Report away. Are you really that dim ? First off, he is indeed attacking people. c'mon man.soundman wrote:porkenbeans wrote:Thank you for your thoughtful insight, Keffers' dad.

When I turned it around in my example, by making the bible belt the clan territory, You may understand that it is NOT so funny when YOU are the bud of the joke. Even when you look at the fact that , that statement is more accurate than the statement, the the northeast are Commies.lt_oddball wrote:porkenbeans wrote: and the Democratic areas with the hammer and sickle
I'll give you that..yes, better have the (veeery difficult to see) hammer-sickle placed where it belongs: Cuba.
US Democrats are far far far away from anything communist or even the leftiest socialist party of Europe (as in France, or Italy).
But for the overall tone..the concept of the map is greeted with enthusiam by the players.
They do understand the tongue in cheek humor of it.
As USA/Canada is sooo big , any splinter fraction (political or cultural or social or religious ) is still large enough to make a "country".
Don't get too excited about it Porkenbeans.
But maybe , hmmm, be careful with implementing religious parties (Islam, bible belt) as one would perhaps call for a Jewish Lobby County, Greek Orthodox longbeards or other crazy stuff..and that sores the humor of the map.
(on the other hand the "Sharia" lobby of islamists in Indonesia and elsewhere is something where religion meddles with society/politics..and that is both frightening as laughable).
Ask any bartender, what subjects you should avoid talking about in mixed company, and he will tell you. Religion and politics. That is for a very good reason. Anyone with half a brain could glean the wisdom here.
This map not only speaks to these two subjects, it is crystal clear to me that it is taking the side of the wingnuts.
This map is an attack from the right against the left, simple as that. It IS inappropriate for a CC map, and it should be locked down immediately.
First off, isaiah is not attacking anyone. He's made a map and taken the traditional religious and political areas and put them in his map with a few additions. After all, IT'S 50 YEARS IN THE FUTURE!!!! it really doesn't have anything to do with today. So leave him and this tread alone with your childish wining or I'll report you to the C&A for trolling and flaming.
