[quote]The UB needs to be powerful because he cannot surprise any one. There are several Dgs that can surprise you and then pick up the kill. The UB can just get in your face and survice long enough to slay you where you stand.[/quote]Name two. Erebus surprises people, everyone else just wades into a fight, which by the way UB is much better at than most with his innate 6.3 speed and his movement speed enhancing skill.
[quote]Nerf HP items, or buff dps items. UB is too strong because HP items make him too hard to kill.[/quote]Seriously man, give it up. UB's strength comes from dealing insane damage inside of a stun, reducing HP is NOT going to hurt UB relative to other DGs, it's going to magnify his early fight burst damage.
Hi. First I'll just list the issue I'm facing and then I'll fill in the backstory of how I got here. I uninstalled Demigod and whenever I try to reinstall it says I am working in offline mode. However when I go to log in it seems to log in fine. I can see my account info, friends list, etc., you name it. However no matter how many times I reinstall Impulse the same issue persists. I never had any issues with the original DG installation and update process. The reason I uninst

[quote]I saw a reference to North Korea...don't make me laugh. If they for some reason decide to invade or send a nuke towards us, they would basically get stomped to the ground, and the US would gain a lot more influence in the international community due to suffering from a disaster. The bottom line is that the US is spending money on preparation for conventional warfare which pretty much no longer exists.[/quote]North Korea could flatten Seoul in a matter of hours, they have a mass

[quote]Betting the future of your country on someone else's rationality is not really sane. In 1939 Germany's biggest trading partner was France.

Claiming it's useless because they aren't using it against two piddly shit countries that didn't have a real air force to begin with is fucking stupid. Only an utter moron would use a top of the lin

[quote]It's too difficult to time an interrupt correctly, especially in laggy games. Even having a split second lag can throw your interrupt timing off. Giving it a 3 second cap time would be akin to the 3000+hp potion. It would work fine.[/quote]Expanding on that, they could just reduce the duration of cap locks to 10-15 seconds and add greater cap locks with a 3 second cast time and 45 second duration.

What do you guys opposed to government control think of Healthy San Francsico? Is a government health care plan as a sub-national level acceptable?

I think the problem with the prison industry is a common one with government contracting. In the normal market if you raise your prices too high eventually you just won't sell anything. The government can't really say no in the end and private industry knows that. They then use the money the government pays them to then lobby for longer sentences and for further criminalition of non-violent offenses. Basically we need to give those people the middle finger and decriminalize pot and th

[quote]Yeah, because they sentence people to dismemberment, stoning, or beheading instead of jail time. Most of the drug offenses we jail people for are capital offenses in Islamic nations, and their appeals processes are sketchy at best.

[quote who="Frogboy"]Historically, transferring wealth or property from one individual to another has been done voluntarily on a per person level and has resulted in a great deal of generosity. Americans, after all, aren't going hungry, quite the opposite.[/quote]I really, really disagree with you here. Historically Americans DID go hungry and DID lead unacceptably poor lives during and after industriallization before the free market was regulated and the welfare state was established.
Yeah, I really don't understand what plot holes people are talking about. When the protagonist stole the spacecraft he flew it poorly and was desperate, convinced that he had no chance of surviving for three years. The alien technology wasn't so complicated that it couldn't be used badly, it just required alien DNA to function. When the alien who actually knew what he was doing took command he clearly understood and used the technology much better. The hero's erratic or counterproduct

[quote]BTW, the top 20% may have 50% of the "financial wealth" (though I'm dubious on how that amount is measured as it's extremely subjective). But the top 20% pay about 80% of the federal taxes. ( http://www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/250.html ) an amount that isn't subjective. So one can easily make the argument that tqhe wealthiest are already paying, even by the left's highly subjective valuation
