There's a bunch of games that are premium, and require at least 1 player in the game with premium membership to be able to start playing. There's also various other benefits for premium members, like allowing multiple players from the same IP

It is unclear at this time whether the perpetrator managed to escape scot-free.

 

Part 1 here

As you can tell if you watched Pt 1, Norwegian police have a tendency to play favourites...

Haha no, if you check the modlog you'll see profilename1 did it. I think he misunderstood something I said, in that I was trying to pin your post at the time. Not that I have any objections 😂

This was weeks ago BTW 😜

A week seems optimistic, this one lasted all of 5 minutes

We kicked him out of office a few years ago, then prosecuted his ass and jailed him. Happy ending? Not quite. His political party is permanently on the verge of freeing him, and there's a non zero chance he'll be PM again at some point in future. Malaysian politics are a ride.

Man, I don't think I've EVER seen sheeple used unironically in the wild. (2nd person perspective)

That bridge is not only narrow, it's hugely, extremely, wobbly. A single person walking across gets it shaking. I would not have enjoyed being on that bridge at the time it happened!

 

Police translation at end: "Lay still, lay still. You touch the gun, I will shoot you in the head. Don't touch the gun!"

Context: Gunman had robbed a jewellery store and shots had been fired, so they were considered high-risk.

For those not in the know: Phil Eklund is the designer behind the Pax series of games, which are extremely popular and have several interesting mechanics. Unfortunately he's also a rabid libertarian and treats his rulebooks like political manifestos.

There's some speculation over on the place that shall not be named, that he was actually deported due to not having a valid work visa. I certainly doubt he's famous enough to be deported on recognition of his own assholeness. Most of his claims are also contradictory to comments his employer (who he will still working for remotely) has made. So take everything except the deportation fact with a tablespoon of salt.

There's the warhammer community I think, but I don't know if that's what you're looking for. I'm not aware of any game designer comm at the moment. You're more than welcome to post here and see if you can get feedback!

He got a warning and ignored it... can we double the fine?

Turns out to be pretty funny instead of cringe

For those who don't get it:

 

To mark the end of 13 years of education, Norway’s high school graduates participate in a celebration characterized by unique outfits, bedazzled buses, and magnificent parties.

 

Digitizing government welfare services is supposed to help make the services more accessible to everyone. But are these measures accomplishing this goal, or are they unintentionally leaving people behind?

 

The Norwegian press’ code of journalistic ethics has guided them through #MeToo, the deluge of fake news, and many other upheavals.

 

Researchers have been looking at what happened when rivers were granted status as legal persons. In New Zealand, they are seeing particularly promising developments in indigenous peoples’ rights and conditions.

 

A deep socioeconomic divide splits Oslo from east to west. It will continue to deepen unless it is more widely acknowledged and addressed.
