Second: Islam is TOLERANT?! Whoever suggests that is insane, or at least is ignorant of what the Koran and Hadith dictate, and have dictated since the days of Muhammad.

Oh and another thing I forgot to write. Whatever is written in the Koran or in the Bible is less important than the general ...

First: This was about Right and Left. What Happened?

I didn't say is. I said was. And if you take any history book that goes ...

First of all tzor:
I really enjoy our conversation. It is more than refreshing, it's extremely nice to have someone backing up the catholic church with some view on things. You do seem to put words into my mouth though, but I take your word for it that often there could be people who just want to ...

just pointing out the 'silly' global warming religion thing.

You should really look more closely into the predictions and calculations. I for once was very much convinced when my hardcore anti-global warming scientist friend all of a sudden changed his opinion after he had spent a couple of days ...

Wuhuu! It wasn't a problem for the publisher.
Good luck ... sounds like it is going forward. There is definitely a large market outside of the US, so perhaps any US difficulties will be irrelevant. And, perhaps we have over-estimated the negative reception within the US. I actually hope so! I do ...

It will have PG13 tag on the box. It's a German-style/Euro Game board game with target audience from young adults to adults. Probably with ages from 15-35.

Wuhuu! It wasn't a problem for the publisher.

Whether gay couples are a minority isnt the point. If its a mater of business the only statistic that matters is how many people won't buy your game who otherwise would have if you do/don't allow same sex relations. As your US publisher, presumably a specialist on their market, thinks it should be ...

Just the fact that homosexuality is mentioned will put it into the realm of an "agenda" by some.... or, at least boost the age-appropriateness of the game. Like it or not, that is how it will be seen here within the US.

That's the thing - homosexuality is hardly mentioned in the rules. The only ...

For instance if this is a game which kids or adolescents would play, you would have some parents up in arms. If it's an adult game you probably wouldn't have much trouble as long as it's clearly labelled as such (lots of people pick up a game for the kids and don't look at it closely). In my ...

Well, I approached the publisher with the issue and they replied by wanting to see the way we put it there. So still no idea if it's a problem for them. Also, as the game is going to the print in China soon there simply isn't time to make any changes to the graphics. And they'd need to be visual ...

Yup, and only men do gay things .

Primal Men looks awesome, too!

Thanks! It's surprising though that out of the four we have finished that's the only game we haven't had any deal negotiations yet, although user groups and press has showed it maybe biggest interest. Hopefully in October in Spiel we manage to craft a deal with that ...

Well some male dancers do have big... ummm... equipment as their hidden trait, but other than that no.

America just isn't like Europe, Jucdor. Politically they have a strong conservative backbone which has less tolerance for same sex relationships as is generally the case in Europe. I think its really a case that you need one edition for the US market which excludes same sex relationships and ...

You will have to tell me the name of the game in America once you know... I would like to play it!

Oh, the name issue hasn't been discussed. It's the name we presented them with. Now that I once again want to make sure (and this isn't a liptalk, but pure fact) that our cooperation with them has ...

who cares

Actually I do - a lot. And I think once the game hits the stores then a lot of other people will care as well - otherwise they wouldn't have changed it or what's worse we might get questions why gay couples are not allowed in our game. What disturbs me most is that I tried to make sure ...

i can't see the problem.

your first rule 3 says different gender, your second rule 3 says different gender.
No, actually, the first rule says that if they are of the opposite gender, then Rule 3 is filled. If they are of the same gender, they must have two qualities that are the same.

The second ...

i can't see the problem.

your first rule 3 says different gender, your second rule 3 says different gender.

You see, in the game there are four visible qualities (plus one hidden one). What we want to have is that two visible qualities must match and what they want is that two visible qualities ...

I don't know if it's appropriate to talk this in public here, but I don't know that many Americans and I really need some help to know how tender this issue is.

Ok here's the deal. Our company has made a new board game that's coming out in September. Now is the time to finish up with the ...

Oooh, let's talk about names... Homer, Homeros, Louis, Ludvig, [u]Mao Zedong, Mao Tsetung,[./u] La Bastille, Bastilji....

I think you said the same one twice: Mao Zedong and Mao Tsetung are the same person with different spellings.

Kinda like the endless dozen spellings for Momar Quadaffi(sp ...

So important a day, you spelt it's name wrong. But I assume you're winding me up, right?

Which name? The prison? I don't speak French and I usually have trouble writing it as the pronounciation and spelling is so far away from one another.


La Bastille. Never mind that twaddle though, I'm ...

( Medieval Universities ) One of the key figures in the rise of the medieval university was Pope Gregory VII. In 1079, he issued a papal decree mandating the creation of cathedral schools that would be responsible for educafting the clergy. This decree ultimately led to the proliferation of ...

One problem with the first part, the Turks were not, are not, and have never been Arabs. They had a tendency to burn and desecrate many things not to their liking.


Whoa! Bad reputation really does die hard. On the contrary Turks were a much tolerant people than christians at the time and the ...

First of all, it was the Byzantines that had preserved the culture and science of the Greeks during the Dark and Middle Ages (especially since the Byzantines kind of controlled the area), also the Roman Catholic Church had some of the works of the Ancients, and it was during the Renaissance that ...
