I believe this issue stems from the fact that our country is obsessed with profits and consumerism, rather than comradery and community. This is a late stage capitalism issue and imo, is solved by a cultural change, rather than some sort of change by legislature initially. However, when the time comes, I would personally implement some sort of large-scale "homeless employment" that would consist of small or large scale public projects. Of course, this has been done pretty often. So  I would try to implement measures to make this semi-permanent. Providing employees a place to eat and sleep, in range within their work site. I've toyed around with the idea of tiny house villages (lol) or perhaps reclaiming abandoned buildings and repurposing them into housing for homeless employees. However, this could only be achieved if freed up some of our budget from other agencies. The first one that comes to mind is the military, but I would be weary of removing too much from the defense budget. As a good 60% of it is actually useful and not beaurucratic junk.

I'm drunk while writing this so I'm not too sure if my post made sense but i'll post the main point down here.

I believe that Americans have a serious cultural problem that can only be solved by becoming more collectivist. More beneficial and semi-permanent social programs need to be implemented to to give the economically disadvantaged a serious chance to reclaim their role in society. However, measures also need to be implemented to make sure that this system isn't abused/used by people that do not deserve it.

ok thanks

anybody have any experience trading futures instead of stocks?

I might put $500 or so into tradovate for futures since you can day trade those without the 25k stock day trading limit

very risky
i would suggest long term buy and holds rather than futures.

well thats the thing, that $500 is what I want to use to be risky and daytrade with. It's not my regular investing money.

Yeah you're right I should have forseen logging in with his admin and being racist in chat and taken away his admin before hand. I warned him privately (as I do with other people), and said next time his admin is gone, what's hard to understand about that?

I didn't know I would need to hold your hand all the way through this so ill take it slower this time. I'm not saying you should have foreseen it however if toxicity such a big issue that you're going to preemptively ban everyone from spectating just because they might be toxic but you won't punish a guy that came into the server and was overtly toxic it just seems kind of incongruous. What is hard for me to understand why we can't allow specs in the server you could easily make a rule where they can't talk at all, at that point it literally harms nobody (and could potentially help people like poor JerryOs)

It's almost like you didn't read what I said at all and just typed the same thing

No, I typed the same thing because you completely disregarded all the substance of the first post and instead attempted to strawman my argument. So I will ask again, why are you banning spectators just because they might be toxic but you won't take action against Cwater who was overtly toxic.

bruh

[close]

Are you going to ignore everything Cwater said or are you just gonna delete more posts? We don't need covid protocol in a video game bro, mute all exists for a reason.

what would you like me to address "Bro"?
also haven't deleted a post in weeks lol

[close]

You should stop trying to grab some moral high ground and act like this is about keeping the game clean or whatever. It's clear its a bad rule that no one likes and if people wanna complain about spec chat the mute button exists for a reason. People don't like the rule but just because it's grandfathered in doesn't mean you can't get rid of it. "Bro" stop being an ass about this and just let people watch the matches.

You seem to care a lot but don't seem to understand because everything I've said is already in previous posts, so if text isn't enough for you I'll b happy to explain everything to you and your 3 friends in teamspeak, this will be my last post on the matter

Dukes vs Rebels tonight at 9pm EST tho, I'll be in teamspeaks so you'll probably see me if anybody wants to talk

Ive read everything you said in previous posts and frankly your position is stupid and makes no sense. To not let people watch for seemingly arbitrary reasons and then double down on that bad rule when it's clear most people don't want it is dumb.

Wasn't Aurum streaming the match anyways?

I wasn't able to tonight

2021 is off to a great start. Coup on day 6! The writers really managed to up the stakes, I really thought they couldn't match last season!

this season gonna be fire

I don't know if I think the election was stolen or not, personally I think I may be leaning towards the fact that it wasn't but there hasn't been a real wide-spread investigation yet for me to go off of.

To me though, I understand why this is happening and it takes me back to when the George Floyd riots were happening. Circumstances are different but the mission is the same, to fight against a (as deemed) corrupt system. No amount of peaceful protesting will ever get rid of people who shouldn't be in power. This doesn't always have to negate to violence though. In my humble opinion civil disobedience is actually a fundamental part of any society - if justified.

Probably a hot take but I feel like the incorrect thing to do in a situation where you think the most powerful man in the world got his position illegally, or if you think that your ethnic group is being wrongfully persecuted, is to sit back and do nothing.

This is happening because our beloved commander-in-chief has been revving his base up into a frenzy that can't be reasoned with. Spending the last four years legitimizing batshit insane conspiracy theories in order promote a post-truth society takes it toll.

Trump didn't do it because he actually thinks he lost. He is doing it because he realizes that his political Ponzi scheme is about to collapse right on top of him. His supporters, the GOP, and half of America would suffer an identity crisis if he conceded now. Why give up when your base is naïve enough to be this invested and willing to donate millions towards a lost cause? This is the death-knell of conservative identity politics.

I agree with you & Theodin, like I said I don't really think that the election was stolen.

My main point with my post was to note that civil disobedience & rioting is a natural thing within a society and can and can not be justified at times. While I don't agree with the Capitol takeover I do understand why it is happening. A lot of frustration has been brewing the past couple of years, partly natural and partly expedited by Trump. I'm not too sure if the Capitol takeover is the culmination of this frustration, we'll have to see.
