[quote who="Drzues" reply="101" id="2688433"]Because we broke our backs earning those rights and privileges. There's nothing wrong with people immigrating as long as it is done legally and at there own cost. Earn your way like everybody else not with your hands out and your palms up.[/quote] No you didn't, you just got born in a rich country. If you think that little office work you do is back breaking you're a moron.

[quote who="starkers" reply="48" id="2684672"] Why is it bad that the Fed is closing down illegal filesharing sites??? Because it is another step closer to becoming a totalitarian state/society...run by politicians in the pockets of big business. When it makes various laws to be upheld it's one thing, but when government becomes law enforcement, not to mention judge, jury and executioner as well, then it's time to be afraid... very afraid. Most of us are too

[quote who="psychoak" reply="47" id="2684554"]Poverty is a joke of a word that doesn't really describe anything resembling what it actually is. If you have more than your basic needs, and no, a $200k house isn't basic, basic shelter would be a one room hut with no glass in the windows, you're above what real poverty is. Redefining it every few years to put more filthy stinking rich people that have enough money to eat fast food and watch tv all evening does not make their situatio

Which of course, meant when we stated to watch it after 8pm yesterday. my 8 year old daughter decided to want to come downstairs and hang out with us while we watched the movie. So, obviously, we stopped the movie because it is definitely R rated. So after tucking my daughter back into bed, we watched it on

Well I think you're right, but I'd argue that -unlike piracy- immigration is a very complex issue: why do people in the West deserve all these riches while the rest of the world has nothing? But on the other hand, letting everyone immigrate is both impractical and in most cases has negative side-effects.

One thing playing with old-timers - the meta in this game moves subtly, but it becomes really clear that the community has upped its play when you see ancient, once-respected builds completely fail ^^ Absolutely, though it's a bit sad when you see the old timer dusting up a minion build and then getting absolutely smoked by someone playing UB with health stacking and sigils. Seriously UB is so simple and so incredibly OP, you can't be really good with UB, you know

Reply to Best 3vs3 team? in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Although in theory sounds like a unstoppable mad push team. Rook/ub/oak or rook/ereb/ub would beat this combo quite easily on cataract. the problem is you have to split in lanes in order to have flag control and extra experience from soldiers/archers. If you take one of these demis out of rook's farm, ub/oak can gank and get kills. if you do 1 lane push with all three. Rook/oak or rook/ereb can hold them a long while with the help of towers. That would make ub get higher level than

Because I play most of my games in europe I kind of have a competetion problem, for one there are very few people online at these hours=(, and well I'm also the absolute best player atm in this timezone(ERRATA: Obviously don't pretend to be the best player in Demigod, but I just mean in these games). Are there any other players out there that know their game and want to play some competetive games?

Best 3vs3 team? in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Now most teams I see either stack Tier I's, Oak/LE/UB, do the classic three sedna/erebus/UB or do triple general. My favorite triplet would be Rook/Doc Oc/QoT. Now yes you have only one stun/interrupt but honestly with the pure lane pushing power and damage of this combo, you dont really need it as the game would be well over before portals factor in. *UB steers to close*, rook roll + hammertime, 1900 damage and 2 sec stun. Oculus chain lightnings and jumps for 2k+ damage, and

Hey thanks for these bug fixes, but how about balancing this game a bit more? It's not a big list, but it would make me and a lot of other players return to the competetive scene. Ie nerf UB, monks, health stacking and buff the squishies.

BOTF is OP, and anyone who doesn´t agree with this is simply ignorant. When an item is taken by 80% of the players regardless of character, then it indicates something. Though while UB is certainly insanely OP and anyone that doesn´t agree with this hasen´t played this game on high level, being he should either be taken by both teams, or one team should play an anti-UB build(Rook+ pushers, and support), which leave them open for UB's teammates. But I don´t thin
